After sharing a body with her husband

Song Yunyi's expression changed, and she quickly apologized.

"Princess, please forgive me! I only... I only..."

She bit her lip, thinking quickly, then her eyes darkened, and she looked up at Princess Shuyue, saying:

"This humble woman simply cannot stand by and watch! Lady Shang goes around telling everyone, 'So what if she's Princess Shuyue? Seventh Master's beloved is her.' Her words are full of superiority, implying she's better than you, Princess. This humble woman simply cannot bear to see it, Princess!"

Princess Shuyue frowned.

"Did she really say that?"

Song Yunyi nodded vigorously, insisting:

"Yes! Perhaps she heard the rumors circulating around her. She's arrogant and always speaks without thinking!"

Princess Shuyue's face turned cold.

"Is everything you said true?"

"yes!"

Seeing that Princess Shuyue was angry, Song Yunyi was overjoyed, and became even more certain, adding fuel to the fire as she spoke.

"In my opinion, Seventh Master is a man of exceptional talent, and should be matched with a woman of exceptional talent. The Princess is as radiant as the moon, how could that conceited and arrogant woman compare to her?"

Princess Shuyue's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, her eyes filled with only cold desolation.

The next moment, Princess Shuyue slammed her teacup down on the table, making a crisp sound.

"Guards! Go to the Xie family and find Lady Shang to get the whole story! I want to hear how she's slandering me!"

Song Yunyi panicked, her smile freezing on her lips, her face filled with disbelief.

"Princess...Princess, if you send someone to ask her directly, she certainly won't admit it!"

She hadn't expected that Princess Shuyue would be so direct as to actually ask Lord Shang Ling.

How could Shang Lingjun possibly admit it?

Princess Shuyue raised an eyebrow coldly, "Of course I have to ask. Even when the yamen is judging a case, there is no rule that we should only listen to one side of the story."

Song Yunyi panicked for a moment. If Princess Shuyue really sent someone to ask, who knew what nonsense Shang Lingjun would spout...

Then...

"Princess, you mustn't!"

Her voice was strained with anxiety, "Your Highness, you must understand, she would never admit to something like this. Even if you wanted to punish her, you wouldn't know where to begin..."

"Why can't you be punished? Aren't you a witness?" Princess Shuyue retorted.

Song Yunyi choked for a moment, her face turning pale with suppressed anger.

Princess Shuyue waved her hand and gave an order.

"Send someone to the Xie family immediately and make sure they find Lady Shang and get to the bottom of this!"

Song Yunyi was extremely anxious, but helpless. She didn't know how to persuade Princess Shuyue. She knew that no matter what she said, she couldn't persuade Princess Shuyue now.

Now she could only hope that that bitch Shang Lingjun wouldn't spout nonsense. If Shang Lingjun dared to frame her, dared to slander her...

She will never let this go!

Princess Shuyue took in her expression, her eyes darkening.

……

When Shang Lingjun received an inquiry from someone from Prince Rong's Mansion at home, she was dumbfounded.

At that time, she and Xie Yan'an were brewing tea around a stove. Xie Yan'an was using a nutcracker to feed her walnuts. The small dish in front of Shang Lingjun was piled high with walnut kernels.

The arrival of the palace maid interrupted everything.

"Are you saying, Granny, that Sixth Miss Song went to the Prince's residence and, together with the Princess, sowed discord between me and others?"

The old woman's name was Granny Lanzhi. Granny Lanzhi nodded in agreement, her eyes sharp and piercing.

"So, the princess sent me to inquire whether Lady Shang has been disrespectful to the princess?"

Before Shang Lingjun could speak, Xie Yan'an frowned and said decisively:

"That's impossible!"

Shang Lingjun's eyelashes trembled slightly. She immediately understood what had happened. She guessed that Song Yunyi was getting angrier and angrier after being humiliated, and wanted to win over an enemy who could deal with her, so she went to Princess Shuyue to complain.

The princess's attitude is also worth pondering; she actually sent a nanny to ask her, which was far too direct.

If Princess Shuyue truly believed Song Yunyi's instigation, she would definitely be angry and summon her to the Prince's residence for questioning, instead of just sending a maid to find out the truth.

It seems there's a lot to talk about here.

Since Song Yunyi is acting arrogantly and going too far, then she doesn't need to give her any face!

Therefore, Lord Shang Ling looked at Xie Yan'an and said softly:

"Husband, you go out first. I need to talk to the nanny."

Song Yunyi's words concerned Princess Shuyue's reputation, and with Granny Lanzhi present, it was inappropriate for Xie Yan'an to be there.

Xie Yan'an looked at her with concern, and Shang Lingjun returned a reassuring smile. Xie Yan'an then glanced at Granny Lanzhi before nodding.

"Okay, take care of yourself."

Hearing Xie Yan'an's concern for Shang Lingjun's health, Granny Lanzhi's eyes flickered.

After Xie Yan'an left, Shang Lingjun looked at Granny Lanzhi with a faint smile.

"It is an honor for the Xie family to have you here, Granny. I think the matter is as follows..."

Shang Lingjun recounted the entire story of what Song Yunyi had told Xie Yan'an that day, including the incident where she had slapped Song Yunyi.

Upon hearing this, Granny Lanzhi's expression changed slightly. When she learned that Shang Lingjun had slapped Song Yunyi, she couldn't help but take another look at the delicate and frail Lady Shang.

Shang Lingjun's expression was frank, though she still seemed a little angry when she spoke of it.

"When the sixth daughter of the Song family shouted those words in public, I was really angry. Putting aside whether my husband is sincere to me, how could she keep saying that the princess is in love with the seventh master?"

A woman's reputation is paramount. Her actions were outrageous, and I was so angry that I hit her. I suppose it was because of that slap that she became so enraged and is now desperately trying to win over the princess to deal with me...

Granny Lanzhi frowned deeply upon hearing this.

"Is that really so? Has she lost her mind? How outrageous!"

Shang Lingjun nodded.

"It's absolutely true. My husband was so angry that he stormed off and didn't want to talk to her at all. My maid can also testify to this. And the guests at the funeral all saw that her cheeks were red after she was beaten. Please check, Granny."

Granny Lanzhi's face was tense, also annoyed. She looked at Shang Lingjun again and asked in confusion:

"I wonder what grudge you have against Miss Song, the Sixth Miss? Why does she not only try to sow discord between you and your husband, but also drag the Princess into it?"

Since she was already there, she decided to ask all the questions clearly.

Shang Lingjun recalled,

"It all started at the tea plantation banquet hosted by the Earl's mansion. I encountered a poisonous snake on the tea plantation..."

Shang Lingjun didn't hold back at all; she revealed almost everything.

Song Yunyi was the first to act unkindly, so don't blame her for being unjust!

Song Yunyi is here to kill her again. If Princess Shuyue really listens to her, it will be endless trouble and disaster for Shang Lingjun!

Human patience has its limits.

Perhaps this unexpected opportunity can completely crush her, preventing her from ever showing up in front of her again.

Therefore, Shang Lingjun completely exposed Song Yunyi's true colors, from her attempt to kill her with a poisonous snake, to her scheme to become Xie Yan'an's wife, and her apologies after the truth was revealed...
