The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

As night falls, a bright moon slowly rises, casting its clear silver light on the ground.

The lights in the prime minister's residence were bright and the music of the piano was melodious.

The family banquet was held in the back garden of the prime minister's mansion, where there were lush flowers and trees, gurgling water, and a scene reminiscent of a Jiangnan garden.

There are several carved pear wood desks placed in order in the garden, and on the tables are exquisite porcelain and silver chopsticks.

Although it was just a family dinner, it was elegant at all.

Liao Zhendong and Cheng Yunxiang walked towards the seat hand in hand.

Liao Zhendong was wearing a blue suit with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the lapels, looking elegant and calm.

Cheng Yunxiang was also wearing a brocade dress of the same color, with graceful steps and a gentle smile.

After the two of them sat down, the others took their seats one by one and prepared to start the meal.

Du Chunhua sat in a corner of the banquet, looking at the two people in the upper positions from time to time, with a hint of jealousy and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

Liao Zhendong was picking up some food for Cheng Yunxiang and blowing the soup cool before handing it over.

Du Chunhua was very envious.

Who wouldn’t want a husband who is in a high position and is considerate and caring?

But soon, very soon she will get what she wants!

After three rounds of drinks, Du Chunhua calmly winked at the maid behind Liao Zhendong, then quietly left the table.

Liao Zhendong raised his glass to drink, but the wine jug in the maid's hand tilted slightly, and the wine spilled onto his clothes.

"Oh!" The maid knelt down in panic and wiped it with a handkerchief, "Please forgive me, sir, I accidentally slipped my hand."

"Don't blame yourself. Get up." Liao Zhendong was a generous man. He didn't blame the maid. He turned to Cheng Yunxiang and said, "Madam, I'll go change my clothes first. You stay here to entertain the guests."

"I have brought some spare clothes, which are placed in the side hall of the garden. I will hold the lamp for you." The plan was already half successful, and the maid was secretly happy.

Liao Wei and Liao Qinglan stood up and walked to their father.

"If father wants to change clothes, we will go with you." Liao Wei said.

"My relatives and friends are still here. What will it be like if you all left? Go back and sit down."

"Father, you don't know this." Liao Qinglan said quietly, "Generally speaking, if a maid spills wine at a banquet, she must have been bribed to deliberately lead you somewhere."

"This..." Liao Zhendong hesitated.

The Liao family is a century-old family. Most of the servants in the mansion are family-born children who have followed them for many years. He really doesn't want to believe that the people around him want to harm him.

Cheng Yunxiang heard what they said and said, "It will only take a quarter of an hour to change clothes. If the children are worried, let them go with you. I will ask Nanny Fang to come with them."

Liao Zhendong obeyed his wife's words, and several people left the garden together.

The maid leading the way was so frightened by the sight of so many people following her that her legs went limp. She stammered, "Prime Minister... I... I seem to have forgotten to bring spare clothes... Let's go back to the main courtyard to change..."

"Then brother, please follow father back to the main courtyard. I want to rest in the side hall." Liao Qinglan said to Liao Wei, but her big almond eyes were fixed on the maid.

The maid started to speak incoherently: "Young Miss, please don't go! What I mean is, the side hall is so dark, what if you go alone and get bumped into something?"

This maid's attitude is so abnormal. If Liao Zhendong still can't see that she has something to hide, then he has been working in the officialdom in vain.

"Go to the side hall!" He wanted to see who was trying to play tricks in his house.

In the side hall, a solitary lamp flickered with a faint light.

Liao Zhendong walked over quickly, pushed open the door, and saw a scene that made his blood boil.

The sister-in-law, who was usually gentle and virtuous, was hugging a servant tightly. Both of them were disheveled and had ambiguous expressions.

Even though Liao Zhendong was mentally prepared, he still found it difficult to accept it at first.

"What are you doing!" Liao Zhendong's voice echoed in the silent side hall like thunder, full of anger and disbelief.

His face was livid, his eyes flashed with anger, and his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

Du Chunhua was frightened and panicked by the sudden roar. With the help of the light outside the door, she finally saw clearly that the person who had just spent the night with her was not Liao Zhendong!

That was clearly Nanny Zhao’s son Zhang Qing!

Du Chunhua hurriedly pulled her clothes together, covered her face and cried, feeling extremely ashamed.

"Brother, it's not like that... I... I thought..." Du Chunhua's voice trembled. She wanted to explain, but everything she said at this moment seemed pale and powerless.

Liao Zhendong took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.

If this incident got out, it would not only ruin Du Chunhua's reputation, but also be a disgrace to the entire Liao family.

"Madam Fang, please handle it." Liao Zhendong didn't want to watch any more, so he stood up and walked out the door, waiting for the result.

Matters concerning the inner residence were under the jurisdiction of Cheng Yunxiang, luckily Nanny Fang also came along.

In just a few days, two such shameful incidents had occurred in the mansion. Nanny Fang walked forward, shaking her head.

"Zhang Qing? Why is it you! You are not..." Nanny Fang was shocked when she saw who the adulterer was.

She looked at Liao Qinglan hesitantly.

That day she had been planning to call human traffickers to sell Zhang Qing, but Liao Qinglan came back not long after and asked her for Zhang Qing, saying that she would deal with it herself.

How could Zhang Qing appear in this place?

Seeing him twisting his lower body constantly and looking extremely painful, he must have been drugged by an aphrodisiac.

Liao Qinglan nodded openly and admitted that she was the one who did it.

Nanny Fang was Cheng Yunxiang's person, so of course she was on Liao Qinglan's side. She immediately questioned, "Zhang Qing, you've harmed our maids, and you even dared to have evil intentions towards Madam Du! If I don't kick your whole family out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm afraid you'll make the whole mansion a mess!"

Zhang Qing himself had no idea what was going on.

He only remembered being forced to drink some alcohol, then feeling hot all the time, and then being thrown into this room.

He didn't even see who was inside, he just felt that there was a woman there, and instinctively wanted to pounce on her and vent his anger.

Who knew it was Mrs. Du.

But he didn't even know who gave him the medicine to scare him, so he had no way to refute it.

He could only shout “I’m wronged, I’m really wronged” in vain, but no one paid any attention to him.

Nanny Fang asked someone to drag Zhang Qing away, and the room suddenly became quiet.

All that could be heard was Du Chunhua's sobbing.

She remained kneeling on the ground, not daring to look up.

Nanny Fang's voice was filled with deep disappointment and grief: "Madam Du, it's not that no one knows about your usual ridiculous behavior, but out of pity for you being a widow, it's fine if you don't make it public. Today, at the family dinner, something so shameful happened. Where can you put the face of our prime minister and his wife?"

"I...I didn't expect it to be like this..." Du Chunhua was almost going crazy.

It was obviously Liao Zhendong who was with her just now!

If it was Liao Zhendong, not only would she not be so embarrassed, she could also enter the house and become the prime minister's wife.

She believed that with her charm, it was only a matter of time before Liao Zhendong fell completely in love with her.

She couldn't figure out what went wrong and why it turned out like this...
