The glittering golden hairpin was broken into two pieces. Chu Shiyu loosened his grip and let the hairpin fall to the ground.

The crisp sound was like a loud thunder, hitting Banyao's heart heavily.

Ban Yao suddenly came back to her senses and shouted in disbelief, "Master Chu, what are you doing? This is a gift from the Saint to Miss Ruan."

"As the Saintess of Tianlou, if you want to give a gift, you should give something presentable. Otherwise, don't come out and embarrass yourself."

Chu Shiyu glanced at Ban Yao coldly.

Ban Yao's face turned pale. "What does this mean, Young Master Chu? Are you dissatisfied with the Saint's gift?"

Chu Shiyu's eyes suddenly turned cold and intimidating. He stared coldly at Ban Yao, "I didn't want to pay attention to those rumors from the outside world, but Tianlou actually took it too far and dared to use a hairpin to sow discord between me and my fiancée. He deserves death!

I will ask you, Tianlou, what are your intentions later!"

Banyao's face turned even paler, and her body swayed. "Master Chu, how did Banyao make you unhappy? Please tell me, Master Chu, and I will change."

My Saint is very tolerant and generous, and I absolutely have no other intentions. I hope that Young Master and Miss Ruan will not misunderstand..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ruan Qiao.

"Yes, I remember now. There are some groundless rumors spreading in the outside world!"

Ruan Qiao's lips curled slightly, but her eyes were cold.

"It's rumored outside that Chu Shiyu is a heartless man, and the Saintess of Tianlou is infatuated with him. The Chu family and Tianlou also planned to form a marriage, but the result..."

Ruan Qiao laughed sarcastically: "As a result, Chu Shiyu went out for a trip, but brought back a little lover, who came between Chu Shiyu and the Saintess of Tianlou!

This hairpin is something you insert in your hair. By giving me this gift, the Saintess of Tianlou is implying that I am the third person between them, right?

Ruan Qiao spoke bluntly, and not only were the audience members fed up with the gossip, but Ban Yao was also frightened when she heard it.

The Saint didn’t mean that!

Ruan Qiao was right, this hairpin was used to humiliate Ruan Qiao!

However, it was her own idea to choose this hairpin as a gift, and the saint had no idea about it!

"No, that's not what the Saint meant. I just said that I chose this gift myself!"

Ban Yao was afraid that her behavior would affect the image of the Saint in Chu Shaozun's mind.

"What a joke!" Ruan Qiao interrupted harshly.

"You are someone the Saint of Tianlou trusts, right? How could the Saint of Tianlou not understand your character and your behavior?

What would you do? She knows it all without being told. How dare you quibble? "

Ban Yao's expression changed. She glared at Ruan Qiao angrily. "Even though you're the Jiang Clan's last disciple and are favored by Master Chu, you shouldn't be ignorant of your place in society. Who told you to speak to me like that? Do you even know who I am?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ban Yao instantly stood up straight, holding her head high and chest out, with a hint of sneer at the corners of her lips.

Ruan Qiao tilted her head and asked Chu Shiyu, "Besides being the maid of the Holy Maiden of Tianlou, does she have any other identity?"

"I'm a subordinate, not a maid!" The word "maid" made Ban Yao's face turn pale.

Ruan Qiao ignored her and just looked at Chu Shiyu.

Chu Shiyu's eyes flashed with a sinister look. He looked at Ban Yao and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency?"

"You're just a member of the Tianlou slave family, and you dare to talk about hierarchy here? White Scorpion, slap your face!"

Bai Xie sneered and without waiting for Ban Yao to react, he swept out with a palm wind.

With a loud slap, Ban Yao's cheek was slapped hard. She screamed and flew backwards.

"ah!"

Ban Yao screamed and fell to the ground.

"Miss Banyao!"

The four bodyguards behind Ban Yao all changed their expressions. Two of them stepped forward to support Ban Yao, while the other two looked at Bai Xie warily, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Ban Yao was helped up by two bodyguards. Half of her cheek was swollen like a bun, and the corners of her eyes were bloodshot. She looked at Chu Shiyu with fear on her face.

"Mr. Chu is right. Banyao shouldn't have mentioned hierarchy in front of Miss Ruan. After all, Miss Ruan doesn't come from a high-class family, and Banyao's words could easily hurt her pride.

But my Qu family is also a famous family. It is too much for Chu Shaozun to say that we are a family of slaves!

Moreover, Chu Shizun allowed Lord Baixie to beat me like this, so does he really not care about the Saint's reputation?"

"Am I wrong? Aren't the Qu family servants of the Tianlou? Or do you intend to break away from the Tianlou?"

As soon as these words came out, Ban Yao's face turned pale.

"Young Master Chu's words are heartbreaking. The Qu family is loyal to Tianlou and has no intention of betraying us!"

Ban Yao defended herself hastily.

"Oh, what a loyal servant!" Ruan Qiao sighed.

Ban Yao's face froze, and her eyes stared at Ruan Qiao.

Chu Shiyu looked at Ruan Qiao and said, "Qiaoqiao, I'm not familiar with the Saintess of Tianlou. As for those rumors outside, I don't know who spread them."

Ruan Qiao nodded, her face sincere: "Shi Yu, I believe you, I think it was spread by the people in Tianlou. Their Saint wants to marry you, so they deliberately spread this rumor to force you to marry her!"

"Qiaoqiao is so smart! I'll go to Tianlou and ask them clearly. If they don't explain, I won't let them go!"

You were talking to each other, just deliberately speaking for everyone present to hear.

At this point, everyone could see clearly that Chu Shiyu had absolutely no interest in the Holy Maiden of Tianlou!

In other words, Chu Shaozun really wants to fall out with Tianlou for Ruan Qiao!

When they thought about it carefully, it seemed that the rumors about Chu Shaozun and the Holy Maiden of Tianlou really came from nowhere, and Chu Shaozun seemed to have never admitted it.
