Chapter 202 Threats, Blatant Threats
She already had a guilty conscience, and going to such a manor, could it be that her affairs had been seen through, and they were probably going to torture her with ghosts?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
My body couldn't stop shaking.
Seeing how excited she was, Miss Lu and Miss Shao were a little puzzled. Although the story was a bit strange, there were many stories like this in Beijing, but none of them were so scary. This Miss Shi was really strange.
Le Yi smiled faintly. "As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Since Miss Shi didn't do anything, why should you be afraid?"
"I..." Miss Shi gritted her teeth.
The remaining two, Miss Lu and Miss Shao, also noticed something. They were afraid that Miss Shi must have done something to attract Princess Le Yi and others, and they were just pulled in to serve as a foil.
But what on earth did this Miss Shi do that made the princess go to such great lengths to summon her?
However, Princess Le Yi has always had a good reputation in Beijing, and the two are willing to cooperate.
If you can do the princess a favor, why not do it?
"It's said that Mingyue Manor is very interesting. If you do bad things and carry the karma with you wherever you go, you'll be haunted by strange things. I seem to have heard that someone went there before and came back with nightmares all night long. It was only after her family finally found a master that they were able to recover."
Miss Shao nodded. "I've heard about this incident, too. It was a huge commotion at the time. People lost so much weight in just a few days. I really don't believe it has nothing to do with Mingyue Manor."
Song Ci almost laughed out loud. These two young ladies were really wonderful. They saw through the situation but didn't point it out, and even cooperated with it.
These words in her ears were like ice, making Miss Shi feel a chill down her spine even in the summer. She glanced around and vaguely felt as if a pair of invisible eyes were looking at her wherever she looked.
Her nails dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain at all. Her brows were furrowed, her face was pale, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
It was so obvious that anyone present would be a fool if they didn't know that she had done something wrong.
"Miss Shi, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" Song Ci asked after taking a sip of tea.
"I, I, Miss Song, I......"
Seeing her hesitant and unable to speak for a long time, Miss Lu and Miss Shao stood up and said that it was getting late and they wanted to leave. Princess Le Yi ordered the maids who served her to escort them out, and the two of them followed her with smiles.
Asking the close and personal nanny to deliver the ceremony also indirectly indicated that Princess Le Yi was very satisfied with their performance today.
Now that the secret has been established, there's no need to keep it. As for this Miss Shi...
Smart people know that the less you know, the safer you are.
After everyone left, the surroundings became quiet. Miss Shi stood up tremblingly, took two steps forward, and knelt down with a "thump".
"Please, Your Highness the Princess and Miss Song, forgive me just once."
Prince Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "What have you done that requires others to forgive you?"
"I, I..."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
After being scolded by Prince Yu, Miss Shi sobbed and explained the whole story in detail.
Including but not limited to how the princess found her and what conditions she promised. She was blinded by the conditions and agreed to them.
"Chen Qingman told you that she could make you the prince's concubine?" Le Yi seemed to have heard a huge joke, and her whole body was shaking with laughter.
"Princess Le Yi, you...what do you mean?"
"I laugh at your stupidity! You actually believe such a promise. Let's not even talk about whether the Crown Prince will marry a concubine. Can your status and family background pass the test of the Empress?"
"But the princess said that she has always been favored by the Queen. As long as she says a few nice words, the Queen will naturally agree."
Le Yi glanced at her with undisguised disdain and said, "The Empress likes her because of the family background of the eldest princess and her husband, but that doesn't mean she will joke about the Crown Prince's marriage. In the Crown Prince's backyard, everyone has their own place. I tell you, even if we can't find a place in the end, it won't be your turn. The Empress will absolutely not allow someone like you to enter the Crown Prince's backyard."
"How could it be!" Miss Shi widened her eyes and looked at Le Yi in disbelief.
"How could it be? Of course not! When the time comes, you go to her house to ask, and Shen Qingman just retreats and refuses to see you, completely denying the matter. What can you do to her? Do you have any evidence to prove that she ordered you? This kind of brain still wants to learn how to frame others, and even wants to enter the prince's backyard. I'm afraid she won't know how she died."
After seeing Le Yi finish her rapid-fire scolding, Prince Yu smiled and said, "It's no use scolding her now."
"I know it's useless." Le Yi rolled her eyes, "but I can't let myself go without cursing. Just for this reason, to marry the prince, she pushed Song Ci into the lake, almost killing her. How can I not be angry for such a reason?"
Miss Shi woke up, knelt forward and grabbed the hem of Song Ci's skirt, "Miss Song, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed that I actually had the intention of harming you. When I came to the banquet, I regretted the agreement I made with the princess, but she threatened me, saying that if I didn't do it according to the plan, she would destroy me and make me unable to get married in the future. I had no choice but to do this desperate measure..."
Please forgive me just once, I really don’t dare to do it again.”
Miss Shi cried so hard that tears fell, and she really looked like she was extremely regretful.
But Song Ci felt that if she had not been lucky enough to discover the color of the skirt that Miss Shi was wearing and to find her by following the clues, she might not have really regretted it.
Miss Shi cried for a while, and when she saw Song Ci looking down at her with a pair of cold eyes without saying a word, she knew that she couldn't get away with it like this today.
The other party is not a pushover.
"Miss Song, I know I did something wrong. If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know."
"Well, don't tell me, I really have something that I need your help with. I just don't know if Miss Shi has the courage to do it."
Immediately, Song Ci expressed his thoughts, and Le Yi immediately clapped her hands and cheered, "An eye for an eye! How wonderful!"
Prince Yu also looked at Song Ci twice more, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"No!" Miss Shi shook her head frantically, "If I do this, the princess will definitely not let me go."
Le Yi snorted coldly, "It seems that we are still too gentle to you. You are still thinking about Shen Qingman, aren't you afraid that we will retaliate against you now? If you get into trouble here today, I guarantee that no one will complain for you, and the two young ladies who just left will keep silent about what happened today. Do you believe it or not?"
