Chapter 177: Lin Wan’e’s Poison
“Brother Yuanli, I want to eat fish.”
Yin Yuanli carefully picked out the fish bones before placing the fish meat into her small bowl.
He didn’t feel very reassured even when an eunuch nearby wanted to help pick out the fish bones.
Qin Wanwan leaned gently on Yin Yuanli’s shoulder with a smile that curved her eyes.
“Brother Yuanli, you’re like my Daddy, hehe…”
The eunuchs and guards behind Yin Yuanli: ……………….
To have the Crown Prince pick out fish bones for her, and to say he’s like her father, there’s probably only this little ancestor in all of Tianqi who would dare.
The Tenth Prince glanced at his brother a few times.
“Ninth Brother, I want to eat fish too.”
He acted spoiled, mimicking Qin Wanwan’s way.
Yin Yuanli put on a stern little face: “Isn’t there anyone behind you?”
The Tenth Prince: “But I want to eat yours…”
Yin Yuanli picked out some fish meat for him: “Pick out the bones yourself.”
The Tenth Prince: ……………….
Favoritism, this is too much favoritism!
After eating, Qin Wanwan let out a satisfied burp.
Yin Yuanli then wiped her mouth clean for her again.
Qin Wanwan tilted her little head, this feeling was a bit familiar.
It was like a certain phoenix clan big brother she super liked when she was in the Heavenly Court.
That big brother also really liked to hold the little Qilin and feed her things, wiping her mouth when her little mouth got dirty.
“Burp~”
With a satisfied burp, the other children had basically also finished eating and were full.
The servants tidied up the dining table, and all the children in the room started chasing the beautiful big butterflies to aid digestion.
At this moment, Keke suddenly flew in from outside, almost crashing into Wolf Fang.
“Cub, it’s bad! Lin Wan’e, that shameless woman, drugged your father!”
Qin Wanwan: !!!
Qin Wanwan immediately perked up, shuffling her short legs and hugging Wolf Fang.
“Quick, quick, go find my Daddy.”
Bad guy, bad guy, big bad guy!
The little Qilin cursed Lin Wan’e many times in her heart.
The backyard of the Gu Family also became lively. When Wolf Fang carried Qin Wanwan over, a crowd was gathered at the door of a certain room.
Qin Wanwan cried out in worry.
“Daddy, where’s my Daddy?”
Just as the little one’s tears were pattering down, she was scooped up by a pair of hands and fell into a familiar embrace.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes were red, her little nose was red, and her curled eyelashes were still adorned with tiny teardrops.
She looked up and saw it was Daddy!
The little chubby cub instantly hugged her Daddy’s neck with lingering fear.
“Wuwuwu… Daddy, you, you scared me to death!”
Burying her little face tightly in her Daddy’s embrace, Qin Wanwan sniffled, then looked up again, her chubby paws touching his face, afraid Daddy would disappear.
Rong Zhi gently patted her back.
“Don’t be scared, the person inside isn’t me.”
Lin Wan’e’s target was indeed him, but Shang Wuyang’s people discovered her plan and informed his people in advance.
Rong Zhi then played along and had them bring the Third Prince over.
At this moment, the faces of the Gu family members were extremely grim.
For such a thing to happen during a birthday banquet, how could the hosts be in a good mood?
However, since the person inside was an Imperial Prince, they dared not punish anyone.
Fortunately, the girl who had the accident was not from the Gu family.
Seeing the woman being dragged out, a group of madams and young ladies started whispering.
“How is it Lin Wan’e?”
“The Gu family didn’t invite her, did they? How did she get in?”
“She’s wearing a maid’s clothes, heavens, could she have been so bold as to impersonate a maid to secretly meet the Third Prince for the sake of being with him…”
The latter few words were not spoken, but everyone understood.
Madam Gu’s expression was very displeased, but she still had to maintain appearances and apologize to everyone.
“My apologies, everyone. This is due to our Gu family’s lack of supervision that such a thing has happened. We’ve caused trouble for everyone.”
“This matter really has nothing to do with Madam Gu. I heard that some of the maids in your household were temporarily borrowed from outside. It’s likely that Lin Wan’e took advantage of this loophole to get in.”
The Gu family’s headcount is not considered large among the great families. The Gu family men’s backyards are also known to be clean and sparsely populated in Shangjing, so they normally employ few maids and elderly women.
This time, for Grand Tutor Gu’s sixtieth birthday banquet, they were short on staff, so they had no choice but to borrow some from their relatives’ homes.
No matter how capable Madam Gu is, there will always be mistakes with borrowed maids and elderly women.
Lin Wan’e also didn’t know how she got in.
After all, it involved the Third Prince, so everyone was somewhat restrained in their discussions.
However, they were not so polite towards Lin Wan’e.
Within a day, this matter would definitely be the talk of the entire aristocratic circle.
The one who felt most disgraced was the Minister of Rites.
Although he had already expelled her from his residence before, when Lin Wan’e was mentioned, people would still subconsciously associate her with Minister Lin.
Minister Lin was furious in his heart, feeling utterly disgraced.
What kind of sin had he committed to give birth to such a shameless daughter!
But he was also very relieved, relieved that he had already expelled her from his residence.
This matter did not implicate him much.
“How, how could this happen…”
At this moment, Lin Wan’e was still unwilling to accept the reality.
She clearly designed it for Chancellor Rong, why did it turn out to be the Third Prince?
Lin Wan’e’s eyes were red, and she felt like everyone around her was a demon.
She screamed and pushed through the crowd, and the people around her immediately scattered.
“Is she crazy?”
After Lin Wan’e rushed out, she saw Rong Zhi coaxing his daughter and ungracefully pounced towards him.
“It shouldn’t be the Third Prince, Rong Zhi, why didn’t you come, why wasn’t it…”
Rong Zhi, holding his child, raised his long legs and kicked Lin Wan’e flying.
“Miss Lin, have you perhaps lost your mind?”
He smiled, but his eyes were extremely cold.
“Third Prince, you should manage your own person.”
The Third Prince walked over with a dark expression, his gaze towards Lin Wan’e particularly fierce and humiliated.
What man would like it if his woman was infatuated with another man?
Especially when the person she was infatuated with was someone the Third Prince had always secretly envied, someone he had subtly imitated, and yet standing before him, she still seemed like a fake.
Who would have thought that he, an Imperial Prince, would be jealous of a minister?
“Chancellor Rong, don’t worry, this Prince will take her away now.”
The Third Prince had people take Lin Wan’e away, and there was no longer any need to continue the banquet.
Rong Zhi, holding Qin Wanwan, bid farewell to the Gu family and also left.
At the doorway, they encountered Yin Yuanli and several other young princes.
The Tenth Prince’s head poked out of the carriage window.
“Sister Wanwan, remember to make me a bicycle and a transforming weapon like yours.”
“I want one too, I want one too.”
The Eleventh Prince’s head also poked out.
The Twelfth Prince couldn’t squeeze out, being completely blocked by his two older brothers, and he stomped his feet anxiously.
Finally, he had a stroke of inspiration and ran out from the front of the carriage door.
“Wanwan, I want one too.”
Qin Wanwan gave them an OK gesture.
“Don’t worry, I remember everything.”
“Bye-bye, Brother Yuanli, I’ll write you a letter when I get back.”
Yin Yuanli stood with his hands behind his back, nodding. He looked much more steady than the other princes.
“Okay.”
