Ling Shumo stood up and walked outside.

Lu Jinshu stared at Ling Shumo's back as it got farther and farther away, while he put on his clothes extremely quickly.

He was an expert in embroidery, and he couldn't be sure whether the pattern on the clothes was embroidered by his elder brother Lu Jinan, but he was sure that the big lotus on the clothes and the pattern on the purse of His Highness (Ling Shujiao) were definitely from the same hand.

Lu Jinshu recalled the origin of this dress. It was the dowry he brought from the Lu Mansion.

The material of the dress is good, but the embroidery is a bit messy.

Lu Jinshu liked the style of this dress very much, so he ignored the minor flaws and often wore it in public.

Assuming that this dress was really made by Lu Jinan, the most likely possibility is that Lu Jinan just took this piece of cloth to practice, and then because he looked down on him, he stuffed this unfinished product into his dowry to humiliate him.

If his assumption is correct, then the real Lu Jinan and His Highness definitely have an unspeakable relationship.

And now he has become Lu Jinan. If Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess wants to get to the bottom of this matter, she can just find someone who is proficient in embroidery to investigate, and the truth will surely come to light.

Even if he explained that he didn't know how to embroider like that, Her Royal Highness would never believe him.

Now he has taken the blame for Lu Jinan and has reached a dead end.

Ling Shumo was almost at the main entrance at this time.

Lu Jinshu finally made up his mind at this moment. He rushed towards Ling Shumo and said, "Your Highness... Your Highness, please stay. I have something to tell you."

Ling Shumo turned around and saw Lu Jinshu kneeling upright at her feet, "Your Highness, please allow me to report that I am not Lu Jinan. Lu Jinan is my brother from the same mother. My real name is Lu Jinshu.

Lu Jinan was unwilling to marry the Princess, and his mother and father felt sorry for him, so they forced me to marry the Princess on his behalf."

Ling Shumo originally thought that Lu Jinshu was here to explain his innocence again, but after hearing what Lu Jinshu said, her originally calm face cracked slightly, revealing a hint of shock.

But Lu Jinshu still hadn't finished, "When I was born, a Taoist priest came and said that the Lu family said that between me and my brother, one of us is destined to be a disaster.

My parents believed that I was the disaster star, so from the moment I was born, I was sent to a farm in the countryside to fend for myself.

If they hadn't asked me to replace my brother in the Eastern Palace this time, they would never have taken me back to the Taifu Mansion in this lifetime."

Lu Jinshu touched his forehead to the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Your Highness is my adopted father and mother. If Your Highness had not changed his mind and agreed to the marriage with the Lu family, I would have died quietly in the manor long ago.

"I am deeply grateful to Your Highness and am willing to go through fire and water for you. Even if Your Highness wants to kill me now, I will gladly accept it. How could I possibly betray Your Highness?"

After a moment of shock, Ling Shumo slowly smiled. She squatted down and helped Lu Jinshu up. "Are all the things you said true?"

Lu Jinshu pointed three fingers upwards, his face full of determination. "I swear to heaven, if what I just said is even a lie, I will be struck by five thunderbolts and die a miserable death."

Ling Shumo's hand gently stroked his cheek, then moved down to pinch his chin.

Ling Shumo studied Lu Jinshu's face, which was as bright as the breeze and the moon, and the smile in her eyes grew even brighter. "Lu Jinshu, you've really helped me a lot. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Grand Tutor Lu is so bold! I really admire her courage."

Lu Jinshu's originally stiff body now completely relaxed.

Thankfully, he made the right bet this time.

After knowing the truth, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess did not intend to pursue his fault. She wanted to use this huge handle to control his mother, Master Lu.

If Taifu Lu were to contradict Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess in the court in the future, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess submitted a memorial to the Emperor, the crime of deceiving the Emperor would be enough to cause a river of bloodshed throughout the Lu Mansion.

Ling Shumo gently held Lu Jinshu's hand, her voice becoming exceptionally gentle. "You've truly suffered a great injustice this time. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this matter and give you a fair outcome."

Ling Shumo's "darling" made Lu Jinshu's cheeks flush slightly, "Your Highness is so kind to me..."

Rumors are as ferocious as tigers. Even if Lu Jinshu was really wronged, Ling Shumo would definitely ignore him or even give up on him in order to avoid gossip from outsiders.

But Ling Shumo's words just now gave him a reassurance.

After all, he is now the important evidence that Tutor Lu is deceiving the emperor.

Before leaving the door, Lu Jinshu whispered his guess to Ling Shumo.

Ling Shumo recalled the eight dancers Ling Shujiao sent over on the day Lu Jinshu got married, and her obviously abnormal drunken state.

At that time, she was still wondering why Ling Shujiao sent so many dancers and did not let them enter Lu Jinshu's room. That was slapping Master Lu in the face in front of everyone.

Ling Shujiao and Master Lu have no grudges against each other, so why should they make things difficult for themselves and create this grudge?

Now that she knew Ling Shujiao's feelings for Lu Jinan, Ling Shujiao's unusual behavior that day became reasonable.

Ling Shumo thought again of what Lu Jinshu said, about Lu Jinan, who is now the second son of the Lu family.

Since Ling Shujiao likes Lu Jinan so much, as her younger sister, she naturally has to help her sister fulfill her wish.
