The palace banquet ended prematurely due to what happened to Mrs. Zheng.
"Princess Tianlin, may I have a word with you in private?" the King of the Grassland called out to Mu Fengqie and Jing Xunche as they were walking on the official road.
"What do you want, King of the Grassland?" Jing Xunche stared at the king with a scowl. Was he getting so bold as to try to steal his girl right in front of him?
"I have something to say to Princess Tianlin." The king completely ignored Jing Xunche's gaze and stared straight at Mu Fengqie.
"Just say what you want to say directly, King of the Grassland. A Che is not an outsider." Mu Fengqie didn't take the king's suggestion. What was so secret that it had to be said privately? Couldn't it be said in front of everyone?
The king smiled at Mu Fengqie's reaction. "What I want to say is that I have feelings for the princess and I want to marry..." the princess.
Before the king could finish his sentence, Jing Xunche interrupted him. "The princess is aware of your feelings, Your Highness. I also know that Qie'er is very charming. It's normal for you to be infatuated with her. But Qie'er is already with me. So, Your Highness, you'd better look for someone else."
As he spoke, Jing Xunche put his hand on Mu Fengqie's waist in an intimate gesture, asserting his claim. Qie'er was already his, and this guy had come too late.
The king ignored what Jing Xunche said and just looked at Mu Fengqie, waiting for her answer.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I'm indeed already with A Che." Mu Fengqie squirmed uncomfortably, but Jing Xunche quickly tightened his grip, leaving her unable to move. Helpless, she had no choice but to give in.
"It doesn't matter. I don't mind. I can wait for you." Without even looking at Jing Xunche's extremely dark face, the king left.
"Don't take it to heart. I have no feelings for that king at all." Mu Fengqie sighed helplessly as she watched Jing Xunche sulking. Why was he so lacking in confidence? He was a handsome man after all.
"Qie'er, why do so many people have their eyes on you?" Jing Xunche hugged Mu Fengqie pitifully, seeking comfort.
"You have the nerve to say that about me. You're the same. Don't think I didn't notice. The second miss of the Zheng family has feelings for you." Mu Fengqie started to bring up old scores when she looked at Jing Xunche.
He'd been careless! Jing Xunche had forgotten that there was still the second miss of the Zheng family to deal with. Damn it! There were always people ruining his good times.
"Qie'er, I don't like her. You can't wrong me."
"I don't like the King of the Grassland either, so you can't wrong me either." Mu Fengqie threw the same words back at Jing Xunche, leaving him speechless. He sat there sulking on his own.
Mu Fengqie took a look at Jing Xunche but didn't go to console him. It was okay for him to be jealous once in a while, but if he was always jealous for no reason, how was she supposed to live?
So the two of them returned to the mansion like this. Jing Xunche was extremely heart - sore when he saw that Mu Fengqie didn't console him along the way. It was all the fault of the King of the Grassland and the second miss of the Zheng family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ignored by Qie'er!
At this time in the Zheng Mansion...
"You bitch! I'll write the divorce letter right away. From now on, we're done!" After returning, Lord Zheng slapped Mrs. Zheng across the face. He never expected that she would do such a thing.
"Master, you have to believe me. I'm being framed. How could I do such a thing?" Ignoring the pain on her face, Mrs. Zheng crawled on her knees to Lord Zheng's feet and grabbed his trouser legs, begging for mercy non - stop.
She didn't want to be divorced. What would happen to her two daughters then?
"Master, please spare me for the sake of our two daughters." Having no other choice, Mrs. Zheng had to play the emotional card, hoping that Lord Zheng would spare her for the sake of their daughters.
"If you hadn't mentioned them, I would have really forgotten. I'm now very suspicious whether they're really my children!" Lord Zheng stared at Mrs. Zheng with a menacing look. Anyone would feel uncomfortable seeing their wife in bed with another man.
Moreover, Lord Zheng was already tired of Mrs. Zheng. Now that her family's usefulness was over, it was just what he wanted to divorce this woman using this opportunity.
"Master, how could you think like that? They're really your daughters." Mrs. Zheng never expected that Lord Zheng would suspect that their daughters weren't his children. For a moment, she felt extremely disheartened.
"We'll know after I test them." Soon, Lord Zheng summoned the eldest and second miss of the Zheng family, and everyone who heard the news also followed.
Everyone was gloating, especially the concubine that Lord Zheng favored the most recently. Mrs. Zheng had given her a hard time on many occasions. It was really gratifying to see her in such a state.
"Master, it's better to find someone you trust the most to do this. What if..." She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.
"She wouldn't dare!" Lord Zheng said so, but still found one of his secret guards to do it. Among all the people in the mansion, no one was more trustworthy than his secret guards.
The eldest miss of the Zheng family didn't hesitate when she saw the bowl being brought over. She directly dropped a drop of her blood into it. She believed that she was definitely her father's daughter.
But after Lord Zheng's blood was dropped in, she was completely stunned.
How could this be? It was impossible!
"Oh~ It turns out that the eldest miss isn't our master's child." The concubine laughed heartily when she saw the eldest miss. It was really the will of heaven.
"Impossible... It can't be. I'm my father's child!" The eldest miss refused to believe it and dropped another drop of her blood in, but it still didn't fuse. Then, she unwillingly took the second miss's hand and dropped a drop of her blood in.
Surprisingly, the second miss's blood fused with Lord Zheng's. The second miss let out a sigh of relief when she saw this result.
Thank goodness she was her father's daughter. It was just that her elder sister wasn't.
Looking at the eldest miss, Mrs. Zheng suddenly fell into memories. She wasn't a virgin when she married Lord Zheng. She had found someone to replace her on their wedding night, and the woman had been dealt with the next day. That was why Lord Zheng never suspected that she wasn't a virgin.
She never expected that after all these years, her eldest daughter would be found not to be his child. What should she do...
Lord Zheng felt dizzy when he saw the result. This bitch had really cuckolded him!
"Someone! Lock this bitch in the wood - shed. No one is allowed to give her food or water without my permission!"
