The two of them hadn't seen each other during this time except for the nights when they helped Consort Xiao with her morning and evening waking-up rituals; today in the Imperial Garden was the first time they had spoken, they hadn't spent any time together yesterday!
Let alone spending the night together!
Doesn't Shanyu Heye know how nasty the rumors about the two of them are going around, even implying that they "spent the night together"—such baseless accusations!
Song Huiru was so angry that her body trembled.
Ji Fengyao, however, looked down at her with increasingly provocative eyes, leaning seductively into Shang Xiye's arms, and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Highness, Consort Jin is usually well-behaved. Since I taught her a lesson when she first entered the manor, she has never provoked me. She is an extremely honest person. She doesn't easily plead for others. Today is the first time she has spoken up, so please give her some face. I think Song Huiru looks quite pitiful."
"Fine, you're the mistress of the house, so I'll forgive you if you say so," Shang Xiye said with a doting expression, turning to walk towards the carriage with Ji Fengyao in his arms, coldly tossing out a sentence: "How long are you going to embarrass yourself here? Get up and go back to the manor!"
Song Huiru: "..."
She clenched her fists tightly, her teeth chattering.
Damn bandits, you just wait!
Once I've mastered my immortal arts, I'll make you wish you were dead!
"Sister Huiru, how are you? Where are you hurt?" Shanyu Heye came forward to help her with concern, while also trying to lift Song Huiru's clothes.
Song Huiru was furious. This was at the entrance of the palace, in front of everyone!
How could she lift up another woman's skirt!
But Chanyu Heye had just pleaded for her, and he had succeeded.
If she were to physically assault or verbally abuse Chanyu Heye now, the prince would likely turn around and kick her out.
Song Huiru could only suppress the surge of anger rising in her chest, grab Shanyu Heye's hand tightly, and throw it aside. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm fine. In broad daylight, please have some self-respect!"
After saying that, Song Huiru turned and walked towards her carriage.
Suddenly, a heartbroken whisper came from behind: "Hui Ru, I was wrong, please forgive me, don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Song Huiru's foot trembled with anger as she stepped onto the carriage, causing her to fall directly into the carriage and vomit a mouthful of blood.
Shanyu Heye!
I have a million curses for you, you son of a bitch!
Chun Tao: "..."
Chun Xing: "..."
I feel like my master is so frustrated and pitiful, but why do I feel like laughing for no reason?
Knowing that Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao were coming back, the maids of Hui Nuan Pavilion had already happily cleaned the room.
Ji Fengyao looked at her long-lost home, which was still as warm and clean as she remembered. Knowing that the maids in the courtyard were all dedicated and responsible, the first thing she did after sitting down was to reward them.
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
The mistress was so generous to them that all the maids and servants in the courtyard were overjoyed and became even more attentive and devoted to their mistress.
After Black Owl finished discussing matters with Shang Xiye and the four secret guards, it was already late at night.
Seeing that it was getting late, and considering he had just returned to the capital that day, he figured Ji Fengming and his son must have many things to arrange and handle, so he didn't want to disturb them. He then went with Shang Xiye to Hui Nuan Pavilion, intending to return to his residence in the side courtyard of Hui Nuan Pavilion to rest.
Black Owl's residence was in the outer courtyard of a side courtyard.
The maids' quarters were in the inner courtyard of a side courtyard.
He entered the courtyard and smelled the woman's perfume, but didn't think much of it.
