The banquet began. The emperor looked around and asked subconsciously after seeing Shen Yanfeng.

"Is there anyone taking care of Lord Shen's youngest son at home?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng immediately stood up and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. There is someone to take care of my son, and everything has been arranged properly."

Since Shen Yanfeng's son was born, he only held a full-month ceremony and has not appeared in public since then.

The emperor symbolically asked several other ministers, and then the banquet officially began.

Jiang Sujin kept her head down while eating. There were many rules in the palace, so she naturally had to be cautious.

Su Jinyue looked at Jiang Sujin who kept her head down and felt that she must be feeling guilty, which made her suddenly feel that her chance had come.

This time, she was determined to bring her down.

An hour later, Jiang Sujin finally couldn't help but want to go to the bathroom.

After she and Caiyue got up and left, Su Jinyue hurriedly whispered to the maid beside her.

The maid nodded, and then repeated her master's words to Xiao Shian exactly as they were said.

When Xiao Shian heard that Jiang Sujin wanted to ask him out, he instantly became excited.

However, when he thought of Shen Yanfeng, his whole body began to tense up uncontrollably.

If Shen Yanfeng gets crazy, he will really be beaten to death.

But...his longing for Jiang Sujin had really reached an irreparable point.

He really liked her, after all, she was so beautiful. He also firmly believed that she still had feelings for him, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to ask him out. As long as he asked for her forgiveness, he might be able to be her lover in the future.

After thinking of this, he immediately stood up and went out.

When Shen Yanfeng noticed Jiang Sujin leaving, he couldn't help but frown.

Especially when he saw Xiao Shian also going out, his face instantly darkened.

After a moment, Shen Yanfeng went out with a sullen face.

When Su Jinyue looked at Shen Yanfeng's back, she knew that her plan had succeeded.

She certainly would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime moment, so she stood up and walked out quickly.

Xiao Shian quickly came to the toilet, waiting for Jiang Sujin to appear.

As soon as Jiang Sujin came out, she saw Xiao Shian waiting for her at the door.

"Susu~"

Jiang Sujin looked around quickly and found that she had nowhere to escape, so she simply retreated back to the toilet.

She calculated with her fingers that Shen Yanfeng would definitely show up soon. Rather than being caught in the act, she would rather die of stink.

"Susu, why did you go in again?" Xiao Shian stood at the door, not knowing how to react for a moment.

At this moment, Shen Yanfeng suddenly jumped down from the air, scaring Xiao Shian so much that his eyes widened instantly.

"Shen... Lord Shen~"

Shen Yanfeng approached Xiao Shian with a sharp look in his eyes and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Shian looked at Shen Yanfeng with a pale face and said, "I...I want to go to the bathroom."

Shen Yanfeng: "But who did I hear you talking to just now?"

Xiao Shian: "No...no, I was just talking to myself."

Shen Yanfeng glanced at him coldly, then looked towards the toilet entrance.

Just then, Su Jinyue also appeared.

She thought she would see an exciting scene, but unexpectedly she only saw Shen Yanfeng and Xiao Shi'an staring at each other, with no trace of Jiang Sujin at all.

It was impossible for Jiang Sujin to go back so quickly, not to mention that she didn't meet her on the way here.

Shen Yanfeng took a step back and looked around again.

When he saw Su Jinyue, Su Jinyue immediately explained with a guilty look on her face: "Cousin, I... I came to the toilet."

When Jiang Sujin heard Su Jinyue's voice, she immediately realized that she must have been involved.

Su Jinyue said she was going to the toilet, so she naturally didn't dare to lie, so she hurried into the toilet.

"Ah~ Cousin, why are you here?" Su Jinyue's voice was full of surprise and pride.

"What do you think?" Jiang Sujin glanced at her, then walked out, covering her mouth and nose.

When she came out and saw the two of them, she immediately pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, so it's really my husband?"

Shen Yanfeng frowned and looked into her eyes, trying to see if she was lying.

Xiao Shian glanced at Jiang Sujin and suddenly became even more nervous.

"Master Shen, this is just a coincidence."

Shen Yanfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Sujin and said, "We even bumped into each other when we went to the toilet. This coincidence is really puzzling."

Jiang Sujin blinked her eyes: "It is indeed puzzling."

What else could she say? She felt clear-headed.

