"I'm sorry for scaring the two young ladies today. I will take care of the Seventh Princess's affairs." Shi Jinyan's expression softened a little, and there was a hint of sincere apology in his words.

Gu Fanchu was stunned. This made her seem unreasonable and she could no longer be angry. But in fact, she was not angry. After all, the origin of this matter also came from her. To be honest, she was embarrassed for ruining Shi Jinyan's reputation.

It’s just that it’s really unpleasant to encounter such a situation.

"Thank you, Master Shi, for your concern. I don't think the Seventh Princess will give up easily, but thankfully you made the necessary preparations."

Gu Fanchu now felt that the people around him had delivered the goods just in time. Since iji had paid for it, there was no need to send it back.

"But...the Seventh Princess is so arbitrarily murdering the children of court officials. Does Your Majesty really not care?"

If Your Majesty truly disregards this, wouldn't that dishearten the court officials? Neither the General's Office nor the Governor's Office will let this matter go.

"Are you sure it was the Seventh Princess who did it? The guards who came to arrest you just now didn't complete their mission, and they will disappear without a trace when they return."

Shi Jinyan saw that Gu Fanchu looked a little unwilling, so he sighed slightly and analyzed the facts to her.

The Seventh Princess has always been ruthless in her actions and she will not leave any trouble for herself.

Yes, the person is missing, how can we prove that it was the Seventh Princess who sent them?

Gu Fanchu felt helpless. If this was really the case, she wouldn't mind taking action herself. She was sure that she could make the princess feel unwell without leaving any trace.

A cold look flashed in her eyes. Of course, she would not tell anyone about this.

"Master Shi, we have been bothering you for so long, it's time for us to leave."

Gu Fanchu didn't want to stay here any longer. Although this man had done her a favor in her previous life, she could make up for it in other ways, but having anything to do with him was not a very beneficial thing, at least not now.

Looking at Wang Yuyan who had recovered on the couch, he went forward to help her up.

"Sister Yan'er, it's time for us to leave. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Only then did Wang Yuyan feel her body slowly regain consciousness. Although she was still dizzy, she at least had some strength.

"I...I'm fine. Let's leave first."

She had just heard the conversation between Gu Fanchu and Shi Jinyan, and knew that it was the Seventh Princess who attacked them, and she only felt a sense of fear.

Her and Chu'er's families were both important officials in the court, and Gu Fanchu was a princess personally appointed by His Majesty. However, she was still beaten and killed at will by a princess, and no evidence could be found against her. It was really ridiculous.

Shi Jinyan did not keep them, but sent Chang Geng to escort the two of them out and head to the front yard from another direction.

After the people left, his aura suddenly became cold, as sharp as an ice knife. He turned around and walked towards the princess's yard again.

In order to prove that she was not there, the seventh princess waited for Jin Yan to leave, and then she went to the eldest princess's meditation room obediently to listen to the monk chanting, but her eyes were wandering and she kept looking outside.

The eldest princess just thought that she was waiting for Shi Jinyan, so she shook her head, sighed slightly, and ignored her, listening to the chanting with peace of mind.

After a while, she heard the sound of steady footsteps. The princess looked over and saw that Shi Jinyan, who had just left, had returned again. His face was frosty and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.

What happened? Wasn't everything fine when she left just now? She looked at Pei Wanling, who was pursing her lips, with doubt in her eyes, and a feeling of uneasiness flashed in her heart.

She had no interest in listening to the chanting anymore and waved her hand for the monk to leave.

"Yan'er, what's wrong? What else have you forgotten?"

When Pei Wanling saw Shi Jinyan coming over at this time, she felt cold and her heart moved slightly. She lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Shi Jinyan pretended not to hear anything and bowed to the princess as a junior. He looked at Pei Wanling with cold eyes and said word by word:

"Seventh Princess, I told you last time that if you remain stubborn and use your status to murder others, you will have to bear the consequences. Since you cannot rest in peace in the capital, I will report to His Majesty and have you marry into the Kingdom of Yu next month."

Upon hearing this, Pei Wanling raised her head and looked at Shi Jinyan's cold face in disbelief, her voice trembling: "You...what did you say? You actually want to send me to marry? How dare you treat me like this for that bitch!"

When the eldest princess heard Pei Wanling's vulgar and vicious words, she frowned unconsciously.

She was quite fond of her niece, because her birth was a happy event for her mother, so her mother favored her more, and she also loved her niece and took better care of her.

She knew that this girl liked Shi Jinyan, and she had asked Yan'er indirectly, but he had no such intention, so she couldn't force him.

She had also heard about what had happened to the Seventh Princess before, but it was just hearsay. The eldest princess did not take it seriously and just thought that the little girl had gone too far in order to win the attention of her lover.

So this time she begged her mother to bring her to Putuo Temple to burn incense, and she also wanted the two children to get along well with each other.

Although I don't know what just happened, but seeing how angry Yan'er was and the fact that he wanted Ling'er to marry, it must be no small matter.

But she didn't expect to see this side of Pei Wanling.

After she got married, she went to the palace less often, but every time she met Ling'er, she always looked well-behaved and lovable, and never showed such a crazy state.

Could it be that she had been deceiving herself in the past?

The eldest princess was very confused.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Princess, I'm not doing this for anyone. You're a princess, respected by the people, and live a life of luxury, but that doesn't mean you can disregard everyone's life."

"Last time, the official's daughter died because of your viciousness. If His Majesty knew that you dared to attack the general's daughter and the governor's daughter this time, they are all His Majesty's right-hand men. What qualifications do you think you have to carry out such a vicious plan against them? And you even poisoned her."

The eldest princess originally had a puzzled look on her face, but after hearing Shi Jinyan tell her what Pei Wanling had done today, her expression changed drastically. She widened her eyes and looked at Shi Jinyan in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.

Turning to look at the woman to the side, Pei Wanling was kneeling on the ground. Her eyes, filled with resentment and unwillingness, made the princess feel a chill. The shock and disappointment in her eyes intertwined, making her expression very complicated.

She looked at the once familiar woman in disbelief, and an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart.

"How dare you? Did you really do it?"

Even so, the eldest princess still held on to a glimmer of hope.

"Yes, so what if I did it? Who made that bitch dare to seduce Brother Jin Yan? She did that and had physical contact with him. She just wanted Brother Jin Yan to marry her! She came to you again, right? I must kill her!"
