Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw her teasing a man in public.
When Second Madam Qiao saw her son being treated so frivolously by her mother, she was so angry that she almost threw the fan in her hand at her. Fortunately, First Madam Sun was quick to stop her in time.
Li Yunting didn't seem to care about the reactions of the people around her. She turned to look at Xue Zhongfu and said, "Second Master Xue, after seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is truly well-deserved... Eh? Tell me, if I became a widow and married a widower like you, wouldn't it be a perfect match, a match made in heaven?"
Xue Zhongfu has always been straightforward in matters between men and women, and he has been even less interested in women since his wife's death.
Now that he was being teased in public by Princess Xianning, he was extremely angry. If the other party was not a woman, he would have punched her.
After Li Yunting finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhang Xianzhi, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain: "Why don't you just go back now! Don't embarrass me here!"
Her words were sharp and merciless, making Zhang Xianzhi's face turn ugly in an instant in front of everyone.
He took a deep breath, forcing down the humiliation in his heart, and bowed deeply to everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, full of apology: "Today's incident was caused by me, and I'm sorry for causing trouble for the old lady, Brother Xue, and Brother Jiang."

You have someone backing you up, yet you dare to talk to me like that? Who do you think you are? You're just a mere Hanlin scholar! You're really asking for trouble!"
However, Zhang Xianzhi was not intimidated by her threats. He straightened his back and said in a loud voice, "Although my official position is not high, I am also an official appointed by the court and represent the face of the court. It is your actions today, Princess, that are truly despicable."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone looked at Zhang Xianzhi with admiration in their eyes.
They didn't expect that at this critical moment, Zhang Xianzhi would be able to stand up and speak up for himself and everyone else.
No matter how arrogant Li Yunting was, she knew the seriousness of the matter and could only whip Zhang Xianzhi.
She glared at Hong Yingrong fiercely, glanced at everyone, and sneered, saying
"See how you die!"
