Inside the main hall.

Li Menghua's face darkened as he listened to Sheng Wu's questioning, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

But she still maintained the demeanor of a lady, and her expression was a little solemn.

"What do you mean by that? Why? Is it all the General's Mansion's fault? Aren't you now the Queen Mother, second only to the emperor and above everyone else? Who do you think is behind your current wealth and glory? If it weren't for the General's Mansion, you wouldn't be as powerful as you are today!"

Sheng Wu, however, had a tense expression and sneered.

"Then I would rather not have such prestige! Okay, do you really think I don't know that Sheng Huayao was secretly sent to Miaojiang by her father to practice the art of witchcraft. Once she succeeds in becoming a concubine, what do you want to do? Do you want to use Sheng Huayao to control Xiao Luochen?"

"You want to overthrow the imperial court and use the emperor as a pretext to incite the princes to revolt?"

Xiao Luochen, who was still listening outside with his eyes closed and holding his breath, suddenly felt a shudder in his heart. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the wall in disbelief, as if he wanted to look through the wall and deeply into the person inside.

He thought that this woman was vicious and arrogant, and was so cruel that she could destroy other people's appearance at will.

During these days of confinement for Sheng Wu, he had been puzzled and constantly conflicted about Sheng Wu's behavior of seducing him that night but committing suicide to protect him, and her cruel teaching of others at the concubine selection banquet, which did not give him, the emperor, any face at all.

He felt that her sadness, gentleness and virtue that night did not seem fake, but he had also witnessed with his own eyes her arrogance and ruthlessness that day.

He never knew which one he had seen was the real Saint Charm.

But now after hearing Sheng Wu's words, his mind suddenly became clear.

So, Saint...

Is it because of this... that he deliberately disfigured Sheng Huayao at the concubine selection banquet, preventing her from entering the palace as a concubine?!

In an instant, Xiao Luochen seemed to have overturned his previous cognition. His eyes trembled, his breathing became unstable, his brows furrowed, his eyes lowered, and he recalled with a grim expression.

Sheng Wu's every move that day, including going to the banquet, scolding her, confining her despite everyone's gaze, and misunderstanding her.

And she.

Without any explanation, she just looked at herself with complicated and deep eyes, chuckled, and in the end, there was a gleam of grievance in her eyes, but she still forced herself to hold it back, and announced with arrogance that Sheng Huayao would never be allowed to enter the palace as a concubine again.

He really misunderstood her again...

No wonder, no wonder she spoke in panic even when she was unconscious and in a nightmare.

Why don't you believe me...

Xiao Luochen suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, and clenched his fists, unable to accept this fact.

And inside the main hall.

These words made Li Menghua, who had remained calm and elegant just now, suddenly change his expression and panic.

A subconscious question.

"How do you know?!"

But after saying it, Li Menghua realized that he had said something wrong and immediately changed his words.

"Nonsense! Hua Yao has been raised in the General's Mansion, how could she have learned such filthy things! Are you crazy? How dare you say anything nonsense!"

Seeing that she was still cautious, Sheng Wu sneered, determined to provoke her and make her reveal more of the inside story.

“Bang!”

"ah!"

Her hands itched and she slapped Li Menghua in the face.

"Ha, I'm talking nonsense. Don't forget where you came from to marry into the General's Mansion! If my father hadn't been bewitched by you and taken a prostitute like you into the General's Mansion, my mother would have been left childless by you! How could you, a dancer by birth, be promoted to a concubine? Didn't you learn some seductive techniques?"

In the original plot, after Sheng Huayao successfully entered the palace, she did use some charm techniques to confuse Xiao Luochen, but it was the male protagonist who discovered that something was wrong with Sheng Huayao.

After a secret investigation, it was discovered that Sheng Huayao had been sent to Miaojiang by Sheng Jiangqi to learn the art of witchcraft, in an attempt to use her to control himself.

If you go against the male protagonist, the consequences are obvious.

However, as a female supporting character with special skills, Sheng Huayao naturally caused a lot of trouble for the heroine, which led to her being offline.

This time, she took advantage of it in advance.

This slap made Li Menghua dazed and her face felt burning with pain, which caught her off guard.

"How dare you hit me! Bitch!"

After listening to Sheng Wu's rather humiliating words, her well-maintained face could no longer maintain the look of a kind elder, and her expression became a little ferocious.

He raised his hand and was about to slap Sheng Wu in the face.

She had suffered so much in the past and had finally managed to live a life of luxury for all these years. How could she have ever suffered such humiliation!

[Black Dumpling, block the pain! ]
