Jiang Xuelin almost jumped up.
What about the alliance between Qin and Jin?
Does the Prince Ping's mansion have any daughters?
She must have a daughter, right? You must be talking about her fourth brother and Fu Hanlai's sister, right?
It definitely doesn't refer to her and Fu Hanlai.
At this moment, Jiang Xuelin also realized that things were not going well. She wasn't that stupid; if she could bring it up to her mother to ask, then it must have already spread outside.
But there had been no news before. No one should know about this. It couldn't have been Fu Hanlai, that idiot, who did it, could it?
"...Mother, Prince Ping has another daughter, doesn't he?"
Enraged by Jiang Xuelin's self-deceiving words, Lady Jing'an Marquis ruthlessly shattered her illusions, "The Prince Ping's mansion only has one child, the Prince Ping's heir. Where would a daughter come from?"
Look at her, she doesn't want to marry Fu Hanlai, she even wants to push her fourth brother away.
"I was just about to say that, didn't you say there was no one else around at the time? It can't be that someone close to Prince Ping's son leaked this information, can it?"
The mention of this Lady Jing'an Marquis makes her angry. Although she and the Marquis Jing'an sometimes talk when they are alone at night, they both feel that the Prince of Ping's heir is actually a good candidate. At least he is familiar with Jiang Xuelin, so he won't detain her after the marriage.
But they felt it was good, which was different from someone scheming against them in this marriage.
Besides, they didn't want to make Jiang Xuelin do something she didn't want to do.
For a young woman, marriage is like a second birth, extremely important. If she is unhappy, she will be unhappy for the rest of her life. They can't bear to see their precious daughter suffer with an unhappy man, living a life of constant chaos.
"There really weren't many people there. Very few people went to Yuanshan Temple that day, and you could hardly see anyone on the road."
So who did it?
Why would anyone know about this?
During this period, the Jing'an Marquis's residence had been paying close attention to rumors circulating outside, and would try to suppress any disturbances, but even so, the news still spread.
And it spread when the Marquis of Jing'an's residence wasn't paying attention. Who would believe it was an accident?
It was as if the entire capital city knew about it overnight.
Jiang Xuelin didn't think too much about it; she was just annoyed that the person who spread those words had too much free time.
If you have nothing to do, go find something to do instead of creating problems for others.
"Don't let me find out who it is!"
Jiang Xuelin couldn't help but grind her teeth.
When Lady Jing'an saw her like this, she felt even more helpless.
"You still have the mind to think about these things?"
Jiang Xuelin looked over blankly.
"You were in the process of getting married, and now suddenly news has spread that you and the Prince of Ping fell into the water together..."
"Wait a minute, it wasn't me who fell into the water with that guy Fu Hanlai. He was the one who fell in, and I just went down to save him. I'm not as useless as him."
Lady Jing'an: "..."
I couldn't help but reach out and cover my chest, leaning back.
She was absolutely furious with Jiang Xuelin; he hadn't grasped the point at all!
It was her fault. She had thought that life would be difficult after marriage, so she pampered her more at home to make her more comfortable before her marriage. In addition, her home was really simple, with a harmonious husband and wife and respectful brothers, so she did not give Jiang Xuelin a sense of crisis.
Back then, she always felt sorry for her, always thinking that it would be alright, that she would grow up and be fine, but now, looking at her...
"mother?"
Seeing that Lady Jing'an's expression was not right, Jiang Xuelin, who was just angry that others were spreading rumors and that the rumors were not good, fell silent again.
She did have more reverence for her own mother. If it were the Marquis of Jing'an or her brothers, Jiang Xuelin wouldn't be afraid. But if the Lady of Jing'an were really angry, not only her, but even the Marquis of Jing'an would have to bow his head.
Just as she was about to say something, Steward Zhou from the Marquis's residence suddenly came over and said that the gatekeeper had received a letter and that the lady needed to reply to it personally.
A post from the Prince Ping's residence.
Granny Fang took the invitation from Steward Zhou and handed it to Lady Jing'an.
The gold-embossed invitation looked elegant and luxurious, with the Ping Prince's Mansion logo in the lower corner. When Lady Jing'an opened it, she found it was a visiting card from the Princess of Ping.
A visiting card is different from an invitation to someone else's home. One is for visiting someone else's home, while the other is for inviting someone to your home. When the Prince of Ping's mansion sends a visiting card, it means that he will visit the mansion the next day and that he is informing them in advance. Accepting the card means that he will make arrangements, while returning it means that he is refusing to visit.
Upon seeing that this was a visiting card rather than an invitation, Lady Jing'an's expression softened somewhat.
This whole affair was started in the name of saving Prince Ping's heir. Since they are the woman's family, it is only natural that Prince Ping's residence should come to them to discuss a solution.
Although the Prince Ping's residence is a prince's mansion, while the Marquis Jing'an's residence is merely a marquis's mansion, the difference in status is significant. Even if the Prince Ping's residence sent an invitation to her to visit the Prince Ping's residence the next day, the Lady of the Marquis Jing'an would definitely feel uncomfortable.
"mother?"
Seeing that Lady Jing'an's expression had improved after reading the invitation, Jiang Xuelin tentatively called out to her.
"Princess Ping will be visiting our residence tomorrow." Lady Jing'an Marquis put down the invitation, quickly had a reply prepared, and then told Jiang Xuelin about the next arrangements.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
I have a bad feeling about this.
"Although I don't know how anyone found out that my daughter saved Fu Hanlai, we can agree on a date and say that my guard saved him. That should be fine, right?"
If only things were that simple.
Not only is Jiang Xuelin negotiating a marriage, but Fu Hanlai is too. She knows that the marriage contracts between the Prince of Ping's Mansion and the Marquis of Yongchang's Mansion have already been exchanged.
The exchange of betrothal gifts signifies an engagement, but this incident occurred at that time.
It's hard to say whether the Prince Ping's Mansion is also very annoyed, but no matter what, it was Jiang Xuelin who saved Fu Hanlai, not Fu Hanlai who saved Jiang Xuelin. Therefore, their family has nothing to hide. It is the Prince Ping's Mansion, not their family, that should express their opinion.
Moreover, if it weren't for saving Fu Hanlai's life, Jiang Xuelin wouldn't be facing such trouble right now.
Just because Fu Hanlai is the only son of Prince Ping and the heir apparent, he should be grateful to her for helping him solve all his problems once he leaves the Prince Ping's residence.
After all, Jiang Xuelin could have refused to go into the water or waited for the guards to arrive, but if she had, it's hard to say what would have happened to Fu Hanlai now.
In fact, Princess Ping was indeed very grateful to Jiang Xuelin. Seeing that the Jiang family had accepted the invitation and replied, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she picked up the cup on the stone table, took a sip of the fine tea, and even had the mind to appreciate the exotic flowers and plants in the garden.
Let's also enjoy the scene of King Ping disciplining his son.
Before the rumors started circulating outside, neither she nor the prince knew anything!
I don't know anything!
If things were clear, how could things have suddenly turned out this way?
Princess Ping was still shaken after learning what had happened from the guards, and seeing her son now only fueled her anger.
"Your Highness, shall we get you a thicker stick?"
"Mother!"
