Chu Yuqin thought that Lu Chen and Chu Qingli would come out to confront her soon, since their affair had already been exposed, and she had caught them in the act.
However, what surprised Chu Yuqin was that she sat in the pavilion for a full four hours, the sky beginning to whiten, and yet the two of them had not come out from the room. All she heard was Chu Qingli's voice becoming more and more peculiar, and she could tell that Chu Qingli was trying her best to suppress her own voice, but still couldn't control it.
This rendered Chu Yuqin somewhat speechless; this little rascal really was relentless.
In fact, it was not because Lu Chen had a particularly perverse mentality, but rather, he did this deliberately. As a Grandmaster, he could naturally sense that Chu Yuqin was sitting outside in the pavilion waiting for them.
But they couldn't just go out like that, because he wanted to completely dismantle Chu Qingli's self-esteem so that she would not dare to oppose him and Chu Yuqin in the future.
As for the effect, it would soon become apparent.
At dawn, the sunshine cast upon the earth, and Chu Yuqin, sitting in the pavilion, had a flushed face, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in her body.
This jerk, really tormenting people.
The sun had risen, and they still hadn't let Chu Qingli out.
Just as Chu Yuqin was about to arrange the protective work for the inner court, the door of Chu Qingli's room finally opened.
Lu Chen, beaming, came out from the room, with Chu Qingli behind him, her face flushed red, not daring to face Chu Yuqin directly.
The once ice-queen beauty now seemed like a child who had done something wrong.
Upon seeing Chu Yuqin in the pavilion, Lu Chen greeted her with a smile, "Madam Chu, good morning."
Chu Yuqin gave Lu Chen a resentful glance, then her gaze fell on Chu Qingli, who was hiding behind him.
At that moment, Chu Yuqin let out a cold huff.
Hearing Chu Yuqin's cold snort, Chu Qingli's delicate body suddenly trembled.
Chu Yuqin then coldly said, "What a case of demonic possession, I was wondering how someone could suffer from such possession day after day while practicing their skill!"
"Qingli, tell me, what kind of demon has possessed you?"
Hearing this, Chu Qingli frantically said, "Sister… Sister, I had no choice… I…"
Chu Qingli was cut off by Chu Yuqin before she could finish, "No choice? What excuse is that? You spend the entire night without showing up after I caught you, and now you say you had no choice?"
Now Chu Qingli hated Lu Chen, this jerk, to death. She had wanted to come out last night, but that jerk, Lu Chen, had held her back, refusing to let her leave the room.
What could she do? Her skill had been sealed, and with Lu Chen being a Grandmaster, she was but a weak woman in front of him.
Chu Yuqin continued, "Qingli, I always thought you were trying to stop me from serving Chen'er for my own good. But to think, you climbed into Chen'er's bed yourself. Could it be that you stopped me from serving Chen'er because you wanted to monopolize him?"
Chu Qingli immediately said, "Sister, it's not like that, I did it to save you…"
Chu Yuqin scoffed, "To save me you climbed into Chen'er's bed? Your excuse is no different from being possessed during practice!"
Chu Qingli did not know how to explain, and she immediately looked at Lu Chen, then said, "Prince, please help me explain! Our agreed number of transactions should have been enough, you should fulfill your promise now!"
Hearing Chu Qingli's words, Lu Chen said with a smile, "Transaction? What transaction? I don't recall any transaction."
"You were with me just because you were lusting after my body, weren't you?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen actually deny it, Chu Qingli instantly became furious.
At this moment, Lu Chen said to Chu Yuqin, "Madam Chu, Qingli and I are truly in love. You sat outside in the pavilion all night, and you should have heard that if we weren't truly in love, she wouldn't have made those sounds."
Chu Qingli felt both ashamed and infuriated, blurting out, "You scoundrel! Who's truly in love with you!"
Chu Yuqin huffed again, "Truly in love? Qingli, I really misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be this kind of woman!"
Having said that, Chu Yuqin stood up, looking as if she were about to leave the courtyard.
Seeing this, Chu Qingli panicked; if she couldn't explain herself today, Chu Yuqin would definitely think that she was willing to be Lu Chen's woman, and that her own interference between them was out of a desire to monopolize Lu Chen.
Chu Qingli quickly ran out from behind Lu Chen, charging towards Chu Yuqin, "Sister, listen to my explanation, I was forced, it was all that bastard's doing!"
"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Soon, Chu Qingli grabbed Chu Yuqin's arm, preventing her from leaving.
Chu Yuqin stopped walking, her face cold as she said, "Forced? I don't think anyone makes such joyful noises when being forced!"
Chu Qingli did not know how to explain. How could anyone control themselves in such a situation? It was impossible to hold back, especially with Lu Chen's many methods; how could she keep totally silent?
It's all that damn jerk's fault!
How could she explain?
Chu Yuqin then turned to look at Lu Chen and asked coldly, "Chen'er, Qingli has been pure before entering the Prince's Mansion and was never engaged to anyone. Now that you have done this to her, what do you plan to do?"
