Ying Yufu said, "You just said I'm promiscuous and seduce men? And you said you wanted to take me as a concubine, right?"

Su Jinyu stared at her fiercely.

"Don't you think you deserve a beating?" Ying Yufu said.

Su Jinyu's face darkened further: "What exactly do you want?"

"I told you, you deserve a beating!"

Ying Yufu said with an innocent look on her face.

"Ying Yufu, don't go too far!" Princess Mingluan couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh? Princess Mingluan is so protective of this outsider, could it be that she is truly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince?"

Ying Yufu asked with great interest.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't. I'm just dissatisfied with you." Mingluan was furious.

"Is that so? Could it be that you are in love with this man from another country? That's easy. I'll have His Highness the Crown Prince inform His Majesty, and His Majesty might grant your wish."

"Ying Yufu!"

"What Fu'er said makes sense. Mingluan, your father has always been reasonable. If you really like this person, I can help you."

Princess Huaxi then spoke up.

Princess Mingluan's face changed drastically; she trembled all over, perhaps from fright.

"Aunt!" Cang Mingze's expression also changed slightly. If the Grand Princess Huaxi really interfered in Mingluan's marriage, it could really affect the Emperor's decision.

"Aunt Hua Xi is such a good person!" Ying Yufu praised sincerely.

Princess Huaxi smiled broadly.

Cang Mingze stared intently at Ying Yufu. Fu'er had actually become like this.

She used to be so sensible, well-behaved, and understanding. Now, she's become so unruly.

She really disappointed him.

However, he was still moved by her.

The second prince closed his eyes, concealing the deep turmoil within. Oh well, what could he do when he fell for her? He was willing to make her his concubine and pamper her, as long as she didn't go too far.

Su Jinyu could hardly believe what he was hearing.

The Crown Prince sneered: "What? You think you can get away with insulting my Crown Princess so easily?"

If Prince Su is aloof and arrogant, then so be it.

"I will kill you now, and afterwards your Su family will have to kneel and beg for my forgiveness. Otherwise, Bei Xuan is not afraid of war between our two countries."

Su Jinyu's expression changed.

The situation in Dongchen is currently unstable, with the late Empress and the deposed Crown Prince's faction constantly causing trouble. If they were to seize this opportunity, it would certainly be very detrimental to my mother and uncle...

Thinking of this, Su Jinyu slapped herself across the face. "Crown Princess, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he slapped himself in the face again.

Two handprints immediately appeared on his face.

"When Dongchen apologizes, it's not enough to just slap them twice and call it a day, is it?"

Ying Yufu said casually.

Su Jinyu: "..."

"What else does the Crown Princess want? Why don't you just say it?"

"Ha, do I need to teach you that?"

Ying Yufu looked at him coldly.

Su Jinyu lowered her noble head. "Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Ying Yufu stared at him and said, "Neither the Crown Prince nor I are petty people. We won't kill you. Just kowtow to us a few times to apologize and ask us to forgive your mistakes. Oh, remember, you have to use respectful terms, otherwise we will think you are disrespectful to us."

Su Jinyu: "..."

"Please forgive my mistake, Your Highness and Princess Anguo."

"Please forgive my mistake, Your Highness and Princess Anguo."

"Please forgive my mistake, Your Highness and Princess Anguo."

He kowtowed three times and said three times.

"Good, your head is spared. I hope you will remember this lesson and be careful with your words and actions in the future, as this is the mark of good manners."

Otherwise, others will think you are ill-mannered.

The Crown Prince said calmly.

Su Jinyu's breathing became heavier.

The Crown Prince then said, "Alright, the Crown Princess and I are magnanimous and will not hold it against you. Your actions have disrupted Lady Sheng'en's banquet. You should apologize to her. If she does not hold it against you, you can stay and have a drink at the wedding."

Su Jinyu's lips trembled. "Is this ever going to end?"

He looked at Shangguan Tang.

Who is he, a man of such high status? Does this so-called Lady of Holy Grace even deserve his apology?

But the Crown Prince, Ying Yufu, and everyone else present were staring intently at him.

"My Lady, I was wrong to have disturbed the banquet. Please forgive me."

He bowed in greeting.

Shangguan Tang glanced at him, expressionless, "Although you are rude, I will not hold it against you since you were brought by Princess Mingluan."

After saying that, she turned her head and ignored them, saying directly, "Fu'er, Your Highness, please sit down. Don't let outsiders affect your mood."

"Yes, I'll listen to Mother."

"What Aunt Tang said is true."

Su Jinyu limped over to Mingluan's side.

Mingluan's tears fell in a steady stream. "Jinyu, I'm sorry, it's all because of me."

Dark emotions surged in Su Jinyu's eyes as he said, "It's not your fault, Mingluan. I will avenge this."

Mingluan sobbed and didn't say anything.

Beside her, Ying Hengzhi also stammered, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have said anything."

No one paid any attention to her.

Their attention was focused on Su Jinyu at that moment.

"Jinyu, I will help you," Wulingduo said.

Rong Qing didn't speak, but simply nodded.

"Second brother, let's go back. What are we still doing here?" Mingluan's eyes were full of resentment. She didn't want to stay here for another second.

Cang Mingze had not yet achieved his goal on this trip, so how could he possibly leave?

At this moment, people at the table got up in twos and threes and walked to other places.

"I heard that this Mu residence was once the mansion of a princess from the previous dynasty, and it was built quite luxuriously," Princess Huaxi said with great interest.

The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo had a look of nostalgia in her eyes. "That's right, this is the residence of Princess Anyang of the previous dynasty. Princess Anyang was the most beloved daughter of the previous emperor, so this residence was extremely luxurious."

However, when the late emperor bestowed this place upon me, it was somewhat damaged. I spent a lot of time and effort repairing it.

Later, when A-Tang got married, it was given to her as part of her dowry.

Shangguan Tang also laughed and said, "I never thought this place would become my home."

"Let's go, let's take a good look at it."

Everyone was in high spirits.

"Madam, two guests have arrived outside. They say their surname is Cheng."

At this moment, the gatekeeper hurriedly ran over and reported to Shangguan Tang.

The Cheng family?

Everyone looked at each other.

"The Cheng family is really something else. They broke off the engagement with great fanfare back then, but now they're coming to our door in a hurry."

The old lady of the Chang Le Duke said sarcastically.

The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo said, "Although the Cheng family's actions are despicable, the Shangguan family cannot be petty. Ah Tang, since they are here, please invite them in and see what their purpose is."

Before long, the Cheng siblings were led in.

The two were very polite, and as soon as they entered, they respectfully presented their congratulatory gifts.

Shangguan Tang nodded slightly. "Since you're here, why don't you all walk around and explore?"

The brother and sister thanked them.

As soon as Cheng Zhier looked up, her eyes swept around.

When she saw Ying Zhuoxiu not far away, her pupils trembled slightly.

It's him……

Why hadn't she recognized that slender figure before?

A strange emotion welled up in Cheng Zhier's eyes.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

Not far away, a group of men and women were talking together. Feng Yaoguang swayed and fell towards Ying Zhuoxiu.

Ying Zhuoxiu caught her.

How could he... touch other women?

For a moment, Cheng Zhier stared at Feng Yaoguang, her eyes filled with two monstrous black mists.
