Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyun glanced at Yu Yan with a seemingly guilty expression, then said, "Lingdang is usually very well-behaved. Today, she accidentally tore Princess Yan's dress, and I apologize to you. I'll compensate you for this dress as well." After saying this, she took a hairpin from her hair and handed it to Qianxia.
Qianxia walked up to Yuyan with the hairpin in her hand. Yuyan's face turned pale, and she refused to accept it.
“Princess Yan, what’s wrong? Is it not enough? But this hairpin of mine was given to me by the Empress Dowager, it’s very precious. How much did your dress cost? I can make up for the shortfall. But…” Nan Zhiyun seemed a little embarrassed, then looked at Yu Jingchen. Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow, he was also curious about what this little girl was going to do.
"Your Majesty, I have no money on me. Could you lend me some? I will return it to you as soon as I get back," Nan Zhiyun said.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Yu Jingchen let her have her way and was quite cooperative.
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyun's large eyes were filled with confusion: "I don't know... Princess Yan, how much more is needed?" Nan Zhiyun asked "naively".
"Your Highness, Consort Shu!" Yu Yan became agitated. In her eyes, Nan Zhiyun was clearly humiliating her.
"How dare you!" This time it was Yu Jingchen. Nan Zhiyun trembled in fright and shrank into Yu Jingchen's arms, not forgetting to hug the cat in her arms tightly.
Yu Jingchen was afraid that he had just frightened Nan Zhiyun, so he tightened his grip on her to comfort her, as his Yun'er was timid.
"Your Majesty..." Yu Yan was also frightened.
"Is this how the rules of the Prince Yu's Mansion are? Or is it because you are just an adopted daughter, and the Prince and Princess Yu did not teach you properly? How did you raise such a person who doesn't know her place and has no manners!" Yu Jingchen was furious.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Yu Yan dared not be presumptuous any longer, but her pretty face was filled with humiliation. What she hated most was being told that she was the adopted daughter of the Prince Yu's mansion...
Not to mention Yu Yan, even Nan Zhiyun was terrified by Yu Jingchen's appearance. She huddled obediently in his arms, not daring to utter a sound, because she felt guilty; she had acted on purpose just now. However, she figured His Majesty probably knew…
Bai Yusheng knelt silently to the side. At this moment, she didn't want to invite trouble. This Yuyan was a fool, and she didn't care about her whatsoever. After entering the palace, one either needed favor or cunning; otherwise, she wouldn't even consider her a threat. This Yuyan was clearly extremely stupid and posed no threat whatsoever.
As for this Consort Shu... she is deeply favored and seems very naive, but she is still unsure what kind of person Nan Zhiyun really is, so it's best not to make any rash moves for now.
Yu Jingchen also remembered Yu Yan's fate in her previous life; she died of illness within two years. Yu Jingchen hadn't investigated what sordid things had happened, as it was none of his business. However… she had humiliated Nan Zhiyun quite a bit in her previous life. Thinking of this, Yu Jingchen felt not only heartache for her but also an even greater loathing for Yu Yan.
"What does Yun'er want to do?" Yu Jingchen suppressed his emotions and asked Nan Zhiyun.
"...Is that all okay?" Nan Zhiyun asked Yu Jingchen.
"You can talk about it first." Yu Jingchen's tone was gentle, a complete change from his furious demeanor just moments before.
“The bell tore her dress, and I compensated her. But she also threw the bell out. The bell is only four months old. What if it gets hurt? And it also hurt other people. I think... Princess Yan should apologize to the bell and Miss Bai.” Nan Zhiyun originally didn’t intend to make things too difficult for her, but seeing Yu Yan’s actions today, she felt somewhat displeased.
