The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 434 Jiang Suining's Remedial Measures

"Yang Manman, stop making sarcastic remarks here. Do you really think you can get away with it by just saying that you were not involved?" Lu Yan frowned and looked at Yang Manman.

"Of course, it's none of my business. I can even give you a suggestion." Yang Manman looked at Lu Yan and He Qingrui instigatingly. "Anyway, you are responsible for the pens and books. The destruction of the orchid has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and explain it clearly. Put it all on Jiang Suining and the others, so you won't be punished."

"What a joke! Do you think everyone is as despicable and shameless as you?" Lu Yan sneered.

He Qingrui looked at the orchids on the ground and felt very panicked. Although she hesitated for a moment, she still spoke.

"That's right, we will never do that. If we do that, what's the difference between us and people like you!"

"Anyway, I've already given you my idea. It's up to you whether to do it or not. Just don't regret it when you're punished. And that's..."

Yang Manman shifted her gaze to Jiang Suining and looked at her proudly.

"Jiang Suining, I'm waiting to see you get into big trouble and get out of the palace in disgrace!"

Yang Manman left with a smile on her face. Wei Yao looked at her back, full of doubts in her heart.

"Could it be that Yang Manman destroyed these orchids?"

As soon as this question was raised, He Qingrui immediately agreed.

"I think it's very likely. She looked suspicious in that sneaky way. And she wasn't afraid at all when she saw the orchids being destroyed. Maybe she had already made up her mind to put the blame on us."

The more He Qingrui spoke, the angrier she became. She wished she could chase Yang Manman back right away and confront her face to face.

Although Lu Yan also hated Yang Manman's appearance just now, she still spoke uncertainly: "Does Yang Manman really have such courage? Even if she wants to frame us, destroying orchids is a serious matter. Once discovered, not only the Concubine Shu, but even the Queen will not forgive her."

"She is so cruel. People like Yang Manman will do anything to harm others. She is ruthless even to her own family members!" He Qingrui said gritting her teeth.

Jiang Suining, who had been silent since a while ago, finally spoke.

"Whether it was Yang Manman or not, there is no evidence, and we cannot convict based on speculation alone. Moreover, the most urgent task now is to find a way to resolve this matter and save the face of Madam Shufei."

"There's only half an hour left before the banquet starts. What else can we do? Besides, these flowers have been broken. Even if we replant them, we can't put them out again." He Qingrui looked worried.

Jiang Suining looked at the orchids and said after a moment, "We can't display them again after planting them, but it's possible to try a different method."

Half an hour passed quickly and the banquet was about to begin.

Yang Manman couldn't wait to go to Queen Shi to distance herself from the matter, saying that she had never touched those orchids.

Upon learning that the orchid was destroyed, Empress Shi immediately sent the housekeeper to inquire about the situation. After learning that Jiang Suining and others were trying to remedy the situation, although she was worried, the matter was done and the banquet was imminent, so there was nothing she could do.

When the banquet started, Concubine Shu walked in with Emperor Xiao.

Although there was a smile on his face, he felt no joy at all when he thought about the destroyed orchids.

Among the people present, except for officials from the Xiao royal family and Concubine Shu's mother's family, most of the others were female relatives.

After the ceremony, when Concubine Shu took her seat, everyone congratulated her in unison.

"Congratulations to Her Majesty Shufei on her birthday. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, ma'am."

After everyone sat down again, some officials' wives quickly mentioned the lotus orchids.

"My Lady Shufei, I heard that your father and brother carefully cultivated a large number of lotus orchids to celebrate your birthday. I wonder if we are honored to be able to appreciate them with your help."

The tone of the official's wife who spoke was full of envy, and it was obvious that she wanted to use this incident to curry favor with Concubine Shu.

Shufei's face was stiff. She looked around but only saw Yang Manman, but not Jiang Suining and the others.

Without hearing Concubine Shu's answer, Emperor Xiao, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at her and spoke.

"My beloved, since your father and brother have carefully cultivated it, let us all enjoy it together. I also want to take a look at the lotus orchids of this season."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Shu was feeling conflicted. Just when she was about to say that the orchid had been destroyed, Jiang Suining walked in from outside.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, the Empress, and the Consort Shu."

Jiang Suining bowed and saluted.

Seeing Jiang Suining, Concubine Shu quickly swallowed the words she was about to say and looked at her inquiringly.

Although she didn't quite believe that the other party really had any remedies, what if?

On her birthday, the beautiful orchid was destroyed. She really didn't want anyone to know about this ominous sign.

"Empress Shufei, everything you asked for has been arranged. Now you can all go to the Imperial Garden to admire the orchids." Jiang Suining said calmly with a smile on his face.

"My beloved, did you give me any additional instructions?" Emperor Xiao asked curiously.

Shufei was confused and didn't know how to answer when Jiang Suining spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Shu has prepared a surprise and has specifically instructed that it must not be disclosed before this. You will know after you arrive."

Concubine Shu also quickly took over Jiang Suining's words, "Yes, Your Majesty, please don't ask for now, you will know when you get there."

"Hahaha, okay. Then I'd like to take a good look at what surprise my beloved concubine has prepared." Emperor Xiao laughed heartily.

Following Emperor Xiao, Empress Shi, and Concubine Shu, everyone soon moved to the Imperial Garden.

The place where the lotus flowers were previously placed has been cleaned up, and only a few pots of the original large area of ​​lotus orchids are left. Although they are in full bloom, they look a little lonely.

“Why are there only a few pots?”

"Yeah, that's a bit too little."

Listening to the whispers coming from behind, Concubine Shu frowned and looked at Jiang Suining with dissatisfaction.

Is this the response she mentioned, to clean up the broken things and pretend nothing happened?

Who are you trying to fool?

Emperor Xiao was also puzzled, "My beloved concubine, I heard that your father and brother sent a lot of pots here, how come there are only a few?"

"Yes, sister, my father and I had eighty basins delivered here. How come there are only these?" Concubine Shu's brother said in surprise.

"Please don't misunderstand, Your Majesty and everyone else. These pots were only left by the Empress as a reminder. The real ones are over there. You can look to the west."

Following the direction Jiang Suining pointed, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the west...
