Chapter 1228 - 1228: Discovered
After Jiang Zhennan gave the order to leave, Yuwen Ling immediately became anxious.
Why?
That was because Jiang Zhennan had not shown any signs of acting up!
She had clearly drugged him, and it was also very clear that Jiang Zhennan had drunk the wine.
Yuwen Ling forced a smile and replied,” General, since we are friends, why don’t we have a meal together? Why do we have to care so much about the opinions of the outside world?”
Jiang Zhennan said bluntly,” What the outside world thinks of me has nothing to do with me! However, my fiancée has already said that I must not be within three feet of another woman, let alone have a meal with another woman!
Therefore, what I mind is the opinion of my fiancée! Butler, send the guests out!”
Hearing Jiang Zhennan’s words, Yuwen Ling’s face turned green and white. She was ashamed and angry, but she was even more jealous.
The butler immediately stepped forward and said,” Ninth Princess, please!”
Yu Wenling did not seem to hear the butler’s words at all. Her small face was filled with grievance, unwillingness, and shame as she stared at Jiang Zhennan, trying to make Jiang Zhennan soften his heart and cherish the beauty.
Seeing that Yuwen Ling was indifferent, the butler said politely again,” Ninth Princess, please!”
After an unknown period of time, Yu Wenling stood up from the stool with a whoosh. She looked at Jiang Zhennan in disbelief and muttered to herself,”
How is this possible? How could there be no reaction at all? It shouldn’t be.”
Although she only muttered to herself a few times, the atmosphere was so quiet that everyone present could hear her clearly!
Not to mention Jiang Zhennan’s subordinates, even her own subordinates, did not understand what the princess meant.
At this moment, Jiang Zhennan’s cold voice sounded in everyone’s ears.
He said,” Princess, are you referring to the matter of drugging the wine glass? Then, he put down the wine glass in his hand heavily and said coldly and mockingly,” I’m sorry, but that won’t be happening.”
As he spoke, Jiang Zhennan went straight to the living room and then to the back garden!
Drugged?
Hearing Jiang Zhennan’s words, everyone stared at Yuwen Ling with their eyes wide open. They felt that it was especially unbelievable.
Jiang Zhennan said that the Ninth Princess drugged him, but how did she do it in public?
Yuwen Lings originally ugly face suddenly turned pale!
She had never expected that something that she thought she had done flawlessly and covertly would be exposed by Jiang Zhennan with a single sentence!
What was going on?
How did Jiang Zhennan find out?
“Ninth Princess, please!” The butler spoke to the dazed princess again.
However, this time, it was clearly filled with anger!
He was wondering why the Ninth Princess had suddenly become so generous and understanding.
So she had already drugged their Great General?
Although they didn’t know what kind of drug she had used, since she had already been discovered by the general, it meant that the general was fine. However, it didn’t mean that they weren’t angry.
When Yuwen Ling came back to her senses, she saw Jiang Zhennan’s back as he left. She immediately shouted in panic,” Jiang Zhennan, stop right there!”
As she said that, she ran straight in Jiang Zhennan’s direction!
The butler’s face darkened.
Ninth Princess was really thick-skinned. Her General had already exposed her drugging, yet she still refused to let go of the General. How unworthy was she?
Yuwen Ling didn’t care what the butler or the others thought. She had to ask the questions in her heart clearly!
Jiang Zhennan’s footsteps did not change. Yuwen Ling quickly ran up and opened her arms to block Jiang Zhennan. She asked anxiously, “How did you find out that I drugged you? Also, this princess clearly saw that you drank that cup of wine, so why didn’t you react or faint?”
Jiang Zhennan’s sharp eyes looked at Yu Wenling coldly, and he snorted.” Hmph, petty tricks!”
Yuwen Ling was stunned and confused. “What?” What did he mean by that?
However, Jiang Zhennan ignored her and walked away from her!
When Yuwen Ling wanted to stop Jiang Zhennan again, the butler rushed in front of her. He said politely and forcefully,” Ninth Princess, it’s getting late. Please go back!”
Yuwen Ling’s eyes glared fiercely at the departing figure. His expression was filled with unwillingness and humiliation!
In the end, she stomped her feet and left the General’s Estate with everyone.
This time, her plan had completely failed!
However, she knew very well that Jiang Zhennan was already on guard against her. Her chances of success next time were very small.
However, when she returned to the palace, her mind was blank. She stared at her fingernails and was in a daze for a long time. There were two questions lingering in her mind: How did Jiang Zhennan find out that she drugged him?
Also, Jiang Zhennan clearly drank the drugged wine, so why didn’t he have any reaction?
“Sister Xiao Tao, why are you sleeping here?” In a corner, someone noticed Xiao Tao and immediately woke her up. Then, the person asked in puzzlement,” Strange, you came back from the General’s Estate with us. Sister Xiao Tao, how did you wander here and fall asleep so quickly?” The first sentence was spoken to herself, and the second sentence was obviously directed at Xiao Tao.
However, when Xiao Tao heard the palace maid’s words, she was immediately shocked. She asked in disbelief,” What did you say? You said we came back from the General’s Estate together? When?”
When the palace maid Xiao Bi heard Xiao Tao’s words, she widened her eyes in confusion and asked,” Sister Xiao Tao, what’s wrong with you? Have you forgotten that we just returned from General Manor? Oh, right, the princess was in a bad mood ever since she returned from the General’s Estate. She looked a little stunned. Otherwise, some of us would be dead already.”
Listening to Xiao Bi’s words, Xiao Tao felt a sense of panic in her heart. This panic seemed to foretell a disaster, extinguishing all her breathing.
She asked Xiao Bi nervously,” Xiao Bi, tell me everything that happened in the General’s Estate!”
Xiao Bi was very surprised by Xiao Tao’s reaction, but she still obediently told Xiao Tao everything that happened in the General’s residence.
‘ Princess,” Xiao Tao hurriedly ran back to the Rain Spirit Palace,” I heard that you drugged the General. What kind of medicine did you use, and how did you use it?”
Yuwen Ling was still staring at her nails in a daze. She seemed to be mumbling to herself in confusion, but at the same time, she seemed to be answering Xiao Tao’s words.” She clearly said that no one would find out if I put the medicine under my nails!”
Xiao Tao was shocked.
“General, how did the Ninth Princess drug you?” The butler asked curiously.
He clearly saw that Yuwen Ling did not do anything, so how did she drug him in public?
Jiang Zhennan said,” When she poured the wine, she flicked the medicine hidden under her fingernails into the wine!”
The butler replied,” Ah?”
