The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Anqi stepped into the Hall of Annual Emblems, his expression calm and serene.

All eyes in the hall instantly focused on her.

Ji Changhou narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Unexpectedly, the next second, his eyes widened suddenly.

As if seeing an old friend, the inquiry in her eyes turned into surprise and longing...

Tu Nanjun bit her lip in anger, her eyes glaring as if she wanted to devour Li Anqi alive.

"Greetings, Your Highness; greetings, Marquis Jichang; Princess Ningyang." Li Anqi bowed and greeted them in turn.

Ling Luo put down her teacup, pursed her lips, and said, "Sit down."

Li Anqi sat down on the wooden chair next to Ling Luo, nodded slightly, and looked calmly at Ji Changhou and Tu Nanjun.

"May I ask what business you two have with me?"

Ji Changhou stroked his beard, glanced at Li Anqi, and slowly spoke.

"I have long heard of Lady Chess's extraordinary intelligence, and seeing her today, I can confirm that she is indeed remarkable."

"The reason why I and Nanjun have come here is because some strange things have happened in the city recently, and I have been racking my brains trying to figure them out."

"I have heard that the Chess Goddess is wise and resourceful, so I have come to seek her advice."

Tu Nanjun, standing to the side, gritted her teeth and echoed, word by word, "I hope that Lady Chess will not hesitate to offer her guidance!"

Li Anqi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? Marquis Ji, please speak freely."

Ji Changhou's expression was slightly stern.

"A while ago, Nanjun accompanied Her Highness to the Red Iris Pavilion, where she ran into that lecherous scoundrel from the Zhang family! She almost, almost..."

As Ji Changhou finished speaking, it seemed as if something was stuck in his throat, and his face turned red with anger.

Li Anqi slowly and deliberately straightened her handkerchief, then gently placed her hands on her knees and said solemnly.

"I have heard about that matter."

Li Anqi sighed softly and picked up the new tea that Eunuch Fan had placed on the table.

"Alas, what a pity for the princess, she has suffered such injustice because of Zhang Kang!"

Upon hearing the name "Zhang Kang," Tu Nanjun felt a chill run down her spine, as if by conditioned reflex.

She seemed unable to hold back any longer and suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

"You're lying! It was you who led me to the Red Iris Pavilion. It was you who set the trap and disappeared without a trace, causing me to be humiliated by Zhang Kang in front of the entire capital!"

Li Anqi remained expressionless and looked at Tu Nanjun: "Although you are a princess, you still need to provide evidence for your words. What evidence does the princess have?"

"I heard everything you and your maid said at Chaoyang Temple that day!"

Tu Nanjun suddenly became agitated and complained to Ling Luo.

"Brother Lingluo! Li Anqi is definitely hiding something from you!"

"She said it herself: if this secret were to be discovered, her reputation would be ruined and she would die a horrible death!"

"If she hadn't been cheating on her husband, why would she say something like that?!"

"That's why I followed her!"

Li Anqi smiled gently, "In the end, the princess is still relying on only one person's words, without any evidence."

"Then have you been to Chaoyang Temple?!" Tu Nanjun shouted, pointing at Li Anqi.

Li Anqi remained calm and composed, brushed off the tea foam, and slowly took a sip of tea.

"On the first day of that month, I did go to Chaoyang Temple to offer incense, but I returned to my residence after that. It was not as far-fetched as the princess made up."

"you are lying!"

Tu Nanjun glared angrily, her face flushed red with rage, and pointed at Li Anqi, about to say something to Ling Luo.

"Brother Lingluo, she—"

"That day, I went to Chaoyang Temple with Anqi."

Ling Luo interrupted Tu Nanjun, speaking calmly, her sharp gaze sweeping over Ji Changhou and Tu Nanjun.

"If the princess continues to lie and slander, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Li Anqi paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

Throughout the entire process, Ji Changhou's gaze remained fixed on Li Anqi.

Only after Ling Luo said this did they look at Ling Luo in surprise.

Tu Nanjun was even more incredulous. She choked and stood there, frozen in place, as if she had turned into a stone sculpture.

"How is that possible?! I clearly saw it with my own eyes, it was Li Anqi!"

Tu Nanjun shouted excitedly.
