Chapter 175 - 173: Praying for Blessings for Brother Lu Ying
Shen Xinglei’s eyes suddenly widened. "You... what did you just say?"
"I said, over the past year, Lu Ying has been keeping a lover hidden away in his golden house. And the person he hid wasn’t someone else—it was me."
Shen Yinning smiled serenely, "Back when my family was raided, I climbed onto Lu Ying’s bed in the dead of night, made him addicted to me to the point he couldn’t forget, even after marrying Shen Yunxi. Otherwise, do you think, Second Cousin, that I returned from Gan State relying on that idiot Gao Zheng? Of course not. It was Lu Ying who sent people to Gan State to arrange a fake marriage between me and Gao Zheng, then used Gao Zheng’s appointment to a government post in the Capital to smuggle me back here."
The young woman was stunningly beautiful.
Her words and gestures were lively and graceful, her brows carrying an air of happiness, as if recounting a touching love story.
Shen Xinglei’s face turned red and his neck thickened. He panted like a raging bull, "You shameless wench! How dare you betray Xi’er and seduce the Crown Prince! Our family will never let you get away with this—"
He wanted to lunge at Shen Yinning, but the Hidden Guards holding chains around his neck pressed him firmly to the ground.
Shen Xinglei’s eyes turned bloodshot. His gaze twisted toward Shen Yinning, filled with savagery. "What good is seducing the Crown Prince? In the end, you’re just a sordid Forbidden Fruit that can’t see the light of day! Your father and brother died on the execution platform, and you will too one day! Hahaha! If you’re smart, let me out now, and maybe I’ll plead with my brother and sister on your behalf for a whole corpse."
Shen Yinning regarded him with cold eyes.
The deaths of her father and brother were wounds in her heart that would never heal.
