Chen glared at Lin Shu and said, "You, keep talking!"

"After the young lady hugged me, she said she had been a widow for a year and was extremely lonely, and begged me to have pity on her."

"I was soft-hearted for a moment and accepted the young lady's request. I know I was wrong!"

After saying that, Lin Shu slapped himself hard.

The crisp sound of applause echoed in the huge hall.

“You, you, you…”

Song Yan'er pointed at Lin Shu, her heart beating faster and faster with anger, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

On the other hand, Shen Ningyuan remained calm and composed.

It was as if the young lady of the Ji family that Lin Shu was talking about was not her.

Seeing Shen Ningyuan had no reaction, He Yunshu couldn't help but frowned.

Even with all the dirty water thrown on her head, Shen Ningyuan remained so calm.

Could it be that she has something else to rely on?

Forget it, no matter what she relies on.

Since she's in my hands now, I have to skin her alive.

Who said...she is Cui Jin's daughter!

Thinking of this, He Yunshu turned her gaze to Lin Shu and asked, "You just said that the young lady of the Ji family gave you a sachet. Are you carrying it with you?"

Lin Shu nodded quickly, "I brought it!"

Then, she took out an exquisitely embroidered sachet from her lapel and held it above her head.

She said in a trembling voice, "It was the young lady who threatened me that I must carry the sachet with me. I dared not disobey, so I always carry it with me!"

After hearing this, Chen immediately rushed over, raised her hand high, and pretended to slap Shen Ningyuan.

"You bitch, do you even take my son seriously?"

The slap didn't fall for a long time.

Shen Ningyuan raised her hand and grabbed Chen's wrist.

The voice was cold and gloomy, "Madam Ji! In the Pepper Palace, the Empress is the most powerful. How can you have the right to take action?"

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan shook off Chen's hand with force.

Chen staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He Yunshu also didn't like Chen's noisy look, so she didn't scold Shen Ningyuan, which was considered as her tacit approval of her behavior.

Then he winked at the nanny at the bottom of the stairs.

The nanny nodded, walked over, took the sachet from Lin Shu's hand, turned around, walked up the steps, and handed it respectfully to He Yunshu.

He Yunshu picked up the sachet, looked it over, and saw a flying kite embroidered on the lower left corner of the sachet.

"Hmph!" He Yunshu snorted and threw the sachet to the bottom of the stairs, "Chen Ningyuan, what else do you have to say?"
