The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 780: Chapter 739: Why Is It Her

The two people on the couch were previously entangled.

Though merely embracing each other, their clothes were disheveled. And under the watchful eyes of the public, whether it was voluntary or a scheme, the reputation was utterly ruined.

Those who witnessed everything were instantly in an uproar, rushing even closer.

At this moment, as if annoyed by the commotion, the two people on the couch looked over unhappily.

Their faces, the man handsome, the woman charming, now flushed, eyes bewildered, their initially unclear features now completely visible.

Mrs. Xia hadn’t reacted, but Zhao Hua, shocked as if seeing a ghost, screamed, then extended his arm to block the approaching people: ”Everyone out! Get out!”

His reaction was quick, and his actions even quicker.

However, the crowd that had already entered the room had seen the faces of the two people on the couch clearly.

The distinguished, handsome young man with a face like White Jade and an outstanding demeanor was none other than the Second Young Master of Prince Liang Mansion. At this moment, he gazed at the woman in his arms with lingering affection.

The delicate and elegant lady, refined and lovely, clad in luxurious attire, turned out not to be Xia Wenjin but...

Not everyone present might know Xia Wenjin, but they certainly recognized this lady!

Isn’t she Zhao Keyan, the precious legitimate daughter of Grand Tutor Zhao, one of the accomplished twins, Shuang Yan?

No wonder Zhao Hua, usually frivolous and disruptive, suddenly changed his expression and made an abrupt turnaround.

Isn’t this ironic?

Intending to witness the embarrassment of another’s sister, only to find it was his own. Such a scene wouldn’t dare be scripted in a drama!

Thinking of the powerful Grand Tutor Zhao behind the Zhao siblings, an influential minister in the court, some people instinctively retreated a few steps.

They came in droves because life was dull; cockfighting, horsemanship, composing poetry, and assignments—while enjoyable, they can become tiresome. Furthermore, the latter is often for pretentious elegance; who wants to keep playing?

But the gossip about others is different. Particularly scandalous tales of men and women, praised romantically as tales of talented scholars and fair maidens secretly pledging their lives together. Critically, it’s about witnessing others’ disgrace, these unabashed real-life dramas much more entertaining than scripted ones.

They gathered here upon hearing of the scandalous affair between a noble lady and gentleman engaging heedlessly in intimate conduct within a changing room. An audacious gossip promising enough conversational fodder for a year!

Hence, fearing they’d miss the best view, witnessing the affair firsthand is thrilling.

However, they could never have dreamed the man was Huangfu Yuxuan, the Second Young Master of Prince Liang Mansion, and the woman was Zhao Keyan, the esteemed legitimate daughter of Grand Tutor Zhao, cherished deeply.

Such a spectacle couldn’t be risked witnessing, for misfortune might strike unexpectedly; naturally, it’s crucial to leave this place of trouble swiftly.

However, Zhao Hua refused to let them retreat.

His expression darkened, commanding sternly, ”Seal the door, and until the matter is clarified, no one leaves!”

Simultaneously, Wei Jian also loudly ordered the door sealed.

He had no direct relation to Zhao Keyan, but his aunt married Prince Liang, was once Crown Princess Consort, despite her faded glory, remains a legitimate relative.

With Huangfu Yuxuan’s scandal, he naturally must help conceal it.

Inside the room, people exchanged bewildered glances; they hadn’t expected they’d trap themselves while merely catching a spectacle.

The only consolation was that everyone inside wasn’t of ordinary status. Even with Zhao Family, Wei Family, and Prince Liang Mansion wanting to suppress the news, silencing them all seemed impossible.

Princess Ning was also inside; earlier her maid reported Mrs. Xia’s niece and the Second Young Master of Prince Liang Mansion were secretly meeting. How had the person changed?

Did the maid make a mistake?

Huangfu Yuxuan intended this; Princess Ning was aware. But Huangfu Yuxuan only hinted at borrowing her mansion temporarily without entrusting the matter to her. She knew this would happen, but not who’d be involved.

Back then, she felt the Second Young Master was being excessive. With his lineage and favorable qualities, was it impossible for him to marry a noble lady from the Capital City?

However, she understood; young people enjoy seeking thrills and surprises, don’t they?

Seeing Zhao Keyan now, she suddenly felt enlightened yet somewhat puzzled. Wasn’t it said that Grand Tutor Zhao’s legitimate daughter was quite interested in the Second Young Master of Prince Liang Mansion?
