The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 214 Selling face

Upon hearing Madam Qin's words, Zou Qinyi was overjoyed and kowtowed with tears in her eyes, saying, "Madam, you are so magnanimous. I admire you greatly."

“However…” Old Madam Qin’s voice rang out softly.

“Since it was your maid who did something wrong, she should naturally be punished. Otherwise, how can my General’s Mansion explain this to Miss Murong and Miss Pu?”

Zou Qinyi wiped away her tears and quickly said, "Yes, I understand."

After saying that, he stood up and apologized to Pu Yanran, "Miss Pu, it was all my fault today. The maid was careless and almost tarnished my sister's reputation. I apologize to you here."

Pu Yanran was angry, but she also knew that with so many people present, she couldn't act tough.

“If Miss Pu is willing to forgive me, I will go back and punish Chun Tan properly to give Miss Pu an explanation.”

Jing Anle slowly sipped her tea, coldly observing everything. Suddenly, her gaze swept towards Zhao Yayi, who sat upright with an expressionless expression. For a moment, a sense of curiosity arose in her heart.

"Willing to risk everything, even to bring down the emperor," Zou Qinyi thought, seeing that Pu Yanran remained unmoved. She was about to kneel down when Pu Yanran finally relented, saying, "Alright, alright. Although my innocence has been cleared, Miss Murong has truly suffered harm."

Pu Yanran was angry, so she turned her attention to Murong Ruoyan's injury. Pu Yanran had been forced by her father to attend this gathering, and as long as she didn't offend the princess, she didn't care about being the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion.

“Even if your maid is confused, and the messenger is confused, something has been added to this perfume. I wonder how Miss Zou will explain this?” Pu Yanran continued.

Zou Qinyi didn't expect Pu Yanran to keep bringing up this matter. Tears streamed down her face again, her brows furrowed, and she said in a sobbing voice, "I...I really didn't know. This box of perfume was brand new when I brought it from home. I've never used it."

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Old Madam Qin's face turned green and then pale. Jing Anle's heart skipped a beat. She thought that this storm would pass, but she did not expect that Pu Yanran was so difficult to deal with. So Jing Anle cleared her throat and said, "Enough."

The two words, neither too loud nor too soft, immediately silenced the two people, and the hall fell into complete silence.

Jing Anle is beautiful, but her cool and aloof eyes when she's not smiling give her a sense of distance. Coupled with the princess-like dress she's wearing today, with its tasseled crown, she exudes an even more dignified aura.

"Today is my maternal grandmother's seventieth birthday. I would like to ask you all to give me some face and put today's matter aside for the time being. I will definitely investigate the truth and restore the facts to you all, as well as clear the names of Miss Murong, Miss Zou, and Miss Pu."

Throughout the Jing Kingdom, who wouldn't give this legitimate princess face? Zou Qinyi and Pu Yanran quickly bowed and said in unison, "Your subject is terrified."

Jing Anle ignored them and turned to Old Madam Qin, saying, "Grandmother, you've been sitting for so long, you must be tired. There are quite a few guests outside, so why don't I accompany you for a walk?"

In just one morning, after watching several plays, Old Madam Qin's expression had changed several times. If it were her hot temper from when she was young, she would have already stormed out eight hundred times over. Now that she's older, she's become much more composed.

Madam Qin's expression softened considerably upon seeing Jing Anle. As expected of her granddaughter, she was indeed a blood relative, both intelligent and considerate. She nodded and said, "That's fine, but I'll have to trouble the princess."

As she spoke, she stood up, and Jing Anle and Qin Zhihua escorted Old Madam Qin outside, leaving the group of noble ladies looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zou Qinyi was filled with unease. How did this matter escalate so much? What if the princess personally intervened and the truth came out?

Pu Yanran was in no better shape. Although she was wronged, judging from Jing Anle's tone just now, if she really offended the princess, wouldn't she be punished by her father when she got home?

For a moment, both of them looked worried.
