It turns out that Hua Xiang is the illegitimate daughter of the Minister's family. She has been in love with the Fourth Prince Lan Feng since childhood and dreams of marrying the dashing Fourth Prince. When she heard the news that the Fourth Prince was going to get engaged to Hua Yu, Hua Xiang was furious. That's why she sent her maid Xiao Gu to keep an eye on Hua Yu and report on Hua Yu's progress with Lan Feng.

"Damn it, didn't I have people spread rumors that Hua Yu is a dull and dull young lady from an official family? Why doesn't the Fourth Prince believe it!" Hua Xiang twisted her handkerchief, pursed her lips angrily, and stomped her feet in frustration.

Meanwhile, Hua Yu was still dancing with rapt attention. Lan Feng watched Hua Yu swaying gracefully and praised her repeatedly, clapping his hands in amazement! "Miss Hua is indeed a talented woman, skilled in both singing and dancing. Seeing her today is truly astonishing!"

Hua Yu wiped the sweat from her forehead. The fragrance emanating from her was exceptionally intoxicating. Suddenly, the value on the panel increased by 5 points. "Congratulations, host. The target's favorability towards you has increased by 5 points. I hope you can accumulate points well and complete your revenge plan as soon as possible."

"You little brat, I'll get you no matter what. My charm is unmatched," Hua Yu muttered to herself.

At this moment, Hua Xiang quietly came out from the back mountain and walked towards the lotus pond.

Host, that's the illegitimate daughter of Minister Hua. She's one of the instigators who caused the female lead to fall out of favor with the prince. You'd better be careful.

After hearing Xiao Zha's notification, Hua Yu understood most of it. It turned out that Hua Xiang was the one who was sabotaging Hua Yu's reputation behind her back, which caused the female lead to die in depression.

Hua Yu touched the Truth Pill in her sleeve, and an idea came to her. "I've got it! I have to get this illegitimate daughter to tell me what's on her mind."

Hua Xiang swayed and leaned towards Lan Feng, saying, "Fourth Prince, I am Hua Xiang. I have long admired your name, and seeing you today, I can confirm your extraordinary handsomeness!"

The strong scent of rouge filled Lan Feng's nostrils. Looking at Hua Xiang's lovely face, with tears in her eyes as she looked at him, a sense of pride welled up in the man. Who doesn't like to be admired by a woman?

Hua Yu rolled her eyes as she watched the two of them flirting, wondering how she should deal with them.

Hua Xiang reluctantly turned her gaze to Hua Yu and said softly, "Sister, I've heard that lotus seeds are most delicious in summer. Why don't the three of us go to the lake to pick lotus pods together?"

He then arranged for the maids and servants to prepare two small boats: one for Xiao Gu, Hua Yu, and Hua Xiang, and another for the Fourth Prince and his guard Leng Er.

Xiao Gu and Leng Er were in charge of rowing the boat. Hua Yu, Hua Xiang, and the Fourth Prince Lan Feng all began to admire the lotus flowers. Hua Yu, wanting to watch the show, wondered what tricks Hua Xiang would play.

"Sister, this lotus seedpod is the biggest, help me pick it," Hua Xiang said, walking towards the stern of the boat where Hua Yu was sitting. Hua Yu saw through Hua Xiang's scheme, and with a push of her foot, the boat suddenly rocked. Hua Xiang lost her balance and fell into the lotus bushes, crying out, "Your Highness, save me!"

With a splash, Hua Xiang fell into the water. Hua Yu didn't hesitate and jumped in, pushing Hua Xiang underwater. In the chaos, he chopped at Hua Xiang's neck and stuffed the Truth Pill into her mouth.

A short while later, Hua Yu, with Hua Xiang's arm around her, surfaced. Xiao Gu, who was beside her, had already arranged for servants to bring cloaks for the two young ladies. When Minister Hua arrived after hearing the news, he was heartbroken to see his two daughters in the water and immediately asked the servants what had happened.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, it was the Second Miss who invited the Eldest Miss and the Prince to pick lotus pods in the lake. The Second Miss was about to get up to pick lotus pods when the Eldest Miss deliberately tripped her and she fell into the lake. I beg Your Excellency to investigate thoroughly," Xiao Gu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, begging Minister Hua not to blame her.

