After sharing a body with her husband

Behind the artificial hill, Shang Lingjun listened quietly to their conversation.

"Madam, don't listen to Miss Song's nonsense. Seventh Master used to be a good-natured man with a lot of friends! He treated every friend with utmost sincerity."

Although many noble ladies sought to get closer to Seventh Master, he never overstepped the bounds and always strictly adhered to the separation of men and women.

As if afraid that Shang Lingjun wouldn't believe her, Qingzhi whispered again:

"If there really is something between Seventh Master and Princess Shuyue, given Seventh Master's personality, he'll definitely get whoever he likes. If he doesn't take the initiative, then it means he doesn't like them!"

Shang Lingjun nodded, a very slight curve appearing at the corners of her lips.

"I know."

Qingzhi is right. With Xie Yan'an's flamboyant and unrestrained nature, if he likes someone, he will definitely pursue her relentlessly and shamelessly.

Even if separated by thousands of miles, I will still draw people into my arms.

there.......

Song Yunyi's lips twitched twice, but the words she was about to say were swallowed back down. She gritted her teeth inwardly.

Seeing that Xie Yan'an was about to leave, she panicked and caught a glimpse of the area behind the artificial hill out of the corner of her eye.

Song Yunyi's pupils contracted slightly; it seemed to be the servant's uniform worn by a servant of the Xie family.

Moreover, she seemed to be a first-class maid. Could she be someone sent by Lord Shang to keep an eye on her?

She immediately came up with a plan and called out to Xie Yan'an:

"Seventh Master!"

"Seventh Master keeps saying that you and your wife have a harmonious relationship, but you're not truly in love with her; you're just repaying a debt of gratitude! You consider her your wife?"

It's only because she brought you so-called "good fortune." Seventh Master is a respectable man, upholding morality and family ties, and he's willing to force himself to do so!

"But Seventh Master, you're trapped by morality, betraying the one you love. You made Princess Shuyue watch you be a loving couple with someone else. Doesn't your heart ache?!"

Song Yunyi spoke very quickly, almost in one breath.

She was certain that this was the truth, which is why she spoke with righteous indignation and a strong sense of justice.

Xie Yan'an slowly turned around to look at her in shock, with an expression that said, "Are you crazy?"

It was as if I had heard something utterly absurd.

In that instant, he was truly enraged, his disgust and impatience undisguised in his eyes.

But before Xie Yan'an could get angry, Song Yunyi turned and ran away in fright, as if she was afraid Xie Yan'an would beat her up. But to say she was scared...

Before leaving, she forced herself to say one last thing:

"That's all I have to say. Think about it yourself!"

Xie Yan'an's brows furrowed tightly, his heart heavy with frustration. He wanted to say something, but the person had already run far away.

He couldn't chase after her and argue with her, after all, he was a man, and he was disabled, with only one good arm left, and he had to use a cane.

Xie Yan'an scoffed coldly in anger:

"baffling!"

Behind the artificial hill, Qingzhi couldn't help but join in with a curse:

"ill!"

Compared to Qingzhi's angry expression, Shang Lingjun was much calmer. She moved with light steps, her voice light and airy.

"Let's go."

Seeing Shang Lingjun's nonchalant demeanor, Qingzhi's heart began to pound.

"Madam, please don't believe the nonsense spouted by Miss Song Liu..."

Shang Lingjun didn't care at all.

"How could that be? It's just a few baseless ramblings, like a fart in the wind. It'll dissipate with the wind, and only a fool would hold onto it and smell it!"

Qingzhi was taken aback. The lady's words were indeed... rough but reasonable.

She glanced back at Xie Yan'an, who had already left, and asked:

"Madam, where are we going? Seventh Master has already left. Should I go and call him back?"

"Need not……"

Shang Lingjun smiled, but her eyes were filled with a cold and fierce aura. She had completely exhausted her patience with Song Yunyi!

Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's a little kitten.

"Walk!"

At his command, Shang Lingjun led Qingzhi straight to Song Yunyi. When they found her, Song Yunyi was secretly delighted by the wall, as if she had accomplished something great!

