After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

"Liu Langyue, it's one thing for you to quarrel with me normally, but today is my wedding day, and you sent a scholar to cause trouble."

Besides, what reason would I have to harm your cousin? You must explain yourself clearly today.

Although my Zhao family is not as powerful as your Liu family, I will still have the Second Prince help me get justice for what happened today.

Zhao Qingrou acted as if she were a victim, looking so pitiful that it evoked sympathy.

"I didn't send this scholar. How dare you mention the Second Prince? Truly, shamelessness knows no bounds."

Liu Langyue looked at her with disdain.

"Liu Langyue, you..." Zhao Qingrou was so angry that she trembled all over and could not speak properly.

"Since you're so eager to let everyone know your true colors, then I'll tell you, you'd better hold on tight."

Everyone knows that my cousin recently came back to life, which was caused by an argument between the two of us.

That day, I took my cousin, who hadn't been out for a long time, out for a stroll. I didn't want to run into Zhao Qingrou, so I left as soon as I saw her.

However, this Miss Zhao would appear in front of me from time to time, and of course, the way she appeared to me was different from how everyone else saw her.

Then we had another argument. "Ha! If I hadn't found the clue, I wouldn't have understood why you kept circling around me that day!"

My cousin was too heartbroken to think about this when she fell into the water. Liu Langyue looked at her with a mocking expression.

"You're talking nonsense. Why would I do that?"

Zhao Qingrou retorted loudly.

"It's because of what happened between you and that scholar. My cousin was just passing through the alley when you injured that scholar."

Suspecting my cousin saw it, you cruelly used me to try and kill her, an innocent girl who was just passing by.

Liu Langyue pointed at Zhang Zhuo, wishing she could go up and slap her a few times.

"Liu Langyue, you're lying, I didn't."

"Second brother, take me down."

Ye Jingyang led Ye Yaoyao down from the second floor.

"Miss Zhao, the green tea girl, we meet again."

"Miss Ye, I did not harm you. Liu Langyue is framing me. Please believe me, Yaoyao."

Zhao Qingrou saw Ye Yaoyao and hurriedly tried to explain.

“I have seen both witnesses and evidence, and I did see someone being beaten when I passed through the alley. You were definitely there at the time.”

Ye Yaoyao walked around Zhang Zhuo several times.

"It really is you." She shook her head and scolded him, "Of all people to like, you had to choose a green tea b*tch, ruining your own future, dragging your parents down with you, and even dragging innocent me into this mess."

Ye Yaoyao looked at him with disappointment, and Zhang Zhuo was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ye, it's my fault that you've been hurt."

Zhang Zhuo lowered his head, his voice filled with remorse.

"I didn't, it really wasn't me." Zhao Qingrou's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked like she was about to collapse.

"Stop that disgusting face of yours that tries to seduce men and make them feel sorry for you."

Liu Langyue glanced at Zhao Qingrou with disgust, then asked Zhang Zhuo:

"Scholar, you two have been secretly dating for a year, there must be some kind of token of your love, right?"

"Yes, it's inside the front of my shirt."

Zhang Zhuo's hands were held by guards. One of the guards searched inside his clothes and found a white bodice embroidered with orchids.

“When we were deeply in love, we couldn’t help but do something inappropriate. Her name was embroidered on this bodice.”

The unfolded bodice was indeed embroidered with Zhao Qingrou's name, and everyone's eyes were focused on it, eliciting gasps of amazement.

"You still say there's no secret affair, but you've already brought out your undergarment."

"Now even if I jump into the Yellow River, I won't be able to clear my name."

"So Miss Zhao is that kind of person."

"I always thought she was pure and lovely, I was so blind."

"She's already cuckolded the Second Prince before she's even entered the house. A woman who doesn't uphold traditional virtues shouldn't be kept, even as a concubine."

"He should be dragged to a pig cage and drowned."

The woman's undergarment was laid out for all to see; she was now considered useless.

Lord Han's face was gloomy.

At this moment, Zhao Qingrou was stunned, her face pale, as if she had lost her soul.

She had asked Zhang Zhuo for it back, but he said he had lost it. Later, she thought Zhang Zhuo was dead, so she didn't take it to heart.

Now that she's finished, there's really no way to explain it.

Aren't rich girls supposed to be very reserved? How come she's so playful, even giving away intimate clothing like a bellyband?

They even embroidered your name on it, as if they wanted everyone to know it's yours! What a pleasant surprise!

Ye Yaoyao was amazed when she saw the token of their love.

"Zhao Qingrou, you still won't admit it?"

Liu Langyue stood with her hands on her hips, looking at her triumphantly, her eyes full of the air of a victor.

She was also surprised to see the bellyband. All the humiliation she had suffered in front of the scheming woman in the past, she was going to get her revenge this time.

That felt so satisfying! He felt incredibly happy and raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly mocking.

"How about we find a palace matron to examine you and prove your innocence?"

Zhao Qingrou's maids and servants all turned pale; even the adults couldn't salvage the situation this time.

At this moment, Zhao Qingrou only thought that she was doomed and the Zhao family was doomed. Hearing Liu Langyue's words, she could no longer suppress the hatred in her heart, and her eyes became crazy and fierce.

"Liu Langyue, it's all your fault! You should die!" Zhao Qingrou, gripping a dagger, charged at Liu Langyue like a maddened beast.

[Host, Zhao Qingrou has a dagger.]

The system informed Ye Yaoyao a moment before Zhao Qingrou took action.

Zhao Qingrou had only taken two steps when Ye Yaoyao ran up to her, kicked her to the ground with lightning speed, and the dagger in her sleeve fell out.

"Little sister, are you alright!" Ye Jingyang was startled. "Tell me if you found anything. What if you got hurt?"

"Don't worry, Second Brother, I'm fine." She reflexively ran over and kicked him!

"Master, Zhao Qingrou brought a dagger with her when she got married. What is she planning to do? Assassinate the Second Prince?"

Lian Jin looked at Qin Jingyu in confusion, only to see Qin Jingyu holding the cup as if he was about to throw it.

He scratched his head, looking confused, wondering what his master was up to.

"Pig brain." He glanced at his subordinate with disdain and silently withdrew his hand.

The people below finally saw Zhao Qingrou's true colors.

"Riding in a bridal sedan chair while carrying a dagger, what are they planning to do?"

"Could it be an assassination attempt on the Second Prince?" a young man boldly guessed, his voice unconsciously rising.

"Are these members of the Zhao family tired of living?"

[System, Zhao Qingrou is carrying a dagger. What is she doing? Could she be a spy sent by someone else to infiltrate the Second Prince's inner circle?]

Ye Yaoyao couldn't understand why someone would carry a dagger on their person before getting married.

No, the Zhao family genuinely wants to curry favor with the Second Prince.

"What is that dagger?" Ye Yaoyao continued to ask.

[Got it, found it! She planned to cut her finger on their wedding night to fake virgin blood.]

"Puff..."

Ye Yaoyao couldn't hold back her laughter and quickly covered her mouth. Her shoulders shook from laughing, and her eyes narrowed into slits.

What did the system say that made the girl laugh like that?
