"Drinking and causing trouble? Bullying girls?"

Lin Qianqian felt strange.

"This is not the prince's style."

Seeing Lin Qianqian so calm, Taozhi felt less panicked and began to think along with what she said.

"Auntie, you are right."

"The prince doesn't cause trouble. He's not the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble."

"Something must have happened."

About an hour later, Taozhi came in again to report, "Aunt, the prince is back and is being reprimanded by the marquis."

When Lin Qianqian rushed to the meeting room, she found that Yu, Gu Ling, and Gu Yuan were all there, including Cheng Jiayao, who was standing beside Yu serving her.

She walked in and stood silently in the corner of the room.

The Marquis held a long whip in his hand and pointed at Gu Huai and angrily said, "Well, it's fine if you don't study hard, but you also want to lead others astray and make them lose interest in studying."

"She actually brought Gu Ling and Gu Yuan to the brothel to cause trouble."

Gu Huai raised his head and said, "Dad, it's not what you heard."

"I didn't take them with me. They asked me to go with them. They said the capital is very prosperous and lively. They haven't been to a brothel before, so they don't know what the girls in the capital look like. They insisted that I take them to see it."

"Snapped--"

Before he could finish his words, a slap landed on Gu Huai's face, making a crisp and loud sound.

Everyone was shocked.

Yu was reluctant to let go of her hand that was covering her mouth, and soon she covered her face and cried silently.

The Marquis pointed at Gu Huai and shouted angrily, "You're lying!"

"Don't I know Gu Ling and Gu Yuan? It's obviously you! Wasn't this concubine of yours the one you brought back from the brothel? I guess you must have been itching to go to the brothel recently."

The Marquis blocked Gu Huai's words.

He had nothing to say.

He just kept his back straight and stared at the Marquis without blinking.

Gu Huai, "Everything I said is true."

"If I tell you a lie, I swear to heaven!"

The Marquis said, "Humph! You think that other person is you? You used to go to the brothel all the time, but you have been quiet for a while. I don't believe what you say."

Yu couldn't help but speak up, "My Lord, there must be a misunderstanding. Please don't wrongly accuse Huai'er."

The Marquis sneered and put away the whip in his hand, "How could I wrongly accuse him? Don't I know what kind of person he is?"

Gu Yuan cupped his hands and said to the Marquis, "Father, the prince wanted to take us to the brothel to see the girls, and we agreed without thinking."

"You! That's nonsense!" Gu Huai pointed at Gu Yuan angrily, "It was you who asked me to take you there, how come it became me who took you there?"

Gu Yuan was not in a hurry. He turned to Gu Ling and said, "Gu Ling, tell me, was it Gu Huai who took us to the brothel?"

Gu Ling thought about it and scratched his hair. He seemed to come to his senses.

"Well, that's it."

Gu Yuan came to him alone and said that the prince wanted to take them, two country bumpkins, to see the hustle and bustle of the capital and wanted them to go see the girl.

In fact, he also liked to look at girls, but when he was dragged to a brothel, he had no way to refuse directly.

After all, he is the prince, and he also wants to have a good relationship with him.

If he refused, he would think that he was ungrateful, throwing tantrums, and not taking him, his master, seriously.

"You actually framed me?" Gu Huai looked at the honest Gu Ling and said this against his conscience.

Gu Ling lowered his head and said, "I didn't frame the prince."

His sincere attitude and honest look made Gu Ling's words more credible.

The Marquis remembered clearly that Gu Huai had visited the brothel before. He had caused an uproar in the entire capital and had lost all his face.

His concubine Lin Qianqian is by his side, even though she is so old.

It was hard for him not to think that it was him who took Gu Ling and Gu Yuan to the brothel to make trouble.

The Marquis said seriously, "You two are at a good age to study and practice martial arts."

"Don't be obsessed with women. Wait until one of you passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scholar in literature and martial arts. Then, I will naturally find you an excellent marriage. Don't waste your time now."

"I am telling you this seriously as someone who has experienced this."

As a man, the Marquis naturally went through his youth.

At that time, I couldn't control my emotions. When I met a beautiful woman, I felt like I was being controlled and couldn't think.

Gu Huai has already been ruined by a woman, and he can't let Gu Ling and Gu Yuan be harmed by a woman again.

Women are poison. Once you get addicted to them, you can't quit.

The Marquis finished speaking, "Then he asked where the young girl was."

Gu Yuan turned his head and looked outside the door and said, "My Lord, she is waiting outside."

"Tell her to come in."

The Marquis glanced at Gu Huai and said, "You seem to like prostitutes in brothels very much. You already have one, so why do you want to marry another one?"

When Cheng Jiayao heard this, she carefully observed Lin Qianqian's expression. She expected to see anger and fury on her face.

Unexpectedly, it failed

She seemed not to have heard it, and the expression on her face remained unchanged.

No, she must have seen it wrong.

Didn't Lin Qianqian say that she loved the prince to death and wanted to be with him forever? Now she was puzzled by his indifferent look.

The little girl came in.

Lin Qianqian saw a charming woman with a pair of fox eyes with upturned corners. The bangs beside her ears were deliberately wetted with water and hung down in two curved strands.

Looks very charming.

The little girl bowed to the Marquis and began to cry, "The prince asked me to accompany him for a drink, but he did that to me after he got drunk. When he woke up, he denied it? He clearly said he would take me into the Marquis's mansion, but he denied even touching me."

Gu Huai said helplessly, "I really don't remember what happened at that time."

"But I definitely didn't touch you."

"Besides, how come I get drunk so easily? I fell down after just one glass."

Gu Yuan said, "It was because the prince refused to admit his mistake that he had a conflict with the servants in the building."

"I think as a man, you have to take responsibility for your own actions. There is nothing to deny about that."

"Prince, since you have done this, just admit it."

After listening to Gu Huai's explanation, Lin Qianqian roughly understood that this might be a "honey trap".

As for who set up this trap, from the looks of it, that person is right here.

Cheng Jiayao bent down and said to Yu, "Mother, since the prince has already promised Miss Xiao, please bring her into the Marquis's mansion."

"She and Aunt Lin both came from brothels, so they must have more in common, and Aunt Lin will have a companion in the future."

Lin Qianqian raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."

"Look at what you said, it's like there's no one to accompany me in the Marquis' Mansion. The maids, aunts, and even the prince can accompany me, why do I have to have someone who doesn't want to work to accompany me?"
