The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 97 Robbery of civilian girls

Ye Shijun doesn't dare to take Gu Simo back to the General's Mansion yet, so Gu Simo can only stay at the Prince Cheng's Mansion for now.

He couldn't accompany Gu Simo to the street, so he asked his younger sister to help buy clothes for Gu Simo.

Ye Shishu was naturally happy to agree.

The two women, carrying the silver, excitedly ran off into the street.

Inside the carriage, Ye Shishu asked, puzzled, "Second sister-in-law, with your status, why don't you take over the Gu family..."

She didn't say anything more, but instead made a throat-slitting gesture.

Gu Simo covered her mouth and chuckled, "I want to too, but there are rules in the pavilion that cannot be disobeyed. Gu Yong and the others hurt Gu Simo, which is their family matter. If I use Huaxiang Pavilion's abilities to take revenge, it will damage Huaxiang Pavilion's reputation. That's why I want to get rid of the identity of a Gu family girl."

Ye Shishu said, "If I were you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to follow the rules. Take the last time you were injured by Gu Yong, for example. Only you could endure such a serious injury."

Upon hearing this, Gu Simo suddenly lowered her head guiltily, "Actually, the injury that time wasn't too serious. The internal injuries were all faked by me."

Ye Shishu's lips twitched violently.

Well, her second sister-in-law is really smart!

Firstly, it tested whether the family had any compassion, and secondly, it made Gu Yong and Li Shi bear the reputation of being evil fathers and mothers.

It’s really high!

"Whoa!" Ninth Aunt, who was acting as the coachman, suddenly reined in the horse.

The carriage came to a sudden stop, and Ye Shishu lifted the curtain and asked, "Ninth Aunt, what's wrong?"

Before Ninth Aunt could speak, a woman's voice came, "Sister Shu, it's me."

Ye Shishu turned her head slightly, her eyes narrowing involuntarily.

The person who stopped their carriage was none other than Luo Lixian, who had entered the Eastern Palace and become a concubine!

No, she's still the Fifth Princess of Beilin Kingdom!

This really surprised her!

"Isn't Consort Luo serving the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace? Why are you out here?" Suppressing her disgust, she greeted him politely.

"Sister Shu, it's been so long, I've missed you. Would you do me the honor of catching up?" Luo Lixian was wearing her old clothes, her appearance and demeanor as gentle as ever.

Ye Shishu also acted generously and got off the carriage directly.

Gu Simo quickly followed.

"Who is this?" Luo Lixian asked curiously, staring at her.

"She is my friend Xin'er," Ye Shishu introduced calmly.

Gu Simo curtsied gracefully, "Xin'er greets Consort Luo."

Luo Lixian smiled slightly, "No need for formalities. This is not the Eastern Palace, Miss Xin'er, you don't need to be so formal. Besides, Sister Shu and I are good friends, and since you are Sister Shu's friend, you are naturally my friend as well."

A flash of disdain crossed Ye Shishu's eyes.

This woman is not only shameless, but she also has an incredibly large face!

However, upon closer reflection, it's understandable. After all, when she broke off her engagement with Wei Yonghuai, she didn't publicly implicate Luo Lixian. It's likely that Luo Lixian is unaware that she already knew about her illicit affair with Wei Yonghuai.

"Consort Luo, it's been a long time since we last met. We were hoping to find a place to have a good chat, but unfortunately, we have important business to attend to today. My lord is waiting for me to return, so I won't be able to keep you company any longer," Ye Shishu politely declined.

"Sister Shu..." Luo Lixian hesitated, her almond-shaped eyes inexplicably glistening with tears, "Because of Brother Huai, have you become estranged from me?"

Ye Shishu's expression stiffened slightly, and a coldness welled up in her eyes.

She will never forget the tragic life she suffered in her previous life because of their poisoning!

Originally, Luo Lixian's entry into the Eastern Palace was unexpected and prevented her from finding an opportunity for revenge. Who would have thought that this woman wouldn't keep a low profile and would instead deliberately come out to get in her way!

"Luo Liangdi, you are the adopted daughter of the Wei family, and you should be aware of my entanglements with the Wei family. If I were to become close to you again, not only would others gossip about me, but even my lord would suspect that I have ulterior motives for getting close to you. Therefore, it would be best if we had less contact in the future." With the memories of her previous life, Ye Shishu's tone also hardened.

"Sister Shu..." Luo Lixian was still not giving up, her eyes even reddening, looking aggrieved and on the verge of tears.

"Consort Luo!" Ye Shishu interrupted her coldly, "You are now the Crown Prince's Consort, and I am the Princess Consort of Cheng. You should stop calling me 'elder sister' from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Lixian's face showed embarrassment.

Although she was the Crown Prince's concubine, she was ultimately just a concubine.

Ye Shishu is the legitimate and proper wife of Prince Cheng.

To put it bluntly, whether in the past or now, she is not worthy of being called the sister of Ye Shishu!

"Your Highness, it is I who have overstepped my bounds." She bowed her head humbly and took several steps back.

Ye Shishu gave Gu Simo a wink, and the two of them immediately returned to the carriage.

Watching the carriage drive away, Luo Lixian changed her tearful and self-conscious expression and waved to someone behind her.

When an old woman approached her side, she said coldly, "I know Ye Shishu well. She can't possibly have any friends. That woman named Xin'er might be the person Your Majesty is looking for. As you can see, Ye Shishu isn't friendly to me right now. I can't get close to her. You can do as Your Majesty says."

In the past, if those people in the palace asked her to do something, she would definitely be apprehensive and try her best to do it well. But now it's different. She is the Fifth Princess of Beilin Kingdom, and even the Crown Princess has to treat her with respect. Even if she doesn't do a good job with the task assigned by Consort Lan this time, she doesn't have to worry about being punished!

The old woman glanced at her sideways, her eyes filled with displeasure.

What do you mean by "she can handle it herself"?

The Empress asked her to come out and get close to Ye Shishu, but instead of trying her best, she pushed the task onto Ye Shishu!

However, considering her status as the fifth princess of Beilin Kingdom, she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction.

……

"Second sister-in-law, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy anything today," Ye Shishu said apologetically.

Gu Simo smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll buy it next time. Today, staying alive is the priority!"

Ye Shishu listened to the sounds outside the small window and whispered to Ninth Aunt outside the curtain, "Ninth Aunt, there's no need to run so fast."

Ninth Aunt didn't even turn her head, but her tone couldn't hide her nervousness, "Your Highness, the other side has far more men than us, this servant must get rid of them quickly!"

"Don't go to places with few people!" Ye Shishu reminded him, half-laughing and half-crying. "Places with few people are more likely to make their move. If we don't want to fight them, we have to go to busy streets!"

Ninth Aunt paused slightly, then turned back and smiled at the curtain, "The Princess is right!"

Just around the corner was the bustling city center, and she immediately increased the speed of her whip cracking, "Giddy up—"

However, just as the carriage was about to reach the corner, a murderous aura suddenly descended from above—

Ye Shishu and Gu Simo frowned and burst out of the carriage through the small windows on either side!

At the same time, Ninth Aunt also leaped off her horse!

The three steadied themselves and saw seven or eight men in black land on the carriage. Two of them viciously stabbed their swords into the carriage from the roof!

Since the carriage was still moving, the group of people saw this and quickly flew back towards Ye Shishu and the other two.

Ye Shishu and the others dared not linger and immediately used their lightness skills to escape.

Especially when Ye Shishu saw a shop ahead, he ran away while shouting loudly—

"Help! Someone is trying to kidnap a young woman!"
