The girls burst into laughter, louder than before and with a more obvious mockery.

Although they all disliked competing with them for the Second Prince's Nian Su Su, they also had no good feelings towards Miss Lin who was in the same nest with Wang Yuejiao. The fight between these two was really exciting, and no matter which side won, they were happy to see it happen.

Miss Lin was drowned out by the laughter. Even though she was usually so arrogant and domineering, she blushed with shame at this moment.

She covered her mouth and blew some air into her palm, then she smelled it and found there was no smell at all!

"How can my mouth smell good? Nian Susu, you are lying!" Miss Lin stomped her feet in anger.

Nian Susu clutched the collar of his fox fur coat and laughed so hard that he kept coughing. "Hahaha...yes, your mouth doesn't taste good, but there is food on your teeth."

"Hahaha!" There was another wave of laughter in the cabinet.

Miss Lin covered her mouth in fear. She had indeed eaten mutton-fat chive pancakes for breakfast today, but she had clearly rinsed her mouth with tea before leaving, so how could there be any residue?

Although she suspected that Nian Susu was lying to her again, she could not afford any mistakes when she thought about meeting several princes soon. So she covered her mouth and ran to her good sister, Wang Yuejiao.

Miss Lin grinned, showing her two rows of teeth neatly, and said incoherently: "Jiaojiao, is there really food on my teeth?"

Because she was too close, Wang Yuejiao could smell a strong smell of leeks coming from her mouth. She immediately covered her nose, frowned, and leaned back in disgust.

"No, she lied to you." Wang Yuejiao said this almost with bated breath, praying in her heart that she would leave quickly, otherwise she would suffocate!

Miss Lin knew that she had been fooled again. She was furious and left with her arms swinging.

Wang Yuejiao suddenly exhaled and took big gulps of air into her chest.

I thought to myself: Nian Susu was not lying when he said there was a bad taste in her mouth.

"Nian Susu! Don't go too far!" Miss Lin glared at Nian Susu, her lips pouting so much that a basket could be hung on them.

Nian Susu covered his chest and started coughing again.

Li Yaoyuan rubbed her back and glared at Miss Lin unhappily, "Yes, Miss Lin, don't go too far. Miss Nian is already ill, and you think you are righteous by bullying a patient, right?"

She became furious, and the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for a long time also broke out. "As women, you should know how important reputation is to women. You have no evidence but insist that Miss Nian and the Second Prince had a secret meeting. What's the difference between you and the petty people in the market?

If Miss Nian commits suicide because of this, you will be the murderer!"

The atmosphere in Heming Pavilion became subtle.

The girls didn't dare to laugh anymore. They had their own thoughts in their hearts. Some agreed with Li Yaoyuan, while others were skeptical about Nian Susu.

Nian Susu panted hard, pressed the back of Li Yaoyuan's hand, and said with a faint breath, "I'm fine, don't...get involved in this mess."

Li Yaoyuan lowered her head and found that her lips were frighteningly white. If she hadn't been breathing, she wouldn't have believed that this was the state of a living person.

"Miss Nian, how are you?"

Nian Susu didn't even have the strength to shake her head. The few words she had just said to Miss Lin were like a "last burst of light". Her mind was too heavy to think, and she couldn't even sit still. She just wanted to lie down and sleep.

Miss Lin snorted coldly, "I said she caught a cold last night. She was fine when I saw her during the day. Who knows what shameful things she did at night, and she got her retribution!"

Li Yaoyuan couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up from the stool with a fierce look in her eyes.

Li Yaoyuan is taller than Miss Lin and has a natural advantage.

Miss Lin was being looked down upon like this, and being in a lower position, her aura naturally weakened. In addition, Li Yaoyuan's gaze was indeed scary, so she took a few steps back nervously.

Seeing this scene, the girls were also stunned. Li Yaoyuan was usually gentle and polite to others, spoke slowly and calmly, and swallowed all the grievances she suffered. Why did she show such a cruel side today?

Li Yaoyuan sneered, "Yesterday, because of Miss Wang's unruly and unreasonable behavior, I was slapped for no reason and my clothes were torn. Miss Wang should still remember it, right?"

Wang Yuejiao's face turned pale and she didn't respond.

Li Yaoyuan didn't seem to care about her attitude, and continued: "Miss Nian not only helped me out, but also gave me her fox fur coat. She was still wearing a thin autumn coat, and she sent me back all the way like sitting in the spring breeze. You all saw it with your own eyes."

This is the fact and no one dares to refute it.

"Miss Nian probably caught a cold at that time." She stared at Miss Lin and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Miss Lin, do you still have any questions?"

Miss Lin was so angry that her teeth were itching. She glared at her unwillingly for a long time. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, someone suddenly stood behind her. She turned around and saw it was Wang Yuejiao.

With Wang Yuejiao around, she immediately felt more confident.

Wang Yuejiao looked at the weak Nian Susu and said, "I saw it with my own eyes last night. Miss Nian, you wouldn't dare to take responsibility for what you did, right?"

Nian Susu leaned on Zhihua behind him and managed to sit still. He spoke in a breathless voice, "Miss Wang said that I had a secret meeting with the Second Prince last night?"

"Yes." Wang Yuejiao said proudly, "I think everyone has heard the Second Prince's flute playing, right?"

The girls nodded.

"I heard it very clearly, and it seemed to be near the wing yard."

"I heard it too. The style and playing skills of this flute are very similar to those of the Second Prince."

"Although I don't understand, Miss Li has learned to play the flute. I believe her. The one who played the flute last night must be the Second Prince."

Wang Yuejiao was confident of victory. "Did you hear that? Everyone heard it, and I saw your face clearly. Do you still want to deny it?"

"I didn't meet the second prince last night." Nian Susu replied calmly.

This was not a lie, because the man she was with was Qin Junyu, not Qin Guanqing.

"Of course you don't dare to admit it!" Wang Yuejiao was furious.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the covered bridge. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw four princes led by Qin Guanqing coming over, followed by the maids from Juxiang Garden. The chrysanthemums in their hands were the protagonists of today's chrysanthemum viewing party.

The group entered Heming Pavilion.

"What happened? I heard you quarreling from far away." Qin Guanqing looked around, his intimidating presence evident without him getting angry.

The girls hung their heads in shame.

Wang Yuejiao suppressed her arrogance and bowed with everyone else.

Nian Susu was supported by Zhihua and barely stood up. She sat down again after completing the greetings.

Qin Guanqing immediately noticed that something was wrong with Nian Susu's condition, but he couldn't show his concern too obviously in front of so many people, so he had to look at Li Yaoyuan.

Li Yaoyuan and Wang Yuejiao were at loggerheads, and the tense atmosphere between them was seen when they went up the corridor bridge.

He asked, "Miss Li, what were you talking about just now? It's not because of me again, is it?"

It seems like a joke, but it is actually a hidden threat.
