The Cold-Blooded Prince's Seductive Consort

  The next morning, Shui Lian Yue and the four madams were having breakfast when they suddenly heard footsteps in the courtyard. Hong Niang was the first to go out and found that it was Wu Guan Jia who had arrived with many servants, coming straight towards the house.

  Hong Ying saw the situation and thought that Wu Guan Jia was causing trouble for Miss again, so she stretched out her arm to block his way. Her eyebrows rose in anger as she shouted: "Wu Guan Jia, what are you trying to do by bringing so many people to Lan Xiang Pavilion at such an early hour?"

  Wu Guan's eyes were filled with disdain as he glanced at Hong Ying, then pushed away her blocking arm. He snorted and sneered: "If you want to keep something secret, don't do it yourself. Your young mistress has done something shameful that can't be hidden from others. Don't think others are unaware, now the whole city knows. The master is furious and ordered me to come and interrogate the fourth miss. You stinky girl, if you dare block my way again, I won't be polite."

  As soon as Wu Guan's voice fell, Shui Lian Yue suddenly appeared in front of him, still with a calm and serene expression, still with an air of coldness around her. She quietly looked at Wu Guan's face full of smug smile, and lightly opened her vermilion lips to say: "As for the things that happened back then, no matter what the cause, process or development was, I think Wu Guan must be clearer about it than anyone else from start to finish?"

  Wu Guanjia was also a man who had seen the world, following Shui Yunheng on his travels south and north for many years. After the Shui family settled down in the capital, he became the manager of the Shui household, and was extremely pleased with himself.

  But as soon as he faced Mo Yue, he would feel uneasy all over, and didn't even dare to look her in the eye, let alone get close to her.

  Wu Guanjia shuddered, took two steps back, although he had expected Shui Lianyue to say something like this, but still looked a bit pale. He dryly laughed twice and said: "Fourth Miss, you've said so yourself, what have you done that I, an old slave, would know? Now, rumors are spreading everywhere, the whole city is talking about it, Master is furious, and wants me to invite Fourth Miss over for questioning."

  The weak one, with just a few words, would clear up everything, which was somewhat unexpected for Shui Lian Yue.

  The fourth lady, with the support of Cui Cui, also came out of the house and stood beside Wu Guanjia, listening to her daughter's conversation with Wu Guanjia. She was puzzled and furrowed her brow, anxiously asking Wu Guanjia: "May I ask, Guanjia, what exactly happened? Yue'er has always been obedient and law-abiding, how could there be anything untoward happening? You can't just make this up."

  Wu Guanjia looked at the Fourth Mistress and didn't even pay respects, instead straightening his back. "Fourth Mistress, in these three years since the Fourth Miss went missing, where did she go? You, don't you know anything?"

  "Less talk, lead the way."

  Before Wu Guanjia could finish speaking, Shui Lianyue suddenly shouted, startling everyone. Wu Guanjia's body trembled slightly and he stopped talking to the fourth madam. He waved his hand at the servant behind him and looked at Shui Lianyue again, "Fourth Miss, please."

  The fourth wife didn't understand what was going on and could only watch as her daughter followed Wu's housekeeper away. Thinking about it, she felt that something was going to happen, making her restless. In the end, she took Xiaocui with her and followed them too.

  Shui Lianyue followed Wu Guanjia to the front yard, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Shui Yunheng with a furious expression, slightly pale, obviously enraged. Before she could even pay her respects, she felt a gust of wind in front of her eyes, "slap", a palm print appeared on her cheek.

  She felt a burning pain on her cheek, then calmed down, but her fists were clenched in her sleeves. As Shui Yunheng's palm came again, she dodged quickly. Shui Yunheng was furious that she had dodged and pointed at her, shouting: "You... you cheap woman, I'll kill you today!" After finishing speaking, Shui Yunheng waved his hand towards the door, and in an instant, four or five house slaves rushed in, holding clubs in their hands.

  "Master, master, you can't do this! Moon is your daughter!", before the housekeeper could act, Fourth Madam took a step forward and knelt beside Shui Yunheng, wailing and pleading: "Master, what's going on? Weren't things fine just yesterday? Moon is your own flesh and blood, how...how can you do this?"

  "Look at the good daughter you've raised! She's only been back for two days and has already caused so much trouble. Do you know or not, I'm now too ashamed to leave the house? The reputation of our Water family has been ruined by this worthless woman... She was missing for three years and it turns out she was in a brothel, and those rumors outside have spread throughout the entire capital. Who doesn't know that I, Water Yunheng, have a daughter who spent three years in a brothel and learned all sorts of seductive tricks? Ah, how am I supposed to explain this to Prince Wang or the Emperor? The crime of deceiving the ruler is punishable by the destruction of nine clans!"
