Chapter 137 is my unrequited love!
"Zhiyue, I was also deceived by Xiangning. She said that Song Ruozhen was already engaged to Young Master Xu, but was still entangled with the Prince of Chu."
I did this because I didn't want them to be manipulated by Song Ruozhen!
Qin Shuangshuang glared angrily at He Xiangning, "I didn't expect that everything you said before was a lie. What good does it do you to hurt me like this?"
He Xiangning was also terrified. What happened at the banquet last time had scared her so much that she didn't dare to go out for a while. Today, she specially brought Xu He'an to see Song Ruozhen's true colors.
Originally, she only needed to take a quick look from a short distance, but Qin Shuangshuang and the other two had already met the King of Chu when she arrived, which is why things developed to this point.
"How can you blame me? I was just saying that Miss Song and the King of Chu had a close relationship. Who am I to dare to catch them in the act?"
He Xiangning knelt down in fear, "Your Highness, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
Seeing that He Xiangning wanted to shift all the blame onto herself, Qin Shuangshuang was furious:
"It was clearly you who said you liked Young Master Xu, and that you were heartbroken after learning that Young Master Xu was getting engaged, and that Song Ruozhen was fickle."
While you were entangled with Young Master Xu, you were also seducing His Highness the Prince of Chu. That's why I helped you out of friendship. Now you want to shirk responsibility?
You wish!
"You don't need to make excuses. My daughter has nothing to do with you, no matter what. Who are you to tell me what to do?"
Liu Ruyan's face turned ashen. These two guys were clinging to Zhen'er like leeches, impossible to shake off!
Song Zhiyu snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous. You've been keeping an eye on my sister ever since she was engaged to Lin Zhiyue."
Now that you've finally married Lin Zhiyue, why are you still unwilling to give up? Could it be that now that he's fallen on hard times, you've started eyeing other men again?
Even if that were true, there are plenty of men in the entire capital. You don't need to focus solely on my sister. It's true what they say, other people's men always seem more appealing.
"You and your brother, no wonder you're siblings, you're exactly the same!"
Song Zhiyu was never one to mince words, and this last sentence undoubtedly struck a nerve with Qin Shuangshuang.
For a moment, the way others looked at Qin Shuangshuang also became strange.
The affair between Qin Xiangheng and Zhao Shuwan is common knowledge, and Qin Shuangshuang also schemed to steal Lin Zhiyue away, which is already a source of criticism.
Now that Song Ruozhen and Lin Zhiyue have no relationship anymore, Qin Shuangshuang is still eyeing her. Could it be that she really has this plan?
The King of Chu is far superior to Lin Zhiyue!
"I-I didn't!"
Qin Shuangshuang's face turned pale as she tried her best to refute the claims, but unfortunately, her explanations were not convincing at all.
"If you don't have one, then why are you staring at my sister? Whether she's engaged or not, and who she's engaged to, is none of your business."
Song Zhiyu's eyes were full of disgust. "So young, and you like being a nanny so much. Instead of spending your time catching your brother cheating, you should go and check on your older brother. Maybe all his friends have been cheated on, and then the Qin family's bloodline will be mixed up!"
Qin Shuangshuang's face turned pale and then green, and she could only look at Chu Junting.
"Your Highness, I was genuinely worried that you might be deceived by Song Ruozhen, which is why I kindly reminded you. I meant no harm!"
However, Chu Junting didn't even bother to give her a glance.
"Drag him away and slap him!"
The moment the words fell, Yunyang immediately stepped forward, ready to act, when Granny Yang, who was beside Liu Ruyan, immediately stepped forward and said:
"My lord, leave such a small matter to this old woman."
Yunyang looked at his master and, seeing that the prince did not object, replied, "Alright."
Seeing the old woman approaching her with a ferocious expression, Qin Shuangshuang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again!"
Granny Yang raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "If you know you're wrong, you should accept the punishment!"
"Snapped!"
Qin Shuangshuang's head was knocked to one side, and she said anxiously, "I was doing this for the prince!"
"Snapped!"
"Song Ruozhen is not as innocent as she seems, Your Highness, don't be fooled by her..."
"Snapped!"
Seeing that Qin Shuangshuang still wouldn't shut up, Granny Yang became even more ferocious. This woman had repeatedly caused trouble for the Fifth Miss.
She stole Fifth Sister's husband before, and now she even wants to ruin Fifth Sister's reputation. Today, she'll slap this woman's mouth until it's rotten!
"We have to fight the other one too."
Yunyang gave another old woman a wink. He had followed the prince for many years, so he naturally didn't need to wait for the prince's orders for everything.
He Xiangning's face turned pale. The pain from the slap was still fresh in her mind. The wound had only just healed, and now she was going to be slapped again.
"Lin Zhiyue, drag her away and give her fifty strokes of the cane!"
"Yes, Your Highness," Yunyang replied.
When Lin Zhiyue heard that he was to be given fifty strokes of the cane, he turned pale with fright. Fifty strokes of the cane would be the death of him!
"Your Highness, I really didn't mean it, please forgive me this time!"
Lin Zhiyue pleaded anxiously, "I will never dare to do it again, and I will also properly restrain my wife so that nothing like this will ever happen again!"
Chu Junting stared down at him, "Want to die?"
Lin Zhiyue felt as if an invisible hand had grabbed his neck. The intimidating gaze was full of murderous intent, which frightened him so much that he dared not utter another word.
"Young Master Xu, shouldn't you also offer an explanation for this matter?" Chu Junting raised an eyebrow, his voice cold.
Xu He'an quickly cupped his hands, his expression full of guilt, "Today I heard that Madam Lin and the others were coming to catch them in the act of adultery, and I was worried that it would hurt Miss Song, so I came here. I didn't expect that I was still a step too late."
My relationship with Miss Song is completely innocent. I will clarify the matter of the so-called engagement and ensure that the rumors do not spread further.
Chu Junting withdrew his gaze. At least Xu He'an had some brains!
However, Xu He'an immediately bowed to Liu Ruyan and said, "Aunt, today's events were caused by me, and He'an cannot escape the blame no matter what."
Liu Ruyan's eyes were gentle. She knew Xu He'an's personality and that he and Lin Zhiyue were not the same kind of people.
“Young Master Xu, we all believe in you and understand that you are not the kind of person who spreads rumors and causes trouble. They must be deliberately slandering you.”
However, Zhen'er is a young woman, and such rumors need to be clarified as soon as possible, because public opinion can be a powerful force.
Xu He'an's character is evident to all. To become a gentleman of integrity and uprightness in the capital, he must be a person of noble character. Moreover, the Xu family has always been strict in its family traditions. It is likely that He Xiangning deliberately did this because she could not have his love.
Upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Xu He'an's eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Auntie, in fact, I do admire Miss Song."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was filled with astonishment.
"Of course, this is all unrequited love on my part. I never had the chance to express my feelings to Miss Song before."
Today, Miss Song is unconscious, so I shouldn't be saying these things. However, since I wanted to clarify the matter, I hope Auntie can give me a chance.
