The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 87 was truly a hilarious chapter.

Liang Ruochu thought that she had helped Xu Ying get rid of a major threat, and the things Xu Ying had promised her would surely be accomplished soon.

This is killing two birds with one stone, which is truly delightful.

On stage, Liang Ruoyan had already performed a dance. Zhao Yu gave her a small gift to admire, which Liang Ruoyan accepted with a smile, and then glanced at Li Jing's expression.

Li Jing showed no expression, but that made sense. Over the years, the Crown Princess had been the only woman in Li Jing's household, and she didn't seem to be interested in women. If she wanted to impress Li Jing, she would have to start from somewhere else.

For example, girls' schools.

Liang Ruoyan smiled bitterly. She had originally wanted to get closer to Li Jun through the girls' school, but she never expected it to turn out like this.

After changing out of her dance costume, Zhao Yu was about to arrive at Shen Hanyu's place, but Shen Hanyu had not yet appeared. Zhao Yu asked first, "Where is Miss Shen?"

Liang Fangrong then realized that Shen Hanyu had not come out yet.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, not noticing where Shen Hanyu had gone.

Yang Yueying then mentioned, "Is Miss Shen not here either? Just now, the maid came to report that my Ming'er has gone missing. I wonder if the two of them were enjoying the scenery and lost track of time."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "That's alright. I'll send someone to find them and let the others come up first."

Before Zhao Yu's men had left, Shen Hanyu appeared carrying her zither.

"I'm late, Your Highness, please forgive me."

Seeing Shen Hanyu appear unharmed, with not even a single strand of hair disheveled, the expressions of those who knew the inside story varied.

Yang Yueying exclaimed, "Hanyu, have you seen Ming'er?"

Shen Hanyu sighed: "I was just about to come back and tell you when Wei Ming's maid told me that Wei Ming was missing. Later, I saw a few unfamiliar faces saying that they had found Wei Ming. I went over to take a look, but I still couldn't find her, so I quickly came back to tell Madam."

Wei Zhengting went out to look for her but couldn't find her anywhere. However, several maids told Shen Hanyu that they had seen Wei Ming. Yang Yueying immediately sensed something was wrong and got up.

“Your Highness, it is not that I intended to disrupt the birthday banquet, but Ming’er is unwell and I am really worried. Please send someone to look for Ming’er in the manor.”

Zhao Yu looked at Li Jing, who breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll send someone to look for it right away."

For a moment, Liang Ruochu looked flustered. She looked at Shen Hanyu, wondering how Shen Hanyu had gotten away with it.

Just then, Shen Hanyu looked over, and Liang Ruochu was startled.

The performance was paused, and Shen Hanyu put the zither back, waiting for them to find out about Liang Sihan.

Wei Ming was quickly found and brought back. She was alright and begged Wei Zhengting and Yang Yueying for forgiveness when she returned.

"The Crown Prince's residence is too big. I accidentally got lost. The maid I was with couldn't see me when she turned around. I was almost scared to death."

Yang Yueying glanced at the maid, deciding to tidy up when she got back.

"It's good that everyone is alright." Zhao Yu rubbed his temples.

"Your Highness, we also found... the second young master of the Liang family in the west wing hall."

The guard's embarrassed expression immediately caught their attention.

Liang Chengli and Lin Lihua both knew what kind of person their son was. Lin Lihua broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Liang Sihan was confused at this moment and bullied the palace maid of the Crown Prince's residence?

Thinking about this, Lin Lihua wished she could faint on the spot.

Liang Chengli was filled with regret; he should have grabbed Liang Sihan and prevented him from leaving.

"What's wrong with Young Master Liang?"

Xu Zhun asked with a smile.

While others dared not, he was fearless, completely adopting a "let's have a good show" attitude.

The guards dared not speak, so Xu Zhun suggested, "Why don't we go and take a look? We can't keep Young Master Liang staying in the west wing hall forever."

Li Jing and Zhao Yu were somewhat helpless, but they were also afraid that something might really happen to Liang Sihan on their side, so they had no choice but to take a few people to see her.

Shen Hanyu was among them. At this moment, Wei Ming ran to Shen Hanyu's side and whispered, "A maid just told me that you asked me to go out for a while and told me to go ahead and you would be there soon. I didn't think it through at the time and thought you had something urgent, so I went over. As a result, I got lost. Are you alright?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Shen Hanyu patted the back of her hand.

Wei Ming was relieved to know that Shen Hanyu was alright, but she also wanted to see what was going on with the Second Young Master Liang.

Before they could even get a clear look at what was going on inside the west wing, Wei Ming and Shen Hanyu's view was blocked, although Shen Hanyu still managed to see it.

Liang Sihan was embracing a servant, looking quite drunk. She placed her hand on the servant's chest and rubbed it twice. The two of them lay on the ground with identical expressions, and Liang Sihan was muttering some incoherent words.

When Li Jing smelled the Five-Stone Powder, he covered his nose with his sleeve.

"Why is there still Five-Stone Powder?" Zhao Yu took a step back, frowning involuntarily.

Five-stone powder is banned and very difficult to buy on the market. It is unknown how Liang Sihan managed to obtain it.

After such an incident occurred in the manor, Li Jing ordered his men to wake them up.

Liang Chengli and Lin Lihua have lost all face and dignity. Just a moment ago, they were the envy of many people because of Liang Ruoxue and Li Jun's affair, but now they have made a fool of themselves.

Liang Ruoxue's face turned even uglier.

Liang Sihan was pulled up, and he was still muttering, "Cousin..."

Liang Ruoxue cursed inwardly. What a useless brother! All he thinks about is Shen Hanyu. He doesn't care about his reputation as his sister at all. Shen Hanyu is a troublemaker!

A bucket of cold water was poured over them, and they were completely sober. Liang Sihan turned around and saw a man sitting next to her, which startled her.

"why you!"

The servant knelt tremblingly. How could he know that after helping Liang Sihan send everyone away from the west side hall, he also left, and he couldn't remember what happened after that?

Surrounded by so many people, Liang Sihan hugged her arms tightly, and Liang Chengli came over to apologize to Li Jing and Zhao Yu.

"I, Liang, have failed in my duty to raise my son, and I apologize to Your Highness and the Crown Princess."

Lin Lihua also went over. Liang Chengxuan and Xu Ying could not sit idly by. Everyone in the Hou Mansion lowered their heads because Liang Sihan had really lost all face.

Even if they are lucky enough to escape punishment from Li Jing, they will still be severely punished when they return.

Li Jing was amiable and easy to talk to: "Alright, we're in a good mood today, so let's not let this spoil the fun. Take this servant away first. I won't punish Young Master Liang, but I hope that similar things won't happen again in the future. Also, Lord Liang should keep that Five Stone Powder in mind."

Listening to the high-sounding words from above, Shen Hanyu didn't believe these people didn't know what Liang Sihan was planning. In fact, they probably not only knew, but also went along with it and helped her.

"Everyone, let's leave now, and let's just let this matter drop."

The birthday banquet had to go on, and Zhao Yu maintained his composure, refraining from making trouble at this time.

Zhao Wanfu glanced at the couple and shook his head slightly.

"Your Highness, you are becoming increasingly lax in your work."

Li Jing smiled and said, "At least it wasn't a waste of time."

Zhao Wanfu looked at Li Jing with his cloudy eyes. Li Jing's words had a hidden meaning, and he could roughly guess what Li Jing was going to do.
