At this time, Yao Jingjing suddenly walked to Yan Ning's side, picked up a crab prince dumpling and put it on the plate.
Then she smiled at Yan Ning, "Miss Yan, do you like to eat this crab prince dumpling? What a coincidence, I like to eat this too."
Yan Ning raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Since the Mu family arranged this kind of dish,
This shows that many people like this dish and it suits the taste of the general public.”
She didn't want to have too much contact with anyone related to Pei Yuying. Who knew if they would suddenly plot against her?
Thinking of this, Yan Ning was about to leave with the plate.
Suddenly, Yao Jingjing next to her slipped and fell towards her.
"ah……"
Yan Ning's body was faster than his brain. He quickly turned sideways to avoid Yao Jingjing's rushing body.
Yao Jingjing fell heavily to the ground.
When the people around heard the voice, they all looked over and their eyes were focused on Yao Jingjing.
The guests didn't know what had happened. Why did the lady fall?
Everyone's eyes swept over Yan Ning, who was closest to Yao Jingjing, and they all showed an expression of watching a show.
Mu Tingchen heard the voice and turned around to see this scene.
He quickly walked to Yan Ning and asked with concern: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Yan Ning looked down and said, "I'm fine. Where is the bathroom? I'll go to the bathroom to take care of my skirt."
Although she was not knocked down, the hem of her dress was stained with a large stain by the food on Yao Jingjing's plate.
Mu Tingchen waved to the servant next to him, "Take Miss Yan Ning to the bathroom."
Then he looked at Yan Ning again, "If you can't clean it, I'll go find Xinran and ask her to take you to her room to change into new clothes."
Yan Ning nodded slightly and followed the servant to the bathroom.
Yao Jingjing, who had fallen to the ground, was helped up by the Mu family's servants.
Mu Xinya heard the sound and came over. "Miss Yao, why did you fall? Are you hurt?"
Yao Jingjing looked at the rich young men and women who were watching the excitement around her, and shook her head while enduring the pain.
"I'm fine. I just dropped a snack on the ground and accidentally slipped, so I fell."
Seeing that there was nothing interesting to see, the guests around looked away and continued to eat.
Mu Xinya called the servants to clean the floor.
Yao Jingjing looked at Yan Ning's back as he left. She had originally planned to pour the food on the plate on Yan Ning.
But now the result is the same, as long as Yan Ning's clothes are dirty.
Here, Yan Ning followed the servant to the bathroom at the end of the corridor outside.
Yan Ning went into the bathroom to deal with the stain, and the servant who was waiting at the bathroom door was suddenly called away.
Yan Ning was wearing a blue dress today, with a satin lining and a layer of white organza on the outside.
She used a handkerchief dipped in water to wipe the stain on the hem of her skirt at her knees. The stain was wiped off, but a large mark was left.
The mark was particularly conspicuous on the blue dress.
Forget it, let it be!
Yan Ning thought about it and decided that the banquet was almost over, so she might as well go out and find a corner to sit in.
Throwing the handkerchief into the trash can, Yan Ning opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.
The servant standing at the door saw Yan Ning coming out and said, "Miss Yan, the second young master just asked someone to bring back a piece of Third Young Lady's clothes.
The clothes have been sent to the guest room upstairs. I will take you to the guest room to change now!"
Yan Ning looked at the servant. He was not the one who had brought her to the bathroom before.
She asked, "Where is the servant who brought me here just now? Where did she go?"
"Just now, the Second Young Master asked her to send clothes to the guest room, and asked me to wait here for Miss Yan."
Yan Ning could not see any flaws on the servant's face.
However, this statement is full of loopholes.
In an instant, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks emerged in her mind.
The fact that Miss Yao rushed towards her and fell down was itself suspicious.
Maybe this incident was directed at her.
That Miss Yao is Pei Yuying's cousin, and Pei Yuying has a grudge against her.
She had just thought that Miss Yao wanted to pounce on her and push her down, making her look bad at the banquet.
Judging from the current situation, he probably wanted to dirty her clothes, and then took her to the guest room under the pretext of changing clothes to frame her.
As for how to frame her, it was nothing more than having a man appear in the guest room, and then finding an opportunity for someone to discover it and make a big deal out of it, thereby destroying her innocence and reputation.
Yan Ning felt that her guess was almost right.
Isn’t this how this kind of plot is written in novels?
It seems that reading more novels of various types is beneficial.
But this design method is too low-level!
So...is she going along with the strategy now or is she staying out of the game?
What would happen if she didn't follow the servant to the guest room?
Seeing Yan Ning remained silent for a long time, the servant asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Miss Yan? What's the matter?"
Yan Ning said, "I won't change my clothes. I'll go back to the hall first."
"This..." The servant hesitated for a moment, "But Miss Yan, the stain on your clothes is very large and very conspicuous.
If you leave like this, the other guests will talk about you."
Yan Ning looked at her with a half-smile, "It's okay, I don't care."
After saying that, Yan Ning turned and walked towards the hall.
The servant watched Yan Ning's back disappear around the corner of the corridor before turning around and leaving.
When Yan Ning returned to the hall from the side door, he saw Mu Tingchen sitting alone not far away.
It seems like he is...waiting for her?
Mu Tingchen noticed someone looking over here, and when he saw it was Yan Ning, he stood up and walked over.
He lowered his eyes to look at the hem of Yan Ning's skirt, "Can't you clean it? I'll take you to find Xinran and ask her to take you to her room to change clothes."
Yan Ning understood that her previous inference was correct.
She looked at Mu Tingchen in surprise, "Didn't you just tell the servants to take me to the guest room to change clothes?"
Mu Tingchen asked doubtfully: "I didn't..."
Suddenly, he thought of something and his face became serious. "Are you okay?"
Yan Ning shook his head. "I'm fine. I thought the banquet wouldn't last long, so I didn't bother him. That's why I didn't follow the servant to the guest room."
The next second, she changed the subject, "So... you didn't tell the servant to take me to the guest room just now, right?
No wonder the servant I saw when I came out of the bathroom was not the same servant who took me to the bathroom before."
A cold glint flashed in Mu Tingchen's clear eyes. "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."
Yan Ning nodded indifferently.
She didn't have high expectations for Mu Tingchen, as it is better to rely on oneself than on others.
Mu Tingchen looked at Yan Ning and said, "Let me take you to find your second brother and second sister first!"
Yan Ning followed Mu Tingchen towards the crowd and soon found Ning Jiaxin and Ning Jiamu in a corner.
After sending Yan Ning away, Mu Tingchen turned and left the hall.
