Chapter 36 Who Gave You These Cherries
Shen Yunxi sneered at him disdainfully: "You are Yin Shanshan’s husband? Do you know you’re practically a cuckold already? That shameless wench Yin Shanshan dared to seduce the Crown Prince! I’m taking her away now. Don’t worry, I won’t kill her—just make her wish she were dead!"
Gao Zheng knelt on one knee, holding Yin Shanshan in his arms in distress. "Your Highness, Shanshan doesn’t even know the Crown Prince. How could she possibly seduce him? You’ve misunderstood!"
"Seems Lord Gao is still in the dark," Shen Yunxi sneered coldly, "which only proves how vile this wench truly is. Rest assured, Lord Gao, I’ll help you vent your anger as well. Someone, take this wretch Yin Shanshan away!"
Just as two matrons were about to step forward, Matron Zhang suddenly interjected, "Hold on."
Shen Yunxi looked furious. "Matron Zhang?!"
Matron Zhang pointed at Yin Shanshan and said softly, "This woman is plain-looking and of low status, while the Crown Prince possesses unparalleled grace and nobility. It’s unlikely he’d be charmed by someone like her. I suspect there’s more to this than meets the eye."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunxi furrowed her brows tightly. "Matron, are you suggesting that Yin Shanshan isn’t the seductress?"
Matron Zhang fixed her gaze on Yin Shanshan and sternly questioned, "Wretched servant, where did the cherries in your shop come from?!"
Yin Shanshan curled up in Gao Zheng’s embrace.
Her face was covered in blood, but her mind was still clear as her body trembled uncontrollably.
