"These are my second daughter Yaoyu and my third daughter Yujiao." Liu Ci Fu introduced them briefly and to the point, without any servility in his words.

Everyone else in the hall sat properly, not daring to look at Cheng Ying.

However, Liu Ziqi noticed that Cheng Ying had been looking at Yu Jiao, and frowned slightly. He had never heard that Cheng Ying was fond of beautiful women before, but half a year ago, Fan Zeng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, sent a woman to the house outside Cheng Ying's palace, and it was said that the woman was very favored.

"Yu Jiao..." These two words came out from Cheng Ying's lips and teeth, very lightly, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

Yu Jiao had her head lowered at first, not looking at him, but after hearing the soft murmur, she suddenly raised her head, came to her senses, and quickly lowered her eyes again.

She was really hysterical. Yu Jiao actually mistook the voice just now for that of her senior brother Fu Chuan.

Every time senior brother called her name, it was extremely gentle and doting, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world. However, senior brother most often called her Jiaojiao and rarely called her by her name directly.

"Your name is Yu Jiao, right? This name is very good, but people with too weak destiny are not worthy of this name." Cheng Ying did not notice Yu Jiao's strangeness at that moment. She stared at Yu Jiao with a smile, her eyes raised high. There was no smile in her narrow and gorgeous phoenix eyes, but a sinister look that was frightening.

The hall was completely silent, as everyone was worried about the third daughter of the Liu family. Liu Ci Fu had finally found his daughter, but the little girl didn't know what bad luck had befallen her. On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, she attracted the attention of Cheng Ying. Being noticed by Governor Cheng was obviously not a good thing!

Even a name is being picked on.

People who are immersed in political gamesmanship are always very alert to danger. Liu Cifu's expression did not change, but his words showed a concession, "My daughter is coming of age today. I just gave her a courtesy name of Yu Ning. I hope she will live a peaceful and harmonious life. You can just call her Yu Ning."

Cheng Ying played with the word "Yu Ning" on her tongue and said with a hint of disdain, "Liu Ci Fu is very talented, and the two names he chose are not bad, but they don't sound as pleasant as her original name."

Being very picky about the little girl's name, and disliking that the little girl's courtesy name was not as pleasant as her name, it was obvious that Cheng Dugong was deliberately looking for trouble. Everyone in the hall thought so, but they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and no one dared to stand up for Yu Jiao.

Yu Qizhe clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists. He wanted to stand up regardless of anything, pull Yu Jiao behind him and protect her.

But he was just an unknown person. Everyone in this hall held an official position. The reason why he could come to Liu's house for the banquet today was all because of Yu Jiao.

Even if he really rushed out at this time, it would only cause trouble for Yu Jiao. Cheng Dugong would not even need to ask who he was and could deal with him at will.

Seeing that the little girl was still keeping her head down and seemed to have no temper, Cheng Ying suddenly smiled and stroked the smooth fur of the rabbit in his arms. "It's just that I don't like to hear people call you Yu Jiao. From now on, don't use this name outside. You should still be called Yuning."

Yu Jiao was inexplicably indignant. Coming from another world, her appearance had changed, and all traces of her previous life were gone. Only this name was the only thing that accompanied her from another world to Taiyan, and only this name was the only bond she had with her previous life.

When she returned to the Liu family to be included in the family tree, her father Liu Yu had thought of changing her name, but Yu Jiao said that she was already used to this name, so Madam Liu decided not to ask Yu Jiao to change her name and only added the surname Liu in front of it.

"If the Governor doesn't like it, then I can't call myself by this name? That's too overbearing." Yu Jiao raised her eyes and looked directly at Cheng Ying. She had never been a timid person. Anyway, she had already heard what she shouldn't have heard. If Cheng Ying wanted to silence her, then he could do it. Why should she stand here and let him tease her like a clown?

She said that her fate was not worthy of the name. She was being picky in an inexplicable way just to make trouble for her.

When other people in the hall heard Yu Jiao talking to Cheng Ying like this, they were so scared that their breath rose to their chest. This man was Cheng Dugong, who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else. In the palace, apart from the emperor, even Concubine Xue and the empress had to respect him and he was the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department. Anyone who offended him would never have a good ending!

The third daughter of the Liu family was so bold as to contradict him, was she trying to kill herself?

Cheng Ying seemed to have heard something very funny. He suddenly laughed. His laughter was low and deep. Although it was a little feminine, it did not have the shrillness of a eunuch. His face, which was both evil and righteous, had a breathtaking handsomeness because of this smile. This feminine handsomeness did not have the slightest femininity.

Just looking at him as a person, it's easy to forget that he's not perfect.

Cheng Ying has been in power for many years and holds too much authority. Few people dare to speak to him like this over the years. Those who dared to offend him in person in the past years are probably dead and decayed by now, and their bones may have been chewed up and swallowed by some dog.

Cheng Ying stroked the wrinkles on his cuffs caused by the rabbit, chuckled and said, "Bossy, yes, I am extremely bossy." He raised his narrow eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him who had just said offensive words but was calm and composed. He found it more and more interesting. The timid little girl back then was now bold enough to talk back to him!
