She said pitifully, "Your Highness, please believe me, okay? No matter what I do, I would never do anything to betray you!"
Upon seeing this, Liang Bingyan thought to herself, "This is bad! That damned Ji Fengyan is really pretentious!"
"Then tell me why you would be having a secret rendezvous with someone here, a man and a woman all alone?" Liang Bingyan asked.
Jun Linyu was also watching, wanting to know the answer as well.
Ji Fengyan lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with resentment. Damn Liang Bingyan, just wait until she marries into the Third Prince's mansion, she'll make her pay!
"I...I can't say right now, I..."
"Hmph~ Cousin, look, we gave her a chance to speak, but she stammered again. There's definitely something fishy going on!" Liang Bingyan interrupted Ji Fengyan.
“Liang Bingyan, stop slandering me! You’re just jealous of me, jealous that I’m the Third Prince’s principal wife! You…” Ji Fengyan said, pointing at Liang Bingyan.
"Enough!"
Jun Linyu frowned, increasingly finding Ji Fengyan's words unbelievable. "Hmph, a woman who has lost her virginity before marriage, who is unchaste and immoral, is not worthy to be my wife!"
Jun Linyu's gaze toward Ji Fengyan is becoming increasingly disgusting. Although it was he who caused her to lose her virginity before marriage, it was her scheme!
After Jun Linyu finished speaking, he pulled Liang Bingyan away. Before leaving, Liang Bingyan gave him a provocative look.
She recognized that communication butterfly; it was the same communication butterfly that the Western Jin princess lost to Ji Jiuying at the palace banquet.
The reason she brought the Third Prince along was because she knew that Ji Jiuying wouldn't lie to her about how she caused Ji Fengyan to suffer a setback.
Jun Linyu's disgusted look as he left left Ji Fengyan stunned, completely unaware of the onlookers pointing and whispering about her!
All that remained in her mind were Jun Linyu's words, "She is unworthy to be his principal wife," and she murmured, "How could this be... how could this be..."
In the end, Ji Rufeng took her back to the Ji family, but what happened at the restaurant spread throughout the capital.
"Yan'er, what exactly happened to you?" Ji Rufeng heard the servants talking about the restaurant when he came out of seclusion.
"Big brother, waaaaah, the Third Prince said I'm not worthy to be his principal wife!" Ji Fengyan could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into Ji Rufeng's arms, sobbing.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rufeng frowned slightly. He had seen how Jun Linyu treated Yan'er and knew Jun Linyu's character quite well. How could he suddenly... Ji Rufeng pulled away Ji Fengyan, who was crying, and asked, "Yan'er, tell your brother, what exactly happened?"
Ji Fengyan hesitated for a moment before finally telling Ji Rufeng about the butterfly from beginning to end. Before Ji Rufeng could answer, a furious voice came from outside the door.
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"
Ji Fengyan was terrified that her conversation with her older brother had been overheard by Ji Chenyuan and Zhou Haiping, who had just arrived at the door. She quickly hid behind Ji Rufeng.
"Father, Mother, what brings you here?"
Ji Rufeng patted Ji Fengyan behind him and said.
"If we don't come soon, she might cause a huge uproar!" Ji Chenyuan's neck turned red.
"Yan'er, tell me, how could you be so confused!" Zhou Haiping said, pulling Ji Fengyan from behind Ji Rufeng.
"Father, Mother, I hate Ji Jiuying. I can't let her die even if I can't kill her..." Ji Rufeng quickly covered Ji Fengyan's mouth.
"Yan'er! Shut up!"
Ji Chenyuan shouted sternly.
Seeing this, Zhou Haiping was furious. "General, I told you that we can't keep that matter from the children anymore, but you wouldn't listen. Now the plan has been disrupted, what are we going to do?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rufeng knew that his parents wouldn't have let Ji Jiuying come back for no reason. Unfortunately, he was about to go into seclusion and couldn't keep an eye on his sister!
For a long time, Ji Chenyuan remained silent.
Before long, the group arrived at the study.
"Yan'er, hurry up and apologize to your father!" Zhou Haiping shouted.
Ji Fengyan lowered her head and said reluctantly, "Father, Yan'er knows she was wrong!"
"Hmph! Yan'er, not only did you interrupt your father's plans, but the incident at the restaurant today has caused quite a stir. It's only a matter of time before it reaches the Emperor's ears! The Empress is a minor matter, but if he finds out the man's identity, he could be accused of colluding with foreign forces and betraying the country—a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of his family!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fengyan collapsed to the ground, never expecting the matter to have such serious consequences.
"Father, what should we do?" Ji Fengyan was now completely panicked.
Ji Chenyuan knew that if he didn't say that, his silly daughter would forget his warning soon enough.
"Yan'er, I know you hate Ji Jiuying, but you must learn to be patient. There's a reason I called her back! Everything I did was for you two siblings!" Ji Chenyuan sighed. After all, she was his daughter.
Afterwards, Ji Chenyuan explained the whole story to the two siblings, and Ji Fengyan was filled with remorse after hearing it.
At this moment, even Ji Rufeng secretly cursed in his heart, "What an idiot."
Get what she has and then create an opportunity for her to die unexpectedly.
Her parents' plan was so perfect, but now she's ruined it!
"Father, what should we do? The envoys from Jialan Kingdom and Xijin Kingdom are leaving Cangyue in two days!" Ji Fengyan asked, sobbing.
"We can only take it one step at a time now!" After a long silence, Ji Chenyuan finally spoke, "As for the matter of the Third Prince's principal wife, I will do my best to protect her for you."
Ji Fengyan then nodded.
······
The cold front froze the night, making it as silent as a piece of dark, cold jade.
A petite figure moved through the night.
Finally, it stopped at Luoxiang Courtyard.
Huh? What's that sound coming from Ji Fengyan's room? Ji Jiuying approached curiously, wanting to see what Ji Fengyan was doing so late.
Holy crap!
When Ji Jiuying saw the scene inside, she was speechless, and her face instantly turned bright red.
"·····"
Coming to her senses, she silently muttered to herself, "This Ji Fengyan really knows how to play games, she actually did it herself..." *cough cough*
Ji Jiuying was helpless. It seemed that she had come at the wrong time, so she had no choice but to hide in her spatial dimension for the time being.
Half an hour later.
The room finally quieted down. Ji Jiuying came out of the space, looked down, and tsk tsk~ She's not even wearing clothes?
A silver needle flew from his hand toward Ji Fengyan, and a muffled groan was heard.
Ji Jiuying came to Ji Fengyan's bedside, and the scent in the air made her brows furrow.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, she quickly took the butterfly out and placed it in Ji Fengyan's room. Only after the butterfly disappeared into her brow did she leave, relieved.
Ji Jiuying cautiously approached Ji Chenyuan's courtyard and discovered a hidden guard lurking in the shadows.
Before she could speak, Yingyue appeared beside her.
"Yingyue, find a way to lure that shadow guard away," Ji Jiuying transmitted her voice.
Yingyue nodded and disappeared into the night.
Half a moment later, the guard was indeed lured away by Yingyue.
