As the torch approached, the man holding Shen Ruoqi was clearly illuminated. This man was particularly ugly, with dark skin. One of her eyes was blind, and it was closed, but the other eye was somewhat lewd. The big mouth cackled foolishly.

Meanwhile, his two hands were tightly holding onto Shen Ruoqi. Under the illumination of the fire, one could clearly see the layer of dirt on his hands. A gust of wind blew over, and a terrible stench emitted from his body.

"Isn't that the one-eyed man from Overnight Fragrance?"

Among the servants, it was unknown who recognized the man's identity and shouted. Only then did the others remember that this incomparably ugly man wasn't Du Dahai, the one who caused the night to fall?

But why would this Du Dahai come to the backyard? And with this beautiful girl? Could it be that between them …

Thinking up to here, everyone couldn't help but look at Shen Ruoqi with pity, sighing inwardly that her eyes weren't good, otherwise why would a man look for Du Dahai?

"Let me go!" Shen Ruoqi's eyes were bloodshot as she struggled with all she had. A terrible stench kept on coming out, and she felt as if her entire body was going to be burnt to ashes.

What was going on? Didn't the Third Prince give her a note to come to the backyard? Why did such a disgusting man appear out of nowhere?

Could it be that it wasn't the third prince who gave her the slip of paper?

As she thought of this, she looked at Shangguan Qian with resentment, as if she understood something. It had to be her! It must have been set up by her!

"Ruoqi, you and this … What was Du Dahai's relationship? You actually ran out in the middle of the night to meet with me privately. Shangguan Qian scolded softly, his tone sorrowful, his small face full of complaints.

When the word 'private meeting' came out, everyone understood it in their hearts. The way they looked at Shen Ruoqi became even more frivolous.

Li Danyeng was even more confused. They had originally arranged Shangguan Qian to do so, why did it suddenly change to someone else?

"For a maid to be so careless, how good can the master be!"

"Princess Danfeng, Qian'Er really doesn't know the truth. Ruoqi did run out at night the previous few times, but Qian'Er had always been simple and never thought of anything else. She really didn't expect such a disgraceful matter to happen!" Shangguan Qian said with an aggrieved look on his face.

"Princess Danfeng, why would you lead your servant to the backyard without resting at midnight?"

Li Danyeng's face slightly changed. She fiercely glared at her and said, "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and heard the sound. I thought that a thief had brought someone here. Who would have thought that I would run into such a dirty thing!"

Many of the servants sighed as they thought, why did the originally standard looking maid come to find Du Dahai!?

"Princess, I like her. She also likes me …" Du Dahai foolishly smiled, fiercely pulling Shen Ruoqi and not letting her leave.

"Then why did she say she didn't know you?" Li Danyeng narrowed her eyes and asked, "Or is there someone else who has a secret meeting with you?"

She shot a glance at Shangguan Qian, mockery in her eyes. No matter if it was Shangguan Qian's maidservant or whoever, she would definitely be splashed with dirty water!

Du Dahai blanked out for a moment, blankly thought for a long time, then nodded, "Yes, there are still others who also want to meet me privately."

When these words were said, it caused the surrounding people to be excited. They couldn't help but to discuss in hushed voices, who was it that was secretly meeting Du Dahai?

Li Danyeng's face revealed a trace of a strange smile, and she hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Tell me your name! "

"Yes …" Du Dahai scratched his head and thought hard for a while before saying, "It's called … "It's called …"

"What are you shouting for!" Li Danyeng's eyes lit up as she looked at him in anticipation.

Shangguan Qian, who was at the side, was relatively calm, quietly watching the scene in front of him.

"Scream..." "Shangguan Qian."

The servants were in an even more uproar as they all looked at Shangguan Qian, they couldn't help guessing, could it be that Shangguan Qian and Du Dahai had something up their sleeves, and someone found out that they were replaced by a maid at the last moment?

However, Shangguan Qian looked pure and flawless. He was kind, and it was impossible to tell that he was that kind of woman, not to mention they were in the Third Prince's Mansion, and the two of them had not even married yet, but he had already done such a thing.

Shen Ruoqi rolled her eyes, fiercely gritted her teeth and cried out, "Princess, since the matter has been exposed, please let me go. I really don't like Du Dahai, I won't fight with the princess for a man."

After Shen Ruoqi's confirmation, it seemed like everything was clear. The one who had a private meeting with Du Dahai in the middle of the night was Shangguan Qian, and she was discovered by others before he pushed his maidservant away.

From the looks of it, this woman was extremely scheming.

"Shangguan Qian, you …" Wife, I really didn't think that you would dare meet with another man in private before marrying Big Brother Yi. Where did you leave Big Brother Yi? " Li Danyeng took the opportunity to add oil to the fire and cursed angrily.

Shangguan Qian clasped his hands behind his back, coldly glanced at Shen Ruoqi, and said with a faint smile, "Ruoqi, are you sure it's me and him?"

