Chapter 236: If I had known this would happen, why would I do it in the first place?
"Ah! My legs!"
Bai Yue hugged her knees and screamed, and Li Mingxuan shouted angrily: "Ms. Shangguan, you are committing a crime in the street!
If you continue to act recklessly, I will arrest you and ask the Emperor to make the final decision!"
Nangong Min's attention was diverted, and he let go of Bai Li's hand. He looked at Shangguan Ying with disappointment, and the warmth in his eyes had disappeared.
“Brother Nangong…”
"Don't call me, I don't know you well!"
Shangguan Ying was stunned. She didn't seem to expect that Nangong Min would be so disrespectful to her.
Thinking about how he had just grabbed Bai Li's hand, his heart felt a sharp pain and then twisted.
It was all his fault. He had provoked her just now, which was why she lost control and took it out on Bai Yue.
Yes, that's it!
"If she refuses to apologize, let her go to Jingzhao Yin and see what crime to bring against her."
"Major General Nangong, no!"
Mrs. Wu ran over and knelt before Bai Li, "I dare to beg Marshal Bai, please be magnanimous and spare my young lady for once!"
Bai Li still maintained a cold attitude, "You shouldn't beg me. Everyone has their own responsibility. If she doesn't even admit her mistakes, it's useless for you to beg me."
"Bai Li! Do you really have to humiliate me in public?"
"You also know that this is in public?
How did you just now, in front of so many people, remark on me and the soldiers of the Great Zhou?"
"Jingzhao Yin, I don't want to listen to her gossip anymore. Just do your job as usual!"
Bai Li was really tired and felt like he got a headache every time he met Shangguan Ying.
She just didn't understand why she had to pick a fight with her, knowing clearly that she always ended up in a bad situation.
This guy is a cucumber, he deserves to be beaten, right?
Li Mingxuan stopped talking and ordered his subordinates to take the man back.
Shangguan Ying looked at the yamen runner walking towards her and became anxious!
"How dare you!"
"Miss Shangguan, are you going to go against the entire Jingzhao Yin Yamen?!"
As soon as Li Mingxuan finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion around him.
"I wonder who is so bold as to act so wildly in front of the emperor!"
"Eunuch Li is here. Will this alarm the Emperor?"
"I wonder if Miss Shangguan still dares to act so arrogantly now. Even the Shangguan family won't be able to protect her if the matter goes to the Emperor!"
"Go quickly, be careful not to be overheard."
No matter how ignorant the official's wife is, she is not as foolish as the common woman to continue making trouble. She knows that Eunuch Li is the emperor's man and is not easy to mess with, so why doesn't she run away quickly and wait for the emperor to invite her to dinner!
"Eunuch Li is here. How dare I trouble you?"
"Hey, if we don't come, the Empress Shufei's banquet won't be held!"
"Yes, I left home early in the morning, and it's already noon. The Concubine Shu must be waiting anxiously!"
Everyone then realized that they had wasted too long here!
When Shangguan Ying saw Eunuch Li coming, his face turned pale and he dared not shout anymore.
"Meet Eunuch Li,"
"No, your Shangguan family is so powerful that they don't even take Jingzhao Yin seriously. We dare not accept your gift, Miss Shangguan!"
Eunuch Li's words are serious enough, they have implicated the entire family!
Even without Mrs. Wu's reminder, Shangguan Ying's legs softened and she fell to her knees with a thud.
"Eunuch Li, I know I was wrong!"
"It's no use telling our family, you should just go with the Jingzhao Yin!"
"Eunuch Li! Please, for the sake of my youth and ignorance, forgive me this time. I really know I was wrong!"
Shangguan Ying knocked his forehead loudly, and no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude just now.
"You've asked the wrong person!"
Eunuch Li said this coldly and looked at Bai Li in a flattering manner.
"Marshal Bai, look at this..."
Bai Li knew what he meant. It was nothing more than today's Concubine Shu's banquet, so it was better to have less trouble than more.
If the Emperor or Concubine Shu hadn't been alarmed, Eunuch Li wouldn't have come out!
Bai Li glanced at the person kneeling on the ground and raised his eyebrows.
"Since you already know your mistake, then sincerely apologize to the person involved and ask for her forgiveness, otherwise I will report this to the Emperor!"
Eunuch Li added fuel to the fire.
"No, I, I apologize!"
Shangguan Ying turned around while kneeling, and kowtowed twice to Bai Li without hesitation.
"Marshal Bai, it's my fault. I spoke without restraint and slandered Marshal Bai. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
Suddenly, a sneer came from the side.
"Serves her right! She's so crazy!"
"If she hadn't blocked us with her carriage just now, we would have been sitting in the imperial garden arranged by Concubine Shu, admiring the flowers and eating snacks!"
Hu Die hid in the crowd and watched the excitement. When the dust settled, Eunuch Li forced Shangguan Ying to lower her head. She felt indescribably comfortable all over and took the opportunity to add some fuel to the fire.
Shangguan Ying looked up when she heard the voice and saw Hu Die, who had just argued with her, and her good sister Shi Lan, the daughter of the Grand Marshal, who were taking the opportunity to add insult to injury. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but unfortunately they were no longer afraid of her!
Bai Li sneered: If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!
She also knew that she had to stop while she was ahead. She could not give face to Nangong Min, but she could not fail to give face to the emperor.
"Forget it. Considering your sincerity in repenting, I'll let it go this time. If there's a next time..."
"If there's a next time, report it to the Jingzhao Yin and have him arrested!"
Eunuch Li knew that Bai Li was now in the limelight and was the savior of the Great Zhou. Since she was willing to give him the face to let Shangguan Ying go, he naturally had to protect her.
With the intervention of Jingzhao Yin and Eunuch Li, a conflict was resolved, and the previous road blocking farce was also investigated, and it was found that it was also Shangguan Ying's doing.
Although Shangguan Ying apologized sincerely, no one could take the responsibility for delaying the banquet for so many wives and daughters of officials and nobles.
In the end, Shangguan Ying was taken back to Jingzhao Yin. The master and servants followed Li Mingxuan with sad faces. During the whole process, Bai Yue did not dare to utter a word except to wipe away her tears quietly.
As she limped past Bai Li, her teeth chattered.
She was roaring in her heart: Why! Why did God favor Bai Li!
Every time she was defeated by Bai Li, and each time was more embarrassing than the last!
She is unwilling to accept it!
But no matter how much she hated and was unwilling, she dared not show it, because even the emperor was helping that bitch Bai Li. Didn't he see that even the legitimate daughter of the Shangguan family was going to become the Jingzhao Yin!
Bai Yue's resentful gaze followed Bai Li's figure like a poisonous snake until she walked away and could no longer be seen.
The road was clear, and everyone dispersed and got on their respective carriages to attend the banquet.
"Phew, those ladies from the official families must have suffered terribly after being exposed to the scorching sun for so long.
I don’t know how I’ll be able to criticize Shangguan Ying in front of Concubine Shu later!”
"Who cares? Just don't mess with me.
If there are any more ignorant people who come over, I will beat them up one by one, and if there are two, I will beat them up a pair!"
Wu Lanzhi shrank her neck. Her eldest brother was very powerful, but they were going to the palace soon, so she hoped he wouldn't cause any trouble.