"Cousin, everyone knows that you and Young Master Xiao had an affair. Now this coincidence seems like it was an agreement made in advance." Su Jinyue came out of the toilet at some point.

Jiang Sujin: "Who would make an appointment with a lover and meet him at the door of a toilet?"

Su Jinyue: "My cousin's wife must want to take us by surprise. This way, even if someone finds out, she can find an excuse to cover it up."

Jiang Sujin: "If you insist on saying that, then I have no way to defend myself."

Xiao Shian: "Sir Shen, I really didn't mean to look for the young lady. Please believe me."

Su Jinyue: "Now that things have come to this, Master Xiao might as well tell the truth. Maybe Lord Shen will not pursue your fault because of your honesty."

Xiao Shian: "I...I..."

He stuttered and looked at Jiang Sujin.

When Jiang Sujin saw this, she felt something was wrong. It was obvious that Su Jinyue came prepared.

Su Jinyue: "Mr. Xiao is the son of the Prime Minister. Naturally, he would not disregard his status and seduce a married woman."

"It must be that my cousin's wife still has feelings for Mr. Xiao, so she took the initiative to meet with him."

Xiao Shian: "Yes, yes, someone did tell me that she would be waiting for me here, so I came here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanfeng immediately looked at Jiang Sujin.

Jiang Sujin looked at him and blinked: "Normal people come to a place like the palace and are very cautious in what they say and do. They are afraid of breaking the rules and thus bringing disaster upon themselves."

"I, Jiang Sujin, am not a lady from a famous family. I know that I don't know many rules, so I am even more cautious."

"Under the circumstances, I am content as long as I can avoid causing trouble for my husband's family and my own family."

"How could you meet a stranger in a place like this and then dig your own grave?"

Su Jinyue: "Is that because you have a secret affair with him?"

Jiang Sujin: "A private affair? He ruined my reputation and brought shame upon me for the rest of my life. I am already being merciful if I don't curse his ancestors for eighteen generations."

When Xiao Shian heard this, his face instantly turned ugly. He didn't expect Jiang Sujin to change her heart so quickly.

Jiang Sujin: "Anyway, that's all I can say. As for whether you believe it or not, that's up to you."

Shen Yanfeng: "Why do you think I will believe you if you say this?"

Jiang Sujin: "Because those who are innocent are innocent, I didn't do it, and my heart is clear, so there is no need to explain further."

Shen Yanfeng looked into Jiang Sujin's eyes and saw that there was indeed no trace of panic in her eyes. This inexplicably dispelled the doubts in his heart.

Su Jinyue: "Cousin, Young Master Xiao has admitted it, so this matter is set in stone. I advise you not to be stubborn."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sujin immediately looked at Su Jinyue and said, "You are watching this excitement at the right time. If someone doesn't know, they would think you planned everything in advance!"

Su Jinyue couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this: "Cousin, you have to have evidence when you speak, and you can't just accuse others casually."

Jiang Sujin: "As an outsider, you seem to know more about this than me, the person involved, and you have been guiding Xiao Shian to throw dirty water on me."

Su Jinyue heard this and said unnaturally: "Mr. Xiao has admitted it, what else do you have to quibble about?"

Jiang Sujin: "He admitted it? He made up a reason, so I have to admit something I didn't do?"

"How stupid am I to have a secret meeting with a man outside my husband's eyes?"

"I think you two are working together to ruin my reputation so as to achieve your hidden goals."

Su Jinyue: "I didn't!"

Xiao Shian: "I didn't make it up, and I won't harm you. Someone really told me that you were waiting for me here, and asked me to come to the meeting."

Jiang Sujin: "Then find that person right now. I want to confront her face to face."

Xiao Shian: "Look for it, I'll go find him now." Xiao Shian turned around and walked back, but after only two steps, he fell back again.

"This... this person just told me to come to your appointment."

Jiang Sujin saw him pointing at the servant beside Su Jinyue, which made her couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"Oh, so that's it!"

Su Jinyue looked at Shen Yanfeng with a pale face and explained: "Cousin, this Mr. Xiao is talking nonsense, you can't believe him."

Master Xiao: "I'm not talking nonsense. I clearly remember that the maid had a mole on her face."

The maid was so frightened when she heard this that she fell to her knees on the ground: "Please spare my life, my dear, please save me~"

The maid suddenly confessed her guilt, which made Su Jinyue's face become even more panicked.

"Cousin, I...I just want to test my cousin's wife."
