It is said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, but Ni Yueshan now thinks that it may not be the case!
Concubine Wan was very unhappy: "Fourth Prince, you must take responsibility for what you said!"
The Imperial Noble Consort glanced coldly at Concubine Wan: "What are you talking about, Concubine Wan? Are you suspecting that the Fourth Prince is lying?"
The current situation was very unfavorable to Ni Yueshan, and Concubine Wan was inevitably anxious: "Yueshan, think carefully, was there anyone else present at the time who could testify for you and prove that you are innocent?"
Jing Chengzhi was not present at the time, but he dared to give false testimony, and the others present...
Ni Yueshan's gaze fell on a direction not far away, where stood Ni Yueshuang. At that time, she was hiding behind the rockery and had not appeared, but Ni Yueshan could see the corner of her skirt clearly and knew it was her!
If Ni Yueshuang comes out to testify, not only will her identity be exposed, but she might also bite back at us.
Ni Yueshan lowered his head: "No."
No one testified for her, which meant she had no defense.
"Queen, what do you think, how should we deal with such a domineering woman?" The imperial concubine looked at the queen, her face full of anticipation.
"Does Concubine Wan have anything else to ask?"
Concubine Wan was in a bit of a dilemma. It would have been easy to talk to the three women kneeling below, but Jing Chengzhi was a witness, so there was nothing she could do.
Concubine Wan sighed and said, "Empress, I have no more questions."
Ni Yueshan was grateful to Concubine Wan, and Jing Chengzhi's hatred for her became deeper.
Ni Yueshuang's lips curled up slightly. Wasn't Ni Yueshan very proud? He had never let her fall before, but now she was reaping the consequences.
carefree!
Ni Yueshan was about to be dealt with, and Yang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Although it hurt a little, she knew that the Queen would not punish Ni Yueshan lightly!
Zou Yangyao seemed to have nothing to do with it. He stood far away and watched everything with a calm expression.
Everyone was waiting to see the show, but the queen coughed lightly and said, "Someone, come here, Miss Ni is arrogant..."
"Mother, wait a minute!"
A voice sounded behind the crowd, and a figure appeared in everyone's sight. Ni Yueshan turned around and saw that it was Jing Yuchen!
Jing Yuchen was obviously a little drunk, his steps were a little unsteady, and the palace servants beside him carefully supported him. A wicked smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Your son greets the Queen Mother."
Although Jing Yuchen was not the Queen's biological child, she had raised him and was quite fond of him. She scolded him, "If you get drunk, go down and rest."
"Mother, I was taking a nap behind the rockery at the time and witnessed everything with my own eyes. I saw the entire process clearly."
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise. She was about to be convicted. If Jing Yuchen wanted her to be punished, he could have stayed away from her. But he showed up now. Was he trying to save her?
Concubine Wan's eyes lit up: "What did the Second Prince see?"
"This prince saw it with his own eyes. It was Miss Yang who spoke rudely first and then attacked. Miss Ni was just defending herself and fighting back!"
Jing Yuchen spoke calmly, without even looking at Ni Yueshan, but his words were enough to turn the tables for Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan just felt curious. What was Jing Yuchen doing?
"Second Prince, are you drunk and didn't see clearly?" The imperial concubine looked at Jing Yuchen with displeasure.
Jing Yuchen's expression was calm, and he smiled wickedly, bewitching people: "Royal Concubine, how could this prince dare to come out and testify without seeing clearly? Although this prince is slightly tipsy, he is not drunk to death!"
Yang Wanqing's expression changed constantly. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had suffered great injustice. She began to cry, "Second Prince, you, you must have seen it wrongly. I wasn't the first to strike!"
Jing Chengzhi also spoke up: "Yes, second brother, you drank some wine and are a little drunk. Why don't you wait until you sober up before coming out to testify!"
But by that time, Ni Yueshan would have been dealt with.
"I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. How could I be wrong? At that time, I also saw a woman hiding behind the rockery. She also witnessed everything."
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen looked at a certain place, and everyone followed his gaze. Ni Yueshuang's expression changed.
Today she came to the banquet disguised as a maid, which was not glorious in itself, and what she feared most was being in the spotlight. If she stood quietly behind Ni Yueshan, saying nothing and keeping her head down, no one would notice her. But if she stood out to testify, wouldn't that obviously expose herself?
Ni Yueshuang was under immense pressure. The Queen and the others shifted their gazes and asked, "Who is this? Why don't you come over and be questioned?"
Ni Yueshuang shuddered, lowered her head, walked out, and knelt down, "This servant greets all the masters."
Concubine Wan sternly questioned, "Why didn't you come forward when I asked if there were any other witnesses?"
"I was afraid, so I didn't dare to stand up!"
Ni Yueshuang knew that it was useless for her to deny her absence, because it was Jing Yuchen who testified that it was her!
"Tell us everything you've seen and heard, exactly as you saw it!"
Before Ni Yueshuang could speak, the Imperial Noble Consort ordered, "Raise your head!"
She always felt that Ni Yueshuang looked very familiar...
Ni Yueshuang's body stiffened. If people knew that she had come here disguised as a maid, wouldn't it bring disgrace to the Xiangfu family and her reputation?
Ni Yueshuang hesitated, and the Imperial Noble Consort was slightly displeased: "I told you to raise your head!"
Ni Yueshuang bit her lip and slowly raised her face. After seeing her appearance clearly, many people recognized Ni Yueshuang.
Jing Chengzhi couldn't hide his surprise, "So it's Miss Ni Er? She's Miss Ni Da's sister, how can her words count?"
Yang Wanqing quickly spoke up, "The Fourth Prince's words are true! Her words are true! Miss Ni is well-educated, gentle, virtuous, and upright. She would never distort the facts just because of her blood relationship with Ni Yueshan!"
Ni Yueshuang hates Ni Yueshan just as much as she hates Ni Yueshan!
So Yang Wanqing felt that what Ni Yueshuang said absolutely counted!
"Miss Yang believes in Miss Ni Er, and I think everyone should believe it too." The Imperial Concubine knew very well the relationship between Ni Yueshuang and Ni Yueshan. They were incompatible like water and fire. There was no reason for Ni Yueshuang to protect Ni Yueshan!
Ni Yueshan is doomed this time.
Concubine Wan felt that as a daughter of the Ni family, she should trust Ni Yueshuang. After all, this was related to the reputation of the Ni family's daughters.
"I am guilty. I was indeed present at the time, but because my identity was not suitable, I chose not to come forward..."
She looked as if she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground. Jing Yuchen narrowed his eyes and reminded her, "As daughters of the Ni family, we all prosper together and suffer together. Miss Ni, please think carefully before you speak."
Ni Yueshuang was struggling over who to help. She tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand. Jing Yuchen obviously wanted to help Ni Yueshuang!
She didn't speak for a long time, and everyone was getting impatient.
"What are you dawdling about?" the queen urged unhappily.
Yang Wanqing urged with a pale face: "Speak!"
She winked at Ni Yueshuang. They had once harmed Ni Yueshan together, so naturally everyone was happy to see Ni Yueshan in trouble. What was she struggling with now?
