World 1:
Ning Wan: "I am a princess, the princess of Anping!"
Looking at the teary-eyed Ning Wan, who was crying miserably, Shen Jingyi sighed, lifted her chin, and lightly bit ...
After knowing the identity of the people in this room, the people who were originally prepared to watch the show and mock them all huddled at the back, fearing that they would be implicated.
Although as a prince, Jun Yan cannot have only one woman by his side, but this is the Shangshu Mansion. Even if Jun Yan is here because of the Chinese medicine, it is not easy to explain.
"What do you think? If the Third Prince's incident today gets out..."
The person hiding at the back couldn't help but start gossiping, but before he could finish his words, someone next to him covered his mouth.
"Shh!"
"Are you going to die?"
The man looked at the person who was about to speak with a bit of shock in his eyes and said, "Don't be stupid. We can only pretend that we didn't see or know anything about what happened today."
The person who was about to mutter something suddenly shut up, but then seemed to remember something and spoke with a hint of doubt:
“Since the Third Prince is in this room, where did Shen Jingwen go?”
“Isn’t this the wing where Shen Jingwen rests?”
The people traveling with me: “…” I really don’t want to talk.
It’s hard to tell whether this person is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid!
But as the saying goes: let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate.
He wants to die and doesn't want to live. There is really no need to drag them along. They still have a long way to go in their good days and don't want to die for the time being.
The butler who was originally in the front hall hurried over, looked at the people standing in front of the wing room, and quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:
What kind of thing is this? Although I know that the third prince cannot be devoted to my young lady, he shouldn't be so desperate as to accept anyone, right?
Moreover, Shaoyao has always been an honest and well-behaved child. How could she possibly drug the Third Prince in an occasion like today? She is really stupid!
The housekeeper was very fast and brought it to the door in a short while. Looking at the young lady who was doted on by everyone in the mansion, he said softly, "Don't worry, young lady, the master will be here soon and will not let you get angry."
Li Manqing nodded slightly, obviously not wanting to say more.
The housekeeper sighed upon seeing this, but could only stand obediently at the door.
But at this moment, another brainless person spoke up: "Butler Li, do you know where Shen Jingwen went?"
"He drank too much at the banquet and should have been resting in this room, but now he's nowhere to be seen. Could he have lost his way or encountered something?"
Li Manqing frowned slightly, looked back, and recognized that the person who spoke was the son of the Minister of Works - Wen Qing, the fourth child, born to his concubine.
He has no ambitions and his favorite thing to do is to hang out with those playboys.
Li Manqing looked at Wen Qing, who was pulling the housekeeper to inquire about Shen Jingwen's whereabouts, and asked sideways: "Master Wen Si seems to be very concerned about Master Shen. Do you two know him?"
No matter what, Jun Yan is still her fiancé, and he is still in the residence originally given to Shen Jingwen to rest. Wen Qing always asks about Shen Jingwen's whereabouts. It is hard to guarantee that people will not connect these things together.
She didn't care what happened to Jun Yan, but if it damaged the reputation of the Shangshu Mansion, she would not turn a blind eye.
Wen Qing: "Miss Li misunderstood, I don't know this Mr. Shen, but I met him today and felt like we were old friends. I just wanted to get to know him and make friends."
The discussion gradually arose, and the crowd who were originally watching the show became more excited.
The housekeeper also reacted at this time, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Mr. Shen has left the house, and he left with Miss Ning."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, but no one said a word.
Li Manqing thought of Ning Wan's departure, and her eyes instantly fell on Ruolan who was following behind her, and her tone was slightly cold:
"Ruolan, didn't you say to send Miss Ning to the wing?"
"What's going on?"
Ruolan had already panicked when the housekeeper told her the truth. She knelt almost subconsciously upon hearing the words, "Please forgive me, young lady. When Ruolan took Miss Ning to the pavilion, she insisted on resting there."
"Miss Ning is the guest you specially invited. Ruolan really couldn't say much. After pointing out the location of the wing room, she returned to report to the young lady."
"Miss, everything Ruolan said is true. Please forgive me!"
Ruolan nodded as she spoke.
Seeing this, Li Manqing's brows relaxed a little and she sighed: "Forget it, you can get up now."
It seemed that Shen Jingwen had discovered something strange in the room, but he couldn't say much, so he just walked around. Unexpectedly, he ran into his fiancée, so he took her away.
Li Manqing didn't think much about it. After all, in her eyes, Ning Wan was just a girl in the boudoir. She definitely didn't expect that someone would attack her fiancé on this trip.
It's just that Jun Yan clearly wanted to plot against Shen Jingwen, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to fall into the trap...
"cough--"
Minister Li arrived late and coughed lightly, but his furrowed brows showed that he was not in a good mood.
Yes, such a scandal happened in his house, and the person involved was his daughter's fiancé. How could he have a good face?
At this time, Jun Yan finally put on his clothes and walked towards the door.
Li Manqing looked at her fiancé whom she had only met a few times. Her hands hidden in her sleeves tightened quietly, and there was a hint of coldness in her brows.
"Since Your Highness has nothing else to do, Manqing will not accompany you."
Just as Jun Yan was about to pull the person back and say a few words, he felt a sharp gaze falling on him. He subconsciously turned around and saw the smiling tiger-like Minister Li - Li Gu.
Li Gu did not ask, but directly asked: "Your Highness, could you please come with me to the study to have a chat?"
Jun Yan tightened his grip slightly, looked at Li Manqing's back, and finally nodded.
"That's great, butler. Do you still remember how to punish a maid in this mansion for doing something like this according to the rules of our mansion?"
The steward beside him heard this and sighed silently in his heart: "He should be beaten to death with sticks to serve as a warning to others."
What a bad fate! How could I do such a stupid thing?
No one dared to plead for the person in the house. The officials' sons and daughters just stood aside and watched coldly. No one cared about the life of the maid in the house.
"Since that's the case, why don't you have them drag him out and execute him in public? This will prevent others from taking chances and breaking the rules in the future."
The crowd outside the wing room naturally did not dare to stay any longer. Before the maid in the room was dragged out, they all found excuses. Just as they were about to leave, Li Gu spoke again:
"Wait."
"Please don't be anxious, everyone. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. I ask that you, for the sake of your acquaintance with His Highness and my daughter, please refrain from spreading this matter."
Upon hearing this, all the officials' sons and daughters nodded quickly. A leader stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Please rest assured, Master Li. We only attended Miss Li's birthday banquet today and don't know anything else."
Li Gu nodded in satisfaction, looked at the group of young people in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and said softly: "Butler, please send the guests away."
