Jiayi still dressed up in her best clothes to attend her elder sister's flower-viewing banquet. At the banquet, her elder sister changed her usual spoiled image and was very considerate and thoughtful, which made Jiayi feel that she had mistaken her for someone else before.

Her elder sister even specially arranged for her favorite foods to be prepared, which made the other princesses laugh and say that her elder sister was truly generous.

Jiayi thought to herself, "Could it be that they're using her as a scapegoat to gain a good reputation? Otherwise, she wouldn't be of any other use."

Seeing that her elder sister really didn't mean anything by it, Jiayi gradually felt relieved. Then she drank some wine. She rarely drinks, and now she felt a little dizzy, so she thought it would be good to go out for a walk.

She told her elder sister and then left.

She left with a personal maid, and she didn't intend to go far. There was a pavilion next to an artificial hill in the backyard, where she planned to rest.

Then, quite by chance, he ran into Hong Yu, who had gotten his cousin's pavilion.

Hong Yu is a smooth talker. He met Jia Yi before, and since Jia Yi is pretty, he couldn't resist teasing her a couple of times, which made Jia Yi both angry and embarrassed.

So when Jia Hui brought the other princesses over, they saw the two of them flirting.

Jia Hui's tears immediately welled up, and she asked incredulously, "Sister? Cousin? What are you doing?"

Upon hearing the sound, the two realized their predicament. Jiayi exclaimed in terror, "Sister!"

Hong Yu: "Cousin"

Jia Hui cried and said, "You...you..."

I'm so heartbroken.

The princesses who accompanied Jia Hui were also puzzled by this. They had all heard that the legitimate daughter of the Hesheli family was having an affair with her cousin, but it turned out that the cousin was secretly meeting with his half-sister, which was truly shocking.

Jia Hui reluctantly saw off all the princesses who came to admire the flowers, and then ran to her mother to cry and complain, saying that she would not get married and that it was really making her angry.

Her mother was also very angry when she found out. She never expected that the girl who was usually so soft-spoken and easy to bully would turn out to be a dog that bites when it matters. How could she not be angry?

Hong Yu didn't know what was going on, but he didn't take it seriously. It was just that he ran into his cousin's half-sister and they exchanged a few words.

When Jiayi saw her elder sister's expression, her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "Oh no, it seems there's been a misunderstanding. What should I do?"

Jia Yi lived in fear and anxiety with her aunt, while Jia Hui cried and complained to her mother. Her mother felt more and more that Jia Yi was a bad person, and wondered why she hadn't killed her back then!

The day after the incident, Jia Yi's legal mother naturally had plenty of ways to torment a concubine's daughter. First, she made her kneel in the small ancestral hall, and then she was put in solitary confinement and forced to copy scriptures.

After two days of this ordeal, Jia Hui seemed to have figured something out and said to her mother, "Mother, please don't punish Yi'er anymore. I know my cousin's temperament. He probably provoked Yi'er first. I've thought it through. I won't marry my cousin. It's not like I'm unwanted. If I marry a man like him, I'll probably be angry every day. I won't marry him."

Upon hearing this, Jia Hui's mother felt even more sorry for her daughter and quickly agreed: "You won't marry him. Hong Yu has been spoiled by your aunt. He's never been serious. Since you don't want to, then let's just forget about it."

However, Jia Yi's punishment did not stop, but it was not increased.

Hong Yu was quickly sent back, and to be on the safe side, Jia Hui's mother specially sent someone to explain the situation.

Finally, Hong Yu returned home and, for the first time ever, ate a meal of pork offal.

Originally, it was thought that the matter was over, but not long after, Jia Hui's aunt sent someone to propose marriage, wanting Jia Yi to be her daughter-in-law.

Jia Hui's mother thought about it and agreed.

Hong Yu's mother had never met Jia Yi, so she naturally didn't know what kind of person she was. However, after the last incident, her son's popularity was getting worse and worse. She didn't dare to think about her sister-in-law's daughter, but she could think about her sister-in-law's illegitimate daughter.

Then, Jiayi and Hongyu's marriage was quickly arranged.
