The place where Cen Yunchu invited them to meet this time was a restaurant called Shenzui Dongfeng.
This time Jiang Nuan arrived early as always.
Xu Chunjun and Cen Yunchu also came early, and saw that she was still smiling as usual, and there was no difference.
"I heard that you are feeling unwell, but are you sick?" Xu Chunjun asked, holding her hand.
"No...ah...that..." Jiang Nuan stammered, her face a little red, "I didn't do anything wrong, I'm fine now."
"What's that?" Cen Yunchu looked at her sideways, his lips slightly parted, "Since you're not sick, why did you say it's okay?"
Xu Chunjun also added: "You are not a liar, so you exposed the secret first."
"I didn't mean to deceive you," Jiang Nuan said in embarrassment and embarrassment, "It's just that it's not just my own business, so it's hard to talk about it. Besides, I promised her to keep it secret."
"It doesn't matter. If it's difficult, don't tell her," Xu Chunjun comforted her, "I didn't see you on the county master's birthday yesterday, so I asked your sister..."
"Who did you ask?!" Jiang Nuan immediately opened his eyes and asked.
"Jiang Qing, who else could it be?" Xu Chunjun smiled, "If I ask others, they can't know!"
"She...she actually..." Jiang Nuan was still in a daze, unable to turn around for a moment, "How did she go?"
"Stop it!" Cen Yun knew what was going on when he saw her like this for the first time, "Are you kidding me?!"
Xu Chunjun naturally understood. He pulled Jiang Nuan to sit down and said, "You are too honest, and your sister is too bullying."
"You asked me to come out..." Jiang Nuan asked hesitantly, "But what did I hear..."
"We heard that the girl from the Jiang family was molested by a drunken man, so she was not even able to attend the birthday banquet of the county lord." Cen Yunchu, who had some free time, poured himself a glass of wine, drank the salted fennel beans on the table, and said with a smile, "
I thought it was you!"
"It's not me!" Jiang Nuan jumped up anxiously, then sat down and gritted his teeth in frustration.
"It's not you, who is that?" Xu Chunjun looked at Jiang Nuan and asked. Of course she had already guessed who it was, but she still wanted Jiang Nuan to say it himself.
Jiang Nuan bit her lip, clenched and unclenched her fists, unclenched and clenched them again, and it took a long time to squeeze out two words from between her teeth: "Jiang Qing."
The reason why she was like this was because she had personally promised Jiang Qing never to tell anyone else about this matter.
She is a person who values her promises. Even though she knew that Jiang Qing had cheated her, she was still unwilling to go back on her word.
It was also because Xu Chunjun and Cen Yunchu were no better than others that she said so.
It turned out that that day, Jiang Qing wanted to go out for a walk at night. Meng was worried and asked Jiang Nuan to accompany her.
Coincidentally, Meng Qiao also came to watch the fun that day. Several people were in one place, and they stayed there for a longer time.
Later, when the Kongming Lanterns were released, they had to go to an open place.
The three of them were slightly separated, but not too far apart, and they could both take care of each other.
Just when the lights were on, a drunk man came over and hugged Jiang Qing.
At that time, Jiang Qing screamed in fright, and the two maids beside her hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away.
Jiang Nuan had already thrown away the lamp and rushed over, followed closely by Meng Qiao.
The drunk man was so strong that Jiang Qing and the two maids couldn't push him away.
It was Jiang Nuan who picked up a bamboo stick from the roadside and hit him from behind several times before he let go.
Jiang Qing was ashamed and afraid and just kept crying, while Meng Qiao dragged her into the carriage in a good manner, not wanting more people to see her.
Jiang Qing got in the car, and Jiang Nuan wanted to chase the drunk man, but was stopped by the bell and the pendant.
After all, there are differences between men and women, and that person is obviously drunk and immoral, so if we really start to argue, he will probably suffer.
Although they have a coachman, the other party also has servants.
Jiang Nuan was filled with resentment and endured her anger and got into the car to comfort Jiang Qing.
Jiang Nuan was sincere, but she didn't know that Jiang Qing hated herself in her heart. She just felt that no matter what, she was still his sister, and she had indeed been wronged today.
Jiang Qing cried in Meng Qiao's arms and kept saying, "What will we do if people find out now?!"
Jiang Nuan and Meng Qiao both comforted her and said that there were few people in this place and it was dark, so no one could see her at all.
But Jiang Qing didn't believe it, so she didn't even think about raising her head if word spread about it.
He added, "Now I just feel scared. I will get sick if I go back. It's the county lord's birthday in a few days. I can't go, and the rumors will spread even more. What should I do?"
Jiang Nuan didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but Meng Qiao was still thinking about it and said: "I have a way to do this, but I don't know what Miss An Nuan thinks."
When Jiang Nuan saw that she was asking him the question, he had to say: "What can I think? I just want A-Qing to be okay!"
"That's good. A-Qing is afraid that if she doesn't go to the banquet, bad rumors will be confirmed, so the three of us won't go for the time being. In this way, they won't be sure who it is, so they won't dare to make random guesses.
Already."
If Jiang Qing was the only one who didn't show up, then people would naturally assume it was her. But with all three of them missing, it was impossible to determine who it was.
If there is suspicion, there is suspicion. As long as it is not proven, it is easy to say anything.
After Jiang Qing heard this, she stopped crying and said, "Second Sister's idea is really good, but it's just a bit unfair to the two sisters."
Meng Qiao said with a smile: "What's the point? It's not a big deal in the first place, but I'm afraid that people who are interested will mention it. Let's not go out and show our faces for the time being. When this period of time passes, people will forget it, and no one will mention it."
There is something new every day in this capital, but no matter what it is, it is just something people talk about after dinner. Over time, it will eventually be forgotten.
Jiang Qing turned around and begged Jiang Nuan. She looked pitiful and sweet, so how could Jiang Nuan not agree.
So it was decided that the three of them would stay at home and not go out.
"Now that you have agreed upon it, you have completely accepted the truth, right?" Cen Yunchu asked after hearing Jiang Nuan tell what happened.
Jiang Nuan couldn't help but blush and said: "I know you are saying that I am stupid and gullible. But I really feel that since I have said something good, I should do it!"
"You are right," Xu Chunjun patted Jiang Nuan's hand and said, "Those who betray their trust are the ones who are really wrong."
Xu Chunjun's words made Jiang Nuan feel better, but then he sighed and said, "So what! After all, it's me who is unlucky."
Jiang Qing and Meng Qiao went to the banquet without telling her, which made Jiang Nuan the reputation of being molested.
It was impossible for her to explain everything one by one to everyone, not to mention that even if she explained it, she might not necessarily believe it.
Furthermore, even if Jiang Nuan is found innocent, Jiang Qing will definitely be dragged into the water, and it will be strange if Jiang Yinzhi and Meng don't take her skin off.
"Oh! I'm so unlucky!" Jiang Nuan complained to himself, "I shouldn't have come to the capital a long time ago. I never have a good day."
