Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Chapter 45 It was you who did it, wasn’t it? It must have been you!

The third prince just waved his sleeves and left. Naturally, the eldest prince and the fifth prince who came with him could not stay any longer. After all, they came here together and even if they wanted to leave, they had to leave together, otherwise it would not sound good if it got out.

Lu Tingqi really had no way to deal with his younger brother. He could only watch them with a helpless smile and stand up to say goodbye.

"The Third Brother's words are just so unpleasant to the ear. Master Mu and Master Gu, please don't take them to heart. Just pretend you didn't hear them today. We will return to the palace first."

Lu Junli had long been accustomed to his third brother's carefree attitude, so he scratched his head and sighed.

"Yes, yes, yes, you must not be angry with him. There is absolutely no need to be angry, right? Well...we will go back first. There are still many guests in the mansion who need you to entertain them, so there is no need to see him off."

These two said they didn't need to send it off, but how could they really not send it off? After all, they are all descendants of the royal family. Even if they are very angry now, they have to do their best to show their anger.

Mu Fushu nodded lightly without responding to their words. He just stood up and saw them off. He walked all the way to the gate of the mansion and watched them get on the carriage before asking the guests to go back.

After all, many adults also followed him out to see off the guests. Even if he had not yet decided which side to stand on, it would always be a good idea to build good relationships with the princes. Anyway, he did not get too close to them, so no one could find fault with him on the surface.

Who knew that as soon as they entered the main hall of the banquet, they heard several screams. They were real screams, so sharp and piercing that everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the screams.

Even Mu Fushu's expression changed. He raised his foot and walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came from, fearing that something had happened to Ali again.

The direction from which the commotion came was exactly the direction where Ali had just gone with those noble ladies.

Gu Luoheng was closer and walked faster than him. He panicked and didn't care about etiquette and just walked over.

Who knew that several of the noble ladies inside changed their expressions when they saw him coming, and their gazes at him were no longer filled with admiration as before, but with a hint of panic.

He frowned slightly and stopped in his tracks, looking directly at the figure in the crowd and asked in a gentle voice.

"Sister Ziyue, is something wrong?"

In the past, when they were both still young, it was okay to call each other by nicknames, but now that Ali has reached the age of marriage, it is not appropriate to call her by that name. It is more appropriate to call her by her given name, which can also show the closeness between the two families.

Mu Qingli rarely saw him so anxious, so her eyebrows curved slightly, and there was joy in her eyes. She explained to him softly.

"It's okay, just now a few small bugs suddenly jumped over. Sister Chang Yun from the Zhanshi Mansion might be a little scared when she saw them. Don't worry, go back and accompany my brother to help explain.

We can just sit here and chat for a while and nothing will go wrong.”

After hearing these words and hearing her smile, Gu Luoheng knew what was going on. His brows quickly softened and he nodded at her.

"Okay, be careful. Call me if anything happens."

Chang Yun's face was indeed quite pale. She sat quietly at the side of the pavilion, but her body subconsciously hid behind several noble ladies beside her. She kept pressing her hands on her clothes and didn't say a word.

The noble ladies beside her also looked a little unnatural. They sat slightly forward and sideways to block someone, and even the expressions on their faces were a little strange.

Mu Qingli nodded and smiled at him gently to comfort him. She watched him turn around and go back, pulling his brother back to the table to explain before she smiled and lowered her eyes.

Princess Huining was the most prestigious among these noble ladies. She usually didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but at this moment, she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask.

"Chang Yun, what's going on?"

There were also people beside her who couldn't stand Chang Yun and couldn't help but snort and make a sarcastic remark.

"That's right, why are you wearing clothes with broken threads? Your family is so poor now? Why didn't you tell me earlier? We are sisters, how can I not lend you a set of clothes?"

But who knew that after she said this, Chang Yun's face became even uglier. She looked at Mu Qingli with gritted teeth and did not forget to lower her voice.

"It's you! You did it, right? It had to be you!"

As soon as the words fell, there was an eerie silence in the pavilion. Some of these noble ladies knew the truth, some were happy to watch the show, and some had no idea at all. For a moment, all eyes subconsciously turned to Mu Qingli.

Even Princess Huining couldn't help but frown, as if she understood something and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Beijing is such a boring place. Even if you're not in the deep palace, there are conspiracies and schemes everywhere that are really annoying.

Mu Qingli was holding a cup of fruit drink in his hand. He took a sip slowly before putting the cup down and looking over. His eyes were deep and calm, like a cold pond that was daunting.

"I don't understand what Miss Chang Yun said?"

It was clearly Mu Qingli who had her clothes tampered with! She was the one who should have lost face in front of everyone! The plan had clearly succeeded, but how could things turn out like this?

Chang Yun really couldn't figure it out, but the moment her waist was exposed, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that this matter must be related to Mu Qingli.

As soon as she understood, she glared at Mu Qingli with anger. If she hadn't been covering her clothes, she would have pounced on her and tore her apart alive. Her voice became sharp again.

"It's you who did this! How could it be such a coincidence that my clothes got damaged? This is the latest model I bought from Nishang Pavilion! It must be you who did this! You vicious woman, you must have deliberately made me look bad!"

Who knew that Mu Qingli would put down the cup in his hand with a stern face and look at her with a sneer.

"Could it be that I deliberately asked you to agree to work for Hui'an County Master to ruin my reputation? Or did I ask you to bribe the servants in my courtyard to trick me into wearing the clothes you had tampered with in advance?

What about you? You've done a lot of tampering with my clothes. If I had put them on, I'd be completely naked in front of everyone, right? I'm kind enough to consider you weren't the mastermind, so I've gone easy on you. I've only picked a few threads around your waist.

If I were really as vicious as you said, I wouldn't have come forward to help you cover up just now, or I would have just picked a few more threads and imitated you to let you take off your dress in front of everyone, wouldn't that have been better?

You should know what the consequences will be if you take off your clothes in public and are seen by so many people. You can either cut off your hair and become a nun in a temple, or you can hang yourself to save your family's reputation.

But I am loved by my parents. Even if something really happened, they would only accompany me to leave the capital and would never give up on me. What about you? Miss Chang, will your parents give up their official position and reputation just to protect you?"
