"Ah... Lingzhi, Lingzhi, where are you? Mother, Mother, where are you? Ah, ah..."
Wu Jin'er was anxious and scared, tears streaming down her face. Seeing her clothes beside her, she quickly grabbed them and shakily put them on.
"Waaaaah... How could this happen..."
Wu Jin'er shakily dressed herself. At this moment, Wu Laosan, who was lying on his back on the ground, also woke up.
"Miss, young lady..."
At this moment, Granny Jia, who was by Xing's side, also came over with her maids and happened to see this scene.
Granny Jia was stunned.
The aunt was afraid that the girl might do something impulsive, so she asked her to quickly bring people out to search.
But... but now...
Was she still too late?
"Girl, girl, you, you..."
Granny Jia reacted quickly, immediately ordering the two maids behind her to close the door and forbidding anyone from making a sound.
"Granny Jia! Waaah... I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore!"
Wu Jin'er was sobbing, and Granny Jia came over and hugged her, coaxing her in a low voice, "Fourth Miss, don't talk nonsense, be good..."
Granny Jia was also extremely flustered.
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she could roughly guess what was going on based on the current situation.
It must be the Fourth Sister... who tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead, and shot herself in the foot.
Wu San, who was standing to the side, had already gotten dressed and was trembling, too afraid to speak.
Granny Jia angrily demanded, "What exactly happened? What... what did you do to the Fourth Miss?"
"I...I..."
How would he know?
When he came in, he didn't see anyone in the room. Later, he heard some noise behind the screen. Wu Laosan went over to check, but suddenly someone punched him in the head.
He then fainted.
When I woke up, my head was still spinning, and all I could see was the fourth young lady, her clothes disheveled, crying and sobbing.
Wu Laosan trembled and couldn't say anything.
After Jia Mama dressed Wu Jin'er, she couldn't imagine how furious the Marquis and his concubine would be if they found out about this.
"Fourth Miss, let's go first---"
Before he could finish speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside, and a large group of people poured in...
Not far outside.
Qin Sheng had changed into a clean set of clothes, while Emerald, standing to the side, was pale and still shaken.
“He brought it on himself, hmph,” Emerald spat.
Just now, Yunyin's guards arrived. He told me to take my wife and leave first, and then he did something alone in the side room.
However, it seems now---
"Thank you very much, Guard Yun." Qin Sheng curtsied to Yun Yin.
Yun Yin was startled and quickly avoided her curtsy, saying, "You mustn't do that, Madam Qin. From now on, you will be Yun Yin's mistress!"
He chuckled again after saying that, "My lady, you should go back quickly. I'll take care of things here for you."
Qin Sheng was indeed worried that her sisters would get impatient.
So he nodded, glanced again at the messy room, and left with Emerald.
...
Yue Rongheng was boating on the lake with several young men he knew.
Just as everyone finished teasing him about his marriage, they saw a woman walking towards them with her maid; it was Qin Sheng.
Yue Rongheng's gaze fell on Qin Sheng almost the instant she walked over and remained fixed on her.
Qin Sheng also saw him and subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
She didn't come here to see Yue Rongheng.
The Qin sisters were unaware of what had happened in the side room. To avoid worrying them, Qin Sheng did not allow Emerald to tell them.
She only told Jade that she was a little tired and wanted to rest for a while, and asked her sisters to go boating first.
Qin Sheng came here to wait for them.
I just didn't expect to run into Yue Rongheng and his group.
"Your Highness, oh dear, I suddenly remembered I have an appointment, so I'll have to go now. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Someone winked at Yue Rongheng.
"Oh, I also have an appointment, I'll be going now!"
"I suddenly remembered I have some matters to attend to at home, so I must take my leave now. We can discuss scholarship together again next time, Your Highness!"
"..."
Before long, the young men Yue Rongheng knew all left, leaving him alone by the lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Qin Sheng suddenly burst out laughing.
She had originally intended to avoid suspicion, but now it seems there's no need for that anymore.
"I just came from over there and saw that the peonies were blooming beautifully. Would you like to come and take a look together?" Yue Rongheng asked with a smile.
"No, thank you."
Qin Sheng knew someone was looking their way, and whispered, "Let's keep a low profile, I'll go first."
After saying this, he curtsied to him and left.
Yue Rongheng: "..."
He wanted to say a few more words to her, but a quick glance around revealed that there were indeed too many people around, making it inconvenient.
But things will be better after we get married.
After they got married, he gradually handed over the important matters of the family and the country to Xiao'er, and he wanted to spend more of his time with his wife.
Thinking this way, a smile unconsciously crept into Yue Rongheng's eyes, and he began to look forward to his married life.
...
The Princess's Residence.
After finally getting rid of the relatives who came to inquire about the news, the eldest princess leaned back on the acacia couch, exhausted.
"Sigh." She couldn't help but sigh again.
This was already the umpteenth time the princess had sighed in recent days; her face was full of worry.
That troublesome younger brother said that he has his eye on the legitimate daughter of the Left Censorate, Qin Sheng, who recently returned from her divorce.
He also said that he would marry no one but Qin Sheng in this lifetime.
What other options did she have?
However, Granny Wen, who was standing to the side, laughed and said, "You just said that as long as His Highness is willing to get married, that's fine. Rather than forcing him to marry a woman he doesn't like and make him unhappy, it's better to follow his own heart. Marrying someone he likes and how their life turns out is their own business."
That's what they say.
The eldest princess raised her hand to rub her forehead, "But tell me, why did he have to fall for someone who was divorced..."
Ultimately, the eldest princess still cared about the royal family's reputation.
For over a hundred years since the founding of the Great Xiang Dynasty, no member of the imperial family has ever married a divorced woman as his principal wife.
Sure enough, in the past few days, groups of relatives have been coming to her to inquire about news.
Granny Wen smiled and offered a few more words of comfort. As she comforted him, the princess herself came to terms with it, saying, "Let him do what he wants. It's better for him to get married than for him to be a lonely man for the rest of his life."
...
On her way back, Qin Sheng ran into Yue Rongheng riding a horse, who brazenly climbed into her carriage.
The two talked for a while, and even after they returned to the villa, Qin Sheng's cheeks were still flushed.
Jade followed behind, carrying a small box in her hand.
