After sharing a body with her husband

"How can they be the same? These are all tea leaves that I, the princess, painstakingly picked. Shang, not only did you spill them, but why are you blaming others?"

Princess Shuyue looked coldly at Lord Shang Ling, her tone reproachful.

At the same time, she was disappointed that Xie Yan'an would marry a wife of such a character.

That's an insult to Xie Yan'an!

Shang Lingjun bit her lip, then her eyes filled with a misty haze, tears immediately rolling down her cheeks, her voice trembling violently.

"I truly don't know where I offended Miss Song, that she would set traps to harm me at every turn? You personally invited me to this tea mountain, was it just to frame me and have the princess punish me? I have no past grudges with Miss Song!"

Shang Lingjun's misty eyes were filled with incomprehension and grievance.

This was indeed a question that puzzled her. She didn't think she had offended Song Yunyi in any way; on the contrary, Song Yunyi had been very warm and welcoming to her.

Looking back now, I realize they had ulterior motives!

What is she after, when there is no grudge between them?

Could it be that……

Song Yunyi's face froze instantly. She stared blankly at Shang Lingjun, who was crying and questioning her. Shang Lingjun's aggrieved appearance was much better than hers.

Song Yunyi was so startled that her lips moved, and she forgot what she was going to say for a moment. At the same time, she was also flustered. What did Shang Lingjun mean by saying this out of the blue?

Shang Lingjun, that silly and naive guy, hasn't he always liked me a lot?

She orchestrated this accident simply to make Princess Shuyue dislike Shang Lingjun, so that she could win her over later. Afterward, she would appease Shang Lingjun, coaxing her as if she were a fool.

She didn't intend to break ties with Shang Lingjun; in fact, she wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to him and make things easier in the future!

Princess Shuyue couldn't understand what was going on either, but she wasn't stupid. Judging from what Shang Lingjun said, could there be another hidden story?

She then looked at Song Yunyi.

Song Yunyi looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"What do you mean by this, Aunt? Even if you're afraid of the princess's wrath, you shouldn't have framed me. Where are the traps to harm you?"

"What...where did this come from? Aunt, ask yourself honestly, since we met, I have always treated you with respect and never been negligent!"

Shang Lingjun raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her voice a little hoarse.

"I don't know what I did to offend the Earl's mansion that they would use a poisonous snake to kill me."

Shang Lingjun simply pushed the basket away, and the dead snake inside rolled out. The villains were about to take her life, so why should she help the Earl's Mansion cover up their shame?

She, Shang Lingjun, didn't want to cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it either!

Since they won't let it go, let's all see how the Earl's mansion treats its guests!

"what!"

Song Yunyi was so frightened that her face turned pale and she screamed. Even Princess Shuyue was so frightened that she took two steps back.

"It's a snake!"

The venomous snake was truly terrifying; the knife stuck in its back made it even more frightening.

Shang Lingjun took a deep breath and said:

"At today's tea mountain banquet, realgar powder was sprinkled everywhere to repel snakes and insects. Why is there a highly venomous snake hiding at my feet? Can your Earl's Mansion explain this? I don't know who wants to harm me, but since this is your Earl's Mansion's territory, it is ultimately related to your family."

I didn't want to make a fuss. Today is the Earl's mansion's day, and I don't want to embarrass the host family. Anyway, no one was hurt, so I'll just leave quietly. Maybe this snake is just a fish that slipped through the net?

"But Miss Song, you just bumped into me while carrying the tea tray, and immediately accused me of bumping into you. And what a coincidence that you were carrying Princess Shuyue's tea tray! How could I not be suspicious?"

Shang Lingjun stared intently at Song Yunyi, pressing her for answers!

Song Yunyi was horrified and stared wide-eyed as she said:

"You mean I released a poisonous snake to bite you? No, it wasn't me! I really don't know where that poisonous snake came from! I did lose my footing just now, I..."

Song Yunyi felt utterly speechless. She never expected that Shang Lingjun, who seemed so innocent and easy to fool, would actually be so difficult to deal with!

On the surface, she called out to Yunyi affectionately, but now she's being aggressive!

