Such a thing happened at the lotus banquet, and the unfinished dinner party could not continue, so the eldest princess of Shouyang confessed to everyone present, and then ordered someone to go to the water pavilion to inform and let the guests disperse first.

Jiang Shu, Zhu Xuanrao, and Zheng Qingyuan are all in Hou Tingke's Lanyue Pavilion, so it is closer to the princess's mansion than the back garden, and there is no need to return to the water pavilion to find Ye Chi to save them, so they left directly with everyone.

The three of them walked side by side on the straight road with the shadows of the princess's mansion, and when they were separated from the people in front and behind them for a distance, Zheng Qingyuan looked at Zhu Xuanrao with admiration and said: "Xuanrao, you are really smart today, let that hateful Hou Tingke eat the consequences, and know to lie on the ground and pretend to be dizzy, so as to clear yourself of suspicion." ”

"Wasn't I smart before" Zhu Xuanrao heard this, and her little face suddenly pulled down unhappily.

"I didn't mean that," Zheng Qingyuan knew that she wasn't really angry, smiled and waved his hand, then thought of something and asked, "By the way, how did you lure Wan Changzuo over?"

"Where did I lead it," Zhu Xuanrao glanced at Jiang Shu beside her, and said with a cold look in her eyes, "This is a plan set up by the two of them, if it weren't for the third sister-in-law who discovered the beauty on my body in advance and laughed away, I would be the one who was ruined by Wan Changzuo at this moment."

"You mean, Hou Tingke laughed at you with a beauty smile, so that Wan Changzuo would ruin your innocence" Jiang Shu was stunned when he heard this, and then thought of when he was dragged by Ye Chiwan to the Qinghui class to watch a play a few days ago, he saw Hou Tingke and Wan Changzuo meeting alone nearby.

At that time, I only thought that they were aunts and cousins, and it was nothing to meet alone, so I didn't care too much.

Now that I think about it, it was not long after Zhu Xuanrao helped herself in the painting competition between herself and Hou Tingke, could it be that because of that incident, she had a grudge against Zhu Xuanrao, and she was already planning to destroy her

"It's too vicious," Zheng Qingyuan's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of anger, "I thought she was just trying to make you lose her honor in public, but I didn't expect her to know how important innocence is to a woman."

"If she hadn't gone so far, I wouldn't have used such drastic tactics to fight back against her." Zhu Xuanrao gritted her teeth and said.

"But you're still soft-hearted," Jiang Shu turned his head to look at her, "You just said in public that Hou Tingke was unwell, and Wan Changzuo took advantage of the danger of others, but you didn't say that it was the two of them who had saved Hou Tingke's reputation." In this way, although everyone knew that she had lost her body, they sympathized with her, not despised her. ”

"I'm not soft-hearted to her, I just don't want to see Aunt Shouyang too sad," Zhu Xuanrao said in a deep voice, "Uncle left early, she is such a daughter as Hou Tingke, if I completely destroy her, how sad Aunt Shouyang should be." ”

"You are really kind-hearted," Zheng Qingyuan heard this, and sighed in a low voice, "I can't do this, no matter who dares to do something that hurts me, I will definitely be very dedicated."

"This is just a few cases," Zhu Xuanrao couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I, Zhu Xuanrao, also dare to love and hate, besides, although Hou Tingke's move is sinister, but with such a result, I should thank her for solving the trouble of Wan Changzuo for me." That Wan Changzuo, these days I have come to the palace several times to find the imperial grandmother to marry him and me, I am really afraid that she will not be able to resist his entanglement and agree again, now I can rest assured. ”

"In this way, you are still a blessing in disguise," Zheng Qingyuan smiled lightly and tugged at the corners of his lips.

"That's" Zhu Xuanrao smiled proudly, turned to look at Jiang Shu and said, "Third sister-in-law, tomorrow is the day of Fengzhi's rest, you say, is it okay for me to invite him to go boating in Shichahai?"
