Chapter 304: Chapter 263: Dog Eat Dog

Marquis Jing’an hurriedly arrived at the backyard and saw Jiang Yihuan in disheveled clothing, his face grew somber.

Smack! He slapped Jiang Yihuan across the face.

Jiang Yihuan was awakened by the slap, finally coming to her senses, her mind quickly racing.

She rushed at Marquis Jing’an, clutching his leg, sobbing, "Marquis, I was plotted against by someone. I wanted to go to the privy just now, but was knocked unconscious halfway, and woke up in the side courtyard. Marquis, you must make the decision for me. I am the mother of Zhier, the Second Madam of Jing’an Marquis Mansion. Unless I’m tired of living, how could I do something so suicidal?"

Nearby, Xiao Yanci looked at Jiang Yihuan with a complicated expression.

In past lives and this one, Jiang Yihuan’s best tactic was crying to make men feel sorry for her. The same story, when told by different women, yields different results. At least Jiang Yihuan has the skill to make men feel sorry for her and believe her.

Previously, he was one of the many men who believed Jiang Yihuan. Now, their relationship has changed; he went from being the official wife to a lover. From another perspective, he somewhat sympathizes with the fool named Marquis Jing’an.

As a fellow man, Xiao Yanci could tell with just one look at Marquis Jing’an’s expression that he was wavering. When he first came in, he looked as if he wished to kill her, but now he seemed half convinced.

Xiao Yanci could see it, how could Jiang Yihuan, skilled at manipulating men, not see it? She knew that adding more fuel to the fire could help her get through this crisis. So, she cried and rushed towards the pillar opposite, appearing as though she would prove her innocence by death.

"I know I’ve caused my husband to lose face. As a mother, I can’t let Zhier be humiliated. Now, I’ll prove my innocence by death. Husband, you must take good care of Zhier, he’s our only child. I... I’ll repay your kindness in the next life."

Crying for a while, Jiang Yihuan lunged towards her target, looking like she was going to crash into it.

Su Yaoguang felt goosebumps on her arms and said to Zhou Wangshu, "Is Marquis Jing’an brainless? He’s being manipulated again."

"If he were smart, he wouldn’t have fallen for Jiang Yihuan’s schemes and married a woman with a heart of a snake and scorpion," said Zhou Wangshu, "For us, whether Marquis Jing’an believes Jiang Yihuan’s innocence isn’t important. Anyway, the seed of doubt is already planted in his heart."

Su Yaoguang saw Wang Ruyan crying and approaching, ready to watch the drama unfold here.

Wang Ruyan stood in front of Xiao Yanci, tears in her eyes, and said, "Husband, don’t you have anything to say to me?"

Xiao Yanci looked at Wang Ruyan with guilt: "Yan’er, I really want to find a hole to crawl into because I can’t face you. Though I don’t know what happened, being discovered in disarray is a fact, and it’s embarrassing for you. Yan’er, you’ll believe me, won’t you?"

Wang Ruyan had been standing in the crowd for a while.

In a short time, she considered rushing over and slapping Xiao Yanci several times, divorcing him on the spot and expelling this disgraceful man from the Prime Minister’s Mansion. She also thought about spinning the situation to appear magnanimous. But when Jiang Yihuan said they were framed, she felt relieved.

This should be the best solution.

The two were plotted against by malicious people, not actually rekindling old flames or having an affair here. This saves face for Jing’an Marquis Mansion and the Prime Minister’s Mansion. As for the truth, she can privately inquire later.

This Jiang Yihuan is just a willow leaf beauty, merely so-so. If Xiao Yanci really wants women, she can gift him a few beautiful concubines, surely better than Jiang Yihuan.

Su Yaoguang saw how easily Jiang Yihuan broke through this predicament and secretly thought, "Losing to her in the last life was truly deserved."

Zhou Wangshu held Su Yaoguang’s hand and said, "Are you tired? If you are, you can return to your room to rest; I’ll handle what’s happening here, you don’t have to worry."

At the banquet for entering the family registry, a pair of lovers having an affair caused a fire, which then injured the mansion’s second young master, thus eliminating Zhou Wangshu’s strongest rival. The incident must have already spread, with various versions of the story circulating in those storytellers’ minds.

Marquis Jing’an and the Prime Minister’s Mansion will definitely seek an explanation from Marquis Cheng’an.

As the newly appointed successor and the main character of today’s banquet, Zhou Wangshu must step forward to resolve this matter.
