Chen Lerong's face turned ugly and she tightly grasped the wine glass in her hand. It was really He Shulan who gave the white lotus to He's father.

Chen Lerong, who learned the truth, laughed out of anger. She defended herself left and right, but failed to stop He Shulan.

With a wave of his hand, he splashed the wine in the glass onto He's father's face: "Drink if you like! I'll let you drink as much as you want."

He threw away the cup in his hand, left the living room angrily and went to Bai Lian's room.

She had just given birth, and her complexion recovered quickly. She couldn't help but say sarcastically, "It's different once you enter the He Mansion. You eat well, dress well, and even recover so quickly after giving birth."

Bai Lian was a smart person, so she naturally understood the sarcasm in Chen Lerong's words: "Of course, the He family is not an ordinary family, so of course they can enjoy these splendors and wealth."

Chen Lerong no longer concealed the truth and said it bluntly: "He Shulan sent you to He's father because she wanted to use you to compete with me for favor and take control of the He Mansion."

Bai Lian didn't expect Chen Lerong to know the truth so quickly. She would not admit it before there was solid evidence: "Madam, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Don't pretend here, the master has already told me these things."

Bai Lian's heart tightened, and she thought it was impossible. She often whispered in He's father's ear, not letting her tell the truth to the lady: "The master would never say such a thing, so don't worry too much."

Seeing that Bai Lian refused to admit it, Chen Lerong's face twisted with anger: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I have my own way." After saying that, he ignored Bai Lian and turned to leave the room.

Bai Lian, lying on the bed, curled her lips in disdain. Not only did she have the protection of her father, she also had her son by her side, so she was not afraid of Chen Lerong at all.

Chen Lerong came to the Prince's Mansion to meet He Shulan.

The servant guarding the gate hesitated. The Princess only refused to let He Shuzhen enter the Prince's Mansion, but did not say that she refused to let Chen Lerong enter the Mansion.

After hesitating for a long time, he went in and reported: "Madam, please wait at the door for a while. I will go in and report to the Princess."

Before Chen Lerong met He Shulan, she would not lose her temper so as not to alert the enemy.

He Shulan didn't want to see her. She suppressed the anger in her heart and stood quietly at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

He Shulan, who was sorting out the store account book, put down the pen in her hand and looked at the servant in surprise: "What does she want to see me about?"

"She didn't say anything, she just wanted to see you. From what I saw, she didn't seem to be looking for trouble."

He Shulan snorted coldly. Chen Lerong was very good at pretending and disguising her emotions. Even he couldn't see through her sometimes.

Not to mention these servants, she planned to meet Chen Lerong: "Take her to the living room."

Chen Lerong, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the eyes of passers-by on the road were all on her.

They gathered together from time to time to discuss in a low voice about Liu Chen's dismissal from office, which made Chen Lerong extremely embarrassed.

Her eyes were filled with impatience: "I've waited for so long, why hasn't he come out yet? This damn He Shulan, is she deliberately making things difficult for her?"

Just when she was about to break in, a servant came out in a hurry and said with a smile on his face: "Madam He, I will take you to see the Princess of the County."

It was Chen Lerong’s first time to visit the Prince’s Mansion and she was shocked by its luxury. The pavilions, towers, and precious flowers and plants in the garden amazed her.

She kept blaming He Shuzhen in her heart. If she had not given up the marriage she had snatched, the wealth and glory of the Prince's Mansion would have belonged to He Shuzhen.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, but I had to accept my fate because reality could not be changed.

Arriving at the living room, He Shulan sat in the main seat. Although she was dressed simply, the fabric of her clothes was very luxurious. "Mother, what do you want to see me at the Prince's Mansion?"

"I came here to ask you why you sent Bai Lian to your father."

He Shulan seldom returned to the He Mansion. Her correspondence with Bai Lian was also sent by her confidant. I don't know how Chen Lerong knew about this.

But she wasn't that stupid, and Chen Lerong got the truth out of her in a few words: "Mother, you have to have evidence when you speak, you can't just say things without proof."

"You..." Chen Lerong's face turned blue with anger. At this time, He Shulan was still so calm: "Your father has already told me."

He Shulan felt it was impossible. He's father told Chen Lerong about the incident, so he would never sit here so calmly: "How could father say such a thing to you? She must be drunk."

This made Chen Lerong silent. He's father was indeed drunk by her, and now thinking about it, the words she got out of his mouth were very likely nonsense.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond, and the suspicion in her heart still remained: "The servants of the He Mansion saw you walking out of Bai Lian's yard, how do you explain it?"

He Shulan's heart skipped a beat. She was walking on a small path, but she was still seen. "I came to the He Mansion, so of course I had to go and see my father's concubine. It's nothing strange that I came out of Bai Lian's yard."

This time, Chen Lerong was really speechless, because He Shulan's answer was so perfect that she had to look at He Shulan with new eyes.

She has become more and more powerful since she married into the Prince's Mansion. He Shulan will not admit it unless there is actual evidence.

Now that He Shulan has a noble status, she dare not throw a tantrum like she did before, and can only suppress her anger and leave.

He Shulan then wrote a letter and asked his servant to deliver it to He's house.

……

Bai Lian, who received the letter, showed a sarcastic smile, laughing at Chen Lerong's ignorance.

He Shulan was no longer the unmarried young lady living in the He residence. Without any evidence, he dared to go find He Shulan.

She burned the letter in her hand and asked her personal maid to find He's father.

After a while, the maid ran back and said, "Auntie, the master is drunk."

"Why is the master drinking in the middle of the day?" Bai Lian asked puzzledly.

"It was the Madam who insisted on taking the Master out for a drink and ended up getting him drunk."

Now, Bai Lian knew why Chen Lerong came to her angrily to question her.

It was Chen Lerong who got He's father drunk and took advantage of his drunkenness to extract information from him.

She was also tricked by him. When He's father wakes up, she will put on a good show in front of him. She can't waste the opportunity to sow discord.

……

Chen Lerong returned to the He Mansion and asked the servant standing beside him: "Is the master sober?"

"Not yet. The master drank two bottles of liquor and didn't wake up so quickly."

Chen Lerong turned around and walked out. While He's father was drunk, she wanted to go to Liu's house and find He Shuzhen to find out whether He Shulan had walked out of Bai Lian's yard.

The carriage stopped at the gate of He's house. The black door was closed tightly, and there was no longer the hustle and bustle of the past.
