I want to see what kind of expression he'll make.
He must be furious and want to dump Shangguan Tianyun, that two-timing woman, right?
Only because Shangguan Tianlin was still present did she barely suppress her resentment.
Shangguan Jingyi was still immersed in her beautiful fantasy when Shangguan Tianlin gripped her wrist tightly. "Stop spreading rumors and causing trouble for me. Get out of here right now!"
He wanted to say "get lost," but then he remembered that his savior was still there, and he couldn't show his rude side in front of him! Lest Xiao Ziwu think that Tianyun was also so vulgar and uncouth.
Not knowing whether the Third Prince had taken Shangguan Jingyi's words to heart, Shangguan Tianlin's heart tightened, and he explained nervously, "Your Highness, please don't listen to slander. I know my own sister best. She is definitely not the kind of woman who flatters everyone."
Xiao Ziwu frowned, wanting to say something, but the little woman gently tugged at his sleeve, interrupting him from speaking.
Shangguan Jingyi was dragged out with all his might, but his mouth wasn't gagged. He unleashed a barrage of slanderous words, "Your Highness! You certainly don't know about my sister's private meeting with the little prince. You've all been deceived by her appearance! She seems pure and innocent, but in reality... Waaah...!"
As she dragged him, Shangguan Jingyi's hands and feet swayed, and the delicious pastries in the exquisite bowls and plates scattered all over the ground.
"You're going back to Wei County tomorrow!" Shangguan Tianlin quickly covered her mouth. He said angrily, "Our household cannot tolerate a wicked person like you with ill intentions."
No, let's leave right now!
Keeping her around would only cause trouble. He'd prepare a carriage right away, throw her in immediately, and go as far away as possible.
Shangguan Jingyi struggled desperately.
She knew that Shangguan Tianlin, her beloved grandson, held a position in the old lady's heart that was infinitely more important than hers, and that she could not escape being sent back to Wei County today.
Fine, let them go...
Even if Guan Tianyun's reputation is ruined, it's not a loss for him!
Shangguan Jingyi's struggling arc suddenly weakened, and a line of tears silently slid down the corner of his eye, but his eyes revealed a stubborn and strange pleasure.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Shangguan Tianyun behind Xiao Ziwu.
Shangguan Tianyun suddenly opened her arms and blocked her brother's way, saying softly, "Wait."
"Don't stop me! I can't stand her talking to you like that." Shangguan Tianlin said fiercely.
This was the first time Shangguan Tianlin had witnessed Shangguan Jingyi's true colors hidden beneath his cowardice and timidity, and his anger flared up.
Even though he scolded her, Tianyun knew he was genuinely protecting her, and her heart immediately felt warm and comforted, as if a bowl of hot soup had been spilled on it.
"I don't mean to stop my brother, I just want to say something to my cousin."
The woman's complexion was fair and delicate, like a new moon with a halo, or snow piled on flowering trees. At this moment, her beautiful eyes and charming demeanor easily attracted the attention of the two outstanding individuals present.
Shangguan Tianlin reluctantly lowered his hand from Shangguan Jingyi's mouth.
As if imagining the tragic scene of Shangguan Tianyun being abandoned, she laughed maniacally, "What else do you have to say?"
“I just wanted to say…” Tianyun deliberately slowed his tone, drawing out the last syllable. “When I met the little prince, His Highness was also present.”
Therefore, all the talk of private meetings and illicit affairs is utter nonsense.
Everything was a figment of Shangguan Jingyi's imagination, a fantasy to satisfy her perverse tastes; in reality, it was nothing at all.
These words are both deadly and infuriating!
"Smack—"
It was the crisp sound of porcelain shattering on the bluestone floor.
Shangguan Jingyi looked utterly dejected and defeated. The porcelain plate he had been clutching tightly in his hand slipped from his grasp and shattered on the ground.
This also seems to indicate that her long-held opinion that Shangguan Tianyun was inferior to her in every way has been completely shattered.
She suffered a crushing defeat in this battle!
And the final straw that broke the camel's back—
When the porcelain shattered, Xiao Ziwu looked tense and quickly pulled Shangguan Tianyun into his arms, his robes billowing out to block all the flying shards...
It dealt Shangguan Jingyi a critical blow!
She looked up, her despairing and broken gaze fixed on the azure sky outside the hall, and two lines of tears, her heart ashen, streamed down her face.
But it did not evoke any sympathy.
Having said that, Shangguan Tianlin, with an unyielding expression, dragged her out.
Xiao Ziwu asked, "Did it hit you?" He really wanted to pat her little fleshy bottom again.
Aren't they afraid of really going too far? Shangguan Jingyi is a madman to begin with. What if he loses his temper and smashes the dishes at her?
Tianyun shook her head innocently. She wanted to shatter Shangguan Jingyi's last glimmer of hope and let her leave knowing the truth.
This can be considered a punishment for the bad things she has done recently!
"Shouldn't you tone it down a bit in front of me?" Hu Yan Hongxue looked at their interaction, pursed her lips, and said unhappily, "Can't you see me, a living, breathing person?"
They're becoming increasingly unscrupulous.
Xiao Ziwu put his arm around the little woman, frowned slightly as he looked at her, and the disdain in his eyes was self-evident, as if asking why she was still lingering here.
Hu Yanhongxue chuckled, deliberately not going to his advantage. She sat down in the armchair with an air of superiority and teasingly extended an invitation, "Miss Shangguan, are you free tonight? Why don't you come with me to the Hundred Flowers Banquet to enjoy the festivities?"
The people of Siam are very open-minded, and they never hide their feelings for girls they like.
He ignored Xiao Ziwu's murderous glare, his peach blossom eyes lowered slightly, and he said with a roguish smile, "What's the point of spending all day with this iceberg who exudes coldness? This prince knows far more tricks than him. Why don't you give it a try, beauty? Compare and maybe... you'll fall for someone else!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Ziwu drew his sword and, with lightning speed, attacked him directly!
He Ming, who had been acting as a background character, quickly stepped in front of his master and used his sword sheath to block the thunderous attack.
But Xiao Ziwu's momentum was unstoppable. Even though he used all his inner strength to block, he was still pushed back several steps by this vast true energy.
He Ming barely managed to steady himself, a metallic taste rising in his throat. He clutched his still trembling chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
It's clear that he gave it his all in this attack, holding nothing back.
Hu Yanhongxue's martial arts skills were even worse than He Ming's. If Hu Yanhongxue had been the one to take this sword strike, he would probably be lying on the ground, unable to get up by now.
Xiao Ziwu's martial prowess is terrifying... He Ming's pupils dilated in shock! He hurriedly said, "The little prince was just joking, please don't take it seriously."
Making careless remarks comes at a price.
But Tianyun didn't want Xiao Ziwu to get involved with the powerful Siamese prince for her sake. She gently put her arm around the man's arm, silently soothing his restless emotions.
The mischievous smile on Hu Yanhongxue's lips vanished. She smoothed the wrinkles in her robes and lowered her brows slightly, saying, "She really is easily teased."
Xiao Ziwu twirled his sword and sheathed it. "Next time, I won't let you off so easily."
