I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Oh, have you heard? At yesterday's poetry gathering at Tianxiang Pavilion, His Highness the Seventh Prince was simply a poetic genius, composing three exquisite poems and winning first place!"

"How could I not have heard about it? I was there at the time, I experienced it firsthand!"

"Yes, yes, those three poems are all better than the last. My favorite is 'Drunk, I pick up my lamp to examine my sword'..."

"With such poetic talent, how could the Seventh Prince be a waste? It seems he has been hiding his true abilities all these years."

"Yes, yes, that's right, they're hiding their true abilities!"

"The Seventh Prince has been hiding his talents for so many years, how come he hasn't hidden his male favorites?"

"What?! Male concubines? The Seventh Prince actually keeps male concubines..."

The next day, the entire capital was in an uproar.

In the streets and alleys of the capital, in brothels and pleasure houses, groups of three or five people could be seen gathering together, discussing what happened at Tianxiang Tower the day before.

Almost everyone knows that the Seventh Prince is a reincarnation of the Poet Immortal, and that he has been hiding his talents for so many years.

Of course, what people talk about most is that the Seventh Prince kept male lovers and had homosexual tendencies.

However, in the alley behind the Song residence, Fang Yuan was furious.

"Shameless! Shameless scoundrel!"

"Not only did he plagiarize my poems, but he also dated my girls."

"Qin Feng, I'll remember you!"

Fang Yuan flew into a rage and slammed his fist into the wall.

Instantly, gray-black brick fragments flew and scattered everywhere.

The wall caved inward, revealing a large hole, and Fang Yuan's fist was covered in blood.

When the news came early this morning, he was extremely shocked and incredulous.

Because those poems simply don't belong to this era.

The only possibility is that the Seventh Prince Qin Feng, like him, came from another world.

But Chuntao told him that Song Qian had also gone to Tianxiang Tower yesterday.

Qin Feng borrowed the booklet filled with poems that he had given to Song Qian.

So, it's not certain whether Qin Feng is also a visitor from another world like him; more evidence is needed.

But one thing is 100% certain: the Seventh Prince Qin Feng not only plagiarized his poem and won the top spot, but also slept with his female subordinate Liu Mei!

Many people saw Qin Feng carry Liu Mei into a room on the second floor, and they didn't come out for a long time.

Row!

Is this how you play?

What happened to the Seventh Prince? Anyone who dares to touch his people, even a prince, will pay a price—a very heavy price.

He had even formed an alliance with Qin Feng in the Jiuyi Mountains, but he never expected Qin Feng to betray him like this.

Okay, he got it!

Just as Fang Yuan was furious, Chun Tao ran over to report, "Reporting to my son-in-law, Liu Mei has arrived."

Outside, she and her sister Xia Liu usually referred to Fang Yuan as "Lord of the Tower".

At the Song residence, to avoid arousing suspicion, they referred to Fang Yuan as their son-in-law.

finally come!

They're so late!

This has never happened before.

Did Liu Mei really give herself to another man?

Fang Yuan clenched his fists, seething with anger, but he had to suppress his rage and said, "Let her come over."

A short while later, Liu Mei, completely shrouded in a black robe, appeared in the alley behind the Song residence.

Judging from his walking posture, which was quite natural and showed no signs of virginity loss, Fang Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

When Liu Mei arrived, she couldn't help but glance at Chun Tao a few times.

Yesterday, Qin Li told her everything before he left.

Besides her, the two sisters Chun Tao and Xia Liu also betrayed Fang Yuan.

In other words, the people Fang Yuan trusted most are now Qin Li's men.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei felt extremely sorry for Fang Yuan.

Poor Fang Yuan was kept in the dark; poor Fang Yuan was manipulated by Qin Li.

She was pitiful as she was, but she didn't reveal any flaws.

She still has the Obedience Gu inside her, and she doesn't want to suffer the pain to death.

"Greetings, OP!"

When Liu Mei arrived, she bowed as usual.

"Enough with the nonsense."

Fang Yuan was still angry and didn't give Liu Mei a good look. "Tell me everything that happened at Tianxiang Tower yesterday."

Liu Mei answered truthfully, without concealing any details.

She described things exactly as they were.

Qin Li asked her to say this.

Qin Li said that Fang Yuan was a smart man.

When dealing with intelligent people, don't try to lie; you'll definitely be found out.

