Yan Shi's previous impression of the princess was that of a gentle and weak woman.
She loves to snuggle in the prince's arms, but she can't lift a finger or carry anything; she's so weak that she seems like she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
but……
The princess before me had a cold look in her eyes, a stark contrast to her usual self.
But he is a sensible person after all; some things are better left unsaid.
Yan Shi nodded slightly, "Please, Your Highness."
Recently, the prince hasn't given any further instructions, only telling him to obey the princess's orders.
Could this be interpreted as...?
He has now been assigned to the princess, so will he only be protecting the princess from now on?
Xiao Tang had already gotten up and headed towards Zuichunlou.
Zuichunlou at this time.
The woman in white, her face veiled, sat in the private room of the top tier, waiting for the two who had gone to ruin Xiao Tang's reputation to return.
Sure enough, the two returned.
Perhaps they had rushed back in such a hurry that a thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Wu Shi raised his sleeve and lightly wiped his forehead before smiling humbly, "Don't worry, young lady, we all went out to spread bad things about that woman Xiao Tang as you instructed. I asked Granny Wu, who loves to gossip, to do it."
“Me too,” Guan Dazhu said hurriedly.
They had all been rebuffed by Xiao Tang, but this time, after getting revenge on Xiao Tang, they felt really good.
Especially Wu Shi.
She originally wanted to feign illness to get some money from Xiao Tang, since she was now the Regent's Consort and certainly wouldn't be short of money.
But to his surprise, they chased him away right then and there, which made him feel extremely wronged.
Xiao Tang deserves it!
The woman in white picked up her teacup, took a sip behind her veil, and her red lips curved into a slight smile.
Even the veil couldn't hide her smug expression.
She then took out two more bags of silver and handed them to the two of them.
"Very well, tomorrow you can go to the east street and speak ill of her, and I will continue to give you silver—"
Bang!
The sound of the door being kicked interrupted the woman's voice.
It was this sound of kicking the door that startled the two men who had just committed the crime, making them jump twice on their stools.
They looked at the newcomer with some surprise.
It was Xiao Tang and Yan Shi.
The woman in white was also startled when she saw Xiao Tang, but she dared not make a sound and tightly gripped the corner of her dress with her hands hanging at her sides.
Xiao Tang leaned against the door with his arms crossed, and immediately recognized the white-clad woman's identity.
"Oh, Seventh Princess Consort, are you acting all mysterious because you think I won't recognize you?"
Her voice startled Yan Shi.
Yan Shi looked at the woman in white with great surprise.
He genuinely admired the princess, and that was evident.
Wearing a mask only brought loneliness.
Xiao Rourou's face turned pale.
She feigned a fierce tone and said, "What did you say? Who is the Seventh Imperial Consort? Are you looking for death?"
Xiao Tang clicked his tongue: "Still not giving up, huh? Yan Shi, go and take off her veil!"
As Yan Shi approached, Xiao Rou Rou was startled and immediately covered her face.
She probably couldn't figure out where she went wrong.
Despite being extremely careful in everything, Xiao Tang still saw through him.
Yan Shi was skilled in light-body techniques and was no ordinary person. He leaped up and, taking advantage of Xiao Rourou's exclamation, removed her veil.
The white veil flew out of the window.
It went with the wind.
Xiao Rourou's deathly pale face was also clearly visible.
She stood ramrod straight, but her posture was visibly stiff.
"You...you all!"
Xiao Tang's lips curled into a slight smile. "What's wrong? Is the Seventh Princess Consort not getting the Seventh Prince's favor, so she's trying to slander me and cause a rift between the Regent and me?"
[I never imagined you could be such a vicious, scheming female lead.]
When it comes to malice, you truly reign supreme.
Xiao Tang knew from the beginning that this white lotus flower loved to act, even more than she did.
I wonder how the main villain will feel when he sees the female lead's true appearance? Will he realize that he has been wrongly devoted to her?
She guessed from the start that it was Xiao Rourou.
To know so much about her situation in the countryside...
Besides Xiao Rourou, there shouldn't be anyone else.
She even knew that she had several childhood sweethearts in the countryside.
but……
Why did you only find these two oddballs?
In the original owner's memories, there was still a white moonlight.
That guy seemed even more handsome and good-looking, and the one the original owner was more infatuated with...
It seems Xiao Rourou, you're not up to the task.
[You couldn't even find someone decent to help you?]
I really don't know what you were thinking. This ugly, deformed guy would get knocked out in a heartbeat if he stood next to the main villain.
Anyone with eyes wouldn't choose this.
Xiao Rourou forced a smile: "Sister, you've misunderstood. I heard that your two older brothers from the countryside came to the capital specifically to seek refuge with you, but you..."
At this point, she covered her mouth, slightly saddened.
“Since you wouldn’t take them in, I felt sorry for them, so I arranged for their food, clothing, and lodging on behalf of my sister.”
Clap clap clap!
Xiao Tang clapped for her.
You're so smart!
"Since the Seventh Princess Consort is so understanding, and the two of them came to me seeking responsibility, why don't you take on this responsibility as well?"
"They said they were engaged when we were kids, so... why don't you get engaged to them too, as a way of taking responsibility?"
Xiao Tang's words were highly sarcastic.
The smile on Xiao Rourou's face gradually disappeared.
She glared at Xiao Tang, "What are you saying, sister? I'm already married..."
"Oh... you'll remarry after you've already married."
"Why do you—sister—have to be so demanding?" the woman said, her eyes immediately welling up with tears of grievance.
When it comes to crying scenes, the female lead's crying scenes are absolutely top-notch.
Xiao Tang felt inferior to him.
She can cry her heart out in an instant, tears streaming down her face; she may be beautiful, but she has no soul.
She looked wronged; anyone who didn't know better would think Xiao Tang had bullied her.
Yan Shi was dumbfounded.
The current situation has left him somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to do...
Xiao Tang said, "Yan Shi, you heard everything before you came in, right? What did this woman say to them?"
Yan Shi nodded stiffly, still in a daze.
“I heard...I heard it. The Seventh Princess Consort said...that you two should go to the streets and alleys in the east and ruin the Princess Consort's reputation, and then reward them with silver.”
His words made Xiao Rourou's face even more embarrassed.
These words have already been spoken...
What else could she do?
Even if Xiao Tang and Yan Shi heard it, so what?
In the Regent's eyes, Xiao Rourou was still that delicate, fragile woman who needed protection.
After all, her master had entrusted the matter to the Regent!
My master is the Regent's savior!
Xiao Rourou became even more smug.
She felt a little better and then looked at Xiao Tang timidly: "Sister, if you say this without any evidence, people will just say you're spreading rumors!"
"I heard it too."
