The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

She was quite frank and admitted that she was attracted by his beauty, and she admitted it very frankly.

Cheng Yi, who was standing by, also came over, and smiled with a drunken look on her face: "He is indeed very handsome. Even if you go all over Kyoto, you will never find another one as good as him."

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She felt a little numb.

So, are the noble ladies from aristocratic families really like this in private?

My temples are throbbing with pain.

No matter how she looked at it, she didn't think that the little princess was truly attracted to Chen Ziwei.

It is obvious that he was rejected repeatedly and his self-esteem was hurt, which gave rise to the idea of ​​"robbing by force".

Of course I like it, but it is just a superficial liking.

Jiang Lingyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

What is going on? Is this the proud little princess of her previous life, going to risk her entire life just to gamble for a moment of anger?

Even at this moment, Chen Ziwei was less important than the wine cup in front of him, because Huayang just complained briefly and then threw himself into the drinking game again.

The aroma of wine continued to fill Jiang Lingyue's nostrils, arousing her gluttony.

She sniffed, somewhat moved.

Nanny Qian, who was standing behind her, immediately became alert and hurriedly advised, "The scenery in the Princess's mansion is very pleasant. Why don't you take a walk around?"

If she stayed here any longer, her mistress might not be able to hold back any longer. If her mistress really wanted to drink, it would not be good for her, as a servant, to stop her in public.

Jiang Lingyue: “…”

She sighed softly, stopped making things difficult for herself, and stood up.

Huayang was drinking, and when he saw that she was about to walk around the garden, he stood up and wanted to follow her.

Jiang Lingyue waved her hand, "You play yours, I'll go take a look around by myself."

"That won't do. There are many guests in the garden today. This is my sister-in-law's first time visiting me. If I offend her, my brother will probably hold me accountable." Huayang took the handkerchief and wiped his lips, then said with a smile, "I'll accompany my sister-in-law for a stroll."

Upon hearing this, Princess Chengyi also stood up and said, "Then I'll go too."

As soon as she took the lead, several other girls became interested.

So, the group began to tour the garden.

Huayang said, "The maple forest at my house is a breathtaking sight, but there are too many people here today, so it's lost its charm. Sister-in-law, why don't you go to Lingbo Lake in front? It's not far away, and there are still a few lotus flowers in bloom."

It is already late autumn, and it is really rare that there are still lotus flowers to appreciate.

Jiang Lingyue was about to nod when she saw a servant from the princess's mansion walking towards her in a hurry.

Seeing her master, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly reported, "Your Highness, there was an accident at Lingbo Lake. The daughter of Lord Wang fell into the water and had not been rescued when I left."

Princess Huayang frowned slightly. "The viewing platform is fenced off. How could someone have fallen into the water?"

There is a high probability that there is something hidden.

As the host, Princess Huayang's face turned cold when something happened to her guest in her house. "Sister-in-law, come with me to take a look. This is much more beautiful than the twin lotus flowers."

Lingbo Lake was not far away. Not long after walking, I saw more than ten people, both men and women, gathered by the lake, shouting something.

...Look at this situation, the people haven’t been rescued yet.

Although there is no emphasis on sex nowadays, skin contact with a man while wet is still detrimental to a girl's reputation.

Therefore, even if these young masters from aristocratic families can swim, they dare not go down to rescue people easily.

Jiang Lingyue frowned immediately.

In late autumn, how many girls would be better off if they soaked in such cold lake water for such a long time?

She tilted her head and called out "Madame Qian".

As a person appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, Nanny Qian is skilled in martial arts and is also proficient in water.

After receiving the order from her master, Nanny Qian went into the water to save people.

After a while, they pulled a nearly unconscious girl ashore.

Soon, the cloak wrapped around the wet body was carried into the nearby guest house.

The court doctor was summoned to take the patient's pulse.

At this point, Jiang Lingyue had no intention of interfering anymore.

Whatever the hidden secret, she was not curious.

