At this time, another sharp and deliberate voice came into her ears: “You don’t know it yet, this Young Master Meng already has a sweetheart, but they can’t be together. So he took a different path. You said that they are matched by heaven, in fact, it’s just another pair of resentful couples in the world.”

“Oh, don’t say this nonsense, you’ll destroy a good marriage.”

The voice came up again as if deliberately talking next to her sedan chair. There was so much noise around, but this person’s voice came into her ears so clearly.

“I didn’t talk nonsense, this is what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my ears.”

“Tell me, tell me, what did you see? What did you hear?”

Princess Yiping frowned. She knew that the other party had ulterior motives, but still couldn’t help but prick up her ears. This was only natural, after all, it was about her husband. She wanted to know some secret things, which was naturally a common human instinct.

The voice didn’t stay silent for too long, and it sounded soon.

The person who spoke was clearly in the crowd, but the voice seemed to be in her ears as if someone was whispering to her.

She heard every word very clearly.

“On the third day of the month, I saw with my own eyes that Young Master Meng came out of Dongfang Mansion early in the morning. His clothes were full of wrinkles, and it looked like he had spent the night at the Dongfang Family house. I was puzzled at the time, this Young Master Meng live in a mansion in good condition, why did he stay in Dongfang Mansion? And I heard that there are only two people in Dongfang Family’s house. One is Master Dongfang and the other one is his granddaughter.”

There was a series of heavy sighs around. Princess Yiping could hear it. And in her ears, she could only hear the sharp voice of the man.

“I thought it was just a coincidence, so I didn’t take this matter to heart at all. After all, it’s the affairs of these dignitaries, so what does it have to do with us? But I just heard people say in the restaurant that afternoon that Young Master Meng and Master Dongfang’s granddaughter, Bai Zhi, had known each other since Young Master Meng went to Qingyuan Town. The relationship between the two was extraordinary. Young Master Meng once used his body to block the tiger’s mouth to save that Bai Zhi. The tendon in his hand was bitten off by the tiger. Although it was cured, there is still a scar on his wrist.”

“According to you, since Young Master Meng and Miss Bai are in love with each other, and they went through life and death, why they didn’t get together?”

“Don’t you know, Miss Bai and Prince Jin have engaged since childhood. She will be the daughter-in-law of the royal family long ago. No matter how good the Meng family is, can it be better than the Chu family?”

Princess Yiping squeezed the corner of her sleeves, and bite her red lips with her teeth, as the mist formed in her beautiful eyes under the red hijab.

It turned out that the faint melancholy color in his eyes was because of another woman.

It turned out that she, Princess Yiping, was just a substitute.

The man’s voice no longer came, and there was nothing else in her ears except the beating of gongs and drums.

That person just now said it to her on purpose!

What was his purpose? Why provoke her relationship with Meng Nan? She doesn’t care about these things, she only cares about the truth and falsehood of what that person said.

The sedan chair stopped outside the gate of Meng Mansion. According to the etiquette, Meng Nan greeted the bride and entered the door.

Lifting away the hijab and drinking a glass of wine was considered a courtesy.

Meng Nan put down the rod tied with thin red silk, and said to Princess Yiping: “There is still a social gathering outside, I’ll go out first, you can eat something and rest early by yourself.”
