The person who came was none other than...
That's exactly what the fallen branches meant!
She was dressed up carefully today, wearing a pale yellow dress and a cloisonné hairpin inlaid with pearls. In the bright sunlight, her eyes seemed to sparkle with gold, and she swayed gracefully as she walked.
Two personal maids followed behind her.
“You…” Lin Yaoyao’s pupils dilated as she looked at the person slowly walking towards her in disbelief.
Even Song Yuxiu and Song Ruoying, the brother and sister, were shocked.
What happened?
"Just now outside the courtyard, I heard Miss Lin say that I was depraved and lowly?" Shen Zhiyi said with a faint smile.
Lin Yaoyao looked at her, her mind momentarily blank.
That shouldn't be happening!
According to the plan, she should be in her room on her bed at this time, so why did she come back from outside?
The person on the bed...
Who is it again!
Before she could react, she saw Green Lotus, the maid behind Shen Zhiyi, rush up.
Without saying a word, he slapped her across the face.
"Snap—"
Everyone's hearts pounded in shock.
Lin Yaoyao's pupils trembled, her head was knocked to one side, and her face burned with pain.
She looked at Green Lotus in disbelief, "You... dare to hit me?"
“Who do you think you are to gossip and slander our young lady?” Green Lotus had wanted to slap her for a long time.
"Just because you're the lady's savior, my daughter even gave you the courtyard to live in, yet you still dare to speak ill of her! Who gave you the guts!"
"No, I..." Lin Yaoyao was about to speak.
result,
What awaited her was an even harder slap!
“We heard it all clearly. How dare you slander my young lady? You still want to argue?” Green Lotus showed no mercy to her.
Lin Yaoyao staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He was furious:
You bitch!
You dare hit me!
Once I become the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion, I will definitely sell you into a brothel and make you wish you were dead.
Meanwhile, the Song siblings finally recovered from their shock.
Almost instinctively concerned about Lin Yaoyao's condition, Song Yuxiu glared angrily at Lühe: "What are you doing! A mere maid dares to hit her master? Believe me or not, I'll sell you off!"
"You dare to sell my dowry maid!" Shen Zhiyi gestured for Lühe to stand behind her.
His gaze shifted to Song Yuxiu's hand resting on Lin Yaoyao's shoulder, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Song Yuxiu's breath hitched, and he quickly withdrew his hand, trying to appear calm.
"That's because she has no manners!"
"Is that so?" Shen Zhiyi chuckled. "I would like to ask, which master of the Marquis's mansion did she hit? Miss Lin is only staying at the Marquis's mansion temporarily. When did she become a master?"
"She is my mother's benefactor!" Song Ruoying exclaimed.
"So what? Even if she is a princess or a county princess, does that give her the right to make up lies and smear my reputation?" Shen Zhiyi questioned.
"It's my fault!" Lin Yaoyao covered her face, tears welling in her eyes, looking pitiful and delicate. "Your Highness, please don't let me affect your relationship with your husband."
"It's all my fault. I saw a man in the Crown Prince's wife's room, disheveled, and holding her personal underwear. In a moment of panic, I said such things."
"Perhaps...it's all a misunderstanding!"
"That man must be talking nonsense."
Retreat as a way to advance
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the cook named Zhang Dali.
Zhang Dali seemed to snap out of his daze instantly. He glanced behind the screen, a look of confusion in his eyes, but Song Yuxiu's kick made him forget to think.
"You scoundrel, how dare you slander my wife!"
“No, I didn’t slander her. Madam comes to the kitchen every day to brew medicine so that we can meet in secret,” Zhang Dali said urgently.
"I still have the underwear she gave me!"
"All of this proves that everything I said is true. Today, the Crown Prince's wife said she was lonely and asked me to keep her company."
Lin Yaoyao's face was filled with disbelief. "I watched the young master's wife go to the kitchen every day to prepare medicine for him, working so hard. I never imagined it would be like this... No matter what, it can't be done in broad daylight in your and the young master's room..."
"That's because the young mistress said it's more exciting in her and the young master's room!" Zhang Dali was still clutching the red undergarment in his hand.
He looked at Shen Zhiyi, "Young Madam, have you forgotten? These were all gifts from you!"
"Sister-in-law, this can't be true, can it?" Song Ruoying was also shocked.
"You dog of a servant, how dare you spout nonsense!" Green Lotus was so angry that she wanted to kick him.
Shen Zhiyi's lips curled slightly as she looked at Song Yuxiu, "Husband, do you think so too?"
"Zhiyi, I believe in you. You're not that kind of person!" Song Yuxiu was still pretending to be a good husband.
"Brother, what kind of spell did she cast on you? The truth is right here, and you're still defending her!" Song Ruoying gritted her teeth in anger. "I think it's her who's unfaithful."
"Ruoying!" Song Yuxiu's expression was pained, then he looked at Shen Zhiyi, "Is this really true?"
"You don't believe me?"
"I……"
"Song Yuxiu, what promises did you make to my parents when you proposed to me? You said you would love and trust me for the rest of your life. Only two years have passed, and you've already forgotten your vows?"
"Zhiyi, that's not what I meant."
Song Ruoying stepped forward at this moment, "Sister-in-law, are you trying to morally blackmail my brother?"
"Exactly, how can she have the nerve to question the prince when she brings all those other men back to her room for secret rendezvous?" Lin Yaoyao muttered.
"Lin Yaoyao, who do you think you are!"
"I……"
“When did it become your place to interfere in the affairs of our Marquis’s mansion? You are merely a guest of the Marquis’s mansion. Isn’t it rather impolite of you to meddle in the affairs of the host family?” Shen Zhiyi sneered.
