It was a long time after the prince left that Shen Shu stood up from her seat.

She glanced at Old Madam Shen and whispered, "Grandma, it's midsummer and the lotus flowers in the Princess's Mansion are in full bloom."

"My granddaughter has listened to opera and drank tea, and now she wants to go and admire the lotus flowers."

Old Madam Shen looked at her and did not give her a good look.

She said two words calmly: "Go."

Shen Shu nodded quickly, "Yes, Grandma, then you and your sisters can enjoy your tea here slowly."

The moment she left, Shen Shu's eyes fell on Shen Mi with a hint of sarcasm.

Shen Mi held the teacup, picked up a piece of cake and tasted it carefully.

The pastries are sweet with a hint of sourness and are very delicious.

Seeing her granddaughter so calm, Old Lady Shen spoke.

"Mi'er, the lotus flowers in Princess Chaoyang's mansion are blooming so luxuriantly, why don't you take your sister out to see them?"

Shen Mi narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled: "Grandma, what's so good about lotus flowers? The opera is interesting."

Old Madam Shen has not yet recovered from Shen Mi's words.

He glanced to the side and saw Zhang Huaian, who was dressed in red clothes, holding a wine glass and glancing at Shen Li not far away.

She sighed, "Grandma, you are so confused."

After the opera, many singing girls from the Western Regions came to the attic.

The clothes these Western singers wore were different from those of the Dayan people. Bells jingled on their waists and abdomens, and their arms and waists were covered with white skin.

Shen Mi lowered her eyes and looked at the Queen who was chatting and laughing with Princess Chaoyang.

She thought for a moment, thinking that Yun Lan should have succeeded.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but I could still hear the laughter of the ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families.

Shen Mi lowered her eyes, sighed, and heard hurried footsteps coming from downstairs.

Judging from the footsteps, it should be that of a servant.

Sure enough, when Shen Mi looked up, she saw a servant in black hurriedly walking up to Princess Chaoyang.

The body was trembling slightly.

"Princess, Queen, something happened."

Princess Chaoyang jumped up from her chair and immediately asked, "What happened?"

The servant said, "The Third Miss of the Shen family somehow entered the Fourth Master's room."

"Now the Fourth Master is furious, so he asked everyone from the Shen family to go there."

"What?" Old Madam Shen's face changed and she stood up from her chair.

"Why would this third girl go to Prince Rui's room for no reason? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Shen Mi helped Shen Li stand up, "Grandma, let's go over and take a look. Don't anger the Fourth Master."

Old Madam Shen leaned on her cane and nodded quickly. She cursed in a low voice, "How shameless! Why did you go to that person's room for no reason?"

Princess Chaoyang also walked out from her chair, "Mother, let's go and take a look. I invited my brother to the banquet this time. Now..."

The Queen raised her lips slightly and said deliberately, "The Third Miss of the Shen family deliberately left under the pretext of admiring the lotus. Could it be that she was having a secret meeting with Prince Rui?"

She didn't want Shen Shu to cling to the prince, and if Shen Shu could marry Prince Rui, she would be more than happy.

Shen Mi supported Old Madam Shen and took Shen Li, and under the guidance of the servant, they rushed to the place where Murong Che was resting.

At this moment, Zhang Huaian, who was sitting on a chair in a red dress, saw Shen Li leave, and it was still related to Shen Shu.

Helped Madam Zhang up.

"Grandma, let's go and see what's going on."

"After all, I am still engaged to the Third Miss of the Shen family. I am afraid that people in Yanjing City will talk about it again."

Madam Zhang sighed and slowly got up from her chair.

"Let's go and have a look too."

Not long after, Shen Mi and Shen Li, supporting Old Madam Shen and bringing a few maids, came to the northernmost private room in Princess Chaoyang's North Garden.

The closer I got, the fainter I could hear the woman sobbing.

When they walked to the door, they saw a woman wearing the clothes of a Western dancer, showing her slender waist and back, with disheveled hair and dirty face, sitting on the ground and sobbing quietly.

When everyone looked over, they could vaguely see the person's facial features, it was Shen Shu.

Shen Mi raised her eyes and looked towards the private room. She could clearly see signs of wear and tear on the door railing.