When Song Yunyi saw Shang Lingjun arrive, she looked surprised. "So fast?"

Could it be that behind the artificial hill, there were not only servants, but also Lord Shang Ling?

Song Yunyi raised an eyebrow. This bitch must be feeling really resentful.

great.

Song Yunyi took a step forward defiantly, her face still bearing her usual gentle smile, and spoke softly:

"What are you doing here, Madam? I was just about to take my leave..."

Shang Lingjun raised a delicate eyebrow, strode forward, and without a word, delivered a crisp and clean slap—

"Snapped!"

Song Yunyi's head was turned to the side by the blow, and a finger mark instantly appeared on her cheek. Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and then feelings of shame, anger, humiliation, and resentment overwhelmed her reason.

"How dare you hit me?"

Song Yunyi stared wide-eyed, her voice shrill.

"So what if I hit you?"

Shang Lingjun's gaze was sharp. She wiped her palms with a handkerchief, as if she had touched something dirty.

"I'm not going to argue with you because I'm too lazy to argue with a mad dog, but you're taking advantage of my kindness and trying to stir up trouble once or twice. Last time wasn't enough, and now you're doing it to my husband's face. Aren't you disgusting?"

"And you call yourself a noble lady from an earl's mansion? Your mind is full of filth! All the manners and etiquette you learned since childhood have gone to waste!"

"Look around the entire capital, is there any unmarried woman who gossips about other couples' private affairs?"

"You don't even have the slightest bit of decorum befitting a well-bred lady? Are you out of your mind?!"

Shang Lingjun's eyes were filled with mockery and disdain. Her previous subtle sarcasm had only maintained a facade of politeness, but this time she could no longer tolerate it.

Since Song Yunyi is pushing her luck, she might as well tear off her fake face!

Song Yunyi covered her face, both shocked and furious. She never expected that Shang Lingjun would show her no mercy and dare to openly confront her face to face!

She had always thought Shang Lingjun was hypocritical and good at putting on a show, so even if she overheard him, she wasn't afraid. At most, she would just make a few sarcastic remarks like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

But Shang Lingjun actually dared to make a move!?

Enraged, Song Yunyi's breathing became more and more rapid, and her eyes turned red. She had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child!

"I am the legitimate daughter of the Earl's family, a guest of your household. How dare you, of such lowly birth, hit me?!"

Fine... I'll definitely tell the elders of the Xie family, and tell my father and mother to stand up for me! I... I'll also report it to the authorities...

"I will let the whole of Shengjing know that you, this wicked woman, have committed heinous acts in public, assaulting our distinguished guest, Lord Shang Ling! I will never let you get away with this!"

Song Yunyi no longer wore a fake face; these were her true feelings. She considered herself noble and had always looked down on Shang Lingjun's mediocre background!

But Shang Lingjun was not afraid at all. She sneered, her face full of contempt.

"Speak! Go ahead and say it! Spread what you just said! Let everyone in Shengjing hear it!"

How did the eldest daughter of this count's mansion manage to sow discord between other couples! How did she fabricate and concoct stories about the princess having an affair with a man?!

Shang Lingjun's words, spoken with such veiled sarcasm, gradually turned Song Yunyi's face deathly pale.

"How precious and noble is the Princess! A woman's reputation is more important than her life. Do you even know this is broad daylight? Yet you keep threatening to ruin the Princess's reputation and dishonor her honor! Can your Earl's mansion bear the stigma of speaking ill of the nobility? Can you bear the consequences with your life?!"

Song Yunyi felt a chill run down her spine. The fierce expression that had just been on her face, threatening to make sure Shang Lingjun would let things go, froze on her face, and her arrogance was completely extinguished.

Seeing her expression, Shang Lingjun knew she was afraid.

"So you can be afraid after all?"

Shang Lingjun uttered a sarcastic remark, a smile that concealed a dagger!

"I'd love for you to tell! Outsiders will only praise my husband and me for respecting the royal family, while you... ha!"

Shang Lingjun raised an eyebrow.

"You're dead!"