To ensure that every statement is true, however, by concealing key information and creating a montage-like lie, one can make it appear genuine.

Although she didn't know what montage meant, she did it anyway, only concealing Qin Li's identity, making Fang Yuan mistakenly believe that the Seventh Prince at Tianxiang Tower yesterday was Qin Feng himself.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Fang Yuan did not suspect anything, but instead punched the wall hard again.

"Damn Qin Feng!"

"He used my poems to make a name for himself, and now everyone in the capital is praising him as a poetic genius descended to earth."

"And that glory should have belonged to me, mine!!"

Fang Yuan roared incessantly, his nose almost crooked with anger.

However, at one moment, Fang Yuan suddenly frowned and muttered to himself, "Sigh, something's not right... As far as I know, the Seventh Prince Qin Feng failed to go to the border and was instead confined to his residence by imperial decree. He was even made an exception to attend the Dragon Vein Conference. After the conference, he was still supposed to return to his princely residence for confinement. Now, before the deadline has passed, how did he get to Tianxiang Tower?"

Upon hearing this, Chun Tao really wanted to rush up and tell Fang Yuan the truth: the person in Tianxiang Tower was not the Seventh Prince Qin Feng, but the First Prince Qin Li.

She also wanted to tell Fang Yuan that her sister Xia Liu's fate was still unknown, and that Qin Li had planted an obedience curse on her.

If she tells Fang Yuan the whole truth, he will definitely have a way to save her and her sister and thwart the eldest prince Qin Li's conspiracy.

But after much hesitation, she still couldn't take that step. She was willing to gamble with her own life, but she didn't dare to risk her sister Xia Liu's life.

All she wanted was for her sister to be alive and safe!

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Liu Mei was glad that she had told most of the truth as Qin Li had asked.

Otherwise, with Fang Yuan's intelligence, he would definitely have been able to see through her lie.

"Could it be that the person at Tianxiang Tower yesterday wasn't Qin Feng at all, but rather the First Prince Qin Li?"

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed deeply, and even his eyes narrowed.

In the Jiuyi Mountains, both he and Su Chen were tricked. Qin Li impersonated Qin Feng, causing them to misunderstand Qin Feng and fight each other.

This time, perhaps it will be the same.

"Mei'er, are you sure that was the Seventh Prince Qin Feng yesterday?" Fang Yuan didn't suspect Liu Mei and asked her whatever he wanted.

Liu Mei's answer was impeccable. She neither said yes nor no. She replied, "I am not sure if he is the Seventh Prince. Everything still needs to be investigated. Please give Mei'er some time."

Changing the subject, Liu Mei looked at Fang Yuan and said, "However, the Lord and the First Prince have no grudges against each other, so why would the First Prince cause trouble for the Lord? Isn't the Lord overthinking this?"

Listening to Liu Mei's words, Fang Yuan began to ponder.

After a while, he nodded, feeling that what Liu Mei said made sense.

Putting aside his status as the owner of Tianyi Tower, he was just a minor son-in-law, and no one would give him a second glance in a crowd.

The eldest prince, Qin Li, is a man of immense power and influence, busy with countless affairs of state. Why would he target a mere son-in-law like him?

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan cursed under his breath and gave Qin Feng another dressing down, insulting him and his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Just as he was getting into the middle of his rant, Fang Yuan suddenly stopped talking, as if he had thought of something.

"OP, what's wrong?"

Liu Mei asked subconsciously.

"No enmity or grudge?"

"Yes, we have no grudges against each other," Liu Mei confirmed.

Fang Yuan gently shook his head. "Mei'er, you didn't go to Jiuyi Mountain, so you don't know. This First Prince has been keeping an eye on me for a long time. He not only knows that I am the son-in-law of the Song family, but also that I am the owner of Tianyi Tower. He even said that of the three of us—Qin Feng, Su Chen, and me—he looks down on me the most. Chun Tao, you stay by my side. Did the First Prince say something like that?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei's face turned ugly. Fang Yuan was indeed as the eldest prince had said—very clever and difficult to deal with.

Most people would have already assumed that the person at Tianxiang Tower yesterday was the Seventh Prince, Qin Feng.

However, Fang Yuan still couldn't shake off his doubts.

Now, she dares not speak recklessly anymore.

Saying too much will easily expose your weaknesses.

Next, it's Chun Tao's turn...
