Jian Zhiyi looked at Ningning in disbelief.
She had never imagined that at her most helpless moment, when she was on the verge of giving up and letting everything fall apart, the person who would step forward to speak up for her would be Ningning.
This was the very person who was the greatest thorn in the side of both her father and the Crown Prince!
By all logic, she and Ningning should have been bitter enemies.
Deng Xuelian was equally stunned by Ningning’s sudden interference. Sparks of fury ignited in her eyes as she looked at her. She wished she could lunge forward and strangle her right then and there. After all, wasn’t it Ningning who had orchestrated her downfall, leading her to this wretched state? Hatred surged within her, twisting her features into a mask of malice.
"Everyone here can do the math," Ningning said coolly. "On one side, you have Miss Jian and Young Master Dai; on the other, you have the exiled prisoner, the woman surnamed Deng. Who are you going to believe?" She paused, a smirk playing on her lips. "And another thing—I recall that on the very day my eldest sister married He Xiangzhe, the He clan was raided and sent into exile. They never even shared a bridal chamber!"
