Chapter 237
Qin Yurong, the cousin of Duke Minguo, who had been secretly observing Xiao Yingchun, suddenly spoke up: "Miss Xiao, may I ask if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xiao Yingchun: They all said that Xiao Yingchun and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked and stopped together.

Xiao Yingchun smiled and said, "Has the mansion invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Everyone: ...Of course not.

They had inquired about it beforehand.

"If you haven't invited me, Your Highness the Crown Prince won't come here uninvited."

"Unless you have a close personal relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: In the past, the Fu family father and son were just butchers. Which noble family would be so self-degrading as to have such a close personal relationship with a butcher?

So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not come.

It seems that Xiao Yingchun is not very important in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

The ladies were both disappointed and relieved, and their interest in Xiao Yingchun plummeted. They finally began to focus their attention on Merlin.

Xiao Yingchun likes plum blossoms, but she is surrounded by chattering ladies, which destroys the peace and tranquility, which makes the place boring.

Fortunately, someone finally came to call us for dinner.

The food is on the third floor of the attic.

Everyone went upstairs, with the male guests on the left and the female guests on the right, separated by a screen in the middle.

Xiao Yingchun was looking for the wife of Ningyuan Hou when a white and tender little hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed Xiao Yingchun's sleeve.

Xiao Yingchun turned around in surprise and saw a woman's face that was truly stunning.

The woman had big eyes, thick eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, fair skin, and cloud-like black hair. She looked a bit like Fan Bingbing.

It was Qin Yurong, the cousin of the Duke of Min who had just asked whether the Crown Prince had come.

Qin Yurong pulled Xiao Yingchun's sleeve and smiled flatteringly: "Miss Xiao, can I sit next to you?"

Xiao Yingchun smiled at her, turned around and pointed in the direction of Ningyuan Hou's wife, and happened to meet Ningyuan Hou's wife's gaze.

When Lady Ningyuan Hou saw Xiao Yingchun looking at her, she smiled at her and pointed to the seat next to her and asked her to come over.

Xiao Yingchun apologized to Qin Yurong: "I'm so sorry, Ningyuan Hou's wife called me, I'll go sit with her."

At today's banquet, guests can invite anyone they like to sit together according to their preferences, but the host cannot.

As the cousin of the Duke of Min's mansion, Qin Yurong could not be so ignorant as to compete with the guests for someone else's position, so she had to sit next to Jialan unwillingly.

Lady Minguo glanced at Xiao Yingchun from the corner of her eye, and her eyes moved across and fell on Qin Yurong.

Qin Yurong met the gaze of Lady Min, and lowered her head guiltily.

She failed to complete the first step.

Fortunately, as Duke Min announced the start of the banquet, everyone quickly began to toast each other and chat.

Qin Yurong continued her efforts and came to find Xiao Yingchun with two cups of glutinous rice wine.

"Miss Xiao... I feel very close to Miss Xiao from the moment I meet her. I would like to offer this cup of glutinous rice wine to Miss Xiao. Please do me the honor."

After saying this, Qin Yurong handed over one of the cups.

Xiao Yingchun was slightly stunned: this person only asked her whether the prince had arrived, so how come they suddenly felt like old friends at first sight?

She turned to look at the wife of Ningyuan Hou.

The wife of Marquis Ningyuan smiled but said nothing: The wife of Duke Minguo would not dare to do anything small in public.

Xiao Yingchun was relieved and took the glutinous rice wine: "Thank you, Miss Qin."

The two cups clinked together, Xiao Yingchun tilted his head back and drank it all, and Qin Yurong also raised the cup to her lips with a smile.

But just when she was about to drink it, a noble lady suddenly stood up from behind her and touched Qin Yurong on the back.

Qin Yurong staggered forward and spilled a full cup of rose-colored glutinous rice wine on Xiao Yingchun's clothes.

Xiao Yingchun froze:!!!

The means are coming?

Qin Yurong also looked frightened, but then her eyes turned red.

"Ms. Xiao, I didn't mean it... I... I..." Xiao Yingchun waved her hand seemingly indifferently: "Forget it."

The wife of Ningyuan Marquis had already seen the situation here, and immediately called the nanny over: "Take Miss Xiao to change her clothes."

A maid came forward and led Xiao Yingchun to change her clothes.

Xiao Yingchun and the wife of Ningyuan Hou looked at each other.

Is he waiting here?

Lady Ningyuan Hou: Be careful.

Xiao Yingchun nodded slightly: Don't worry.

The two maids of Ningyuan Marquis' wife followed soon after.

The four of them didn't walk far. When they reached the guest room on the first floor, the maid from the Duke of Min's Mansion ushered them in: "Miss Xiao, please come in..."

Xiao Yingchun and the two maids went in and saw that this was a very exquisitely decorated guest room. Not only was there a floor heating, but the furnishings were all fine items and there was also cold plum incense.

But the incense seemed a little strong and dull in the closed room.

The two maids realized something was wrong and turned around to go out, but as soon as they reached the door, it was closed from the outside.

The two maids' hands and feet went limp and they were about to slide to the ground.

After seeing this scene, what else did Xiao Yingchun not understand?

Could this incense be a magic incense?

With a thought in mind, Xiao Yingchun returned to the Space-Time Supermarket, then collapsed in the living room and fell asleep.

The secret guard who was following from a distance realized something was wrong when he saw the nanny who was leading the way turned around, closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

The two men gestured to each other, one ran to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other quickly approached the room.

The maid who was guarding the door was knocked unconscious by a knife. When the door was opened, two maids were seen lying unconscious on the ground.

The secret guard dragged the two maids out and placed them in the corridor outside. After looking around, he was surprised to see Qin Yurong who came to investigate the situation.

The secret guard was not polite either. He knocked Qin Yurong unconscious with a knife, threw her into a room that smelled terribly fragrant, and closed the door.

Afterwards, the secret guards dragged the nanny from Ningyuan Marquis's mansion to their previous hiding place and continued to monitor her from a distance.

Using such a strong incense, aren't they afraid of someone dying?!

But no one noticed that in the exquisitely furnished guest room, a slight mechanical sound suddenly came from behind the bed, and then Lang Yongshun walked out.

He saw the woman lying on the bed at a glance.

Thinking of what his father had told him, Lang Yongshun walked forward and slowly turned the woman over. When the woman's face was revealed, Lang Yongshun was stunned.

Isn't this... my cousin Qin Yurong? !

Qin Yurong was so beautiful that Lang Yongshun was attracted to her at first sight.

But my parents said that Qin Yurong would make great contributions to the family and could not be touched, let alone married to him.

He had no choice but to give up.

But who could tell him, how come it became Qin Yurong when it was clearly said to be Xiao Yingchun's?

He was still hesitating whether to listen to his mother and let go of Qin Yurong, but the medicinal effect of the incense took effect.

Lang Yongshun also began to react.

Just at this moment, Qin Yurong also woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lang Yongshun in a daze and was also surprised.

But her head was so hot that she lost her ability to think. Lang Yongshun in front of her was also very handsome...

"Cousin, why am I so hot..." The beauty cried out in a wronged and timid voice, and leaned into Lang Yongshun's arms.

The warm cousin leaning in his arms instantly woke Lang Yongshun up.

Lang Yongshun's already weak willpower was instantly shattered, and he hugged Qin Yurong and kissed her...
