Hearing his voice, Deng Ningxue turned around in panic, only to see Yinzhen, the Tenth Prince, Deng Weimin and other officials all appear on the city wall.
Yinzhen's expression was as cold and stern as ever, the Tenth Prince looked filled with anger, Deng Weimin was pale and looked anxious, and the other officials had different expressions.
Seeing this scene, Deng Ningxue's face instantly turned pale as paper.
The Tenth Prince walked up to Jiang Ranli and the Fourteenth Prince, glaring at Deng Ningxue coldly.
At first, because he didn't like Deng Ningxue, whenever Deng Ningxue appeared, he would make an excuse to leave, so that he thought that his ninth brother treated Deng Ningxue differently. But later, the Tenth Prince learned that it was actually his ninth brother who asked Deng Ningxue to leave every time, but Deng Ningxue didn't listen, which led to those untrue rumors outside.
"Li'er, don't believe the rumors outside. They are all fake. I guarantee you with my own integrity that there is absolutely nothing between Ninth Brother and that woman." The Tenth Prince was worried that Jiang Ranli would misunderstand, so he patted his chest to assure her.
Jiang Ranli was a little amused when she heard this. Although she had a good relationship with the Tenth Prince and shouldn't distrust him as a friend, she really didn't find any righteousness in the Tenth Prince.
"Li'er, what's with that expression on your face? Don't you believe me?" the Tenth Prince asked unhappily.
Jiang Ranli quickly shook his head, "No, no, of course I believe you, I believe you."
Deng Weimin stepped forward and scolded Deng Ningxue in a low voice. Although he loved his daughter, he would never allow her to ruin his reputation. If she did, his future would be ruined.
"Hurry up and apologize to the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master, the Fourteenth Master, and Mrs. Jiang," Deng Weimin said angrily.
It was the first time that Deng Ningxue heard her father speak so harshly. She was stunned for a moment, and then she felt a huge sense of grievance in her heart. It was obvious that she liked Yin'er first, but in the end, it was Jiang Ranli, whom she had always looked down upon, who succeeded. How could she be willing to accept this?
"Dad, Fourteenth Master said that Madam Jiang is Ninth Master's concubine. How is that possible? I don't believe it. I just asked to express my doubts. What's wrong with that? Besides, everyone in Jinan knows that my relationship with Ninth Master is special these days. If I don't explain it clearly, how will I face people in the future? Everyone says that I am Ninth Master's person, but now... Aren't you forcing me to death?" Deng Ningxue said as she started crying.
When everyone heard these words, their expressions changed. They had heard a lot of rumors these days. Just as Deng Ningxue said, if Yinzhen did not admit it, how would Deng Ningxue face people in the future and how would she get married?
Jiang Ranli frowned, sighing inwardly that although Deng Ningxue was young, she was not someone to be trifled with. Now, he was completely entangled by her.
"I swear here that I have nothing to do with Deng Ningxue. Those rumors are all groundless and fabricated. I have a clear conscience."
Yinzhen was unmoved and made a vow directly. He didn't want Jiang Ranli to misunderstand him, nor did he like being controlled by others. Deng Ningxue's attempt to use public opinion to force him made him even more disgusted.
Hearing Yin'er's oath, everyone's expression changed again. Yin'er was a prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his status was noble and extraordinary. Now he directly swore an oath to prove his innocence, which was enough to prove that he was honest.
