When Ah Da, who was standing by, heard this, he also put away the red candle.
As soon as Princess Jiahe finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to her again: "I secretly took the red rouge powder and sprinkled it on the cake, trying to frame Xu Miaomiao."
"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to hurt me like this?"
What Princess Jiahe said really doesn't make sense.
When the woman heard this, she immediately said, "What do you mean by no grudges? On the day of our wedding, Nangong Jin kept calling your name in front of me. My husband has been thinking about another woman. How can I get rid of this anger?"
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao remained silent.
Princess Duan Jing, who was sitting in the main seat, also walked down angrily: "Now that the truth has been revealed, Nangong Jin, what are you going to do?"
Nangong Jin clasped his fist and pointed: "Of course I will report this to the emperor and ask him to make the decision."
"Really? Of course you can do that."
As she spoke, Princess Duan Jing took another step forward and whispered in Nangong Jin's ear: "But don't forget Mr. Zhuang."
Hearing these three words, Nangong Jin was stunned on the spot, his pupils dilated rapidly, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
Xu Miaomiao, who was standing by, saw Nangong Jin's expression. Although she couldn't hear what the two of them were whispering about, she clearly felt that something was wrong.
After thinking for a long time, Nangong Jin slowly said, "It was a chef in my army who accidentally sprinkled red powder on the cakes. It has nothing to do with Madam Xu or Princess Jiahe."
"Hmph." Princess Duanjing angrily waved her sleeves and walked out with Princess Jiahe in her hand.
"That's good."
Watching the two of them leave, Song Zhijin wanted to chase after them, but Xu Miaomiao stopped her, "Madam Song."
Hearing the voice, Song Zhijin turned around to look at Xu Miaomiao in confusion and said, "I wonder what Madam Xu wants me to do?"
"Madam Song, God is watching what you do. If you harm others, you will eventually harm yourself!"
Hearing this, Song Zhijin's face froze visibly, and then she continued, "Madam Xu, what are you talking about? I have something else to do in my house, so I'll take my leave now."
Xu Miaomiao had already seen that this was obviously Song Zhijin's doing, and Princess Jiahe was just her scapegoat, a willing scapegoat at that.
"Madam Xu, I can't help you with this matter. I'm sorry."
After everyone left, Nangong Jin on the side spoke in a somewhat distraught tone.
Xu Miaomiao was even more curious when she heard this: "Princess Duan Jing used Mr. Zhuang to threaten Mr. Nangong."
Nangong Jin looked at Xu Miaomiao with some malice: "How did you know?"
"I've heard that Nangong Xianggong is loyal and righteous. Mr. Zhuang is your teacher, but he was demoted a few years ago because he stood on the wrong side. It was the Jingwang Mansion that pleaded with the emperor, which saved his life. Now he has been living in Jingwang Mansion, relying on the relationship between Jingwang Mansion and Nangong Mansion. After thinking about it, I'm afraid this is the only reason that can threaten Nangong Xianggong."
"Yes." Nangong Jin smiled bitterly and said, "When I rescued the master, he was covered with scars. He is old now. I wanted to take him back to Nangong Mansion to take good care of him, but Prince Jing's Mansion said that the Nangong family and Prince Jing's Mansion are one family, so it doesn't matter who raises him." At this point, Nangong Jin sneered, "In the end, they still don't trust me, so they want to keep a backup plan to threaten me."
"That's why Mr. Nangong willingly married Princess Jiahe." Xu Miaomiao continued to speak from the side.
Hearing this, Nangong Jin nodded with a wry smile, somewhat self-deprecatingly: "They all say that I, Nangong Jin, am second only to the emperor and above everyone else, but in the end, I am just a tool for the royal family to seize power. How can I be immune to it? I am said to be a century-old family, but in fact, I am just a puppet tied to the highest point."
This was the first time Xu Miaomiao heard Nangong Jin's true words. These words made her think about it.
Nangong Jin's dejected and lost look lingered in her mind. When she returned to the department store, the complex emotions took her a long time to recover.
"Miao Miao, what are you thinking about?" Gu Yuan's mother, who was standing by, finally came to her senses after what happened to Xu Qingshan. She didn't want to see Xu Miaomiao so distraught, so she immediately pulled her aside and asked, "Miao Miao, what happened?"
"Nothing." Xu Miaomiao shook her head. Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei were her allies, people she could confide her sincerity to, but there was no need for them to endure such pain with her.
After thinking it over, Xu Miaomiao picked up the medicine box and walked to Prince Jing's mansion: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the mansion?"
"Xu Miaomiao from the Song Mansion requests to see Princess Duan Jing."
"There are so many people who want to see our princess every day. Who do you think you are? Come whenever you want."
The servant at the door spoke rudely and insulted Xu Miaomiao.
Hearing the servant's words, if it were usual, Xu Miaomiao would definitely retort, but now that she had to ask for help, she had to lower her attitude and slowly said, "Please give me some favors, gentlemen."
After saying that, he took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and handed them to the man.
Upon seeing this, the man took the change and went in to report.
After a while, the man came out and looked at Xu Miaomiao, saying, "Our princess said that she is very tired today, and no one should disturb her anymore."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately knelt down at the entrance of the palace and shouted loudly: "Madam Song, Xu Miaomiao, wants to see Princess Duanjing."
The repeated sounds attracted many people to stop and watch. Princess Duan Jing cared most about her face. If she still refused to see him after begging him here, she would definitely be known as a mean person.
So she bet that Princess Jing would not allow her to shout like that outside the door. Sure enough, after a while, the servant inside came out again and whispered a few words to the guards at the door.
The guard also looked down on Xu Miaomiao. He pouted in a low voice before saying, "Okay, the princess has agreed to see you. Go in quickly and don't embarrass our palace at the door."
Although it was only a short while, Xu Miaomiao's legs had become numb from kneeling. She slowly stood up and walked towards the mansion with the medicine box.
The magnificence of this palace is not that of an ordinary mansion. Although it is slightly inferior to the Nangong Mansion, the precious flowers and plants in the courtyard are innumerable. Such splendor was obtained at the cost of countless gossips and intrigues.
Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly.
When she arrived at the inner room, Princess Duan Jing was lying on the bed, fanning herself weakly. She saw Xu Miaomiao open her eyes slightly, then close them again, and slowly said, "Why do you want to see me? You were so tough yesterday, why are you begging me now?"
