The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

They were not taking it lightly at all. They were 100% sure that Yu Liuli could not appear.

The popular election a year ago.

When the competition was almost over, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared. She claimed to be the most beautiful girl in Nanning. She was naturally charming and won the popular election by a huge margin, leaving the second place Jiang Wanrou far behind.

The gap was so huge that even though Jiang Wanrou secretly bought a lot of tickets, she was still far behind.

People only knew that Jiang Wanrou had a very good character. She was humble and polite to Yu Liuli, and did not show any disdain or contempt for her because she was a prostitute.

Even though he lost and came in second, he was still smiling and asked Yu Liuli for more advice. Unlike others, they all started to attack Yu Liuli's identity.

What they didn't know was that late at night on the second day after the competition, Jiang Wanrou forcibly took Yu Liuli back to the Censorate's Mansion on the pretext of asking for advice on makeup.

Then Yu Liuli disappeared and has not been seen since today.

The carriage stopped in front of the Censorate's Mansion as everyone was thinking about their own things.

They got off the carriage and the voices of the crowd became clearer.

"This Second Miss Jiang doesn't look like someone who would not pay back the money she owes."

"What do you know? You can only know a person's face but not his heart. They are all pretending!"

"Haven't you heard? She can do even more outrageous things!"

"What is it? Tell me quickly!"

"A few days ago, the palace held a banquet for all the heroes. People from various countries came. In front of the envoys from various countries, Miss Jiang II..."

Looking at Censor Jiang and the others, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. Jiang Wanrou was about to step forward to explain, but was stopped by Censor Jiang.

"Don't be reckless. The news from the palace has spread to everyone so quickly. Someone must have done it on purpose."

"It must be that bitch Ling Yueqing. She made me look bad at the Banquet of Heroes and now she's spreading rumors about me!" Jiang Wanrou said gritting her teeth. She didn't even remember that she was the one who spread the rumors first.

"Let's go back first and find out what happened before making a decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, several servants who heard the voice opened the door, came out and knelt down together.

"What are you doing? People are talking about it now. Do you know what happened?"

"Master, at noon today at the Zhan Palace..." the servant recounted what had happened with tears in his eyes, naturally beautifying his behavior and emphasizing the aggressiveness of Princess Zhan.

"I know I was wrong, please spare my life, sir."

"This is not your fault. Get up and go back home."

This was exactly what they wanted. That was why they did not wait for Censor Jiang to return home to talk about it. Instead, they told the story in front of the people at the gate of the mansion and admitted their mistakes.

The bet is that Censor Jiang will not punish them too severely in front of the people, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

But they forgot that there is such a thing as reckoning after the event. As long as their indentures remain in the palace, their lives no longer belong to them.

After entering Censor Jiang's residence, Censor Jiang's expression immediately changed and he winked at the guard beside him.

Several people immediately understood what he meant and covered the servants' mouths and took them away.

Censor Jiang frowned and said, "It's all your fault. It's been a few days since the Heroes Banquet, why haven't you paid them the money yet?"

"I'm sorry, Master. It's all my fault. I was so busy that I forgot."

Censor Jiang wanted to say something more, but looking at Jiang Wanrou's pale face, he thought she was frightened, so he softened his tone a little.

"Have a good rest tonight, and go pay back the money you owe to the Zhan Palace tomorrow morning. Remember to make a big announcement so that others know that we in the Yushi Palace are not the kind of people who don't pay back debts."

After saying this, Censor Jiang flicked his sleeves and left.

Madam Yushi looked at Jiang Wanrou, who was trembling slightly, and asked with concern, "Rou'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother, Yu Liuli..."

"Rou'er, be careful with your words! If you have anything to say, go back to your room and talk." The censor's wife looked around nervously for a while, then she felt slightly relieved. She pulled Jiang Wanrou back to the room and locked the door.

The Censor's wife naturally heard the discussion of the people just now.

So she took Jiang Wanrou's hand and said, "Don't worry, Rou'er, Yu Liuli won't threaten you anymore."

Jiang Wanrou's pale face was filled with fear. "But just now, those lowly people had already guessed that Yu Liuli's disappearance was caused by me. Could it be that..."

"No!" the Censor's wife said firmly.

"Don't panic when there's no evidence."

"But she is not dead, she ran away! What if she comes back to find us? Mom, will I be caught?" Jiang Wanrou's voice was filled with tears.

"What's the use of an orphan with a completely disfigured face coming back? Who can prove her identity?" The censor's wife snorted disdainfully. Her face was destroyed by her own hands and there was no possibility of restoration.

"Rou'er, don't let your imagination run wild. What you need to do now is to have a good rest and restore your reputation tomorrow."

"I understand, Mom." Jiang Wanrou felt much more relaxed after hearing that.

That night, Jiang Wanrou was haunted by nightmares.

As the saying goes, "If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."

Someone like Jiang Wanrou, who has done so many bad things, cannot find peace even in her dreams.

Early the next morning.

There were faint blue marks under Jiang Wanrou's eyes, and she looked a little weak.

The two of them took two thousand taels of silver notes and several boxes of apology gifts and went to Prince Zhan's mansion in a ostentatious manner.

As for the several boxes of gifts, they naturally contained things that took up a lot of space but were not very valuable. They were all for the people to see.

It’s a pity that they had planned everything, but they missed the variable of Ling Yueqing.

Ling Yue heard someone report that the Censor's wife and Jiang Wanrou had arrived, so she excitedly packed her clothes and went out to collect the money.

"Your servant, your servant greets the princess."

"Please stand up quickly. I wonder why Madam and Miss Jiang are here today?"

Jiang Wanrou suppressed the anger in her eyes and spoke in a gentle and aggrieved tone, "Princess, it's all my fault. I have been weak these days, and my father and mother took me to the temple to pray for blessings. I forgot about the two thousand taels of silver I owed the palace."

"It even caused the princess to come to my house to ask for it. It's all my fault."

Jiang Wanrou implied that she had accidentally forgotten it, and Ling Yueqing had come to her house to ask for it, without any bearing of a princess.

As expected, some of the onlookers had already sided with Jiang Wanrou and spoke up for her.

Ling Yueqing cursed in her heart, but asked with a smile on her face, "Oh? That's my fault, I wonder how Miss Jiang is doing now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am fine now."

"I came here today to return the two thousand taels of silver to the princess, and also to give her a small gift to express my apology."
