The yandere is too beautiful; the fake heiress sneaks kisses through the window every day.

Thus, the banquet ended with everyone harboring their own ulterior motives.

Shen Ji watched the farce unfolding below, waved for Tingfeng to step forward, and said coldly, "I don't want to see the Xu family and the Wu family again."

"Yes." Tingfeng nodded, then asked, "What about the Lu family?"

Shen Ji turned his head to look at the departing figure of someone, "Someone is taking care of the Lu family."

Watching Lu Wu's retreating figure, radiating coldness, Tingfeng said nothing more.

Having finally shaken off those with ulterior motives, Jiang Yu finally found an opportunity to sneak upstairs to find the Empress, but when she opened the door to the lounge, the Empress was not inside.

She turned to go out and search, but unexpectedly bumped into a familiar embrace.

She looked up, her eyes lighting up, and grabbed Shen Ji's hand, asking, "Empress, where have you been?"

"Little darling, do you want to watch a show?" Shen Ji leaned closer, a mischievous smile flashing in his eyes, asking instead of answering.

Jiang Yu, looking bewildered, was led by Shen Ji to the rest area prepared for the guests. When they arrived, there was already a large crowd gathered there, and screams and cries could be heard coming from inside.

This scene even piqued the Empress's curiosity, making her want to see it for herself.

She pulled Shen Ji and kept squeezing inside until they finally reached the very back. When they saw the scene of catching someone cheating in the room, she exclaimed, "Wow!"

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the person in question was an acquaintance.

Wu Nana was caught in the act by her fiancé while she and Huang Mao were lying naked on the bed. Enraged, her fiancé beat Huang Mao and threatened to cancel the engagement. She was pleading desperately for forgiveness.

Jiang Yu was engrossed in watching when her eyes were suddenly covered.

"Don't look, it's dirty." Shen Ji wrapped his arms around the little girl from behind, covering her eyes and coldly looking at the blond man who was barely clothed.

Jiang Yu wanted to continue watching, but the Empress wouldn't allow it. She was only taken out of that filthy room when the hand covering her eyes was released.

"I only had someone take her away, how did she end up sleeping with that man?" Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.

"She found the person, she administered the drug, so she should bear the consequences herself." Shen Ji stared into Jiang Yu's eyes and said, word by word, "Little darling, this is called reaping what you sow."

Jiang Yu stared into Shen Ji's beautiful eyes, blinked, and said, "Oh."

The little rabbit was too soft-hearted. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. Letting them go will only bring about greater retribution.

But it doesn't matter, if she doesn't want to do it, then he will.

He had crawled out of hell himself, and his karma was so heavy that he wouldn't mind having a little more for her.

As Jiang Yu walked hand in hand with Shen Ji through the corridor, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures in the garden downstairs. Curious, she tilted her head to look but saw nothing.

Strange, she thought she just saw Jiang Mingyue and that bastard from the Lu family making out. Could she have been mistaken?

The puzzled Empress, not believing in superstition, leaned half her body out of the window to take a look.

Fearing the young girl might fall in her excitement, Shen Ji put his arm around her waist and looked at her puzzled behavior with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?"

Shh, I'm looking for a mouth.

Seeing the little girl peeking out, Shen Ji's lips twitched. He used his arm to pull the girl, who was halfway out of the window, back in and then turned her over to press her against the window.

Jiang Yu, who was inexplicably kissed at the window, blinked and then felt a soft kiss on her lips.

"Have you found it yet?" Shen Ji stared into her eyes with a smile, subtly seducing her.

The Empress was taken aback by the allure.

Shen Ji smiled and gave a few more light pecks, his innocence carrying a hint of subtle seduction, until he was pounced on by the "beastly" Empress.

With his prey taking the bait, Shen Ji secretly curled his lips into a smile.

The two kissed passionately upstairs, while the two hiding in the garden below the window also kissed intensely.

Jiang Mingyue bit Lu Wu's lower lip, and he released his grip in pain, staring intently at her.

"Are you crazy?" Jiang Mingyue cursed, wiping her lips.

This lunatic must have taken some kind of drug; he suddenly appeared, pulled her out, grabbed her, and started kissing her.

He's seriously insane, even more insane than Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: Huh? Me?

Lu Wu stared intently at the woman before him, his gaze deep and cold like a wolf that had shed its disguise. His deep voice carried an inexplicable danger as he asked, "Why did you agree?"

"What?" Jiang Mingyue frowned in confusion, cursing under her breath.

"Why did you agree to the marriage? Do you like that brat Lu Zhenxi?" Lu Wu's voice was cold, as if he would bite her neck the next second if she said yes.

Jiang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with a cold, mocking gaze, "I have no obligation to explain to you, do I?"

"No obligation?" Lu Wu sneered, gritting his teeth as he said, "I wonder who was the one who kept saying they liked me before."

"What, you're not satisfied with me, and now you've fallen for my nephew?"

Enraged by the other party's harsh words, Jiang Mingyue slapped him across the face. Her expression darkened as she glared at him and clenched her teeth to say, "Stop being so presumptuous. Who I like and who I marry is none of your business."

Lu Wu, who had just been slapped, stared at Jiang Mingyue's departing figure with a deep look in his eyes and said...

Even if he doesn't love you, will you still marry him?

Jiang Mingyue paused slightly as she left, then continued walking forward as usual without looking back.

Jiang Yu and Shen Ji returned home first. The two had already changed into their pajamas and were sitting on the sofa watching the news for quite a while when Jiang Mingyue finally came back.

"Young Miss, you're back." Wang Ma opened the door and greeted her warmly.

Jiang Mingyue nodded and slowly dragged her tired body upstairs.

"Why does the young lady look so listless? It must be because the food at the banquet was so bad that she's starving." The more Wang Ma thought about it, the more convinced she became. She rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen.

We are determined to make up for the few pounds the young lady lost today.

Then came the sound of ping-pong balls coming from the kitchen, mixed with Wang Ma's enthusiastic shouts.

"Let the blazing stove ignite!"

"Let the flames rage even fiercer!"

Even Jiang Yu, who was focused on reading the news, couldn't help but glance at it a couple of times.

Shen Ji, who was watching the news with Jiang Yu, was playing with her hair. Hearing the sound, he looked over, his handsome brows furrowing slightly as he turned to look at the fair and soft-skinned girl.

He seemed to understand why the little girl sometimes acted a bit crazy.

In the end, the late-night snack that Wang Ma had carefully prepared did not get into Jiang Mingyue's mouth. She left the room dejectedly with the snack in her hand, and as she turned around, she bumped into Jiang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time.

So half of the midnight snack ended up in Jiang Yu's stomach. Don't ask why it was only half; it was because the Empress was afraid she would have indigestion, so she was only allowed to eat half.

As it turned out, the Queen was wise.

Jiang Yu, who was woken up in the middle of the night, sat up, looked at the sleeping empress, hesitated for two seconds, and decided to let him go out and cause trouble for others because she felt sorry for the empress.

Then she groped her way into the next room in the dark, and by the moonlight, she found her way to the head of the bed and squatted down beside it, staring intently at the sleeping Jiang Mingyue.

(each one) stares~

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too noisy, Jiang Mingyue frowned in her sleep, and almost reflexively rolled over and got out of bed, her muscles tense as she looked warily at the bedside.

Caught off guard by the sight of a pair of glowing green eyes, she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat and she was about to draw her sword when she took a closer look and realized that the ghostly thing by the bed looked somewhat familiar.

"Jiang Yu?"

"Hmm~" It's me, Your Majesty!
