When Wei Junhang heard this, he immediately looked away with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at her. He loudly told Mingshuang to pour a cup of warm water, and brought it to Shen Xinyan in a flattering tone: "Madam, drink a cup of water to warm yourself up."

Shen Xinyan didn't make it difficult for him. She took a few sips of the drink from his hand, wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, pursed her lips slightly, stared at his face closely and said slowly, "The prince hasn't told me yet what to do with the sister in Bali Hutong. The prince knows me well. I'm not jealous and intolerant. If the prince likes her, why not take her back and give her the title of concubine? It's better than leaving her outside and causing criticism."

After a slight pause, as if she hadn't noticed his changing expression, she made up her mind and continued slowly, "It's just that mother must have a tough battle to fight. However, no matter how upset mother is, she still loves you in her heart. I think she will make you happy in the end."

Wei Junban's mouth twitched, and he angrily cursed the culprit who put him in such a situation. After a while, he tried hard to raise an expression that seemed to be both guilty and happy. He diligently helped Shen Xinyan to sit down, and said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry that you have wronged me, this is my fault..."

Bullshit, he is innocent!!

If the girl from Bali Hutong was really that guy's mistress, he would never take the blame for her even if he was beaten to death! But she wasn't.

Furthermore, if people were to discover that a person who should have been dead for many years was still alive and well, not only would all their years of hard work in hiding her be wasted, but it would also alert the other party, leading to endless troubles!

Therefore, he is now in a difficult situation and has to bear the blame even if he doesn't want to!

Shen Xinyan had been staring at him closely, not missing the flash of anger on his face when he mentioned "I am not responsible for this", and she became even more suspicious. At the same time, she was even more certain that he must be hiding something from her, and that he did not seem to have any intention of confessing to her.

In this case, I think the idea of ​​having a mistress needs to be carefully considered.

Suddenly, she asked, "Where is she from? How old is she? What's her last name? How did you know her? How long has she lived there? What are her features? Does she like to lie on her side or on her back when she rests? What kind of incense does she like to use? What color are her clothes? Does she prefer light or heavy taste?"

The series of questions left Wei Junhang speechless and he didn't know how to respond for a long time.

It would be strange if he knew what characteristics his cousin's wife had. I'm afraid that the emperor cousin would chop himself off first!

However, when he noticed the understanding look on his wife's face, he was immediately shocked.

No, if I can't even fool my wife, how can I fool those old foxes?

Thinking of this, he calmed himself down, his mind raced, and then he coughed and said calmly, "Her surname is Yan, she is from Qiyang, and she is in her twenties. I met her at a flower viewing party about four years ago, and two years later she moved into the house I bought privately in Bali Hutong."

"She...she has a red mole between her elbows. She likes to lie on her side when she rests. She doesn't like to use incense. She doesn't have a particular preference for clothes recently. She prefers to eat light food."

Wei Junhang felt proud that his answer was flawless, and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if to say, "Just come over here."

But Shen Xinyan just stared at him without saying a word, which made him feel uneasy and his scalp tingling.

Could it be that there is something wrong with his answer? No, it is up to me to decide what is true and what is false. How can the lady judge it?

Thinking of this, he made up his mind again and looked at the other person openly.

After a long while, Shen Xinyan slowly said, "My surname is Shen Xinyan, my ancestral home is Qiyang, I am twenty-six this year, and I first met my husband, the Prince of Yingguo, Wei Junhang, at the County Princess's Hundred Flowers Banquet..."

Wei Junhang's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

No, no way? He, he actually...

Shen Xinyan looked at his slightly changed expression, pursed her lips and said nothing. After a while, she slowly rolled up her left sleeve, and a bright red mole appeared on her elbow.

Wei Junhang's face changed drastically, and he suddenly felt that the situation was over. But he still wanted to hold on, and laughed dryly a few times, pretending to be surprised and said: "It turns out that the lady also has a red mole on her elbow. I didn't notice it before."

Is that correct? The mole is in a rather hidden location, and my wife is a shy person who usually doesn't allow the lights to be turned on during sex. So it's reasonable for him to say that he never noticed it, right?

Still want to deceive yourself?

Shen Xinyan sneered: "Yes, there are such coincidences in the world. Her surname is my given name, her ancestral home is the same as mine, she also has a red mole on her elbow, and she even met my husband at the same flower banquet. It's such a coincidence!"

"In that case, I am really looking forward to meeting this 'Miss Yan'!"

Wei Junhang laughed. Although he felt guilty in his heart, he tried hard to maintain a calm expression on his face.

Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Shen Xinyan couldn't help but feel annoyed, fearing that he would say something that she would regret in anger. She tried to take a deep breath and stared at his face without saying a word. However, she found that his face, which originally had a bit of guilt, was now becoming more and more calm, as if what he said could not be more true.

After seeing the end, even she couldn't help but wonder if she was wrong.

Frowning and thinking carefully about what had just happened, she dispelled this doubt.

Did this man really think she was blind? From the moment she came in until now, his attention had been on how to "make her believe in the mistress".

But what kind of husband in the world would try every means to make his wife believe that he really has a mistress outside.

It seems that "she believes" is more important than the "mistress" itself.

She was puzzled and her expression became more and more solemn.

Wei Junhang appeared to be very calm on the surface, but he was actually extremely upset.

He thought he was so powerful and felt that there was no one in the world he could not deceive as long as he wanted to. However, he did not expect that he would fall flat on his face in front of his wife today. If people like Qiao Liu and Heizi knew about this, they would definitely make fun of him!

He was filled with remorse, but he didn't realize it was because he had never been on guard against his wife, and because the incident happened suddenly, he was caught off guard and was tricked by Shen Xinyan.

"Is the girl from Bali Hutong really your mistress?" Shen Xinyan asked again.

"Yes." Wei Junhang straightened his back and replied.

Shen Xinyan sneered: "Your Highness is so shameless even though you have a concubine and have done something shameful. I didn't expect you to be so shameless."

Wei Junhang's heart skipped a beat again, and he finally realized the second mistake he had made.

That is, his words and actions were really not what a man should do after his wife discovered he had a mistress.

He was so upset that he wanted to hit himself on the head. He felt like a fool in front of his wife for making such stupid mistakes one after another.

It was a pity that I made a mistake in front of my wife. If I had done it in front of the enemy, I would not only fail to find out any useful information, but I might even lose my life!

Seeing that he looked frustrated but still had no intention of confessing, Shen Xinyan smiled angrily: "Okay, that's great!"

After saying that, he glared at him fiercely, turned around, and left with Qiutang.

"Madam, the prince is obviously lying, you must not let him fool you!" Qiu Tang whispered on the way back to the house.

Shen Xinyan snorted coldly: "Your wife is not that stupid. However, since he refuses to speak out, I don't need to be polite to him. Tomorrow I will let him see what a woman who finds out that her husband has a mistress should do!"

Qiu Tang was stunned, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. After a while, she shook her head and hurried after him.

Forget it, just leave them alone!

Wei Junhang, who was in the study, saw his wife leave in anger, and sat down on the couch in frustration. For a moment, he even had the urge to confess everything to her. Including what he was doing in secret, including the woman who came back to life from the dead in Bali Hutong...

But this thought only flashed through my mind and was covered up by reason again.

The most basic requirement for a royal spy is to keep their mouth shut. No matter who the other person is, even if they are their closest relatives, they cannot say a word that should not be said.

If he can't even bear this little grievance of being misunderstood, then all these years of his life have been in vain! He has also failed his mentor's years of careful cultivation.

Besides, the fact that Princess Rui was still alive was an absolute secret, and only a few of them knew about it. If he told his wife, how would he gain the trust of the man on the throne in the future?

Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. He can act unruly and unrestrained in front of that person, and even curse at him when he gets angry, but all this is because he always holds the bottom line.

And Princess Rui happens to be the bottom line in that person's heart, and he absolutely cannot touch it!

He rubbed his forehead, looked in the direction of the imperial city and sneered.

He had endured the injustice, but he couldn't bear it in vain. When he succeeded in the future, he would make that guy give him some compensation!

He couldn't help but think of Shen Xinyan's words "That's great" before she left, and he felt disappointed again.

What's good about it? It's not good at all. It's so frustrating!

A house somewhere in Bali Hutong.

The woman, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, stood by the window, staring blankly at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky.

"Madam, it's late, you should go to bed." The maid walked in slowly and advised softly.

"It's so ridiculous! I never imagined that one day I would become Wei Junhang's mistress!" The woman chuckled.

"This is just a temporary measure. Don't worry, Madam. The Master and the Crown Prince will take care of it." The maid consoled her, "When Madam becomes the Empress in the future..."

"The Queen?" The woman interrupted her with a chuckle. "You are a princess who has fallen to the point where you are neither a wife nor a concubine. You can't even appear in public with dignity. How can you talk about being the Queen? Even if Your Majesty wants to do this in the future, I will not be able to be the mother of the country."
