Chapter 820 Why are you trying to take it from me?
When King Kang heard Wu Yue'er say that he had been framed, he still held a sliver of hope.
If he had been framed, it would at least be plausible, but when he heard that it was the Third Princess's sister-in-law who had framed him, he felt something was amiss.
It wasn't until he found something from the maid that he found it even more ridiculous that he had ever had any hope for Wu Yue'er. Not a single word that woman said was true!
Stealing the chicken is losing the rice!
With such a big matter, and with the Third and Fifth Princes present, it would be impossible to cover it up even if they wanted to.
"Wu Yue'er, you are absolutely outrageous!"
King Kang angrily threw down a sentence and walked out.
He had no interest in watching the chaotic scene inside any longer. Instead, he began to think about whether he could take this opportunity to get a divorce. Otherwise, with such a big green hat on his head, wouldn't he be laughed at for the rest of his life?
Chu Junting and the others naturally wouldn't stay inside forever, so they pulled Song Ruozhen out with them.
"Your Majesty, what happened today was all Wu Yue'er's fault. I would like to apologize to Your Majesty first."
Actually, I didn't want this marriage at first, but since my father bestowed it upon me, I had no choice but to marry her.
Prince Kang sighed and held up three fingers, saying, "I swear I knew nothing about this. If I had known she harbored such malicious thoughts towards my sister-in-law, I would have stopped her no matter what!"
Chu Junting remained noncommittal, then turned to look at Song Ruozhen, who said:
"King Kang, I understand your situation and know that this is certainly not what you want to see."
However, Wu Yue'er is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She initially wanted to marry Jun Ting, but because he married me, she saw me as a thorn in her side.
I thought she would tone it down after getting married, but I never expected her to keep bringing it up; it's really unsettling.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for believing in me!"
King Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the beautiful Song Ruozhen in front of him, and then thinking about the crazy Wu Yue'er, he felt that as long as his brother wasn't blind, either of the two would choose his sister-in-law!
Wu Yue'er was so eager to compete with her sister-in-law that she didn't even consider her own capabilities. Now that she's ended up like this, she deserves it!
"I will definitely handle this matter properly and give my sister-in-law an explanation."
Song Ruozhen nodded, feigning sadness. Chu Junting put his arm around his wife and said, "This is a family matter of your Kangwang Mansion, so we'll be leaving now."
"Brother, please take care."
After the three of them left the teahouse and got into the carriage, Chu Yungui couldn't help but laugh.
"Today's scene is truly explosive! I never imagined that Prince Liang and Wu Yue'er would get involved together!"
However, something seems a bit off. Prince Liang is as cunning as an old fox, and this teahouse is full of his men today. Logically, he shouldn't be in any trouble!
Chu Yungui felt that although the excitement was interesting, the situation seemed to be different from what he had imagined, and there was something strange about it.
“The fourth brother should know that the tea has been drugged, but he doesn’t care,” Chu Junting said coldly.
Song Ruozhen originally thought it was strange that the Prince of Liang had been drugged so easily. After all, someone as cunning as him would have been on guard long ago. But when she heard Chu Junting's words, she suddenly realized what was going on.
"You mean... the Prince of Liang knows there's a problem, but doesn't mind falling into the trap?"
“King Liang is a man, and no matter what happens, he will not suffer a loss. Besides, he is very clear about the significance of you being by my side.”
If this matter is resolved today, it will be entirely beneficial to him.
By the end, Chu Junting's fist was clenched. The King of Liang was truly resorting to any despicable means to win!
Chu Yungui hadn't expected things to be so complicated. He felt that Wu Yue'er had shot herself in the foot and dragged Liang Wang into it as well. They were the big winners today.
But now that he's realized the deeper meaning behind the whole thing, he feels a chill run down his spine.
"No wonder my brother is so angry, that Prince Liang is truly shameless!"
The only person my elder brother has ever loved all these years is my sister-in-law. He cherishes her like a treasure. If something like this were to happen, I simply can't imagine the consequences.
Song Ruozhen noticed that Chu Junting's mood was off, so she took his arm and said:
"Don't worry, I'm very smart. I'll tell you in advance whatever I'm planning to do, so they won't have any chance to take advantage of me!"
Chu Junting looked at the person beside him and smiled, "You are the smartest."
However, Song Ruozhen still noticed that although Chu Junting was speaking with a smile, he was clearly in a bad mood. But since the man was unwilling to talk about it, it was not convenient for her to ask now.
After being sent back to the Prince's residence, Chu Junting said he had other matters to attend to and left with Chu Yungui.
"Your Highness, I had a feeling that the Prince was murderous when he left."
Bai Zhi shrank her neck. Even though the prince always smiled when facing the princess, the aura he revealed when he turned his head just now was truly terrifying.
Song Ruozhen waved her hand, "I knew today was a trap, and I was prepared, but I didn't expect that Prince Liang would be even more shameless than I thought."
It's perfectly normal for the prince to be angry; it would be truly strange if he weren't.
She did a good job opening today; now it's up to the prince to take over the rest of the show!
"Let's go, we're just killing time anyway, let's go to the Song residence and see if my third brother and Miss Qingli have made any progress these days?"
Song Ruozhen thought for a moment, it had been a while since the misunderstanding was cleared up at the last lantern festival, and she wondered if there had been any progress.
On the way back to the Song residence, they happened to pass by the Song family teahouse and saw Chu Muyao and Ke Yuanzhi arguing.
"Miss Chu, you are a princess, what kind of man don't you have? Why do you have to compete with me?"
Ke Yuanzhi had originally held onto a sliver of hope, but after learning today that Song Jingshen was really with Chu Muyao, she felt utterly hopeless.
She used to be the apple of her family's eye, but ever since the marriage fell through and her behavior became public knowledge, no one wants to talk to her anymore.
She was eagerly waiting for Song Jingshen to change his mind. She believed that once he regained his memory, he would surely remember how much he had loved her before.
However, after waiting for so long, instead of getting the result he wanted, he received the news that he and Chu Muyao were together.
"What do you mean I'm going to fight you for it? It wasn't yours to begin with, and besides, I have no reason to fight you for it!"
Chu Muyao never liked Ke Yuanzhi. Before, it was because Ke Yuanzhi's relationship with Song Jingshen was still uncertain, so even if she was unhappy, she had no right to say it.
Unexpectedly, Ke Yuanzhi took the initiative to approach her today, and said such awful things. How could she possibly hold back?
"You were the one who wronged Jing Shen back then, always treating him like a money bag. Now he has long since cut ties with you, but you just refuse to give up."
