As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Sisi, who fell to the ground, looked even uglier. She lowered her head and didn't move for a long time.
After a long time, Jiang Sisi raised her eyes and revealed an innocent expression with tears in her eyes.
"Please forgive me, Princess. I know I was wrong. Please don't do it again."
She fell to the ground, with no intention of getting up, but big tears rolled down her cheeks, and she looked at me with pity.
At one time, the guests attending the banquet looked sideways and whispered towards this side.
"What is the princess doing? Why did you attack Miss Jiang?"
"Perhaps the princess was jealous of Miss Jiang's talent, so she pushed her down on purpose."
After hearing these words, Jiang Sisi's eyes flashed. This was exactly the effect she wanted.
It was clearly Chi Mu who caused her to fall, and he even said such words, but she blamed everything on Shen Yuerong. Some even wanted to accuse her of pushing someone.
Then Jiang Sisi looked at Shen Yuerong and started to explain with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Princess. I won't say that you pushed me."
After she said this, she covered her mouth and trembled with fear.
Seeing this, Shen Yuerong raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth and looked at Jiang Sisi in front of her indifferently.
"What you said is very strange. Why should I be angry? I didn't even touch you."
"If you insist on pinning this blame on me, then I'd like to ask someone what exactly happened at that time."
Shen Yuerong glanced sideways at the maid beside her and curled her lips into a smile.
"You should have seen it just now, right?"
The maid bowed her head and smiled faintly and replied, "Your Highness, I just saw it."
After these words came out, Jiang Sisi's expression became more and more ugly. She stared at Shen Yuerong, then stretched out her hand to signal the maid next to her to help her up.
But the maid didn't react and just stood there in a daze, making Jiang Sisi angry and started cursing at her.
"Don't you have eyes? Hurry up and help me up."
The maid then stepped forward to help Jiang Sisi stand up, and Shen Yuerong spoke with sarcasm.
"Miss Jiang, please don't blame the maid. If it were me, I would probably think you wanted to sit on the ground and not get up."
After hearing this, Jiang Sisi's face twisted for a moment, but she quickly forced a smile and looked at Shen Yuerong.
"Your Highness Princess is such a jokester. Why would I stay on the ground and not want to get up?"
"It's just that I fell a little while ago and my muscles and bones are in pain, so I can't move for a while."
"Someone is looking for me over there, so I won't accompany you."
Jiang Sisi found an excuse and left in a hurry. If she stayed any longer, she would lose face.
After Jiang Sisi left, Shen Yuerong glanced at Chi Mu beside her with a playful smile on her face.
"What should I do? Even when I come out to attend a party, someone will attack me directly."
Chi Mu leaned over slightly, his warm breath spraying on her ear, and he slowly uttered a word.
"I will only make my wife fall on the bed alive."
Shen Yuerong immediately glared at Chi Mu in reproach, and then walked into the banquet with him.
With the experience of the last banquet, the guests’ attitude towards Shen Yuerong this time was even more enthusiastic than before.
Shen Yuerong's current status is very popular. Although it is her second marriage, Concubine Xi and Chi Mu both treat her with doting. His Majesty and the Queen Mother in the palace also support her as always.
Although the banquet at Chunxue Villa was nominally hosted by Shen Yuerong, Shen Yuerong did not take the initiative to stand at the door to greet them.
Instead, she is a middle-aged woman with a slim figure and full of charm.
She was wearing a lavender silk gown that made her skin look even whiter than jade, and she greeted every guest with a smile on her face.
The guests couldn't help but wonder who this person was, but as he looked familiar, they didn't dare to ask directly and could only discuss it quietly in private.
The guests had finally almost all arrived, and Shen Yuerong then stood up to explain to everyone.
"I welcome everyone here, but today's banquet is not actually hosted by me."
"It's someone else. Madam Sheng, please go in."
Sheng Qinglan folded her hands in front of her, walked towards Shen Yuerong gracefully and elegantly, and appeared in everyone's sight.
The guests in the crowd murmured.
"Who is Madam Sheng? Why have I never heard of her?"
"There are many ladies in the capital, and I have naturally seen them all, but I have never heard of this Madam Sheng. The Madam of the Sheng Mansion did not come to the banquet today."
Shen Yuerong looked at Sheng Qinglan in front of her with a smile, but did not say anything and stepped aside.
Sheng Qinglan stood up slowly and looked around with a cold gaze.
"Welcome everyone to the banquet hosted by me, Sheng Qinglan. In the past, I was the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but now, I am just myself."
When she said this, everyone's breathing stopped, and some people even took a deep breath.
"How is this possible? Isn't the Prime Minister's wife fat but not ugly? How could she look like you?"
"You are a liar, right? The Prime Minister's wife is obviously a fat girl. How could she become like this in just over a month?"
Sheng Qinglan looked at the people in front of her who were questioning her, pursed her red lips, and was speechless for a moment.
How could she explain everything? Should we start from when we were poisoned or when we started losing weight?
Just as she was hesitating, Shen Yuerong stepped forward and spoke for her.
"This is indeed Madam Sheng. She came to my clinic some time ago and was found to have been poisoned, which is why she had that incident at the banquet."
"We were worried about alerting the enemy, so we staged a play. The play left the prime minister's wife at home, and later found out that the poison in her body was planted by the concubine Yi Meng. After years of poisoning, if she is not treated, she may only have a month to live."
She paused and looked at Sheng Qinglan. Seeing her determined eyes, she continued.
"I treated her specially and recommended her a diet therapy, plus persistent exercise, which is why she is what she is now."
The prime minister stood in the crowd, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Sheng Qinglan, who had returned to normal.
He walked out with an affectionate look and extended his hand towards Sheng Qinglan.
"My dear, you have recovered. That's great. Come home with me. We will live happily together until we grow old together."
Hearing what he said, Sheng Qinglan sneered out loud.
"It is impossible for me to grow old together with a heartless man like you. I will no longer be a wretched and frustrated prime minister's wife."
"I just want to be the free and carefree Mrs. Sheng and be myself."
When the prime minister heard this, he became angry and threatened in a cold voice.
"Stop messing around. How can you be self-reliant if you leave our Prime Minister's Mansion? Or don't listen to the princess's crooked theories."
"Even if she divorced, she would be alone and would not affect the family members. But you can't. So many people in the Sheng family are waiting for you to come home."
Sheng Qinglan looked at the prime minister who was threatening her and walked slowly forward. There were tiny ripples in her eyes, and she suddenly spat on the ground.
