Xin Zhi was almost sucked in by those eyes and couldn't think of anything else. He quickly nodded and agreed: "That's okay! That's okay!"
He agreed with what Wu Liuyun said! Moreover, maybe Wu Sheyue gets it and Wu Liuyun is willing to do it... Hehe. Xin Zhi thought about it and felt that it was funny, because Liuyun just said how good he was, and today he was privately mooning at a banquet like the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so he should still have a chance!
Wu Liuyun had been obsessed with Xin Zhi for a long time, so he naturally understood that this man was daydreaming again. She raised her eyebrows coldly and smiled: "Since the Eighth Prince is sincere, Liu Yun... will definitely help you to the end. The Eighth Prince will wait for the news from Liu Yun."

While many ladies and gentlemen were busy putting out lanterns, Yu Jing was walking alone in the quiet and deserted imperial garden. He crossed the sea of flowers and came to the river. Just when he was about to get on the wooden bridge, he suddenly stopped.
He looked back at the dark night behind him and said, "Is something wrong, little girl?"
Wu Sheyue slowly walked out of the darkness. She didn't expect to be caught so soon, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Yu Jing looked at her and asked in a calm but gentle voice, "What's wrong?"
"I... want to change with you first." Wu Sheyue tried her best to keep a straight face, trying not to appear so passive.
At this time, several lights floated over from the river behind Yu Jing, slightly illuminating the surroundings. There was a smile in Yu Jing's eyes, "It's so fast, don't you have to think more about it?"
Wu Sheyue frowned and said angrily: "W-will you change it?"
"I want a batch." Yu Jing emphasized, one batch, not one.
However, Wu Sheyue immediately compromised, "Okay, just one batch, but it will take a long time. So..."
Yu Jing opened her fan to cover her thin lips, looked at her seriously with a pair of seductive eyes and said, "It doesn't matter, time is not a problem. I can help you with things first. You can mention as many items as you want."
Wu Sheyue raised her head and looked hard at Yu Jing, who was a head and a half taller than her. She sighed and said, "Okay then. Actually, I want to..."
She was about to speak when Yu Jing suddenly interrupted her and asked, "Are the things still there?"
"What - oh, yes." Wu Sheyue reacted for a moment before remembering that he was asking about the thing given by A Li.
"Tell A Li tonight." After Yu Jing finished speaking, he suddenly put away the folding fan and turned around to leave. As if there was something urgent, he didn't stop for a moment.
"Uh... Okay." Wu Sheyue watched Yu Jing go away. Until no one was in sight, she suddenly cursed angrily: "What the hell? I just agreed to cooperate, and his attitude changed." Is it okay? The boat of friendship can capsize at any time?!"
Standing a little further away, Ning'er slowly came over and asked cautiously: "Miss, is Ning'er exposed?"
Wu Sheyue felt bitter when she heard this, "It's okay, because... I'm not much better in this regard."
"Oh..." Ning'er scratched her head.
Wu Sheyue looked around and said, "Let's go directly to the palace gate."
Ning'er glanced at the lanterns in the river in front of her and suddenly asked: "Does the lady still put out the lanterns?"
Wu Sheyue waved her hands in boredom, "You can put it in whatever you want, it's all just to fool children. There are no gods in the world, so how can you put it in and succeed?"
"Oh..." Ning'er was a little disappointed after hearing this. The young lady actually said that there are no gods in the world.