"Hua Yu, how can you, as the eldest sister, be so presumptuous and bully your younger sister? If anything happens to your sister, I will hold you accountable!"

The servants hurriedly escorted the two young ladies back to their rooms. Seeing this, the Fourth Prince also bid farewell to the Minister.

Upon exiting the gates of the Minister's residence, he instructed Leng Er, "Go and investigate what Hua Yu usually does at the Hua residence. I need to know her movements clearly and protect my betrothed."

Over here, the unconscious second young lady slowly woke up, and Minister Hua asked, "Xiang'er, how is she? What exactly happened?"

Just as Hua Xiang was about to slander Hua Yu, she suddenly couldn't make a sound. After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly spoke again: "Father, I deliberately wanted to fall into the water so that the Fourth Prince would save me. I like the Fourth Prince so much. My sister is innocent. Please, Father, don't punish my sister."

After hearing what she had said, Hua Xiang's face was full of disbelief. I didn't mean to say that Hua Yu pushed me into the water so that I couldn't compete with her for the Fourth Prince. Why would I plead for her? What did Hua Yu do to me?

Xiao Zha, who had activated his remote-view vision, slowly relayed Hua Xiang's perspective. After listening, Hua Yu laughed so hard she almost fell over, "Haha, haha..."

"Little scum, you know, that Hua Xiang is really overestimating herself. She even tried to play tricks on me. She's still too green."

"Host, someone on the roof is watching you."

"Who?"

"Leng Er, a subordinate of the Fourth Prince, is a secret guard. He is highly skilled in martial arts and his lightness skill is also first-rate. Be careful."

"Why is Leng Er watching me? Could it be that Lan Feng has noticed something's wrong with me and has fallen for me? Little scum, how much affection does Lan Feng have for me now?"

"You've accumulated 10 points! You're 89 points away from 99. Keep it up, host!"

"What kind of mission is this? It's not fun at all. Can I peek at Lan Feng taking a bath? Otherwise, I've come to ancient times for nothing. Such a handsome man in ancient style, even if he's a scumbag, it doesn't stop me from appreciating his good looks, right?" Ruan Quan fantasized with a face full of infatuation.

"Host, you can choose the remote X-ray vision function. You can use 2 points to exchange for items. Please confirm whether you want to use it?"

"Sure, I'd like to take a good look at this stunning beauty."

With a flash of light, Xiao Zha's transparent panel revealed a bathtub. The scene was shrouded in mist, showing a smooth, sculpted V-line, bronze skin, strong shoulders, cascading black hair, deep-set features, and a straight nose. The only difference was the presence of a black mole on the nose. This was the Fifth Prince, a prince raised on the frontier, and the twin of the Fourth Prince. Ruan Quan, admiring the handsome man's stunning good looks, hadn't noticed this detail. Xiao Zha seemed to have noticed the problem and felt a little guilty, afraid to switch the screen for fear of angering its irritable host.

At that moment, the Fifth Prince, who was taking a bath, suddenly sneezed. "I don't have a cold, so why did I sneeze for no reason? Could it be that someone has discovered my presence?"

The Fifth Prince was raised on the frontier since childhood. After his mother died in childbirth, he hid in the military camp, leaving only the Fourth Prince, Lan Feng, in the capital. In order to hide himself, the Fifth Prince changed his name to Ning Yuan. His real name was Lan Yun. He had not returned to the capital for eighteen years and had been following his uncle, Ning Guo, to guard the frontier.

At this time, a report came from the capital that the Fourth Prince was going to arrange a marriage and invited his maternal uncle to return to the capital with the Fifth Prince to celebrate.

"I wonder if this trip back to the capital will bring good fortune or misfortune!" General Ning said.
