Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Shen Li smiled, straightened up, bowed to Marquis Guanyong and the old lady, and said calmly: "Someone is taking advantage of the Marquis's banquet to discredit my mother and my uncle. This person's intentions are extremely malicious. If this plan succeeds, not only will my uncle be ruined, but it will also successfully sow discord between my uncle and the Marquis. Marquis, do you agree?"

Guan Yonghou had a dark face, and a storm was about to come.

"Come here, take this child away and take good care of her. Don't scare her. Find out where her home is, find her brother, and find out what's going on."

"Yes."

"Also, I hope you will all keep what we saw today strictly confidential. If even a single word gets out, I will investigate thoroughly. No matter who he is, I will assume he is an enemy of my Yan family."

After saying this, he glanced at the Second Prince meaningfully.

The second prince pretended not to see it and instead smiled at Shen Li. His smile was the same as when he was having breakfast in the Empress Dowager's palace, looking harmless.

"Miss Shen, it turns out you don't know this child. So, I misunderstood?"

Shen Li also smiled at him, and after laughing, she said, "Everyone knows whether it is a misunderstanding or not. What do you think, Second Prince?"

"No, no, no, I really thought she was your sister. I didn't realize you two didn't even know each other. Look at this, this misunderstanding has become a big deal."

In full view of the crowd, Shen Li pretended not to hear him speak. Instead, she turned around and said to Lan: "Aunt, you are right. Some people are indeed lacking in virtue."

Everyone's hearts were lifted.

Lan and Shen Li both scolded the Second Prince for being immoral in front of so many people. From today on, General Fang Yao of the Cavalry will definitely not support the Second Prince anymore.

Although he did not support him originally, he also did not support the other princes.

After what happened today, even if Fang Yao expresses his opinion in the future, that person will definitely not be the second prince.

After being slapped in the face in public again and again, the second prince's eyes gradually became sinister. He stared at Shen Li and said, "Miss Shen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Shen Li stood up straight and replied coldly: "The same words are for you, the Second Prince."

Tit for tat, and not at all inferior.

Everyone was nervous watching this, but Xiao Chenze was watching with great interest and smiling meaningfully.

Xu Yang said that upon entering the mansion, he was inspecting the surroundings as usual. He passed a secluded rooftop in the backyard and heard someone discussing something. The voices were too quiet to be clear, but he happened to hear Miss Shen telling her to look good and that she would bring him back later, so he paid attention and listened for a while.

Later, two people came out of the house, a servant and a maid, both wearing the uniform of the marquis' mansion.

Xu Yang told Xiao Chenze the news, and Xiao Chenze ordered him to keep a close eye on the servant.

Then, someone threw the little girl outside the mansion. The doorman originally wanted to stop the little girl so that the guests would not see her, but the servant said that the master wanted her to come in, and then took the little girl in. Fortunately, the housekeeper, who had just seen the guests in and out again, saw her and asked a few more questions. Then he quickly ordered someone to call the lady.

The housekeeper saw that the servant looked unfamiliar and asked him who he was.

The servant hesitated for a long time and said that he was from the second wife's family in the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion was having a banquet today and was afraid that there were not enough people, so they asked them to come and help. When the housekeeper heard that this was indeed the case, the servant was able to get away with it.

But he turned around and ran to the remote house to change his clothes, trying to sneak away.

Xu Yang saw that something was wrong, so he jumped in front of him and knocked him unconscious with a knife.

Now that the person has been handed over to Guan Yonghou, I believe that it won’t be long before the truth comes out.

At the banquet today, everyone watched another good show.

The little girl was taken away, and her attempt to throw dirty water on Shen Li's mother failed.

The old marquis and the old lady waved their hands and said that this accident was nothing to our marquis's mansion or the general's mansion, so let's continue the banquet.

The second prince's face was ashen, and he was neither popular nor unpopular.

Shen Li returned to her seat and just picked up the teacup when a maid in turquoise clothes came over with a basin of hot soup. When she put it on the table, the hot soup accidentally spilled on Shen Li.

Shen Li screamed and stood up. The soup was really too hot and she was caught off guard.

Everyone's attention was originally on her, and when she shouted like that, she attracted a lot more attention.

Shen Li herself was also a little embarrassed.

She attended a banquet properly, but problems arose frequently, making it seem as if she was trying to attract attention on purpose.

Forget it, go change your clothes.

The little maid was so frightened that she trembled and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

As soon as he heard that Shen Li was changing clothes, he volunteered to lead the way.

Qiluo had just been called away by Guanyonghou's men to go find the brother of the little girl named Huier.

Since this matter concerns Shen Li, someone from Shen Li must go along to act as a witness to avoid misunderstandings between the two parties.

Only Shisu was left by his side, and he had already gone to get his clothes.

Shen Li followed the maid, and as she walked, her brows furrowed slightly.

This road is a bit remote and there are fewer and fewer people. It should not be a place for female guests to dress up and change clothes.

"Where are we going?" Shen Li was confused and couldn't help asking the little maid.

The little maidservant walked hurriedly in front, as if she didn't hear her question.

Shen Li's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm.

That's not right.

Why is this plot so similar to the plot of the ancient Chinese short plays she read when she was bored?

A noblewoman attends a banquet and has her clothes deliberately soaked. A maid leads the way, taking her to a deserted area, where she is either knocked unconscious or tied up. A man then comes and sleeps with her, but as luck would have it, a large group of people arrive to catch them in the act. The noblewoman is left in disgrace, and the man is either a playboy or a beggar—not a good person.

Shen Li thought as he walked, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The little girl leading the way heard it and felt inexplicably frightened.

After turning a corner, we finally arrived.

It's a small, remote house.

The girl said, "It's too noisy out front. From time to time, there are guards brought by distinguished guests checking everywhere. It would be bad if they accidentally saw the girl changing clothes. It's quiet here, and there won't be any messy people coming. That's why I brought the girl here to change clothes."

"Oh," Shen Li nodded repeatedly, "That makes sense. After all, it's the Marquis' Mansion. That's really thoughtful."

The maid lowered her head and curled her lips in mockery.

Just as she was about to find an excuse to leave, Shen Li grabbed her collar and before she could scream, he slapped her with a palm, and the girl fainted.

After looking around, Shen Li found a large rose bush behind the house. She didn't care whether the thorns on the roses would prick people or not. She found a stick and pried open a hole, stuffed the little girl behind the rose bush, and then closed the hole. The thick branches, leaves and flowers covered the little girl tightly.

With that slap just now, the little girl won’t wake up in two hours.

After doing all this, Shen Li jumped lightly onto the big tree next to the house and then hid among the dense leaves.
