"Okay, this matter ends here!" The eldest princess's face darkened slightly.
Changle pouted.
She may not pursue the matter today, but there will always be a time when Bai Fengyao will fall into her hands in the future!
Qu Li found it funny to see her eyes whirling around and full of calculations.
Catching sight of Qu Li's smile that was like the first sign of rain and snow, Changle was in a trance for a moment.
My seventh cousin’s wife looks so beautiful when she smiles!
Her beauty is different from Bai Ruowei's gentle beauty, but it is a kind of beauty that is very pleasing to the eye.
She just felt her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of her chest at any time.
The eldest princess shook her head helplessly.
Changle has been spoiled by her!
Everyone tacitly forgot about Bai Fengyao's mischief and continued talking and laughing.
After the banquet, Changle packed up her things and planned to stay at Prince Chen's Mansion for two days.
Xiao Xian had a headache, but he had just accepted the favor of the Grand Princess, who was also his cousin, so he could only agree with reluctance.
The eldest princess held Changle's hand and gave her instructions.
"Mom, I'm grown up now!" Changle pouted.
"Grand Princess, I will take good care of Princess Changle!" Qu Li stated.
"Then thank you very much!"
Qu Li smiled.
Everyone arrived outside the Grand Princess's Mansion one after another. At this time, a young man in a white gown with red lips and white teeth ran out from the alley.
He was so nervous that his palms were sweaty.
"Li'er!"
Such an affectionate call reminded everyone of the previous rumors.
"I've heard that Princess Chen was having an affair with a waiter from Qingliu Pavilion. Could it be this person?"
"I've heard about that, too. It's said that the young man resembles Prince Chen very much. Princess Chen had been begging for him but to no avail, so she settled for the next best thing and got involved with this young man."
The ladies usually stay at home and rarely go out, but at this moment they all stare with their eyes wide open, their ears pricked up, and their faces are full of gossip.
Some noble ladies even secretly looked at Xiao Xian's expression.
Xiao Xian's face was indeed as gloomy as ice, and low pressure continued to be released from his body.
The young waiter looked frail to begin with, and after being glared at by him, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Qu Li frowned, but there was no panic on his face: "Who are you?"
"Li'er, how come you don't even remember me? Did you forget all the love we had just because you married Prince Chen?"
Qu Li nodded in understanding.
"Oh, so you're the prostitute I'm having an affair with!"
"Li'er, that's not what you said before! You even promised to redeem me!"
Everyone was eager to become beautiful, so they didn't dare to talk loudly, but they looked at Qu Li with contempt.
Xiao Rui clenched his fist, pressed it to his lips, and coughed, "Seventh brother, everyone says this young man looks a lot like you, but from what I see, he looks like he has kidney deficiency, not even one tenth of your quality!"
Xiao Xian said nothing, but glanced at him with gloomy eyes.
Xiao Qi said, "With Seventh Brother as a shining example, how could the Seventh Princess be interested in such a young man? Besides, I don't see how this young man looks like Seventh Brother!"
The young man's eyes were evasive, and because of panic, he clutched the corner of his sleeve, looking effeminate, which made Qu Li feel sick.
"I don't know you! And don't talk nonsense here and throw dirty water on me!"
Qu Li is not afraid of rumors, but she has never been a pushover.
This basin of dirty water is now being poured on her so openly, and she has to be willing to accept it!
Her bright eyes were filled with coldness and fierceness, and her aura was so strong that it actually shocked quite a few people.
The young waiter couldn't help but shudder and looked at Xiao Xian with a squint.
He was carried by Guangping and thrown in front of Xiao Xian, looking confused.
He trembled in fear every day, thinking that as long as he could wait until someone came to find him, he would be able to end this nightmare.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xian actually asked him to do as that person said and make the matter bigger.
God knows how anxious he is at this moment.
"Li'er, how could you say such cruel words?"
The young waiter's eyes instantly turned red. If it was a girl, her tearful look would surely attract sympathy. However, the one pretending to be a sissy young waiter now, and Qu Li's eyes showed even more disgust.
Changle was even more disgusted and rushed forward to beat up the young waiter.
Qu Li stopped her, looked down at the young waiter coldly, like a queen looking down on the world.
"You keep saying that you and I have a secret affair, and there have indeed been rumors circulating lately that you and I have been having an affair for a long time."
The waiter looked up with a guilty conscience and whimpered, "It's not gossip, it's the truth!"
He said it with no confidence at all.
Qu Li was amused by him, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"Okay, that's the truth."
After hearing Qu Li's words, many noble ladies sighed and covered their mouths.
Those who usually have a very good relationship with Bai Fengyao also showed an expression of watching the show.
"She's stopped pretending? Admitted it?"
"She was just a nympho chasing after Prince Chen before! Even though she amazed everyone today, it can't cover up the shameful things she did in the past!"
Xiao Qi glanced at Xiao Xian.
He has been finding it increasingly difficult to figure out Seventh Brother's thoughts lately.
They could have shouted at the young waiter, but because of Prince Chen's mansion, those present didn't dare to say anything.
But Seventh Brother just watched coldly. Could it be that he wanted to take revenge on Qu Li because Qu Li had embarrassed Bai Fengyao just now?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Qi looked at Qu Li with a little more sympathy in his eyes.
He was about to say something when he felt a chill on the back of his neck. Turning his head, he met Xiao Xian's eyes, which were as cold as the coldest days of winter.
"Since you are so close to me, can you tell me some of my characteristics, or whether I gave you any token of love?"
The young waiter frowned and seemed hesitant, but in fact he was secretly looking at Xiao Xian.
The person who came to see him yesterday did give him something, and also told him the shape and location of the birthmark on Qu Li's body in detail. He wanted to nail Qu Li to the pillar of shame in front of so many people today.
"Of course there is, but this is a matter between you and me! It's not good for you to say it in front of so many people!" The waiter muttered in a low voice.
"There's nothing wrong with it! Tell me!"
The smile on Qu Li's face completely disappeared, and the coldness between his eyebrows was like a chilly winter day, which made the young waiter shudder again.
"This bellyband is yours!"
Everyone's eyes fell on the bright red thing in the waiter's hand, and their expressions changed.
"She actually dared to cheat on Prince Chen!"
"Oh! Comparing like this, I actually think she's even worse than Bai Fengyao!"
"The one who's most upset right now must be Prince Chen! His wife cheated on him, and his concubines are all evil-minded!"
"If I were Bai Fengyao, I wouldn't be willing to let such a despicable person snatch my position as the principal wife away from me!"
…
For a time, rumors were spreading one after another.
