The popular girl transmigrates into a supporting female character, and she specializes in seducing t

The man was dressed in a black robe, which accentuated his tall and slender figure. His hair was tied up and bound into a jade crown. His narrow eyebrows and eyes held an icy expression, and his thin lips were tightly pursed.

He stood quietly upstairs, his dark eyes looking down at the people below. Unlike his usual aloof and otherworldly demeanor, he now exuded an intense sense of oppression, making people want to kneel and submit.

Yet, on this very man's long, slender neck, there was a striking, vibrant red mark.

Next to the red mark, there was a lingering tooth mark...

Since Sang Ling was able to get involved with Pan Xiucai behind Li Shi's back, she naturally read quite a few of those forbidden books and novels.

Almost the instant Sang Ling saw the mark on Yan Xi's neck, she immediately understood who had left it.

In the instant she realized what was happening, Sang Ling's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and her gaze towards Yan Xi was filled with hurt.

"Your Highness, our engagement banquet is just around the corner! How could you... how could you treat me like this!"

Sang Ling's heart was breaking. On her way here, she had imagined countless scenarios of meeting the prince. For this, she had specially dressed up for an hour, hoping to amaze him at first glance.

Sang Ling had considered countless possibilities, but she never imagined that the prince who had fallen in love with her at first sight would appear in front of her looking like this!

How could he do this to me! Tomorrow is their engagement party!

Even if he had his own desires, it wasn't that she was unwilling. She only needed to wait one more day; just one more day and she could have his wish fulfilled. Why then...?

The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she became. Sang Ling felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe, and large tears rolled down her cheeks, making her look extremely pitiful.

Yan Xi followed the woman's gaze downwards and saw the woman's pained and heartbroken expression.

Recalling the current scene and her fiancée's abrupt and bold actions just now, Yan Xi suddenly understood.

Yes, it's understandable that the young fiancée feels resentful after being treated that way by the Sang family.

Now that she's heard that Miss Sang Qi, who stole her identity, still dares to come knocking on her door, it's not hard to understand why she'd take this opportunity to vent her anger.

Moreover, she didn't even ask him to make a move; she just silently kissed him as a show of defiance.

This shows that she cares about herself, which is why she considers things this way.

Thinking of this, Yan Xi's originally cold expression softened considerably.

Since Huanhuan wanted to get revenge in this way, how could he, as her fiancé, not cooperate?

"Miss Sang, you'd better not look at me like that. We've only met a few times, so don't let others misunderstand."

When Sang Ling saw his expression soften, she assumed that he felt sorry for her because he saw her crying.

Before she could even feel a surge of joy, Yan Xi's words were like a bucket of cold water mixed with ice, drenching her completely.

His voice was indifferent, his eyes were cold, and his gaze towards Sang Ling was completely unwavering, as if he were dead.

The smugness that had just surfaced in Sang Ling's eyes was shattered by these words, but Yan Xi was not about to let her off the hook.

"Furthermore, I am currently engaged in official duties as instructed by His Majesty during my trip to the south. Miss Sang Qi has no reason to cause a disturbance and attract attention. If she disrupts these official duties, even ten heads would not be enough to save her."

Upon hearing this, those who had originally planned to gather together to watch the show fell silent, fearing that Prince Jing'an would take his anger out on them, and some even knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

It should be noted that Marquis Jing'an was a trusted minister who protected the current emperor all the way to the throne, and the Crown Prince Jing'an was a close friend of the emperor since childhood.

Even after His Majesty ascended the throne, he never forgot to share a drink and celebrate with him.

Although the true purpose of his trip to the south is unclear, it must be something important that this gentleman is handling!

These past few days, rumors about the seventh young lady of the Sang family have been rampant in Suzhou. Since the young master has never shown up to deny it, the people who are blinded by gossip have forgotten about her identity.

But now that they have seen this person in person, their indifferent tone alone is enough to make everyone feel shocked and terrified.

You should know that speaking ill of important officials in the court without authorization is a capital offense! Especially since this person's identity is not just that of an important official!

