ingzhi"The portly old man looked more surprised than she was. "Know each other How could I not know you""Where did you get this thing"Lingzhi mushrooms grow underground and have extremely harsh growin...When Lady Wen saw that the person across from her had noticed, she quickly covered her mouth and pretended to have made a slip of the tongue.

"A lady of refinement should not speak of such matters."

"How are we going to let Prince Jing know about the misunderstanding The consequences aren't something we can handle. Let's just sit down in our designated area and talk it through."

Mrs. Xing immediately nodded, her face beaming with excitement.

Mrs. Wen is just too kind-hearted. A woman like Fang Jinshu, who is as fickle as water, dares to openly appear at the Jingwang Mansion with her lover, and she's not afraid of what others will say

It's baffling how the Prince Jing, blind as he is, would even set his eyes on her.

After entering the palace, Madam Wen took her daughter to give birthday presents to the young master. Madam Xingzhi pulled a few close sisters and quietly came to the garden in the back courtyard, searching for Fang Jinshi's whereabouts along the way.

No matter what, she would have her revenge for the humiliation she suffered at the door just now.

After a while, they saw Fang Jinshu chatting with someone inside a pavilion and drinking tea. The cold-faced guard with the scar on his face was standing beside her, never leaving her side.

A few people quietly hid aside observing.

"Look at her, all seductive and sly. That guard's eyes are practically glued to her."

Originally, the other ladies hadn't paid attention to this at all.

Upon hearing this from Madam Xingzhi, they instantly noticed Zong Yu's gaze towards Fang Jinshi. It was indeed not the way a guard should look at their master.

Moreover, most of the female guests here followed their masters with maids and servant girls. Fang Jinxiu actually openly brought a male bodyguard with her, flaunting herself in the market.

"If you tell me they don't have anything going on, I wouldn't believe it even if you killed me!"

Others nodded in agreement.

“What Lady Xingzhi said is right, this Jinxiu's guts are too big. She actually dares to bring her lover to the birthday banquet of the young master. If King Jing finds out about this, she won't be able to marry into the mansion, let alone keep her life.”

When Mrs. Xing heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise in delight.

"That's what she deserves! To dare to give the Royal Prince a green hat, she should wait to die without a whole corpse."

"Madam Xingzhi, what are you going to do You wouldn't go before King Jing and expose her, would you"

Mrs. Xingzhi indeed had this plan.

"What do you mean by that Are you going to just stand there and watch the King be humiliated like this"

"But we have no evidence, and since she dared to bring someone here to the Jingwang Mansion so openly, wouldn't the Wangye know"

"Since the lord didn't intervene, it means this woman is very cunning. She must have prepared a good story to tell before the lord."

"If we openly expose her, what if the Prince doesn't believe us and then punishes us for slander and defamation of the future concubine Wouldn't that be a loss"

Others nodded in agreement.

"That's right, as the saying goes, when catching a thief you need dirt, and when catching an adulterer you need two witnesses. Without evidence, we shouldn't meddle in this."

When Lady X heard this, she was immediately furious.

"You lot, after all that talk, aren't you just afraid of getting implicated yourselves"

"I don't believe it, this Fang Jinshu could be so capable, even the prince could be deceived by her!"

She stormed off after saying that, leaving Lady Xinzhi feeling uncomfortable. She had finally found a way to get back at Fang but couldn't use it. It was simply too frustrating.

A maidservant from the manor came up and filled her with wine, looking at the wine glass in front of her. Suddenly, Madam Xingzhi felt joy in her heart and thought of a good idea.

If there's no evidence, then she should just let everyone see the evidence with their own eyes.

She suddenly stood up and left the table.

Over there, Fang Jinshi was having a headache dealing with Zong Yu's attentive serving of dishes in public.

Many people had cast strange, probing glances her way. She and the Prince of Jing hadn't officially explained their relationship, so in their eyes she still held the title of prospective concubine to the Jing Wangfu.

But suddenly a tall stranger appeared beside her, showering her with attention. She couldn't help but think about it all night, wondering what his motives were.

"Zongyu, enough!"

If you don't want to be a bodyguard anymore, go find King Jing and ask him to change your identity so you can appear at the banquet.

Zongyu didn't pay any attention to the gazes around him. His wife had just defended him at the door, and he was overjoyed. His heart swelled with warmth. At this moment, he only wanted to do something to let his wife feel his happiness.

"Don't mind them, my lady. You only had a vegetarian bun this morning, you must be hungry now."

"Come, eat all of this."

"Just tell me what else you want, don't be shy."

Fan Jinshi looked at the table piled high with dishes, her temples twitching faintly.

“Okay, if you're not leaving, I will!”tunned when she heard the news."The old lady doesn't disapprove of our marriage, she just..."She never expected the old lady to speak up for her."Don't you think Old Madam won't interfere anymore"Jin...