The palace was too big, so the two of them had a hard time finding their way. Finally, they found the right way and arrived at the palace gate safely.
The moment she saw the carriage outside the palace gate, Wu Sheyue breathed a sigh of relief. This day was too thrilling. Now that she was out of the palace, she felt much more relaxed. It was finally over.
She thought she would just climb into the car and take a nap, and when she woke up, she would find herself at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This was the first time that she wanted to return to the Xiangfu home so quickly.
Because Wu Sheyue came out too early, there was no one else nearby except the waiting coachman and the guards at the palace gate.
Wu Sheyue pulled Ning'er over. She held Ning'er's hand and was about to get into the car when a timid voice suddenly came from behind: "Third, third sister..."
Wu Sheyue turned around in surprise and saw a thin figure standing in the darkness between the two carriages. At first glance, it looked like a ghost. Ning'er was so scared that she covered her mouth and almost screamed.
"Yin'er?" Wu Sheyue narrowed her eyes and looked at her carefully.
The man walked out of the darkness, and it turned out to be Wu Yin'er. Her eyes were red but there were no tears, her cheeks were swollen, and the corners of her mouth were bruised, as if someone had slapped her with an iron glove, and the scars were terrible.
Ning'er's eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Fifth, fifth lady?!"
Wu Yin'er looked at Wu Sheyue and said vaguely: "Third sister, I have something to tell you."
Wu Sheyue suddenly felt cautious. She hesitated, but even though there was no one around, she took back her steps to get into the car and came to Wu Yin'er. She looked at Wu Yin'er's face carefully and said, "What's wrong with your... face? Where is the Blue Man?"
Wu Yin'er blinked. She didn't seem to know how to open her mouth. She just raised her hand to slightly cover the scar on her cheek.
Wu Sheyue asked again, "Who hit you?"
But Wu Yin'er still didn't seem to want to say anything. She was evasive, with a trace of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.
Wu Sheyue looked at her up and down. In addition to the injury to her cheek, her clothes were also a little disheveled and there were traces of dust. She was very embarrassed. So she asked suspiciously: "Is the person who hit you a member of our family?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yin'er shook her head in panic and said, "No, no, third sister, please stop guessing."
Wu Sheyue asked with great suspicion: "Then what are you going to say to me?"
Seeing that Wu Sheyue was impatient, Wu Yin'er gritted her teeth and said, "I just want to ask, is the third sister... very close to the young prince?"
At the mention of Yu Jing, Wu Sheyue suddenly raised her eyebrows and scolded her sternly, "What do you mean!"
There are too many secrets in her body. If others knew about it, she would definitely be put in a very dangerous situation. So cooperating with Yu Jing was a decision she made after careful consideration and comparing the pros and cons.
But why did Wu Yin'er ask that? Did she discover their relationship? It shouldn't be... How could it be so fast!
Wu Yin'er was frightened and took a step back in panic, "Sister, don't get me wrong, I, I don't mean anything else, I just hope you don't pay attention to the young prince anymore! He, he..."
Wu Sheyue narrowed her eyes, stepped closer to Wu Yin'er, and warned her dangerously, "Who do I associate with, and what does it have to do with you?"
Wu Yin'er stepped back step by step, and she finally said loudly as if she was brave: "What the young prince is doing may not be good for my sister. To be honest, I followed the young prince for a while today, and I also saw my sister and the young prince. We had a private meeting! Because I was afraid of being discovered by him, I only dared to take a sneak peek from a distance. He is really, he is so scary!"
"You—" Wu Sheyue was stunned and speechless when she heard Wu Yin'er admitting that she had followed Yu Jing.
Wu Yin'er said sincerely and anxiously: "The young prince's methods are different from those of us boudoir girls. I'm afraid that someone will die if he makes a move. Although my sister looks indifferent and doesn't want to get close to others, Yin'er doesn't want the third sister to be raped by the little one. The prince was killed!”
"What did you see?" Wu Sheyue looked at the extremely excited Wu Yin'er, and she really had a little doubt in her heart.
The scars on Wu Yin'er's face must have been left with great force. As for the hands of Wu Liuyun and the other women, no matter how cruel they were, they could only break the skin on the corners of Wu Yin'er's mouth.
At this time, more people came over from the palace gate. The young ladies talked and laughed as they walked towards their carriages. Wu Yin'er lowered her head and whispered: "Third sister, please, Suan Yin'er, please think about it carefully."
With that said, she covered her face and turned around and ran to get in the car.
Wu Sheyue turned around and looked around. It seemed that many men and women were chatting happily at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. At that moment, Wu Sheyue felt that her surroundings were in a trance, as if she was in another world.
Ning'er said worriedly: "Miss..."
Wu Sheyue frowned and asked her, "Do you think Wu Yin'er's words are somewhat true?"
"Ning'er doesn't understand either." The fifth lady has always been weak and pitiful, and she is also the most kind-hearted in the house, so she should not tell lies. Moreover, the young prince has repeatedly sought out the third lady of her family, and he doesn’t know why. In this comparison, the young prince is probably more suspicious.
But Ning'er just couldn't say these words, subconsciously she still felt that something was missing. Anyway, my lady will have reasonable judgment.
"Let's go, get in the car." Wu Sheyue had already seen Wu Lixiang and the others coming this way. Anyway, you still have to look at everything yourself, and it doesn't matter who says it.

Wu Hantian walked out together with a group of bureaucrats and family members. Because Wu Hantian held a high position and his two daughters were the most outstanding women in Longfu, many people gathered around Wu Hantian to flatter him.
But these people were happy to be photographed, but little did they know that Wu Hantian was not feeling comfortable at all...
Along the way, Xiao Du, the cabinet bachelor, kept praising, "Congratulations to the witch prime minister and his wife. Although they lost a little money, isn't the daughter they saved more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold?"
Another official surnamed Lin also nodded repeatedly, "It's really enviable. I heard that all the prime minister's sons have become disciples of Taoist Yunshan, and now I see that all the daughters are so beautiful."
"That sacred deer picture is really amazing! We would never have imagined that it could be painted with luminous pearls ground into pieces. It seems that the prime minister's descendants are all outstanding. Why can't we share in such a good thing?"
Listening to everyone's agreement, Wu Hantian smiled stiffly and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Jiang Qingxue cursed in her heart, how could that bitch Wu Sheyue deserve to be equal to her daughter? But I was cursing in my heart but I couldn't say it out loud. It was really uncomfortable.
And Ning Shuang was also holding her arm beside him. The more Ning Shuang knew the rules, the more annoyed she became. Isn't this uncomfortable and uncomfortable! (To be continued)
