Madam Zhou nodded. "You naturally didn't know about this in the harem. Your grandfather was a veteran of two dynasties, and the emperor had to give him some respect. If you didn't want to, the marriage wouldn't have been possible. But your uncle sent someone to ask for your opinion, and you said you would listen to your father, so the marriage was decided."
Hey, original owner! If you had listened to your uncle, you wouldn't have lost your life.
After returning from the Zhou family, Chen Jingxi kept thinking about what Mrs. Zhou meant by her last words. If one day, she might be able to change her identity and go to the southwest to seek refuge with her grandfather.
Today, it is time for some people to fulfill their promises.
Somehow, what happened in the palace that day spread throughout the capital. Of course, there were also various speculations and inferences among the general public, wondering whether Miss Jiang and the ladies of several other families would really go up to the city wall to make a public apology.
Regardless of whether there was a shadow or not, the city wall was already crowded with people, waiting to laugh at the usually arrogant young lady from a noble family.
At this time, on the second floor of the teahouse, Chen Jingxi was sitting by the window with a cup of fragrant tea in front of him, leisurely waiting for the big show that was about to begin.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the stairs, and a woman in luxurious clothes walked up to the second floor with several maids in a proud manner.
The woman looked around and found that the best position was already occupied by Chen Jingxi. Her face immediately became gloomy.
"Get up! This seat is mine!" The woman pointed at Chen Jingxi and ordered arrogantly.
The waiter looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes with a pale face, then looked at Chen Jingxi who was sitting there. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.
"Girl, look at this?"
Chen Jingxi raised his head slightly, glanced at the woman, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "It's Yuzhen! I was wondering who was so arrogant and domineering. Xiao Er, you have nothing to do here. Please go down first."
The waiter thanked him and ran away.
Princess Yuzhen was enraged by Chen Jingxi's words. She pointed at her nose and snarled, "Do you think you're so great just because you're the most talented woman? If you marry that evil Third Brother, you'll be doomed sooner or later."
Chen Jingxi sneered, "Yuzhen, you haven't won the title of the most talented woman, so naturally you don't understand how we feel about winning. If you have the guts, show me one before you discuss it with me. Isn't that enough?"
Princess Yuzhen's face flushed with anger, "You...you..."
Chen Jingxi said coldly, "As for whether I will die or not, don't worry, I'm very tough. Even if you die, I won't die. And if I hear you say my husband is an evil star again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"Bitch, how dare you threaten this princess."
"I'm threatening you, okay?"
"This princess is going to kill you." Princess Yuzhen shouted, suddenly pulled out the long whip from her waist and swung it towards Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi dodged Princess Yuzhen's whip easily with a flash of his body. Princess Yuzhen became even more angry when she saw Chen Jingxi dodged it.
She swung her whip again and again, almost hitting Chen Jingxi each time.
Chunmei, who was standing nearby, was terrified and could only shout, "Princess, be careful to the left."
Yuzhen couldn't hit Chen Jingxi, so she turned to look at Chunmei and said, "How dare you, you little bitch, talk too much."
As he said this, he swung the whip at Chunmei.
"Ah!" Chunmei screamed and put her hands in front of her.
Chen Jingxi jumped, pulled Chunmei away with one hand, and grabbed the whip with the other hand.
"Princess! Your hand..." Chunmei exclaimed.
The pain in the palm of his hand made Chen Jingxi frown, but he didn't have time to care about it now.
"You stay away."
Princess Yuzhen was shocked when she saw this, and she tried hard to take back the whip.
But Chen Jingxi pulled hard, causing Princess Yuzhen to stagger, lose her balance, and fall to the ground.
Chen Jingxi took the opportunity to step forward and tightly grasped her collar. A dagger appeared in his hand, and his eyes were full of warnings, "If you dare to do that again, I will cut your face a few times!"
"You dare!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Yuzhen, does the Empress know that you've left the palace?"
