The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Chu Wanqing stood at the entrance of the warm pavilion, listening to the unbearable sounds coming from inside. Her face turned ashen, and she trembled all over.

She turned abruptly to the maid who had led the way: "You just said my daughter Yun Jin was in here? You saw it with your own eyes?"

The maidservant lowered her head, looking visibly shaken: "I saw Miss Yun enter this warm room with my own eyes, and then... then a man went in too..."

"Nonsense!" Chu Wanqing interrupted her sharply, her chest heaving. She took a deep breath, turned to the Princess, and said with unwavering conviction, "Princess, the person inside is definitely not my daughter. I dare to ask that Your Highness move aside and not let such a thing offend your eyes."

The eldest princess frowned but remained silent.

A lady in a royal blue dress covered her mouth and chuckled sarcastically, "Madam Yun, why are you in such a hurry to leave? If it's your adopted daughter from the countryside, just open the door and you'll know. Stopping me like this makes you seem guilty."

Another lady chimed in, "Yes, if she really isn't your daughter, it wouldn't hurt to see her. But if she really is... Madam Yun, your newly adopted daughter is truly 'unusual' indeed."

Several noble ladies covered their mouths, their shoulders trembling slightly, not daring to laugh out loud.

Chu Wanqing turned her head, her gaze sweeping over the ladies like a knife, and said, word by word, "You didn't see anyone, so what makes you think the person inside is my daughter? Based on a few words from a maid? You think whatever she says is true?"

The maid shrank back, but still forced herself to say, "Madam, I really saw Miss Yun enter this warm room. Later, a man went in too, and then... I heard a commotion inside, so I ran to report it. I dare not lie."

Chu Wanqing gritted her teeth, looked at the Princess, and said in a pleading tone, appearing somewhat devastated: "Princess, my daughter Yunjin isn't in there. Let's... leave. After all, it's your birthday, and such sordid matters shouldn't be seen by you."

The eldest princess glanced at her and said calmly, "Madam Yun, since the maid said your daughter entered this warm pavilion, you should at least find out for sure. What if it really is her? If you leave, wouldn't things become even more complicated?"

A lady dressed in a deep purple robe approached and tugged at Chu Wanqing's sleeve. On the surface, she was trying to comfort her, but her tone carried a hint of schadenfreude: "Madam Yun, don't be anxious. If it really isn't your daughter, we'll be relieved once we see for ourselves. Your obstruction only makes people think you're guilty."

Chu Wanqing was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead, and her voice trembled slightly: "My daughter is innocent, what do I have to be guilty of? It's just that...the people inside are doing such a shameful thing. If so many of us barge in, what will people say?"

As she spoke, she turned to the Princess, "Princess, today is your birthday. It's not good for you to have this kind of incident. Why don't we just let it go and treat it as a misunderstanding, and have someone kick those two people out?"

The eldest princess glanced at her but did not answer immediately.

Ya Min stood to the side, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with smugness.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer, gently tugged at the princess's sleeve, and whispered, "Mother, since Madam Yun has said so, let's give her face and pretend that it's not Miss Yun the Second in here..."

The princess glared at her, and Ya Min quickly shut her mouth, but she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.

Standing in the crowd, Xiao Ya sarcastically remarked, "Those from the countryside are indeed different. So eager? They can't even wait at the Princess's residence."

Several noble ladies covered their mouths and chuckled softly.

Chu Wanqing abruptly turned to look at Xiao Ya, her gaze sharp as a knife: "Miss Xiao, watch your mouth. Did you see with your own eyes that the person inside is my daughter?"

Xiao Ya took a step back, feeling awkward, and said, "I...I only heard it from the maid..."

Chu Wanqing sneered and ignored her. Instead, she turned to the Princess, her eyes slightly red, as if she had suffered a great injustice, or as if she was desperately trying to restrain herself.

The princess remained silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and gave a wink to the nanny beside her.

The old woman understood and went forward to push the door, but it was locked from the inside. She pushed it several times, but it didn't budge.

The old woman patted the door a few times and raised her voice, "Open the door, you inside!"

Chu Wanqing rushed forward, blocking the doorway, her voice urgent: "Your Highness, it's not Jin'er! It really isn't! Let's go, don't look!"

A lady stepped forward and took her arm, smiling as she said, "Madam Yun, since it's not your daughter, why are you in such a hurry? Everyone will be relieved once they see. Your obstruction is making people uneasy."

Another lady chimed in, "Yes, Madam Yun, don't stop us. Something like this has happened at the Princess's residence; it needs to be investigated thoroughly. If it really is your daughter, you can't stop it anyway; if it isn't, investigating will clear your daughter's name."

The ladies chimed in with their own words, seemingly offering advice, but their words betrayed a hint of schadenfreude.

Chu Wanqing was being held back by them, unable to break free. She was sweating profusely, her voice filled with panic: "What...what are you doing? I told you it wasn't Jin'er, why don't you believe me?"

Standing to the side, Ya Min looked at Chu Wanqing's anxious expression and couldn't help but speak up again, "Madam Yun, please don't worry. If it really is Miss Yun the Second, we won't laugh at her. After all, she comes from the countryside and it's understandable that she doesn't know the rules."

Yunxiu followed, tugging at Chu Wanqing's sleeve, her tone tinged with schadenfreude: "Mother, don't worry. Second sister... she must have her reasons..."

Chu Wanqing abruptly shook off her hand and said sternly, "Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! It's not Jin'er!"

Yunxiu was startled, took a step back, lowered her head, and dared not say anything more, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

The eldest princess frowned, and finally spoke: "Break down the door."

The two old women stepped forward and rammed the door twice with all their might, and it finally opened with a "bang".

An ambiguous smell wafted through the room, a mixture of sweat and an indescribable odor.

Several unmarried young ladies from prominent families blushed immediately and turned away, covering their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.

Although the ladies were worldly-wise, they were still somewhat embarrassed, their eyes darting around, unsure of where to look.

The scene inside the house was appalling...

The woman's hair was soaked with sweat, completely covering her face.

The man had his back to everyone, so it was impossible to tell who he was.

Most importantly, they were so engrossed in their own world that they didn't seem to notice any of the many people coming in.
