Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The fifth princess exhibited troubling psychological tendencies. As she entered the room, she wore heavy makeup, veiling her true appearance beneath layers of cosmetics.

Despite her distorted nature, she harbored a peculiar desire to hear her name spoken by Su Bin. Eventually, Su Bin obliged, muttering, You are You appear to be the fifth princess, correct?

The fifth princess erupted in delight. Oh, you can even discern this

Come closer, come closer. I will elevate you to the heavens! she exclaimed.

With those words, she initiated an advance toward Su Bin. However, to Su Bins surprise, she ended up embracing another man instead.

The Crown Prince discreetly excused himself for a period, feigning other engagements. However, as he recollected that he had a matter to discuss with Su Bin, he sought to locate him.

To his dismay, when he eventually sought to find Su Bin, he discovered that the man was nowhere to be found.

At this point, the banquet had already concluded, and the fifth segment, involving the reunification of men and women, was underway. Naturally, it was a collective gathering, and any private rendezvous between individuals was unlikely.

The Crown Prince, inclined to display his stature, attempted to demonstrate his status. Word swiftly spread about Su Bins disappearance, sparking discussions among the young masters and ladies in attendance.

Ive heard that the banquet is still ongoing, and Su Bin has retired to the backyard.

Rumor has it that His Highness the Crown Prince summoned him for an inquiry.

Yet, due to an unforeseen engagement, the Crown Prince directed him to wait in the backyard, and now hes nowhere to be found.

Su Bins conduct is rather questionable. Given his prior appointment with the Crown Prince, he should have refrained from wandering and been readily available.

Hes merely been waiting for a while, and hes growing impatient. Lets remember, he hails from the countryside and might not be well-versed in the finer points of etiquette.

I disagree; its not that hes oblivious to etiquette. In reality, he appears quite arrogant and doesnt seem to hold His Highness the Crown Prince in high regard!

These comments were evidently contrived by individuals with malicious intentions.

But where on earth has he gone? Why has he remained elusive despite numerous attempts to locate him?

Could he have accidentally fallen into the river and drowned? Thats unlikely. There are guards stationed by the river.

Suddenly, a young master made a startling suggestion.

Perhaps hes taken a liking to one of the maids, and the two of them have retreated to the faux cave in the backyard for a rendezvous?

Ha! Thats quite the possibility!

Shall we investigate the faux cave to find him?

A splendid idea. Lets go as a group. Who knows, we might witness something quite out of the ordinary.

Laughter and jesting ensued among these young masters, who seemed to have exceptionally vivid imaginations. Such scenarios were not unfamiliar to them and thus did not elicit much surprise.

The nearby young ladies, upon hearing these comments, collectively blushed and condemned the men in their hearts. They all seemed to be preoccupied with romantic dalliances and couldnt conceive that the new Primus could be such a person. However, they found themselves in no position to defend Su Bin.

Only one young master among them possessed the audacity to stand up and voice his thoughts.

I find that highly unlikely. This is the royal courtyard, after all. Even individuals with a modic.u.m of common sense wouldnt dare to cause trouble in these surroundings, let alone Su Bin.

Indeed, its common knowledge that he harbors profound affection for Mrs. Su. He publicly declared his lifelong commitment to her on the streets. He vowed never to take another wife or concubine aside from Mrs. Su.

Given this, do you genuinely believe that a man like Su Bin would engage in indiscretions with a maid in the faux cave?

I share the same sentiment.

Several young masters chimed in, united in their skepticism..
