Chapter 242: Go to the Yamen to Complain
"Miss, don't worry. Our people have been following you secretly and have made sure that no one is following you." Xier said to Jiang Suining.
The latter nodded and motioned Xier to guard outside the door.
After Xi'er left, Han Yueying took off her cloak and looked at Jiang Suining, "Don't worry, no matter what Qin asked me today, I didn't say anything."
Jiang Suining knew that Han Yueying was not a fool. Since she had risked everything to this extent, she would naturally not tell the truth at this time.
A few days ago, after discovering that Han Yueying was secretly watching Han Nian'an, and finding out that Changning Marquis' Mansion purchased incense and received an invitation to the lotus viewing banquet, she roughly guessed the purpose, so she met with Han Yueying in private.
After learning that Han Yueying wanted to become a concubine in the Marquis's Mansion, she decided to help her.
Therefore, she drew a map of the mansion for Han Yueying in advance, and took advantage of the fact that there were many people at the banquet to let Han Yueying sneak in through the back door and hide in a designated location. At the same time, Lin Jie also disguised himself as a servant and sneaked in. When he pretended to faint and was taken into the room, he had been hiding in the dark.
After everyone left, he immediately left the room. Lin Jie waited quietly outside and knocked out Zhou Yihong, who followed behind, and threw him in.
He went to find Han Yueying and replaced her. After Han Yueying arrived, Zhou Yihong, who had already inhaled the aphrodisiac incense, was forced to drink aphrodisiac wine. His mind was so confused that he could not remember what happened at all.
Han Yueying also carried the antidote for the love wine on her body. When someone came, she just needed to quietly apply some on Zhou Yihong's mouth and nose, and he would gradually wake up.
"What does the Qin family say now?" Jiang Suining asked Han Yueying.
Han Yueying's face turned grim. "She refused to let me into the mansion and said that she would investigate the matter thoroughly. As for Zhou Yihong, he didn't show up at all."
Jiang Suining understood. It seemed to be the case again. No matter what problems arose, Zhou Yihong would continue to be a coward and let Qin support him.
Although Han Yueying was determined, she was still a little nervous. She asked Jiang Suining, "What if they really investigate carefully? I threw the wine bag and medicine bottle under the bed in the side room of the Marquis' Mansion. They can be found with a simple search. What if..."
"Don't worry, it has been taken back." Jiang Suining said.
Lin Jie did not leave the mansion immediately, but hid in the dark. After everyone left the room, he turned back and quietly took it away.
Hearing Jiang Suining say this, Han Yueying breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, but if Qin continues to investigate...
"No, even if they really investigate, they can't make the matter public, otherwise it will not be of any benefit to their mansion."
Zhou Yihong's reputation is now almost ruined, and he is getting further and further away from the title. Under such circumstances, the Qin family dare not spread any bad news.
After all, Han Yueying's matter and Qin and the others' plot against her have been mixed up together. If one wants to expose one, the other will inevitably be implicated.
Han Yueying looked at Jiang Suining, and her words made her feel at ease.
"Miss Jiang, judging from what Qin said, even if things have turned out like this, she will not let Zhou Yihong take me as a concubine. Do you have any other ideas?"
"That depends on whether you and your father dare to risk it."
"It has come to this, what else can I not risk? Anyway, I must enter the Marquis' Mansion and make Han Nian'an wish he could neither live nor die!" Han Yueying's eyes reflected a strong hatred, "As for my father, he will have to risk it even if he doesn't want to. Just like he sent Han Nian'an to the Marquis' Mansion before, he must send me there now."
Feeling Han Yueying's determination again, Jiang Suining offered a solution.
"The Qin family values their reputation and Zhou Yihong's title. If you are willing to take risks, you can make things bigger, such as... filing a complaint against them at the government office."
"Go to the government office to file a complaint?" Han Yueying was stunned. "How can this be done? That's the Marquis' Mansion. The government office will definitely side with them."
"The purpose of filing a complaint is not to send Zhou Yihong to jail, but to make a big fuss. In this way, in order to save face and solve the problem, the Marquis's Mansion will naturally have to make concessions. As for how to do it specifically and how to negotiate the conditions for the Marquis's Mansion to take you as a concubine, there is no need for me to explain this. Your father has experience."
Han Mingzhang and Han Nian'an took advantage of this point before, and now they are just copying it, and it is almost the same.
"I understand!" Han Yueying's eyes lit up.
Since Han Nian'an could do it, she could do it too. She wanted to let Han Nian'an see how she entered the Marquis' Mansion using the same method as her.
Jiang Suining looked at Han Yueying seriously, "Miss Han, let me ask you again, do you really not regret it? The Marquis' Mansion is not a comfortable place, especially since you entered it in this way."
Han Yueying reached out and touched the scar on her face. Although the madness in her eyes was gone, there was a deeper and more determined look in them.
"I don't regret it. Anyway, even if it's not the Marquis' Mansion, I will go to other places to be someone else's concubine. I am like this now because of Han Nian'an. I will go to the place closest to Han Nian'an and let her get the retribution she deserves."
As for the Marquis' Mansion, they would never kill her. As long as she could stay alive, she could ignore everything else.
Seeing this, Jiang Suining didn't say anything more.
In fact, she also knew that it was too late to regret now that things had come to this point. She asked this question just to see Han Yueying's determination.
Han Yueying did not stay long after getting the answers and solutions she wanted from Jiang Suining.
Before leaving, she hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Miss Jiang, I have one last question. How do you know the Marquis' Mansion so well? I followed the route you told me to take, but I rarely met maids and servants. And the courtyard you told me to hide in, no one came over even though I was hiding there."
Jiang Suining did not answer, but just looked at Han Yueying with a smile.
That courtyard was once the residence of the favorite concubine of Marquis Changning, Zhou Yihong's father. After she died, it was left vacant. Qin did not allow anyone to clean it, and gradually, the servants in the mansion stopped going there.
However, she was not interested in telling Han Yueying about the old stories of the Changning Marquis' Mansion.
Seeing that Jiang Suining did not answer, the latter did not ask any more questions. He quickly wrapped his cloak again and left the yard, and was escorted out of the house by Xier.
After returning to the Han family, Han Yueying and Han Mingzhang argued almost until dawn. In the end, Han Yueying persuaded Han Mingzhang. To be precise, Han Mingzhang also knew that there was little possibility of repairing the relationship with the Changning Marquis Mansion. In order to avoid being accused of not educating his daughter well and having ulterior motives by the Changning Marquis Mansion, he decided to strike first and seize the identity of the victim.
On the morning of the second day, Han Yueying and Han Mingzhang went to the yamen, and the news that the Han family sued Zhou Yihong for drunkenness and rape of a girl spread quickly.
