After hearing Jiang Sisi's words, Chi Mu's face became even gloomier and colder. He waved his sleeves and walked towards the backyard.

Fang Mu hid in the crowd and reminded everyone, "Everyone, hurry up and follow them to see what's going on."

These people were young and loved to watch the fun, so they naturally followed in a hurry.

The marriage of Chi Mu and Shen Yuerong had already become a huge focus of public opinion in the capital, and now that they had witnessed such a big drama at the poetry meeting, they naturally did not want to miss it.

Soon a group of people headed towards the backyard.

A group of people came to a corridor and didn't know how to go for a moment. Suddenly, a maid fell to her knees in fear, and Chi Mu began to question her.

"Did you see the princess just now?"

The maid knelt on the ground, trembling, and quickly explained.

"I didn't see the princess and the steward just now..."

Her words seemed to be an attempt to cover up something, but instead confirmed that she had seen Shen Yuerong and the steward.

Chi Mu continued to ask, "Which direction did they go?"

The maid said nothing, but looked towards the moon-shaped archway at the back. Jiang Sisi exclaimed, "There's no one living in the back room. What are they doing there?"

The maid knelt on the ground and trembled and answered: "I didn't see anything. I didn't see them hugging each other."

Her words instantly made those people gasp, and strange looks fell on Chi Mu, as if they were extremely looking forward to Chi Mu getting angry.

Chi Mu's expression did not change at all, he just stood there with a cold look.

After a moment, without saying anything, he walked towards the moon arch.

Beyond the archway, there is only a courtyard in front, which was originally used by Chunxue Villa to entertain guests.

Normally the gate would be locked, but now the gate was wide open, the chain had fallen to the ground, and there were faint sounds of strange movement inside.

Jiang Sisi immediately spoke up to stop the crowd from coming to watch the excitement, "Nothing happened inside, everyone should go back first."

Things are almost in sight, it is absolutely impossible to let these people go back.

Jiang Sisi is just a famous rich girl in Beijing, with no power or influence.

It won't cause too much oppression to them, and this is exactly what Jiang Sisi's purpose is.

She secretly curled the corners of her mouth, but on the surface she still looked worried and defensive for Shen Yuerong.

"The prince is still here, so let's not do this."

When the prince was mentioned, all these people looked at him with some fear and terror in their eyes.

If they really offended the prince, they would be in big trouble.

These people were waiting to see the prince's reaction.

The next moment, Chi Mu didn't say anything, but just pushed the door and entered the courtyard. His attitude didn't seem to refuse anyone to follow in.

The group of people looked at each other, then slowly stepped into the courtyard.

When they entered the courtyard, they saw that the door of the main hall was slightly open, some clothes were scattered on the ground, and a strange voice of the housekeeper came from inside.

Some young ladies in the crowd who were naive could not help asking, "What are they doing? We are here, why don't they come out to meet the guests?"

Some people around her wanted to laugh at what she said, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud.

After all, the prince is still here.

Jiang Sisi stepped forward to stop the young lady and shield her behind her. She just wanted to embarrass Shen Yuerong, but didn't want to implicate other people.

So she looked at Chi Mu and bowed gracefully.

"Your Highness, the princess definitely didn't do it on purpose. She was just confused for a moment."

When Chi Mu heard this, he asked slowly.

"Who are you to say such things here?"

"As for the princess, I will make the decision myself."

Jiang Sisi was frightened by Chi Mu's words and her face turned pale. She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she failed to utter a word.

The atmosphere around was inevitably a little tense. No one dared to speak in the huge courtyard. There was complete silence.

Just when Jiang Sisi was about to faint from shame, a mellow and gentle voice sounded.

"Uncle, why do you have to embarrass Miss Sisi like this? In the final analysis, this matter was a mess from the beginning. The princess was originally a divorced woman, so it was natural that she did something unchaste, but she tried to cover it up."

"I have already persuaded the uncle, it is not too late to turn back now. Shen Yuerong is a restless person..."

The prince suddenly stood up and spoke for Jiang Sisi. She was deeply moved and looked at the prince with sparkling eyes.

Chi Mu didn't seem as dazzling and desirable anymore.

At this moment, she felt that the prince was more outstanding.

After all, not only is the other party the future crown prince chosen by His Majesty, he also has a good appearance and a gentle personality.

The prince couldn't help but observe Jiang Sisi a little longer. She was good-looking and talented. If he married her, it would be good for his reputation.

The most important thing is that Jiang Sisi is good at socializing and scheming. She might be able to help him a lot, and she also hates Chi Mu.

He curled the corners of his mouth, then spoke again in a serious tone.

"Uncle, if you can't bear to face it, then I will do it for you."

The prince strode directly to the door of the room, and just as he was about to push the door open, he heard a clear and pleasant voice.

"What are you doing? It's so lively."

As soon as this voice came out, everyone looked back and saw Shen Yuerong standing there, her clothes intact.

She said with a smile on her face: "What are you all looking at me for?"

Chi Mu curled his lips into a smile, walked slowly towards Shen Yuerong, and put his hand around her shoulders with familiarity.

"Where have you been? Someone just spread a rumor that you were having an affair with the steward."

The people around didn't expect Chi Mu to ask directly, but he didn't look like he was going to settle the score at all.

Shen Yuerong also looked at Chi Mu with tenderness, and smiled while covering the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"This rumor is too outrageous. I already have such a good husband like you, why would I go out and look for another one?"

"What if this is just a hobby between the couple in charge?"

Just as she finished her words, a figure came menacingly from the corridor not far away, followed by many palace maids.

The other party's voice came from far away.

"Who dares to bully my daughter-in-law?"

As soon as she said this, Shen Yuerong slowly turned her head and saluted with a smile on her face.

"Mother, why are you here? I'm fine."

Shen Yuerong's eyes met the peach blossoms behind her and she curled her lips and chuckled.

She was the one who specifically asked Taohua to inform Concubine Xi, just to let everyone see that Concubine Xi still liked her.

Concubine Xi saw that Shen Yuerong was indeed fine and snorted in annoyance.

"Are you so useless? You are still bullied by others. If I tell others about it, I will lose all my face."

"Next time if someone bullies you, fight me back. Don't be polite!"

Shen Yuerong had a smile on her lips, which made her look even more charming and beautiful with her bright and delicate face.

At this moment, Jiang Sisi suddenly spoke.
