g his eyes and seemingly unconscious at the moment, Qing Xuan knew that he wasn't truly asleep. With such a strong scent, she could tell Nangong Ye was pretending to sleep to avoid his current predica...After a moment of contemplation, Nangong Hua's expression turned serious.

He decided not to get involved in this mess.

Since it was Ling Luo who caused this, let her solve it herself.

Ling Ru never expected that by merely humiliating a small servant and having him pick up silver notes, the servant would actually dare to put on airs with her.

What she found most perplexing was the reactions of those around her.

They shifted from gleeful schadenfreude to cautious concern.

...like it seems....

She didn't provoke just a lowly servant, but a ferocious beast.

In the elegant room, Qingxuan narrowed her eyes, munching on pastries as she peeked through the gauze curtain at Ling Ruo, who was currently making a fool of herself.

She remained silent, while Yunsheng uttered the words she had been thinking.

Yun Sheng: "Master, this servant thinks the situation here is rather dangerous."

Qingxuan ate the sweet and not greasy osmanthus mung bean cake, and smiled at Yunsheng.

It seems the person she chose has pretty good eyesight.

She then said leisurely, "Someone like Ling Ruo, who is so arrogant and domineering, has probably received plenty of life lessons from her family about how to survive in this world. This world will teach her a lesson. However... today, it's my turn to give her one."

Compared to her dainty bites of pastries, Yunshen had been eating overly bland food at the mansion these past few days. Now that he could eat such fresh and delicious pastries, he naturally took a big bite.

Hearing her words, Yunshen was immediately choked by the pastry and started coughing.

However, the downstairs was too quiet at this time. Everyone was waiting for what would happen next.

The atmosphere was too heavy. Just when Ling Ruo was at a loss for what to do in this situation, her heart pounding with surprise, a series of urgent coughs suddenly came from the third-floor private room.

Ling Ruo, who had originally been in a difficult position, shifted her gaze and suddenly became interested.

What are those VIPs on the third floor doing They're so flustered, coughing and wheezing, but what kind of shady business could they possibly be up to

When Yun Sheng heard this, he became even more agitated, his words choked by the pastry in his throat.

How could he tarnish the reputation of his master!

However, the more he panicked, the worse his cough became!

Hearing the coughs become more violent, Ling Ruo's eyes glinted with even greater amusement.

Seeing this, she immediately retorted, "It seems you're guilty as charged, coughing so frantically. To appear in the private room on the third floor, your identity must be extraordinary. Today, you brought a man to the Yunian Pavilion for a tryst. If such a secret were to spread, your husband would surely find out. Your current wealth and status would likely be lost."

As soon as these words left Ling's mouth, many spectators in the hall became curious and eager to learn about Qingxuan's identity.

Through the gauze curtain, Qingxuan caught the changing expressions of the spectators below.

With Li Ruo's instigation, the onlookers’ gazes fell upon her like they were looking at a prey laden with gold and silver.

If she were truly here meeting with men, if her identity were ever revealed, she would have no choice but to pay these people a hefty sum to keep quiet.

However, facing the spectators who stared at her with predatory intent, she did not panic but instead let out a cold snort and retorted with arrogance: “Princess Ling, you truly are a rabid dog.”

In order to prevent Ling Ruo from hearing her voice, she lowered her voice from the moment she started bidding.

However, because of Qingxuan's lowered voice, her light and airy words sounded even more powerful and imposing. They rang out with authority.

Ling Ru: "What did you say!"

Ling blushed instantly.

As a county princess, she never expected someone to dare call her a dog in public.

Ling's eyes flashed with venomous hatred.

Today she was scammed so badly, spending 210,000 taels to buy a purple Mingzhu all because of this vile woman.

If she exposed this woman's identity now, her reputation would be utterly ruined. She wouldn't just be labeled a homewrecker for meeting with someone on the black market, but much worse.

And here, people don't know how many secret sects are watching her, wanting to steal her wealth. If she still had a bit of beauty, robbery and sexual assault wouldn't be impossible.

With such thoughts in mind, Ling Luo's figure flickered, and she used her light kung fu to ascend to the third floor.

As long as she pulls down the veil in front of that scoundrel, today's most pathetic person in this black market won't be her!nt green teacup was drained, and the giant sword that had been chopped down also hung in midair, slashing towards Wu Zilun."How is that possible!!"Wu Zilin's face was a little pale.
