Chapter 377 Apologize to My Daughter

"You...you...you've gone too far!"

Miss Cui Shiyi could no longer maintain the calm on her face.

Those around her immediately began to criticize Er Ya, saying, "You must apologize to Miss Eleven today!"

"Miss Cui is not someone you can afford to offend. If you know what's good for you, you'd better apologize right now."

Er Ya spoke up, saying, "Who do you think you are? You think I'll apologize just because you say so? Wouldn't that make me lose face?"

"Besides, no one else has even barked yet, and you're already barking like a dog. Even a dog wouldn't be this loyal and eager. What do you call a lackey?"

The Minister of War's son clenched his fists. "I can't take this anymore! I have to teach you a lesson today!"

Miss Cui quickly stopped him, "Alright, Young Master Chen, this is the palace. Don't lower yourself to the level of a country bumpkin. It'll only make you look bad."

"Tch, don't lower yourself to the level."

Er Ya deliberately emphasized the word "identity".

They want to investigate her father? Go ahead and do it if you dare.

"You've gone too far!" Young Master Chen, unable to contain himself any longer, raised his fist.

Dan Ling turned pale with fright and tried to block it.

Er Ya pulled the person behind her and sneered, "Try pushing me, and see if I don't slap you across the face! A gentleman uses words, not fists, haven't you learned that?"

She's seen all sorts of scoundrels and ruffians over the years, and she's never slacked off in her martial arts skills. With Chen's spineless appearance, it's no wonder he can't beat her.

"You bastard..."

Just as Young Master Chen raised his hand, Er Ya's slap grazed his face, missing him, but his face stung with pain.

"Ah—you actually dared to hit someone in the palace?! Young Master Chen, are you alright?"

"What are you all doing here? Who hit someone?"

Another group of young masters arrived, led by Pei Si.

"Young Master Pei the Fourth".

"..."

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Outside Consort Xian's palace, several young ladies and gentlemen are arguing."

Lin Suying, who was chatting with Ye Wan, was taken aback.

The next second, a flamboyantly dressed woman gracefully approached.

"Where did this palace servant come from? So ignorant of etiquette! What do you mean by 'it's bad'? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all!"

The palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground.

The person who came was Consort Xian, who is now the Imperial Noble Consort Xian after the princess's marriage.

"Your Majesty, the weather is so nice today. I've come out to ask for a cup of wine as well." Consort Xian bowed to Lin Suying.

Lin Suyi smiled and offered her a seat, "It's rare that you've come out. I thought you wouldn't come today."

"Isn't this all to come out and see the excitement? I don't grow lotus flowers in my side hall, I never expected it to be so lively." Consort Xian sat down to Lin Suyi's left.

The ladies present bowed to Consort Xian.

Then a lady nearby gossiped, "I heard that the young masters and ladies were arguing. Does Her Highness know about this?"

I was just sitting here getting bored, and then I unexpectedly found myself watching the drama unfold.

Anyway, her child is young and didn't come today, so she's just enjoying someone else's gossip.

"Oh, this is just a little fight between a few children, it's nothing serious." Consort Xian admired her fingers.

Her nails had a new design, and they looked absolutely gorgeous. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, they'll be here in a bit."

"Look, isn't that it?"

As Consort Xian spoke, everyone looked up and saw a group of young men and women arriving not far away.

"Don't be afraid, why are you shaking?"

Er Ya grabbed Shan Ling, who was trembling violently and almost crying.

"I'm so sorry. If I hadn't said I wanted to see the lotus flowers, I wouldn't have caused you any trouble. What should we do now?"

These families were all better off than hers. It was her first time entering the palace, and she never expected to cause such a big problem.

Her father offended someone, and she also dragged down her new friend whom she had just met.

Seeing that she was really scared, Er Ya whispered, "Just stay behind me and don't make a sound. It's none of your business."

Everyone bowed to the Empress and the Imperial Concubine.

"What's going on here?"

Lin Suyi saw that the young men and women had arrived and asked.

Ye Wan's gaze fell on Er Ya, and seeing her proud and arrogant appearance, she knew it was related to Er Ya.

It seems like they didn't suffer any losses, which is good.

"This young lady has scratched Mr. Chen's face!"

The wife of the Minister of War was stunned.

"You must speak clearly. Your Majesty, this is the situation."

Er Ya rattled off a whole story, "He tried to hit me first. How dare a man like him hit me? I just blocked him and accidentally grazed him."

Despite her fear, Shan Ling testified for Er Ya, "Yes, that's exactly what happened."

It all started because of her. If she had just been sitting in the Imperial Garden instead of looking at the lotus flowers, none of this would have happened.

Sitting in the corner, Madam Shan's palms were sweating with anxiety. The people her daughter had offended were all people of high status.

She didn't recognize the young lady next to her; she guessed she was going to be punished today.

Young Master Chen was humiliated and was already furious. "It's clearly you who have no manners and dares to be disrespectful to the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Are you out of your mind? You came up here like a rabid dog, and all of you. I was just enjoying the lotus flowers, who did I bother? Why did you have to show off and keep calling me ill-mannered and saying that talking to me lowers my status? You should at least shut up..."

Er Ya cursed nonstop, leaving no room for others to interrupt, much to the astonishment of the ladies present.

"Madam Pei, is this the second young lady of the Lin family?"

A very small number of people still have some impression of Er Ya.

Madam Pei was one of them, and she didn't really want to talk at the moment.

I've never seen such a feisty young girl; she could scold ten people at once and not be at a disadvantage.

"Alright, shut up!"

Ye Wan suddenly spoke, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Dan Ling was almost crying with fright, and kept tugging at Er Ya's sleeve.

Er Ya stopped talking and stood obediently in place, secretly squeezing Shan Ling's hand.

"Whose daughter are you? How can you be so ill-mannered?"

The Cui family couldn't sit still any longer. They had worked so hard to build a good reputation for their daughter, and they couldn't let anyone ruin it like this.

Shan Ling's mother hurriedly came out, "Your Majesty..."

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I didn't know how to say them.

Er Ya had already started talking, "Does your daughter have any manners? If she has any manners, how can she interrupt so casually and look down on people?"

Many people began to feel secretly pleased. This brat dared to speak like that in front of so many ladies. Today is a matchmaking banquet. Isn't she afraid that she won't be able to get married?

Ye Wan glanced at the Cui family members and said expressionlessly, "A palace servant has already explained the cause and effect."

"Young Master Chen, Miss Cui, this whole thing started because of you. Please apologize to my daughter!"

Young Master Chen: ?!

Miss Cui Shiyi: ? ?

Everyone present: !!

No, who apologizes to whom? Did they hear that right?

And this shrew-like woman is actually the second young lady of the Lin family?

"Madam Lin, so this is the Second Miss. Oh dear, look at you, young people after all. You become friends after a fight. Quickly, Bing'er, apologize to the Second Miss. You're such a good boy!" The wife of the Minister of War smiled and gestured for her good-for-nothing son to apologize quickly.

She could barely keep her smile going; she had just been about to bring up marriage, but this idiot had messed things up.

What a fool!
