Qiao Zixi subconsciously moved her body back, putting her face in the shadows, before saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Prince, but I am not feeling well today, so I will not go."
Ye Zerui didn't speak, but looked at Bai Mengying with a smile on his face.
Bai Mengying knew that Ye Zerui had something to say to her.
Her cousin appeared to be a gentle and polite gentleman, but in reality, he was a treacherous and vicious person who would not give up until he achieved his goals.
Otherwise, she would have become the Second Prince's wife long ago.
After a moment's thought, Bai Mengying looked at Qiao Zixi and said, "Little sister Xi'er, my cousin and I haven't seen each other for a long time. How about I have someone take you back to the Princess's residence first, and then I'll send the imperial physician to treat you. After I finish attending the palace banquet, I'll have a good chat with you. Is that alright?"
Although she really wanted to ask more about the Marquis of Anyang, it seemed impossible now.
We need to find out what Ye Zerui wants from her first.
Qiao Zixi nodded happily upon hearing this. She would be content as long as a royal physician was willing to treat her.
"Then Princess, please go quickly, don't keep the Second Prince waiting."
Bai Mengying thought about it and felt a little uneasy.
So, before getting off the car, he took Qiao Zixi's hand with sincere eyes and said softly, "Little Xi'er, thank you for believing in me."
I swear, I really didn't do that to your face. I don't know what I did wrong to make Marquis Anyang think of me like that, but I will never betray the trust that Sister Xi'er has placed in me.
Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to heal your face.
Qiao Zixi was moved to tears.
She knew that her sister-in-law, the princess, loved her the most and would never do anything to hurt her!
The more Qiao Zixi saw how wonderful Bai Mengying was, the more she hated Su Muxi.
At the same time, he also came to hate Qiao Xiuyuan.
Since her father doesn't consider her his biological daughter, then she shouldn't blame him for not acknowledging Qiao Xiuyuan as her father!
"You're so good to me, Princess! It's ridiculous that my father still wants my brother to remarry that slut Su Muxi! Don't worry, Princess, I will never let Su Muxi step back into the gates of my Marquis of Anyang's mansion!"
Bai Mengying was even more surprised. Qiao Xiuyuan actually wanted Su Muxi to remarry Qiao Ziming.
Is he planning to marry her as a secondary wife, or should he first cancel the engagement and then propose to her as the principal wife?
However, whether it was the former or the latter, Qiao Xiuyuan was humiliating her!
This is absolutely outrageous!
But right now, Ye Zerui is waiting for her in another carriage. She has to hurry over, otherwise, if Ye Zerui gets impatient, given his temperament, he will definitely find a way to make things difficult for her.
“Sister Xi’er, let’s talk about these things later. Don’t overthink it. Heaven will decide who is right and who is wrong.”
However, not long after Bai Mengying left, Awang arrived with his men.
"Miss, the young master has sent me to fetch you back to the manor."
"I'm not going back! I'm going to the Princess's residence! Who gave you the audacity to stop the Princess's carriage!"
Qiao Zixi spoke sternly from inside the carriage. Although she was a little nervous, she did not believe that Awang would dare to use force.
Unexpectedly, the carriage curtain was lifted from the outside the next moment, and before she could even cry out, her arm was grabbed tightly by Awang.
"You filthy lackey, you are truly audacious!"
"This servant's courage was given to him by the young master. If Miss doesn't want to suffer, she'd better obediently come back to the manor with this servant, or don't blame this servant for being violent!"
Awang threatened in a deep voice, and before he finished speaking, Qiao Zixi was pulled out of the carriage.
Qiao Zixi panicked. In the struggle, the veil on her face fell off, revealing her terrifying face.
"Ugh! So ugly!"
"Who is this?! How disgusting!"
…
Hearing the mocking words of those around her and seeing their disdainful and contemptuous gazes, Qiao Zixi desperately tried to cover her face, but Awang held onto her wrist tightly.
"Miss, stop struggling. Please come back to the manor with me!"
The word "Miss" confirmed Qiao Zixi's identity to those around her.
"She looks like Qiao Zixi, the daughter of the Marquis of Anyang. What happened to her face? How did it get so ravaged?!"
"It must be divine retribution for her! Who told her to be so arrogant and domineering before! She deserved it!"
…
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zixi no longer bothered to cover her face and shouted angrily, "What do you lowly people know?! My face is ruined by that bitch Su Muxi! She was jealous of my beauty and deliberately seduced my tall and handsome fiancé!"
The person who should be punished isn't me, it's Su Muxi! You've all been fooled by Su Muxi!
Seeing this, Awang disregarded his disgust and immediately covered Qiao Zixi's mouth, forcibly dragging her into the carriage of the Marquis of Anyang's residence.
Although she was gone, Qiao Zixi's words left everyone speechless for a long time.
Was Qiao Zixi's face done by Su Muxi?
Did Su Muxi also seduce the young master of the Pei family?
Could it be that the rumors about Su Muxi being shameless and despicable are true?
Meanwhile, Bai Mengying, inside Ye Zerui's carriage, faintly heard some commotion, but she didn't expect it to be caused by Qiao Zixi. Instead, she looked at Ye Zerui, who had a half-smile on his face, and asked softly, "Cousin, is there something you want to tell me?"
Ye Zerui sat up straight and poured Bai Mengying a cup of tea. "It's nothing, I just wanted to thank my cousin."
As he spoke, he handed the teacup to Bai Mengying, "You arranged Madam He's affair, didn't you?"
Bai Mengying felt puzzled when she thought about Su Muxi's composed demeanor just now.
If Madam He had gone to find Su Muxi, how could Su Muxi have remained so calm?
But it's good that Ye Zerui found out; she's never been one to do good deeds anonymously.
"My cousin's information network is really good. I did arrange for someone to... ah!"
As Bai Mengying was speaking, she reached for the teacup, but before she could finish speaking, Ye Zerui poured all the hot tea from the cup onto her hand.
Upon hearing Bai Mengying's exclamation, the maid Mingyan's worried voice came from outside the carriage: "Princess, what's wrong?"
Ye Zerui put the teacup down and said to the outside, "It's nothing, my cousin just accidentally burned herself with the tea, she's fine."
The voice was gentle, and there was nothing amiss.
Bai Mengying covered her scalded hand, looked at Ye Zerui's smile, and her pretty face turned pale in an instant. After hesitating for a moment, she shouted out to the outside of the car, "I'm fine."
Then, lowering her voice further, she cautiously called out, "Cousin?"
Ye Zerui's smile vanished, and he looked coldly at Bai Mengying. "I don't have a cousin as stupid as you! All you do is use clumsy, underhanded tricks, which only benefit others!"
Bai Mengying was confused as to why Ye Zerui would say that. Just as she was about to ask, Ye Zerui urged, "Tell me, what are your plans for today's palace banquet? What arrangements have you made?"
