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

Chapter 671

Shen Lingjun suddenly took a step back.

"who are you?"

The man sneered, "Princess Consort, now that you're enjoying all the riches and honors in the Eastern Palace, have you completely forgotten the vows you made to each other at the manor back then?"

Shen Lingjun: "...What the hell?"

The man moved closer to her, but before he could make any move, a guard rushed in through the window, instantly captured him, and pinned him to the ground.

Shen Lingjun quickly said, "Keep them alive! Take them back for thorough interrogation!"

She was stunned for a moment before she realized that the man was talking about the old lover who made a vow of eternal love in the manor back then. Could it be that the old acquaintance of Cheng Wu?

"Yes!"

Just as the guards lifted the man up, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, and then the room door was kicked open.

"Your Highness! Are you alright?"

A large group of people rushed in through the door, led by the wife of the heir of the Duke of Li, followed by a group of maids and servants.

The wife of the Duke of Li's heir was shocked by what she saw.

"this......"

Shen Lingjun immediately said seriously, "This man disguised himself as a maid in your household and tried to assassinate me. He was captured by my guards and is being taken back for interrogation."

Before she could finish speaking, the man loudly interrupted her.

"I didn't come to assassinate her! I just wanted to see her one more time!"

The man spoke with sorrow, his eyes were red, and he appeared to be expressing his deepest feelings.

"Wu'er, back when you were still on the estate, we had already pledged our lives to each other. You even gave me your body, waiting for me to return and marry you. But when I came back, you had already married into the Seventh Prince's household! ... This was an imperial decree, so I don't blame you. But you can't be so heartless as to have no regard for our past affection, not even showing me a single glance! Have you become the Crown Princess, blinded by this immense wealth, and thus despised me, a mere commoner from the martial world, throwing all our vows of eternal love to the back of your mind!..."

The man launched into a long, wailing tirade, his voice so loud it could probably be heard throughout the entire courtyard.

Many guests who had not yet taken their seats were already alerted by the commotion and gathered around the entrance to watch the excitement.

Everyone was shocked by how clearly the man explained it!

As is well known, the Crown Princess was born into the Lin Yuan Earl's family and was sent to the countryside at a young age, where she grew up on a farm.

It turns out that she had already secretly pledged her life to another man, and had an affair before marriage, thus losing her virginity?

Now, her former lover has come knocking on her door, disguising himself as a servant to sneak into the Duke of Li's mansion, just to see her and tell her about her infidelity.

This is truly a shocking piece of gossip!

Shen Lingjun's bodyguards didn't understand what was going on for a moment. By the time they realized what was happening, the man had already talked a lot. It was too late to shut him up now. In front of everyone, he would only look more guilty.

The guard, bewildered and somewhat flustered, looked at Shen Lingjun: "Crown Princess..."

Shen Lingjun remained calm, simply watching the man's performance with a cold eye.

Before she took Cheng Wu's place, Mo Zhonggui thoroughly investigated Cheng Wu's past and was certain that Cheng Wu had no lover with whom she had a secret engagement at the manor.

This man sneaked into the Duke of Li's mansion and, at the birthday banquet with so many guests, publicly announced their alleged affair, as if afraid that no one would hear it. He clearly wanted to ruin Cheng Wu's reputation!

This man is most likely targeting "Cheng Wu", and there is probably someone behind him instigating it!
