After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 235 The Aroma of Wine

She went straight to Yun Shuning's Treasure Garden. As soon as she entered the house, she knelt on the ground with a plop and slapped herself twice: "Miss, Lian'er made a mistake, please punish me!"

Pretend to fight again.

As the young lady's personal maid, considering how much Young Master Yun loves the young lady, he would never punish her severely. But she couldn't get over it in her heart.

Ultimately, it was because she was not vigilant enough that such serious consequences occurred.

Yun Shuning had never seen Lian'er lose her composure like this before, so she quickly grabbed her hand and said, "What happened? Why did you hit me?"

Lian'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and with tears in her eyes, she choked up and told Yun Shuning everything that had just happened.

Yun Shuning's eyes grew darker as he listened, and he finally said coldly, "If that's the case, this matter has nothing to do with you. The one who has the real problem is the one who poured the wine into the pool. Come on, follow me to the main hall."

"But today is the young lady's family reunion banquet. If something like this happens, will it cause others to talk about the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?" Lian'er was a little worried.

Yun Shuning sneered, "Talking about the Zhenguo Mansion? They are not qualified! Moreover, it is precisely because it is the Zhenguo Mansion that they can take revenge and complain so openly. Let's go!"

Seeing her so determined, Lian'er stopped hesitating and trotted after her.

At the same time, Sun Lingyi had also returned to her seat. Lin Yujiang glanced at her and frowned: "Where have you been? Why do you smell so much of alcohol?"

Sun Lingyi straightened her clothes and rolled her eyes: "What does it have to do with you? I've been drinking, so of course I smell like alcohol. Don't you smell like alcohol too?"

Pretending to cover up, she took another sip of the wine on the table and said angrily, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The banquet has already started for so long. You should quickly apologize to Madam Yun."

"Of course I know." Lin Yujiang took a sip of tea and was about to get up when she saw Yun Shuning coming back from the courtyard, followed by a little maid with red eyes.

Sun Lingyi glanced at her from the side, and her body immediately trembled almost imperceptibly.

She turned her head and pretended not to see Yun Shuning and Lian'er.

Yun Shuning stepped into the hall, glanced coldly at Sun Lingyi, then quickly stepped forward and said in a clear voice: "Dad, Mom, something big has happened in our house."

"What happened?" Song Rao stood up from her seat upon hearing this, and checked Yun Shuning from head to toe. After confirming that she was not injured, she said in a soft voice, "Ning'er, tell me in detail."

"Lian'er."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lian'er knelt on the ground and told the whole story in a leisurely manner. At the end, she pointed at Sun Lingyi and said, "It was her. She said she had sprained her ankle and asked me to get the medicinal wine. She also told me to put down the wine jar and come back quickly. But when I came back, I saw the wine jar overturned by the pond, poisoning all the koi in the pond."

"What did you say?! All the koi in the pond are dead?"

Yun Yan's face was as cold as ice. He stood up from his seat and glanced at Sun Lingyi coldly: "Do you know that the koi fish in the pond were obtained by me from the Buddhist Sound Temple, transported thousands of miles back to the capital, and I ordered people to dig for several days day and night to turn the pond water into a hot spring and nurture them with great care?!"

Sun Lingyi was stunned and felt uneasy. She stiffened her neck and pretended to be innocent and said loudly, "Where did you come from, you slut? How dare you frame me? I have never been to the pond, I didn't sprain my foot, and I didn't ask you to get any medicinal wine!

Since you said I did it, you should produce evidence instead of just making empty statements and pushing your fault onto me. I am not someone who will take the blame!

In my opinion, this Zhenguogong Mansion is nothing special. A lowly maid dares to be so arrogant. She really lacks discipline!"

She deliberately prolonged the tail end of the note, snorted coldly, and her face was full of disdain.

Her loud voice, coupled with her arrogant and confident expression, made people feel for a moment that she was really being wronged.

But Lin Yujiang beside her knew that this was not false.

She could feel that Sun Lingyi's body was trembling slightly, and her loud voice was just to cover up her guilty conscience.

She clenched her fists slightly. Even if she showed up, she couldn't change anything at the moment. It was better to protect herself.

Although she would be beaten and punished by her husband and mother-in-law when she returned home, at least her reputation would not be ruined in front of outsiders.

Sun Lingyi secretly stabbed her several times, but Lin Yujiang pretended nothing happened and did not react at all. Sun Lingyi was so angry that her cheeks turned red and her sleeves trembled without wind.

Apart from the people in the Shangshu Mansion, Lian'er had never seen such a shameless person. She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, but due to her lack of vocabulary, she could not say anything to refute. She could only point at Sun Lingyi and said hatefully: "You, you!"

"You, what do you mean by you? If you can't produce any evidence, then apologize to me! Kneel on the ground and slap yourself ten times, then lick my shoes clean, and I will forgive you and not pursue the matter."

Sun Lingyi became more and more arrogant as she spoke. Seeing that everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion had gloomy faces, she became even more excited: "Why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that the Zhenguo Mansion wants to help a lowly maid bully others by taking advantage of her power?"

Yun Yan's eyes were gloomy, his cheeks moved, the veins on his forehead were visible, and he was almost unable to suppress the anger in his body.

If Sun Lingyi wasn't a woman, he would have rushed up and taught her a lesson with his fists.

Song Rao stared at Sun Lingyi coldly, curled the corners of her lips, and was about to speak to clarify when she heard a sarcastic chuckle in the silent hall.

"Ah!"

Yun Shuning walked a few steps towards Sun Lingyi, then suddenly quickened her pace, grabbed her wrist and said, "Miss Sun said my maid was lying, so why don't you explain it to me? If you didn't do it, why do you smell like wine on your fingertips?"

A look of surprise flashed across Sun Lingyi's face. She quickly pulled her hand back to cover her mouth. Her eyes were erratic and she said breathlessly, "Of course...Of course it's because I drank."

Yun Shuning was smiling from beginning to end, and her smile widened when she heard her words.

She tilted her head slightly, her jade-like face drawing a flowing arc in the golden sunlight: "Oh, where did Miss Sun drink the wine?"

Her voice was so gentle and pleasant that it instantly softened everyone's heart and body.

Lin Yujiang was quick to sense something and was about to secretly remind Sun Lingyi. As soon as her hand touched her knee, Sun Lingyi blurted out in a soft voice, "What are you talking about? Of course, you drank it at your table. Look, isn't the wine on this table daughter's red wine?"

Lin Yujiang's outstretched hand froze and her face turned pale.

Except for her, everyone in the hall let out a faint laugh.

Sun Lingyi didn't understand what was going on. Her eyes were a little dazed and her heart skipped a beat.

Did she say something wrong?
