Chapter 2 Catching an adulterer in a brothel
Although Lin Zhaoyue already knew these things, it did not prevent her from listening to them again.
Shortly after she left the capital, a woman who looked similar to her appeared in the capital, and dressed and looked just like her.
At first, the noble ladies and young men in the capital all laughed at her for trying to draw a tiger but ended up drawing a dog instead.
Especially the prince consort, who teased her several times.
But before long, all of them were conquered by this woman.
They all said of her: "She is kind, gentle, and considerate, but in fact, she is nothing like the arrogant and domineering Princess Zhaohua."
Even the prince would often go to her, competing for her favor out of jealousy, and offended many sons of officials for this.
She secretly sent someone to investigate this woman.
She is Chu Yinyin, the illegitimate daughter of Chu Zhengqing, the prefect of Huainan.
It is said that he was not favored since childhood and was raised in a side courtyard.
Until three years ago, a Taoist priest said that Chu Yinyin had a noble destiny and could bring endless wealth and prosperity to the Chu family.
The Chu family began to take Chu Yinyin seriously and brought her to the capital when Chu Zhengqing returned to Beijing to report on his work a year ago.
He also bought a house for her and kept her in the capital.
The man mentioned in those words, Lu Chenzhou, is her husband and the son of Marquis Xuanping.
He inherited the throne of crown prince before he was sixteen years old.
The first thing he did after inheriting the title of Crown Prince was to ask his father to marry him.
She actually has no love for Lu Chenzhou.
However, Lu Chenzhou had shown his kindness to her many times and had saved her life, so she agreed to the marriage.
When they got married, Lu Chenzhou promised her that he would only love her in this life, and he also flattered her many times.
Her heart was also moved by his sweet words and flattery.
However, every time he wanted to have close contact with her, she would avoid him or scold him.
Everyone said that Princess Zhaohua never slept with her husband, so her husband became a widow at a young age.
But in reality, she can't touch men at all.
She has a disease that causes her to become allergic and itchy all over her body whenever she has skin contact with a man.
She was born by her mother at the border, and she spent a long time outside the palace when she was young, so even her father didn't know about the disease.
So after two years of marriage, she and Lu Chenzhou had never slept together, let alone had physical contact.
She had originally planned to use the opportunity of recuperating and cultivating her body and mind during her year away from Beijing to seek out famous doctors.
If this disease can be cured, the prince consort's affection will not be in vain.
But I didn’t expect that it would only take one year.
Everything has changed.
And she also understood why she had this disease that made her unable to touch men.
That was clearly an imposed setting to make the male protagonist Lu Chenzhou remain a virgin for the female protagonist.
And she was on her way to Zuihualou.
Those words revealed that after she found out that her husband was with another woman, she would be furious and catch them in the act.
But this time, catching her cheating ruined her own reputation.
They said that if she broke into the brothel and saw the two of them being so affectionate, she would humiliate Chu Yinyin on the spot.
The prince consort Lu Chenzhou would scold her for Chu Yinyin and ask for a divorce, but she was unwilling to do so.
Everyone would side with Chu Yinyin, thinking she was domineering and vicious, for breaking up a couple. She clearly didn't like her husband, yet she insisted on tying him up.
This also led Lu Chenzhou to the path of exchanging fame for a divorce letter, and also led Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin to a tragic love story.
But today, she must catch the adulterer.
Zuihualou is the best guest room for watching performances.
Chu Yinyin lowered her head shyly, "Why are you always looking at me? I'm wearing men's clothes today, you will give people misunderstandings..."
Lu Chenzhou stared at her deeply, and then looked away after a moment. "Nothing, I just feel that you don't look much like her."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyin's expression changed slightly, her eyes reddened and she smiled bitterly:
"I am Chu Yinyin... I am not someone else. I will never be like the princess. How can someone like me compare with the princess? The princess is of noble birth and is the most beautiful woman in the capital..."
Lu Chenzhou frowned, "No, you... are much better than her. You are gentle and considerate, gentle and kind. She is domineering, arrogant and noble, and would never speak to me like you."
"You don't need to compare yourself to her, just be yourself."
Hearing this, Chu Yinyin's lips curled up into a smile.
Suddenly her chin was lifted up, and her deer-like eyes were misty, staring at Lu Chenzhou in fear.
Lu Chenzhou stroked her pink lips with his fingertips, his voice filled with ambiguity, "He's much more obedient than her..."
Chu Yinyin suddenly turned her head away, her voice filled with a hint of grievance and regret, "Master Lu, you are the consort of the emperor..."
Lu Chenzhou's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Maybe it won't be that soon."
Lin Zhaoyue was still on her way to Zuihualou.
But those texts were already broadcasting the progress of Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin to her.
[The male protagonist is a perfect example of virtuous behavior! Not only does he remain a chaste man, but he also immediately tells his wife he wants a divorce when she feels wronged!]
[Female supporting role, I now order you to go and cause trouble so that the male lead can divorce you immediately!]
[Female supporting character, please be more careful. Your husband is having an affair and wants to divorce you... Oh, forget it, I'm the only one who feels bad for you.]
Lin Zhaoyue: “…”
Among these words, there are often adjectives or nouns that she has never seen before.
But because she had seen it so many times, she roughly knew the meaning of those words.
Husband refers to her husband, and wife means wife.
A mistress is probably of the same nature as a concubine.
It seems that Lu Chenzhou and Chu Yinyin are really inseparable now.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the entrance of Zuihua Tower." Mu Ying's voice came.
Xiao Qi was about to rush down, but was stopped by Zhao Yue, who whispered something in her ear.
Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, he nodded and immediately got off the carriage.
In just half a cup of tea, bursts of noise were heard from Zuihualou.
"Eldest sister!" Xiao Qi poked her head in from behind the gauze curtain, her face full of excitement, "The fight is about to start!"
A beautiful white hand slowly stretched out from the gauze curtain. Mu Ying immediately stepped forward to take it and helped Zhao Yue get out of the carriage.
At this time, Zuihualou was extremely lively.
A woman dressed in a gorgeous blue and white dress pointed angrily at the woman dressed in men's clothing, "You vixen, did you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you were wearing men's clothing? I didn't expect you to actually seduce the prince consort! And you actually brought the prince consort to a place like this?! What are you thinking?!"
When Lin Zhaoyue entered Zuihua Tower, she saw the daughter of Minister Pei pointing at the "young man" behind Lu Chenzhou and cursing at him.
Although the young girl was dressed in men's clothes, she could be identified as a woman at a glance.
The style and color of this men's clothing were exactly what she wore in the past to avoid trouble when she went out.
As for appearance, she really couldn't see any resemblance.
"It's common knowledge in the capital that Miss Pei is in love with Prince Lu. Even after Prince Lu became a royal consort, Miss Pei vowed never to marry..."
"No wonder Miss Pei is so angry, it turns out she's just jealous..."
The people in Zuihualou were talking about it.
Lu Chenzhou protected Chu Yinyin behind him and said angrily, "That's enough! Pei Wanxing! If you continue to make trouble here, don't blame me for being rude."
