"Madam, you insist that I had an affair with that man. Do you have any evidence?" Lin Qianqian raised her firm eyes and looked at Shangyu.

How could she bear being wronged like this?

Lin Qianqian's tone was sonorous and powerful, and every word she spoke was very powerful, like the sound of a hammer hitting a stone. She didn't care at all about how Yu felt when she heard it.

"When the officials handle cases, they always rely on evidence before they convict people. Could it be that Madam convicted me arbitrarily just because of her sweet talk?"

"Do you really want me to cheat on your son?"

Noticing that Yu's face was grim and she was about to explode, Lin Qianqian covered her face and burst into tears.

"lady!"

"I have been taken as a concubine by the prince. Doing such an affair with someone else means you want to die? I don't have the guts to do that!"

Lin Qianqian's words were all thunder without rain, and the words that Yu was about to say were stuck in her throat.

Yu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Lin Qianqian lowered her eyes and sobbed sadly, "The prince treats me so well, how could I still have a lover? From the beginning to the end, I only like him, and I want to be with him forever."

"I don't know which maid in the mansion saw it. I was arguing with someone on the street, but he was a man I didn't know. They were attracted by my beauty. The general of the Jinwu Guards has even found out."

Yu originally questioned what Lin Qianqian said.

When he heard her mention the three words "Jinwu Guard", he believed it about 80%.

The Jinwu Guards are an organization of the imperial court's lackeys, but they are the people of the world under their command, and no one dares to go against them.

Including the ministers in the court, everyone treated them with respect.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the window, and Cheng Jiayao and Eryue came late.

She stepped into the house gracefully, bowed to Yu and greeted her mother, then turned to Lin Qianqian and said, "I heard that Aunt Lin met with trouble on the street and was taken to the Jinwu Guard Prison."

"It would have been fine if she had just encountered trouble, but she actually went to see the official. I thought Aunt Lin had done something and would be locked up in prison for several days. Fortunately, she came back, otherwise the prince would be very worried."

Cheng Jiayao spoke in a gentle and pleasant voice.

In front of Yu, she expressed the concern of a future mistress for Lin Qianqian, fully demonstrating her open-mindedness and tolerance.

What Cheng Jiayao wanted to hear was the news that Lin Qianqian was having an affair with someone.

Then seeing Yu was furious, Gu Huai was disappointed with her.

Li He was a drunkard that the eldest brother had found from the gambling house, and he had given him a few taels of silver. The original plan was to have him drag Lin Qianqian on the street, molest her, and create a scandal for Lin Qianqian so that she would be unable to defend herself.

Originally, Li He had gone to the Marquis' Mansion to make a scene and let everyone in the Mansion know that the reason why she went out of the Mansion so many times was because she was having an affair with someone behind the Prince's back.

Who could have thought that the Jinwu Guards would show up unexpectedly and put Li He and three others into jail, and they haven't come out yet.

Lin Qianqian said to Cheng Jiayao expressionlessly, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I stay in the mansion all day and have not committed any crime, so there is no reason why I would be imprisoned for a few days."

"The Jinwu Guard summoned me here just to interrogate me."

"The Crown Prince's wife is so kindhearted. Why is she hoping that I will be put in jail? If I am put in jail, it will definitely be related to the Marquis' Mansion. Could it be that the Crown Prince's wife is hoping that something will happen to the Marquis' Mansion and make it notorious in the capital again?"

Cheng Jiayao was so choked that she couldn't utter a word.

She looked at Yu with an awkward smile, reached out to touch her cheek which was hot because of saying the wrong thing, and smiled to make amends for herself.

"That's not what I meant. Aunt Lin misunderstood me. How could I not hope for your well-being?"

"I am truly relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

Cheng Jiayao touched her heart.

She really wanted to see Lin Qianqian suffer.

Lin Qianqian has become smarter in this life and no one can find any fault with her. After so much time has passed, she has become a little anxious.

In a flash, he had the pleasure of exchanging words.

She still had to maintain her image as an obedient, sensible, generous and decent daughter-in-law in front of Yu.

Cheng Jiayao said: "You are the prince's favorite. If you are not well, the prince may do something. I naturally hope you are well."

Lin Qianqian listened to Cheng Jiayao's words indifferently. She was so smooth, worldly-wise and good at dealing with people.

Cheng Jiayao can always make up for the loopholes in her words. She is indeed a good heroine to choose and has a very high IQ.

In the evening, the setting sun stretched the shadows of the trees in the courtyard into long and slender shapes, and the pavilions and towers were all tinged with a layer of orange-red.

Gu Huai came back wearing a blue and white student uniform.

Holding a book in his hand, he walked into Xiaoxiang Garden in a very good mood.

Taozhi told him what happened today, and he immediately went into the house to find Lin Qianqian.

"Qianqian, I know everything. Someone is bullying you."

"It's really too dangerous. Next time if I can't go out with you, I must send two guards with strong martial arts skills to follow you."

Lin Qianqian held her face with both hands in a depressed mood, "I would like to do this. However, my wife said that I should not show my face in public and cannot go out casually."

"I don't know why she suddenly asked for so many rules."

“No such things were mentioned before.”

Could it be that the heroine Cheng Jiayao was also behind her back, making things difficult for her? Restricting her personal freedom?

The heroine never shows up, she either pushes Yu out or pushes other concubines to come and make trouble for her.

Lin Qianqian thought about it and realized that Cheng Jiayao was so filial to Yu and was loved by her. If Cheng Jiayao said a few words, Yu would probably listen to her.

"Mother doesn't want you to go out casually?" Gu Huai was a little surprised.

He said to Lin Qianqian seriously, "Qianqian, don't worry, you can go out whenever you want in the future. If my mother continues to restrict your freedom to go out, you can say it is my order. I must give you freedom. How can people be caged like birds? People breathe fresh air."

Gu Huai put his hand on Lin Qianqian's shoulder and pulled her into his arms. "Qianqian, are you scared of what happened today?"

"I only regret not being there for you then."

Lin Qianqian leaned her head softly into Gu Huai's arms, and put her arms around him. "I was a little scared, but luckily, a patrolman named Jinwuwei rescued me on the street. I also fought back bravely. At that time, I was really afraid that something had happened and I would never see the prince again."

If she acted as if nothing had happened, Gu Huai would think that she was not very scared, and today's incident was not a big deal, so he would not care about her too much.

Show weakness at the right time and make him feel that he is needed.

A man's love for a woman often comes from "being needed" and "desire to protect".

Only a woman who makes him feel at ease and worried about her safety can touch his heart all the time.

Gu Huai hugged Lin Qianqian and coaxed her, "Don't be afraid."

"Qianqian, this kind of thing will never happen again."
