Chapter 140: Mrs. Su
The nanny from the princess's mansion originally came with a mission, which was to make Su Jixue calm down.
But now there was no reaction from Prince Zhan's Mansion. It was obvious that the force was not enough, but Shen's arrival gave them an opportunity.
"Everyone, look, look, this is Madam Su from our Prime Minister Su's Mansion. She colluded with the Second Young Lady of their Mansion and lied to our Princess Mansion, saying that it was Second Young Lady Su who saved our Loyal and Brave Marquis's son. But in fact, it was the eldest young lady of the Su family, Su Jixue, who saved our son!"
Mammy's words attracted more people to watch.
"Is this true? When I heard about it before, I thought it was fake news. It turns out that it was really Miss Su who saved Miss Su."
"That's because Second Miss Su falsely claimed credit for saving someone and then turned the tables on her, leaving First Miss Su unjustly accused!"
"It's said that the War King will never make a mistake in choosing someone!"
……
Discussions arose.
Su Mingyue knelt on the ground, her fingers digging into the ground tightly. Her drooping hair obscured her face. She didn't look up. "Mother, are you satisfied now?! Is this the result you wanted to see?!"
She had hoped that this matter wouldn't get out of hand.
But the eldest princess was not happy.
And now, thanks to the Shen family, all those onlookers know about this matter.
Shen's face was extremely ugly. She had not expected this to happen. The people in the Princess's Mansion were so unrefined. "That's not the case. It's not what they said. Mingyue is the most talented woman in the capital. She would never do such a thing."
Shen was dragged by the maids from the princess's mansion and tried to explain to everyone in vain.
"If it's not this, then who saved the loyal and brave Marquis's son?!"
"Back then, there were rumors in the capital that Second Miss Su was a talented writer with a kind heart. You didn't deny it in public!"
"And I heard Miss Su said that she saved the person, but you didn't believe it and even slandered Miss Su. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
"..."
The noises around her were a bit noisy, and Shen's head was buzzing with pain. She had never expected it to turn out like this. She could only shake her head helplessly. No, it's not like that.
The maid at the Princess's residence sneered, "Madam Su, now that the evidence is irrefutable, you're not going to continue to claim that it was the Second Young Lady who saved the Crown Prince, are you?! Our Crown Prince is still suffering in the Princess's residence. Can you afford the consequences?"
"If your prince is suffering, go find Su Jixue. Why take it out on Mingyue?" Shen, who had come to beg for help, was already dizzy and the accusations of those untouchables made her feel ashamed, so these words came out of her mouth.
Lu Jing was obviously poisoned by Su Jixue, what does it have to do with Guan Mingyue!
"How dare you, as the legitimate mother, be so partial to Miss Su Er! This is completely different from the rumored favoritism towards Miss Su Eldest!" The nanny at the Princess's residence had long been instructed not to implicate Su Jixue, no matter what. After all, Lu Jing was still waiting for her help. "Could it be that Madam Su was the one who first came up with that?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a life-saving straw for Su Mingyue. Her eyes lit up and she immediately looked up and said, "Yes, mother, if you hadn't said that no one would know anyway, as long as you said that I saved the person, then no one would know the truth!"
"If it weren't for mother, how could Mingyue, who has always had a close relationship with her sister, do such a thing!"
Su Mingyue looked at Shen with pleading eyes, hoping that Shen would admit the matter in public, so that she would know that Su Mingyue's reputation would remain spotless.
Shen looked at Su Mingyue in disbelief. She had never expected her to say such things in public. She was asking Shen to use her own reputation to support her daughter's. This would clear Su Mingyue's name, but what about Shen?
"Mother, now that things have come to this, Mingyue has made such a grave mistake. My sister's life or death is uncertain. Mingyue is heartbroken and I hope to apologize to her!" Su Mingyue was already very haggard at this time, but she knelt upright with a sense of pride. Such a frank admission of fault changed the views of those around her. "Mother, Mingyue does not want to make the same mistake again. I will kneel until my sister forgives me!"
She spoke very nicely. After all, the eldest princess had already said before she came that if she couldn't get Su Jixue's forgiveness, she would have to give up her legs.
Anyway, there is no difference between being forced to kneel and kneeling voluntarily, so Su Mingyue will of course try to restore as much reputation as possible.
Shen staggered, and if she hadn't been dragged by the maid from the princess's mansion, she would have fallen to the ground. She didn't expect Su Mingyue to be so cruel and just put the pot on her head.
The discussion around suddenly changed direction——
"Look, the Second Miss Su is quite sensible. The key is that Madam Su. I used to think she was partial to the eldest daughter, but I didn't expect that she was actually partial to the Second Miss."
"That's right, he's from the Shen family, and his great-grandfather is Mr. Zhuang. How could this happen?"
"How can you be so partial to both of them when they are legitimate daughters? You really don't know what's going on!"
……
All the accusations were directed at the Shen family.
Seeing the pleading in Su Mingyue's eyes, Shen gritted her teeth and admitted the crime: "Okay, it was all because of me who was momentarily blinded by my thoughts that I did this. If you want to blame someone in the Princess Mansion, blame me. Don't take it out on the child!"
Since she had already taken the blame, Shen wanted to rescue Su Mingyue at the same time.
The princess's family shouldn't take their anger out on her daughter.
"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked too. Just because of your selfishness, Madam Su, the sisters turned against each other, and our prince also suffered!" The nanny in the princess's mansion was not a pushover. Shen wanted them to let Su Mingyue go, but that was impossible.
"Your Second Miss has repeatedly used her life-saving grace to seek credit in front of our Crown Prince. Could this also be something you, her mother, taught her?!"
"Besides, our prince and the eldest lady were childhood sweethearts. If your second lady hadn't interfered, the situation wouldn't be like this now!"
In fact, not only the eldest princess gave instructions, but the prince also gave instructions to them, asking them to make the matter between him and the eldest lady clear.
Shen's face looked extremely ugly. She found that once she lost face, it would be difficult to pick it up again.
Accusations poured in.
All the people she had never lost in her life were lost today.
Su Mingyue lowered her head and said nothing. Her kneeling posture looked pitiful, which further highlighted the dominance of the Shen family, so everyone came together to talk about the Shen family.
Shen looked around, her face pale. She suddenly understood how Su Jixue felt when she was speechless.
"It's really unlucky for Prime Minister Su to marry you!" A nanny rolled her eyes at Shen and then added insult to injury.
Boom!
The nanny who was speaking was suddenly kicked away. A man in a green robe retracted his kick, brushed off his clothes, and bowed to Shen: "It's my son who came back late, and I have caused you so much suffering!"
"Isn't this Su Ce, the eldest son of the Su family? He seems to be studying abroad, why is he back now?!"
"Now there's something good to watch!"
