The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 339 Zheng Yaner Fainted

Dong Kaijian followed all the way here, and now he quickly walked to the side of the carriage and begged Qin:

"Madam Qin, I have already paid the money and knelt down. I beg you to show mercy and let my wife go!"

After listening to Dong Kaijian's plea for a long time, Qin slowly got off the carriage and came in front of Zheng Yan'er.

"Do you realize your mistake now?"

Zheng Yan'er glanced at Qin, and pinched her palms hard under the cover of her sleeves with her hanging hands, and the blood that came out dyed the cuffs red.

She slowly lowered her head, her voice dry and hoarse.

"I know I was wrong."

Qin did not fail to see the hatred and unwillingness in Zheng Yan'er's eyes when she lowered her head, but in her opinion, these were not worth mentioning at all and there was no need to care about them at all.

It was as if she didn't care whether Zheng Yan'er had done something wrong to the extent of being punished. She only knew that she had been offended and made her feel that the Marquis' Mansion was despised, so she could teach Zheng Yan'er a lesson as she pleased.

Perhaps in this process, there was also some of her recent unhappiness in the Marquis' Mansion because of Liu Yuan's management of the family finances, but Qin was too lazy to distinguish.

"Since you know you're wrong, remember to be careful with your words and actions in the future, and don't resort to any underhanded tricks. This time, I may be merciful and give you a light punishment, but if you dare to do it again..." Qin sneered, so she didn't finish the rest of her words, but the meaning was obvious.

After saying this, Qin glanced at Zheng Yan'er sarcastically before allowing her to leave.

With the help of Dong Kaijian, Zheng Yan'er turned around and retraced her steps along the way she came.

Although the onlookers did not know what exactly happened, because of Qin's words just now, they subconsciously thought that Zheng Yan'er had done something insidious and immoral and was caught, and they looked at Zheng Yan'er and pointed fingers.

Feeling everyone's gazes on her, Zheng Yan'er seemed to have tiny goose bumps all over her skin, and the shame and unwillingness in her heart were overwhelming.

She seemed to hear a lot of laughter, and the inaudible whispers and discussions were infinitely amplified in her ears, giving her a severe headache. She could only reach out and cover her ears tightly to block out the sounds, but it was no use.

The sound in her ears became louder and louder. Zheng Yan'er was shaking all over. The next moment, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Yan'er! Yan'er!" Dong Kaijian was shocked and hurriedly supported the person. Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, he picked her up and went straight to the clinic.

On the sixth floor of Zhanxing Tower, Jiang Suining stood by the railing and watched the scene from afar.

Although when Jiang Suining saw Zheng Yan'er and Qin appear at the same time outside Zhanxing Tower, he had already thought about it and could use Qin to teach Zheng Yan'er a lesson again.

Including the sentence "as long as the secret recipe is not leaked", when she said it, she had already anticipated what would happen next. She guessed that Zheng Yan'er would most likely choose to fight to the death and make the wine recipe known to everyone.

But at this moment, although everything was as she had expected, Jiang Suining did not feel much joy or happiness in her heart.

She took advantage of Qin's contempt for Zheng Yan'er, but to some extent, she and the Dong family were actually in the same situation. Although the limitations brought by the merchant status were broadened because of what she did, they did not disappear...

"Miss."

Xier walked behind Jiang Suining and handed a letter to him.

"Yuanliang just came and asked me to give you this letter, saying that Lord Shen is temporarily unable to get away, and everything he wants to tell you is in this letter."

Jiang Suining took the letter, saw that the sealing wax was intact, and opened it to read it carefully.

Previously, the case of the palace collapse was mainly handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial, but after learning that Chu Yishen might be involved in the Chengjiao case, Pei Zhaozhi tried his best to make it work, and finally with the help of Shen Yanxi, he successfully transferred the case to the Dali Temple.

Pei Zhaozhi had set up defenses in advance and indeed caught Qin Feishang, who had sneaked into the cell during the jailer's shift change and wanted to kill Chu Yishen and then fake it as suicide.

Now, Chu Yishen has been transferred to the Dali Temple's cell, and Qin Feishen has also been arrested and imprisoned. However, he has kept his mouth shut and has not yet confessed whether he was instructed by the third prince. He just insisted that he disliked Chu Yishen and could not stand corrupt officials like him who cut corners, so he killed him.

The Dali Temple naturally does not believe this statement. Pei Zhaozhi will continue to find ways to get to the bottom of the matter, including Chu Yishen’s previous actions.

Shen Yanxi and Pei Zhaozhi had studied the jade pendant together, but they didn't find anything. Just in case, it remained in Shen Yanxi's hands for the time being and there was no way forward.

Shen Yanxi has been very busy with official duties these days and was unable to spare time. The reason he wrote this letter was that he thought Jiang Suining might be thinking about the outcome of this matter.

He also told her that there were some urgent government affairs to deal with and he might have to leave the palace at night. He asked Jiang Suining not to wait at the palace gate when she was free and that he would come to find her as soon as he finished the government affairs at hand.

After reading the letter, Jiang Suining asked Xier to get a fire starter and burn the envelope and the letter together.

"Miss..." Xier looked at Jiang Suining in confusion. Isn't this the letter written by Lord Shen? Why did Miss burn it?

Jiang Suining didn't say much, but just said to Xier: "Don't mention the letter you received today to others."

Although Shen Yanxi is now in the emperor's favor, he has close ties with the officials of the Dali Temple, and his secret actions cannot be leaked.

Especially since this matter involves the third prince, if someone gets hold of the evidence, trouble is bound to arise.

Seeing that her young lady didn't want to say more, Xier didn't continue to ask, but nodded seriously in response.

"Yes, Miss, I understand. I will never mention it to anyone else."

On the streets in the west of the city, the onlookers had dispersed, and pedestrians were coming and going, returning to normal as if nothing had happened.

As for Zheng Yan'er, she woke up halfway on the way to the clinic. She looked quite dazed and only said that she wanted to go back to the Dong family.

Dong Kaijian was worried and tried to persuade her to take her to the clinic, but Zheng Yan'er firmly stated that she didn't want to go anywhere or see anyone.

In desperation, Dong Kaijian had to take the person back.

After returning to the Dong family, Zheng Yan'er went straight back to her room, closed the door tightly, and did not allow anyone to enter. It was not until the next morning that she drank some porridge, then went back to bed and continued to lie there, not saying a word the whole day.

She lay there like this for six or seven days. Dong Kaijian was extremely anxious, worried that Zheng Yan'er would develop some problems. But no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it was of no use. In the end, he had no choice but to go to the Jiang family with a thick face.

When Dong Kaijian arrived, Jiang Suining was just about to go out, and Zheng was just at the door seeing her and Jiang Mushi off.

After learning the purpose of Dong Kaijian's visit, Zheng frowned instantly.
