This feeling of dread grew, magnified, as she knelt before the Crown Prince.
She forcibly suppressed the bitter sorrow in her heart and kowtowed. "This servant greets Your Highness."
The Crown Prince watched her with a detached air and suddenly asked, "Do you know why We summoned you?"
Lin Rong lowered her head. "...This servant does not know."
Shen Lang yawned, glancing at the woman kneeling on the floor.
'It was all because the noble and aloof Crown Prince wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and Lin Rong, as Lin Xiao's own sister, was the sharpest blade for the job.'
However, the Crown Prince would not say this directly. In a clear, cool voice, he only said:
"Are you aware of what the City Lord Mansion says about your husband's family and you behind your back?"
Lin Rong's eyes widened in astonishment. "Don't tell me they're gossiping behind our backs?"
"Not only."
The Crown Prince uttered the two words and gave Qian Shao a look.
