"Princess Zhenguo, what do you have to say! I remember you accompanied Miss Lu to change her clothes, why weren't you with her in the room? Where have you been all this time?"
Zhu Yu said calmly, "Oh, I had a bit of an upset stomach just now, so I went to the outhouse. I left after dropping off my second sister. My third sister can testify to that."
"You're talking nonsense! You were the one who pushed me into the house! You locked the door after you pushed me in. It was you, Lu Xiaoyun, who ruined me!" Lu Jinmi pointed angrily at Zhu Yu, wishing she could pounce on him and tear his face to shreds.
"Didn't you want to change your clothes? Why should I push you inside? Are you going to change in the open air?" Zhu Yu asked, blinking his innocent eyes in confusion.
A young lady covered her mouth and chuckled softly, saying that the Princess Zhenguo had pushed her in—that sounded so fake.
"Second, second sister, how could you do this? Big sister didn't hurt you. Big sister was with me the whole time. She said her stomach wasn't feeling well, so I went with her to the toilet."
Lu Jinpei's face turned pale with fright. Hearing her second sister slander her eldest sister without any evidence, she was so angry that she had no choice but to stand up and speak.
The second sister's reputation is already ruined, and she still wants to slander the eldest sister? Does she not care about the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion at all?
Lu Jinmi ignored her own sister; she could deal with her when she returned to the manor. Right now, the most important thing was to drag that bitch Lu Xiaoyun down with her.
Lu Jinmi pointed to the broken aphrodisiac incense stick on the table: "Then what happened to this aphrodisiac incense? Didn't you light it?"
"One minute you're saying I pushed you into the room and locked the door, the next you're saying I lit this love potion. Lu Jinmi, do you want to listen to this for yourself? Does anyone believe that? Do you think I have the ability to be in two places at once?"
Lu Jinmi's face was as white as frost. The incense was lit by the eldest princess's maid, but could she say that? No!
Zhu Yu entered the room, picked up a tinderbox from the side, lit the incense, and everyone hurriedly took several steps back.
Zhu Yu smiled faintly, took a deep breath under his nose, and said, "It's just a regular fragrance, not some kind of love potion."
After saying that, he took another deep breath: "It smells pretty good, do you want to smell it?"
Everyone took a few steps back in unison.
"His Majesty has arrived! His Highness Prince An has arrived!"
The crowd automatically split into two lines and bowed to the two of them.
Zhu Yu handed the incense to Lu Xiaoyun: "Your Highness, they say this is a love potion. Please smell it and see if it is."
Lu Xiaoyun took the aphrodisiac and took a deep sniff: "It's not aphrodisiac, it's just ordinary sandalwood."
That four-colored herb is a rare and miraculous herb that can cure all poisons. After she took it, not only was she cured of the "infertility" poison, but after they had intercourse, her essence entered Zhu Yu's body, and now both of them are immune to all poisons.
Zhu Yu took the incense from Lu Xiaoyun's hand and casually tossed it into the basin of water: "So, Lu Jinmi, you're the one who entered this room and hooked up with Young Master Xie, don't blame this incense. His Highness Prince An also said that this is just an ordinary sandalwood incense stick."
Everyone looked at "Lu Xiaoyun" in horror, then at "Prince An". Seeing that the two of them really did not have any adverse reactions, they breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that this was not a love potion, but Lu Jinmi acting like a jerk?
But then look at that obese body lying on the ground. How could Lu Jinmi possibly eat it?!
A young lady whispered, "I heard that this Miss Lu's mother killed people, several people. Think about it, who would want to marry the daughter of a murderer? Maybe Lu Jinmi is just after the power of the Xie family and deliberately seduced him."
The others who heard this nodded in agreement: "Now that you mention it, it's quite possible."
"That's right. The Xie family is a scholarly family. If she could marry into their family, she would be a dignified matriarch."
Lu Jinmi cried loudly, "No, that's not how it is! I was harmed by that bitch Lu Xiaoyun! Don't listen to her nonsense!"
"Tsk tsk, how shameless. She seduces someone but then blames it on them and even slanders her own sister."
"Yeah, even if you're going to hook up with someone, at least find someone normal. Xie Yun... tsk tsk, he's too indiscriminate."
Hearing these words, Lu Jinmi completely lost her mind. Looking at Lu Xiaoyun, who was smugly raising her chin, she suddenly stood up and rushed towards Zhu Yu. She wanted to strangle this vicious woman! Strangle her! Strangle her!
However, she didn't have a chance; Lu Xiaoyun kicked her, sending her flying.
"Someone, throw Lu Jinmi out!" Zhu Dan ordered coldly. Two burly old women came over, picked up Lu Jinmi who had been kicked to the ground, took her to the door, and threw her out.
Xie Yun was an idiot, so even if he was thrown away, it wouldn't make a difference. The only option was to have the Xie family take him back.
"Royal brother, what do we do now?" The Third Princess's mind was buzzing. She knew that it was her eldest sister who did it, but she had no evidence.
Zhu Yu glanced at the eldest princess, whose hands were almost twisting the handkerchief in her hands to shreds.
His eldest sister had bullied him a lot in the palace before, and he could let it go then, but now that she had come up with such a vicious scheme, he couldn't let it go like this.
The Third Princess has no evidence, but he will deliver the evidence to her because he knows that the Eldest Princess will not be satisfied if her plan fails.
"Lu Jinmi's disgraceful act at the Third Princess's residence is truly immoral. Guards, convey my decree: expel Lu Jinmi from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and immediately send her to the Xie family to be Xie Yun's concubine, never to be his wife again. Force-feed her a drug that will prevent her from having children!"
Lu Jinmi, well done! You dare to come up with such a vicious plan. I'll make sure you never recover in this lifetime!
Someone was busy and went to carry out the order.
Lu Jinmi, who had just been thrown out of the mansion and hadn't even had a chance to get up, was held down by several old women.
"What are you doing? My father is the Duke of Zhenguo! You can't be disrespectful to me!" Lu Jinmi cried out in terror.
The old woman doesn't care who you are; if the emperor has given the order, you have to obey.
"Ah! Let me go! Let me go! My father is a first-rank Duke of Zhenguo! You lowly people, I'll have my father kill you all! Kill you all!"
Zhang Zhongwei frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, and slapped Lu Jinmi across the face. He was a senior eunuch in the palace. Despite his age, he had been immersed in the palace since childhood and knew exactly how to hit someone with perfect precision, striking hard without causing serious injury.
Lu Jinmi was slapped so hard that she fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Zhang Zhongwei said in a shrill voice, "Tie her up and gag her! By imperial decree, Lu Jinmi has acted indecently and is hereby expelled from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. She is to be sent to the Xie family as Xie Yun's concubine, and shall never be a wife or have children!"
Lu Jinmi's mind went blank, and she fainted.
Over here, Zhu Dan caught a glimpse of the dazzling red light emanating from the jade bracelet on Zhu Yu's right wrist out of the corner of his eye: 4,300 points!
He rubbed his head, having good reason to suspect that his fourth brother had deliberately come to this banquet today. In the past, when he returned to Shengjing, he had been invited to such banquets, but no matter who sent him the invitation, he never bothered to attend.
Today, he not only came, but also deliberately brought a group of people to provoke hatred.
Does he really want to be a woman?
