Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 510 - 23: The Cannon Fodder Vase in the Scheming Nov

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and I know you were worried about the dowry and missed your dinner, so I’m here to see you."

As he spoke, he placed a hand on Jiang Lai’s shoulder.

In the quiet room, the candlelight was dim, Chu Yunxuan looked down at Jiang Lai, expecting to suppress his emotions, but upon closer inspection, he found Jiang Lai to be very charming and alluring.

The flesh on her body was just right, her round face, her features covered with a veil like mist, almond-shaped eyes, red lips with soft and tender lines, the candlelight danced in her eyes like hooks threading through, making Chu Yunxuan suddenly feel parched.

"You’ve gotten quite thin lately."

Jiang Lai looked at the mirror, curled her lips into a smile, and said.

"Your Highness has finally noticed."

"It’s my fault for today, I will definitely help you find your dowry. We’ve been married for so long, when have I ever treated you poorly?

Lately, there are many in the court waiting for to make a mistake. Jiang Lai, let’s put the dowry issue aside for now, let resolve the court matters first, then we’ll deal with it, alright?"

The man’s attitude softened, his gaze was affectionate, if it were the original host sitting here, they would probably have been coaxed into confusion long ago.

Jiang Lai sighed.

"Your Highness may not know, my dowry contains a Red Coral, a family heirloom from my mother’s side, priceless, bestowed by the late emperor, if it really gets lost it would be a decapitation-worthy cri, and it would implicate you.

That’s why I said, we must find the dowry as soon as possible, those thieves surely wouldn’t dare touch these imperial gifts, we must intercept them before these items are shipped away."

Chu Yunxuan’s hand stiffened.

He indeed saw a rare Red Coral inside, weighing nearly a hundred pounds, truly a treasure of the world, but he hadn’t realized this item was an imperial gift.

At the ti, he simply marveled at how the Taishi old man had secretly amassed so many treasures, and then ordered the coral to be dismantled and distributed to curry favor.

Now knowing this, where would he find an identical Red Coral?

Seeing him silent, Jiang Lai smiled, leaned back slightly, creating a scene of intimacy between them.

This mont, a knock on the door indeed ca from outside.

Zhao Ziyuan’s voice suddenly sounded.

"Prince Consort, I’ve co to bring dicine for you, my lady."

At the sound of this voice, Chu Yunxuan instinctively pushed Jiang Lai’s shoulder and retreated a step, maintaining a distance suggesting furtive behavior when Zhao Ziyuan entered.

Zhao Ziyuan saw this, a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

She placed the dicine bowl down and turned to leave, glancing at Chu Yunxuan, her eyes clearly brimming with tears.

Seeing this, Chu Yunxuan couldn’t remain any longer, but fearing Jiang Lai’s suspicion, he stayed a mont to offer an explanation.

"I suddenly rembered so unfinished matters, you should sleep first, I’ll co find you tomorrow night."

"Alright."

Jiang Lai’s obedient and sweet deanor stayed in Chu Yunxuan’s mind.

Catching up with Zhao Ziyuan, the two were just by the artificial mountain, one chasing, one running, one shouting, one crying, finally they embraced and entered the mountain cave together.

"Oh my... tsk tsk tsk, how do argunts turn into kissing!"

Jiang Lai leisurely wiped her shoulder and yawned.

"You keep watching the show, I’m going to sleep."

"What other show... oh! I saw it, what a coincidence!"

So won in the backyard, who gather to drink tea and chat under the moon, happened to pass by the artificial mountain.

The moon was bright tonight, the shadows of people inside the cave elongated, visible at a glance from afar.

Won in the backyard were all too familiar with Chu Yunxuan’s silhouette, recognized him imdiately.

Looking again at the woman, with that frail shadow, surely it’s not Jiang Lai. Looking around, other wives were present, who exactly is Chu Yunxuan hugging and kissing!

The won were both angry and puzzled, and hid behind the pavilion waiting.

Seeing Zhao Ziyuan walk out hand in hand with Chu Yunxuan, the won went ballistic.

"What a little wench!! Actually ssing around with His Highness!"

"Didn’t His Highness say he’s devoted to the Prince Consort? How is he now doing this with an unnad and unranked woman!"

Chun Niang had already switched sides, and upon hearing this directly said.

"Do you really think His Highness likes the Prince Consort? This woman and the Prince Consort are completely different kinds!"

Yes, one is skinny, one is plump, even with diverse tastes, wouldn’t directly skip over us, who are more balanced, and go for extres right?

Moreover, seeing the Prince Consort’s daily gloomy appearance, doesn’t look like a woman who’s cherished every day.

"Oh heavens, could it be that this woman is truly the one His Highness likes? Looks like she was here before the Prince Consort married!"

Chun Niang continued stirring.

"Who knows, the Prince Consort may just be a cover, His Highness is openly favoring the Prince Consort, but secretly visits this woman’s quarters!

This woman seems to be of low status, can’t step into the lilight, dissatisfied being just a lady, so she beca a healer, staying openly in the mansion, controlling the Prince Consort’s health under the guise of nursing her body!"

Makes sense, makes sense!

"Moreover, this way, she deflects our attention to the Prince Consort, while she enjoys good days every day!"

Chun Niang’s mission complete, said as she felt indignation.

This was taught by the Prince Consort.

At first, she wondered why she had to say these things, now she understands, the Prince Consort has a hard life this past year, completely manipulated by that wretched woman!

Won suddenly enlightened, feeling used as cats and dogs, every ti they heard that healer say she’s only managing the Prince Consort’s health, they’d envy His Highness’s bias, specially hiring a healer for Jiang Lai.

Now it seems, this wretch purposefully held Jiang Lai before them as a target!

Among the won present, whose family doesn’t have so influence, connected behind the scenes with Chu Yunxuan’s power.

They are also aware of their role, living comfortably, fearlessly in the mansion.

Though not as good as Jiang Lai, they at least have good food and drinks, life not worse than back ho.

But now realizing that they truly are less than an unnad, low-status healer, how could they tolerate it.

Next morning, waking up, Jiang Lai heard Little Buding eagerly reporting in her ear.

"There’s drama, Zhao Ziyuan is going to suffer."

"Hmm, what did those won do?"

"Chu Yunxuan has been summoned to the palace, now no one to protect Zhao Ziyuan, the wives in the backyard are showing their prowess."

Excitent rivaling a grand series.

Jiang Lai wasn’t in a rush to watch the commotion, rose and dressed, strolled idly in the courtyard, not fast, as long as it offers so exercise."
