Liu Mei, who was hiding behind the water tank beside the corridor, saw the Second Madam leading people away, and sneaked to the window...
With a gentle push, the window opened, but it was not closed tightly. God must be helping her!
Afraid that the gatekeeper would hear the noise, Liu Mei took off her shoes and tiptoed in.
After entering the inner room and closing the window, Liu Mei hurriedly tidied her dress, smoothed her hair and adjusted her hairpin. After she was done, she poured herself a cup of hot tea and walked gracefully to the bedside...
At this time, the prince was trapped in a nightmare in which he was chased by a monster with half the face of a beautiful woman and half the face of an evil ghost.
He ran desperately but was still tightly caught by the monster's sharp claws. The monster opened its bloody mouth and sprayed hot and smelly air on his face. He saw his head was about to be swallowed by the monster in one gulp.
The prince struggled frantically and shouted continuously.
"Ahhh! Get out!"
Liu Mei, holding a cup of hot tea, had just approached the bed when, before she could even see the face of the person on the bed clearly, she was slapped hard by a struggling and waving hand.
Liu Mei was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
The hot tea spilled out, and the scalding tea flowed onto Liu Mei's hands. Regardless of her scalded hands, Liu Mei covered her face in horror and looked at the person in front of her.
He is not the fifth prince, he is the crown prince!
Liu Mei had met the fifth prince Nan Huaishuo before. He had a gentle smile and was a gentle, humble, and elegant young man.
But the prince in front of him had disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, and was staring at Liu Mei with a ferocious look.
Liu Mei couldn't help but shiver.
She had heard about the prince's character. When she first came to the general's mansion, the old lady took her and Lin Qingrou to a lady's flower-viewing banquet, and they met the prince by chance on the way.
At that time, the old lady seemed to be facing a great enemy and was extremely nervous. She asked the two of them to wear veils from a distance and did not allow them to say anything.
Later, the nanny beside him explained that the prince was suffering from a serious illness and could not be treated humanely, but he was very fond of beautiful women. He kept them in the East Palace and tortured them. His methods of torture were horrifying, and even young ladies from official families fell victim to his torture.
Therefore, the old lady had solemnly warned Liu Mei and Lin Qingrou not to let the prince see them.
But now...
The prince gradually regained consciousness. He stared at the charming and alluring woman lying on the ground, feeling confused and angry. Another woman with half her face covered?
Could it be another monster?
The prince couldn't stand it any longer. If the monster existed, he would just beat him to death. How could this monster dare to touch him, the prince?
The prince threw back the quilt and got out of bed, pulling away Liu Mei's hands that were covering her face.
The exposed face was slightly red and swollen, but not scary. The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gradually shifted his attention to this beautiful face. What a charming beauty...
Liu Mei's heart was in her throat. What should she do?
Boom boom boom!
The servant outside the door heard the noise inside the room and knocked on the door to ask, "Does Your Highness have any instructions?"
The prince suddenly remembered that he was in the general's mansion, "Let the fifth prince and Lin Minglang come to see me."
Liu Mei was secretly relieved, thinking that her second uncle would be able to save her as long as he came.
Looking at the delicate and beautiful woman in front of him, the prince couldn't help but slowly stroke Liu Mei's injured face, with greed in his eyes, "Who are you?"
Liu Mei's heart tightened again, and her voice couldn't stop trembling: "I am Mrs. Lin's granddaughter, and I am staying in the general's mansion..."
Liu Mei didn't dare to mention her identity. If the prince knew that she was born in the empty shell of Duke Liu's Mansion, he would probably eat her up.
"She looks charming and attractive..."
"Your Highness is too kind. Mei'er's appearance is crude. Compared with Miss Lin Yushu of the Lin family, there is a world of difference."
Lin Yushu... The prince felt a chill when he heard this name. Everyone in the general's mansion must be thinking of him as a fool!
"Huh, it turns out you are still a scheming beauty."
The prince swung his hand hard, and Liu Mei's face was thrown to the side, with her hairpin and temples scattered all over. She looked so embarrassed and was extremely scared.
Just then, Nan Huaishuo and Lin Minglang arrived. When they saw the scene inside the house, they were both stunned. Lin Minglang's cold sweat, which had just stopped, began to flow again.
