At this moment, a servant next to Zhuang Shiyang suddenly rushed in and shouted: "Master, something happened!"
On the second floor of Wangjiang Tower, each customer is half-covered with a glazed screen to facilitate the movement of familiar ladies. At this moment, the boy exclaimed, and everyone else in the hall looked towards Zhuang Shiyang.
Zhuang Shiyang glared at the boy angrily and said in a deep voice, "Why are you so flustered?"
The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and then stammered: "Second...Second Miss's carriage is back!"
Han Yan and Zhuang Yushan rode in two carriages. Now Zhuang Yushan's carriage came back, but Han Yan's carriage was not mentioned. Zhuang Hanming's hand trembled, and he immediately stood up and grabbed the boy's collar: "Where is my sister's carriage?"
"Zhuang Hanming!" Zhuang Shiyang disliked him for being so impulsive, especially in front of his father, who was simply disrespectful.
Only the Zhou family was ecstatic, but her expression was extremely worried: "What happened?" Her tone was anxious and uneasy, a little louder. The other nobles in the hall looked at them without blinking, and some The one who was gloating about his misfortune looked like he was watching a good show.
Before the boy could reply, Ji Lan and Shu Hong stumbled in, their eyes red, as if they had just cried bitterly. Seeing Zhuang Shiyang, the two of them knelt down with a plop and cried loudly: "It's all my fault. I didn't protect the young lady, so the young lady... was kidnapped by the thieves!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was in an uproar. If a daughter who has not yet left the palace is kidnapped by a thief, she will lose her innocence! Immediately, the look he looked at Zhuang Shiyang was somewhat different.
Zhuang Qin looked at them, his expression moved slightly, and finally returned to indifference. His pale face had no expression at all, like a lifeless puppet. Aunt Mei was a little stunned. Han Yan and Zhuang Yu went up the mountain to pray for blessings. How could something happen
Zhuang Shiyang's face was extremely ugly. Others thought he loved his daughter very much. Now that something happened to his daughter, he was naturally heartbroken. Only Zhuang Shiyang knew that this was not the case. He was really worried before, but he was relieved when he heard that Zhuang Yushan was safe and sound. Now he was just angry that Han Yan didn't pay attention to him, causing him to lose face in front of so many noble people in the capital, and he didn't know what would happen in the capital tomorrow. Words come.
I am not worried about my daughter at all!
When Ji Lan and Shu Hong saw Zhuang Shiyang's faint impatience towards them, their hearts froze. How cold-blooded it was to have such a father!
Zhou was overjoyed to see that things were developing according to her plan. She thought that Han Yan would become the laughing stock of the capital from tomorrow on, and would never be able to hold her head up again, becoming an innocent woman in the eyes of outsiders. I was very happy in my heart. However, Zhou was a little suspicious, why didn't he see those guards? She looked sad and said bleakly: "How could this happen to such a smart person like Fourth Miss?" Two lines of clear tears slid down the hibiscus powder, and it was a beautiful woman shedding tears, so graceful. The rest of the people in the hall sighed and sighed when they saw her. This aunt is really kind to her daughter who is not her biological daughter. At the last palace banquet, someone said that Zhuang Shiyang Xina's concubine was always against her legitimate daughter. Now it seems that she is all intentional. Provocation from someone else.
Aunt Mei was sarcastic in her heart and was about to stab her a few times when she heard a clear and familiar voice reach her ears: "Aunt Mei is worried and Han Yan is ashamed. But Aunt Mei made a mistake. It was not Han Yan who was kidnapped by the thieves. Sister Yushan.”
When Zhou heard this voice, she suddenly looked up in disbelief, only to see Han Yan wearing a light green leather coat, with two long braids hanging smoothly on her chest, standing tall and graceful, gentle and charming. Standing in front of him calmly.
"No... this is impossible..." Zhou took two steps back. Han Yan couldn't be here, it must be his own imagination. Looking up, Han Yan's eyes were red and watery, and his expression was very sad, but the faint smile on his lips clearly had the word "sarcasm" written on it.
Impossible, this is impossible. If Han Yan is here, then where is Yu'er? Why don't you say anything? What did Han Yan just say? The one who said he was kidnapped was Yu'er? what does that mean
Seeing Mr. Zhou in a daze, looking straight at Han Yan mumbling something, the dignitaries around him were a little strange, and Zhuang Shiyang was also very confused. Only Aunt Mei showed a clear smile. Zhou thought that the person who was kidnapped was Han Yan. She was acting coyly just now, but she didn't expect that the person who was kidnapped was Zhuang Yushan. Now she looks good. She cursed fiercely in her heart: Bitch, you deserve it!
Mrs. Zhou was about to question, but she saw a maid stumbling in from outside. She took a closer look and saw that it was Yun'er, the personal maid next to Yushan. Yun'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying: "Aunt, Miss Being kidnapped, I have just reported myself to the official, my aunt... "
Zhou shook her body and felt dizzy. She turned around as if she had a sudden realization and looked at Han Yan, who was bowing her head and saying nothing, and said ferociously: "It's you! It's you who harmed Yu'er! It must be you, you framed me..."
Zhuang Hanming was the first to react. He stood up to protect Han Yan behind him and said in a cold voice: "Auntie, it's best not to slander my sister for no reason. What kind of frame-up? Didn't you hear what the maids just said? Your daughter was kidnapped by bandits. Let’s go!”
There was a "pop", but it was Zhou who slapped Zhuang Hanming on the face: "You are in the same group, but you are just an unpopular bastard. What is there to be proud of? You have no right to speak in the Zhuang Mansion!"
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
Originally, it was just a case of bandits kidnapping our young lady. Unexpectedly, the aunt in the house suddenly pointed out that the legitimate daughter was the framer. Now the aunt even slapped the legitimate son in the face and said that she was a bastard. The people in the hall were all watching a show at the moment. The scandals of these wealthy families were what they wanted to hear most.
When Zhuang Shiyang saw Zhou slapped Zhuang Hanming, he did not blame him. Instead, he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhuang Hanming's questioning of Zhou. Aunt Mei couldn't help but look surprised. She had been in the house for so many years, and although she didn't take Zhuang Hanming seriously, she would not dare to beat her legitimate son even if she had a hundred courages. This was the following crime.
Zhuang Hanming bit his lip and said nothing, but looked at Mr. Zhou's eyes that became more and more gloomy. Standing behind Zhuang Hanming, Han Yan felt the determination of the small body in front of him to protect himself, and couldn't explain what he felt in his heart.
His eyes scanned around the people in the hall, taking in all their expressions. She gently pushed Han Ming away in front of her, looked directly at Mrs. Zhou, and spoke slowly: "Auntie thinks that Han Yan framed my sister. Please provide evidence. You can't be lenient in the government for destroying someone's reputation for no reason." of."
Han Yan remained expressionless and continued: "My aunt thinks Sister Yushan was framed by Han Yan. May I ask who asked Han Yan to go up the mountain with Sister Yushan yesterday?" After a pause: "It was my aunt. My aunt thinks Han Yan She has the ability to predict the future. If she had known that Auntie would have asked Han Yan to go to the mountain temple with Sister Yushan and arrange for bandits to kidnap Sister Yushan?" She lowered her head, seeming to be a bit sarcastic: "Han Yan is the daughter of a boudoir. Without leaving the house, I really don’t know how to make the murderous bandits obey my orders. Haha, I don’t have such a perceptive mind as my aunt. She can conclude that this is an incident without even hearing what happened. A frame-up."
