Chapter 644, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

Lin Jiu looked at Yin Tang, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She asked softly, "Why are you back so early today?"

It turned out that after feeding his wife, Yinzhen casually picked up a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth. It must be said, the fruit prepared by his wife was indeed delicious.

After chewing and swallowing the food in his mouth, Yinzhen replied, "These days I've been busy with the selection of concubines, so there haven't been many important matters. Therefore, the court session ended a little earlier than usual."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes, the talent show is imminent, and each family has eligible women participating. Such an important event cannot be neglected, so everyone is giving it their all and daring not to slack off in the slightest.

Thinking this through, Lin Jiu's mind raced, and she looked at Yin Tang with a sly smile, saying, "Then Ma'ertai Ruoxi must also be one of those who came to participate in the selection, right? But she was escorted back by the Thirteenth Brother last night and this morning. Is that alright?"

Lin Jiu's words were incisive and hit the nail on the head.

Generally speaking, any woman whose selection as a concubine is not yet confirmed can be considered as the emperor's woman.

Now that Ruoxi has caused such a disturbance, how is it any different from a secret affair?

Yin Tang frowned as soon as he heard the name Ma'ertai Ruoxi. He really had no good feelings towards this person at all. However, things didn't go as planned. The more he didn't want to hear it, the more he felt that he was surrounded by Ma'ertai Ruoxi's shadow. Could it be that the world revolves around one person?

Lin Jiu: "..." Isn't she just revolving around one person? She's the female lead!

Moreover, right after "Desperate Thirteen Sister" left, the two "Desperate Thirteen Brother and Sister" did not return home all night. Yin Tang felt that the thirteenth prince might have lost his mind.

How dare he get involved with the girls to be selected for the imperial concubine selection? Is he trying to put a tainted hat on Father Emperor? Yinzhen laughed at this thought.

Lin Jiu was puzzled by Yin Tang's laughing. Yin Tang noticed Lin Jiu's gaze, coughed lightly, shook off his random thoughts, and slowly said, "The thirteenth prince is fine. At most, he will be scolded. As for Ma'ertai Ruoxi... well, her marriage is just a few levels lower, and the marriages of the other girls in the Ma'ertai family are not so easy."

However, upon hearing this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but frown.

In her view, these so-called "minor matters" were actually quite serious.

Given the status and background of the Ma'ertai family, if this incident had not occurred, Ruoxi should have been able to become a prince's concubine, or even possibly the principal wife of a member of the imperial family!

But nowadays, even if she were to become a concubine, it's doubtful anyone would be willing to take her in.

As for the other girls in the Ma'ertai family, it was even more unfortunate—Ruoxi's actions affected the entire family, damaging the reputations of all the girls and making their future marriage prospects fraught with difficulties!

She was simply a troublemaker who brought disaster upon her entire family. Thinking of this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but feel sorry for the Ma'ertai family. This unexpected misfortune of the "time-traveling woman" was truly unfortunate.

As soon as Yinzhen finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something amusing. A slight, mocking smile appeared on his lips, and he continued in a teasing tone, "Ajiu, you would never guess how ridiculous that Ma'ertai Ruoxi is! She actually dared to boast to the Thirteenth Prince that she was someone who had traveled from three hundred years in the future, and shamelessly talked about so-called freedom and equality, heh heh..."

"Uh," Lin Jiu looked at Yin Tang in astonishment, wondering if it was possible that what he said was the truth.

However, Lin Jiu never expected that the transmigrated woman would reveal her identity.
