Chapter 3971: 4.1571 Shameless

Indeed, these Beauty Pills, limited to three per month, were highly sought after by the wealthy ladies of Longyan City. Moreover, the reputation of the Beauty Pill had now spread far and wide. If its fame reached all three states, the price would surely exceed five million. After all, Zhenhui Workshop supplied the Beauty Pills in limited quantities each month; once sold out, one would have to wait another month. To acquire the Beauty Pills as soon as possible, many noblewomen, daughters, and young ladies from aristocratic families didn't hesitate to pay exorbitant prices for a single pill.

Zheng Wangfei looked overwhelmed, quickly instructing her personal maid to take the small brocade box from Cai Xiu. She curtsied to Qiao Mu, smiling. "Thank you, Crown Princess."

Zheng Wangfei's appearance, among the many noblewomen, was quite ordinary. Her forehead was narrow and slightly recessed, her nose sharp and thin, but her mouth was wide. However, today, adorned in a vibrant red dress, she radiated a newfound glow, adding a touch of brightness to her otherwise plain features.

Zheng Wang Mo Xikang's lips finally curved into a faint smile. With the Crown Princess offering such a lavish gift, whether it was for show or not, Zheng Wang's mansion certainly had a lot of face today. Which man didn't care about face? If the Crown Prince and Crown Princess hadn't come today, rumors would surely spread tomorrow that they didn't respect him, the dignified Zheng Wang. The Zheng Wang mansion hadn't been peaceful lately, and such rumors would only add to their distress. Fortunately, the little Crown Princess was quite sensible.

Mo Xikang nodded slightly in satisfaction, then turned to the Crown Prince with a smile. "Crown Prince, please enter the mansion."

Crown Prince Mo nodded subtly. He was still preoccupied with the mechanical bird and the Royal Academy matter, so he didn't plan to stay long at Zheng Wang's mansion. However, not entering at all would greatly diminish Zheng Wang's face. Thus, he decided to enter with Qiaoqiao, have a couple of drinks, and then find an excuse to leave.

Mo Xikang cheerfully led the way, guiding the Crown Prince up the steps. Along the way, guests bowed in greeting, "Your Royal Highness, Crown Prince." "Crown Princess."

Crown Prince Mo was holding his little wife's hand. As they ascended two steps, a soft, sobbing cry suddenly echoed from behind them. It was accompanied by an extremely resentful wail, like that of a grieving woman.

"Your Highness!" Mo Xikang's face subtly changed. Everyone turned their heads, curiously looking at the frail, weeping woman. This woman appeared delicate, but her belly was noticeably swollen, indicating several months of pregnancy.

Zheng Wangfei's face immediately turned cold. She recognized this delicate woman, and had even secretly investigated her. Zheng Wang's recent closeness with the Lin family, his eagerness to gain their favor, seemed incredibly shortsighted to Zheng Wangfei. This woman was Lin Wan'er, a concubine's daughter from the Lin family, a brazen little hussy. How dare she choose her birthday, with guests filling the mansion, to come to Zheng Wang's mansion with a swollen belly demanding an explanation! Truly a lowborn, illegitimate child!

Zheng Wangfei's eyes instantly turned icy. Standing high on the wide steps, she pointed at the woman. "Guards! Drag this woman who is blocking the way and causing a disturbance away!"

"Beat her to death!"

The delicate woman suddenly lifted her head, her eyes still filled with disbelief as they met Zheng Wangfei's cold gaze. She couldn't help but shrink her neck.
