"polite".
The Fourteenth Prince did not turn around to look at Jiang Ranli, but only responded to her in a low voice. His eyes, which seemed to contain stars and moons, looked into the distance, as if they had no focus, and as if they were the scenery in the distance.
"I don't believe it. If she is really the Ninth Master's concubine, then why is she so close to you, the Tenth Master, and the Fourth Master? Shouldn't she avoid suspicion? She is just not a faithful wife. She is definitely not the Ninth Master's concubine." Deng Ningxue pointed at Jiang Ranli and continued to question, saying everything she could think of.
Jiang Ranli sighed. Although some of the things she said to Yinzhen and the Fourteenth Prince were fabricated, she was indeed Yinzhen's concubine. She really did not lie about this.
"Deng Ningxue, it's not your turn to comment on my concubine's situation. If I hear such insulting words again, don't blame me for being rude."
Yin'er's voice was filled with anger. Reputation was so important to a woman. He would not allow anyone to bully or slander Jiang Ranli.
"Li'er has known my grandfather, tenth brother and fourth brother for a long time and they have a very good relationship. In our eyes, she is like a younger sister. What's wrong with siblings being closer? How can it be considered as being unfaithful to one's husband? Miss Deng, don't forget to think before you speak. No matter my grandfather, ninth brother, fourth brother, tenth brother or Li'er, you are not someone you can slander or insult at will."
The Fourteenth Prince's voice was much deeper, and contained a hint of anger.
Deng Ningxue looked at Yinlang and the Fourteenth Prince who were defending Jiang Ranli in every possible way, and her face with exquisite makeup was a little distorted.
"I dare not slander or insult the Fourth Master, the Ninth Master, or the Fourteenth Master, but I don't believe she is the Ninth Master's concubine. If she really is the Ninth Master's concubine, why didn't the Ninth Master go looking for her when he first arrived in Jinan? Instead, he ordered people to close down her Tianxia Restaurant and ignored her."
Listening to Deng Ningxue's hysterical voice, Jiang Ranli felt a headache. If there weren't so many soldiers and disaster victims around, she really wanted to leave and ignore Deng Ningxue. But she couldn't do that now. She had to make things clear, otherwise who knew what rumors would spread in the future.
Jiang Ranli sighed and was about to speak when he heard Yin'er's voice.
"The reason why I didn't go to find Li'er was because I did something that made her angry and I didn't have the face to see her. As for closing the Tianxia Restaurant and ignoring her, it was all to attract her attention. Obviously, my self-proclaimed clever move led everyone to misunderstand me."
Listening to his words, Jiang Ranli thought that he was quite good at making up stories.
However, what Yin'er said was the truth. Although he was angry before, he still couldn't let go of Jiang Ranli. All the things he did, and the things he condoned the Tenth Prince did, were just to attract Jiang Ranli's attention.
"No, that's not right. It's not like that. Master Jiu, you were very fond of me some time ago." Deng Ningxue seemed to have lost her mind at this time. She spoke more and more without restraint and even said such words in front of so many people.
"What do you mean by doting on you? That's because you're shamelessly following Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother has told you so many times to respect yourself, but you pretended not to hear. You even dare to speak so shamelessly and say that Ninth Brother dotes on you. Lord Deng, look at your daughter. Does she look like a lady from an official family?"
As soon as the Tenth Prince stepped onto the city wall, he heard Deng Ningxue's words and jumped out immediately. He didn't want Jiang Ranli to misunderstand him, and he didn't want Yinzhen and Jiang Ranli, who had just reconciled with great difficulty, to have any rifts again.
