The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 64: Exposing Lies

Zhou Da never would have thought that in the middle of the journey, Jinying Wang would appear. Jinying Wang's identity was such that he would never dare to offend. However with the current situation, it was difficult to continue on nor could he back out halfway[1], therefore he did not know what to do.

[1] Qíhǔnánxià ( 骑虎难下 ) - an idiom meaning if you ride a tiger, it's hard to get off ; fig. refers to doing something which is difficult to continue on and yet impossible to stop halfway.

Once Xiao Jungkook's words left his mouth, joy was written across Jiang Nancy's face, while Commandery Princess Rongya and Xu Ruoxi's faces turned pale. Mo Cong looked at Xiao Jungkook with surprise, unable to decipher Xiao Jungkook's words. Fifth Prince narrowed his eyes, "It is unusual that Xiao Jungkook would take the initiative to help the Jiang fu's Second Young Miss out of her situation."

Xuan Li's eyes shone with profound meaning, "Perhaps it really is Jinying Wang's green jade bead."

Jiang Lisa retracted her gaze and suddenly said to the stupefied and distracted Zhou Da, "So it is you who is lying, that green jade bead is obviously Jinying Wang's. Then, where did Miss Jiang's handkerchief come from?"

Hearing Jiang Lisa's words, Zhou Da thought of something- the green jade bead was indeed Jinying Wang's, but the handkerchief that he had in his possession was also real. If he admitted to it, he would surely have to face severe consequences, however, if he chose to continue holding on and not admitting, he might get away without trouble. Zhou Da had no principles therefore he was good at playing dirty tricks. He laughed coldly, loudly saying "Everything I said is true. Even if it's an influential and noble person, they cannot use power and influence to bully others. The handkerchief was something that Lisa'er gave to me; she personally gave it to me as a token of love!"

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone was shocked..

Jiang Lisa glared at him, "Who is the Lisa'er you speak of?"

Zhou Da spoke with certainty, "Who else can it be? Of course it is the Eldest Young Miss of Minister Jiang's fu! "

"Pu Chi", Jiang Lisa looked like she had just heard something very funny, her eyes full of laughter, "You claim that Miss Jiang had long exchanged love tokens with you and just now you even sacrificed your life to save her. I am not sure if you are aware who she is exactly?"

"What do you mean?", Zhou Da felt an uneasiness in his heart, feeling that something was not right. In response, Jiang Lisa's cold voice said, "What you have said was indeed convincing, but I am Jiang fu's Eldest Young Miss. The Jiang Lisa in your eyes is actually Jiang fu's Second Young Miss, Jiang Nancy."

The moonlight shone on her alluring face, bringing about more resolute coldness, "Young Master Zhou, is it possible that your forgetfulness is so great that you can't even recognise the one who had a romantic affair with you?"

As they watched this event unfold, the surrounding people were clear on the twists and turns. The people present were all from noble families, thus they understood the scheme very clearly. Obviously, this Zhou Da was full of lies, and he was acting on someone's order, wanting to ruin Jiang fu's Eldest Young Miss's reputation. Yet somehow, Jiang fu's Second Young Miss was implicated by accident.

Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi were relieved, on the other hand, Jiang Lisa's expression remained the same. Just now, she kept calling Jiang Nancy "Miss Jiang", her intention being to mislead Zhou Da. Once Zhou Da opened his mouth, the surrounding people were all smart, they naturally understood the crucial point within.

Jiang Nancy's expression was unreadable. Although Zhou Da had spoken truthfully, it still proved her innocence. However, because people would definitely speculate about the identity of the person who wanted to harm Jiang Lisa, she and Xia Yan would inevitably become the subjects of discussion among others.
