May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Wen Tianming was completely baffled, so he simply stopped thinking about it and turned to walk towards the crowd.

Meanwhile, Lu Chengyuan, after being kept behind by Wen Tianming for a few words, couldn't find Wen Yuanshu anywhere.

Lu Chengyuan clicked his tongue.

The secret guards are not allowed to enter the Prince's mansion, so now he can only rely on himself to find it slowly.

Lu Chengyuan started walking, cursing Wen Tianming in his heart as he looked around for someone.

Wen Tianming was oblivious, but he sneezed several times in a row. Finally, he touched his nose and thought about putting on a couple more clothes tomorrow.

The Qin Prince's Mansion was very large and magnificent, with exquisite carvings and paintings everywhere.

If the front yard is like this, one can only imagine what a paradise it must be in the back yard.

The two were tired from walking, so they sat down on a stone bench under the shade of a tree by the water.

“I heard that this mansion was specially renovated for the purpose of getting married,” Ren Man said. “It is said that Consort De devoted all her attention to Prince Qin, and that is certainly true.”

Wen Yuanshu looked at her in surprise: "How do you know so much?"

"How could I know that?" Ren Man said helplessly. "My husband heard about it from outside and told me."

In the past, when Wen Rang was sick, listening to news from outside was a form of entertainment, and over time it became a habit. So even now that he is fully recovered, he still has people walking around the streets of the capital to report back any interesting news. She only overheard it casually.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu nodded and said nothing more.

A breeze blew across the lake, carrying a slight dampness that felt very pleasant.

Surrounded by close friends and with a panoramic lake view before her, Wen Yuanshu finally relaxed, a rare moment of ease breaking the tension that had gripped her since entering the Prince's residence.

However, Wen Yuanshu had only relaxed for a short while when a voice rang out from behind her: "Madam Lu, what a refined taste you have."

She is the Princess Consort of Wei.

In an instant, Wen Yuanshu's heart tightened again.

She and Ren Man rose together and curtsied to the Princess Consort of Wei.

Princess Wei took a few steps closer to the two of them, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light: "Why is Madam Lu here alone? Where is Commander Lu? Isn't he always by my side?"

Ren Man looked at Princess Wei, speechless.

Is she not human?

Or is it that Princess Wei's eyesight is so bad that she can't even see a living person like her?

However, no matter what, the Princess Consort of Wei never looked at her.

Princess Wei stared intently at Wen Yuanshu, like a vicious wolf.

In response, Wen Yuanshu curled her lips and said, "If the Princess Consort has something to discuss with Lu Chengyuan, I don't know where he is. The Princess Consort has come to the wrong place."

Princess Wei's expression changed.

What does she want with Lu Chengyuan?!

She thought it in her heart and said it out loud.

Wen Yuanshu's smile remained unchanged: "As soon as the Princess Consort arrived, she asked about Lu Chengyuan. I thought the Princess Consort had something to discuss with Lu Chengyuan."

Princess Wei chuckled and shifted her gaze from her to the lake in front of her.

“I noticed Madam Lu was sitting here the whole time. Does she really like this lake?” Princess Wei suddenly asked.

Wen Yuanshu did not speak.

It's just a lake, what's there to like or dislike?

Seeing that Wen Yuanshu ignored her, Princess Wei was not annoyed and continued talking to herself: "I heard that one year... oh, when Madam Lu was still Madam Pei, she attended a palace banquet and fell into the water. I thought Madam Lu would stay as far away from the water as possible, but I didn't expect..."

Princess Wei glanced at the distance between Wen Yuanshu and the water's surface.

It's just a few steps.

Surprisingly, they actually dared to stand by the water.

Wen Yuanshu smiled, seemingly unaware of anything amiss in her words: "You can't be afraid of a rope for ten years just because you were bitten by a snake once, can you?"

"So it seems that Mrs. Lu can swim now?"

A barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the Princess Consort of Wei.

Wen Yuanshu shook her head: "I don't have time to learn."

Hearing this, Princess Wei smiled.
