The house was completely burned out and turned into ruins. Chu Wanyu approached and observed.

Hearing sparse sounds, she didn't dare to hesitate and quickly jumped onto a big tree.

A figure walked out of the ruins, carefully observed that there was no one around, and ran towards the courtyard of the Prime Minister's wife with his head covered with clothes.

It was just a silhouette, but Chu Wanyu recognized that it was none other than the Prime Minister's wife, Shen.

"Oh! It seems there really is a secret passage!" Chu Wanyu stroked her chin with interest: "Oh! Wait until I'm fully recovered before exploring again!"

The fire was just an incident and no one cared.

Early in the morning, Chu Wanyu was about to dress up and go to the clinic, but was stopped by someone.

"Look at what you look like. You're getting married, but you're still dressed like this. If someone recognizes you, it will only bring shame to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Shen scolded sharply.

Chu Wanyu disagreed: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"You..." Shen snorted coldly.

The dowry nanny said, "Today, the Shangshu Mansion is holding a flower viewing banquet. I would like to invite you to join us and broaden your horizons!"

"Oh!" Chu Wanyu replied indifferently.

Shen suppressed her anger and said, "I know you have no manners and don't know how to dress yourself, so I'll let Aunt Zhang dress you up!"

Before leaving, Shen looked at Aunt Zhang meaningfully.

Chu Wanyu curled the corners of her mouth and sat there, calm and composed, letting Aunt Zhang dress her up.

When the velvet flower with itching powder was placed on her hair, she suddenly looked up and said, "Mammy, your taste is indeed good!"

Aunt Zhang knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your servant..."

"Alright! It's good that you admit your mistake. If you do it again!" Chu Wanyu casually threw the teacup to the ground, "For example, this teacup!"

Looking at the shattered teacup, Aunt Zhang felt weak all over.

At the flower viewing banquet at the Shangshu Mansion, Chu Wanyu, wearing a veil hat, followed Shen into the flower hall, instantly attracting many eyes.

The news that the engagement was broken off on the spot in front of the Marquis's Mansion had already spread throughout the capital. Although he didn't say it on the surface, he felt very contemptuous of the Prime Minister's Mansion in his heart.

Shen was composed, a smile on her face. "This is our eldest daughter. She's been quiet since she was little. She likes to study medical books and has no interest in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. I was afraid she'd get bored staying in the house, so I finally brought her out!"

What a clever mouth.

The words were a mixture of praise and criticism.

On the surface, Chu Wanyu likes to study medical books.

In fact, it was to belittle her for being unskillful in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and calling her a fool.

"Hey! You've done a great job as a mother! Miss Chu saved the Marquis' wife and is about to marry into the royal palace and become a princess. Her future is limitless!"

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is so lucky. Both of his daughters married into wealthy families. It's all thanks to you, their mother, for raising them well!"

The colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone.

No matter what happens inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A prime minister's wife, a future princess, everyone was very smooth and didn't offend anyone.

Shen was dissatisfied with this, but when she thought of the velvet flower on Chu Wanyu's head, she smiled brightly, "Yes, our Prime Minister's Mansion is lucky!"

Everyone was chatting and chatting, while Shen was counting the time in her heart, waiting to see Chu Wanyu make a fool of herself.

Suddenly, she felt an unbearable itch on her body. She stared at Chu Wanyu with wide eyes, "You..."

"What's wrong with you, mother?" Chu Wanyu smiled brightly. "Are you feeling unwell? Oh, no, mother, you..."

She screamed loudly, startling everyone.

Everyone turned their eyes to Shen at the same time, and were shocked to see her body covered with red spots.

Chu Wanyu pretended to be concerned: "Mom, the red spots on your body are so scary, could it be syphilis..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have spoken out of turn. She immediately covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head at everyone, "Ladies, I just talked nonsense. My mother definitely doesn't have syphilis!"

When he opens his mouth, he is a king.

What he said made his statement even more obvious.

Those who were about to step forward to care for Shen all stepped back, kept their distance, and looked alert.

The itching on her body was unbearable. Shen looked at the disgusted eyes of the crowd and scolded them coldly: "Shut up, you slander my mother, don't you want to live!"

"Mother! I didn't mean it!" Chu Wanyu turned into a whimpering monster, and crying sounds came from under her veil.

"It's you! You must have deliberately harmed me!" Tears welled up in Shen's eyes. "Although I'm not your biological mother, I've been devoted to you all these years. You schemed to destroy your sister, and now you want to harm me..."

The tears came suddenly and the voice was choked, which was very moving.

The ladies present all looked at Chu Wanyu accusingly.

Being surrounded by people, Chu Wanyu remained calm and composed. "Mother is wrongly accusing me. The court has strict laws and all medicine purchases are recorded. If mother has any doubts, I will report to the authorities now to prove my innocence!"

She said this and walked out with a determined attitude.

Shen panicked and stopped them: "No, you are not allowed to report it to the authorities. Do you want to embarrass the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Mother, you wrongly accused me but didn't let me report it to the police. What's the reason? Are you deliberately wronging me?" Chu Wanyu seemed to have been greatly shocked. Her face turned pale and she took two steps back.

"You..." Shen's forehead was covered with sweat, and her expression was strange: "Forget it, I am allergic to something I ate. Go back!"

One wants to report to the police, the other wants to stop it.

Everyone present looked at Shen with inquiring eyes.
