Chapter 435: Speaking Up for Her

Besides, Princess Li Xiu died seven years ago. The one living now is He Hongxiu. Even if someone saw me, there are so many similar people in the world, I deny it, and no one can do anything about it."..."Qingluo, Ge'er told you to clean this up." Feng Yannie handed the golden silkworm robe to Qingluo.

"Oh, okay." Qing Luo took the golden silkworm robe with one hand and covered her eyes with the other.

"Qing Luo, what's wrong with your eyes" Feng Yan Niang saw her such strange movements, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Oh, I don't know how it happened either. Since this morning, my left eyelid has been twitching constantly. I remember the mistress saying before that a twitching left eyelid means disaster, while a twitching right eyelid means fortune. She said to press it with paper and it would stop."

Feng Yian listened and couldn't help but smile: "Little superstitious, you still believe this." As a member of the martial arts world, she naturally didn't believe in these things. After listening, she smiled and shook her head, not taking it to heart.

"Those who believe, there are; those who don't, there aren't. Abbot, I've gone to wash up, you carry on with your work." Qing Luo giggled and, holding the golden silkworm robe, left.

At a certain point in the garden.

All the fathers and husbands of the women who had discussed Xiao Yuge at the amusement park were brought into the garden by Qian Tingxuan's men.

Only Qian Tingxuan was lying leisurely by the pond, seemingly oblivious to their arrival. Under his mask, a pair of cold eyes glinted with ruthlessness, making the atmosphere there rather eerie.

The man was brought here by someone else, yet he was left there unattended. This silence from the King made the officials anxious: what on earth did this prince intend to do

“Your Highness, I wonder why you summoned us here” A brave official stepped forward and asked respectfully. They all thought the King had something urgent to discuss with them, but seeing him so nonchalant, with such cold eyes, they couldn't help but shiver in fear.

They all knew that the Prince never involved himself in politics and seemed to have no power or influence. But everyone knew better than to mess with him. The more nonchalant he appeared, the more unsettling it became.

"Ming Yang!" Qian Tingxuan gave Ming Yang a look with his hand.

Ming Yang understood, cleared his throat, and pointed at the lotus pond in front of them: “My Lords, jump in!”

What

Those officials looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of the Wang Ye's intentions. After all, while the weather was warming up, the water was still incredibly cold. To jump in like this would surely result in freezing to death.

"My lords, you have only two choices. One is that I have my men throw you down, the other is that you jump yourselves!" Qian Tingxuan spoke coldly.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this We don't recall ever offending you." Those officials were not convinced. They were at least a few ranks high officials. Even if Qian Tingxuan was a prince, he couldn't humiliate them without reason.

"That's it, this king will tell you the reason!" Qian Tingxuan gave Mingyang a look, his tone leaving no room for discussion.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that we will petition the Emperor" an official threatened, but his words were met with a swift kick from Ming Yang, sending him splashing into the pond!

"My Lord!" Upon seeing this, everyone else instinctively took a step back in alarm.

As a result, without exception, they either voluntarily walked into the pond or were pushed in. They were mostly unarmed civilian officials who stood no chance against Mingyang and his men.

Qian Tingxuan sipped his fine tea, watching with quiet amusement as the officials shivered uncontrollably in the water: Dare to insult his little songbird Then let them have a good memory of this.

One hour passed, and the officials shivered in the pond. Their teeth chattering sounded like a strange, perfectly synchronized chorus from afar, incredibly funny to hear. Ming Yang on the side kept forcing himself to endure it, almost feeling internal injury coming on.

“My lord, where have we gone wrong Please enlighten us. We will rectify our mistakes immediately. Please show us mercy. This water is too cold; our legs are numb.” Some officials could bear it no longer. If this continued, they felt they would end up meeting their demise in this pond.

At this point, Qian Tingxuan slowly stood up and patted the slightly creased corner of his clothes: "The women in your family bullied my little princess at the Garden Party. Although I am a rough and uncouth man, I never hit women, so all I can do is come to you for an explanation."

This argument is an argument, and you can't just say nothing and throw people into this cold pond! It's better to apologize with a head bow and wooden board beating than to be strong in this icy water.

At this moment, those officials all cried out in their hearts. They were wronged! It turned out that they had endured all of this because of their own wives who were spendthrift and incompetent Humph! I'll settle with them when I get back!

"My lord, please rest assured, after I return, I will definitely discipline that shrew well!"

"Your Highness, please calm your anger! After I return, I will definitely give those two incompetent maids a good scolding!"

"Your Grace is merciful! This lowly one will return and divorce that woman!"

Only then did the officials realize that they had offended the Wangye's scales by harming someone close to him. Before this, they had heard rumors about the Wangye's affection for the second Miss Xiao of the Xiao family, but dismissed them as exaggerated gossip. It wasn't until now that they truly understood the depth of the Wangye's love for Miss Xiao Er.

Qianting Xuan took out his marriage certificate with Xiao Yuge: "Everyone, look carefully, this is the marriage certificate of this king and his little princess. She is already the princess officially married to this king. Keeping it private is just because my little princess is shy. It's a matter between husband and wife. If you can't control the mouths of those in your families, and even a single word reaches my little princess' ears, this king doesn't mind making them forever unable to speak!"

“Yes, yes, yes! After we go back, we will definitely educate them well. Please forgive us, Your Highness!” The officials only then realized what kind of trouble those women in their families had caused. With the Duke's thunderous methods, today he only threw them into the pond. If there were to be another incident, they estimated that he would directly kill them. Just thinking about this, they couldn't help but wipe their sweat.

When Qian Tingxuan saw that the time was almost up, he waved his hand and said: "Alright, remember what you said. Come on up."

"Thanks, Lord Wang!" Those people shook their stiff bodies and trembled as they left one after another.

"Mingyang, go to Ruyifang!"

Qiantingxuan avenged Xiaoger, feeling great, and strode toward Ruyifang.

It turned out that after Xiao Zhan took Xiao Yuge out, he finally explained his intention. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuge naturally did not refuse; she couldn't refuse either. The kindness of the Xiao family in raising her, she couldn't forget. She directly followed him to the Xiangfu, and the national teacher had already been invited back to wait there for a long time.

When Xiao Yu Ge saw the Grand Tutor, she seemed to understand something.

Xiao Yu Fu and the female servants of the household were individually trying blood, as the national envoy had said, their blood slowly became cloudy after touching the bowl of water. After that, it was Xiao Yu Ge's turn.er returning to Beijing to meddle in worldly affairs. By then, it would be too late for anyone to speak of her as a woman of auspicious fortune. Even if someone revealed the truth about her being the...
