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 Shao's words left his mouth, joy was written across Jiang Su Su's face, while Commandery Princess Rongya and Xu Ruoxi's faces turned pale. Mo Cong looked at Xiao Shao with surprise, unable to decipher Xiao Shao's words. Fifth Prince narrowed his eyes, "It is unusual that Xiao Shao 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 Ruan 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 Ruan'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 Ruan'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 Ruan glared at him, "Who is the Ruan'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 Ruan 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 Ruan's cold voice said, "What you have said was indeed convincing, but I am Jiang fu's Eldest Young Miss. The Jiang Ruan in your eyes is actually Jiang fu's Second Young Miss, Jiang Su Su."

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.
