Hong Ying's brain exploded. Her field of vision began to darken but she was able to narrowly avoid fainting. She only had one thought in her mind- I'm doomed, I'm afraid that today's matter can no longer be resolved well.

The imperial guard rushed forward with an anxious look on his face, and he appeared shocked when he saw Jiang Su Su's limp appearance on the ground. "So she was actually here. Who did such a thing to Second Miss for her to end up in such a manner? Are they tired of living well? If Junzhu knew, she would definitely not allow the culprit to get away with this!"

At first everyone had thoughts of just observing the liveliness, but who would have expected this. Seeing how this imperial guard mentioned Junzhu, upon looking once more at how he did not seem like an ordinary person, their hearts rustled in apprehension. Even that rich merchant settled down in the presence of this guard and hesitated before asking, "This young brother, which Junzhu are you referring to? What is the status of this young lady lying on the ground?"

Hong Ying hurriedly replied, "About this, you don't have to bother because she is someone from my family; I'm bringing her back now."

But then an unknown loud voice shouted from within the crowd, "Aiyo, just now, didn't this great lord want to bring the young lady on the ground back to his fu to become his seventeenth concubine? Why isn't he doing so?"

Once the imperial guard heard this, he did not wait for Hong Ying to speak before he exclaimed, "How brazen! To actually humiliate Miss. Open your beastly eyes and take a clear look. This is Second Miss of the capital's Minister Jiang's fu, and the di younger sister of Hong'an Junzhu!

Once these words were uttered, immediately the surroundings were in an uproar.

Jiang Su Su looked as if she was about to pierce her own nails right into the middle of her palm. With the constant tremble of her lips, it was as if her whole body had been immersed in an ice cellar. This person had loudly revealed everything and with one look, one could tell that Jiang Ruan had intentionally gotten this person to do so. The purpose was to tear out her identity for everyone to know and make her feel embarrassed. In comparison to killing her, this felt even more unbearable because with today's revelation, she had nothing left to hide and with such a reputation, this life of hers could very well be considered as ruined!

Hong Ying's face also became pale and she hated that she could not smother and squeeze that imperial guard and throw him somewhere to disappear without trace. Looking at everyone's measuring gazes, Hong Ying truly wanted to find a hole in the ground to bury herself in. More importantly, her heart felt a sudden pang of fear. Under her care, such a big incident had happened to Jiang Su Su. Amongst the three remaining daughters in the Jiang fu, Jiang Su Su was the only one who received Jiang Quan's genuine love and affection. For such a beloved daughter to have become such a huge joke, it was obvious he would also vent his anger upon her and Jiang Quan would definitely put her to death!

The root of all this lay entirely on Jiang Ruan. Hong Ying could not help but hate Jiang Ruan's fiery and ruthless tactics because she not only wanted to humiliate Jiang Su Su, she also wanted to completely destroy Jiang Su Su's reputation. She had even conspired to leave Jiang Su Su with no way left to lift her head amongst others. This, for Jiang fu and Jiang Quan would be a humongous setback and yet, Jiang Ruan had actually not remembered any familial affections. That said, Hong Ying had conveniently forgotten that when she initially was in cahoots with Jiang Su Su to plot against Jiang Ruan, there was not the slightest trace of familial affections either. This could be called, to harm others, one would ultimately harm themselves. It was nothing more than that.
