Jun Wushang's hands touched her face.
"Don't forget."
"Um."
"Never forget."
She wanted him to remember who he really was.
The self that can no longer exist.
Jun Wushang looked at her, not understanding where the sadness in her eyes came from.
Her sadness made his heart ache.
He reached out and held her tightly in his arms, his deep and pleasant voice ringing in her ears, "No, I will never forget."
At the same time, after Bei Nianjin was sent back, he was directly called to the front hall by Bei Changping and Bei's mother for questioning.
"What are those things that are being spread outside? What are they really about?" Bei Changping had been living in fear. He finally waited for his daughter to come back so that he could find out the whole story.
"What's going on outside?" Bei Nianjin asked with a puzzled look.
"The matter of Yutang and the Regent's marriage."
Bei Nianjin was stunned and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Aren't my sister and the Regent an engaged couple?"
"What did you say?" Bei Changping's voice suddenly rose.
Bei Nianjin said innocently, "Wasn't it you, father, who arranged this marriage?"
"Who told you that the Regent is Yutang's fiancé?" Bei Changping was furious. Who on earth was the damn person who framed their Marquis' Mansion?
"My sister said it herself." Bei Nianjin said crisply.
"She said that?" Bei Changping said gritting his teeth.
Bei Nianjin nodded.
Bei Nianjin had initially thought she had misremembered it, but now it seemed that was not the case. Bei Yutang and Jun Wushang had no engagement at all.
If this matter were to get out, even if she would eventually marry Jun Wushang, she would still have a stain on her and would be criticized.
However, she could use this incident to sow discord between her father and her mother and daughter.
Bei's mother was also shocked, but she didn't believe Bei Nianjin's words. "It's not too late to ask about this matter after Tang'er comes back."
Bei Nianjin said with a hurt look on his face, "Mother, are you suspecting I'm lying? Everyone present heard it clearly. If you and father don't believe me, you can ask Mo Hua."
Bei's mother glared at her. This little bitch actually dared to make things difficult for her in front of her.
After hearing this, Bei Changping immediately shouted to the people outside, "Call Mo Hua over."
The ink painting was soon brought.
Before Bei Changping could speak, Bei Nianjin spoke first, "Mo Hua, I have something to ask you. You must tell your father and mother the truth. At the banquet, did your young lady tell everyone that the Regent was her fiancé?"
Mo Hua cautiously glanced at the furious Marquis and his wife who were sitting in the upper seat, then looked at Bei Nianjin, hesitating and not daring to say anything.
When Bei's mother saw the maid's expression, she had a bad feeling.
That girl is not someone who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. How could she say such words?
Bei Changping slammed the table and said, "Speak!"
Mo Hua was startled and murmured, "Yes."
"That's what my sister said, right?"
Mo Hua was unwilling to accept it, but knew that he couldn't hide it, so he gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes."
Bei Nianjin raised his head and looked at his mother, "Mother, can you prove my innocence now?"
Bei's mother forced a stiff smile and said, "Kid, when did I ever stop trusting you? You're good in everything except that you're too suspicious."
"Yes." Bei Nianjin responded with a look of grievance, biting his lower lip. His pitiful appearance was really heartbreaking.
