Zhao Qingyao fell into the lake while drunk?

Everyone's face changed drastically, and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo rushed out: "My Yaoyao..."

"You're in trouble." Old Madam Shen glared at Ye Qinghuan angrily.

Concubine Yu stood up and said, "There are many guests today, and all the guests outside are men, so everyone should not go out to join in the fun. Let me go and take a look."

"Yes."

Everyone sat in the banquet hall, waiting for news, suppressing their curiosity.

Everyone thought that Zhao Qingyao lost her balance and fell into the lake because she was drunk, and Ye Qinghuan, who got Zhao Qingyao drunk, was the murderer.

Originally, everyone came to the banquet to build relationships with their families. Ye Qinghuan grabbed the limelight as soon as he arrived, which made some people unhappy.

Now that something bad has happened, some people are gloating over it: "Oh my God, nothing will happen to Miss Zhao, right?"

"Alas, Miss Zhao has always been steady, but she acted like this today because she was drunk!"

"What should we do? Miss Zhao is the apple of the Duke's eye and has just been engaged to the Third Prince..."

"..."

Old Madam Shen was afraid of being held accountable, so she scolded Ye Qinghuan: "It's all your fault! What should we do now? The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is fine, but how can we afford to offend the Third Prince?"

Ye Qinghuan's eyebrows twitched, and he tightly gripped the wine glass: "Miss Zhao was helped out by a maid. Could it be that three people fell into the water together?"

"You mean..." Old Madam Shen suddenly realized.

"Mother, the matter of Fengming Pass is related to the Zhao family. If the Zhao family members try to scam you, you must hold your ground." Ye Qinghuan reminded in a low voice.

Old Madam Shen's face changed drastically.

Not long after, Concubine Yu came back with a smile on her face. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo followed her beside her, smiling awkwardly.

"Everyone has misunderstood. The one who fell into the water was not the eldest Miss Zhao, but the second Miss Zhao." Concubine Yu said with a smile.

Madam Shen breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye Qinghuan reminded her: "Mother, pay attention."

"Miss Zhao is a concubine's daughter, so she is not afraid..."

"relatives by marriage."

Just as Old Lady Shen was relaxing, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo came over to call her in-laws. She immediately became nervous again: "What does the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo mean by this?"

"Thanks to General Shen's help, otherwise my second daughter would be gone." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo wiped her eyes in a pretentious manner and continued, "Now I have asked the Concubine Dowager to decide on a date to send Qingju to the General's Mansion as a concubine."

"!!!"

Ye Qinghuan sneered in his heart: So, this is Zhao Qingyao’s ultimate goal!

Madam Shen suddenly felt constipated: "This, this is not appropriate..."

"They have already had physical contact. If the general does not accept her, Qingju will have no choice but to shave her head and become a nun." said the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Old Madam Shen looked at Ye Qinghuan in embarrassment: Aren't you the best at speaking? Speak quickly!

"Mother, from now on we will be relatives of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion." Ye Qinghuan smiled gently, "Madam, where is the second young lady now?"

"He was frightened and has been sent home."

"That's a pity! I still want to meet Sister Qingju!"

"We can see each other tomorrow, no rush."

"Okay, as the principal wife, I will prepare a gift for you when you come in."

"..."

Ye Qinghuan and the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo had a very pleasant conversation and neither of them was unhappy at all.

Old Madam Shen was going crazy and tugged at her sleeve: "Are you crazy?"

"Mother, I will have a younger sister to take care of you in the future." Ye Qinghuan smiled as if he was preparing to take a concubine.

Concubine Yu only felt that this woman was tolerant and generous, and had the demeanor of a mistress.

But taking a concubine right after the wedding was unfair to her, so she said, "Qing Huan, what happened today was God's will, don't blame Lin Er."

"No, the general is a good man." Ye Qinghuan shook his head. "No matter who falls into the water, the general will go down to save them. Fortunately, it is the unmarried Miss Zhao Er. If it was someone who was engaged or married, it would be troublesome..."

There was silence.

If it was Zhao Qingyao who fell into the water today, the Third Prince would definitely come looking for Shen Lin with a knife.

But why did the Duke of Zhenguo bring his concubine's daughter to attend Concubine Yu's birthday banquet?

"Alas, although my second daughter is a concubine's daughter, she has been raised by my side, just like my own daughter. When I brought Qingyao to the banquet today, I saw her crying alone in grievance, so I brought her along as well. I told her not to offend the nobles, but I didn't expect that she fell into the water when I didn't keep an eye on her..."

The explanation given by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo seemed nothing more than a coincidence to the savvy people at the scene.

But the thing had already happened, and Concubine Yu had decided to make Zhao Qingju a concubine, so there was nothing more for everyone to say.

Some kind-hearted people wanted to sympathize with Ye Qinghuan, but they found that the real person behaved flawlessly.

"Okay, okay, let's not let a little thing ruin everyone's mood. Let's continue!" said Concubine Yu.

Everyone was chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.

Madam Shen was extremely angry, but she still had to keep smiling.

"Madam, the general is looking for you." Chunyan reported in a low voice.

Ye Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and followed her out.

After passing through the corridor, I finally saw Shen Lin. He had changed his clothes, but his face was livid.

Seeing Ye Qinghuan coming, he became even more angry: "Why didn't you stop it?"

"General, you have a new guy. Aren't you happy?"

"Can't you see I'm angry?"

Shen Lin gritted his teeth, and never had the thought of tearing off Ye Qinghuan's gentle professional smile.

"If the general doesn't like the newcomer, then just don't accept him."

"Everyone is watching, the Concubine is the one who made the decision, and you agreed, so how can you refuse?"

Seeing that he was really angry, Ye Qinghuan put away his smile and asked, "General, what do you think of today's incident?"

Shen Lin said angrily: "Do you still need to ask? I was plotted against. The Zhao family wanted to plant a spy around me."

"Did the General hear about me getting Zhao Qingyao drunk?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

"Everyone knows your ability." Shen Lin rolled his eyes at her. Aren't you afraid of consuming poison after drinking so much alcohol?

If he wasn't worried that Zhao Qingyao might have drowned due to drunkenness, he wouldn't have jumped into the water to save her.

Blame her!

"Don't worry, General. I won't let the Zhao family get what they want."

"What can you do?"

Shen Lin's expression finally eased, and he added angrily, "Anyway, I don't want to take a concubine."

"The reason why you don't accept me today is simply because the general doesn't like me. There will always be new people in the future." Ye Qinghuan teased.

Shen Lin rolled his eyes at her: "Was my wife an elephant in her previous life?"

"Ok?"

"With such a broad mind, if he were born a man, he would have become a prime minister."

"Pfft-"

Ye Qinghuan was amused.

Shen Lin snorted: "You haven't told me yet, what method it is."

"If you believe me, General, don't ask any more questions."

"Okay. But, Ye Qinghuan, I'm warning you, if you can't get rid of Zhao Qingju, I will never return to the general's mansion in this life." Shen Lin threatened viciously.

Ye Qinghuan shrugged.

Shen Lin looked embarrassed.

She never cared where he was, and this reason didn't threaten her at all.

Heart plug!

"Think about your antidote!" Shen Lin walked away angrily.

Chunyan asked anxiously: "Madam, do you really want to take a concubine for the general?"

"No. The General's Mansion does not tolerate spies." Ye Qinghuan's face turned cold, "Take Feng Yu to find someone tonight who can stop Zhao Qingju."

"Who?"
