Chapter 5: It's clearly a story about three people...

Yueli is not a fool. They said these words at the door just to make public opinion stand on their side.

They still thought that Yueli was the same as before, craving the attention of Chen's parents and allowing them to control her.

But unexpectedly, she turned against him and directly exposed Prime Minister Chen's shortcomings.

The people who had just been discussing Yueli's ignorance and being an ungrateful person now turned around and started to criticize the Chen family. Especially since Yueli looked so pitiful and was so poorly dressed, the people's attitude had already tilted towards Yueli.

The barrage of comments was even more noisy.

[Yuli is truly miserable. Her adoptive parents never loved her and used her as a tool to cling to the rich and powerful. After she regained her status, they didn't even try to hide it. As for her adopted sister, she not only coveted Yuli's husband, but also stole Yuli's ex-fiancé.

And that ex-fiancé... He only cares about power. Apart from Xie Lixing, no one else treats her sincerely. How can I describe how miserable she is?

[Yeah, it's normal to go dark, right? If I were her, I'd go even darker.]

"I say, don't be so ridiculous. Chaolu is the one who suffered the most! She was switched for over a decade, and all she did was get back everything that belonged to her. Why is it that in your mouths, it's Chaolu's fault?"

[To be honest, she's just unlucky. Who can't see how Chen Laodeng treats Chaolu? He dotes on her to no end. I can only say Yueli is unlucky! She deserves it!]

Chen Laodeng thought Yueli would apologize directly as before, but Yueli turned against him. It was going to be a good show.

Yue Li looked at the barrage of comments floating by, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She grew up under strict discipline. In the past, she always hoped that her parents could give her some love and care, even just a little bit.

Unfortunately, no.

She had always wanted to seek her parents' approval, and she never felt resentful even when her adoptive father pushed her to marry Xie Lixing.

She always hopes that one day her adoptive parents will show some concern for her.

As a result, the barrage told her that this was all her wishful thinking.

She was a chess piece pushed out by her adoptive father and could be discarded at any time. Life and death were not important to him.

The most important thing in his eyes is his daughter's career and whether she can ascend to the throne.

An adopted daughter, used to pave the way for his daughter, is already a compliment to her.

After so many years, you would develop feelings for a dog, but Yueli is not even as good as a dog. She can't help but despise herself.

Why does she have to cling to the love of such people?

They don't deserve it!

After spitting on herself, Yueli looked at the Chen family with indifference and vigilance.

"Child, how can you talk like that? We raised you. Even if we raise a dog for more than ten years, we will have feelings for it, let alone you are our daughter!" The Prime Minister's wife seemed to be slandered and devastated, and she backed away repeatedly.

She looked at Yueli heartbrokenly and covered her chest with her hands in dismay.

"You questioned me in front of so many people about why I haven't come back for so long. What's your purpose? Are you trying to make a fool of yourself by showing off to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

At the beginning, the Chen family just wanted to make Yueli a laughing stock and thus make Xie Lixing be ridiculed.

However, they failed to gain anything and ended up losing the rice, and they were the ones who were laughed at.

Prime Minister Chen turned around with a grim expression, "Come in and talk!"

Yueli is no longer under his control, and if he continues to make trouble, the situation will only get uglier and uglier.

The Prime Minister's wife covered her chest with her hands and walked towards the Chen family's courtyard with the support of Chen Chaolu. However, before entering the door, the Prime Minister's wife looked back at Yueli.

That glance made Yueli's body stiffen and she fell into bad memories.

Just at this moment, Xie Lixing stepped forward and blocked the Prime Minister's wife's gaze, so Yue Li did not show too much expression in front of the Chen family.

Yueli knew that if she entered the Chen family this time, she would probably not get any good results.

But she still had to go in.

Because Xie Lixing had already gone in.

As Yueli followed Xie Lixing into the yard, she heard Prime Minister Chen's low voice: "Kneel down!"

Without having to think about it, Yueli knew who the voice was directed to.

Yukari had some conditioned reflexes, but she held herself back.

The anger she had suppressed all day finally erupted at this moment. She walked around from behind Xie Lixing and spoke loudly, "Prime Minister, I am the Regent Princess. Since when did the Regent Princess need to kneel down and kowtow to the Prime Minister?"

This was the first time Yueli spoke to Prime Minister Chen and his family with such confidence.

Prime Minister Chen pulled out a bamboo stick with a gloomy expression, ready to take action.

Yueli did not give in at all, "If you dare to touch me today, I will beat the drum and report you tomorrow!" It's not that she is not afraid, it's very painful to be hit with a bamboo stick, and she is afraid of the pain.

But she didn't know whether Xie Lixing could be trusted, and she didn't dare to pin her hopes on him.

The only one she can rely on is herself.

She has to stand up for herself and her future.

"You've really grown wings!"

Prime Minister Chen gritted his teeth and picked up the bamboo stick, swinging it towards Yueli. Yueli closed her eyes in fear but did not retreat a single step.

Just as she was quietly waiting for the bamboo sticks to fall, Prime Minister Chen's voice rang out, "You..."

The bamboo stick did not fall, so she did not feel any pain. Chen Laodeng's voice was not right, and it seemed that someone had stopped him.

Yueli opened one eye and saw Xie Lixing standing in front of her, raising his hand to hold the bamboo stick.

Yueli quickly opened her other eye.

On the other side of her eye, a familiar and annoying figure was also in front of her, blocking the bamboo stick.

This person is not someone else, but the male protagonist of the story, Liu Yuanzhou.

[Wow, the plot is going in a weird direction. The hero and the villain are holding hands!]

The strange direction of the barrage did not attract everyone's attention and was drowned out by the numerous barrages.

Only Yueli noticed.

Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the clasped hands of Xie Lixing and Liu Yuanzhou, and a thought emerged in her mind: This is clearly a story about three people, but there is no trace of Prime Minister Chen in the barrage...

After thinking about it, Yueli felt a little hot on her face.

She is so unfilial. No, now is not the time to think about this.

Yueli tried hard to suppress her messy thoughts, hiding behind Xie Lixing and seeking his protection.

Her actions caught Liu Yuanzhou's attention, and his eyes darkened a little.

While he was distracted by Yue Li, Xie Lixing had already spoken: "Prime Minister, Yue Li is now the Regent Princess. Are you hitting her in the face to hit me?"

Xie Lixing's face is not just handsome, but has a very holy kind of handsomeness.

It makes people feel that he is noble and cannot be desecrated.

When his expression is gentle, it is as if the Buddha is showing mercy to all living beings, but when he is angry, he is like a furious Vajra, very intimidating.

Even Prime Minister Chen was no match for Xie Lixing, who had such a strong aura.

"Prime Minister, is there anything you can't say nicely?"

Liu Yuanzhou, unwilling to be left behind, also spoke at this moment.

After saying that, he turned to look at Xie Lixing, with a flash of provocation in his eyes. When his gaze fell on Xie Lixing's face, he found that Xie Lixing was looking at his hand with disgust.

Motioned him to take his hand away.
