After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Xu Chunlan no longer dodged his gaze and stared straight at him.

"Should I be framed because of my ignorant admiration? Should I be tortured to death?"

"If I hadn't asked Princess Jing to help me, my daughter would have been tortured to death in Guiyuan yesterday!"

"Will Your Highness King Cheng shed a tear for me? Will you feel sorry for me? Oh... I'm afraid you will only look down on me, thinking that I have no self-respect and that I deserve to die, right?"

The gentle girl suddenly burst out with such sharp eyes and questioning words.

The question stunned King Cheng.

"What happened yesterday? What...did you encounter?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, do you believe me?"

Without waiting for King Cheng to answer, Xu Chunlan smiled self-deprecatingly, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. You can check to see if what I said is true."

"I was plotted against yesterday and was almost raped by Gao Xian. Everything that my maid Xia Ling endured was originally arranged for me."

"Yes, I deliberately performed for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I begged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take me in... But if not, how else can I save myself?"

"Even ants try to survive. I want to live. I want to live cleanly. Is that wrong?"

King Cheng saw the determination in her eyes.

The little flame of admiration in her eyes was extinguished little by little.

His heart suddenly ached, as if something that originally belonged to him had been taken away by someone.

Xu Chunlan lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It is Chunlan who is unlucky and cannot serve His Royal Highness the King. If there is an afterlife..."

"Forget it. If there is an afterlife, let's not meet each other."

After she finished speaking, tears rolled down her cheeks and fell on the back of King Cheng's hand.

The cool tears seemed to burn his hands.

As soon as he loosened his fingers, Xu Chunlan immediately escaped from his hands, as nimble as a kitten, running through the flowers, passing through the corridors, turning a corner, and disappeared.

King Cheng looked down at the tears on the back of his hand, and all he could hear were her aggrieved and resolute words.

What do you mean if there is an afterlife, we won’t meet again?

What? She just wants to do a clean job?

What happened in Guiyuan yesterday that he didn't know about?

Oh, by the way, she said Gao Xian, Xia Ling...

King Cheng frowned and called his men over, "Go check what happened to Gao Xian and Xia Ling in Guiyuan yesterday."

Xu Chunlan ran out of King Cheng's sight and wiped the tears from her face.

She smiled coldly. Her elder sister had plotted against her and framed her, causing her to almost lose her innocence and her life.

She should also repay her elder sister once, even though she couldn't do the same thing.

But at least let His Royal Highness King Cheng know what kind of person is lying next to him!

My aunt once said that men will always think about what they can't get.

She must make good use of King Cheng's "consideration" to repay her elder sister.

……

When King Cheng returned home, it was already dark.

Princess Cheng had been waiting for him to dine together for a long time.

"The prince is finally back. The food is being warmed in the kitchen. I will ask them to serve the meal right away." Princess Cheng immediately greeted him with a smile.

King Cheng just stared at her without saying a word.

Princess Cheng touched her face and asked, "Why is your Majesty looking at me like this? But is there something wrong with my face?"

"That's fine. You are so fine." King Cheng smiled.

Princess Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

If she didn't hear the sarcasm, she would be very dull.

"Your Highness... please let me know what I have done wrong. I will change." Princess Cheng said cautiously.

King Cheng looked at her and shook his head.

"You did a good job. I thought you were just jealous."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You can use such cruel means on your own sister!"

"Yes, Song Mingli helped her, but if Song Mingli didn't help her, would she still be alive?"

"Oh, I used to think that the fourth brother was confused and stupid! He married a divorced woman with a child! Now I know that it is true that you should marry a virtuous wife."

"You are far worse than Song Mingli!"

After King Cheng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out without even asking for his meal.

The maids were bringing in warm meals.

"Your Majesty..."

"roll!"

King Cheng turned away in anger.

Princess Cheng fell into a chair, covering her face with her hands, tears slipping through her fingers.

"Back off, everyone back off!" The head maid hurriedly asked everyone to put down their food and leave the room.

"Princess..." The head maid stepped forward, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Princess Cheng was filled with grievances and could no longer hold it in.

"Why... I just love him. He doesn't understand Third Sister's scheming and tactics at all! I just don't want him to be taken away by Third Sister..."

"Song Mingli is good? Song Mingli is generous? Prince Jing doesn't have three wives and four concubines to bother him! When the third sister was boating on the lake, playing the piano and singing, other men wanted to keep their eyes on the third sister, but Prince Jing didn't even look at her!"

"He actually said that I am not as good as Song Mingli?"

……

Princess Cheng felt aggrieved, but she didn't know that there were people who were more innocent and more aggrieved than her.

After Zhao Yezhen returned to the Duke's Mansion from Guiyuan, he went straight back to the inner courtyard.

She knelt down in front of the Duke's wife, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Oh, what happened?" The Duke's wife was shocked. "Mother Lian, help her up quickly!"

Zhao Yezhen knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

"Zhen'er almost caused trouble for the Duke's Mansion today. Zhen'er doesn't dare to get up and asks mother to punish her." Zhao Yezhen said with tears in her eyes.

The Duchess's wife felt distressed. Her daughter was usually well-behaved and sensible. What kind of trouble had she caused to scare her like this?

"Hurry up and get up. Don't you worry about getting into trouble? Aren't your parents still here?"

"Get up and talk nicely. Mom and Dad will find a way! Be good, don't be afraid, get up quickly."

The Duke's wife coaxed.

"I'm lucky to have my second sister-in-law today. If she hadn't arrived in time, my daughter would have brought a bad reputation of being 'uneducated' and 'privately giving' to the Duke's Mansion." Zhao Yezhen's eyes turned red with grievance.

The second young lady of the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Lin, also rushed over at this moment.

"Oh, how can you blame Zhen'er? Someone else deliberately plotted against her. Look how scared the child is! Get up quickly. Your parents won't blame you!"

Lin also hurried over to pull Ye Zhen up.

The Duke's wife was horrified when she heard this. "What do you mean by uneducated? What is this calculation?"

Lin told how Xu Songyi chased Zhao Yezhen and forced her to "give him a gift".

After hearing this, the Duke's wife was so angry that the flesh on her face throbbed.

"That's outrageous! The Xu family is so bullying! I finally found my daughter, but they treat her so rudely!?"

"It's really! It's really too much! My dear, it's not your fault! Why are you blaming yourself? Get up quickly!"

The Duke's wife looked at Zhao Yezhen's innocent appearance and felt even more distressed.

"not only that."

Zhao Yezhen suddenly said, "There was also the matter of falling into the water."

"Falling into the water?" The Duke's wife and Lin were both shocked. "You fell into the water?"

The two men looked at her quickly and saw that she was dressed neatly, in the same clothes she wore when she went out, and they couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"If Princess Jing hadn't come with me and helped me, I would have been tricked into falling into the water..."
