Xiao Li changed her clothes and prepared to go select a horse, but before she had walked close, she heard an argument break out ahead.
Her intuition told her that the Female Lead would inevitably be involved at a time like this.
Sure enough, in the crowd, Liu Xueyin had an arm around a woman in Pink Clothes, and was confronting someone with an angry expression.
Opposite her was Zhao Yuan, jumping with anxiety, his round body trembling, profusely sweating as he explained: “I truly did not assault her, she retreated and bumped into me.”
Liu Xueyin sternly spoke righteously: “You deliberately stood behind her, with ill intentions.”
Skinny Li You stood behind Zhao Yuan, frowning and remaining silent.
“What’s going on?”
A Guard rebuked, wearing a Riding Outfit, and Lord Xiao, handsome and tall, strode over.
His gaze, like a torch, swept over the crowd before finally landing on his wife: “What happened?”
Liu Xueyin was somewhat resistant to Lord Xiao, but ultimately chose to lean on him: “Lord, this man assaulted Aru and refuses to admit it, please do justice for Aru.”
Zhao Yuan quickly explained: “Lord, please see clearly, I truly did not, she really did retreat on her own.”
Li You stepped forward: “Lord, although we are Rakes, we have indeed teased girls, but having lived this long, we still have some discernment. If it were an ordinary girl dressed plainly on the street, we might take advantage and tease her, but this is the daughter of Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Justice, even if we were bold enough to try, we wouldn’t dare to act recklessly, especially since we were just punished for the incident with the Princess, we wouldn’t risk ruining our family for teasing a girl.”
“Just now, Zhao Yuan and I came here, chatting and waiting for someone. Miss Zhou came to choose a horse but was frightened by a Horse and retreated several steps, bumping into Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan reached out to help her, and then this lady screamed, and the Princess came over and scolded us, it’s a complete injustice, please Lord see clearly.”
Xiao Li, standing not far away, was originally watching the scene with indifference, but after hearing him finish, she glanced over slightly.
His words were earnest and logical, this person seemed to have something about him.
Zhao Yuan leaned on Li You, aggrieved, and said: “It was the same in Huilong Lane that day. We were just passing by the door when a White-robed woman rushed out of the pharmacy and collided with us. I kindly helped her up and picked up the medicine package she dropped. Seeing her beautiful and weak, I asked if she needed help, then Pingnan Hou Shizi and Liu Clan’s son rushed over and beat us in the street, almost killing us.”
Liu Xueyin glared at them with angry eyes, and raised her finger indignantly: “You are simply twisting the truth, and bullying people too much.”
“We are telling the truth, you can’t slander us just because you are the Princess.” Zhao Yuan retorted impolitely, Li You quickly grabbed him and stopped him from speaking.
“I slander you? I, a woman, would use my Innocence to slander you?”
“Silence!”
Lord Xiao suddenly rebuked Liu Xueyin, who was still trying to argue: “How long will you continue to make a fuss?”
“This matter ends here!”
Lord Xiao turned and left, leaving Liu Xueyin standing alone in a daze, full of vulnerability and grievance.
“Older Sister.”
Liu Changge came over and quickly supported her.
Liu Xueyin leaned weakly into his arms, tears slowly falling, her heart broken: “Changge, how could Lord treat me like this?”
Liu Changge was also very angry, but he couldn’t direct his anger at Lord Xiao, instead, he looked at Zhao Yuan and Li You standing not far away, his eyes filled with malice: “Older Sister, rest assured, I will make them pay the Price.”
Then Liu Changge helped Liu Xueyin walk away, leaving the girl in Pink Clothes standing in place, tears welling up in her eyes, looking confused.
Zhou Ru: So? She was the one who was assaulted, why is Liu Xueyin crying more than her?
Xiao Li was picking a horse, Xiao Jingyi hadn’t arrived yet, but the four of them had gathered around Xiao Li, but they didn’t dare to approach, their limbs stiff and their bodies uncomfortable, perhaps out of some apprehension.
Xiao Li knew why they were so restrained, probably because they suddenly felt their reputation wasn’t very good, and were afraid of being disliked by her, the Princess.
Xiao Li didn’t pay attention to the four of them, and didn’t feel any dislike.
These four were idle Rakes, she wasn’t a good person either, nor a judge, and had no right to judge them.
Besides, the status of Princess was just an illusion to her, she didn’t think being a princess was anything special. She was Xiao Li, Xiao Li who lived by her own means, not Princess Xuanyang, a Pawn to be manipulated.
Xiao Li picked a Horse and turned her head, suddenly seeing someone with a silly smile, drooling.
Sensing Xiao Li’s gaze, the other three realized that Zhao Yuan was staring at Xiao Li, his eyes unable to move.
Skinny Qian Yu, standing in the back, lightly patted the short Sun Buwu, and Sun Buwu, without thinking, jumped up and slapped Zhao Yuan hard on the Head.
“Aow!”
Zhao Yuan let out a painful scream, and then his Knee was kicked, causing him to fall to his knees in front of Xiao Li.
Li You quickly apologized: “Princess, forgive him, Zhao Yuan just likes to look at beautiful women, the Princess’s Appearance is breathtaking, he lost control and offended the Princess, but he had no malicious intent, please forgive him.”
Although he was apologizing, Li You was also sweating in his heart. Zhao Yuan was a Bastard who always caused trouble, and his trouble was getting bigger and bigger, first the Princess, now the Princess.
Don’t drag him down with you, he’s cutting ties, he’ll sever relations upon returning home!
Qian Yu gave a signal, and Sun Buwu kicked Zhao Yuan hard in the Buttocks, and Zhao Yuan finally came to his senses and begged for mercy: “Please forgive me, Princess, I truly know my mistake.”
Xiao Jingyi arrived late, looking at the trembling four, he stood beside Xiao Li: “What did you do to offend my Imperial Sister?”
Li You was about to explain, when Xiao Li took the Reins from a nearby Guard and jumped onto the Horse.
“Get up, don’t let it happen again.”
After saying that, she spurred the Horse and left, the Horse galloping away, displaying a heroic and dashing figure.
Zhao Yuan was still kneeling on the ground, then began to smile foolishly: “The Princess is so amazing!”
Li You slapped him hard on the Head again: “Again!”
You want to die, don’t involve me.
Qian Yu had long been standing beside Xiao Jingyi, simply and clearly explaining what had happened.
Xiao Jingyi listened and rubbed his Head annoyedly with his Fan: “You really know how to cause me trouble, be careful in the future, or I won’t be able to protect you.”
“As for my Imperial Sister, don’t worry, she isn’t so narrow-minded.”
As he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Li galloping past, her posture Free and Easy, riding wildly, her face full of joy, her eyes firm, she was enjoying the exhilaration of galloping.
Xiao Jingyi’s smile deepened: The current Imperial Sister is truly radiant and captivating, captivating.
Taking a break for a couple of days, I’m out of drafts.
It’s enjoyable to be lazy for a moment.
But being lazy all the time leads to a disastrous outcome, ::>_<::</p>
