At the time of the dinner, Fu Guiyun led the siblings Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu out of Chuxian Palace.

Although she got a lot of toys, Lu Qingchen saw that the Crown Prince's Consort was depressed the whole afternoon and had no mood to play. She was as absent-minded as she was.

As they walked along the road, he suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Why is mother unhappy after coming out of the Queen Grandmother's palace?"

Fu Guiyun thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's tired."

Lu Qingyu hurriedly tugged at the cloak she was wearing, his face full of concern.

"It's nothing serious."

Fu Guiyun smiled and picked her up: "After the banquet, we can go back to the palace and have a good sleep."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyu nodded slightly.

As soon as the group arrived at the door of the dining hall, they bumped into Ye Zhan and Ye Qiong, brother and sister. After greeting each other, Ye Qiong walked straight into the dining hall with a sullen face without saying a word to Fu Guiyun.

Ye Zhan explained with an embarrassed look on his face: "I think she was scolded by her father at home, and she is still angry. Cousin, please don't take it to heart."

Fu Guiyun guessed that the girl was angry with him because her marriage with Lu Linzhi had lost hope, so he didn't say much.

Lu Linchu came over and saw this scene. He angrily scolded her, "You are so irritable all day long. You don't look like a lady at all. There is no point in being angry."

After saying that, he picked up Lu Qingchen and motioned Fu Guiyun to go into the dining hall together.

The entire dinner was dull. Apart from Lu Chen forcing a few smiles, Lu Linchu looked absent-minded the entire time, and the mother-in-law's expression was even more gloomy.

It was not difficult to guess what the prince was thinking. Fu Guiyun guessed that he had found tenderness from Han Nian and was savoring it.

When she looked at her mother-in-law again, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Ye Qiong, who also had a sullen face.

I think that after I left Changchun Palace, that girl must have gone to my mother-in-law and made a big scene, which was very unpleasant.

As expected, the aunt and niece had a secret quarrel during the meal, and Ye Qiong felt aggrieved and depressed so she just said goodbye and left.

I was walking aimlessly alone in the dimly lit palace. I didn't know how long I had been walking when I suddenly heard a murmur.

Ye Qiong looked up and saw two figures sneaking around under the wall in the distance, carrying a person and trying to climb out.

"Where did this thief come from to steal from the palace?"

She walked forward angrily and pulled the man down from the wall.

Holding up the lanterns, several people looked at each other in bewilderment. The person who fell got up and was the first to exclaim, "Miss Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Qiong took a closer look and didn't look happy: "Aunt Han, what are you talking about?"

Han Nian glanced at Chu Huaixi and Han You who were holding lanterns in front of him, not knowing how to explain.

Ye Qiong immediately guessed the reason and frowned, "You don't want to sneak out, do you?"

"Nothing like that. Nothing like that."

Han Nian pretended to be calm, pulled her back and said, "You can't talk nonsense in front of the princess and the prince."

"It's okay not to say anything."

Ye Qiong snorted coldly: "I want to find someone to drink with me, you accompany me."

Han Nian gritted his teeth. He had finally caught the opportunity to slip out, but was spotted by the eldest lady of the Ye family. He could only nod and said, "Okay, I happen to have hidden a few jars of good wine from home in my courtyard. I will accompany the eldest lady to get drunk tonight."

Only then was Ye Qiong satisfied: "This is pretty good."

After returning to Shuhua Garden, Chu Huaixi prepared some hot dishes, and Han Nian took out his collection of liquor and started drinking with Ye Qiong perfunctorily.

When Ye Qiong was a little tipsy, he suddenly asked her, "My cousin won't come to your courtyard tonight, will he?"

Han Nian naturally didn't want her to disturb him and the prince, but he was afraid that she would go and complain, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "The prince has a lot of things to do tonight, so he should go back to Muxiangzhai."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Ye Qiong nodded dazedly: "I heard that your cousin treats you very well, unlike that bastard Lu Linzhi."

"Fourth Young Master?"

Han Nian, Chu Huaixi, and Han You were all stunned at the same time: "The fourth young master is not at home, how did he provoke the eldest young lady?"

Ye Qiong pondered, drinking one cup after another, and after a long time, she continued to talk to herself: "My aunt clearly agreed to our marriage, but he refused to marry me. He is a fickle man."

The three were stunned again: "Miss, what are you talking about? The Fourth Young Master has always been a clean man. I have never heard of him having any relationship with any woman."

"Of course you don't know, because the person he likes is someone he dare not even dream of."

Ye Qiong slammed the wine glass on the table angrily: "The person he likes is my cousin's wife, the prince's consort of the palace."

Han Nian and Han You were completely shocked. Chu Huaixi sighed expressionlessly, "Miss, you can't say that."

"I didn't say that."

Ye Qiong snorted coldly, "You don't know yet, maybe? This Fourth Young Master Wen Run, who you are talking about, did something remarkable a few months ago. He secretly hid the couple of the Earl of Changping in Jiangzuo, and they are now in Lancheng."

"Mrs. Changping?"

Chu Huaixi knew these two people: "Isn't that the Song family that was exterminated for treason a few months ago? How dare the Fourth Young Master?"

"He doesn't dare to do so, but it would be a different matter if he was instigated by someone."

Ye Qiong drank another glass of wine angrily: "You may not know that the couple of the Lord Changping are old friends of my cousin's wife. If it wasn't for her, why would Brother Linzhi ask his friends in the Liren Gang to do such a bold thing? In Jiangzuo, besides him, who else can control the Liren Gang?"

"This is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan." Han Nian was terrified when he heard this.

Ye Qiong shook his head violently, and the smell of alcohol immediately dissipated a lot. He pointed at a few people and said with a smile: "So you are not allowed to tell anyone, unless you are not afraid of death."

After thinking for a while, she continued, "But it doesn't matter what you said. In this Jiangzuo area, it's not easy for even a fly to fly out."

After she finished speaking, the drunkenness came back and made her collapse on the table in discomfort.

The three of them looked at each other, feeling somewhat complicated.

Chu Huaixi thought about it secretly, and suddenly said: "Aunt Han feels aggrieved, if this is true, then this is a great opportunity for Aunt Han to overthrow the Crown Prince's Consort."

"You stupid thing."

Han Nian cursed disapprovingly, "Sending people from Yundu City to Jiangzuo quietly, and hiding them in Lancheng openly, if there is no instruction from the prince and princess, how could the Fourth Young Master and the Liren Gang do it alone."

"I'm afraid Aunt Han doesn't know much about the Liren Gang."

Chu Huaixi explained: "The prince is loyal to the court and will not do such a thing that will ruin his future."

Han Nian always felt that this matter was not that simple, and she never dared to forget the princess's warning.

It is no small matter to falsely accuse the Crown Prince's Consort. How can anyone be convinced by Ye Qiong's few drunken words? She must be making false accusations because she cannot get the love she wants.

Thinking about how Li Xue had her leg broken at the instigation of Chu Huaixi, she would not believe these words easily.

"I'm warning you two, if you don't want to live, you can go and die on your own, but don't try to drag me down with you."

After saying that, she lay down on the bed and lazily ordered, "Send Miss Ye back to the guest room. Don't let her get drunk and go crazy in my room."
