Chapter 282: Don’t You Know Not to Look At Indecent Things
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo’er’s voice was very loud and carried intense anger. “You’re the servant girl beside Miss Jin, and I know your name is Huan’er! Tell me, did your Miss want to harm our Eldest Miss!”
“Miss Jin?”
Everyone subconsciously looked for Miss Jin.
Miss Jin’s name was Jin Wei’er, and she was the daughter of a fifth-grade official. Although her father was a Capital official, he was barely qualified to attend the banquet.
Because her father was Guan Ruping’s father’s subordinate, Jin Wei’er had always been with Guan Ruping. However, she was timid and would do whatever Guan Ruping asked her to do, just like a follower.
Jin Wei’er’s face was pale and her hands were trembling. She knelt down in front of Huangfu He and said, “Huan’er didn’t do it on purpose. Your Highness, please spare Huan’er!”
Most of the things that the servant girl did would be seen as the master’s instigation. When the matter fell on Jin Wei’er, she was extremely afraid.
Those who knew Jin Wei’er knew that she wouldn’t have the guts to harm Liu Shimei. Even if Liu Shimei’s reputation was now in disarray, she was still the daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s wife and the future daughter-in-law of the royal family.
Moreover, there was the Liang family’s troublemaker watching from the side. She would not dare to provoke Jin Wei’er if she borrowed the gourd to give her courage!
Then, did Huan’er really not do it on purpose?
Huangfu He looked at Liu Shimei.
Huangfu Lingyao immediately stood in front of Liu Shimei, blocking Huangfu He’s gaze. It was as if he was afraid that someone would snatch him away.
The two men were drenched and their hair was messy, but it could not hide their outstanding facial features and figures.
Relatively speaking, Huangfu Lingyao was more good-looking, but it was useless. He was the Silly Second Prince!
Huangfu He’s expression was calm, but Huangfu Lingyao was like a dog protecting its food. He glared at Huangfu He and said, “What are you doing?! Don’t you know that you should not be looking at indecent things?”
“Second brother…” Huangfu He felt a headache coming on.
Which family had a half-brother who could not be beaten or scolded? This brother might even hit someone. Everyone would have a headache like him.
Liu Shimai sighed and softly said, “Your Highness, it’s not appropriate for us to stand here in wet clothes and interrogate the culprit. Since it’s now confirmed that this Huan’er is suspicious, let’s keep an eye on her first. We’ll have our servants change clothes and then proceed with a detailed inquiry.”
She took the initiative to speak to Huangfu He. Huangfu Lingyao immediately turned around and looked at her with his head drooping. His eyes were filled with accusation!
Her small eyes looked as if she wanted to eat her up!
Liu Shimei felt helpless. She reached out and hooked his finger to comfort him.
With this small action, the silly dog’s resentment seemed to have been cured. His expression softened and he was no longer so resistant.
On the other side, Huangfu He nodded and said, “You make sense. Let’s all board the ship. There are some spare clothes on board, we can change up there.”
It was too far to go back to East Mountain Garden to change his clothes. Huangfu Lingyao wanted to, but he remembered that he still had to find out who was the mastermind later, so he could only give up.
The unpleasant interlude came to an end. Liu Shimei wrapped herself in Liang Yi’s robe and boarded the boat. A eunuch and serving girl came over and took her and Huangfu Lingyao to change their clothes.
The noble ladies who did not manage to become the Crown Princess candidates could not help but gloat over the other candidates. All of you are really Miss Liu’s substitutes! Second choices, at best!
Liu Yan’er’s leg was injured again, so she could not come.
Yu Wanqing would not act too presumptuously in front of the Crown Prince, but even if she tried her best to control herself, her face would still be distorted.
On the other hand, Zhang Miaozhen was still calm.
Standing next to Zhang Miaozhen was Miao Linglong, the daughter of the Duke of An. She was also calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
The disparities were evident.
Someone like Yu Wanqing was sure to be eliminated. In order to save face for the eldest princess, at most, they might grant her a position as a side concubine or a secondary consort.
While these thoughts were circulating among the others, Liu Shimei had already left to change clothes, unaware of what they were pondering.
After changing his clothes in the cabin, the person waiting outside was not Huangfu Lingyao, but Huangfu He!
