Chu Ruohan was reborn, returning to the day she married into the Marquis of Anyang's residence. In her previous life, her newlywed husband, Gu Chengan, faked his death, pushing her into an abys...
Chapter 94 Chu Ruohan didn't kill him, so she will do it instead
Duke Wei was holding his breath. The daughter of Prince Yong was shameless. She had an affair with a man and even got pregnant with his son.
"No matter how poor my son is, he knows what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are." Duke Wei stopped walking. "Unlike some people..."
Prince Yong turned around and glared at Duke Wei. Was he making indirect accusations?
Prince Yong's finger was almost pointing at Duke Wei's face. "Your son spends his days in debauchery, hanging out with those wicked friends. What kind of evil can't he do? My daughter has been well-educated and well-mannered since she was young. It's only because of bad luck that she got involved with him."
Duke Wei's face was livid with rage, veins bulging on his forehead. "Well-educated and well-mannered? If she were truly well-educated and well-mannered, how could she still be having affairs with other men after getting married? I think there's something wrong with the family traditions of Prince Yong's Mansion. That's why you raised a daughter like this!"
"You..." Prince Yong was so angry that he was speechless. He pointed at the Duke of Wei with a trembling finger, "How dare you slander my daughter like this? If I don't make things clear with you today, I, Prince Yong, will not give up!"
The two men were arguing fiercely, and the ministers around them all cast strange looks at them, but did not dare to step forward to dissuade them.
An old minister hurried forward to smooth things over, saying, "My Lords, this is outside the imperial court. It's unbecoming to argue like this. If there's anything you want to discuss, why don't you find a place to sit down and discuss it properly? Don't damage the harmony."
"Don't trust all rumors..."
Prince Yong and Duke Wei then realized their own gaffe, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Inside Yaoguang Pavilion, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Lin Xingyao held the illegible letter tightly in her hand, her fingertips turning white from the force and her knuckles trembling slightly.
During this period of time, she didn't even dare to go out, but the scandal about her and Wei Qiming spread like wildfire in the capital, with details and evidence.
"How could this happen..." Lin Xingyao muttered to herself, her voice full of confusion.
The maid was already dead when she knew about that incident.
No one else in the world knew about this except herself and Wei Qiming.
But now, she has become the biggest joke in the capital.
"Could it be that bastard?" Lin Xingyao's beautiful eyes widened, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in them. "What on earth does he want to do? Is he trying to completely destroy me?"
She thought that she might be ruined and that the Prince Yong's Mansion would be humiliated because of her, and the fear in her heart was gradually replaced by anger.
She lowered her head and her eyes fell on the letter again. The four words "See you at the old place" seemed to burn her eyes.
How dare this bastard ask her out!
Lin Xingyao had no time to think about whether the letter was a fraud. There was only one thought in her mind: Wei Qiming must die.
As long as he dies, no one will know the secret anymore.
She will always be the high and mighty princess of Prince Yong's Mansion.
Lin Xingyao paced back and forth hurriedly in the room. She walked to the dressing table, glanced at the objects on the table, and first picked up a sharp dagger.
But after weighing it, he felt that it was too conspicuous and would easily arouse suspicion, so he put it down again.
Finally, her eyes fell on an exquisite hairpin, the tip of which was sharp and gleamed coldly in the sunlight filtering through the window lattice.
She picked up the hairpin without hesitation and inserted it steadily into her bun, with the tip of the hairpin slightly exposed, just like the murderous intent she was hiding at the moment.
Chu Ruohan failed to kill him, so it would be her turn.
Lin Xingyao faced the mirror. Her face was pale but her eyes were determined. She was completely different from the proud princess she usually was.
To ensure that everything was perfect, Lin Xingyao carefully checked her makeup again, hid her emotions deeply, and returned to her normal appearance.
Lin Xingyao did not take the carriage directly, but disguised herself as a maid, went out from the back door of Anyang Mansion, and went straight to Qingfeng Tower.
But I didn't realize there was a tail following behind...
Qingfenglou is a well-known restaurant in the capital. It is the peak dining time, and the restaurant is brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Lin Xingyao took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then walked straight upstairs.
She walked quickly, turned the corner of the stairs, and came to a private room.
Without any hesitation, she raised her hand and pushed open the door of the private room.
The private room was filled with the aroma of wine.
Wei Qiming was sitting at the table, drinking by himself. He was dressed in a dark purple brocade robe, his hair tied casually back, and his face looked a bit drunk.
Seeing Lin Xingyao come in, he raised his head slightly, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Here I am."
Lin Xingyao walked into the private room, closed the door, slowly walked to the table and sat down.
Her gaze fell coldly on Wei Qiming, with no disguising her disgust and hatred in her eyes.
"Why do you miss me?"
"You were the one who told that?"
The two spoke at the same time. Wei Qiming raised his lips to an evil smile, but his hand had already touched her body.
Lin Xingyao felt a chill, goose bumps appeared all over her body, and her stomach was churning.
But she suppressed her inner disgust and did not forget the purpose of her trip.
She gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to push him away. Instead, she leaned obediently into the man's arms.
In her heart, a firm idea burned like a raging fire - she wanted him to die...
Seeing Lin Xingyao being so obedient, Wei Qiming suddenly became excited and the expression on his face became more and more distorted.
His gaze fell on Lin Xingyao's slightly bulging belly, and a trace of morbid greed flashed in his eyes.
"I've never played with a pregnant woman before."
He murmured softly, his lower abdomen tightened, and he couldn't wait to kiss her. At the same time, his hand reached into her clothes and wandered around freely.
The feeling of humiliation made Lin Xingyao's eyes red. She stretched out her hand to pull out the hairpin on her head, but her hand uncontrollably climbed up the man's shoulder.
Her chest was gasping for breath, her heart filled with fear and confusion: What was going on? She actually longed for his touch.
She hadn't touched anything since she entered the house.
Did Wei Qiming drug her again?
The abnormality in her body made her more and more panicked, and she gradually sank into despair...
In the guest room next door, Chu Ruohan was leisurely playing with the teacup in her hand, her eyes revealing an elusive depth.
She tilted her ear slightly, listening to the noise coming from next door, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Then, she winked at Song Ruyan beside her and said softly, "It's almost time..."
Song Ruyan nodded slightly and retreated quietly...
