I just got divorced, and this cold, ruthless, and powerful minister is begging for a third child eve

His face turned pale instantly.

Inside the woodshed, the man's heavy breathing mingled with the woman's panting.

The people inside heard nothing from the outside, which shows how intense the situation was.

Song Linyuan's chest heaved as he gasped for breath.

Following behind him, Meng suppressed the triumphant glint in her eyes and called out urgently:

"Oh dear! This...this is terrible! This is a sacred Buddhist sanctuary!"

She stomped her foot heavily, so angry she almost fell backward, and rushed forward to pound on the door of the woodshed.

"Gu Shi! It's one thing for you to have wronged Yuan'er, but you shouldn't have done it here! Where do you think you've put the faces of our Song family ancestors?!"

"No wonder you were so determined to take the money and divorce our Yuan'er; it turns out you had designs on someone else!"

"Our Ningyuan Marquis's mansion has treated you very well! Yuan'er knelt for two whole nights to marry you back then!"

Meng's shout startled everyone around, and immediately all the people holding torches surrounded her, pointing and gesturing at the woodshed.

You could tell what was happening inside just from the sound.

Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon such a scene late at night, and everyone around gathered around.

The entrance to the woodshed was instantly illuminated as bright as day by torches.

Hearing the murmurs behind him, Song Linyuan's face flushed red and then turned pale.

Thinking of Gu Mingshuang's resistance to him and her resolute determination to leave.

She was having an affair with another man!

Seeing Song Linyuan's face turn red and his fingers clenched as he stood there, Meng couldn't help herself and pushed the door open.

In the torchlight, one could immediately see clothes scattered beside the haystack.

The man in the monk's robes, his clothes disheveled, hurriedly got off the woman, knelt down, and cried out:

"My love for the Crown Princess is genuine! I beg the Crown Prince and his wife to grant us this wish!"

He blocked most of it, but he could still see that the woman was completely naked, with her long hair covering most of her face.

"Gu Shi! How could you truly betray Yuan'er! What a disgrace to our family!"

Meng cried out in anguish.

The crowd at the door shouted:

"I've never seen such a shameless woman!"

"Exactly! Doing this kind of thing in a sacred Buddhist sanctuary is utterly shameful!"

"The prince knelt in the ancestral hall for two nights to marry her, only to find out she was such a despicable person!"

……

Curses continued to ring in his ears. Song Linyuan stood at the door, his face ashen, and slammed his fist against the wall.

"Bring her out!"

Meng and the old woman beside her cried out:

"Quickly, bring the Crown Princess out! This Buddhist sanctuary must not be defiled!"

The two old women rushed in, but the next moment, screams rang out.

"what!"

Hearing the woman's scream, the people outside pointed and whispered with disdain.

"She still has the nerve to shout! She's going to bring shame to the Marquis's mansion!"

"If I were her, I'd just kill myself!"

……

Meng wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, while the surrounding curses intensified, with many demanding that the two beastly men and women be drowned in a pig cage!

Meng pulled Song Linyuan aside and persuaded him:

"Yuan'er, don't be sad, perhaps there's some misunderstanding..."

Song Linyuan clenched his fingers and said angrily:

"A misunderstanding? So many people saw this, and it's still a misunderstanding?! Mother, you're right, I shouldn't have married her at all!"

"She's a despicable slut, I'll divorce her and never let her disgrace the Song family again..."

However, just then, a clear voice came from behind the crowd.

"What happened?"

Upon hearing this sound, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the room.

The maids and servants of the Marquis's mansion were the first to react.

Isn't that the Crown Princess's voice?

"Isn't this the Crown Princess?!"

The crowd immediately turned around and saw Gu Mingshuang, dressed in her best, walking closer.

Song Linyuan rushed forward and grabbed Gu Mingshuang, as if to confirm whether the person in front of him was really her.

"Mingshuang, it really is you! You weren't in the woodshed?"

He felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Very good."

Gu Mingshuang glanced suspiciously at the woodshed behind her.

