Chapter 68 Evening
Here, Wan Jinlan and Princess Anyang left the mansion in disguise, and are now in a house in Xinghua Lane.

According to Ma Xing's report, Chen Congbai was not on duty today, and came to Zhang Jia's residence after getting up in the morning.

When the two came, Chen Congbai hadn't left yet.

Wan Jinlan rented out the yard next to the small courtyard where Zhang Jia lived.

Between the alleyways, an inconspicuous small hole was dug in the wall at night, and one could lie down on it to see the situation inside.

An Yang watched helplessly as Chen Congbai and Zhang Jiawan had lunch under the tree in the courtyard like husband and wife, the two were as intimate as a family.

Chen Congbai would personally wipe the corners of Zhang Jia's lips, pass her a water glass, fill her tank with water, repair broken swing ropes for her, and do all the trivial things for her.

He was obviously a son of a wealthy family, but he did things for another woman that a man from an ordinary family would do.

That was Chen Congbai who Anyang had never seen before.

"Let's go, let's go back home." Princess Anyang clenched her fists tightly.

Anyang's heart was astringent, she thought she had met her beloved, but she didn't expect that he was a liar.

"If the person in his heart is not me, why did he say he wants to take me away? He is not afraid that I will agree to him in desperation!"

Wan Jinlan said: "Maybe he expected that you would not abandon your aunt and leave alone."

"I won't spare him!"

After returning to the mansion, I realized that Xiao Minghuan and Wan Qiuyu had been here for a long time.

The two of them had just walked into the reception hall, and just as they sat down, Wan Qiuyu knelt down in front of them.

"I was deceived by the lard at the palace banquet that day. Because I was jealous of the third sister and wanted to make things difficult for the third sister, I used all means to lure the princess and the third sister to Yifang Pavilion."

"I hope that the princess and the third younger sister will ignore the fault of the villain and forgive me this time."

Wan Qiuyu knelt down humblely, her tone was sincere, but her fists clenched tightly in her sleeves were tightly clenched.

She swears that sooner or later, she will pay back the shame of today several times.

Xiao Minghuan looked apologetic, "Anyang..."

Princess Anyang interrupted him. She stood up and asked with a cold face, "I just want to ask third brother, do you know that Chen Congbai has a concubine? Do you know that he once wanted to marry that woman?"

"Third brother, are you trying to use me to win over him by connecting me with him? Exchange me for money from the Chen family, right?"

Wan Jinlan was surprised that Princess Anyang could think of this level.

Xiao Minghuan looked shocked, with panic in the shock, "Chen Congbai has an outside room? Is there any misunderstanding? I really don't know, Anyang, don't misunderstand the third brother."

Anyang snorted coldly, "There is no misunderstanding. I saw it with my own eyes. In the future, my third brother won't have to bring him to me to be sweet and coquettish. My marriage won't bother my third brother, and you don't have to introduce me to these golden jades anymore." Those who are corrupt on the outside and have evil intentions on the inside will win over you."

"It was for my own good that I was still the third brother. I didn't expect the third brother to use me as a pawn."

Xiao Minghuan was speechless when he was blocked, seeing Anyang's angry face turned red with cursing, he said angrily: "I went to find him to settle the score, he was the one who told me that I was interested in you, and I saw that he was sincere, so I was willing to match him up. Don't get me wrong, sister."

Anyang sneered, flung his sleeves and left the flower hall.

Xiao Minghuan smiled wryly, and looked at Wan Jinlan, "Sister Jinlan, you have to explain to Anyang for me, how could I push the people in the outer room to Anyang's side."

But Wan Jinlan said: "Your Highness, please go out and wait for a while, I have something to talk to my side concubine."

Xiao Minghuan looked around the two of them, then nodded.

Even the people in the flower hall were waved back by Wan Jinlan.

Wan Qiuyu didn't want to continue kneeling in front of Wan Jinlan in embarrassment, so she simply got up.

"I have no grievances or enmities with you, what did you do to me?"

Wan Qiuyu bit her lip, "I said it because of jealousy."

Wan Jinlan snorted coldly, "You were the one who sent that letter back then, telling me that Xiao Minghuan set up a trick to get engaged to me."

Wan Qiuyu was taken aback, she didn't expect Wan Jinlan to be so perceptive.

"I don't know what you're talking about, what letter?"

Wan Jinlan smiled lightly, "The messenger appeared near Prince Duan's mansion a few days ago. Today, my people detained him. Do you want to come with me to see him?"

"As soon as I checked his household registration, I knew it. If I didn't expect it, he should be from Yangzhou. After all, his accent is quite obvious."

Wan Jinlan paid attention to Wan Qiuyu's expression, and seeing her nervous expression, she was sure that she was right.

That person is not in her hands at all, she is just cheating Wan Qiuyu.

If the concubine and aunt sent the eunuch to Duan Wang's residence, Xiao Minghuan would definitely bring Wan Qiuyu into the palace to plead guilty.

As soon as she returned to the mansion, she heard from the people in the mansion that Xiao Minghuan and the side concubine had been here for a long time, so Wan Qiuyu probably didn't have time to meet the messenger today.

"The side concubine is so strange, she seems to have the ability to predict the future."

"Since Chen Congbai has a loved one, why did he dare to ask Anyang to take her away at the moment when the two countries are negotiating a marriage, and still try to please her? If the matter is revealed, the entire Chen family will be implicated. He obviously has a loved one, but still Dare to do this, there are flaws everywhere." Wan Jinlan rubbed his chin, his eyes revealed a thoughtful look, and stared at Wan Qiuyu, "I guess someone told him for sure that Anyang would not be sent to marry him."

Wan Qiuyu swallowed nervously, and turned sideways, "Three younger sisters are guessing, what Chen Congbai said to Princess Anyang, the prince and I don't know, what the third younger sister said is nonsense, what will Princess Anyang do?" It is His Majesty who can decide not to be sent for marriage."

Wan Jinlan ignored her, as if affirming her previous remarks, and continued: "You let me avoid King Duan's calculations, and went back to the mansion by yourself, but managed to become King Duan's side concubine. I don't know that King Duan Do you know that it was you who played a role in it, which caused him not to be able to marry the eldest daughter of the duke's mansion as the concubine?"

"Thousands of miles away, you are in Yangzhou, but you can predict what will happen in Beijing, side concubine, can you explain why?"

Wan Qiuyu continued to speak stubbornly, clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Wan Jinlan curled her lips, "If I tell Prince Duan about the letter, I don't know how he will react, side concubine, I am looking forward to it."

Wan Qiuyu collapsed, and said angrily, "What do you want?"

At any other time, she wouldn't be afraid, but she just made a mistake, and it was the right time for Wang Minghui to enter the mansion, so she couldn't make her situation worse.

She couldn't let Xiao Minghuan know that it was because of her that he didn't marry Wan Jinlan.

If you tell others about that matter, no one will believe it, but Xiao Minghuan will definitely believe it!
Wan Jinlan shrugged, "I didn't think about it, but what can I do to you? But it's not so comfortable to be stared at in the dark to prevent being plotted against."

Wan Qiuyu panted, "I'll tell you something about King Qi, you and I are even this time."
