Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Improper Conduct “At the time of speaking,” she turned to Ye Yiheng, “Your Highness, I need to return to the Prince Mansion.” “I will accompany you.” Ye Yiheng took the eye veil that had been draped over Song Guo’s shoulder and tied it on. Song Guo pushed his ability to observe to the limit: “Crown Princess Consort, I will put away the peach basket and call someone to prepare the carriage.” Leng Yu Yan stopped him, “Give me the peach basket, I’ll let my second brother taste these peaches later.” Song Guo handed the peach basket to Leng Yu Yan, and then sprinted off, summoning Miao Zhu and asking Mo Chen to drive the carriage. The group headed straight to Prince Zhenbei Mansion. By the time they arrived at Jingning Village in Prince Zhenbei Mansion, Leng Yuqing, always gentle and elegant, sat with a stern face in the outer room, where the faint sound of a woman’s crying could be heard from the inner room. Just as Leng Yu Yan was about to call out to her second brother, the woman inside spoke, “I am a maiden from a decent family, for the Second Young Master to so rashly undress me destroys my reputation. Shouldn’t the Second Young Master take responsibility?” These words shocked Leng Yu Yan, and hearing the voice made her almost drop her jaw; she gestured to Miao Zhu to bring out the woman inside. Miao Zhu nodded and quickly walked into the inner room. Leng Yuqing stood up and silently greeted Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan. Leng Yu Yan anxiously asked, “Second brother, what exactly happened?” Leng Yuqing sighed, “Today was oppressively hot, I sweated a lot at the military camp, so I returned to the mansion to bathe and change. Unexpectedly, there was a woman sleeping in my room.” “She was sleeping in your bed?” Leng Yuqing nodded, “That is indeed the case, and I do not even know this woman!” By then, the woman in the room, seeing Miao Zhu, felt guilty and refused to come out at all. Leng Yu Yan turned her head and instructed Wei Hao, “Go to the Northern Garrison and ask Gao Yuan and Mi Xinrong to come to the mansion.” Although Wei Hao did not understand the meaning of his Commandery Princess, with her present, problems could generally be solved; he nodded in agreement and immediately dashed off. Watching Wei Hao run off, Leng Yu Yan called out loudly to the inner room, “Mi Xinmei, won’t you come out? Or do I need to come in and fetch you myself?” Having seen Miao Zhu earlier, Mi Xinmei knew that Leng Yu Yan had arrived; hearing Leng Yu Yan’s voice now, her heart suddenly turned cold. Leng Yu Yan then instructed Mo Chen and Song Guo, “Go to Jing Suburb Manor and invite Lai Jiajia over, and then to the Luo Family to have Luo Meng’er also come to the mansion.” “Yes, Crown Princess Consort!” The two responded and quickly left. Miao Zhu, who was rather strong, grabbed Mi Xinmei by the arm and led her out of the inner room. “The woman in the room is Lady Mi from the Mi Family.” Leng Yu Yan pinched her slender fingers and said lightly, “I recognized her voice.” She didn’t even look at Mi Xinmei, and went on to say, “Miao Zhu, go wash a few peaches and let my second brother have a taste.” Thinking about the posture of picking peaches, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but feel her face heat up. Leng Yuqing looked at the honey peaches in the basket, seeing that his sister was in the mood to eat peaches, and now that the identity of the woman in the room was clear, his previous embarrassment suddenly dissipated. He then picked up the peach basket, “I will wash the peaches, you two Highnesses please sit for a moment.” “Second Young Master, let me assist you,” Miao Zhu quickly followed him. “That’s fine.” Leng Yuqing’s sullen face had completely vanished. Ye Yiheng took Leng Yu Yan and sat down by the window, speaking faintly, “Your second brother’s yard is quite serene.” “Yes, my second brother likes quiet, he’s also steady, unlike my third and fourth brothers who are boisterous.” Leng Yu Yan surveyed the room’s furnishings, elegant and fresh, purposely avoiding looking at Mi Xinmei. Mi Xinmei initially felt somewhat embarrassed, but seeing the Crown Prince being quite gentle towards Leng Yu Yan, she grew jealous and stubbornly remained standing without giving a proper greeting. She had thought that since Leng Yu Yan married into the Eastern Palace and seldom returned to the Prince Mansion, it was