But when she glanced at the girl's pale face, an inexplicable sense of familiarity made her ask Cheng Yi beside her, "Whose Lord Wang's daughter is this?"

Wang is a common surname, and there are several people with the surname Wang in the capital.

Cheng Yi obviously knew her. She sighed and said, "This is the eldest granddaughter of Censor Wang's family."

Censor Wang is famous for his old-fashioned nature.

In such an open atmosphere, he advocated the rules of the previous dynasty and was extremely pedantic.

If the girl fell into the water in someone else's home, they would definitely be frightened and care for her.

The Wang family's words...

Considering the "reputation of women" that Censor Wang always talks about, he would probably send his granddaughter to a temple to become a nun in order to restore the reputation of his family.

When Jiang Lingyue heard her words, she was stunned for a moment.

Wang Wan.

A scene from deep within my memory flashed by.

She looked over at the girl who had already changed out of her wet clothes.

Huayang is asking what is going on.

Hearing this, Wang Wan, whose face was pale, came back to her senses. She looked straight at the crowd and asked in a choked voice, "Mother Yao, why did you push me?"

As soon as the words fell, it was like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, causing an uproar.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

The accused Yao Niang's face changed drastically. "You like to watch the fun and you insisted on moving forward. You even tried to climb and bite people after you fell into the water. You said I pushed you, but what good did I get from pushing you?"

"That's right," echoed a noblewoman nearby who was friendly with Yao Niang. "Everything has to have a motive. Wan Niang, have you been confused by the water? What good could Yao Niang do by pushing you into the water?"

Jiang Lingyue was a little confused, and Cheng Yi next to her was already explaining it very considerately.

"Ms. Wang's marriage was arranged just two months ago. Her fiancé is none other than the eldest son of the Yao family. The wedding is scheduled for early spring next year. In terms of blood relationship, Miss Wang is Miss Yao's legitimate sister-in-law."

"Miss Yao has already arranged a marriage with the Changping Marquis's family and will be getting married soon. Even if she doesn't get along with her future sister-in-law, she would never harm her..."

Cheng Yi sighed softly and expressed his own opinion, "This Miss Wang must have been frightened and scared herself."

Everyone around thought so too.

The two are sister-in-law.

It is neither the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children as depicted in storybooks.

There is no such thing as pulling each other's hair and plotting viciously for a man.

Even if Yao Niang doesn't like her sister-in-law, causing her to fall into the water not only brought shame to the Wang family, but also what good can the Yao family do as Wang Wan's future husband's family.

You can't expect to cancel the engagement just because someone falls into the water, right?

It would be hard to say if it was the previous dynasty, but this dynasty is not so strict on girls.

Moreover, the two families are well matched, and if the marriage is really cancelled, no matter what the reason, there will be conflicts.

Having an enemy in the court for no reason is not a good thing.

From an emotional and logical point of view, Yao Niang had no motive to harm her future sister-in-law.

Wang Wan had been in the water for too long and was just trying to hold on. Seeing that no one believed her, her face turned even paler, and there was even a hint of death in her.

At this time, Jiang Lingyue walked over, sat down beside the couch, and said to her softly: "Anger is harmful to your health. You should take care of yourself first. As for whether the fall into the water was man-made, we can investigate it later."

When everyone was paying their respects to Jiang Lingyue in Juyuan, Wang Wan had already gone to Lingbo Lake, so she didn't know who the person in front of her was.

Hearing this, she smiled bitterly and shook her head: "There's no future. According to my Wang family's precepts, I've already lost my chastity this time."

Her grandfather always followed the words of the "sage" that dying of hunger is a small matter, but losing one's chastity is a big matter as the basis of managing the family.

If she knew that her clothes were soaked in front of so many foreign men...

I will never give up.

Even if I knew she was murdered, it wouldn't change anything.

It will also implicate her mother.

Wang Wan felt despair in her heart, tears fell from her eyes, and she fainted completely.
