Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 96 The Truth
"You are so brave, you dare to steal the princess's hairpin!" The princess and her servant girl had just walked in front of Jingning, when her servant girl began to reprimand her loudly.

Jing Ning sneered inwardly, so she was waiting for her here.But there was still an aggrieved look on the face, "Princess, how could I know your hairpin! I'm afraid your maid has mistaken her."

As soon as the servant girl heard this, she retorted, "Admit the wrong person? It was obvious that you bumped into the princess just now, and then the princess lost her hairpin. No one else is half a step closer to the princess! I think you just want to deny it!"

"No, it's just that I didn't steal the princess's hairpin, but you, as the princess's servant girl, insisted on accusing me of stealing the princess's hairpin. It's really puzzling." Jing Ning said flatly.

"Okay, since you said that no one saw you stealing the hairpin, how can you prove that you didn't steal it?"

When Jing Ning heard this, she knew that there was no way to make peace today. She said calmly, "First, no one has seen me take that hairpin. What you said is only slander. Second, I am the daughter of the prime minister's mansion. There is no need to steal for a small hairpin!"

The princess frowned when she heard this, her eyes were filled with disgust, and her maid continued to say, "What do you know! It was a gift from the emperor on the princess's birthday. Of course you, a small prime minister's mansion, have never seen it before." !"

"Shut up, don't be unreasonable!" The princess scolded her servant girl when she heard her words becoming more and more ignorant.Although she hated the woman in front of her, it didn't mean she was going to offend a prime minister's mansion.

The maid heard the princess' reprimand, and immediately said nothing.

Princess Pingting spoke at this time, "Princess, since the only lady from the prime minister's mansion was the only one when you threw the hairpin, but she said she didn't steal it, it's really contradictory."

She looked up at the princess's face, then at Jingning and continued speaking. "Since this is the case, why not let the princess's maid check Jingning on you. If there is, the princess's hairpin has also been found. If not, Jingning, you can also prove your innocence."

Heh... It's nice to say, it sounds like a way to get the best of both worlds. To put it bluntly, it's just a body search!If there is, then her reputation for stealing hairpins will be established; if not, then the humiliation she has suffered today will also become the laughing stock of others.What a wishful thinking!
But she, Jing Ning, did not let her wish!

"Princess Pingting! What do you mean? This is not to search me!" Jing Ning coldly glanced at the maid who was going to search her.

"Presumptuous! You are just a maid. Even if this girl is not as good as the princess, she is still the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion. You, a maid, can't offend you." The little maid obviously didn't expect Jing Ning, who had been patient all the time, to say such a thing, and she was a little bit Undecided, he looked back at the princess.

The princess finally spoke up, "Jing Ning, right! This princess now suspects that you stole my hairpin, just to search you. Do you have any objections?"

When Jing Ning heard this, he blessed his body, and said respectfully, "My daughter has no reason not to listen to what the princess says, but if the hairpin is really not on me, could it be that the princess is also shameless?"

Princess Pingting saw the princess's hesitant face, and immediately became anxious: "Jingning, why don't you dare to let the princess search you? Could it be that you took the hairpin! That's why you dare not."

"Princess Pingting, we haven't finished our business from last time. Today I said that you came to me to apologize with such good intentions. It turned out that you were looking for an opportunity to slander me!" When Jing Ning saw that Pingting was anxious to search her body, she said: Knowing that the hairpin is undoubtedly on her body.I don't know when she put it in, could it be just... when she invited her to enjoy the flowers?
She definitely can't let them search now, so she can only delay the time as much as possible.

"Jing Ning, today I really know my mistake and want to turn hostility into friendship with you. I didn't expect you to steal the princess's hairpin and still come to question me. You have a ghost in your heart!"

"I didn't steal the princess's hairpin, why did you slander me without evidence?"

"I didn't slander you, it was you..."

"Enough!" The princess stopped the conversation when she heard that the conversation between the two had fallen into an endless loop.

The princess also grew up in the deep palace, so she can see some clues.Dare to love is that two people had a feud before.But she is not keen on helping whoever framed whom, the most important thing for her is to get back her hairpin.

There were already many children from aristocratic families watching the play just now, and she didn't want to have a big fight in public like two people.

"I don't care what personal enmity the two of you have. It was obvious that only Jing Ning got close to me just now, but there are many people who can play tricks on it. So, both of you need to be searched!"

Princess Pingting's complexion was also a little ugly, so many children from aristocratic families were watching, and she even saw a few young ladies who didn't know whose family they were bowing their heads and whispering together.

If the princess is really searched, she will definitely be laughed at in the future.But... since the hairpin was already on Jing Ning's body, she had nothing to be afraid of.

After making up her mind, she raised her head and grabbed Jing Ning's sleeve, "Princess, search her body first. The hairpin must be on her body."

When Jing Ning was pulled by her like this, her arm felt scratched, and she immediately understood what it was.

She turned her head and pushed Princess Pingting, "Why are you teasing me?" The two of them looked like they were ladies from an aristocratic family who were fighting.

The two pushed and tugged along the way, and they reached the side of the boat without knowing it.When Jing Ning turned around, she had an idea in her mind.

At this time, Princess Pingting was already in a hurry, and just about to raise her hand, she slapped her.Jing Ning could obviously avoid this blow, but she forcibly held on.

There was a clear and crisp slap, and then there was a "bang", Jing Ning was "forced" to the railing.

At this time, on another part of the boat, Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Lin who had an angry face, rolled her eyes secretly, and chased after her if she liked it!What's the point of looking at it like this!
The situation on the battlefield here is intensifying.Jing Ning kept prodding Princess Pingting with words.

Princess Pingting guessed that it was a combination of old and new hatred, so she raised her hand and slapped "Go to hell!" But this time she was in vain, as soon as she touched Jing Ning's face, Jing Ning stood upright and walked away. The boat capsized, from someone else's point of view, it was more like she capsized her.

Before she could react, she soon found out that it was Jing Ning, that little bitch's trick, and she became furious.

"Princess Pingting is usually very arrogant. I didn't expect to get the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion off the boat today. Do you think the prime minister can let her go!"

"Heh... definitely not, everyone knows that the prime minister treasures his daughter-in-law very much!"

People around have been muttering.But the volume was enough for Pingting to hear in the silence.

Princess Pingting was furious, "That bitch jumped off by herself! I didn't push her"

It's fine if she doesn't say it, as soon as she said it, she meant that there is no silver 300 taels here.

"A good person, she will jump into the river by herself?" The tone was like talking about a fool.

Pingting looked up and found that there was a maid among the people who laughed at her.Going forward, he raised his hand and slapped the little maid.

As a result, a hairpin suddenly fell out from the sleeve, and it was the princess's hairpin.

Except for the one who was beaten by the servant girl, the sarcasm in the eyes of the other aristocratic ladies was even worse.

Xiao Yuan looked at the battlefield where the drama was staged layer by layer, then looked at Xiao Lin in the lake, and sighed.

As soon as Xiao Lin saw Jingning being pushed into the lake, he jumped down without any hesitation.
