Jiang Yuwei coldly stared at the unreasonable Sun Shi in front of her, and couldn't help but curse in her heart. It was clearly your family who pretended to be someone else and refused to leave the Prince's mansion. Now you're blaming us. I wonder what your expression will be when the truth comes out?
Seeing that Jiang Yuwei remained silent, Xu Qianqian assumed she was afraid, so she stepped forward, pointed at Jiang Yuwei, and scolded her:
"Heh, do you really think we don't know about your shady dealings with the young master? Otherwise, how could the young master tolerate your whole family moving in? This young master is of marriageable age, but he always makes excuses not to get married. Who can't see the shady business between you two!"
Jiang Yuwei was so angry at Xu Qianqian's words that she laughed. Just as she was about to retort, she heard a cold voice behind her.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Xu Qianqian never expected that the young master would be in Jiang Yuwei's courtyard, so she hurriedly explained:
"No, it's nothing, Your Highness, please calm down. I was just talking nonsense. I..."
Ning Zixuan walked up to Jiang Yuwei with a cold face and stood down.
"If I ever hear such rumors circulating in your household again, I'll rip out your tongue first!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian trembled in fright. Her face turned deathly pale, and she stammered, "..."
"No, no, it's just a rumor. I heard it from someone else. I just wanted to tell Madam Jiang so that she and you, the young master, wouldn't be criticized."
Ning Zixuan wanted to go inside and eat another large steamed bun filled with eggplant and tofu, but he was too lazy to argue with the group of women. He simply said coldly,
"Get out! If I see you come into this courtyard again, I will have your allowances stopped!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun and Xu Qianqian exchanged a glance, neither daring to refute, and hurriedly left with their maids.
"Madam, did you see that? I told you they were definitely having an affair. Now they're eating in the same courtyard without any regard for others, and Ning Huaizhi even has to go out to make room for them!"
As soon as Xu Qianqian left Jinglan Pavilion, she took Sun's arm and whispered something.
Sun frowned, shook off Xu Qianqian's arm, nodded, and whispered:
"To be honest, Ning Huaizhi is really living a miserable life. He is a great general who guards the border, but now he has been manipulated like this by a little woman like Jiang Yuwei. If this gets out, I think Ning Huaizhi should change his name to General Green Hat."
Xu Qianqian couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, but after a short while, she put on a bitter face and said:
"This matter must not be spread. If it does, I think Ning Zixuan will really be able to rip our tongues out."
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun's expression stiffened, and she then spoke:
"He said he was going to pull out your tongue, not mine!"
Seeing that Madam Sun was so eager to distance herself from her, Xu Qianqian said coldly:
“Ning Zixuan isn’t stupid. If this gets out, everyone here today will be implicated, and no one will be able to escape!”
Upon hearing this, Madam Sun coughed a few times and then spoke.
"I've always been tight-lipped, I definitely won't go around saying anything!"
Xu Qianqian quickly echoed:
"Of course I wouldn't speak carelessly!"
Having said that, the two of them turned around at the same time and glared fiercely at the maids following behind them.
Seeing this, the maidservant immediately understood and bowed her head to assure him:
"We will never tell anyone!"
Suddenly, Madam Sun remembered that Ning Chunlin had brought back a courtesan from Wangchun Tower a few days ago, who was currently being kept in Ning Chunlin's courtyard. Just now, Jiang Yuwei had mentioned this matter, and her heart skipped a beat.
Sun had thought that after Xu Qianqian's affair, she should have given up on Ning Chunlin long ago, but who knew that Ning Chunlin would be such a restless person.
Now that Sun has been in the Prince's mansion for a long time and seen more of the world, she feels increasingly insecure. As a village woman without a dowry or the protection of her maternal family, she will eventually be completely tired of Ning Chunlin.
Madam Sun believed that the principle of a mother's status rising with her son was always true. Right now, she only had one daughter, Ning Xin, which was not enough. Therefore, Madam Sun always hoped that she could have another son with Ning Chunlin. In the future, she would have a son to protect her, and she would not end up being driven out of the palace in her old age.
If both the legitimate son and daughter are her own children, then the people in the royal palace would surely look at her with more respect.
Therefore, Madam Sun always wanted to get intimate with Ning Chunlin and tried every means to please him. But no flower in the garden can compare to the fragrance of wild flowers. Since Ning Chunlin came to the Prince Jing's mansion, he wished he could spend all his time in Wangchun Tower.
Now that she has even brought back a courtesan, Madam Sun must be worried. However, if she goes there rashly, it will displease Ning Chunlin. It would be better to invite Xu Qianqian to go and take a look together today.
If a fight really breaks out, I can act as a mediator, which will also show Ning Chunlin my magnanimity as his legal wife and make him remember my good qualities.
Thinking this, Madam Sun turned to Xu Qianqian and said:
"I heard that the young master brought back a vixen from Wangchun Tower, and she's currently being kept in his courtyard. Since we have some free time today, why don't we go and meet that slut together!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qianqian clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Alright, let's go. I want to see what tricks she used to seduce Brother Chunlin!"
After agreeing on their plan, the two hurriedly headed towards Ning Chunlin's courtyard. Just as they reached the gate, they heard laughter and shouting coming from inside.
"Brother Chunlin, come and chase after me!"
"Don't run, Lianyao, I'm coming to catch you, my little darling!"
Upon hearing this, the two people outside the courtyard blushed and exchanged a glance before entering the courtyard one after the other.
"Madam, what brings you here?"
The maidservant who was serving nearby saw Madam Sun and Xu Qianqian enter in a menacing manner and hurriedly called out in alarm.
Just then, a woman in a red strapless dress sat diagonally on a stone table in the center of the courtyard, smiling at the two of them.
Seeing Ning Chunlin's seductive look, Xu Qianqian was furious. She walked straight to Ning Chunlin's side and was about to reach out to pull off the gauze covering Ning Chunlin's eyes when Ning Chunlin grabbed her and hugged her tightly.
"Hey, Lianyao, I've got you! You're not allowed to run away this time!"
As Ning Chunlin spoke, he hugged Xu Qianqian and kissed her.
Seeing this, Lianyao giggled.
"Giggle~ Brother Chunlin, you've got the wrong person! I'm right here!"
Upon hearing Lian Yao's voice, Ning Chunlin quickly released Xu Qianqian, ripped off the veil from his face, and seeing that it wasn't Lian Yao standing in front of him, his face darkened.
"What are you doing in my yard? What are you doing here?"
