Ye Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, and Princess Xinya withdrew her gaze.
"Just say whatever you want to say. This princess is not someone who gives up easily."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
"Princess, you're overthinking it. Shangguan Lingyun and I are together purely for our own benefit."
Princess Xinya was a little confused, and Ye Xiaoxiao continued.
"That day, he was poisoned, and I was drugged. In a nutshell, we are both victims."
“But, they also have vested interests.”
"He got rid of the poison, I got rid of the medicine, and we have two lovely children."
"Although the process was not very pleasant, he did bring my child a good family background and status."
Princess Xinya didn't understand, and Ye Xiaoxiao didn't plan to explain it to her in detail.
"Our past has nothing to do with you, and you don't have to bother investigating anything."
"If you really like Shangguan Lingyun, go ahead and pursue him. Whether you can catch up with him or not depends on your own ability."
"But there is one thing I must tell you."
Princess Xinya: "What?"
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly cold, "Children are my bottom line."
"If you do anything bad to my child in pursuit of Shangguan Lingyun, I will make you live a life worse than death."
"This princess wasn't raised to be scared, but don't worry, I wouldn't even bother to attack those two children."
Ye Xiaoxiao snorted coldly: "That's better."
"Looking at the princess's token, we can tell what Dugu Xin must have said to her."
Princess Xinya's face froze, and Ye Xiaoxiao knew she was right.
Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao's understanding expression, Princess Xinya felt a little unconvinced.
"Do you know that my royal brother has always liked you?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Princess Xinya with a faint smile, which immediately made Princess Xinya angry.
"What's your attitude?"
"Don't tell me you don't know how much my royal brother has done for you."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "So what?"
"So what? Ye Xiaoxiao, how could you say such a thing?"
Princess Xinya's voice rose. Ye Sheng, who was guarding outside, wanted to come in but was stopped by Tianxuan.
"Fourth Master, the young lady can handle it. It will be useless for you to go in."
Ye Sheng was a little annoyed. He had never hated a woman so much before.
"This Princess Xinya is such a troublemaker. Xiaoxiao is afraid that she will be pestered by her in the future."
Tianxuan gave him a cold look and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Young Master, it won't happen."
Ye Sheng knew that Tian Xuan had a mysterious confidence in Ye Xiaoxiao, and he was too lazy to argue with her. He continued to listen to the voice inside.
Ye Xiaoxiao naturally heard the conversation between the two people outside, but she didn't care.
"Princess Xinya, didn't Dugu Xin tell you that not all love and affection will be reciprocated?"
Princess Xinya: “…”
Yes, just because you like me doesn’t mean I have to like you.
For example, Ye Xiaoxiao and Dugu Xin, and also her and Shangguan Lingyun.
Princess Ke Xinya has always been a person who never gives up.
"Since you don't love him, why do you enjoy his love for you?"
"If I were you, I would return the world's number one village to my royal brother."
Ye Xiaoxiao's lips curled up, "So, you are you."
"I saved his life, and he gave me the best village in the world. Now we owe each other nothing."
"Do you know that the hardest thing to repay in this world is a favor, let alone a favor that saved your life?"
"If he keeps owing me, do you think he will be happy?"
Xinya was still a little unconvinced. "So, if you took his title of the best manor in the world, he should thank you, right?"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, and Princess Xinya stomped her feet in anger.
"You woman, you are so shameless."
Ye Xiaoxiao was still smiling. What was an insult? It didn't hurt at all.
Princess Xinya doesn't have such a good temper.
"I've scolded you, and you can still laugh."
"What else? Cry in front of you to make you happy?"
Princess Xinya: “…”
Princess Xinya was so angry that she pulled out the whip from her waist and whipped it towards the chair next to Ye Xiaoxiao.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxiao was one step faster than her and grabbed the tail of her whip.
"Princess Xinya, the tables and chairs here are very expensive. If they break, I won't be able to compensate you even if I sell you off."
Princess Xinya didn't expect that her whip would be caught by Ye Xiaoxiao, so she immediately exerted force to pull the whip back.
However, no matter how hard she tried, the whip didn't move at all.
Princess Xinya then discovered that Ye Xiaoxiao had some skills, and that they were even better than hers.
"You know Kung Fu?"
"Even a princess can protect herself, not to mention I come from the common people."
It wasn't really an answer, but it resolved Princess Xinya's doubts.
Seeing that she was no longer exerting force, Ye Xiaoxiao finally let go of her whip.
"Princess, this is Daxia. Dugu Xin has had a hard time already. You shouldn't cause him any more trouble."
Princess Xinya was stunned, but she didn't say anything in the end and sat down dejectedly.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and just when Ye Xiaoxiao didn't know how to start, Dugu Xin walked in.
He glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao and Princess Xinya nervously, then looked at Princess Xinya with some displeasure.
"Xinya, you are rude. Apologize to the Crown Princess."
Princess Xinya's eyes suddenly turned red. Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately tried to smooth things over.
"Dugu Xin, you don't have to do this. I've already taught her a lesson."
Dugu Xin smiled faintly. It was the first time that Princess Xinya saw Dugu Xin smile so easily.
