Chapter 14: What Happened Last Night (2)
Chu Qing paused for a moment, then said, "Oh right, I also found out that Mudan Pavilion was indeed reserved by Prince Ling yesterday, but Prince Ling did not go there."
Listening to Chu Qing’s report, Han Jing was also thinking about what happened last night.
Perhaps because it happened fairly recently, she still had some vague impressions. It seemed like she received a letter, in which Su Xingyan invited her to Mudan Pavilion in Baihua Garden, saying he would wait for her there.
And previously, Han Jing was indeed quite infatuated with Su Xingyan. When Su Xingyan took the initiative to invite her, she wouldn’t think too much and went to Mudan Pavilion. Then a maid told her to wait for a while, saying that Prince Ling would arrive soon, and even poured her a glass of fruit wine. After Han Jing drank the fruit wine, she remembered nothing.
It wasn’t until she woke up in the morning, feeling sore all over, with bruises everywhere on her body and a spot of fresh red on the sheets. Han Jing somewhat understood what had happened. She was a bit flustered, but thinking that the person who had invited her was Prince Ling, her beloved, her heart was still very excited. So she left Mudan Pavilion and went straight to Prince Ling Mansion. Who would have thought that she would be stopped by Han Yuxiao before even entering, who subtly implied that Prince Ling hadn’t gone to Baihua Garden at all last night, let alone entered Mudan Pavilion. Naturally, Han Jing didn’t believe it and became a bit agitated, and somehow, by the water’s edge, she fell into the water.
Now Han Jing connected these vague memories with what Chu Qing had just found out and roughly understood what had happened.
Han Jing first asked Dongbao: "Where did you go last night?"
Speaking of this, Dongbao felt extremely ashamed and immediately knelt down: "Miss, punish me. It was because I didn’t think it through last night. Second Miss said you went to West Mountain to look for the Eldest Princess. I thought you were angry because Prince Ling didn’t pay attention to you the day before, so you went to West Mountain. It wasn’t until I searched for most of the night that I felt something was wrong. After returning, you were not at the mansion, and that’s when I found out you went to Prince Ling Mansion..."
Yesterday’s events were indeed due to her carelessness.
Han Jing pressed her forehead, "Get up first, I roughly know what happened."
If her guess was correct, it was probably Han Yuxiao collaborating with Han Yan. Han Yuxiao first found a way to have Su Xingyan reserve the courtyard of Mudan Pavilion in Baihua Garden, then had her brother bring Su Xingyan back to Han Mansion and keep him there. She then took people to Mudan Pavilion in advance, left them there, and left. She mimicked Su Xingyan’s handwriting to write a letter to her. Han Jing never second-guessed matters concerning Su Xingyan, so she fell into her trap and went to Mudan Pavilion. At this time, Han Yan used a trick to send Dongbao away. Because Han Jing had a peculiar temper, going out of the city in the middle of the night wasn’t something she couldn’t do. Dongbao, worrying about her, naturally wouldn’t doubt it. Moreover, being around the Eldest Princess and Han Jing for so long, Dongbao naturally assumed that Han Yan didn’t have the guts to lie.
And after Han Jing was tricked into Mudan Pavilion, she was drugged, and then...
When Han Jing woke up, she naturally thought she had been with Prince Ling. At this moment, Han Yuxiao provoked her with words, seizing the opportunity to push Han Jing into the water!
Han Jing furrowed her brows tightly, realizing that Han Yuxiao and Han Yan not only wanted to ruin her purity but were also planning to take her life!