"The woodshed? I came to Hakuryu-ji Temple to pay respects to my father. What would I be doing in a place like the woodshed?"

At this moment, everyone realized that the person in the woodshed was not the Heir Apparent's wife of the Marquis of Ningyuan's residence at all.

However, Meng Shi, standing to the side, looked as if she had seen a ghost and pointed at Gu Mingshuang.

"You...you...how did you get here?!"

She recalled the sounds coming from the woodshed; there was clearly a woman inside!

Wait, why didn't those two old women make a sound after they went in?!

Suddenly, a thought that I dared not think about in detail popped into my head.

Meng looked at the woodshed in horror.

At this moment, a cool breeze blew in, and the woman in the woodshed also woke up.

Song Lanfang immediately saw the dimly lit room, where two old women stared at her in terror.

She was about to start cursing when she realized something was wrong beneath her. It wasn't her bed, but a rough pile of straw!

She lowered her head in horror, and only then, by the light filtering in from outside, did she realize that she was completely naked!

She was no longer a young lady confined to her chambers, and the almost tearing pain below immediately made her realize what had happened!

"what!"

She deliberately spent money to find a man with a terrible disease! The person lying here should clearly be Gu Mingshuang!

Why did it turn out to be her!

When Meng rushed in and saw this scene, she almost fainted.

The person inside was actually her daughter, Song Lanfang!

She bumped into the door frame, quickly blocked the doorway, and shouted urgently outside:

"Yuan'er! Now that we've found Ming Shuang, and there's nothing else, let everyone go!"

Song Linyuan looked at the woodshed with suspicion, not understanding why his mother would say such a thing.

Before Song Linyuan could speak, Gu Mingshuang immediately shouted:

"Mother-in-law! What's wrong?! Has something happened?"

Her shout immediately drew the crowd of onlookers to rush inside.

Upon seeing the woman hurriedly putting on her clothes inside, the crowd immediately shouted:

"Whose woman is this? So promiscuous! She almost ruined the reputation of the Marquis's heir's wife!"

"Exactly! Doing this kind of thing in a temple, let's see who they really are!"

……

Song Lanfang hurriedly covered her face with her clothes and hid helplessly behind Meng.

Meng stood in front of them.

"This...this is just a maid! I can't believe she dared to do such a thing here. I'll sell her off when I get back!"

However, at that moment, Gu Mingshuang suddenly shouted:

"How did my sister-in-law's jade pendant end up here?"

She grabbed Song Lanfang, who was trying to run away, and slapped her across the face.

"You wretched maid! Did you steal something from your mistress?!"

The slap caused Song Lanfang's clothes to fall to the ground.

Those with sharp eyes immediately shouted it out.

"Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Song family, or the second young mistress of the Earl's mansion?"

Instantly, torches surrounded them.

"It really is her!"

Song Lanfang was dragged out disheveled, and Meng Shi fainted completely.

Song Linyuan immediately had his mother carried back to her room. Then, he stared wide-eyed at his elder sister, who was having an affair, and trembled with anger.

"Eldest sister! Mother brought you here today specifically to pray for an heir! How could you... how could you do such a thing behind everyone's back!"

"How can you face your mother and brother-in-law?!"

Song Lanfang, her eyes bloodshot, pointed at Gu Mingshuang and shouted hysterically:

"I was framed! Don't you understand yet? This bitch killed me! It was her!"

Song Linyuan turned to look at Gu Mingshuang in surprise.

He had heard about the underhanded tactics used by the inner quarters after arriving in Kyoto; such despicable schemes were not unheard of.

Could it really have been Gu Mingshuang who did it?

Gu Mingshuang frowned and lowered her head.

"If saying this makes you feel any better, then I'll do it."

Immediately, everyone glared angrily at Song Lanfang.

"Have you no shame? You've already done this, and now you're trying to smear others!"

Song Lanfang grabbed a shard of broken porcelain from the ground and charged at Gu Mingshuang like a madwoman.

"Why aren't you inside! Why is it me? Gu Mingshuang! Are you trying to harm me on purpose? I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Song Linyuan stood protectively beside Gu Mingshuang, blocking the porcelain shards from Song Lanfang's hands.

