He Xue, a modern woman with a keen interest in Qing Dynasty history, felt regret over the fate of the deposed Crown Prince, believing he didn't deserve such an end. If given the chance, she was...
Jing Shu was supporting Shu Yi at the time, and it was too late to stop He Xue. "Little sister, you can't!"
Putting aside Tana's identity, just the fact that He Xue hit someone means that even if they were in the right, they are now in the wrong.
Moreover, he had heard that Prince An had lost both of Tana's parents and doted on her very much, which had led to Tana's arrogant and domineering personality.
Although they were not afraid of Prince An, he did not want this matter to have a negative impact on He Xue.
The people around were also very shocked, never expecting that a little girl like Xue could have such a ruthless side.
Tana was completely frightened by He Xue's actions and didn't know how to dodge for a moment.
As He Xue's hand was about to land on Tana's face, Tana closed her eyes in fear.
He Xue's hand stopped just a hair's breadth away from Tana's face.
Tana's face didn't hurt as much as she had imagined. When Tana opened her eyes, she saw that He Xue's hand hadn't landed on her face.
Tana immediately took a few steps back. "How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?"
He Xue laughed dismissively, "Did I hit you?"
"You...you just want to hit me!" Tana said.
"Didn't I fail to hit you?" Kazuyuki said.
"You almost hit me!" Tana yelled.
“You said it yourself, it was almost!” After saying that, He Xue raised an eyebrow, mimicking Tana’s earlier gesture.
At this moment, Jing Shu and Shu Yi also understood He Xue's purpose.
"You..." Tana was really furious with He Xue, who actually used her words to shut her up.
Suddenly someone shouted, "The people from the Infantry Commander's Office are here!"
"Big brother, take second brother to the clinic!" Xue, no longer bothering to argue with Tana, immediately turned to Jing Shu and said.
Shuyi knew that Jingshu needed to participate in the imperial examination and that nothing could go wrong. "Big brother, you should go back. I'll stay with Hexue!"
"I'm the older brother, how can I abandon my younger siblings!" Jing Shu disagreed with leaving.
"Brother, I will protect He Xue. You should go now! We can't let this affect your scientific expedition!" Shu Yi said anxiously to Jing Shu.
"I won't abandon you. If we can't participate in the scientific expedition, then we won't participate!" Jing Shu said nonchalantly.
Tana watched the interaction between Yuki and her brother from the side, a hint of envy in her eyes. She probably would never understand the feeling of being protected by her brother!
At this moment, the people from the Infantry Commander's Office came over. "What happened?" They had come over because they saw a lot of people gathered here while on patrol.
"Lord Yu!" Shuyi greeted him proactively when she saw that the person who came was someone she knew.
Lord Yu then noticed that the man covered in dirt was Guarjia Shuyi. It was Shuyi who had helped him catch the thief last time!
"Shuyi, what's wrong with you?" Lord Yu asked.
Shuyi then briefly told Lord Yu about the matter.
Lord Yu was somewhat troubled; how could he have encountered such a troublesome matter while on duty today!
It's not a big deal. A few words of reprimand and some money for the victim will be enough. The problem is that it involves Prince An's granddaughter, who is very fond of him. If it's not handled properly, Prince An might demolish the Infantry Commander's Office.
"Princess Guo Luoluo, do you have anything to say about this matter?" Lord Yu looked at Tana.
"Although no one was hurt, it was still my fault!" Tana said, taking out some silver. "Give this silver to that child! Consider it my way of making amends to him!"
"The princess is indeed very righteous!" Lord Yu hadn't expected the matter to be resolved so easily.
He Xue curled her lip. This Lord Yu really is a veteran of officialdom! He can spout sycophantic words so easily! It was clearly Tana's fault, but now Tana is acting like a righteous person.
However, she was also puzzled by Tana's attitude. Had Tana changed her personality?