She bit her lips, and spoke with tears of grievance, "Princess, Ruoqi never lies, just now, it was indeed you and Du Dahai who were found out by the princess, that pushed me out."

"Hehe …"

A cold sneer sounded out, and Shangguan Qian'er's expression was calm as he said lightly: "I really didn't expect that Qian'Er would be bitten by my own servant girl."

"The facts are right in front of you, don't deny it!" Li Danyeng smiled mockingly, "Ah Fu, go call the Third Prince over. I want to see what big brother Yi will say!"

Ah Fu who was standing at the side chuckled and quickly ran away.

"Since Princess Danfeng is certain that it's a private meeting between me and a man, then I'll ask someone to send for Senior Servant Bai. She'll bear witness for me."

"Senior Servant Bai?" A hint of joy appeared on Li Danyeng's face. Shangguan Qian, that idiot, actually asked Senior Servant Bai to testify? Senior Servant Bai looked down on Shangguan Qian, how could she testify for her?

"Alright, go get Senior Servant Bai!"

"Danfeng, Qian'er, what happened?" An inquiring voice was heard. Li Fengyi, who was wearing an official's uniform, walked over with large strides. His face was filled with fatigue. Clearly, he had just returned from outside.

"Big Brother Yi, you've come at the right time. Look at the imperial concubine you've chosen. She's only been here for a few days, and yet she's been hanging out with another man. We've caught her, but she still doesn't admit!"

Li Difeng pulled Li Fengyi to her side, staring at Shangguan Qian with disgust.

As for Li Fengyi, when he saw Shen Ruoqi in Du Dahai's arms, his expression instantly changed as his deep eyes narrowed.

"What the hell is going on!"

The moment that Shen Ruoqi saw Li Fengyi appear, it was as if he saw hope. Since the Third Prince had come, he would definitely believe that she had been wrongly accused.

"Shangguan Qian is a treacherous person, he had a private meeting with Du Dahai, and I found out that he actually pushed the maid next to him out, it's really hateful!"

"Princess Danfeng, what you said isn't right. Everyone is watching. The one who saw them secretly meeting is you, while I came after."

"Maybe you were the one who hid! That's why you came out when you saw us! "

"Third Prince, Third Prince, I was wrongly accused by Shangguan Qian. She said that if I didn't replace her, he would sell me to Qing." "Inside."

Shen Ruqi cried out, her hands tightly holding onto the torn clothes on her body.

At this point, Shangguan Qian's image had changed into that of a vicious lord, completely different from his usual self.

Li Fengyi looked coldly at Shen Ruoqi with disgust in her eyes.

"Big brother Yi, Shangguan Qian is a hypocritical woman, he really doesn't know the face of a man!"

Shangguan Qian stood at the side, not angry at their injustice, but rather indifferent.

Shangguan Qian stared at him seriously, his tone downcast as he mumbled: "Feng Yi, don't tell me you don't believe me as well?"

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you want to say?" Li Danyeng said fiercely.

"What happened? Loud and chaotic? " Senior Servant Bai rushed over and asked in surprise.

Shangguan Qian stepped forward, holding Senior Servant Bai's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Senior Servant Bai, you're here! You have to uphold justice for Qian'Er!"

"What happened?" Senior Servant Bai took a deep look at Li Dancheng, completely baffled. She didn't know what had happened.

Tears streamed down Shangguan Qian'er's face as he felt wronged. He looked at Li Danyeng resentfully, before asking, "Senior Servant Bai, Qian'er is asking you … was Qian'Er with you just now?"

"Yeah, we didn't just come back from picking flowers."

"Senior Servant Bai!" Li Danyeng walked between them in a flustered and exasperated manner, shaking off Shangguan Qian's hand that was grabbing onto Senior Servant Bai and asked angrily, "Senior Servant Bai, are you really following Shangguan Qian?"

Senior Servant Bai realized that she had misspoken and kept her mouth shut. However, they had indeed been together just now and had agreed to Imperial Concubine's request. They had come together to pick and choose. floral.

"Princess Danfeng, Qian'er has been with Senior Servant Bai the entire night. Because the Mandala in the backyard blooms at night, Senior Servant Bai and I have been waiting for you. This consort also knows about flowers. " Shangguan Qian'er sniffed with her nose, saying grudgingly: "Just now, Qian'er also wanted to return to her own courtyard, so she happened to hear the sounds coming from the backyard. I didn't expect that she would be so wronged."

"You said I wronged you?" Li Danyeng fiercely said, "That's good. Since I wronged you, then where is your maid?" Is it because I wronged you? Why would she accuse you wrongly? "

Shangguan Qian'er raised his head, looking at Shen Ruoqi, who was still undressed, and sighed helplessly. "It's my fault, Qian'Er was too strict with his, that's why Ruoqi hates me."

"What do you mean?"

Shangguan Qian took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "I have long since discovered Ruoqi's situation."
