After exchanging marriage with my elder sister, I won with a bad hand.

In order to express that what she said was indeed the truth, Ruhua gritted her teeth and was willing to die to prove her integrity.

Under the constant pressure from the Duke's wife, she suddenly became agitated and said with a look of grief and indignation, "Madam, if you don't believe me, I will die to prove my innocence."

After saying that, in everyone's astonished eyes, he rushed towards the pillar in the hall.

There was a loud bang and blood splattered everywhere, scaring the usually noble ladies so much that they turned pale and screamed.

The Queen was also very frightened, and the Duke's wife and Liu Qingqing looked at Ruhua, who was lying beside a pillar, with a puzzled look on their faces, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.

They really couldn't understand why Ruhua did this?

The Duke's wife began to doubt her own daughter.

After seeing the suspicion in her mother's eyes, Liu Qingqing felt that she could not clear herself of the guilt even if she jumped into the Yellow River. She cursed Ruhua in her heart, asking her if she had taken the wrong medicine and would rather die than slander her.

"Madam, do you have anything to say?" The Queen looked at the Madam, who had an ugly expression on her face. Although she was in charge of all the affairs in the harem, Liu Qingqing was not a concubine after all, and she had to give face to the Duke's Mansion, so she would not easily order a punishment.

How could the Duke's wife not know that the Queen was giving face to her family and trying to cover up the shame?

Now, there seemed to be only two options. One was for his daughter to marry Lin Ziyuan, but he already had a wife, so if his daughter married him, she would only be a concubine.

What's more, if this matter gets out in the future, their Duke's Mansion will be embarrassed.

Then, there is only one other way to go. Become a monk!

Thinking of this, the Duke's wife slowly spoke: "My daughter has done such a thing, which not only brings shame to the Duke's Mansion, but also brings shame to the Wei Imperial Palace. Now the only way to atone for my sin is to become a nun and worship Buddha every day."

Liu Qingqing looked at the Duke's wife in disbelief: "Mother, how could you let me become a nun?"

"Do you still want to marry Lin Ziyuan?"

The Duke's wife's words successfully shut Liu Qingqing up. She carefully considered in her heart that if she married Lin Ziyuan, it would be better to become a nun.

Becoming a nun does not necessarily mean staying in a nunnery for the rest of her life. Once she has avoided the limelight this time, she can still return home quietly.

When the time comes, she will never let go of that bitch Shen Yihuan.

After she figured it out, she no longer felt that becoming a nun was so difficult to accept, so she kept silent about it.

However, when Lin Ziyuan heard what the Duke's wife said, his heart was moved and he glanced at her in an obscene way.

I thought to myself, if I could marry the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, it would be a good thing. Then, let's see how arrogant that tigress can be.

What's more, thinking of the taste he just tasted, he secretly glanced at Liu Qingqing again, and at this moment he still had a little aftertaste.

Liu Qingqing saw Lin Ziyuan's furtive look, and she felt sick at once. She was also very glad for the decision she had just made.

It would be better to die than to marry that kind of person or become his concubine.

Seeing that they were no longer talking, the Queen said, "In that case, let's do as the Duke's wife says."

This matter is finally over.

After that, everyone sat down as if nothing had happened, and at least they finished attending the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner. After that, they left one after another. After Shen Yihuan said goodbye to the queen, he walked towards the Chaoyang Palace.

Now, she has moved from Chengqian Palace to Chaoyang Palace, and Zhao Xun, this guy, stays at her place most of the time and rarely goes back to Chengqian Palace.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have such a good relationship that people are very envious, so even though it was a bit inappropriate, the Emperor and the Empress didn't say anything.

On the way back, everything was quiet. Cuicui was talking to Shen Yihuan, and they were still talking about the scandal of Liu Qingqing that had just happened.

"Crown Princess, do you think Liu Qingqing really likes that guy called, what, Lin, Lin Ziyuan?"

"What do you say?"

"I don't believe it, but the maid next to her is so sure and willing to die to show her determination, which makes me feel a little bit..."

Shen Yihuan didn't say anything, nor did she plan to tell her the truth. It was just a small matter, just a small shrimp, not worth her talking about it.

The two returned to Chaoyang Palace. When Hongye saw Shen Yihuan, she hurried forward to serve him.

After she brought them all the way into the room and they were the only two left, she told Shen Yihuan what happened next.

"Ruhua's brother has been dealt with."

"Hongye, do you think my methods are too cruel?" Ruhua sacrificed herself to save her brother. But in the end, she broke her promise.

Hongye shook her head and said, "No, Hongye's brother deserved to die. If he wasn't a gambler, Hongye wouldn't have been sold to the Duke's Mansion since she was a child, and she wouldn't have lost her life today because of this matter."

"So, her brother, damn it!" From a certain perspective, they even helped her get revenge.

Shen Yihuan was very satisfied with Hongye's answer. In fact, from the very beginning, when she found Ruhua and set up the plan, she had already decided to deal with her brother in the end.

Although, the reason why Ruhua was willing to make such a sacrifice was entirely for her good-for-nothing brother.

But for Shen Yihuan, even if it wasn't for Ruhua, her brother couldn't stay.

When doing things, one should leave no trace. Moreover, she felt no guilt at all when dealing with such a bad person.

"Huan'er, my Crown Princess." Suddenly, the Crown Prince Zhao Xun's excited shouting was heard outside the house.

Shen Yihuan gave Hongye a look, and the latter retreated quietly, while she stood up and walked out.

"Your Highness."

When Zhao Xun saw her standing in front of him, he felt excited.

He took a few steps forward and asked with concern: "Huan'er, are you okay?"

When Shen Yihuan heard this, he knew that the matter must have spread.

Alas, it’s a pity that the Queen still wants to cover up for the Duke’s Mansion. It seems that there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world.

She looked at Zhao Xun and said softly, "What could possibly happen to me? Has Your Highness heard anything?"

"I heard that Liu Qingqing had an affair with the son-in-law of the Minister of Rites and was caught red-handed."

"Your Highness has also heard about it. It is true." Shen Yihuan said as he took his hand and led him into the house.

Zhao Xun followed Shen Yihuan's footsteps and continued, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I don't think Liu Qingqing would fall for that guy named Lin. She must have set up a vicious plan to deal with others, but she didn't expect to fall into the trap herself." He spoke nonsense but with full confidence.

Shen Yihuan was stunned, but he didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.

"Huan'er, it's you, right?" Zhao Xun looked at her and suddenly said.

Shen Yihuan was shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "Brother Xun, what did you say?"

She didn't know if this guy was bombing her, but she would never admit it without absolute evidence.
