The Eighth Prince's wife was being talked about, so naturally she wouldn't let it go.

The person beside her frowned and said coldly, "How dare you! Who gave you permission to speak like that? Making a scene in public is wrong in itself. You dare to talk back after the master has said something. Who gave you the guts? Come over here and apologize to the master."

Upon hearing the old woman's words, Ji Xinyi laughed, and Ming Shu also laughed. The two did not get along, but they had one thing in common: they were extremely confident in their identities.

I don't know how I developed this personality.

Ming Shu mocked Ji Xinyi, "Didn't you hear me? I told you to apologize!"

Ji Xinyi's face turned ashen, and she looked displeased.

Before she could speak, the old woman said to Ming Shu, "What are you laughing at? You're partly responsible for making a scene in public. Come over here and apologize."

Ming Shu could no longer laugh upon hearing this.

She apologized?

Asking her to apologize to someone she doesn't even know is absolutely out of the question.

She immediately sneered, "Who is your master! You dare ask me to apologize? Do you even know who my father is?"

The old woman was stunned by these words. Although she was a servant, she served the prince's wife and usually interacted with masters of similar status, so she would not lose her composure. This was the first time she had ever heard of someone trying to compete with the emperor's son and daughter-in-law in terms of their father's status.

Ming Shu said, "My father is the prefect. You should apologize to me right now, or I will have my father punish you."

She was still not satisfied after saying that, and decided to drag Ji Xinyi along with her. She said to Ji Xinyi, "You were so eloquent just now, but now that you've been bullied, you're silent."

Ji Xinyi finally realized what was going on. She and Ming Shu were on equal footing, but this random person from who-knows-where had the nerve to lecture her.

She suddenly got a little carried away.

He said, "My father is the Pacification Commissioner. Apologize now, or my father will make you regret it."

The two of them made the Eighth Prince and his wife laugh with just a few words, and they really dared to say something like that to punish them.

The Eighth Prince's gentle smile vanished: "So this is the daughter of the Prefect and the Pacification Commissioner. She's really not very good. This arrogant and domineering attitude must have been cultivated by the Prefect and the Pacification Commissioner's deliberate indulgence. I think your father doesn't know how to teach his daughter. Why don't I teach you what manners are?"

After saying that, the Eighth Prince said to the people behind him, "Tie him up."

Insulting the prince and his wife in public and threatening them will not end well.

Ji Xinyi and Ming Shu were stunned by what they saw. They had already introduced themselves, so logically the other party should have admitted their mistake and apologized. How could they still have the audacity to kidnap them?

Some of them reacted quickly. Liu Yu'er felt that something was wrong. The other party seemed to have an extraordinary aura. She had heard that her uncle had received distinguished guests a few days ago. Could it be that they had really kicked a hornet's nest?

Liu Yu'er's mind raced, and she immediately said, "Young master, madam, today's matter was indeed our fault. It was just a quarrel between young ladies that upset you and spoiled your mood. We have offended you greatly and hope you will forgive us. We hope you will not hold a grudge and let this matter drop."

Liu Yu'er's apology was quite sincere.

The Eighth Prince was furious, and besides, a prince's dignity cannot be trampled on by others.

Before the Eighth Prince could say anything, Ming Shu said, "He really is a dog raised by the Ji family, fawning over people at will. He is truly not worthy of being called respectable."

"Today I'll see who dares to touch me. If anyone does, I'll make my father kill their entire clan."

Upon hearing this, everyone around the Eighth Prince and his wife was shocked.

The entire clan of the Eighth Prince and his wife, including His Majesty, is involved. This daughter of Prefect Ming is truly courageous.

Ignorance breeds fearlessness; they dare to say anything.

When Ji Xinyi saw Ming Shu make some harsh remarks, her competitive spirit resurfaced, and she followed suit with her own harsh words.

Without considering Liu Yu'er's words, he continued, "If you know what's good for you, kneel down and apologize to me. Otherwise, I'll make you all experience what it's like to be in the dungeon."

Ji Xinyi and Ming Shu are both ruthless. Regardless of whether they will actually do it, once the words are spoken, they will indeed infuriate the Eighth Prince and his wife.

The Eighth Prince had finally gotten a chance to ease tensions with his wife, but then a few troublemakers came along, making him furious.

Because of Prince An's favor, even her maternal grandmother dared not speak to her so openly from childhood; at most, she would only say things that were subtly hurtful.

Make her kneel down and apologize, kill her entire clan, and let her experience the taste of the dungeon.

good! !

Excellent!!!

How dare someone speak to her like that? They must be tired of living on earth and want to see the underworld, huh?

Before the Eighth Prince could speak, the Eighth Princess Consort said, "Quickly tie this person up and send him to the yamen. Then go and invite the prefect and the pacification commissioner over so they can see what kind of good daughter they've raised. She's really fearless and dares to threaten people into going to jail without any evidence. She has absolutely no regard for the law. If a daughter is like this, then her father must be an accomplice to evil. How can such a person be an official? How can the people live in peace and prosperity under the control of such officials?"

Despite her usual arrogance, the Eighth Prince's wife is quite eloquent and can spout profound truths. At least Ming Shu and Ji Xinyi were somewhat intimidated by her.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, Yinzhen had Su Peisheng pay for several more sets of jewelry. Then someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince and his wife have also arrived today. They are downstairs and are having a commotion with the Ming and Ji families. The Eighth Prince's wife is about to kidnap someone."

Tong Cheng'er became curious. She remembered that the Eighth Prince's wife seemed a bit arrogant and indifferent to everyone. As long as you don't provoke her, she usually won't bother others.

"How did your eighth sister-in-law get into an argument with someone?"

The man explained, and after listening, Tong Cheng'er thought to herself that it was no wonder; the Ji family and Ming Shu's daughter had indeed raised her to be rather naive.

However, it is said that Ming Shu is the eldest daughter of the prefect's late wife, and Ji Xinyi is the younger daughter who looks similar to the envoy. It is understandable that he has always been overly pampered.

Yinzhen also overheard it, and after hearing it, he was somewhat bewildered. The situation was not developing as he had expected, but it was actually better than before.

Tong Cheng'er said, "That's about enough, let's go down and take a look!"

Tong Cheng'er knew what Yinzhen was thinking.

Yinzhen didn't stand on ceremony and had Su Peisheng pay for two more sets of jewelry before taking Tong Cheng'er downstairs.

When the two came downstairs, the Eighth Prince's men had just tied up the people from the Ming and Ji families, showing them no mercy whatsoever.

The shopkeeper and the errand boys stood by, looking trembling with fear, trying to calm things down.

After all, he was just a jewelry shop owner, a businessman, unlike an official. If the daughters of the prefect and the pacification commissioner had an accident in his shop, what good could he possibly do?

The Eighth Prince, of course, wasn't buying his act. He didn't even bother buying the jewelry; he simply wanted to take the person away.
