Chapter 384 This group of spectators is so easy to lead!
"Grow old together with you? Me?" Jiang Lifeng lowered his head slowly, his expression contemptuous, "How are you going to prove that we ever had such a relationship?"
Even though many people in the Ding Mansion had seen him before, everyone knew that the testimonies of relatives and friends could not be fully trusted.
Ding Ruihan was also obviously aware of this problem, and her face turned a little paler, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "Then how are you going to prove that the jade pendant was not given to me by you?!"
She had no way to prove that they had ever made such a vow of love, but could he have a way to prove that they hadn't? !
Jiang Lifeng was stunned for a moment by the boomerang.
Jiang Yingcheng was stunned: [What a clever rhetoric! ]
The classic story of "How to prove your mother is your mother" from the previous life suddenly came to Jiang Yingcheng's mind, and he almost applauded Ding Ruihan!
[As expected, truly smart people never let themselves fall into self-justification, they always pass the problem to others! ]
However——
[Sister Rui Han doesn’t even know Brother Li Feng’s real name…]
In a place where Ding Ruihan couldn't hear, Jiang Yingcheng launched a three-hit combo of soul-torturing attacks——
[If such an important gift has been given, it must be time to discuss marriage, then...]
[Does she know the true identity of Brother Li Feng? ]
[They were already talking about marriage, why would she go boating on the lake and get on someone else's pleasure boat?! ]
[If she really accepted the jade pendant as a gift, then where is such an important jade pendant now? It was a gift from the previous emperor, she wouldn't say that she was careless and lost it, right?]
Each of the three interrogations was simple and clear, hitting the nail on the head, but because of her character of "a naive and ignorant little girl" she couldn't ask directly. Jiang Yingcheng was extremely anxious: [Damn it, Cheng, Chengcheng, if only she had prepared a recording speaker in advance! ]
That way she could pretend to raise questions in a mature manner, quietly hide outside the government office, and pretend that the noise was made by the crowd!
The feeling of having what she thought was a brilliant idea in her mind but not being able to express it out loud almost made her fall backwards with anger.
Jiang Lifeng: "..."
Although this method of directly exposing a woman's private affairs is a bit crude, since the other party already wants to kill him, he will not show any mercy!
The young man's advice was quite good, and the future Prince of Nanyang accepted it with a smile!
Jiang Lifeng suddenly turned around and faced Ding Ruihan behind him and the people outside the government office. He said in a stern voice: "Since you said that the jade pendant was a token of love that I gave you, then..."
His eyes dimmed, and he pretended to come up with the answer himself, disrupting the order of the young man's questions: "The brother outside the door just now said that when you and I were very close, you still went boating on the Chunyi River. Was this behavior inappropriate?"
"Besides, since you and I have developed to this stage, we should have discussed marriage. Miss, do you know my name and where I live?"
"Finally, where is the jade pendant now? I have no emotional entanglement with you now. The jade pendant was given by the late emperor. I hope you can return it to me."
"I am willing to exchange other treasures for that jade pendant. I hope you will be so kind as to accept it."
Ding Ruihan was choked for a long time by the series of questions. Seeing this, the people outside the door also stopped denouncing hesitantly, and the air seemed to be stagnant at this moment.
She looked up in astonishment at the man she had chosen to spend her life with. She stammered for a long time, unable to answer a single question.
At first, Nie Wen had repeatedly proposed to invite a matchmaker to her house, but at that time, she had not yet assessed the financial resources of those men's families, so she refused every time.
Later, he said that the elders of his family happened to pass by Fengjin County, and proposed to organize a dinner party as friends so that she could meet him first. For this purpose, he specially invited two good friends to fill the party, but she sternly refused.
After that, he never made similar requests again and just took care of himself and tried to please himself carefully.
But all this changed after that day's trip on the painting boat!
Ding Ruihan no longer had the aggressive aura she had just now, and her eyes suddenly filled with heat: "Brother Wen, why are you..."
The words stopped here at the perfect moment, leaving only the sobbing sound full of grievance that continued for a long time.
Jiang Lifeng was stunned.
All the memories of the past came to his mind because of these two lines of tears. He slowly scratched his fingertips with his fingernails and spoke softly: "You——"
[Why aren't you as easy to fool as before? ! ]
Jiang Yingcheng took it over smoothly.
Jiang Lifeng: "..."
The sympathy in his heart suddenly withdrew, and the outstretched hand was slowly retracted.
Jiang Yingcheng vividly imitated Ding Ruihan's words in his mind: [Thinking back to the days when we traveled together, I was responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, and you were responsible for paying and working. Even the accessories I wore when I went out to make a show were bought by you, a sucker~]
The last sentence was emphasized with rhythmic emphasis.
Jiang Lifeng took a deep breath and silently recited the "Heart Purification Mantra" in his heart.
[Also, every time Sister Rui Han started to cry, Brother Li Feng would give all the money he had saved from his frugal life to Sister Rui Han. Sister Rui Han used the money to eat and drink well at the Ding Mansion, while Brother Li Feng could only live a rough life with simple meals! ]
[Oh oh oh, there's something even more exciting here! Brother Li Feng——]
“Cough cough cough cough!!”
Jiang Lifeng suddenly coughed heavily several times, interrupting the young man's inner thoughts.
He admitted that he was really gullible in the past, but he really didn't want others to know how gullible he was!
Don’t think he didn’t see it, the ministers who could hear the little guy’s thoughts, their eyes were almost shining!!
Jiang Lifeng gritted his teeth secretly and took a few steps forward, wanting to end this farce as soon as possible.
He extended his hand again: "Miss, can you give me back the jade pendant?"
At the same time, I made up my mind that as long as Ding Ruihan could truly repent and apologize sincerely, this matter could be put to rest...
He didn't want to end their acquaintance in such an undignified way.
Suddenly, there was another commotion at the back of the crowd, and a powerful voice succeeded in breaking through the crowd: "Make way! I am an important witness in this case, please make way!"
All the people in the court stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the government office.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a beard appeared in everyone's sight. Zou Cailiang waved his hand and ordered the officers to let the man in.
As soon as he entered the court, the middle-aged man knelt on the ground with a plop: "Sir, I am the owner of a jewelry store in the city. Just yesterday--"
He pointed at Ding Ruihan who was kneeling beside him and said loudly, "This woman came to my shop and picked out a hairpin, saying that it was something she lost a few days ago. She also said that she wanted to report it to the police today and asked me to be her personal witness!"
Zou Cailiang: “…”
"I am touched by his sincerity, so I come here today to bear witness—"
Before he could finish his words, a male voice was heard from the crowd outside the government office.
"But a mysterious person suddenly visited your store late at night and said he had a treasure that he was eager to sell?"
Bearded man: “?”
Although it was unexpected, he thought Ding Ruihan had already told him about it, so he didn't care: "That's right!"
He didn't turn around, so he didn't notice Ding Ruihan's face suddenly turning pale. He just kept talking to himself, "That guy——"
The man continued, "He was dressed in black and behaved mysteriously, but because his offer was a good deal, you had the guts to accept it?"
The bearded man's eyes lit up: "That's right!"
"The shopkeeper has a keen eye, so he must be able to recognize that person at a glance?"
The bearded man was very happy: "That's right!"
He hadn't even said a few words when the crowd automatically filled in the blanks for him!
This group of people who come to watch the show are so easy to lead!
