At the plum blossom appreciation poetry gathering, the young ladies vied for attention, composing poems, playing musical instruments, and painting, each showcasing their unique talents.

Seeing that it was almost time, the eldest princess gave a wink to her maid.

The maid secretly retreated and walked to the outside of that room. Without even putting her ear close, she could hear the sounds coming from inside, and hurriedly ran over.

She panicked and ran while shouting, "Princess, Princess, something terrible has happened!"

All the young ladies and gentlemen across the pond looked at the maid, and many even stood up.

The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Zhu Dan, and Lu Xiaoyun, who were on the second floor, naturally heard the sounds coming from this side as well.

The eldest princess, upon seeing that it was her maid, frowned and said, "What kind of behavior is this, shouting and yelling! Tell me quickly, what happened?"

The maid's face turned pale, and she pointed tremblingly in the direction she had come from: "There, there, I heard, I heard..."

"I'll go take a look, you all continue." The Third Princess hurriedly interrupted her, knowing without a doubt what kind of trouble her good elder sister was planning to cause on her turf. She then asked the maid to lead the way.

"What did you hear? Speak up!" the eldest princess immediately shouted. "Speaking so haltingly, do you not want to keep your mouth shut?!"

How could she let her third sister take the person away like that? If she did, her plan would be ruined.

The maid, who was acting on the princess's orders and was one of her people, dared not disobey: "This servant... this servant was just passing by that side room when I heard a couple doing... doing that..."

The young ladies turned pale. Although the words were said subtly, how could they not know what a man and woman were doing? But this was going too far. This was in the Third Princess's residence. Weren't they afraid of the Third Princess's wrath?

Moreover, with so many people here today, if these young masters were to return to their residences, the fathers and brothers of that couple would surely be impeached.

"They...their voices are quite loud, Your Highness, Third Princess, perhaps we should go and check on them, lest something happens." The maid, following the eldest princess's instructions, lowered her head and finished speaking with a flushed face.

The third princess was furious when she heard this. She looked at her eldest sister and saw her smiling. She was enraged.

This is her Third Princess's residence. She doesn't care what her eldest sister does, but why choose today, and why in her residence!

She said angrily, "Take me there. The rest of you stay here and don't wander off."

The eldest princess was not about to let this go: "Third sister, you can't say that. Today, all the guests are young ladies from prestigious families and sons of officials. What if one of them causes trouble? How will you explain it to their fathers and brothers?!"

"You! Eldest sister, this is a matter of my household, you'd better not interfere."

The eldest princess ignored the third princess's attempts to stop her and went over with her entourage.

The third princess was so angry that her teeth ached, and she followed behind her resentfully.

The male guests only heard the maid shouting "Something's happened!" but they didn't hear clearly what had happened. There were too many female guests, and the young ladies whispered among themselves, so they drowned out the maid's report.

Seeing the eldest princess leading her entourage towards the back courtyard rooms, some nosy male guests followed.

The eldest princess and her entourage arrived at the door of the side room in no time.

The sounds inside were so clear: the woman's moans accompanied by the man's heavy breathing and the loud sounds of impact. Just by listening to the sounds, you could tell how intense the situation was inside.

The group of young ladies hurriedly took several steps back, their faces flushed red.

The eldest princess angrily swept her gaze over everyone: "Who on earth did such a filthy thing in there?"

A young lady immediately said, "It seems that Princess Zhenguo is not here. She left two quarters of an hour ago and has not returned."

"Yes, where is the Lord of Zhenguo County?"

"Who's looking for me?" Zhu Yu's slow, deliberate voice rang out from behind the group.

The eldest princess blurted out, "What are you doing here? Weren't you...?"

She pointed at the door, then suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly withdrew her hand.

"Why can't I be here, Princess? Where should I be? Why does the Princess look so disappointed? Do you think the woman inside should be me? Why would you think that? Could it be a trap you set?"

A barrage of questions left the eldest princess bewildered: "Me, Lu Xiaoyun, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I, the princess, do such a thing?"

As long as it wasn't Princess Zhenguo, the Third Princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Someone, open the door."

An old woman stepped forward and pushed open the door. Inside were two bodies entangled together, locked in a fierce battle. They were completely unaware that the door had been opened, clearly indicating that they had been drugged.

Everyone was so frightened that they covered their eyes, then peeked through their fingers again. Tsk tsk, so shameless, so disgusting.

So exciting!

The third princess trembled with rage. She immediately noticed the burning incense on the table, covered her mouth and nose, and ordered the old woman, "Put out this incense, separate these two, and bring them out!"

Several burly old women came in, first extinguishing the aphrodisiac incense on the table, and then forcibly separating the man and woman who were entangled together and refused to separate.

It was unbearable to look at. The woman's body was covered in red marks, and the man's obese body still looked like he hadn't had enough, grabbing the woman's white thighs and refusing to let go.

The old woman had no choice: "Third Princess, we servants can't separate them."

The third princess was so angry her face almost twisted: "If you can't separate them, why don't you knock him out!"

"He is Xie Yun, the son of Xie Jijiu."

"Knock him out!" the Third Princess shouted.

Upon receiving the order, the old woman picked up the teapot on the table and smashed it against the back of Xie Yun's head. Xie Yun's head tilted to the side and he fell onto Lu Jinmi.

The old women finally separated the two and then roughly dressed them.

Then, a basin of cold water was poured over her head, and Lu Jinmi slowly regained consciousness. When she saw that her clothes were disheveled and there was a fat man lying next to her, she remembered everything and burst into tears.

The Third Princess stepped forward and slapped her across the face: "You little slut, how dare you cry! Who gave you the audacity to do such a despicable thing in my residence!"

Lu Jinmi's whole body ached, but compared to the Third Princess's slap, that was nothing. She kowtowed desperately, "No, Third Princess, I've been framed. Please, Third Princess, do justice for me, sob sob..."

"Who, who harmed you!" As long as she says it was the eldest princess, she will definitely invite the imperial grandmother and mother over. The eldest princess can do whatever she wants in her own residence, but she can't let such a dirty thing be brought to her third princess's residence.

"Yes, it was Lu Xiaoyun! She pushed me in here! That vile woman harmed me, Third Princess, I beg you to do justice for me!" Lu Jinmi kowtowed desperately, her face covered in tears.
