âGeneral...â
Seeing that Helian Yue was trying to say something, Feng Lianyi immediately wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, âActually, I saw the little prince bullying the people outside the palace. I advised him not to, but he attacked me. Then, the emperor had accidentally hit Princess Qinâer when he tried to stop the little prince...
âBut... Feng Ruqing blamed me for this. She also threatened the man who was bullied by the little prince. She forced him to admit that I was the one who ordered him to harm the little prince. I have endured so much pain over the years, bullied by the little prince... Have I ever fought him back? Do you think I would do such a thing?â
Her eyes reddened.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâd always admit my mistakes when Iâve done something wrong. But now I didnât do anything wrong this time, so Iâll never admit it!â
Her eyes were full of determination, with a tenacity that she would rather die than give up.
Helian Yue stared hard at Feng Lianyi and sneered. âManipulating others... Only Feng Lianyi can do it.â
âFeng Lianyi!â The empressâs gaze was cold, and her voice was stern.
Feng Lianyi gritted her teeth. âEmpress, I know that you are concerned about the little prince and want to put all the blame on me, but I did not do that...â
Indeed. The empressâs words were the most unreliable here.
The little prince was her son, and she had always been protective and spoiled him, so she would definitely side him now.
Of course, if it had been before, those young ladies and young masters of Wu Shang City would have believed Feng Lianyi...
But now, after what had happened in the banquet hall, they all remained silent. They looked at her sardonically.
Liu Yi looked at Feng Lianyi with genuine sympathy. He had never thought that Feng Ruqing would hurt Feng Lianyi for the little princeâs sake.
Everyone knew the little prince was very vicious. So, Liu Yi believed that Lianyi was innocent.
âGeneral, Maiden Lianyi is right.â Liu Yi raised his head and said, âI also know what had happened the other day. The little prince did hurt someone. Maiden Lianyi only followed what General had taught her. She loves people with all her heart. But Feng Ruqing has done so many bad things to Maiden Lianyi. So even if General will blame me this time, I will never regret what Iâve done.â
The others were no longer on Feng Lianyiâs side. Only Liu Yi was still backing her up.
Feng Lian Yi looked at him gratefully.
She would always remember his favor and would never mistreat him in the future!
âMoreover, General, your jade necklace, was stolen by the little prince, and he gave it to that woman. Whatâs funny is... She said that she traded a jug of wine with an old man for it. If that old man really had such a spirit gathering stone, would he be foolish enough to trade it just for a jug of wine?â
***
The foolish old man who traded his spirit gathering stone for a jug of wine...
After he heard the name âFeng Ruqingâ, the generalâs mind went blank. Only the young girlâs pale face appeared on his mind... And it made his heart tremble.
However...
When he heard Feng Lianyiâs words, the old man slowly came out of his shock and smirked.
He walked toward Feng Lianyi, his aura like a giant mountain, making everyone in the banquet hall fall silent.
