Chapter 835 Revenge
Chapter 835 Revenge
Just as Nanny Li was about to report to the princess, she saw from afar a group of people, both men and women, rushing towards the eldest lady's yard in the backyard. Her scalp suddenly went numb, and she hurried back, wanting to hide the eldest lady first.
When she quickly returned to the eldest lady's room, she found that He Li had already put on her clothes, except for her shoes.
"Miss!" Madam Li called out as she helped her put on her shoes. "Get dressed quickly! Someone's coming!"
He Li's face was now filled with grief and anger, and her already pale complexion became even paler. She trembled and asked, "What on earth happened today? Where is the eldest princess?"
Nanny Li hurriedly said, "He probably ran away a long time ago! Miss, you must not panic now. The prince has fainted. You can say that the prince came to visit you and fainted. Don't say anything else. After sending him away, we will investigate this matter thoroughly."
He Li calmed himself down, looked at the bed, and said angrily, "Put some clothes on him. I'll go out and wait."
Nanny Li had no choice but to quickly dress Prince Ding. In her haste, she didn't dress neatly. Still worried about what the prince might say if he suddenly woke up, she hardened her heart and took out the Wusishui (Silence-Free Water) and fed it to him.
Once a person drinks the Wusi Water, some of their recent memories will be erased. Nanny Li can't care about so many things now. The most important thing is to deal with the current mess first.
When the crowd came over, they saw that there were not many people in the yard. There was only a pale and weak-looking little girl sitting in the room, looking outside with an expressionless face.
"How can there be any adultery here? Isn't she just the eldest daughter of the mansion?"
There were inevitably sounds of disappointment from the crowd. He Jinan, who came along with them, frowned. He looked into the room and saw only darkness. His so-called cousin was sitting inside and showed no signs of wanting to come out to greet the guests.
Princess Ding hurried forward to stop everyone, "Please don't gather here! These are all rumors. Don't believe them!"
A cold voice rang out from the crowd: "Whether it's just a rumor or not, we can find out if we send a few people in to take a look."
He Jinan felt that the voice was familiar. He turned around and saw that it was indeed the eldest princess. However, He Xuan's face looked very cold, as if there was a sense of revenge?
He Jinan frowned. This eldest sister was usually the kindest, so why was she so angry now? Could it be that someone had offended her? Or was she concerned about the reputation of her cousin in Prince Ding's mansion?
When people saw that the person speaking was the eldest princess, they all made way for her to go inside.
Princess Ding's face turned pale in an instant. She stared at the eldest princess intently and opened her mouth: "Eldest Princess, why are you here?"
As soon as she said that, Princess Ding regretted it. She shouldn't have asked.
The eldest princess sneered, "Oh, I saw so many people coming here, so I followed them. This courtyard is the residence of the eldest daughter of Prince Ding's mansion. Now, there are rumors that a man from outside the palace has entered here and is trying to commit improper acts. If we don't investigate on the spot, the eldest daughter He Li's reputation will be completely ruined. As He Li's grandmother, the princess should consider her."
"Yes, yes. A woman's reputation is the most important thing. We can't just let it go like that."
"I can help you go in and see who the thief is."
"I'm going too. How can I be left out of the adultery?"
Everyone's blood was boiling with excitement, and they didn't notice Princess Ding's expression of rejection at all. The ladies of three or four families had already walked directly into the house.
"Get out! All of you, get out! Get out now!"
In the room, He Li, who had been trying to remain calm, could no longer hold back and began to roar excitedly.
But she was thin and weak, and could not stop these strong ladies at all.
The princess also hurriedly sent people to stop them, but it was useless because they had already gone into the inner room.
"Ah--" Soon, a cry of surprise came from inside, followed by several ladies running out in a disorderly manner.
"How is it? Did they catch him? Who is that man?" someone asked curiously.
"How could it be Prince Ding? Grandfather is sleeping in his granddaughter's room!"
"This, this, this is completely uncivilized and immoral!"
Princess Ding's body swayed and she almost fell, but was supported by Nanny Fang beside her.
Nanny Li came out and shouted, "How can you say such nonsense? My prince came to visit the eldest lady and felt dizzy and fainted, so he rested in her room for a while. How can it be spread into such a shameful thing? The ladies just saw that our prince was dressed neatly and there was nothing wrong with him!"
The ladies who entered looked at each other, and one of them said, "It is true that his clothes are neat, but they are a little uneven. But...it is hard to say that anything really happened."
Nanny Li noticed a slight change in the wind and sent a look towards He Li. He Li understood immediately and said, "Grandfather has just recovered from a serious illness. When he heard that I was not feeling well today, he did not go to the front to receive the guests and came to visit me. Unexpectedly, Grandfather fainted later, so I had to send him back inside. You are imagining things and almost ruined the reputation of our Dingwang Mansion."
He Li's explanation dispelled the doubts of most people, but He Xuan had no intention of letting them go.
"Since you're feeling unwell, He Li, let's ask the court doctor to take a look. He can also check on Prince Ding. With so many of us crowded in the yard and talking loudly, he hasn't regained consciousness. I'm afraid his condition is quite serious."
The eldest princess's proposal instantly resonated with people, and people began to talk about the word "government doctor".
"What? Princess Ding doesn't want to save the prince?" Seeing that Princess Ding didn't move at all, He Xuan provoked her.
The others also looked at Princess Ding instantly with puzzled expressions.
How could Princess Ding dare call for the court physician at this moment? He always took strong tonic pills during his sexual activity, which always required an hour of rest. Even though he was unconscious, his internal health was evident. Princess Ding didn't dare take any chances, so she vehemently denied the request, saying, "My prince will be fine after just a lie down. There's no need to bother the court physician. Let's all go to the front yard first. Why are we all crowded here?"
He Xuan glanced at He Li, then at Nanny Li, and said, "You guys in Prince Ding's Mansion are really strange. You don't see a doctor when you're sick. Are you hiding your illness or is there something you're hiding that makes you afraid to see a doctor? It's hard not to think too much."
"Could it be that the ladies didn't see clearly just now, and there are other people inside?" He Jinan spoke up to support He Xuan.
He could see that the eldest princess refused to give up today and vowed to find a doctor to find out the truth. Her purpose was not really to care about the health of Prince Ding and his grandchildren, but to reveal something.
Having grown up together, he knew his eldest sister very well. Normally, his eldest sister was kind and noncompetitive, but she was furious today. Something must have happened to anger her.
