The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Although Aunt Kong was so close to her, her face was full of kindness, Lin Wanru felt as if she was being stared at by a snake or scorpion, and the hairs on her body stood up.

She subconsciously glanced in Lin's direction, only to see that Lin was also looking at her.

Seeing her looking over, a smile appeared on Lin's face with deep pupils, and the curve of his mouth made Lin Wanru shudder.

Lin Wanru paused as she was about to leave and sat back down.

Hua Jie'er told her that she must not alert the enemy and arouse Lin's suspicion, otherwise she would immediately kill the three of them, mother and daughter. She could not leave.

But when she thought of the scene just now, Lin Wanru was filled with panic. Something must have happened.

She glanced around casually and suddenly realized that Princess Pingning had also followed Zhou Lingyi away, and she felt relieved.

Hua Jie'er told her that Princess Pingning was trustworthy, and that Princess Pingning had always been on good terms with Hua Jie'er. With her around, it would be much better than going alone.

Only after figuring this out did Lin Wanru finally feel relieved.

She glanced at Madam Kong standing beside her, her usual smile on her face, and said, "Nothing's wrong. I'm just a little stiff from sitting for so long. I'll be fine after moving around."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Madam Kong nodded and walked back to the corner to stare at Lin Wanru.

-

The cold wind was so strong that it hurt people's faces. Five or six ladies in gorgeous clothes were walking side by side. Except for Luo Xiyao and Zhou Lingyi, there was a hint of dissatisfaction on each of their faces.

A noblewoman murmured quietly, "What a great honor! She's just a merchant's daughter, yet Princess Pingning and I braved the cold wind to come to her."

The noble lady beside her gently pulled her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

Everyone in the circle of noble ladies in the capital city knew that Princess Pingning had a good relationship with the merchant's daughter. A merchant's daughter was not something to be feared, but it would not be worth it if one offended Princess Pingning because of this.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to come." Luo Xiyao said coldly.

The noble lady froze and dared not say a word.

The group walked around the corridors and shuttled through the courtyards. Even though the tips of their noses were red from the cold wind, they did not dare to complain a word.

Just as they reached a courtyard, Zhou Lingyi's maidservant, who had sharp ears, exclaimed, "Miss, there seems to be some movement in this courtyard!"

Luo Xiyao glanced at the maid, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her eyes, and followed her in.

The closer they got to the room, the louder the noise they heard, and a look of unnaturalness and surprise flashed across the ladies' faces.

When they reached the wing room, they heard the unusually loud noise even through the door and window, and everyone's faces turned red with embarrassment.

The moans coming through the crack in the door were getting louder and louder, and one could hear them clearly even if one blocked their ears.

One noblewoman immediately exclaimed in anger, "Who is this shameless bastard who actually does such a shameful thing in broad daylight?"

"Yeah, she's crazy about men. She couldn't wait to do this at the birthday party of the Yongning Marquis' wife!"

The ladies were so angry that their faces turned red, but they didn't know that Zhou Lingyi, who was standing beside them, was hit even harder.

How could Your Highness do this!

Didn’t I say that it was just a casual affair and I wouldn’t touch Shen Qionghua?

But what's with this sound of joy that can't even be covered up by words!

Could it be that His Highness really has a crush on that bitch? !

Even if Zhou Lingyi was ignorant, he knew that the fake play must have become real, otherwise there would not be such a big commotion.

Her heart sank, her face turned pale, and she bit her lips tightly with her teeth. A few drops of blood oozed out and she swallowed them back into her throat.

The string of rationality in his mind was almost broken, but when he saw Luo Xiyao's face that was watching the show, his consciousness gradually returned.

No matter why His Highness had turned his fake play with that bitch into reality, now that things had come to this, she had to grit her teeth and swallow her blood, and help His Highness continue this drama.

Even if Your Highness is really seduced by the beauty of that bitch, when Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, she will only be a small concubine. I must not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains and lose my position as queen.

For now, we should proceed according to the plan, otherwise we will lose both the wife and the army.

Zhou Lingyi rubbed his numb face with his hands. Surprise replaced his feeling, and then a touch of anger. He said bitterly, "Who dares to do such a shameless thing in my Yongning Marquis Mansion?"

She pretended to push the door open, then seemed to have thought of something and said to Caiwei, "Caiwei, go tell my mother and ask her to come as soon as possible!"

Someone on the side thought of Shen Qionghua and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Lingyi, why don't we handle this privately and pretend we didn't see it? Otherwise..."

The noble lady didn't want to say this at first, but her father and Prince An were in the same boat, and if the Yongning Marquis's Mansion was disgraced, it would be disgraced for Prince An, so she spoke out to stop him.

"My dear sister, I know you mean well, but we are both unmarried women, so it's not appropriate for us to barge in rashly. When something like this happens, especially in the Yongning Marquis's residence, it's up to my mother to administer justice." Zhou Lingyi said.

"No, I'm afraid of...your cousin..." the noble lady stammered.

Zhou Lingyi seemed to have just understood the noble lady's implication. His eyes widened in shock and he said, "Impossible! My cousin wouldn't do such a thing! It couldn't be my cousin!"

Zhou Lingyi seemed to have suffered a great shock and fell backwards. Caiwei quickly supported her.

Zhou Lingyi's lips trembled, and he said it was impossible, but he was hesitant and didn't dare to ask Caiwei to go to the banquet in front to call Lin.

Just as the verdict was about to be made, Luo Xiyao spoke up. She angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Qionghua is not that kind of person!"

"Then why are you so vicious, pushing others to death as soon as you open your mouth!"

Being pointed at and called vicious, the noble lady immediately became unhappy.

"When something like this happens, and the merchant girl happens to be missing and can't be found, who else could it be but her?"

Zhou Lingyi's eyes rolled, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed, "Princess, my cousin..."

Luo Xiyao looked furious and said, "I said it's not true, so it's not true!"

Luo Xiyao seemed to be extremely disgusted with seeing Shen Qionghua being smeared, and pointed directly at Caiwei and said, "You! Hurry up and call the Marquis' wife over! I want to see who is inside today! No one should dare to throw dirty water on Qionghua!"

Caiwei looked at her mistress hesitantly.

Zhou Lingyi grabbed Caiwei's hand and choked, "No—"

Luo Xiyao said coquettishly: "Hurry up and go! How dare you disobey the orders of this princess!"

Caiwei finally listened to Luo Xiyao's words and went to the banquet hall in front.

The faces of the noble ladies all looked unhappy. Zhou Lingyi looked sad, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Come on, come on, the more people the better!

She wanted to see how that bitch would have the face to see people after today!

Zhou Lingyi looked at Luo Xiyao, who looked like she wanted to clear the bitch's name, and wanted to laugh out loud.
