Chapter 1216: [TangNing] Exposing the truth
Ning Jing’s words were a clear insult!
“Ning Jing, clean out that mouth!” Fifth Elder roared.
“Are you rebelling?” Tang Li was even more furious. “Who allowed you to call the sect leader’s wife by name?!” He could tell that the elders didn’t place him or Ning Jing in their sights at all.
“Clan head, the madame is slandering others!” Fifth Elder explained indignantly.
On the sidelines, Lady Xiao had burst into tears. “My daughter, ah! Why must you cheapen yourself like this! Look at how they’re bullying you! Come, mother will jump off the mountain with your together! Forget about living, let’s die!”
Xiao Lan was weeping too, but her tears were aimed at Tang Li. “Clan head, you and me...you don’t have to admit it, but you can’t allow the madame to insult me like this! I, Xiao Lan, have only had you as my man in my lifetime! You and no one else!”
When Tang LI couldn’t take it anymore, he shifted his attention to Ning Jing, his complexion ghastly. But NIng Jing suddenly stalked towards Xiao Lan and slapped her in the face. “Say another word and see if I don’t tear your mouth out! I’m telling you now, Tang Li has no relation with you at all! You’re absolutely disgusting!”
Heaven knows how much strength was in her slap, but Xiao Lan’s face began to swell.
“I’ll get you for that!” Xiao Lan shrieked as she raised her arm, but Tang Li caught it and dragged herself.
“Enough!” he said sternly.
Xiao Lan fell to the ground and began to sob.
“This is...absolute madness! Insensible!” Fifth Elder began to point fingers in his fury.
“Ning Jing, this is already the truth. Even if you don’t want Tang Li to take a concubine, you can’t insult the other party!” Tang Zijn scolded.
“I’m not insulting her!” Ning Jing’s tone was decisive. Although it wasn’t appropriate to say her next words in public, especially in front of men like Tang Zijin and Fifth Elder, she couldn’t be bothered with niceties at this point.
She said, “Tang Li likes to bite people, but he’d never leave such faint marks! They’ll stay fresh for five to six days! Moreover, a grown man’s teeth marks wouldn’t be so small!”
The crowd fell silent at her words. Even Lady Xiao stopped crying as she looked at Ning Jing with a flustered expression. After all, she was the one who helped leave those bite marks on her daughter’s neck! Nobody expected Ning Jing to notice such a problem! Most people would be too embarrassed to even bring them up!
Tang Li was taken aback as well. Of course he knew his own kinks, but even he hadn’t stared as intently at Ning Jing for the marks on Xiao Lan’s skin.
“Mother, Lady Xiao, come over here. I’ll let you see what the true bite marks look like,” Ning Jing said before entering the rooms.
Lady Tang strode forward, but Lady Xiao hesitated until she noticed Xiao Lan walking in too, giving her no choice but to hurry in.
Inside, Ning Jing loosened her robes and tugged aside the collar. Against her fair skin were the bite marks left from last night. One was on her arm, another on her collarbone. They were extremely deep with clear teeth marks, almost as if they drew blood. Why was Ning Jing so certain that nothing had happened between Tang Li and Xiao Lan? Because of Xiao Lan’s bite marks.
She knew Tang Li all too well. She was certain those bite marks were fakes!
If something had happened between the pair, why would she make up false marks to begin with?
Of course, she could have exposed all this ages ago, but she held back on purpose. She raised the issue of inspecting Xiao Lan’s body as part of her bet! If Xiao Lan didn’t dare, it would prove she felt guilty. But if she did, then it proved the girl wasn’t a virgin to begin with. She would both gain a reason to reject her as Tang Li’s concubine and make her pay with her own reputation!
Ning Jing was a businesswoman. She never made losing deals, only ones with double profits!
As expected, Xiao Lan got ahead of herself and exposed her impure body.
--
Lady Tang’s face was flushed red as she studied the bite marks on Ning Jing’s body. She couldn’t begin to imagine how her rascal of a son had tormented the woman last night. No wonder he’d claim he had “no time” to deal with her. Lady Xiao was already conscience-stricken, but seeing the true bite marks left her completely at a loss for what to say. As for Xiao Lan, she remained standing at a distance. She didn’t even know why she followed them in as well. To her, Ning Jing’s “scars” were a provoking sight. Her eyes ached at them, far more than the heat radiating off her flushing face!
She couldn’t accept it!
Tang Li had been drugged and she’d tossed all dignity out the window to come onto him, but he still pushed her away. Yet to Ning Jing, he…
Xiao Lan was not only unresigned, but crazily jealous!
--
Lady Tang helped Ning Jing straighten out her clothes before walking towards Xiao Lan. Her gaze was cold and severe as she spoke. “Do you want to admit it yourself? Or would you like me to study those bite marks carefully again?”
When Lady Tang turned serious, her aura was quite intimidating. Xiao Lan grew fearful and subconsciously backed away.
