Chapter 74: Evil Enters the Body
If Si Linglong had been deceiving her before, she was already convinced when she saw the panic revealed in Zhuang Chang's eyes for a moment.
This guy is really pretending.
Although Si Linglong was not familiar with the original owner's circle of friends in the palace, she knew the original owner's personality well.
Although it was possible for them to get along as daughters of merchants, the original owner was brought up as a noble lady. In order to make her look better when she entered the palace, the Si family even donated an official position for her, so that she could at least have the title of an official's daughter.
Even so, Lipin was still the daughter of a woman who donated money to become an official.
Being criticized for her background like this, with her personality, the original owner would only think that her background was a stain on her, and naturally it was impossible for her to hang out with Zhuang Changzai, who was also a businesswoman.
This is the same as the fact that in aristocratic schools, the heirs of a group will not associate with the nouveau riche, and the nouveau riche do not necessarily look up to each other.
The reason why Si Linglong suspected that the other party was pretending to be familiar was because of Shu Hong's momentary hesitation.
If the two people were really familiar with each other and Si Linglong didn't remember each other, Shu Hong shouldn't have been so hesitant.
Si Linglong then planned to cheat the other party, but unexpectedly, she was actually cheated out of it.
And judging from her reaction just now, she was pretending to be familiar with him on purpose, or someone had deliberately instructed her to do so.
Si Linglong subconsciously looked in the direction of Concubine Li.
As expected, he met Lipin's sneering eyes.
She had a bad feeling in her heart.
She stood up and was about to leave when Lipin called her loudly, "The ceremony is about to begin, where are you going, Lang Guiren?"
Si Linglong turned her head, her expression normal, and smiled slightly, "Sister is just going to change clothes."
Lipin obviously didn't want to ask her to leave. "Mr. Lang has only been sitting for a while and you want to change your clothes. Are you dissatisfied with the sacrifices prepared by the ladies?"
If she was just doubtful just now, Si Linglong was certain now.
Lipin is preparing to cause trouble today!
Although she didn't know what she was going to do, the numerous palace intrigues she had witnessed told her that the best thing to do was to leave.
Not wanting to get too involved with Concubine Li, Si Linglong wanted to leave, but at this moment, the wizards in charge of the ceremony had already walked up to the altar and saluted the concubines.
Bai Qianqian took this opportunity to speak up, "Mr. Lang, the ceremony is about to begin. There is no rush to change clothes. If you bump into the mage, it would be very immature."
Si Linglong frowned, and Concubine Quan also looked at her, her eyes were cold, but she would not refute, "Everyone, sit down. Please let the master start."
Since Concubine Quan had spoken, Si Linglong couldn't just walk away without caring. As she watched the master begin the sacrificial ceremony, Si Linglong felt an even stronger sense of foreboding.
Suddenly, she turned her gaze to Concubine Quan in front of her, and with a roll of her eyes, she had an idea.
"I, my stomach hurts..."
Si Linglong suddenly cried out while holding her stomach. This movement instantly attracted everyone's attention. Lipin almost stood up at once, "Langguiren! You are so insolent. You dare to pretend on a day like this!"
When Concubine Li made this accusation, all the concubines present, including Concubine Quan, frowned.
Si Linglong looked aggrieved and was about to explain, "No, I am...ugh!"
As Si Linglong was speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth and pretended to vomit.
This reaction made the concubines present feel startled.
They are so sensitive to this reaction!
Could it be...
Without waiting for anyone to guess, Si Linglong had already supported Shu Hong and seemed to be talking to herself, "My period seems to be late this month..."
As he spoke, he showed an uncomfortable look on his face and squeezed Shuhong's hand hard, "Shuhong, hurry up and call Doctor Yu and the Emperor for me, my stomach hurts so much... ugh..."
Shu Hong didn't know that her master was pretending, and she was confused when she heard her say that. She quickly responded and was about to call for help. The concubines around her were still immersed in the shock that she might be pregnant, and did not realize that there was anything wrong for a moment.
However, at this moment, the wizard on the stage came over, pointed at Si Linglong, and said, "I think your abdominal pain is not unusual. It should be a symptom of evil spirits entering your body!"
When the mage said this, all the concubines around were startled and subconsciously looked at Si Linglong.
Si Linglong stared at the mage and said,
"You farted!"
