After saying this, he looked at Mu Xin and Gu Qing behind Wu Xian'er, nodded slightly and said, "Princess, Madam Chen."

Mu Xin nodded, and Gu Qing also looked at him, with determination and encouragement in his eyes.

She understood that Zhao Qi was a kind person. After years of conspiracy and calculation, he finally became as decisive as he was today.

If Zhao Qi forgives Wu Xianer today, he will have a difficult road ahead in the future.

Wu Xian'er lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. The fear and caution in her eyes turned into resentment and paranoia.

She raised her head with red eyes and tears on her face, questioning Zhao Qi word by word, "Are you serious? Do you want to do this?"

Zhao Qi met her gaze.

He had tolerated and feared Wu Xian'er for many years, and had thought that marrying her in this state of his was an injustice to her. But now he thought that Wu Xian'er's behavior today was due to his years of indulgence.

He is also a man with great ambitions, but he is trapped in Wu Xian'er's humiliation and torture and cannot stand on his own.

Zhao Qi said firmly, "Our fate has ended. There is no need to say more in the future."

When these words were spoken, all the noble ladies in the capital were shocked and sighed. Those who were watching the fun secretly laughed at Wu Xian'er for bringing shame upon herself.

Gu Qing was a little tired and didn't want to see Wu Xian'er feeling sorry for herself. He immediately pulled Mu Xin and said, "It's getting late. How about going to my house to have lunch together today?"

"Okay, let's go." There was still a hint of worry in Mu Xin's eyes. She glanced at Zhao Qi and felt quite helpless.

This poor sickly boy was actually bullied by Wu Xian'er to such an extent. I don't know how the Duke of Zhao will be able to support himself in the capital in the future.

Gu Qing and Mu Xin passed by Wu Xian'er. The latter suddenly remembered that all this was because of the Chen couple. Then she became furious and wished she could tear Gu Qing into pieces.

She suddenly turned around and glared at Gu Qing, shouting angrily: "Gu Qing! You bitch! It's all because of you!" After that, she rushed towards Gu Qing and reached out to grab her hair.

Gu Qing subconsciously turned sideways, but Wu Xian'er rushed towards her like a madman and knocked her to the ground.

Everyone in Nishang Pavilion had a look of horror on their faces.

Gu Qing was pinned down by Wu Xian'er, and he suddenly regretted leaving Yinghong at the mansion to keep an eye on Bai and Lu.

As a secret guard, Xuanfeng should not take action in front of the noble family at this moment.

"Bitch! I'll kill you!"

Qu Lingling and Du Qing were filled with surprise, and then they showed joy. They wished that Wu Xian'er would attack and kill Gu Qing right then and there, so that they would not have to worry about it in the future.

"Wu Xian'er is such a lunatic!" Qu Lingling pretended to be scared.

Du Qing, however, gloated and said, "Today's show is truly even better than any Southern Opera Troupe!"

Mu Xin and Zhao Qi reacted and immediately came over to pull people away. Wu Xian'er had already gone crazy. She pulled out the hairpin in her hair and was about to stab Gu Qing in the face.

Gu Qing subconsciously covered his face and blocked Wu Xian'er's arm with one hand. At the critical moment, Mu Xin became furious and pulled out the whip from his waist, and then the whip fell on Wu Xian'er.

"How dare you touch this princess's people!" The princess's majesty was fully displayed. Wu Xian'er was knocked down and lay on the ground grinning.

Mu Xin used all her strength. Zhao Qi wanted to stop her, but she yelled at him, "Get out!"

"Today, this princess will teach this ignorant person a lesson. He dared to injure others in public under the emperor's feet. Where is the law?"

"Snap!" Another whip came, this time hitting Wu Xian'er's thigh. At this moment, bloody red blood was oozing from her back and lower body. The female relatives were so scared that they hid aside and dared not say anything.

No one dared to stop her, and no one dared to speak for Wu Xianer.

Perhaps the two lashes calmed her down. Wu Xian'er was so frightened that she quickly got up and begged for mercy: "Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me!"

Mu Xin wanted to whip her again to vent his anger.

At this moment, Gu Qing slowly got up from the ground and held her arm: "Xin'er, it will be difficult to explain if you kill someone."

"Anyway, she didn't really hurt me." She held her breath today because of Wu Xian'er's identity as the daughter of the Censor. When the Wu family falls, she will definitely avenge today's humiliation.

Gu Qing turned around and stared at Wu Xian'er, who was kneeling on the ground in a state of disarray. He straightened his clothes and held Mu Xin's hand: "Xin'er, the plum blossom pastry in the mansion is ready. If it is left for a long time, it will become soft and not tasty."

Seeing Gu Qing's forbearance, Mu Xin was furious. He pointed at Wu Xian'er and shouted, "If you dare to hurt Gu Qing again in the future, I will beat you to death!"

"Also! If you dare to cause trouble for Zhao Qi again, be careful or I won't give you face!"

After saying that, Mu Xin looked around at the people watching the excitement: "And you! What are you looking at! Get out of here!"

The fact that Princess Huafeng had lost her temper over the wife of the third young master of the Chen family became known to everyone within an hour.

At this moment, a servant came to the Chen Mansion with a red wooden box. "Madam Chen Sanshao, this is an apology gift from my young master, the Duke of Guo. Today, due to my own family affairs, I accidentally dragged you into this. I am really upset. I ask that you accept it."

After saying this, he opened the box, and inside was a mutton-fat jade Ruyi, which was crystal clear and smooth, and was a top-quality product.

Mu Xin glanced at him coldly, took a fierce bite of the peach blossom pastry, and sneered, "Now you know to apologize. You shouldn't have provoked a scoundrel like Wu Xian'er earlier!"

The servant of the Duke's Mansion saw Princess Huafeng get angry and hit someone today. He was so scared that he hunched over and lowered his head, not daring to look at her any more.

Gu Qing smiled and let Cui Ping accept it, comforting her: "Thank you, young master. What happened today was not his fault. Please rest assured."

"Thank you, Madam Third Young Master, for your magnanimity." The servant retreated respectfully.

Mu Xin glared at him and said angrily, "You just have a good temper. Why did you stop me today?"

Gu Qing had no choice but to pour her a cup of tea. "After all, Wu Xian'er's father is the imperial censor, and her mother is Zhao Qi's aunt. Ultimately, this is the Zhao family's private matter."

"If you kill Wu Xian'er today, the Duke of Zhao will only be in an even more difficult position. His Majesty is trying to appease the important officials. I'm worried that you will get into some unnecessary trouble." Gu Qing sighed.

Mu Xin was born in a marquis's family and was spoiled on a daily basis.

Although he didn't keep these things in mind, he was aware of the general situation. Now, listening to what Gu Qing said, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.

"Qing'er, I originally thought you were as straightforward and open-minded as I am. Today I know that you are also a thoughtful person, more stable than me. No wonder my brother thinks so highly of you."

Mu Xin blurted out.

Hearing this, Gu Qing's expression changed slightly, and she immediately said, "It is my blessing that Prince Mu appreciates me, but I am just a wife, and I have to live by my husband's side after all."

Although the speaker said it unintentionally, the listener took it to heart. The Chen family's yard was not a peaceful place.

Fortunately, there were trustworthy people around him, so Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