Poisonous snake?

She didn't release the snake, so could it be... her mother?!

Seeing Song Yunyi's strong reaction, Shang Lingjun frowned slightly. It didn't seem like her...

But she quickly seized upon the loophole in Song Yunyi's words.

"So you admit that you lost your grip on the tray and tripped over me?"

Song Yunyi's face immediately turned pale. Between the two options, she had no choice but to admit it, even though she was in a bad mood.

Otherwise, if they let her keep shouting that the Earl's mansion released snakes to harm her, and given how much her father values ​​his reputation, what would become of the Earl's mansion's honor?

Father will definitely not let her off easily!

Song Yunyi gritted her teeth,

"Yes! It was indeed my fault that I accidentally stepped on and broke the tea tray. I was afraid that the princess would blame me, so I shifted the blame to my aunt. It was my fault. I will accept whatever punishment or scolding my aunt wants!"

I urge you, Aunt, to be careful what you say. My Earl's mansion would never do anything like releasing poisonous snakes to kill someone. This must be a misunderstanding! Aunt, please think...

"Today's tea plantation banquet is hosted by my Earl's manor. How could we possibly risk lives on our own turf? Wouldn't that be smearing our own reputation?"

Song Yunyi raised three fingers and made a solemn oath.

"Furthermore, I absolutely did not intend to frame my aunt. I was just afraid of being blamed by the princess. I swear, if I did it on purpose, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Her tone was firm, her chest heaving violently with intense emotion.

Mrs. Liang looked at Shang Lingjun and gently shook her head, indicating that that was enough.

Then, Mrs. Liang smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Why must you make such a solemn oath, Miss Song? My lady was almost bitten by a poisonous snake, and she's already terrified. You're just adding to her fear."

So our Seventh Madam thought someone wanted to harm her, which is why her words were a bit harsh. Alright, alright, since it was a misunderstanding, let's clear it up. Sixth Miss, please don't cry anymore."

Shang Lingjun did not stop her. She understood what Liang Mama meant. The Xie family and the Earl's Mansion had always been on good terms, and their interests were intertwined and involved officialdom. They certainly could not afford to break off relations.

But she also had to teach the mastermind a lesson, otherwise they would really think that she, Shang Lingjun, was easy to bully.

This commotion is enough to keep the mastermind from sleeping well for two nights.

As for who it is, Lord Shang Ling will definitely investigate further!

Song Yunyi wiped away her tears, secretly relieved. She looked up at Princess Shuyue's face and saw the princess staring at her coldly, which made her heart skip a beat.

Princess Shuyue said in a deep voice:

"I understand now. Although it was just a misunderstanding, a venomous snake almost bit someone at your Earl's banquet. What should be the punishment for such negligence? This responsibility cannot be shirked!"

Someone, cancel the tea-picking activity and immediately send someone to inform the guests still staying in the tea garden to prevent any venomous snakes from lurking and harming them.

Furthermore, summon the Lord and Countess here so they can take a good look at this venomous snake and properly apologize to Madam Shang!

Song Yunyi's pupils contracted sharply, and she thought to herself, "It's over!"

If the guests find out, her father will be furious and won't let her and her mother off easily!

Shang Lingjun looked at Princess Shuyue in surprise; she never expected Princess Shuyue to speak up for her.

Why?

Princess Shuyue merely glanced at her indifferently and looked away without taking her seriously. If it weren't for Xie Yan'an's sake, she wouldn't have bothered with this woman at all.

Now that Lady Shang has married Xie Yan'an, she represents Xie Yan'an's reputation when she goes out. The Earl's Mansion has been so disrespectful, they must apologize!

Liang's mother nudged Shang Lingjun, who snapped out of her daze, rubbing her forehead as she felt a wave of dizziness.

Then, she closed her eyes and fainted.

"Madam! Our lady has been frightened and fainted..."

Liang's mother reacted quickly.

Princess Shuyue's eyes widened as the scene descended into chaos.

Are you kidding me? A nobleman and noblewoman coming to apologize to her? Can she accept that?

It's best to pretend to faint and escape!
