Chapter 63: Reap What You Sow

The moment those words left his lips, everyone present turned pale and looked towards Princess Langhua.

Princess Langhua was beside herself with rage. Her eyes, like daggers, pierced through the layers of gauze, aimed at the speaker within the pavilion.

Unaware of the storm brewing outside, the person inside continued to speak, uttering words that made everyone blush.

Even the Crown Princess, a married woman, couldn’t bear to listen any longer.

“Langhua, take them away.” The Crown Princess glanced at her daughter, signaling her to leave. This wasn’t a place for young ladies like them.

But Princess Langhua was already consumed by fury. Instead of leaving, she stormed into the pavilion, ripping the gauze curtain aside.

Everyone expected to see a man and a woman inside, but when Princess Langhua pulled back the curtain, she found only a man. He was gazing at a handkerchief in his hand, pouring out his love for it and making gestures that sparked scandalous thoughts.

The scene was not what Princess Langhua had anticipated, leaving her stunned. Suddenly, the man rushed towards her, wrapping his arms around her.

“Let go! Let me go!” Princess Langhua struggled desperately, but she was no match for a grown man, especially one who claimed to be deeply in love with her.

“My Lady, my Lady, you’ve finally come. I’ve waited so long for you.” The man held Princess Langhua tight, kissing her face.

“Ah, ah, ah, you beast, let me go!”

Unable to break free, Princess Langhua’s face turned pale, and she screamed in terror, “Mother, Mother, save me, save me!”

The Crown Princess, quick on her feet, immediately ordered the nearby maids to help separate the two.

Even after they were pulled apart, the man continued to shout at Princess Langhua, “My Lady, my Lady, I love you. You promised to marry me, have you forgotten? My Lady, look, the handkerchief you gave me, I’ve kept it with me all this time.”

Initially, everyone thought the handkerchief was bought or found somewhere. Now they realized it belonged to Princess Langhua.

Some sharp-eyed individuals noticed that it was the very handkerchief Princess Langhua had used earlier today. The looks they cast at Princess Langhua grew increasingly strange.

The Crown Princess’s face was beyond black when she saw the handkerchief. She wanted to kill, to kill this man, even those who were watching this spectacle.

But she couldn’t. Though she was the Crown Princess, this incident had occurred in her own residence, and she bore some responsibility.

“Bring them down,” the Crown Princess commanded, and immediately, the maids stepped forward to escort the young ladies and gentlemen away.

Yunzhi was about to leave as well, but Princess Langhua spoke up, addressing the Crown Princess, “Mother, it was Yunzhi, it must have been Yunzhi who did this.”

Yunzhi had hoped that Princess Langhua, having reaped what she sowed, would leave her alone. But Princess Langhua was determined to ruin her. She was pinning the blame on Yunzhi.

Yes, Yunzhi was involved. She had given the man something to make him act this way. And the handkerchief, it was Yunzhi who had given it to him.

Knowing Princess Langhua’s malicious intentions, Yunzhi had taken her handkerchief when she offered to escort her to the pavilion.
