Chapter 117: Bite Back

and called off the engagement, she would have admired this deep affection and agreed to the annulment, finding another suitable match. But Gu Shuming had to go and act so disgustingly towards her.Gu J...Ning Dong was stunned after hearing this, and she was still very indignant. She said angrily: "This is really a cheap deal for her."

Meng Jin Yao raised the corner of her lips and smiled: "She slandered me in front of Princess Jingning, and the princess made things difficult for me. I gave her a fright back, and even tripped her. It's not like I lost out, it's just an eye for an eye."

Remembering the previous conversation, Qing Qiu smiled faintly and said: "Madam, if Jungning County wasn't someone lacking in awareness, she should have heard that her attempt to steal eggs ended up losing the whole basket."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jin Yao's expression faltered for a moment before she subtly shook her head. "I hope so," she said, "but looking at Princess Jingning, she doesn't seem very intelligent either. It's possible that she was deceived by Meng Jin Yu's sweet words."

Ning Dong was stunned: "It shouldn't be, right"

Meng Jinyáo smiled and pursed her lips: "This is hard to say."

Actually, Princess Jingning isn't very smart.

Over there, Meng Jin Yao and her servant girls had just turned around and continued down the stairs when a maid who had reacted quickly went to help Meng Jin Yu up from the ground.

Meng Jinyu gasped in pain, "Ouch!" If it weren't for the awkward movement, she really wanted to rub her buttocks. Just now, Meng Jin Yao had pulled her back, but before she could steady herself, she let go. Her whole body fell backward, and her buttocks slammed hard onto the ground, hurting terribly.

The maid saw her mistress in pain, her brow furrowed. She asked with concern, "Second Miss, where did you fall Should we call a doctor"

Meng Jin Yu endured the pain, Jing Ning County Lord rarely came to find her, she couldn't ruin the mood, it wasn't like her leg was broken, this bit of pain she could bear with, gently shaking her head: "I'm fine, no need to see a doctor."

Princess Jingning glanced at her nonchalantly: "Miss Meng Er, it's best not to force yourself in this matter. If something happens, you should see a doctor as soon as possible, otherwise, if you miss the treatment time, it will be bad for your health."

Meng Jin Yu noticed that Jing Ning County Princess's tone was a bit cold. She didn't understand, so she hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Thank you County Princess for your concern. I'm fine, just a little fall."

Quiet Ning County Princess stared at her intently, and bluntly asked: "Was it you who wanted to trip your elder sister just now"

Upon hearing this, Meng Jingyu's heart was stirred like a thousand waves, but she still managed to maintain her composure on the surface. She looked at Princess Jingning with feigned confusion and said: "Princess, how could you say such a thing Why would I trip up my elder sister It was me who fell just now, I don't even know what happened. I was standing perfectly fine, and then I just stumbled out."

The quiet and gentle princess looked at him with uncertainty, "Are you truly not trying to harm me After all, didn't your plan backfire"

"My lady, this is truly a misunderstanding," Meng Jin Yu shook her head repeatedly. Seeing that Princess Jingning was half-believing and half-doubting, she took a deep breath and raised three fingers, swearing, "I swear, I really didn't. If I had any ill intentions towards my elder sister, may my mother suffer a terrible end."

Hearing this, Jingning County Princess was shaken to her core. She chose to believe it. Filial piety comes first among a hundred virtues. To swear with one's own mother, could this be false

She quickly said, "Alright, I believe you now, don't I How could you use Mrs. Meng to swear an oath"

Meng Jinyu lowered her head, her expression filled with grievance as she whispered, "The noblewoman didn't listen to my explanation just now, I had no choice but to say that. But it's okay, after all, I really didn't do it. If I had really done such a thing, where would I dare to swear this kind of oath"

In fact, she was just swearing casually. There are plenty of people who swear in this world. If every casual remark came true, wouldn't all those fickle men who made promises they didn't keep be struck by lightning

Jingning County Princess believed her words implicitly. Seeing her frowning, she must be in pain. She said, "Let's not shop anymore. I'll take you to the doctor first, so the doctor can take a look at you. Don't leave any lingering illnesses.

Meng Jinyu no longer pretended: “Thank you, Princess.”

Thinking about Meng Jingyao's words just now, Princess Jingning guessed: "Didn't your sister just intentionally push you and then pretend to help you, so that you would fall in the end"

Meng Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head blankly: "I don't remember, what happened just now scared me so much. I clearly remembered standing there well, but I don't know how I fell out."

Jingning County Princess let out a cold snort, her tone firm: “It must be her who pushed you, and then pretended to be kindhearted, causing you to trip and fall. She even said some half-true words that mislead people.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Jin'yu let out a helpless sigh: "My elder sister probably sees me as an eyesore and wants to scare me. Besides, after she lost face in front of you just now, she must be feeling resentful. Forget it, I won't hold it against her."

Jingning County Princess glared at her with eyes full of indignation, angrily saying, "Ayu, you are too kind. If I were you, in that situation just now, I would have stood up and slapped her two times.

"

Meng Jin yu subtly twitched the corner of her mouth, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes. She softly soothed, "Your Highness, don't be angry. We shouldn't stoop to her level. It wouldn't be worth ruining our health over her."

Quiet Ning County Princess' lips moved slightly, but she ultimately didn't say anything more, revealing an expression of 'you really have me stumped.'

When Meng Jinyu saw someone coming, she said to the county princess, "County princess, let's go first."

Quietly nodding, Princess Jingning walked at the front. Her maid helped Meng Jinyu follow behind Princess Jingning, while other maids followed behind them. The group left the theater and went to the clinic.

-

The entrance of the rouge shop.

Meng Jinyao had just come out of the rouge shop when she suddenly saw a familiar face coming towards her. She immediately stopped in her tracks, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.

Song Xining saw her figure and subconsciously quickened her pace toward her, smiling and saying, "A Yao, what a coincidence, to meet you here."

Meng Jin yao nodded slightly and asked, "It's quite a coincidence, where are you going"

Song Xining replied, “I came to help Mrs. Shen with her medicine. I just came from the pharmacy up front and was about to come over here to buy some rouge.” She then turned her body sideways, revealing the maidservant behind her. The maidservant happened to be holding a few packets of medicine.

Meng Jin Yao showed a knowing expression: "I see. Then I'll accompany you in choosing rouge."

Song Xining questioned, "Ayo, what conflict did you just have with Meng Jinyu"

Meng Jinyao was slightly taken aback and asked blankly, "An Ning, why do you ask that Did you also go to the theater recently"

"I just ran into Meng Jin Yu at the clinic. Princess Jingning went with her. Listening to Princess Jingning speak up for her, and her putting on a show saying nice things about you," Song Xining said, letting out a dismissive snort. "I wonder what kind of trick she used to get Princess Jingning wrapped around her finger, going along with all her schemes."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jin Yao's beautiful brows furrowed. She succinctly described the situation below, and finally, her eyes grew cold, she let out a light snort: "Knowing this beforehand, I should have let her fall down earlier. Otherwise, my title as an evil older sister would be undeserved."n be closed."Gu Jingxi was a little surprised: "What method did you use to make him confess so quickly"Qi Yunwen shrugged and smiled, "That's not my credit. Yesterday, a young lady came to see him and...
