Tao understood and led her men away.
"In broad daylight, I can favor a maidservant. Surely the princess wouldn't object?" Duke Jingguo said confidently.
Princess Jia Hua smiled without saying a word, her fingertips lightly tapping the table, making a clicking sound that sent chills down one's spine.
"Since she is a maid, I will take her as your concubine."
Xiu Shu immediately retorted, "Your Highness has shown us such great kindness, why don't you come out and express your gratitude!"
The person on the bed sobbed softly, not daring to speak.
Duke Jingguo said, "Don't frighten her. I will bring her to serve you tea another day."
"Song Kaifeng, you'd better not be trying to abduct women and deliberately tarnish the reputation of the Duke of Jingguo, would you?" Princess Jiahua sneered, her eyes gradually showing impatience. "My patience is limited. If you know what's good for you, come out obediently. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you if you make a fool of yourself!"
"Is the princess determined to do this?" Duke Jingguo asked through gritted teeth.
Princess Jiahua sneered and said to Xiushu, "Go and invite the Grand Madam here."
"Princess!"
"Get down here right now!" Princess Jia Hua roared.
Seeing that she could no longer fool them, the bed curtains were lifted, and a woman in a plain white undergarment slowly walked out, her body going limp as she knelt on the ground: "Greetings to the princess."
"Lianyi!" Duke Jingguo hurriedly stepped in front of Fan Lianyi, and looked anxiously at Princess Jiahua: "It was all my idea. I wanted to take Lianyi as a concubine."
In front of Princess Jiahua, Fan Lianyi could only be a concubine.
Princess Jiahua's lips curled into a mocking smile as she pointed her index finger at Duke Jingguo: "I have some questions I need to ask this virtuous and self-respecting cousin myself."
"Princess……"
"If you don't give in, I'll have to force you!" Princess Jia Hua's tone was low and impatient. Just as Duke Jing took a step, Fan Lianyi hurriedly grabbed Duke Jing's sleeve.
The Duke of Jingguo paused.
"Someone come here!" Princess Jia Hua's patience ran out.
The Imperial Guards appeared and dragged the Duke of Jingguo away.
Fan Lianyi's delicate body trembled slightly, and she dared not look up at the person who had come.
A hint of murderous intent flickered in Princess Jiahua's eyes as she forced herself to calm down by clenching her teeth.
She stood up, looking down at him.
Fan Lianyi knelt obsequiously at her feet.
"Your Highness, Princess, the Duke and I are in love. Please grant us your blessing." Fan Lianyi knelt down and kowtowed.
Princess Jia Hua laughed out loud, bent down, grabbed Fan Lianyi's chin, and suddenly lifted it up, forcing the other woman to look up.
Her pale, frail face was streaked with tears, making her look pitiful.
"Sister-in-law!"
Tao, who had turned back, shouted at the top of her lungs.
They promptly brought Princess Jia Hua back to her senses.
“Sister-in-law, we’ve caught the person. Why don’t we take him to Ninghui Hall and let everyone judge the matter?” Tao Shi boldly pressed down on Princess Jiahua’s arm.
I'm really afraid that Princess Jiahua might get angry and kill someone with a knife.
Princess Jia Hua took a deep breath, released her grip, and turned away with a flick of her sleeve: "Take them with you!"
