Chapter 4: A Great Show!

"Oh my God, it's His Highness Prince Xuan! What do we do, what do we do?!" Shen Yunshuang couldn't help shouting.

"Shut up!"

Furious, Shen Feiyan slapped Shen Yunshuang across the face. With consecutive scolding and a strike, a hint of resentment flickered in Shen Yunshuang's eyes. Seeing Prince Xuan approaching, she pushed Shen Feiyan aside without hesitation and turned to run away.

In her panic, Shen Yunshuang didn't pay attention to where she was going. Behind the artificial mountain was a lotus pond, and with a splash, she fell right into it. Luckily, at this time of year, though the lotus flowers had yet to bloom, their leaves still provided some cover. Thus, the oblivious Shen Yunshuang escaped unscathed.

Shen Feiyan, on the other hand, who had been pushed by Shen Yunshuang, crashed into the artificial mountain. By the time she regained her senses, it was too late to escape.

Fuming with anger, Shen Feiyan now also held a grudge against Shen Yunshuang. But what should she do now? They were about to be caught... Suddenly, an idea struck Shen Feiyan. She grabbed a handful of dirt, smeared it on her face, messed up her already disheveled hair, pulled it forward to cover her face, and then crouched down, beginning to sob loudly!

Is she... imitating me?

Ye Xiyao, hiding in a concealed corner, raised her eyebrows. At that moment, Prince Xuan, Mo Jinli, and their entourage happened to round the corner of the artificial mountain. Upon seeing the situation, they were all taken aback!

At this moment, a woman, completely naked with disheveled hair, was crouched in the corner weeping bitterly. Her face was hidden beneath her arms, revealing only her bare, pale body – a sight too disturbing to behold.

"Astonishing, isn't it? Who would have thought there'd be such a fascinating scene in this imperial garden!"

"Haha, truly delightful!"

The men's inherent baseness was triggered, and they burst into laughter. Amidst their amusement, the sobs echoed again:

"Sob... It hurts... Yáo'ér, it hurts so much... Sob... Brother Prince Xuan..."

Yáo'ér? Could this woman possibly be... that foolish and good-for-nothing Ye Xiyao?

Realization dawned upon them, and their jesting faces instantly turned disdainful. Meanwhile, Ye Xiyao, hiding in secrecy, could not help but scoff at the absurdity.

She had seen shamelessness before, but never such audacity. In this situation, she was still... The irony was even more amusing – mimicking, yet calling him 'Brother Prince Xuan'!

Prince Xuan, Mo Jinli, who had been observing coldly, indeed seemed to have been contaminated by something repulsive as he let out a soft scoff. However, a peculiar glint flickered in his eyes afterward.

Ye Xiyao knew precisely what he was thinking, but how could she possibly let this despicable man and his opportunist lover have their way?

Thus, Ye Xiyao brushed aside her disheveled hair and, without any qualms, spat twice before rubbing the saliva on her eyes. Then, she rubbed her eyes as she emerged from her hiding spot...

"Woo... Prince Xuan... Woo... Prince Xuan, where are you..."

Acting? Who can't? Let's see how well you can play this game!

In an instant, two Ye Xiyao's appeared, leaving everyone present utterly stunned.

Shen Feiyan, who had thought she was about to get away with it, turned pale in an instant. She wished she could pounce on Ye Xiyao right now and bite her to death!

Damn it, why did this idiot show up? And what just happened earlier? How did I faint? What should I do now, what should I do...
