The Prince’s consort understood her son’s nature. The moment she let go, he would definitely lose control and be good to Sheng Mingzhu.
So, she had to take action too.
Therefore, in front of everyone, the Prince’s consort said something about being old and not wanting to manage affairs anymore, and also said that children have their own blessings.
In the future, any woman who could enter the Prince’s mansion, as long as her son liked her and she had good character, could enter regardless of her status or background…
This statement was like throwing a cartload of dynamite into a pond!
The women’s eyes were gleaming, and they quickly sent their servants to inform their daughters.
So, at this moment, the people who wanted to marry the Prince, besides the young ladies from prestigious families from before, also included many young ladies from humble families…
Some young ladies even felt that if they couldn’t be the principal wife, being a concubine was good too——
At this moment, nine out of ten young ladies attending the banquet at the Dong residence were bursting with joy, wishing they could immediately start a “timeless romance” with the Prince.
When these people saw the Prince’s attitude towards Sheng Mingzhu, they would absolutely hate to tear Sheng Mingzhu apart.
Unfortunately, Sheng Mingzhu didn’t know what had happened earlier.
Coming out from behind the rockery, Sheng Mingzhu hadn’t walked far before her face felt increasingly hot. She wanted to find a place to fix her makeup.
Unexpectedly, from a small path nearby, the people she hated suddenly appeared: Huang Yaning and Huang Xianjing.
At this moment, Huang Yaning really wanted to see Sheng Mingzhu.
Because just now, they heard a group of young ladies excitedly discussing what the Prince’s consort had said. After listening, Huang Yaning was stunned for a moment, then sent Qingtian to inquire.
After learning that the Prince’s consort had indeed said those words, Huang Yaning laughed so hard she bent over, almost unable to stop.
How could Huang Yaning not be happy?
In this life, for Sheng Mingzhu to enter the Prince’s mansion again, the difficulty level had at least skyrocketed a hundred times.
She laughed too maniacally, almost choking.
This made Huang Xianjing extremely anxious, and afraid others might see her and get a bad impression, she quickly pulled her and “fled” down a secluded path…
Huang Yaning had just stopped laughing when she unexpectedly ran into Sheng Mingzhu.
She saw tear stains on Sheng Mingzhu’s face, but her complexion was flushed, her heart was fluttering, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
Huang Yaning had been mother and daughter with Sheng Mingzhu for a lifetime in her previous life. She was too familiar with some of Sheng Mingzhu’s expressions.
That fluttering look meant she had definitely seen some man.
Huang Yaning looked at the rockery not far away, a glint flashing in her eyes…
The other party probably wasn’t Lin Zhijing.
Because if it were Lin Zhijing, there would be no need to find such a secluded place…
That person was most likely Zhu Qisheng, right?
As for the pride, it seemed Sheng Mingzhu was completely unaware of what had happened earlier…
“Seventh Sister, Cousin, why are you here?”
Sheng Mingzhu asked first, her voice a bit loud.
“Sixth Sister’s words are really interesting. You can be here, so why can’t we be here?”
“I just suddenly saw you and asked casually.”
Sheng Mingzhu replied, holding back her anger.
She had indeed panicked for a moment just now, afraid those two despicable girls had discovered something.
She wanted Brother Sheng to hear her words and leave from the other path behind the rockery, so she deliberately raised her voice.
Huang Yaning pretended to be puzzled.
“Cousin and I also suddenly saw Sixth Sister, but we didn’t react as excessively as Sixth Sister did. Sixth Sister is really different from the norm——
“But looking at Sixth Sister’s appearance, it seems like you were hiding behind that rockery crying?
“Or did you see someone behind the rockery and cry?
“Sixth Sister, are you okay?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Sheng Mingzhu’s anger instantly flared up, and at the same time, her heart was in her throat.
Seeing that the little despicable girl’s eyes seemed clear, yet also gave an unfathomable feeling, she was about to leave.
But then she heard the little despicable girl speak to Huang Xianjing.
“Cousin, I have something I want to discuss alone with Sixth Sister. Why don’t you wait for me at that spot over there——”
Huang Xianjing’s expression was worried. After a moment’s hesitation, she nodded and walked back.
When Huang Xianjing was out of sight, Sheng Mingzhu asked impatiently.
“Seventh Sister, what do you want to tell me——”
“I don’t want to tell you anything, I just want to beat you up——”
As the words ended, Huang Yaning’s expression changed instantly. She reached out and pushed hard.
She moved too fast; no one else had time to react before Sheng Mingzhu was pushed backward.
By reflex, Sheng Mingzhu let out a scream.
“Ah——”
At the same time, Huang Yaning had already swiftly and accurately kicked Sheng Mingzhu.
“Help——
“Bitch——
“How dare you kick me——
“I’ll kill you——”
Sheng Mingzhu’s eyes were wide with rage.
Huang Yaning ignored Sheng Mingzhu and quickly kicked her several more times.
Seeing Sheng Mingzhu’s face twisted in pain, she swiftly grabbed Sheng Mingzhu by the collar and dragged her to the edge of the lotus pond.
With another full-force kick, Sheng Mingzhu was directly kicked into the lotus pond.
From hitting her to kicking her into the lotus pond, the whole process probably took Huang Yaning only a few breaths.
After understanding the Prince consort’s meaning and seeing the reactions of the other young ladies, Huang Yaning knew Sheng Mingzhu’s good days were over.
It was just Sheng Mingzhu’s bad luck to run into her by this lotus pond.
Huang Yaning hadn’t finished venting her anger from the incident at the Third Princess’s residence last time.
Moreover, Huang Yaning thought about how, in her previous life, Sheng Mingzhu framed Minmin for pushing her into the water by the lotus pond in the mansion…
Causing Minmin to be kicked by Sheng Mingbo and then endure 20 lashes from Sheng Yong…
Minmin was beaten until her skin split open at the time, and her heart was stabbed countless times by those idiots.
Thinking of that scene, Huang Yaning’s hatred surged——
So, before sending Xianjie away, she had already planned how to hit Sheng Mingzhu.
Where to kick, how many times to kick, the rhythm—Huang Yaning had rehearsed it in her mind three times.
When she made her move, it was indeed fast and smooth.
Qingtian, standing beside Huang Yaning, watched dumbfounded, and Xiazhi was also dazed.
Actually, after Sheng Mingzhu fell to the ground, Xiazhi had already reacted.
But Xiazhi remembered how Sheng Mingzhu had abused her before, and for some reason, she didn’t step forward to help.
Not only did she not help, but she also enjoyed watching the show, thinking for the first time that the Seventh Miss was so brave and looked so pleasing.
Now seeing Sheng Mingzhu struggling in the water, Xiazhi even had a very scary thought.
If Sheng Mingzhu died like this, wouldn’t her chances of moving up be greater?
“If she dies, you’ll be beaten to death by those three brothers of the Sheng family——”
Xiazhi heard the Seventh Miss’s voice, turned to look at the Seventh Miss, and saw the Seventh Miss’s face full of mockery.
But in the next second, that mockery transformed like magic into terror.
“Someone help, my sister fell into the water——”
“Sixth Sister, how did you fall into the water——
“Why are you being so desperate? What happened? Someone come quickly——”
Xiazhi instantly sobered up and also started shouting.
“Miss, someone help, save her——
“My miss fell into the water——”
Soon, the Prince, with an anxious expression, ran out from behind the rockery.