Suddenly, a shard of porcelain shattered and hit his arm.

Song Linyuan tightly protected Gu Mingshuang in front of him, clutching his arm and letting out a muffled groan of pain.

Song Lanfang was held down by the old woman and quickly escorted back to her room.

Soon, the crowd was dispersed.

Song Linyuan, disregarding the bandaging of his wounds, looked at Gu Mingshuang and asked gently:

"Mingshuang, don't be afraid, I'm here..."

At this moment, Song Lanfang, who had been forcibly taken away, glared with bloodshot eyes and shouted sharply:

"Song Linyuan! How could you be so stupid! You're still protecting this poisonous woman!"

"I schemed against her, I drugged her! But she schemed against us all! She wants to ruin my reputation!"

"She's a vicious and wicked woman! She'll ruin the Song family sooner or later! She'll ruin you too!"

Soon, Song Lanfang was taken away.

Song Linyuan looked at Gu Mingshuang in front of him under the moonlight.

Only then did he notice that Gu Mingshuang had changed her clothes and even her hairstyle.

Song Lanfang's words echoed in his mind.

Did Gu Mingshuang really think of such a vicious way to retaliate the moment she was being schemed against?

If she really fell for his scheme first, why didn't she confront him instead of pushing things to the extreme?

Harming the eldest sister is also harming the Song family!

His expression darkened.

"Mingshuang, you...why did you change your clothes? So, what my elder sister said is true? You really..."

Gu Mingshuang raised her eyes and calmly spoke:

"I just got my clothes wet in Madam Qin's courtyard. These are new clothes that she gave me. Many people can testify to this. If you don't believe me, Your Highness, you can report it to the authorities."

Looking into Gu Mingshuang's calm eyes, Song Linyuan understood everything. It must have been his elder sister's scheme against Gu Mingshuang, and this was Gu Mingshuang's counterattack!

He pursed his lips, unable to contain his anger, and said in a deep voice:

"Gu Mingshuang! Eldest sister is wrong, but you clearly had many other options! Why did you do this?!"

"Now your elder sister's reputation is completely ruined! With so many people here today, this can't be contained! Do you hate the Marquis's mansion that much?!"

Gu Mingshuang's eyes remained calm; she simply looked away and asked:

"If what my elder sister said is true, and I was the one who was framed in the woodshed, what would the young master do?"

Song Linyuan suddenly stopped.

He had just thought the person in the woodshed was her. He had considered divorcing her and even thought about killing her!

His face grew paler and paler.

Gu Mingshuang didn't wait for his response and turned to leave.

"I'm tired, I'm going back to my room."

Looking at her slender figure, Song Linyuan suddenly asked urgently:

"Ming Shuang, how did you take the medicine?! Did you...?"

Gu Mingshuang didn't stop and left directly.

Go back inside the house.

Gu Mingshuang closed the door, unable to hold on any longer.

Just as she was about to fall, a pair of strong arms caught her.

Falling into his arms once more, Gu Mingshuang blushed and tried to get down.

Qin Mo's serious voice rang in her ear.

"Don't forget, you only took one pill to suppress it; the effects of the medication haven't completely worn off yet..."

Gu Mingshuang's mind went blank as she recalled what had just happened on the grass. She said hesitantly:

"My lord, I... I can hold on..."

Before she could finish speaking, she felt the man's presence pressing down on her.

The heat that had just been barely suppressed by the medication returned once again.

Having been forcibly suppressed once, this time it came even more fiercely.

In an instant, her legs went weak and she could only cling to him, her hands wrapped around his neck to keep herself from collapsing.

In the struggle, she somehow managed to grab the man's belt.

She clung to him like this, her hands clutching the belt that had been torn off, Gu Mingshuang blushing with embarrassment.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me... I didn't mean it... Could you please let me go...?"

"Still being stubborn?" Qin Mo interrupted her with a hoarse voice.

"Do you want to stay here? Or in bed?"
