Chapter 79 - 78: Eastern Palace Concubine
After hearing Madam Zhang mention it, Shen Yunxi suddenly realized she seemed never to have met the Young Madam of the Gao Family.
She gritted her teeth, "Could the sly vixen seducing the Crown Prince be that Gao Family Young Madam?! Lianxin, go fetch Yin Shanshan immediately and tell her I want to question her!"
Initially, Shen Yunxi and Madam Zhang had both thought the vixen seducing Lu Ying was Ruizhu.
But even after beating Ruizhu to death, they hadn’t found that peculiar fragrant powder on her or in her quarters.
Therefore, Madam Zhang concluded the vulgar woman seducing the Crown Prince was someone else; Ruizhu was merely pretending.
When Yin Shanshan arrived, she thought she’d be beaten again.
To her surprise, Shen Yunxi only inquired about Shen Yinning.
Yin Shanshan scoffed, "Oh, you’re asking about that woman! She’s a native of Gan State, orphaned since childhood—a stiff, outdated feudal woman who can’t even manage accounts properly. I take care of everything in the household."
Shen Yunxi then asked, "What does she look like?"
Thinking of Shen Yinning’s breathtaking beauty, Yin Shanshan felt an unbearable jealousy and casually lied, "Ugly! Extremely ugly! Old and hideous! Because she’s so ugly, her husband never visits her chambers. Despite being married for years, she hasn’t borne any children! Nor does she have friends; she stays shut inside all day—utterly worthless!"
Shen Yunxi gestured for her to leave.
