The visitor did not come in for a long time, and the emperor was really curious. He was curious about where this place was, who the girl in front of him was, and why Princess Xin would attack a woman.
The girl was wearing a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly, only her eyes could be seen.
But just by looking at her fair skin, the emperor guessed that she must be quite good-looking.
The curious emperor followed the beam outside, and Jiang Yi followed him out.
Just as he was about to go up to the roof, a look of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Yi's face.
She extended her hand to the emperor, who hesitated slightly, thinking that there was some danger here.
Jiang Yi looked at the emperor pleadingly.
She had such beautiful eyes, and her delicate appearance made even the emperor, who had no interest in women, feel pity for her.
The emperor helped her steadily to the roof.
The visitors included not only Princess Xin, but also a group of female relatives, led by Princess Xin and the old lady Geng from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, who was also Jiang Yi's step-grandmother.
They were hesitating outside the compartment door.
The woman standing behind Princess Xin was none other than Jiang Lian. Princess Xin already knew that Jiang Lian was pregnant with Gu Zhili's child, the son of Prince Xin.
In the eyes of Princess Xin, Jiang Lian is her definite daughter-in-law. Currently, Gu Zhili has not yet contacted Jiang Yi for an engagement, but Princess Xin and Jiang Lian, the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are already very close.
Just now at the banquet, Princess Xin expressed her love for Jiang Lian.
Jiang Lian is one year older than Jiang Yi, and has been raised in the Marquis' Mansion since childhood. Geng invited many people to teach Jiang Lian the rules, and Jiang Lian was very calm and composed in front of these people, without showing any timidity at all.
She frowned slightly and looked at a maid in green at the side. "Are you really sure that Fifth Sister is hanging out with the servants here? Don't talk nonsense and tarnish Fifth Sister's reputation."
"The princess came here today to celebrate Grandmother's birthday and to see Fifth Sister, our future daughter-in-law. We told her all this in advance. She must have known the seriousness of the matter. There must be a reason for her not appearing in public. Perhaps she's not feeling well, or something else. How could it be..."
She looked towards the house with great disapproval.
A long-faced girl who came next couldn't help but sneer. This person was obviously on good terms with Jiang Lian, and her tone was full of intimacy, "Lian'er, you just think too highly of your fifth sister."
"Everyone in the capital knows that the fifth daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion has a disfigured face. Even the toads in the courtyard would avoid her when they see her, not to mention the men."
"That is to say, the Marquis' Mansion does not despise her, and the Prince's Mansion is a man who values his promises."
"However, I'm afraid she hasn't seen a man in many years. She didn't know what it was like to see a man, so she naturally wanted to seduce him. It's not impossible that she did such a dirty thing in front of the old lady's birthday party."
"This... can't be." Jiang Lian hesitated and said, "Fifth sister wouldn't be that kind of person. This servant must be talking nonsense."
The long-faced girl said, "Lian'er just thinks too highly of people. Whether it's true or not, you'll know after you go in and take a look."
Jiang Lian then said, "It's fine to take a look, but if Fifth Sister is really messing around with someone, I hope you will all be kind to her, considering it's my grandmother's birthday and that Fifth Sister's face is disfigured and she might be a little extreme."
The two of them sang in unison, and then led the people in through the door.
Jiang Yi saw it clearly from above. The moment the door was pushed open, Geng and Jiang Lian, the grandparents and grandchildren, both showed a triumphant smile on their lips.
Even a noble lady like Princess Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was as if they had already seen Jiang Yi having an affair with someone.
However, the scene inside the door made the leaders frown in unison.
There was no Jiang Yi in the room. There was only a man who looked like a servant, curled up on the ground in dishevel. He seemed to have been drugged, and kept twisting his body. His clothes fell to the ground, revealing his naked body.
The women immediately closed their eyes and quickly left the room.
"What's going on?" Princess Xin's tone was filled with questioning.
She had clearly discussed with the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion beforehand that she must make Jiang Yi lose her virginity in front of everyone today so that the palace could legitimately cancel the engagement. However, everything that happened before their eyes was obviously very different from what they had imagined.
Geng looked around the room, her voice a little exasperated, "Where's the fifth young lady?"
She looked at the maid just now.
The maid also looked bewildered. "I clearly saw it with my own eyes... Could it be that the Fifth Miss knew there were people outside and deliberately hid somewhere?"
She even went in to look around.
Everyone was waiting for the result, and the emperor also looked at Jiang Yi.
The emperor who was able to win the battle for the throne among many princes is naturally not a fool. Even though he was confused at the beginning, after watching the show for so long, the emperor also saw some clues.
Those people below were talking about the Marquis' Mansion, and also said that there was an engagement with the Prince's Mansion. Considering that the person in charge was Princess Xin, it was clear that they were talking about Jiang Yi, the daughter of Marquis Wu'an, who was engaged to Gu Zhili.
In other words, the woman in front of him was Jiang Yi, the daughter of the late Marquis Wu'an.
And according to what the wretched servant said earlier, it was the old lady of the Marquis of Wu'an and Princess Xin who set up the trap against Jiang Yi today.
The girl from the Jiang family who was the first to stand out was obviously a scheming woman who said one thing and meant another.
Perhaps it was because the emperor had not been interested in women for a long time, so he could tell this type of woman apart almost at a glance.
He looked at Jiang Yi in front of him. The girl was trembling all over, her eyes were red, and her already beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked even more pitiful, as if she had been severely bullied.
Jiang Yi said in a trembling voice, "I know today is my step-grandmother's birthday, but she never likes to see me. She even says I'm ugly. If I show up in public rashly, I might lose face in front of the Marquis's Mansion. No one in the Marquis's Mansion has ever mentioned that my future mother-in-law, Princess Xin, would come here."
