Chapter 454 Painstaking Efforts

Madam of Duke Xing didn’t expect that Shao Wanru could immediately reverse the elders’ opinion with just a few words. Watching the elders listen to her and nod with their faces full of pity, Madam of Duke Xing was so angry that she almost lost her temper.

“Madam, please wait a moment!” Nanny Sheng said in a low voice and looked towards Dongxing. Now the situation was unclear. Even if they could neither directly ruin the Fifth Miss’s reputation nor kill her, they could at least make her suffer the disgraceful reputation as a girl of easy virtue. Wang Shengxue could insist that he had mistaken Dongxing for someone else. Regarding who he thought it was, he would certainly keep his mouth shut.

As long as he kept his mouth shut, Rui’an Great Elder Princess couldn’t intervene in it, but everyone could figure it out. With so many elders around, if the news went out, it would be a scandal.

Madam of Duke Xing nodded. It was not the end. However, in the next moment, the calmness she feigned froze.

“Great Elder Princess, I know this person!” Yujie’s voice was particularly clear in the room.

Madam of Duke Xing grabbed Nanny Sheng’s hand and trembled slightly.

“Madam, even if they find out that it has something to do with us, cousin young master won’t give up your name.” Nanny Sheng also felt bad, but now she had to comfort Madam of Duke Xing, so she said in a low voice.

“Who is she?” Rui’an Great Elder Princess asked coldly.

“She is the maid of the Second Miss of Ning’s Mansion. The Second Miss of Ning’s Mansion has an unusually close relationship with Childe Wang. When we were in Qin’s mansion, my master investigated Ning’s Mansion because of the First Miss. So I know there are two Misses in Ning’s Mansion. The First Miss has a close relationship with the heir of Duke Yong, while the second Miss has a close relationship with Childe Wang. It’s known to all the stores around Ning’s Mansion!”

Yujie pointed at Dongxing and testified loudly.

She had just received a hint from her master to reveal Dongxing’s identity. Yujie did know Dongxing. She found it out and got evidence of what she said when Shao Wanru asked her to investigate Ning’s Mansion. Under the circumstances at that time, it was reasonable for her to investigate Ning’s Mansion because of Qin Yuru.

What had happened between Di Yan and Ning Caixian was a big scandal serial in the capital city, and almost everyone knew it. Qin Yuru made a big scene in Ning’s Mansion, and then Ning Caixian trapped Qin Yuru and damaged her reputation. After that, Ning Caixian knelt at the gate of Qin’s mansion and begged to marry Di Yan as a concubine, and she was sent to the government office by force later. In the end, Ning Caixian died, and Di Yan was still Qin Yuru’s fiance.

It was said that Di Yan was really infatuated with Qin Yuru. Even after Qin Yuru tried to hook up with Prince Cheng, this heir of Duke Yong’s Mansion still set his mind on marrying her and even intended to hold the wedding earlier than scheduled.

Of course, some people considered Di Yan extremely silly. No one knew how many green hats were on his head, and he kept wearing them tightly regardless of sweat. (The green hat has always symbolized a cuckold in Chinese culture.)

Of course, his sweat was also green!

Di Yan had an affair with Ning Caixian at that time. What about the Second Miss? It seemed that she also had an affair with Wang Shengxue.

Those who knew the master of Ning’s Mansion could not help shaking their heads. Ning’s Mansion had raised two indecent daughters, and deserved to be despised!

“Tell me, who do you think this girl is?” Rui’an Great Elder Princess looked towards Wang Shengxue, who was dumbfounded, and shouted harshly.

“I… I thought she was… the Second Miss of Ning’s Mansion…” Wang Shengxue was covered with sweat, but he had to say so. Rui’an Great Elder Princess stared at him with murderous intent in her eyes. As long as he said a word against Shao Wanru, he would probably end up in tragedy.

Wang Shengxue had thought that his Second Aunt would support him. However, seeing Madam of Duke Xing slightly trembling with a pale face, he felt extremely desperate. So he had to give up Ning Xueqing’s name and did not dare to mention Shao Wanru at all.

It was easy to check out the relationship between him and Ning Xueqing and inquire about Dongxing’s identity.

Hearing Wang Shengxue’s words, Madam of Duke Xing almost passed out and glared at him resentfully. Since he didn’t mention anything about Shao Wanru, it meant that it had nothing to do with Shao Wanru. After plotting for so long, she failed to do any harm to Shao Wanru. She felt so reluctant.

“In that case, Duke Xing, just send him to the government office! It should be easy to investigate the matter that the maid pretended to be her master and met him secretly!” Rui’an Great Elder Princess looked up at Duke Xing and said coldly.

She couldn’t get her granddaughter involved in this disgraceful thing, so she had to let it go.

It was not difficult to deal with Wang Shengxue and a maid, but she was afraid to get her granddaughter involved in it. Now it would be the best solution if she could make her granddaughter stay out of it.

“Great Elder Princess, it’s, it’s no big deal. Shengxue is just easy in his morals. Since they have an affair, I think the maid could be his concubine. Regarding the second Miss of Ning’s Mansion, she could be a concubine as well!” Duke Xing sighed and helplessly begged Rui’an Great Elder Princess.
