On one hand, she wanted Han Yan to help her, on the other hand, she wanted to ruin Han Yan’s reputation. Such a heart, how could it not be considered malicious!
Su Xingyan briefly explained to Han Dong and Han Yuxiao, only saying that everything last night was Han Jing’s poisonous plan. Sure enough, Han Yuxiao immediately believed it.
As she turned to leave, Han Dong apologized to Su Xingyan and hurriedly followed her out.
"Don’t stop me. This time, I must make sure Han Jing is utterly disgraced!" At the carriage, Han Yuxiao directly ordered someone to go to the Princess Mansion, but Han Dong stopped her.
"Enough! Xiao’er, I’ve indulged your mischief, but do you think the Princess Mansion is a place you can just visit?" Han Dong, without allowing for objections, pulled Han Yuxiao onto the carriage, but as he instructed the driver to go back, he glimpsed groups of people outside, occasionally glancing toward their carriage, talking about something unknown.
He instinctively felt something was off, but for now, the most important thing was to get Xiao’er back, to prevent her from causing more trouble!
At this moment, Han Jing had already instructed Bo He to spread the news that Han Yuxiao broke into Su Xingyan’s room and found Su Xingyan and Han Yan sleeping together.
Quite a few people saw the Han siblings enter Prince Ling Mansion early in the morning, and there were maids in Prince Ling Mansion who saw with their own eyes how Han Yuxiao barged in and what she saw, and so on, spreading the rumors vividly, but within an hour, they had spread throughout the entire city.
However, the content of the rumors was that the second Miss of the Han Family was jealous of her sister and climbed into her future brother-in-law’s bed. Prince Ling went along with it, wanting to enjoy a harem of beauties, yet was caught by the Han Family’s Miss, who secretly loved Prince Ling, turning good sisters into adversaries over love.
Having watched the drama and returned to Baihua Garden’s Liuxian Pavilion, Yun Feng was now laughing uncontrollably.
"This battle was truly beautifully fought! Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Han Yan and Han Yuxiao thought they’d play a trick, but ended up failing miserably. Now, they’re thoroughly famous. You know, this version is far more dramatic and attention-grabbing than the previous one where Miss Han was smeared!" Yun Feng could hardly believe that Han Jing was busy all night orchestrating such a scene—throwing her sister into her fiancé’s bed and then letting everyone know the sister-in-law was seducing the brother-in-law.
Now, there’s truly a big joke, and Su Xingyan’s reputation is going to be utterly ruined for eight generations!
"Hey? But, Yun Peng, don’t you find something odd here? I remember, wasn’t Jing quite fond of Su Xingyan? I heard she fervently sought the Eldest Princess to beseech the Emperor for a decree of marriage. Yet now this, she doesn’t seem to have her heart set on Su Xingyan!" Though Yun Feng usually occupied himself with various things, he still kept up with some gossip in the Capital City, but now Han Jing’s behavior seems quite off!
Su Yu didn’t answer him, because he also wasn’t clear on why Han Jing would undergo such a transformation. What Han Jing did was clearly preparing for a cancellation of the engagement. The girl was clever, doubling the dirty water thrown on her by returning it in kind, using the other’s tactics against them, and even if it came to breaking off the engagement, it would have to be the other’s fault!
This was rather interesting! Why hadn’t he noticed before that she had such cunning!
But come to think of it, he hadn’t paid attention to her before either, it seems one shouldn’t easily trust rumors after all!
