Qian Shengyan: ? ? ? ?
With a head full of questions and under everyone's gaze, she took a few steps forward under Yinzhen's intense stare, returning from the corner of the courtyard to the center of the event.
She swallowed hard, looked at Yinzhen pleadingly, and whispered, "I don't know anything about this... Why don't I go back first? Your Highness can then investigate this matter more thoroughly."
“No, you ask.” Yinzhen said in a deep voice.
Qian Shengyan: ...
An unexpected disaster.
What did she do to deserve this?
Helpless, Qian Shengyan sighed, thought for a moment, and decided to start by investigating the source.
She crouched down and asked Ulanara, "Fujin, do you recognize this person?"
Ulanara shook her head: "I have never seen it."
Qian Shengyan then looked at Yanruo with a questioning gaze, and Yanruo shook her head as well.
Should she ask a man outside the marriage? She wouldn't mind, but...
As expected, Yinzhen spoke up: "Su Peisheng."
Su Peisheng stepped forward and slapped the man across the face: "Speak!"
The man let out a wail, no longer daring to conceal the truth, and quickly said, "I am Zhou Chan, and I am... I am an old acquaintance of the Third Miss..."
"Who asked you that? How did you get in? How did you sneak into the Princess's courtyard?" Su Peisheng asked angrily.
Zhou Chan quickly confessed, "I have known the Third Miss for a long time. I heard that she... came to the garden as a guest, and I missed her terribly. So I asked Uncle Zhou, who was in charge of carriages and horses at the Ulanara mansion, for help. When the Madam came to pay her respects to the Fujin, I changed my clothes and mingled with the maids to get into the garden..."
"Then you took advantage of Madam's inattention to sneak into the Third Miss's room and even insulted her?" Su Peisheng shouted sternly.
"No! I'm innocent!" Zhou Chan cried out. "I only wanted to say a few words to the Third Miss to express my longing. I am not talented, but I do have some official rank. How could I do such a shameless thing?"
No one answered him, but the eyes of the others conveyed a message.
Zhou Chan choked, not caring about anything else, and quickly said, "It was the Third Miss! I had just entered the room when the Third Miss hugged me! She, she even kissed me and pulled at my clothes!" Seeing the disbelief in everyone's eyes, he explained even more forcefully, "It's true, it's true! I was startled at the time, I didn't even see who it was before she pounced on me! But, but the Third Miss called my name, and she even took off her own clothes, I, I really couldn't take it, so..."
"Alright! What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of offending our masters' ears?" Su Peisheng quickly scolded.
Zhou Chan stood awkwardly to the side, not daring to speak. He even subconsciously rubbed his lower back, as if he had really been ravaged.
Qian Shengyan couldn't bear to watch any longer. She secretly glanced at Yinzhen and saw that his expression had calmed down. She was about to slack off and ignore it when she heard the prince give a nonchalant "Hmm?"
...Qian Shengyan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.
She glanced at Ulanara, who had collapsed to the ground in disbelief, then walked up to Xinrui, but hesitated, unsure of what to ask.
"Ha, you don't need to ask, I'll tell you myself." Xinrui glared at Ulanara, her eyes blazing with fury. "After my aunt left this afternoon, my dear sister gave me a pill, saying it was some kind of medicine to guarantee pregnancy. But after I took it, I felt hot all over, and gradually I became delirious..." Her makeup was ruined by tears, but she still choked on her sobs as she insisted on continuing, "I didn't even know who came in, I was just thinking... I've completely lost my mind, sob sob sob..."
Qian Shengyan frowned: "So...you think there's something wrong with the medicine?"
"But those pills are indeed fertility aids!" Ulanara exclaimed in surprise and doubt. "Xinrui, your father found this prescription; my mother merely brought it in! And, and..."
She couldn't continue speaking, and Qian Shengyan glanced at Yinzhen's gloomy face, quickly asking, "And what?"
"And I ate it myself... I ate it too! I... I'm fine..." Ulanara collapsed to her knees on the ground, stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand to cover her face, tears streaming down her face through her fingers. "How could things have turned out like this..."
"Heh, where are the pills?" Yinzhen was truly exasperated. No matter what he said, Ulanara wouldn't listen. He didn't need her to answer and directly said, "Su Peisheng, search the entire Yue Di Yun Ju for me! Don't leave any medicinal herbs, prescriptions, or pills behind!"
Su Peisheng responded and left, but Ulanara looked at Yinzhen in fright: "Your Highness, my bedchamber..."
"The bedchamber? Ha! Su Peisheng, search every inch of this place! Dig three feet into the ground in this Yue Di Yun Ju, I want to see how many more good medicines the Fujin has hidden!" Yinzhen roared.
Su Peisheng responded loudly again, then turned and led his men into the hall.
Qian Shengyan hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, perhaps I should go back first? Foerguochun should be asleep..."
"Wait a moment." Yinzhen said, walking over and bending down, pinching Ulanara's chin with two fingers to make her eye level with his, and said coldly, "Ulanara Pinghe, if you only want to be a member of the Ulanara family, then get out of this Yuanmingyuan!"
Ulanara looked at him with tears in her eyes, her lips moving slightly: "Your Highness..."
"You can't remember why you've repeatedly confined your son to his quarters? Why do you trust the Ulanara family so much? You won't listen to a word I say, but you believe everything the Ulanara family says, no matter who it is." He slammed Ulanara to the ground. "Open your eyes and take a good look! Your son is gone, your wet nurse is gone, and you've even killed your sister. What do you have left? Hmm? Don't you know how all this happened?"
