The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 214 Adultery Exposed

Yu Chi Ling suddenly pulled her into his arms and gave a soft hum, "You think they're the matchmaker, but I only see them as rivals in love. I wonder who it is that calls others 'Brother Huai' this and 'Brother Huai' that, but has never been so affectionate with their own husband."

Ye Shishu felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected him to suddenly bring up old grievances and even nitpick about how he addressed her.

God knows, she hated herself for being so blind and heartless in the past, and he was still so jealous of her blindness and heartlessness, especially when there were other people around...

She glanced awkwardly at Sanshui.

Sanshui lowered his head and turned away.

She then tiptoed and hooked her arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his tightly pursed lips, and said with a playful smile, "Then I'll call you Ah Ling, Brother Ling, Husband... whatever you like to hear!"

"I like them both." Yu Chi Ling's previous sour tone vanished, replaced by a smile.

"Alright, let's settle things here first, then we'll let you hear as much as you want when we get back." Ye Shishu blushed and nudged him, indicating that there were other people around.

Yu Chi Ling then released her, his handsome face returning to its usual cold expression. "San Shui, was the Imperial Censor's eldest son downstairs just now?"

Sanshui turned around, bowed, and replied, "Your Highness, Young Master Chen was indeed in the auction house just now."

“The Censor-in-Chief impeaches many officials every year, and his eldest son deserves much of the credit. He loves gossip, so find a way to lure him to Wei Yonghuai and Luo Lixian’s room.”

"Yes," Sanshui replied with a smile.

……

After Yuchi Rui was deposed as crown prince and imprisoned, Wei Yonghuai never saw Luo Lixian again.

He had been secretly inquiring about the news of the envoy from the Northern Di Kingdom. When he learned that Luo Lixian had been released from the palace today to reunite with the fourth prince of the Northern Lin Kingdom, he immediately rushed to the post station.

Upon arriving at the post station, he heard that Luo Lixian and the Fourth Prince had come to Ziqiong Manor, so he rushed there after them.

Compared to their past intimate and passionate relationship, when the two met again today, there was no warmth of "a day apart feels like three autumns," and Luo Lixian's expression was unusually distant and indifferent.

"Young Master Wei, what brings you here? What brings you here?"

"Xian'er, how have you been while you were under house arrest in the palace? Have you suffered any injustices?" Wei Yonghuai held her shoulders, his face full of concern. "I heard you left the palace, and I was worried about you, so I came to find you as soon as possible! You have no idea how much I've missed you these days!"

After saying that, he lowered his head to kiss him.

As if she had expected this, Luo Lixian quickly turned her head away and pushed him away.

"Xian'er..."

“Young Master Wei, my fourth brother is in the manor. You know his identity. If he finds out about our relationship now, he will definitely be furious.”

"You...you look down on me now that you've become the princess of Beilin Kingdom?" Wei Yonghuai's eyes widened involuntarily, especially when he heard her call him "Young Master Wei" again and again, his face visibly turned blue. "You're just like Ye Shishu, clinging to power and influence, thinking you can abandon me now that you have a backer?"

Faced with his furious expression, as if he wanted to devour someone, Luo Lixian couldn't help but feel nervous.

That's right, she didn't want to continue with this man anymore!

She is now not only the fifth princess of Beilin Kingdom, but Mo Qianxiao has also promised her immense wealth. Previously, she flattered Wei Yonghuai and engaged in illicit relations with him because she saw him as a fallback plan.

But she never expected that Yu Chi Rui would suffer such a change, going from an incomparably noble crown prince to a despised prisoner overnight. Yu Chi Rui's downfall also led to the decline of the already weak Wei family, and the incompetent Wei Yonghuai was like a clown, completely unreliable!

These days, she has been under house arrest in the palace, and she has thought about many, many things...

However, Wei Yonghuai was still someone she was wary of, since their affair was shady and she couldn't completely break ties with him yet.

"Brother Huai, can you let me finish what I have to say?" She instantly put on a distressed look, then switched back to her previous intimate address, and took Wei Yonghuai's hand, leading him to the corner of the wall. She even glanced cautiously at the door before continuing, "You haven't met my fourth brother, he's very strict. He immediately started teaching me manners, saying that my status is different now, and I'm absolutely not allowed to do anything that would damage the reputation of Bei Lin Kingdom. I was distancing myself from you just now because I was worried that he would send someone to follow me and discover our relationship."

"Is that so?" Wei Yonghuai glanced at the door as well, then looked at her with a deep gaze. "Are you sure you don't want to distance yourself from me?"

“Brother Huai…” Luo Lixian threw herself into his arms, sobbing, “How could I possibly sever ties with you? You’re the only man in my life, and you’re the only one who loves me the most. Whether I’m a princess of Bei Lin or not, I will never be separated from you in this life. It’s just that the princess’s status is too special. Yu Chi Rui can turn a blind eye to our relationship, but my fourth brother can’t. If he knew about my relationship with you, he would definitely break us up. For our future, can you endure this for a while?”

Wei Yonghuai certainly disagreed!

He couldn't stay in the Great Ye Kingdom for even a second longer...

He had waited all this time, hoping for a result with her, so that he could go to the Northern Lin Kingdom with her as her consort!

If he doesn't let the fourth prince of Beilin know of his existence, how can he hold his head high?

"Xian'er, Yuchi Rui is finished. You have the backing of the Northern Lin Kingdom, and you can get rid of your status as the Crown Prince's concubine at any time. Now I just want to be with you legitimately and become the Prince Consort of the Northern Lin Kingdom. Are you willing?"

"Huh?" Luo Lixian looked up at him in astonishment.

Just then, the door was kicked open with a bang—

A tall, thin man rushed in with a group of people!

The two people, who were embracing each other, trembled with fear at the same time.

After recognizing who it was, Wei Yonghuai turned around and roared, "Chen Zhan, who let you in?"

The man named Chen Zhan was the eldest son of the censor Chen Zhengkang.

How could Wei Yonghuai not feel ashamed and angry when an acquaintance caught him in his shameful secret?

"Young Master Wei, it's you?" Chen Zhan's eyes darted around on them, then he suddenly cried out, "This... isn't this the Crown Prince's Consort? What are you doing here? And hugging each other?!"

The group of people behind him immediately erupted in an uproar, whispering among themselves—

"I heard there was an affair here, but I never imagined it was between the Crown Prince's concubine and the young master of the Wei family!"

"Isn't the Crown Prince's concubine an adopted daughter of the Wei family? She's having an affair with her own brother—isn't that against all moral principles? How shameless!"

"I've heard that the Crown Prince's concubine is a princess of the Northern Lin Kingdom. How can a princess of such a kingdom be so shameless?"

Amidst the mocking whispers, a furious shout suddenly rang out, "Get out of the way! Everyone get out of the way!"

The crowd immediately dispersed to both sides.

Upon seeing the man enter, Luo Lixian, who was standing next to Wei Yonghuai, instantly turned pale.