Nan Huaishuo ignored Liu Mei who was sitting on the ground sobbing, and walked forward to carefully help the prince change his clothes.
"Lin Minglang, the women in your house are quite new."
The prince's tone was meaningful, there seemed to be dissatisfaction in his eyes, but there was a smile on the corners of his mouth.
Lin Minglang didn't know that the prince's anger because of Lin Yushu had been calmed down by Liu Mei, and he kept begging for mercy.
The prince snorted heavily, and left in a mighty manner with Nan Huaishuo and a group of guards.
Before leaving, he gently helped Liu Mei up, which made Liu Mei even more scared.
After seeing off the prince and his entourage, the servant that Lin Minglang sent to look for Nan Rongjing came back to report that Nan Rongjing had left long ago. He did not say hello when he came, nor did he say hello when he left.
Lin Minglang was angry, but he dared not say anything, after all, the other party was a living devil.
"Grandma!"
Back at Ci'an Hall, the frightened Liu Mei cried and threw herself into the old lady's arms.
"Why on earth did you go to the front yard today?"
The old lady asked Liu Mei in disappointment. The old lady was always well-informed. She already knew that Lin Yushu's date was ruined by Lin Xuehui and even scared the prince. She was afraid that the prince had become jealous and went to the general's mansion. This time, she really lost more than she gained.
But the prince had met Liu Mei alone, and the news about the prince and his entourage was clearly blocked in the mansion today, so how did she know about it!
After Liu Mei explained everything, the old lady's eyes flashed. Two little maids were chatting outside Liu Mei's house and were just overheard by Liu Mei?
The old lady doesn't believe in coincidences. What happened today must have been deliberately planned by someone!
"Madame Li, go find the two maids who were gossiping today!"
"Yes."
Liu Mei was not stupid to begin with. As soon as she heard what the old lady said, she understood that someone had plotted against her today!
Once she finds out who schemed against her, she will make sure to pay it back tenfold or a hundredfold!
After a cup of tea, Nanny Li came back.
"Replying to the old lady, the two maids who were gossiping outside the cousin's room were a maid in the cousin's yard, and the other was Qiuchan who was beside the fourth young lady."
Lin Xuehui again?
The old lady knew her granddaughter well. She was not pretty but had a bad temper and was a fool. How could she have thought of asking the maid to lead Liu Mei to the front yard? How did she know that the prince and his entourage were coming to the mansion today?
Before the old lady could ask, Li Ma replied, "I have found out. Today, Qiu Chan went to the storehouse to get the medicine for the fourth young lady's foot, and happened to see the second master bringing people into the mansion."
The old lady still felt that this matter would not be so simple. Even if Lin Xuehui hated Lin Yushu, why did she target Liu Mei?
Although now it seems that it was indeed Lin Xuehui who did it.
She knew that Lin Yushu was going to meet the prince, and when she learned that the prince had entered the mansion, she went to discredit Lin Yushu, and deliberately tricked Liu Mei to the front yard...
But the person who really benefited from Liu Mei’s incident was... Lin Qingrou!
The old lady wants to support both Lin Qingrou and Liu Mei. No matter which of them can marry the prince and become the queen, the general's mansion will soar to the sky and have power over the court.
These two people also know their missions, and there is no guarantee that they will not regard each other as stumbling blocks in their way.
"I will punish Hui'er severely. Mei'er, don't worry. With your second uncle here, the prince won't touch you easily."
Seeing that the matter was lightly revealed, anger and unwillingness continued to churn in Liu Mei's heart, but she knew that she could not disobey the old lady, so she lowered her head and agreed very obediently.
The old lady was very satisfied to see that her granddaughter was so sensible and had a much better temper than her mother when she was young.
Back in the room, Liu Mei's face darkened. Although she and Lin Xuehui did not get along, doing this in such a sneaky way was not the style of the reckless and impulsive Lin Xuehui.
I’m afraid this matter is related to Lin Qingrou, or even the Second Madam!
The hatred in Liu Mei's eyes burst out like substance, "Very good, you three, mother and daughter, wait for me!"
