"If the Marquis doesn't want to, then forget it."
Shen Ruoyan didn't urge him, but just looked at him with a smile. The invisible pressure made Lu Jing sweat on his back.
"I'll sign, I'll sign, okay?"
He signed his name with a broken heart, and felt heartbroken every time he looked at it.
But fortunately, after signing, Shen Ruoyan's attitude towards him returned to the same as before. It really is true that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!
He suffered a great loss!
However, later Lu Jing thanked himself for his foresight today.
Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan were sons of a marquisate, one a prince and the other an adopted son, but they were maliciously beaten by the princess for helping their classmate who was bullied by Prince Shun.
A fight between children is not enough to solve a case, but when adults intervene, the meaning changes.
Previously, Prince Shun's Mansion relied on its power and not only refused to admit its own actions, but even incited public opinion and threw dirty water on the Changning Marquis Mansion. But now the truth has come to light, and after the storyteller incident, the princess's reputation has completely collapsed.
"Is this what you meant by finding a solution?" Prince Shunqing was furious. Such a small matter had been delayed for so long, and in the end, it was their palace that was brought to shame!
Especially since the princess's invitation was taken back by the princess's mansion, she became a laughing stock among the entire circle of noble ladies in Shengjing!
Even her husband is embarrassed!
"Do you know that when I entered the palace today, I was criticized by my brother again. He said that Princess Yihe said that you are lacking in morals and have brought disgrace upon the royal family, and asked me to teach you a lesson!"
A princess has fallen to the point where she has to be taught the rules by her husband's family. If anyone tells others about it, it will be a laughing stock.
But the person who spoke was his imperial sister who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, so even he could not refute it.
The princess felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to disobey the prince's words. She could only reluctantly defend herself: "I don't know why the princess did this. I heard that she even asked Shen Ruoyan to accompany her to appreciate the flowers. Isn't this deliberately slapping our palace in the face?"
Her mind began to race at this point. "Besides, the princess is still a member of the royal family. Even if I did something wrong, I can't say anything behind closed doors. Why would she have to help outsiders speak?"
The more the princess thought about it, the more she felt that it wasn't her fault. It was all the princess's fault for being narrow-minded and unable to tolerate mistakes. "If you ask me, the princess doesn't take the prince seriously. If it was her own brother, would she act so disrespectfully?"
She took back the invitation to the princess, but invited Shen Ruoyan to the banquet. Princess Yihe's move really showed that she did not take Prince Shun's Mansion seriously at all.
The princess said something that touched the prince's heart. If he was his biological brother, would she do the same?
Could she be so cruel?
After all, they are not brothers from the same mother, so naturally they will not care that much. They would rather protect an outsider than consider their own family members.
Now the people outside all say that Princess Yihe is clear about right and wrong and is a model of royal noble ladies - this good reputation was gained by stepping on the roof of Prince Shun's palace!
Prince Shun's face was gloomy and he was very angry.
But the current situation is not favorable to him. If he cannot give an explanation, I am afraid that even his brother will not stand on his side.
"You don't have to worry about the princess. The most urgent thing is to calm this matter down." Prince Shun could be said to have done nothing, but he could not be accused of bullying others by taking advantage of his power.
Everyone in Shengjing City knows whose power he is relying on!
If I drag my royal brother into this, it will be too late to regret!
The princess also realized that the current development of the situation had exceeded her imagination. Even after spending so much money, she still couldn't control public opinion.
She stared at the prince blankly, trying to find an idea, "Then your Majesty, how should this matter be resolved?"
Prince Shun looked at her deeply and thought, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!
The roosters outside had been crowing for a long time, and the sky was bright. The innkeeper opened the door, rubbed his still damp eyes, and began to clean in a daze.
Gradually, as the light in the sky became more and more dazzling, more and more people appeared walking outside.
At this moment, a gorgeous carriage suddenly stopped at the gate of the Marquis of Changning's mansion. People passing by stopped curiously, wanting to see who was sitting in such a beautiful carriage.
"This princess misunderstood the two young masters of your mansion and failed to punish them. Now that I have come to my senses, I have prepared a generous gift and come to apologize!"
Princess Shun stood at the gate of the Marquis of Changning's mansion and spoke loudly. The people around her widened their eyes in shock, and some even pinched their arms, thinking they were dreaming!
The princess came to apologize?
Is this real?
After Shen Ruoyan got the news, she immediately rushed to the door. She adjusted her clothes as she walked. Even in a panic, she was cautious and prudent, and did not lose her composure in her haste to leave the house.
But by the time she arrived, the entrance to the Marquis's residence was already completely surrounded. Princess Shun stood in the crowd, her face no longer brimming with arrogance, but softly explaining that she had taken action because she had misunderstood the two young masters of the Marquis's residence as bullying her child.
She was just a strong mother, and after learning the truth, she felt very regretful.
However, due to the reputation of Prince Shun's Mansion, he dared not go out, which made the rumors become more and more rampant.
Now that she has figured it out, she put aside her status and came to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion with generous gifts to apologize, hoping to gain the Marquis's wife's forgiveness.
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding. If my child was bullied, I would definitely take action. The princess's actions are actually understandable."
"Yes, and the Princess of Shun is of such a noble status, she's a member of the royal family! She's actually willing to condescend to come and apologize in person. Her sincerity is truly commendable..."
"If I were the wife of the Marquis, I would definitely not care. The princess has admitted her mistake, what else do you want her to do?"
Sometimes people are so contradictory and ridiculous.
When standing from the perspective of the weak, no matter how noble the status of the bully is or how powerful he is, they seem to be able to unite and rise up in resistance, vowing to uphold justice and fairness in this world!
However, when the superiors put aside their status and come to them in person, casually saying a few words of concern, or like the princess, personally apologized - they felt that this was already very good, and it would be impolite to make a fuss about it.
Because, from the beginning to the end, they put themselves in an unequal position.
They put themselves in the lowest place in the dust, and when others show a little kindness, they deceive themselves and grab it.
I thought this was fair.
In fact, this is the beginning of the inequality.
The door of the Marquis' Mansion was opened in a flash, and Shen Ruoyan walked out slowly amidst the crowd. Seeing the princess acting passionately over there, a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes, but her face was not at all flustered.
Acting, right?
I am a master in this area!
