ARDA - Chapter 55 - It's the Second Lady's Handkerchief

 Xu Yuanqing took out the handkerchief from his sleeve.

This handkerchief was accidentally dropped by Miss Jiang when they were in the pavilion. It was not a token of love for him at all. 

Although doing this would offend Miss Jiang, she doesn't care about that much now.

He is about to be kicked out of the capital, so he has no scruples!

"Lord Marquis, Miss Jiang gave this to me when we were in Qingcheng Mountain." Xu Yuanqing held the handkerchief and spoke.

Everyone's eyes fell on the handkerchief.

Generally speaking, personal belongings such as handkerchiefs and sachets would not be given to others unless they were, as he said, a token of love.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and Marquis Jiang's expression darkened.

Xu Yuanqing glanced at Jiang Ning to see how she would react, but he didn't expect that she was as calm as ever and her expression didn't change at all.

Xu Yuanqing couldn't help but tremble, feeling terrified. This was Miss Jiang's own handkerchief. Why was she so calm?

Jiang Ning said, "Mr. Xu, there is no basis for your words. You just said this is a token of love? You just randomly took a handkerchief from somewhere else and said it was given by me. In this way, wouldn't everyone be able to blame it to me?"

Xu Yuanqing gritted his teeth. This was the handkerchief that Miss Jiang left behind. He saw it with his own eyes and felt confident.

He frowned and said, "Lord Marquis, the materials and embroidery techniques used for the handkerchiefs in the house are different from those of ordinary people. You only need to ask the embroiderer to verify it, and you will know whether what I say is true."

Xu Yuanqing's words were true and Marquis Jiang couldn't help but become suspicious.

Madam Lin clenched her handkerchief even more worriedly and looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning turned around, looked at Lord Jiang, and said, "Father, please ask the embroiderer to identify it. This daughter is innocent and has never given out any tokens of love!"

Mrs. Lin frowned and said, "Then let Aunt Huang identify it."

Aunt Huang is an old nanny in the house, and her embroidery skills are as good as those of other embroiderers outside.

Marquis Jiang nodded slightly and agreed.

Soon, Aunt Huang came over, took the handkerchief from Xu Yuanqing's hand, and looked at it carefully.

There was silence in the hall. Aunt Huang opened the handkerchief and looked at the patterns on it carefully. After looking at it for a while, her face changed slightly and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Aunt Huang, how about it? Is it the handkerchief from my house?" asked Madam Lin.

Aunt Huang held the handkerchief tightly, her hands trembling slightly, and she couldn't answer.

Madam Lin frowned and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, "You tell me!"

Aunt Huang swallowed and raised her face to look at Marquis Jiang and Madam Lin, her face full of hesitation, "This, this handkerchief..."

Xu Yuanqing dropped the stone in his heart and raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Seeing the hesitant look on Aunt Huang's face, he knew that the matter was settled. This was of course Miss Jiang's handkerchief.

Jiang Mengyue's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect that Xu Yuanqing was so capable that he could get Jiang Ning's handkerchief.

Sure enough, he had not chosen the wrong person. In this way, no matter how capable Jiang Ning was, he would not be able to reject him.

Humph, she sneered inwardly.

Marquis Jiang slapped the table with one hand and said coldly, "Tell the truth! If you dare to lie, I will tear you apart!"

Nanny Huang's heart trembled and she didn't dare to hide anything, "This is indeed the handkerchief of the house..."

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Jiang Ning.

"Okay!" Marquis Jiang laughed angrily, staring at Jiang Ning with a gloomy look.

"This is the second lady's handkerchief..." Nanny Huang said the rest of her words with a trembling voice. The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned and did not react.

Jiang Mengyue's head was buzzing, and her whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning.

Marquis Jiang was stunned, "What did you say? Whose handkerchief is this?"

"It's the second lady's handkerchief." Aunt Huang told the truth. It was the Marquis who told her to tell the truth.

Jiang Mengyue screamed subconsciously, "No! How could that be my handkerchief?"

"What I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can find someone else to take a look. This plum blossom embroidery is definitely the second lady's needlework."
