The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Wu Chen glared at him warningly and told him to be careful with his words.

Nie Jing was not afraid either, and asked directly provocatively, "Why? Are you afraid that your princess will know the true face of your prince?"

Shen Yu was speechless at his obvious attempt to sow discord, "You don't want to tell me that Xue Zhenzhen is having an affair with our prince, do you? Our prince really doesn't like that kind of stuff."

"Tsk, so that's why you're stupid. You're not going to marry her. Men are just playing around with her. Does it matter whether she likes you or not?" Nie Jing looked as if he was disappointed in his wife.

Then he rolled his eyes and continued, "Let me ask you, why would Xue Zhenzhen, a legitimate daughter of an earl, risk her own reputation to slander your husband? Did she publicly confess her love to your husband? Did she hint that they had been at Xinghualing... um? Did she also mention that they had a tryst in the Moon Viewing Tower for ten years? I'm not even mentioning the rumor that Xu Yaying had been obsessed with him for ten years. Do you really believe him? You followed him to Zhuocheng so foolishly. Didn't you ever think about what if he wasn't the right person for you?"

Shen Yu didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about what he said.

“How dare you!!!” Wu Chen was anxious. Although he knew that what he said was all lies, he saw that the princess didn’t say anything. He stammered, hesitating whether to help explain. He sneered at these rumors when he heard them, but now Nie Jing cited them one by one in front of the princess. Wu Chen’s face instantly turned black, because he found out…

In fact, it seems that their prince’s reputation... should... maybe... is not that good?

Wu Liu, who was outside the door, stared at Nie Jing coldly, and his heart was alarmed. Could this person have some idea about their princess? No way! Should I send someone back to tell the prince?

Shen Yu didn't know that while she was thinking, the two people behind her had already thought of several big dramas. When they finally looked up, they said something that made them dumbfounded, "I think... is she deliberately slandering her reputation? It would be best if she could marry our prince, but even if she can't, she doesn't have to marry someone she doesn't want to marry? So she did this on purpose, but why? What does this have to do with you?"

The three people in the room were very surprised. Nie Jing didn't react immediately and directly said what he was thinking, "Don't you suspect that Prince Zhuo has an affair with her?"

Rolling his eyes at him, Shen Yu said unhappily, "You are too low-level. Do you want to alienate me and my dear husband? Forget it!"

Wuchen Wuliu was satisfied. Nie Jing looked at him with a smug look and said with gritted teeth, "If your third uncle knew that his only niece was so easily deceived by Little Prince Zhuo, he would definitely be so angry that he would drink a few more pots of wine!!"

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and heard the key point: Little Zhuo Wang? He also drank with his third uncle?

"It seems that you are very familiar with Prince Zhuo and my third uncle? Don't tell me that you don't just know old Prince Zhuo... Could it be that the person that my third uncle saved was actually you... Could it be that you are the big boss?"

"Hey! How is it possible! Nonsense!" Nie Jing's scalp numbed by her stare, and he said with a guilty look, "What old King Zhuo, who knows him! I know your uncles, I just want to help them test you. If you can't even see through such a situation, and you don't even have the ability to protect yourself, how dare I tell you that they are not dead? Isn't this harming you?"

Shen Yu couldn't deny that what he said made sense, but seeing him change the subject so abruptly, he became more certain of his guess and was too lazy to continue talking to him, "Just tell me, am I wrong in my guess? What's going on with that woman Xue Zhenzhen?"

Nie Jing suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he said, "I didn't lie to you... What I said that day was basically true. I did sell my house and brought my wife here for treatment. But after the first treatment by the doctor in the temple, we settled down in the town. The doctor in that clinic is a famous gynecologist, so I have been buying the herbs for your prescriptions there."

Shen Yu nodded. She had suspected before that it was a problem with the medicinal materials.

"Just two days before the follow-up visit, Xue Zhenzhen also checked into this clinic, saying that she was here for a free consultation. Originally, my follow-up visit was scheduled for the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, I know that you only accept new patients during holidays, but my wife's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse during those days... Xue Zhenzhen took the initiative to offer to give me the free consultation number for tomorrow, saying that seeing that my wife was not in good condition, she was willing to give me the number for tomorrow's visit. Although I had my doubts at the time, I definitely didn't want to miss it if my wife could see the doctor one day earlier, so I paid for it directly... The next day, she said that she would go to pray on the way, so she took us there in a horse-drawn carriage. As a result, the monk named 'Jingkong' stopped us in front of the temple. The two of them sang the same tune and told me about the closure of the temple and you... At that time, my wife was close to coma, and there were too many people in front of the temple. I had no choice but to return to the clinic..."

He paused for a long time and continued, "I never thought that this would be a game against you and me. That night... my wife's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, and she passed away not long after..."

"I know Madam's physical condition very well. She would never get into any sudden trouble. But ever since Xue Zhenzhen showed up, her condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse. It was my carelessness that caused Madam's death..."

Shen Yu looked at him sympathetically and wanted to say something, but she felt that no matter what she said, it would seem pale and powerless. From a factual point of view, what he said was not wrong... Watching him take a deep breath, she suddenly had an illusion that this powerless person was the real him, and the person who usually joked with her was a disguise.

"After settling Yang'er, I took the initiative to join the game, pretending that my wife and children were dead, and acting crazy, just to see who wanted to kill me..." After saying that, he looked up at Shen Yu, his cold eyes making her back chill.

"I originally suspected it was because of the Su family... because you are the only descendant of Master Su, and I even thought Xue Zhenzhen was instructed by the Queen Mother, but her actions seemed like those of a normal person... I just went along with the incident in the dark alley, and also wanted to test whether your abilities were worthy of my trust..."

Hearing this, Shen Yu looked alert, "What are you entrusting me with? I'm just a weak woman, I don't know anything!"

"Oh! Although I don't know why Xue Zhenzhen came to me, and even if this incident didn't happen, my wife would not live long, but Shen Yu... This incident was caused by your Zhuo Palace! You owe me, do you acknowledge it or not?"

Before Shen Yu could speak, Wu Chen spoke first with a serious face, "If it is confirmed that it is really the palace's responsibility, our prince will bear the responsibility, and the consequences have nothing to do with the princess!"

Nie Jing ignored him and just stared at Shen Yu. His eyes were like a dark pool, making it impossible to tell the depth.

Shen Yu sighed. Although he had guessed his wife's illness to be almost certain, it was true that there were no conditions for surgery in ancient times. Even if she came for a follow-up visit, the most he could do was to tell the master the cause of her illness...

Besides, she had already guessed what he was going to entrust...
