This was very thought-provoking, and some of the women and young ladies who had come along earlier couldn't help but show strange expressions.
Jiang Yi even seized on the loopholes in Jiang Lian's words and said, "What do you mean by that, cousin? Could it be that you wish for me to stay in the room and be abused by others?"
"It's just unfortunate. I was on guard when that person came in just now, and I luckily escaped. Originally, I heard this servant just say that it was my step-grandmother and the princess who ordered her to come here, intending to destroy my innocence so that Prince Xin would break off the engagement with me and marry my cousin."
"Princess Xin, is that so?"
Jiang Yi followed what the emperor had just said and made the matter clear.
Princess Xin never expected that the idiot Geng would actually tell others about her, and that servant was also an idiot.
When asked this question, Princess Xin looked a little embarrassed.
No matter how they planned it, it was a shameful thing and could not be brought to light.
A large palace has its reputation to uphold, not to mention that both she and Prince Xin want to push their own sons to be the emperor's heir, the future crown prince.
The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace cannot tolerate even the slightest stain.
That was why, even though she really wanted her son to break off the engagement with Jiang Yi, she held back and let Jiang Yi make a mistake first.
But the opposite happened.
Princess Xin looked at the girl. Unlike the frail and pitiful look she showed when facing the emperor, when Jiang Yi looked at Princess Xin, a smile poured out of his eyes, transforming into a dazzling glow.
This was the second time Princess Xin saw Jiang Yi. The last time was when Jiang Yi was just born.
What surprised her was that Jiang Yi was not as ugly as the rumors said. Of course, perhaps the ugly part was hidden under the veil, so she couldn't see clearly.
Appearance is secondary; the main thing is Jiang Yi's demeanor, which is completely different from the humble and cowardly granddaughter described by Geng.
The girl was bold and confident, and she was also very smart, and she knew how to use such words to motivate her.
If the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife had not died, and the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was now controlled by the Geng family, it would not be a bad idea for this girl to be the Crown Prince's Consort.
only......
After all, Jiang Yi had no chance to be in Prince Xin's Mansion. Although she had thought about asking Zhili to break off the engagement with Jiang Yi, she only wanted to ruin Jiang Yi's reputation and never thought about taking her life.
However, the girl was so smart that breaking off the engagement would mean making an enemy, which would be detrimental to the future of the royal palace. After breaking off the engagement, Jiang Yi could no longer stay.
Of course, Princess Xin showed Jiang Yi a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Of course not. The marriage between Miss Jiang Wu and my son was arranged by my old palace many years ago. We in the Xin Palace are trustworthy and would not do such mean things."
"This seems to be a misunderstanding. Perhaps the others want to alienate us."
Princess Xin easily put the blame on Geng.
Jiang Yi also laughed, "I see that the princess has a kind face, and I don't think she would do such a thing."
Princess Xin smiled back, "This princess also likes you very much. It is a blessing for Zhili to marry you. This princess even wants you to marry her soon."
Jiang Yi climbed up the pole and said, "After all, I have reached the age of marriage. If the princess wants me to marry quickly, now is the time."
Princess Xin's face paled for a moment, "There's no need to be so anxious."
The two of them spoke superficially, so Jiang Yi naturally wanted to cancel the engagement. Everyone in Prince Xin's mansion looked down on her and framed her in every way, and she didn't want to make things uncomfortable.
But Princess Xin will definitely not talk about this matter today.
Moreover, it is impossible for Prince Xin's Mansion to cancel this marriage without being criticized.
She wanted to return to them everything they had done to her in the past.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi's mind moved slightly, and she asked as if jokingly: "By the way, Princess, since you came here today, I also want to confirm something with you."
"Because my step-grandmother wouldn't let me leave the house, I heard a lot of news from the servants in the house. I don't know whether it's true or not. If I'm wrong, please don't blame me."
"People in the palace say that the prince and my cousin have close ties."
"Besides, the prince came to visit me many times before, but he was not looking for me, but for my cousin, so..."
"Is the prince and my cousin secretly in love? If so, I can help them." The girl asked innocently.
Princess Xin was furious, but since she had said nice things in advance, Princess Xin couldn't blame her.
Princess Xin said with a dull face, "Impossible."
"My family is very respectful of etiquette and would never do something like secretly getting married."
Jiang Yi said: "I am relieved now. When I think that I am marrying a gentleman with excellent character, my heart cannot help but feel happy. I hope that the prince will not let me down."
After she finished speaking, Princess Xin's expression turned grim.
However, she had already been the target of public criticism today, and she didn't want to embarrass Jiang Yi in public, so she said hurriedly, "I have something else to do at home today, so I won't stay any longer." Then she left.
All the guests of the Jiang family left. Geng looked at Jiang Yi and wished she could kill her.
This little girl ruined all her plans.
Why does an ugly woman with a disfigured face insist on taking the title of Prince Xin's consort?
Her daughter Lian'er is so much more beautiful than Jiang Yi, and she and the prince are in love with each other.
She really should have killed Jiang Yi earlier.
Jiang Lian was also very anxious and said, "Grandma, what should we do? If we keep dragging it on like this, I'm going to show my pregnancy."
Prince Xin’s Mansion may not be anxious, but Jiang Lian cannot be.
"How about we just go all out and kill Jiang Yi to be done with it?"
Both Geng and Jiang Lian wanted to kill him.
At this moment, Jiang Yiqueyou suddenly said, "You can't kill me."
"This matter has caused a lot of uproar today. If I die, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the world will think that my death is related to Jiang Lian and Prince Xin's Mansion."
"If Jiang Lian marries the prince of the palace, the world will be even more convinced that Jiang Lian killed me for love."
"This is the better scenario. The worse scenario is that the palace will allow Jiang Lian to get pregnant and won't marry her in order to clear themselves."
After saying this, both Geng and Jiang Lian turned pale.
"Of course, I have another good idea." Jiang Yi said again.
