Chapter 281 Drugging
Su Qingwan didn't know what Lu Jing was busy with. In the past month, the roads were blocked by heavy snow and ice. She lived a warm and comfortable life in the manor. She didn't know how Lu Jing was doing in the capital, and there was no need to ask deliberately. He was just spending the New Year with his family and busy with the banquets in the palace. He was in a high position and was cautious and intelligent. He was decisive when faced with things, so he shouldn't encounter any danger.
But as soon as she entered the capital, Su Qingwan heard about Lu Jing's scandal, saying that Lu Jing had an affair with a woman at a palace banquet, and that he was a playboy and lustful man, and did not take the princess seriously at all. He might take a concubine before marrying a wife.
Qingyun, "Oh...it turns out that the princess was not picked up, but a beauty was accompanying her."
Oh my god, it's great, can I break off the engagement? I want to go back to Huainan.
Huainan is so nice. Although it snows in winter, it is not as cold and damp as in the capital. The plum blossoms are not as beautiful as those in Huainan, and the men are not as handsome as those in Huainan. Huainan is still the best!
Su Qingwan signaled Li Yue to go get the news. Li Yue said, "Princess, you have to believe my loyalty to you. I really don't know anything about this matter. I will go ask Li An now. He is really too disloyal. After I find out everything, I will cut off my friendship with him for three days."
Li Yue ran away in a flash. Su Qingwan returned to the villa. Her ears were frozen blue and purple. She felt very uncomfortable. Qingyun turned on the floor heating and charcoal fire in the house, and the house soon warmed up.
Tingting asked worriedly, "Sister Qingyun, what if the prince really wants to take a concubine?"
The princess is so good and so beautiful, the prince must not let her down.
"Why worry so much? Just do what you should do, watch more and talk less." Qingyun said lightly. She said that she wanted to break off the engagement and return to Huainan, but she knew in her heart that Lu Jing would not really do anything to let the princess down.
What's more, this is a palace banquet, and the guests are all princes, nobles, and ladies from high-ranking families, all of whom are of noble status. How could Lu Jing possibly have an affair with them and bring trouble upon himself?
Even if someone wants to climb up the social ladder, it depends on whether they dare to get close to Lu Jing.
She could see that Lu Jing was sincere to the girl and cared about her in every possible way. How could he let her down just for his lust for beauty? The girl in their family couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. If he dared to do it, for Huainan, the girl would marry him, but they could only be a superficial couple who respected each other for the rest of their lives, a real political marriage.
Her girl’s heart was very cold, and she couldn’t be moved so easily again.
However, Qingyun was also very curious about who was so courageous as to provoke Lu Jing and spread such rumors.
Li Yue came back in the evening. Su Qingwan was really carefree. She woke up after a short nap for an hour and was drinking milk soup. Li Yue told her everything about the scandal.
At the palace banquet on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Sun family in the south of the city brought three girls to the palace for the banquet. Originally, they wanted to let the girls gradually get exposed to the world, but who knew that the second girl in their family was so bold. She was the eldest daughter and was spoiled at home. She could get whatever she wanted. She was greedy for power, so she fell in love with the regent Lu Jing and seduced him deliberately. This girl was also stupid. She didn't know who had tricked her into drinking a love potion by mistake. The love potion then implicated Lu Jing, and they were both drugged, which led to the scandal.
Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows, "Did he get drugged?"
This is interesting!
Li Yue said with a bitter face, "Yes, the prince is a heavy drinker, and all the civil and military officials toasted him. I don't know which cup of wine was unclean, so he fell into the trap."
Qingyun's face darkened, "So, he really had an affair with someone?"
"That's not true!" Li Yue said, "Li An swears to heaven that the prince didn't touch a hair of that girl. Really, he asked me to tell the princess that you must believe him."
Qingyun didn't understand, "Why doesn't the prince come and explain it himself?"
