This cotton handkerchief is fine as long as it doesn't touch the skin. Song Wanwan had been wrapping it with a square towel before. When she wiped Su Xiangling's face, she also pinched the edges with the square towel, so that nothing got on her hands.
Su Xiangling knew what the handkerchief was stained with as soon as she smelled it. She was so frightened that she quickly refused it, "Don't bother Miss Song."
Song Wanwan looked unhappy, "What do you mean, Miss Su Er? I wiped your face out of kindness, why are you still unhappy?"
He snorted again, "Is this really the Crown Prince's servant? Do you think I'm unworthy of wiping your face?"
The prince had lost the competition and had tea stains splashed on him by Su Xiangling, which had already upset him. Seeing that Su Xiangling had irritated Song Wanwan again, he said unhappily, "Xiangling, don't be so presumptuous."
Su Xiangling didn't dare to move for a moment and could only let Song Wanwan rub her face randomly.
Song Wanwan had practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her strength was greater than that of an ordinary woman. Su Xiangling felt a burning pain on her cheeks, but she didn't dare to resist or refuse, let alone say a word.
I thought to myself, I'll go find some rice wine soon. If I deal with it in time, it should be fine.
But how did Song Wanwan know?
Su Xiangling suddenly thought of Feicui who had just left with Shen Yue, and suddenly remembered that Su Qingyu had gone to Qianzhou. It suddenly dawned on her that she had neglected to remember Feicui had been to Qianzhou and met Zhou Tong.
After Song Wanwan wiped her face, she threw the handkerchief at Su Xiangling's feet in disgust. In a voice only the two of them could hear, she said, "Second Miss Su, if you see me from now on, you'd better stay away. Otherwise..."
She didn't say the rest, but Su Xiangling shuddered subconsciously. The feeling of being constantly resented and prepared for revenge made her feel uneasy.
The prince was splashed with tea and was about to change his clothes. Su Xiangling also planned to find some rice wine.
Song Wanwan continued, "Second Miss Su, it was you who soiled the Crown Prince's clothes. Why don't you stay by his side and serve him?"
The prince said nothing. He didn't care who served him. But after Song Wanwan said this, Su Xiangling couldn't refuse.
He could only whisper to Ziluo, the maid beside him, "Go and find me some rice wine."
Song Wanwan sneered in her heart. Rice wine? If there is still rice wine in this villa, it means that she, Song Wanwan, is incompetent.
Su Shunci shook her head slightly, thinking to herself, "Su Xiangling, why mess with anyone but the Song family? Did she think that by clinging to the Crown Prince, she could ignore everyone else?" This was the capital, not Qianzhou. The waters were much deeper. Li Chaoyun was the Emperor's niece, so she had to be careful in the Shen family, not too flamboyant.
Su Xiangling accompanied the prince to change clothes. After waiting for a long time, Zi Luo finally came back.
Zi Luo came back empty-handed, telling her that she hadn't found any rice wine.
Su Xiangling was horrified and guessed that it was Song Wanwan's doing. She was so angry that her fists were clenched and veins bulged.
After the prince changed his clothes, the competition would continue. Su Xiangling wanted to find an excuse to leave, but every excuse was rejected by Song Wanwan.
This type of rash will first grow and then feel itchy after it grows over a large area.
Song Wanwan kept staring at Su Xiangling's face. When she saw a rash starting to appear on her face, she winked at the young eunuch serving in the nearby courtyard.
The young eunuch was also clever. After a while, he came over with tea. When he reached Su Xiangling, he said, "Miss, this is tea for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I see that you are highly regarded by His Royal Highness. How about you take it to him? I am clumsy and I am afraid of disturbing His Royal Highness's interest."
The eunuch's humble attitude pleased Su Xiangling. She raised her chin slightly and took the tea proudly. She walked to the prince and said, "Your Highness, please have some tea."
At this time, everyone was staring at the competition between Prince Qin and Song Hongshen. No one noticed that Su Xiangling's face was already red and swollen.
The prince turned around, took the teacup, and glanced at Su Xiangling.
The next moment, the teacup in his hand slipped out of his hand. "What are you doing? Why are you looking like that?"
The prince exclaimed, causing everyone to look at him.
"What's going on? The second young lady of the Su family's face... is so disgusting."
"What's wrong with her? Stay away from her before she infects us."
For a moment, everyone scattered, leaving Su Xiangling standing alone.
She touched her face and felt a sharp itch. She looked at Song Wanwan angrily, and Song Wanwan gave her a provocative look in return.
Just when Su Xiangling was at a loss, the prince said again with disgust: "What are you still standing here for? Go back quickly."
Although Su Xiangling felt humiliated, she fled the place as if she had been pardoned.
Watching her leaving, Song Wanwan raised her eyebrows and said, "Next time I meet Sister Yue, I will definitely tell her about this and make her happy."
Su Shunci sighed, "I don't know what's going on with her and Young Master Li Si. This matter has become such a big deal, I'm afraid they're going to get engaged, right?"
The two of them didn't know that Shen Yue and Li Yunzhou were still outside the Shen family and had not entered the house.
In the carriage, the two sat opposite each other, Li Yunzhou's face full of guilt and apology. No matter what, it was he who had implicated Shen Yue today.
"I'll go talk to the teacher right now and explain the matter clearly. As for proposing marriage, I still need to discuss it with the teacher." Li Yunzhou said hesitantly.
He was different from others. He hadn't established his own family yet. If he proposed to marry Shen Yue at this time, Shen Yue would definitely marry into the Li family. Naturally, he was reluctant to let Shen Yue suffer in the Li family.
Even if they were engaged first, he was afraid that the Li family would make things difficult for Shen Yue because of this relationship.
But if he doesn't propose marriage now, Yu Chenyue's reputation will be bad.
Shen Yue thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to Third Uncle and Third Aunt first. I'll explain the situation clearly, and then you can discuss the rest with Third Uncle."
Ultimately, this was her own decision. There were some details that Li Yunzhou couldn't explain, so she had to explain them herself. She was acting swiftly, for the sake of Li Yunzhou's arm. Third Uncle and Third Aunt should understand, right?
After the two discussed it for a while, they did not go through the door of the Shen family's main courtyard, but directly knocked on the door of the west courtyard and went in.
Shen Yue asked Li Yunzhou to wait in the small side hall in the outer courtyard of the west yard, while she went to the inner courtyard first to see if Su Qingyu was there.
At this time, in the main banquet room of the inner courtyard, Su Qingyu was sewing Autumn's nightgown for Shen Zhixiu. She heard the voice of a little maid outside, greeting her, and then Shen Zhixiu walked in with a sullen face.
Su Qingyu looked up at him, "What's wrong? Are things not going well in the court?"
Shen Zhixiu sat down opposite Su Qingyu, as if thinking about how to start the conversation.
After a while, he spoke.
"At the banquet at the suburban courtyard today, Li Yunzhou kissed Shen Yue in the side room of the archery field and was caught by the Crown Prince and the others attending the banquet."
"It won't be long before the whole city knows about it."