There were several bloody marks on Shen Shu's hands due to friction.

A man's footprints can be clearly seen on the waist and abdomen.

Shen Mi frowned. Could it be that Murong Che kicked the person out of the room with one kick?

When Old Madam Shen saw Shen Shu dressed as a singer, her eyes widened.

"Shen Shu, why are you dressed like this?"

Shen Shu pursed her lips tightly, looked at Old Madam Shen tremblingly, crawled in front of Old Madam Shen, and choked up: "Grandma, Grandma, save me!"

Old Madam Shen was so angry that her face turned red, and she immediately gave orders to the nanny beside her.

"Hurry up and get her some clothes to wear. It's such a disgrace."

As she spoke, a nanny came over, took off her coat, put it on Shen Shu, and helped Shen Shu up from the ground.

Madam Shen asked, "What's going on? Why are you in Prince Rui's room? And dressed like...?"

Shen Shu bit her lip and stammered, "Grandma, I went the wrong way. I don't know why I'm here."

Seeing her crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Old Madam Shen felt extremely annoyed.

But this was Princess Chaoyang's residence, so she didn't dare to ask too much.

She said angrily: "Go back and I will settle the score with you."

She walked slowly towards the room with a cane.

In the room, Murong Che sat upright on a mahogany chair carved with pear blossoms. He stretched out his hand and patted his clothes with a look of disgust.

When he saw Old Madam Shen and Shen Mi coming, his cold gaze fell on Shen Mi for a moment and then moved away.

Madam Shen said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, the third girl is ignorant and has disturbed Your Highness Prince Rui."

Murong Che raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled playfully: "Madam Shen, please stay alive and find a nanny to check whether the Third Miss of the Shen family is innocent."

Old Madam Shen leaned on her crutches, her face stiff, and looked at Murong Che in disbelief.

"What does your Highness Prince Rui mean? Shu'er came in, could it be that your Highness and her..."

Murong Che smiled arrogantly, "I dare not touch such a woman."

"Miss Shen San entered my room, knelt on the ground, and crawled under my crotch."

"If I hadn't reacted in time, I'm afraid my pants would have been pulled off by her."

Although Murong Che's voice was not loud, every word he said was heard by everyone outside the door.

Old Madam Shen's eyes widened even more. Where did she learn this from?

Old Madam Shen was so angry that her hands were shaking. With the support of the nanny, she glared fiercely at Shen Shu who was crying bitterly.

"I'm asking you, is what King Rui said true?"

Shen Shu shook her head repeatedly and shrank back unconsciously.

"Grandma, what King Rui said is not true. My granddaughter...my granddaughter didn't do that."

Murong Che, who was sitting on the chair, smiled evilly.

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Miss Shen San may have forgotten that you shouted something when you were crawling under my crotch."

"Brother Prince."

As soon as Murong Che finished speaking, the maids in the room, as well as Shen Li and Old Madam Shen, all widened their eyes.

Isn't this prince Shen Mi's fiancé? How could he be with Shen Shu...

Shen Mi stood aside with a calm expression.

Then that playful and magnetic voice was heard again, reaching everyone's ears.

"I guess this third lady entered my room and didn't see my appearance clearly, so she mistook me for the prince."

The sound of people around whispering with their heads down could be heard again.

Old Madam Shen leaned on her cane tightly and walked in front of Shen Shu, her eyes cold and gloomy: "Tell me, what's going on? Aren't you going to appreciate the lotus flowers? Why are you here?"

Shen Shu shrank back in fear at Madam Shen's expression.

The letter in which she had a secret meeting with the prince clearly referred to this room, so how could she have made a mistake?

She shook her head repeatedly: "Grandma... I don't know either, granddaughter... granddaughter"

'Snapped! '

Before he could finish his words, a loud slap came down on his face.

"You want to piss me off to death, don't you? Do you want to bring shame to the Shen family?"

"You're dressed like this, and you're going into a men's room... and..."

Feeling a stinging pain on her cheek, Shen Shu covered her face with her hands and sobbed with her head down. Then she heard the angry voice of Old Madam Shen.

"Someone, drag the third young lady back to the mansion first."
