Chapter 627 He Really Angryly Retorts to the King of Chu
“You have a bad reputation, and no one wants to be friends with you. I’m the first person to associate with you. I even brought my friends along to befriend you and try my best to help you integrate into everyone’s circle.”
"I noticed you were afraid of water before, so I kindly brought you out to admire the bamboo."
"I've been so good to you, so why did you hurt me?"
"Waaaaah... How could you do this to me? Waaaaah... What have I done to deserve this?"
Hearing her explanation, those who had initially doubted Yu Huanzhen's claim of pushing her immediately believed her.
Those who already believed Ms. Zhao's words were now filled with righteous indignation and stood up for her.
"Miss Yu, why did you push Miss Zhao? Aren't you two best friends?"
"That's right, Miss Zhao kindly invited you out to admire the bamboo, and you actually harmed her? How could you do that?"
"If it weren't for Miss Zhao's matchmaking, who in the capital would want to associate with you? It's one thing if you're not grateful, but why did you have to resort to underhanded tactics against Miss Zhao?"
"Tsk tsk, Miss Yu, you're not jealous that Miss Zhao is more popular than you, are you?"
Yu Huanzhen looked at Miss Zhao with a calm expression, "Wasn't it you who tried to push me from behind just now, but I dodged it, and then you couldn't control your strength and rolled down by yourself?"
"You're spouting nonsense! You were the one who pushed me down, yet you're trying to accuse me of wanting to leave you?! How can you be so shameless?"
Miss Zhao burst into tears, feeling wronged. "I considered you a good friend, but you hurt me first and then slandered me! How could there be such a vicious person in this world?"
Others chimed in, chiming in to help Miss Zhao criticize Zhen Huan, and some even tried to pull Zhen Huan away, wanting her to apologize to Miss Zhao.
He actually dodged the group, flashed in front of Miss Zhao, and before anyone could react, shoved her heavily down the slope.
Everyone stared at Zhen Huan in disbelief, "You...you..."
He even sneered, "Didn't you all conclude that I pushed her? Now that the accusation is confirmed, wouldn't it be a huge loss if I didn't actually push her?"
"Hehe, now I admit I did push her."
"you……"
"Clap clap clap!"
Just then, a group of people emerged from the depths of the bamboo forest.
The man in the lead clapped his hands, a smile on his face.
Beside the man stood the King of Chu, whose face was gloomy, and behind the two of them followed a dozen or so young men.
These people were either scions of prominent families in the capital or outstanding young talents who had passed the imperial examinations this year.
Upon seeing the large group of people suddenly appear, all the young ladies except for Zhen Huan were startled.
The crowd hurriedly pulled Miss Zhao up from the bottom of the slope, and then she hastily and awkwardly greeted the King of Chu.
Others are hard to identify, but the King of Chu is easy to recognize.
At least among the young ladies attending the banquet, there was no one who didn't recognize the King of Chu. Even if they didn't know the King of Chu personally, they all recognized his royal attire.
What happened here?
The King of Chu frowned as he looked at the disheveled Miss Zhao, then at the indifferent Yu Zhenhuan, his expression turning extremely unpleasant.
He didn't know what had happened before. However, he clearly saw Yu Huanzhen push the person.
This is his future wife!
If you dare to hurt people at someone else's banquet, how can you expect to have a peaceful life in the inner quarters of the Prince's mansion after you enter it?
"Your Highness, I don't know what I did to offend the Princess Consort, which is why she pushed me down the slope."
While wiping away her tears pitifully, Miss Zhao looked at the King of Chu with her big, aggrieved eyes and said, "Perhaps the Queen Consort of Chu finds it amusing to watch me roll down the slope, and that's why she's making fun of me."
The King of Chu frowned deeply.
The other young ladies testified, "It was indeed Princess Chu who pushed Miss Zhao; we all saw it with our own eyes."
The King of Chu, with a gloomy face and an unpleasant tone, reminded her, "I am not yet married to Miss Yu, so please be mindful of how you address me."
"Yes," the group responded in unison, glancing subconsciously at Miss Zhao.
They all called Yu Huanzhen that because that's how Miss Zhao addressed him.
Upon hearing what the King of Chu said, Miss Zhao secretly curled the corners of her lips.
The King of Chu looked at Yu Huanzhen and said, "You are destined to be my queen, how can you abuse your power and bully others? How can you injure someone in public?"
"Aren't you going to apologize to this lady right now?"
Miss Zhao looked at Yu Zhenhuan triumphantly. The other young ladies were surprised that the King of Chu was not protecting Yu Zhenhuan, but they quickly realized that the King of Chu was fair and looked at Yu Zhenhuan, waiting for her to apologize to Miss Zhao.
The scholars behind him who had just passed the imperial examinations were puzzled, but several young masters from prominent families had strange expressions on their faces.
They exchanged a glance and subconsciously moved a little further away from the King of Chu.
Is the King of Chu out of his mind?
Instead of protecting his own fiancée, he turned around and helped an unknown woman force his fiancée to apologize!
Not to mention that they only saw the result and didn't know the cause.
But given the relationship between the King of Chu and Miss Yu, the King of Chu should not have made Miss Yu apologize without even asking what happened!
Moreover, the entire Yongning Marquis's mansion stands behind Miss Yu!
Instead of coaxing his fiancée, the King of Chu spoke harshly to her.
Tsk tsk, someone with such a muddle-headed mind... can he really become the crown prince?
"You want me to apologize to her?" He really looked at the King of Chu with a cold gaze.
The King of Chu frowned. "Shouldn't you apologize? You pushed someone, shouldn't you apologize?"
Glancing at the Crown Prince Da'er and the others who were watching the spectacle with amusement, the King of Chu impatiently urged, "Apologize quickly and settle this matter! There are so many people watching here, don't you feel ashamed!"
Yu Huanzhen scoffed, "Are you afraid I'll embarrass myself, or are you afraid I'll embarrass you?"
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of losing face. But you..."
She smiled, then casually remarked sarcastically, "You've long since lost your face!"
"Yu Huanzhen! What do you mean?" The King of Chu clenched his fists in anger. "What do you mean I've already lost all face? Explain yourself clearly!"
He actually held up a finger, saying, "Before the engagement was even finalized, he kept a withered flower in his household, which caused him to be disliked during the marriage negotiations."
"If Her Majesty the Empress hadn't personally approached my mother, do you think you would have been engaged to me?"
He then raised another finger and continued, "After the engagement, before marrying the principal wife, he will first marry a concubine."
"Don't tell me this matter was agreed to by our Yongning Marquis's residence. If you hadn't brought it up, would our residence have been forced to agree to it?"
"Third, His Majesty is seriously ill, the Crown Prince is plotting a rebellion, and what are you doing, Your Highness Prince Chu?"
"Heh, you're mediating the conflict between the two women in your inner quarters!"
"Based on what His Highness the King of Chu has done, does His Highness really think he still has any face left?"
She looked at him with a forced smile and said, "Now, in front of so many people, without asking right or wrong, you want to force me to apologize to someone."
"Do you think if word gets out, people will think you're selfless, or that you've lost your mind?"