her chance to come. To make Gao Yuan jealous, she had inquired early about the residence of the Second Young Master who now commanded the elite soldiers of the Northern Garrison. No one was in the courtyard, which brought her great joy, imagining staying in the Second Young Master’s room until evening. As long as she spent one night in the room with the Second Young Master, even if nothing happened, becoming the Second Young Madam of the Prince Zhenbei Mansion was as good as confirmed. Who could have expected the Second Young Master to return to his room? Just as she thought she was about to lose the opportunity, to her surprise, the Second Young Master began to undress. Unwilling to miss such an excellent chance, she began to scream in shock. Her scream startled the Second Young Master as well. The last thing she expected was for the Second Young Master, a man of such refined tastes, adamantly refusing to take responsibility. Left with no other choice, she resorted to crying and making a scene, nearly reaching the point of threatening suicide. What she least expected was that the servants of the manor would invite Leng Yu Yan, who not only came but also brought the Crown Prince with her. The situation became beyond her control, and Mi Xinmei could only stand with her head down, making no sound, while frantically figuring out how to extricate herself from the predicament. Leng Yuqing had washed some peaches, offering one each to Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan first, and then one to Miao Zhu, before taking one for himself. Miao Zhu ate her peach with a big smile, “Second Young Master, you do not know, but these peaches were picked just this morning by His Highness and the Crown Princess Consort. The peach tree was brought especially to the Eastern Palace by His Highness so that the Crown Princess Consort could enjoy peaches in the future.” At this, Leng Yuqing laughed openly, settling beside Leng Yu Yan on the other side, and declared joyfully, “That is indeed wonderful!” Ye Yiheng suddenly spoke up, “Second uncle is a year older than I, logically it is about time he took a wife.” Leng Yuqing waved his hands dismissively, “That is still early.” “It seems that second uncle and I have similar tastes: none too fond of women who throw themselves at us.” Ye Yiheng’s voice was cool and light like water. Hearing the Crown Prince’s protective tone, Leng Yuqing felt truly grateful, “Though I am a year older than Your Highness, I also wish to emulate Your Highness. I won’t marry until I find a woman I truly desire, and if not, then I shall never marry.” The two men complemented each other in their conversation, which caused Mi Xinmei’s face to alternately flush and pale. While the few of them chatted and ate peaches, they completely ignored Mi Xinmei. When Lai Jiajia and Luo Meng’er arrived, they greeted the three present before noting Mi Xinmei standing woodenly to the side, their shock evident. “When did you arrive, Xinmei?” Mi Xinmei stuttered, not speaking clearly. Just as Lai Jiajia and Luo Meng’er were about to ask Leng Yu Yan, Gao Yuan and Mi Xinrong also arrived. Mi Xinrong was so angry that he didn’t bother with greetings and strode over, slapping Mi Xinmei across the face. A handprint appeared on Mi Xinmei’s face as she burst into tears, “Big brother, you hit me?” Mi Xinrong shouted, “Indeed, I hit you!” “Without even considering the whole story, you hit your own little sister?” sobbed Mi Xinmei, crouching down. Leng Yu Yan turned to Wei Hao and said, “You tell us what you know.” “Yes, Crown Princess Consort!” Wei Hao stood upright and reported, “This morning, I led the cleaning crew from one courtyard to another. Since Jingning Village is cleaned every day, we scheduled it last, so the courtyard was temporarily empty. The Second Young Master, having sweated, went back to his room to bathe, only to find a woman sleeping in his bed. This woman was she, who then crying and fussing, insisted that the Second Young Master marry her.” He pointed toward Mi Xinmei. Mi Xinmei shook her head, “I entered the wrong courtyard, and being sleepy, I randomly chose a room to rest in. How could I have known that the Second Young Master would start undressing in front of me, intending to take advantage of me?”说着,哭声戚戚,”I’m not yet betrothed, and have never seen a man undress, let alone have him…” For more chapters visıt 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵
