Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 314

Shen Lingjun's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to take a few steps back, but then she felt that doing so would only make it easier for Princess Pingkang to misunderstand.

She remained calm, as if nothing had happened: "Your Highness, I was just strolling around here when I met the Prince Consort."

Song Yong immediately dropped his infatuated expression and smiled casually at the Grand Princess, "Pingkang, you are the host, why aren't you entertaining the guests in front, but instead you've come here?"

Princess Pingkang's gaze fell on Shen Lingjun's face and paused for a moment.

Shen Lingjun felt her heart leap into her throat.

She didn't know when Princess Pingkang arrived, but Princess Pingkang must have seen Song Yong reach out to pull her.

In this secluded and deserted back garden, a man and a woman alone together, engaging in such intimate behavior, it's hard not to arouse suspicion.

Throughout history, this mudslinging has always been directed at women. People would simply think that Shen Lingjun, a widow, couldn't bear the loneliness and was shamelessly seducing Prince Consort Song. As for Song Yong, a man being charming and debonair has never been a fault.

Shen Lingjun cursed Song Yong in her heart, planning to give him a chance to be drugged and castrated, to see if he could still be a womanizer!

Unexpectedly, Princess Pingkang did not make trouble for Shen Lingjun.

She remained calm, simply smiling as she answered Song Yong's question, "It's tiring dealing with so many people. Come here to rest and have some peace and quiet."

Then she affectionately took Song Yong's arm.

"Come on, come with me to that pavilion over there and have a cup of tea."

Then he turned back and said to Shen Lingjun in a kind tone, "Please make yourself at home, Madam Shen, don't worry about us."

That was the attitude a kind host should have towards a guest, and he seemed to have no ill feelings towards Shen Lingjun.

After speaking, Princess Pingkang took Song Yong's arm and left.

Their intimate and sweet demeanor makes them seem nothing like a middle-aged couple in their forties.

Shen Lingjun: "..."

This was unexpected.

Princess Pingkang has quite the audacity.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If Princess Pingkang hadn't been so magnanimous that she could have turned a blind eye to Song Yong's philandering ways, they would definitely be arguing every day, or even have broken up long ago. It would be impossible for them to still be so loving.

Perhaps Princess Pingkang truly loved Song Yong to the core, which is why she was so tolerant of him. He had many ambiguous relationships with women, but as long as they weren't brought into the Princess's household, she could pretend not to see it.

However, it's good that Princess Pingkang didn't cause any trouble, otherwise Shen Lingjun would really have a headache.

She didn't want to stay here anymore. She should have stayed in the crowded area in front of the garden, where at least Song Yong wouldn't bother her in public.

Shen Lingjun returned to where most of the guests were, and admired the famous chrysanthemums for a while. Princess Pingkang and Song Yong reappeared together.

Princess Pingkang smiled at everyone and said, "Excuse me, I just went to rest for a while."
