In this way, not only can he restrain Zhou, but he can also further consolidate his daughter's position.

It can be said to be a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.

If it was before the flowerbed incident, Shen Muxue might have helped Shen Miaoer.

After all, those whom your enemies see as adversaries often become your allies.

Anyone the enemy intends to plot against is often a friend worth saving.

However, after experiencing that identification experience, Shen Muxue saw Shen Miaoer's true nature.

She seems weak and innocent, but in fact she acts to harm others because she is afraid of the pressure from the outside world.

If you easily betray others when you are in trouble, how can you resist temptation once you are at the peak of power?

The best way to deal with such people is to keep your distance from them.

I believe that soon, Shen Leyao will direct a so-called "catching a cheating couple" drama.

Not wanting to get involved in the dispute, Shen Muxue decided to leave first.

There was a sudden noise outside the door.

"Master, please come this way..."

Looking up, he saw several maids supporting the drunk Ling Fan towards the next room.

Shen Muxue's hand stopped on the threshold.

Time does not allow for hesitation any longer.

That's it.

Let’s wait and see.

Not long after, the maid had just helped Ling Fan into the room when Shen Leyao led a group of guests hurriedly to the place.

Seeing everyone coming, the maid immediately pretended to be panicked and said, "Young Madam, please don't go in. Our young lady is... resting now."

This statement and attitude make people suspicious.

The guests immediately noticed something was wrong and started to ask, "If he's resting, why are you so nervous? We're here to look for the prince. Could it be that he's in his room?"

The maid quickly blocked the doorway and replied, "No, she's not here, she's definitely not here!"

Obviously, this explanation is counterproductive.

Shen Leyao ordered: "Get out of the way!"

Unable to bear the pressure, the maid fell to her knees in an instant: "Young Madam, please give us some leniency for the sake of our past friendship. This was not intentional on the part of the young lady!"

After she said these words, she was roughly pushed aside.

Then the door was flung open.

Everyone rushed into the room, and what came into view was the scene of two people standing close together in disheveled clothes.

To be precise, Shen Miao'er was wrapped around Ling Fan without a single piece of cloth on her body, while the latter's clothes were messy but his pants were still intact.

However, in this era, a woman's reputation is more important than her life, and even this is enough to cause an uproar.

Witnessing this, Shen Leyao pretended to be extremely sad: "My dear husband! I can accept your usual behavior, but Miao'er is my sister. How could you do this? Did you have evil thoughts about her, or did Miao'er seduce you? You must give me a satisfactory answer today, otherwise this matter will not end."

Seeing the person coming, Ling Fan, who was originally drunk, suddenly sobered up a lot.

Although he wanted to defend himself, the others present had already been influenced by Shen Leyao's words.

At the same time, in the master bedroom of the other side of the mansion, the scene was completely different.

In the master bedroom study.

A graceful figure appeared and disappeared through the thin and transparent screen.

Marquis Anping was seen leaning against the edge of the soft bed, his upper body half naked and sweaty, caressing the long, soft hair of the woman lying beside him. He said jokingly, "It seems that Prime Minister Shen really doesn't love you enough, which makes you crave my embrace so much."

Hearing this, Jin gently hit him and responded, "I'm just apologizing to you, aren't I? If Yao'er has upset you, I hope you can forgive me."

"If you and your daughter had a bit of wisdom, you wouldn't have ended up like this. You've lost all your face and dignity."

Faced with criticism, Jin could only comfort the other party with sweet words.

For Marquis Anping, there was no shortage of beautiful women around him, and his initial contact with Jin was out of curiosity.

However, this passion gradually faded over time.

Fortunately, Jin is good at catering to and pleasing others.

Since he has taken the initiative to express his love, it is not a bad idea to accept it with pleasure.

I will not allow myself to be harmed in any way.

As they were talking, there was a hurried knock on the door.

A servant hurriedly shouted: "My Lord, there is trouble with the Crown Prince."

Marquis Anping jumped up.

He signaled Jin to be quiet, then opened the door in his outer robe and asked, "What happened?"

"My Lord, it is said that the Young Madam discovered... the affair between the Crown Prince and the Third Young Lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

It’s Shen Leyao again.

Anping Hou's left eye kept twitching.

He thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Ling Fan and the Third Miss of the Xiangfu rarely interact with each other. What exactly is going on here? Explain it clearly."

"Yes, sir."

The servant recounted the entire incident in detail - how Ling Fan got drunk, how he was taken back to the room by others, and how Shen Leyao led a group of people to the wing room and saw the disheveled clothes.

People who are involved may not be able to see the facts clearly, but people outside the situation can see it more clearly.

After listening to the narration, Marquis Anping immediately concluded that this matter must have been planned by Shen Leyao.

He was already unhappy with her, and now he was even more furious.

"How dare this person trample on the reputation of my mansion? Where does he put my son? Allowing him to bring his son into the mansion was already an act of leniency, but now he is even going to continue to defame my dignity. Send someone to capture Shen Leyao. I must deal with this matter immediately."

"As ordered!"

Just as the servant was about to leave, Jin, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Wait a minute."

The sudden sound frightened the follower.

But what made Anping Hou even angrier was the feeling of being disturbed.

Both families are prominent families, and if such rumors spread, it would be extremely disadvantageous to both sides.

He suppressed his anger and ordered his men to wait outside.

He turned around, closed the door, and quickly walked to the couch, angrily demanding, "Look at what your precious daughter has done! Today was supposed to be a grand day for my mansion to entertain guests, but it ended up being a complete mess."

Kim is very clear about this.

Including setting up a plan to seduce Anping Hou was all within her expectations.

Now that the matter is done, she will naturally not allow the situation to get out of control again.

"My Lord, there's no need to be angry. This may not be a bad thing for your family. My little daughter is extremely beautiful and pure. I heard that Ling Fan is recovering from an old injury recently. Perhaps having a girl will help her recover."

This marquis is not clumsy.

He immediately understood the truth and pinched Jin's chin: "So you knew all this, and even colluded with your own children to set a trap? Using your beauty to distract me so that you can act recklessly is truly despicable."

Despite the stinging sensation on her cheek, she smiled and replied, "What are you doing? It's a win-win situation if both parties benefit. Is there something wrong with me just for a little profit?"