Upon hearing the words, the tears that were about to fall in Sang Ling's eyes froze instantly.

Suzhou is a city with an open and honest society, and she often acted arrogantly because of her status and the pampering of her family.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked down on Prince Jing'an so much before even meeting him. But now, seeing his arrogant attitude as if he were looking down on an ant, Sang Ling suddenly realized the difference between them.

Her face turned pale and then red. She didn't know how to face the situation. Although she was still unwilling, she had no choice but to kneel down and apologize.

"I was rude for a moment, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Time passed quietly, and it seemed as if invisible frost was condensing in the air, so everyone dared not even breathe too hard.

After an unknown amount of time, just as panic gripped everyone's hearts, the man standing on the high place finally spoke calmly.

"Fine, for the sake of Mother and Aunt Ning, let's let this matter go, but—"

Before everyone could relax, Yan Xi's words sent chills down their spines.

"The Sang family is the Sang family, and Aunt Ning is Aunt Ning. She died in childbirth after marrying into the Sang family, which shows that your Sang family did not take good care of her. This time, after I am engaged to her daughter, I will take her away. From then on, the Sang family will have no further connection with the Jing'an Marquis's family."

After finishing her long speech, Yan Xi didn't linger for a moment. She strode away, leaving behind a pale-faced Sang Ling and those unaware of the situation staring at each other in bewilderment.

Once Yan Xi's figure had completely disappeared, everyone stood up and whispered among themselves.

"What does the young master mean by that? Who is this Aunt Ning he's talking about?"

"That's right, didn't the Sang family say they had some kind of marriage agreement with the young master? But what's going on now? The young master's words are clearly an attempt to distance himself from the Sang family!"

"Oh, speaking of which, I seem to remember this! Master Sang was quite the ladies' man in his youth, taking many concubines. Back then, the first wife of the Sang family caused quite a stir!"

"Ah, I remember now! That's right, back then, Master Sang suddenly dismissed all those beauties, saying he had met a woman he truly loved, her name was... right! Ning Yue!"

"Why haven't I heard of it all these years?"

Those unaware of the details were puzzled. The Sang family was a highly renowned institution in Suzhou, and if this were true, everyone would surely be discussing it.

But why is there not a single word of it?

"You wouldn't know this, but Master Sang was completely infatuated with that woman, even neglecting his first wife, Madam Li, who often went to others to cry. It's just a pity that she passed away unexpectedly after giving birth to their child... Master Sang was devastated, and his first wife, under the guise of comforting him, simply kept the news a secret, forbidding anyone from mentioning it again, and since then, no one has known!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the speaker with strange eyes.

"How did you know that?"

The man paused, then scratched his head.

"One of the concubines that Master Sang dismissed lived next door to me!"

Everyone suddenly realized, but then someone raised a question.

"If that's the case, then the one betrothed to the young master should be Madam Ning's daughter. I remember Miss Sang Qi was born to the first wife, Madam Li, right? Because she was favored, a grand full-moon banquet was held to celebrate. Why is she now the young master's fiancée?"

As soon as she uttered those words, everyone's gaze instantly turned to Sang Ling, who was still standing in the center.

Yes, the young master and Madam Ning's daughter are engaged. Although no one knows what Miss Sang Qi looks like, given the circumstances back then, the principal wife would certainly not allow the daughter of a concubine she disliked to be so favored.

In other words, the Sang Ling in front of them could not possibly be Madam Ning's biological daughter.

Yet, she was able to become the young master's fiancée while holding the title of Madam Ning's daughter...

The information being concealed here is quite intriguing.

Sang Ling was still heartbroken by Yan Xi's indifferent and cold attitude when her maidservant, sensing something was wrong, pushed her hard, bringing her back to her senses.

But before she could vent her anger on the maid, she met the astonished and suspicious gazes of the crowd.

When Sang Ling realized what everyone had been talking about, her face turned pale instantly!

At that moment, only two words occupied her mind—

Finished!
