Ni Yueshuang's eyes lit up, but what she showed was a hint of anxiety and worry: "I came to the princess's mansion with my eldest sister. If anything happens to my eldest sister, how will I explain to my father and mother when I return? I have to go and see!"
She stood up and prepared to leave, looking really anxious and worried.
Someone on the side said, "Miss Ni Er does have some truth to what she said. If something happens, it will be hard to explain if you go back. It's a good idea to go along and take a look."
"I seem to have annoyed Miss Ni at the banquet just now. I think I should go with Miss Yueshuang." Wanqing stepped forward and took Ni Yueshuang's arm.
Ni Yueshuang glanced at her, her eyes dark, while Wanqing gently consoled her, "I'm afraid it has something to do with how I just pissed off your eldest sister, so I can only feel at ease if I follow you."
"Okay then, let's go together." Ni Yueshuang looked reluctant and helpless.
She knew that Wanqing was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel and Yang Wanyan's half-sister. This was because Yang Wanyan disliked Ni Yueshan.
The two of them chased in the direction Jing Yu'e had left. The eldest princess's skirt trailed on the ground, and she walked very gracefully, so she was quickly caught up. Seeing the people following her, she looked suspicious: "What are you two doing?"
The two of them repeated what they had just said to the others. Jing Yu'e showed hesitation, but finally relented: "Okay, then, follow me."
The door to the room where Ni Yueshan was changing was locked, and she couldn't get in. Wanqing looked suspicious, "Didn't Miss Ni come here to change clothes? Why is the door locked?"
Jing Yu'e looked embarrassed, as if she had something to hide.
The maidservant beside her explained, "I came here to deliver clean clothes to Miss Ni, but I heard a voice outside the door that made people blush. I panicked and didn't dare to enter without permission."
"But I felt that leaving was immoral and I couldn't let it go. In the end, I decided to lock it up and wait for the princess to come and deal with it..."
She looked so shy that she couldn't even lift her head. Wanqing and Ni Yueshuang exchanged a glance, their faces flushed. It was a shameless act...
So they already had a vague idea of what was going on here.
"Ahem, please, Princess, please investigate this matter and don't let the Ni family innocently gain any bad reputation. If this gets out, it will affect the reputation of the entire Ni family."
Ni Yueshuang frowned slightly, with a sad expression. She looked like she was very angry at Ni Yueshan's incompetence, but also felt ashamed for Ni Yueshan.
Jing Yu'e's expression was extremely serious: "Don't worry, this princess will not wrongly accuse anyone."
"Go and open the door." Jing Yu'e glanced at the maid, and the maid went forward to open the door.
Ni Yueshuang's dark pupils were full of brilliance. Ni Yueshan was divorced and sent back home. It was originally an opportunity to humiliate her, but Ni Yueshan played a good trick and was framed by her. Now, Ni Yueshan walked into the trap herself?
A smug smile appeared on Ni Yueshuang's lips.
"Princess..."
A voice sounded not far away, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound. Originally everyone was sitting at the banquet, but now many people came running over.
Their eyes were all shining with excitement, and someone stepped forward:
"Princess, are we overthinking this? Could something have happened to Miss Ni?"
Ni Yueshuang was naturally delighted to see so many people coming, but she maintained a depressed expression on her face:
"My dear daughter, please don't make blind guesses. There were only some strange noises coming from the room. It doesn't mean that my eldest sister is secretly having an affair with someone. Please don't make blind guesses!"
These words sounded like she was speaking up for Ni Yueshan and telling everyone not to overthink things, but her words revealed all the information she knew.
Everyone present knew what was going on...
Someone's cheeks flushed. "This, this kind of thing really needs to be clarified, otherwise, it will really ruin the eldest daughter of the Ni family."
Wanqing also spoke up, "Isn't it? Everyone saw clearly at the banquet that Miss Ni was so majestic and awe-inspiring. How could she be such a filthy person? Once the door is opened, the truth will be revealed to everyone."
Everyone present wanted to watch the fun, and the maid slowly pushed the door open.
Jing Yu'e said with a serious expression, "No matter what happened today, please remember your identities. You are daughters of wealthy families who have been educated in propriety, righteousness, and integrity. You must not be like ordinary people and spread false information."
"Yes, I will follow the instructions of the Princess."
As the door opened, everyone looked over there with wide eyes.
The maid walked in and didn't see anyone, so she continued walking forward and went into the room.
The corners of Ni Yueshuang's mouth slowly rose. Ni Yueshan, ah Ni Yueshan, you should have a bad reputation to begin with. After what happened today, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your head up in the future.
There was still no one inside, and the maid's expression changed...
She looked at Jing Yu'e, "Princess, I clearly heard panting in here..."
But now, how come the person disappeared out of thin air?
She looked embarrassed and a little flustered, but Jing Yu'e said calmly, "Search!"
"yes."
But the maid looked around for a long time but couldn't find anyone. Wanqing, Ni Yueshuang and others' faces changed. Didn't they see the joke they wanted to see?
When everyone was puzzled, a voice sounded outside the door, "Why are they all here?"
Ni Yueshan looked at everyone suspiciously: "What are you doing?"
She was still wearing the ice-blue dress that was stained by the sweet soup, and she looked at the crowd around her with curiosity.
"Sister, where have you been? This maid said she couldn't find you and is getting anxious."
Ni Yueshan smiled sheepishly: "I just had to go to the bathroom because I had to. Why don't you smell it? It still smells good."
Ni Yueshuang's expression changed, and she took several steps back: "What are you doing? Don't go too far!"
Ni Yueshan snorted disdainfully, then looked at Jing Yu'e:
"Princess, I'm just going to the bathroom. I don't mean to wander around. Even if my bathroom break takes a little longer, there's no need for so many people to come. Do they need to change clothes too?"
Jing Yu'e looked at Ni Yueshan with scrutiny. The door was clearly locked. Anyone without lightness skills would get hurt if they jumped out of the window. Moreover, there was smoke blowing in, so it was impossible for Ni Yueshan to escape!
Jing Yu'e stepped forward with a friendly look on her face and grabbed Ni Yueshan's wrist. "She was my maid, and she was just organizing the banquet. She didn't get enough sleep recently, so she started hallucinating and caused this misunderstanding."
"I'm glad you're okay. Change your clothes. This princess is still waiting for your poems, Miss Ni."
Jing Yu'e's eyes flickered. Why, why was her pulse so stable? Shouldn't she have been drugged by smoke?
