Chapter 16: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkeys
These young ladies looked at each other, then smiled and nodded.
"Miss Chu is a nice person and knows some new and interesting gadgets, so naturally I like her."
Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin had already walked to the center of the field.
Hearing the praises from the young ladies, Chu Yinyin's face also showed a hint of joy.
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled slightly, "I heard that Miss Wang is engaged to the son of Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Personnel?"
Miss Wang's cheeks flushed and she nodded.
"Then I will make the decision and marry Miss Chu to Master Zhang, how about that?"
Miss Wang's face turned pale. "Wha...what?"
Not only Miss Wang changed her expression, but also Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin.
Lin Zhaoyue: "Since Miss Wang said that any man would be moved, I think she wouldn't have any objections. I am willing to make this a good thing. If Miss Wang and Master Zhang are truly in love, how about becoming sisters with Miss Chu and sharing a husband?"
Miss Wang was about to burst into tears: "Princess..."
Lin Zhaoyue looked at the other two daughters and said with a smile, "Don't worry, when the two daughters have engagements in the future, I will take care of them one by one."
The two daughters immediately knelt down and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, we know we are wrong. Please have mercy on us!"
[It's so funny, only when the whip falls on yourself will you feel the pain]
[Weren't you all speaking up for Chu Yinyin just now? Why can't you stand it now that it's your turn?]
[Isn't the supporting actress too much? Others are just saying a few words on behalf of the heroine. Is that necessary?]
[You're defending the mistress when her husband is cheating on her. Why don't you speak well of the woman you're sharing a husband with?]
Chu Yinyin bit her lip with a stubborn look on her face: "I don't want it. I will never share a husband with another woman in my life! I, Chu Yinyin, would rather die than spend the rest of my life with someone I don't love!"
Lu Chenzhou's eyes were gloomy. Although he was angry, his tone was much gentler than before. "Yinyin came here to apologize to you today. Please don't be like this."
This change in tone surprised Lin Zhaoyue a little.
Concubine Chun wanted to say something, but she didn't have the chance to speak at all.
Lin Zhaoyue ignored the words of Chu Yinyin and Lu Chenzhou, sneered, and spoke slowly, "As for the daughters of the royal family speaking outrageously at my welcoming banquet, you dared to slander me based on a woman's unfounded words, committing a crime of insubordination. As the saying goes, a father's fault is the fault of a child who fails to educate him. I will hold your fathers accountable."
After hearing this, the daughters of wealthy families who had just spoken up for Chu Yinyin regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
If they go home, their father will probably beat them to death.
What good will come of offending Princess Zhaohua?
They shouldn't have listened to Concubine Chun!
They kowtowed repeatedly and begged for forgiveness, but Lin Zhaoyue just waved her hand, and someone came over and helped them sit up.
But they were in no mood to have a banquet, as they all looked like they had lost their parents.
Chu Yinyin immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with you sisters. Everyone has their own responsibility. It's me..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lin Zhaoyue.
"Since Miss Chu was specially invited by Concubine Chun, I will naturally treat her as her own. Since she is Concubine Chun's person, I will naturally treat her well." Lin Zhaoyue said in a clear voice: "Come here, why don't you quickly find a seat for Miss Chu. Oh, right, let her sit with Master Lu."
Her head hurts when she hears Chu Yinyin talking.
She was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would beat her to death on the spot.
The people below immediately went to look for seats.
When Concubine Chun heard this, her expression became very unhappy.
Now that Lin Zhaoyue has made Chu Yinyin her own, no matter what Chu Yinyin does, it may be blamed on her.
No matter how much she likes Chu Yinyin, it is a fact that she is having an affair with the prince consort, and it is also a fact that she is entangled with the prince consort and the prince.
By then, the story might spread that it was a real aunt who deliberately found a woman who looked like the princess to seduce the prince consort and the crown prince.
How can this teach her how to behave?
Lu Chenzhou also had a grim expression on his face.
Lin Zhaoyue actually felt the resentment and dissatisfaction in Lu Chenzhou's eyes when he looked at her, and refused to sit down for a long time.
What is he dissatisfied with?
Someone said, "Isn't this inappropriate? The princess and her husband haven't divorced yet. Isn't it absurd for Miss Chu to sit with her husband? Where does that put the princess?"
"It's just... is the princess really that good-tempered?"
"Are these two here to slap the princess in the face? If that's the case, Prince Lu is too despicable, and so is Chu Yinyin. Not only are they ignorant, but they are also so tactless..."
"I wonder what Concubine Chun's intentions are... Is she deliberately trying to embarrass the princess?"
…
[The vicious female supporting role didn't humiliate the heroine, this is wrong]
[Ah, isn't it the heroine who gets insulted by the vicious female supporting character, and then everyone speaks up for her? This is the heroine's popularity highlight and important face-slapping moment!]
[Hahaha, whoever speaks up for Chu Yinyin will take her home as a mistress. I have to say the princess is really smart!]
[Who is the mistress? What did the heroine do to be a mistress? The vicious female supporting role is keeping the hero hooked and not letting him like her?]
Although Concubine Chun was speaking up for Chu Yinyin, she also knew that it was inappropriate at this time.
"That's not good. Chen Zhou is still the prince consort. If the princess arranges them to sit together, won't people gossip about it?"
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips. "What are you saying, Concubine Chun? It's not the first day you've known what they did behind my back. If there's any gossip, don't you know it better than me?"
The smile on Concubine Chun's face froze, and a hint of anger disappeared from her eyes.
"Princess, you misunderstood. Chen Zhou and you are the real couple."
Lin Zhaoyue looked coldly at the singing and dancing at the banquet. When she glanced at Lu Chenzhou, she saw that he had not sat down, he was just standing there.
Chu Yinyin looked at him with a sad face, and looked towards him from time to time.
There was pain as well as a hint of grievance and unwillingness in those eyes.
Suddenly, Lin Zhaoyue caught a glimpse of Xiaoqi out of the corner of her eye. He seemed to be mumbling something to Pei Wanxing, and then he took out a stack of books?
Her brow twitched slightly.
What is Xiaoqi doing?
[Is Xiaoqi selling books?]
【Hahahahaha, shouldn't Xiaoqi make money? 】
[Great! Selling these books to these rich ladies, wouldn't Chu Yinyin become a mistress that everyone hates?]
[If you ask me, Xiao Qi is much smarter than his ungrateful brother.]
Lin Zhaoyue: “…”
She was originally surprised that Xiao Qi didn't bother her today.
Now I understand why.
But why did Pei Wanxing get involved?
Concubine Chun suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and continued, "As the saying goes, there's no overnight hatred between husband and wife. Zhaoyue, you'd better not make a fuss about your divorce with Chen Zhou. Over the years, Chen Zhou has endured a lot of rumors as a son-in-law, so you have to understand him..."
Zhao Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes.
She spoke as if she were not a widow.
Didn't she touch any men?
However, she also knew the purpose of Concubine Chun holding this welcoming banquet for her today.
In addition to deliberately embarrassing her and saying good things about Chu Yinyin, she made everyone think that she was a jealous and cruel person.
He also wanted to keep Lu Chenzhou's position as the son-in-law of the emperor.
Persuade her from wanting a divorce.
Is this Lu Chenzhou's intention, or the Lu family's intention...
At this moment, Chu Yinyin suddenly stood up, staring at Lin Zhaoyue, and said with resentment, "Your Highness, I really have something to say. Even if I risk being beheaded, I will say it today."
At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by Chu Yinyin.
