Ou Qiao was completely baffled by this sudden question.
She looked at Jiang Can as if he were a monster. "What...what do you mean?"
Jiang Can chuckled lightly, "I think there's no such thing as fairness in this world. Otherwise, why would two cousins from the same family, one chosen as a prince with the potential to inherit the entire country, while the other... is relegated to washing my dresses in the bathroom?"
"What did you say?!"
Ou Qiao's face turned pale with anger, and his back teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.
It must be said that even if Jiang Can was trying to sow discord, she did manage to do it to the right person.
Ocho was very resentful of Hea. The two sisters had played and studied together since childhood, and Hea's grades were even worse than hers...
But why was Heya able to win the old king's favor and become the only female princess in the royal family?
The former sisters now have to follow palace rules and pay their respects when they meet, and she can no longer address her by her first name as before, but must respectfully call her "Your Highness"...
Since becoming queen, Heya has become arrogant and rarely contacts these relatives, treating them with disrespect.
Every time, she would eagerly come to the palace to flatter and please Heya.
The proud and arrogant Ou Qiao sometimes felt a burning hatred when he thought about these things.
But she couldn't show it at all now, especially in front of Jiang Can.
Some nice things still had to be said: "Oh, what are you saying, Miss Yin? What's unfair about this! My cousin is naturally gifted, and the old king is her uncle, so they're much closer than she is to me! Her selection as a prince is what everyone wants!"
"Oh!" Jiang Can drawled, "So, you believe that fairness exists in this world?"
Ocho bit his lip: "Fairness is everywhere!"
Jiang Can continued, "Then an eye for an eye, isn't that fair?"
Ou Qiao was taken aback, then met Jiang Can's sharp gaze.
She couldn't help but feel a little scared. "Jiang Can, what... what exactly do you mean?"
Jiang Can sneered, "You were the one who spoke rudely first, then you dirtied my dress, and you even incited a whole table of people to come after me! Miss Ou, how do you think I should retaliate in a 'fair' way?"
Ou Qiao's heart skipped a beat.
Before she could react, Jiang Can swiftly went over and locked the bathroom door. Ou Qiao gasped and instinctively tried to run out, but Jiang Can kicked her in the back of the knee!
Ouqiao cried out in pain, his legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground!
Jiang Can grabbed her by the back of her collar with both hands and pressed her against the edge of the pool. Ou Qiao screamed and struggled, but Jiang Can sneered and pushed her head directly into the pool!
Ou Qiao struggled desperately, but Jiang Can pulled her head out, waited for her to catch her breath, and then pushed it back in...
After repeating this several times, Ou Qiao cried and begged for mercy, completely losing the arrogant attitude he had displayed earlier, from his sarcastic remarks to his wine-throwing.
Her newly made dress was soaked through, her makeup was ruined, and her hair was disheveled.
Jiang Can grabbed her hair and pulled her up, then slammed her face against the bathroom mirror with a thud, making her see her grotesque appearance.
Ou Qiao choked on the water and coughed so hard she felt like her lungs were going to come out. She wanted to fight back and yell at Jiang Can, but she couldn't fight back or even utter a sound. She could only let Jiang Can do as she pleased.
“Miss Ou, fairness really is everywhere!” Jiang Can smiled. “I felt wronged when you humiliated me in public, but I feel much better now! You dirtied my dress, so I ruined your makeup. An eye for an eye, that’s fair indeed!”
"Cough cough... Jiang Can, you... cough cough..."
After holding it in for a long time, Ou Qiao finally managed to utter a few words: "You bitch!"
Jiang Can's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips.
"Stop insulting me, do you have the guts to fight back?"
Ocho struggled a few more times before finally giving up.
"You probably don't know that the third master of the Huo family is not only the heir to the Huo family business, but also a boxer, right?"
"My husband taught me a lot! He's more than capable of dealing with someone like you!"
At that moment, the doorknob was turned a few times from the outside, and a voice came from inside:
Is anyone inside?
But it was a man's voice!
Jiang Can frowned, feeling the voice was familiar. However, Ou Qiao shouted towards the door as if he had been saved, "Cousin! Brother Jin! Is that you?"
"Help! Brother Jin, help me!"
Jiang Can was taken aback. Could it be He Jin at the door?
Then the doorknob turned faster, accompanied by increasingly louder knocking.
"What's going on inside? If you don't come out soon, I'm calling the guards to open the door!"
Jiang Can scoffed and abruptly released Ou Qiao.
What a disappointment!
Ou Qiao fled in a panic, stumbled open the door, and sure enough, He Jin was standing outside with a puzzled look on his face!
"Brother Jin!" Ou Qiao burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.
He Jin didn't care about her; he only saw Jiang Can standing there with her arms crossed, completely at ease.
There were also red wine stains all over Jiang Can's body.
He Jin paused for a moment, then pushed Ou Qiao aside and ran straight towards Jiang Can.
Are you alright?!
Jiang Can was stunned. This person's concerned look and nervous expression really didn't seem to be faking it.
Without thinking twice, He Jin suddenly turned Jiang Can's shoulder, turning her around left and right, looking her over carefully, and only breathed a long sigh of relief after confirming that she was not injured.
"There don't seem to be any external injuries... Are there any internal injuries?"
Jiang Can chuckled to herself.
He Jin said seriously, "Don't laugh yet, answer me!"
Jiang Can could only shake his head, then looked at Ou Qiao, who was staring in disbelief.
“Your Highness,” she took two steps back, keeping her distance from He Jin, “you should be concerned about your cousin… She suffered a great loss just now, and I admit, I was a bit agitated, so…”
"Brother Jin!" Ou Qiao exclaimed angrily, "You actually side with this bitch instead of me? Do you know that she just pressed my head down..."
"Shut up!" He Jin roared, his expression stern.
Not only was Ou Qiao too scared to move, but Jiang Can was also a little flustered.
He was, after all, a prince, and his aura was unlike that of ordinary people.
"Ou Qiao, don't think I don't know how you usually bully others!" He Jin said in a deep voice, "Did you put that red wine on Miss Yin?"
Ou Qiao felt guilty and remained silent.
"Miss Yin is a guest of the royal family! How could you treat her like this!"
"Brother Jin, I..."
"Apologize to Miss Yin!"
Ou Qiao looked at him incredulously, trembling with anger.
Jiang Can knew she would never receive an apology. Anyway, she had vented her anger, so they were even.
So she bowed respectfully to He Jin and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, perhaps it's better to leave now. My clothes are soiled, and it is not appropriate for me to pay my respects to the Queen. Please convey my apologies to the Queen."
As she spoke, she walked towards the door.
He Jin called out to her, "Jiang Can, wait a minute!"
Jiang Can turned around in confusion.
He Jin smiled gently, his gaze like a clear spring, "You've come all this way, how can you just leave like this?"
"Jiang Can, I will take you to meet the Queen. You will not be disrespectful!"
