Luo Lingyu said in a playful tone: "I have a narrow vision, I am petty, I am not worthy of being on the stage?"
Chen Xiu glanced away and saw the half-smile on her pretty face. Chen Xiu didn't like the beauty of women, let alone the beauty of this girl Luo, who was almost seductive and improper... Chen Xiu emphasized: "I am doing this for your own good. Sister, please don't let me down."
Luo Lingyu smiled and lowered her voice: "Sister Chen, although my parents died early, the elders in my family are still alive. You don't need to teach me my character. Even now that I live in the Lu family, my aunts and uncles don't say anything about me. This is the first time I meet you, and we have never met before. I don't think you have the right to teach me... But since you said I was 'petty', I will let you know what 'petty' means."
She stumbled several steps to the side, and the wet pens in her hand were thrown out of her hand, and the water spilled onto her sleeves. At the same time, her hand unconsciously held onto something beside her to steady herself, but she raised her other hand and threw the inkstone on the table, and the ink splashed over and left a streak on her hand.
She stumbled backwards, knocking over the screen, and fell to the ground, clutching her wrist and crying out in pain.
She raised her eyes, staring at Chen Xiu with disbelief and heartbreak, her lips trembling: "You, you..."
The screen fell to the ground with a loud bang, attracting everyone's attention.
Many ladies and gentlemen came to help Luo Lingyu. Luo Lingyu trembled and said nothing, but Han's daughter was already filled with righteous indignation: "Chen Xiu, what's wrong with you? How can you bully Sister Luo?"
Chen Xiu stared at Luo Lingyu, who was surrounded by people and covered her sleeves with sadness: "..."
This girl... these methods... Chen Xiu was so angry that she pursed her lips: "I have nothing..."
Liu Tang also grabbed Luo Lingyu's hand distressedly: "Sister Luo's hand is injured... If Sister Luo wants to paint, won't she be unable to do so?"
Chen Xiu: "I simply..." Her eyes, seeking help, stopped in one direction, and she saw the Prince of Hengyang, the Prince of Chen, Lu Sanlang and others coming over. Chen Xiu's eyes lit up: Because Chen Xiu wanted to please Lu Sanlang, the screen she chose was where Lu Sanlang and others were. Luo Lingyu didn't see it because she was carrying her back to her, but Chen Xiu knew it! They were not far away, and these people were all top martial artists with good hearing. They saw everything that happened just now clearly.
However, Luo Lingyu remained calm and didn't take it seriously: "They were standing so close to each other, with a screen between them, how could anyone else know anything? They were also busy talking and scheming."
Liu Tang immediately complained to his brother: "Brother, Madam Chen bullied Sister Luo!"
Chen Wang Liu Chu coughed and looked at Lu Sanlang with a gleaming gaze: This is your cousin...
Lu Sanlang lowered his eyes and looked at Luo Lingyu's ink-stained hands. He looked at Chen Xiu, then at Luo Lingyu, and said in a sad and distressed tone: "My cousin is really... wronged."
Chen Xiu's lips turned pale and trembled: "Lu Sanlang!"
Five thunders struck the top, and I was hit hard!
Hengyang Prince Liu Mu looked at Luo Lingyu up and down with curiosity: I can’t tell, I can’t tell... Is this the “scorpion beauty” that Mr. Kong mentioned?
Lu Erlang, who had been panting and trying to find the Prince of Hengyang to connect him with Luo Lingyu, came back and saw people surrounding the weak girl with a white face and tears in her eyes, and then saw the Prince of Hengyang's eyes fixed on Luo Lingyu. Lu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and was delighted: It seems that I don't have to do anything, fate has determined that the Prince of Hengyang still likes my cousin Luo.
Chapter 37
Prince Chen was a man of few words, so Chen Xiu had not expected him to intervene; Prince Hengyang did not understand the power of the various families in Jianye, so it was fine that he would not take the initiative to speak; but Chen Xiu thought she had known Lu Sanlang for many years, so why did he not even ask and directly stand on Luo Lingyu's side?
Surrounded by a crowd, all came to blame.
Chen Xiu's head was buzzing, and she hadn't seen this situation yet. She saw those men and women actively speaking up for Luo Lingyu, but Luo Lingyu stood among them, delicate and weak, feeling wronged. She opened her mouth to speak, but Luo Lingyu seemed to be so upset that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence. The beauty's eyes moved around twice, and the tears in her eyes were as clear as lake water.
Lu Jilang hurried over and joined the crowd: What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?
Prince Hengyang stared at Luo Lingyu with eyes that were dark and bright, and even full of smiles: This method, without saying a word, made the beauty choke with tears, it was amazing.
Lu Erlang observed the look in the eyes of the King of Hengyang. Without knowing the truth, he was more convinced that the King of Hengyang was attracted to Luo Lingyu. Everyone else was concerned about the right and wrong of Luo Lingyu and Chen Xiu, while Lu Erlang and Lu Xian were alternately happy and sad: if the King of Hengyang really liked his cousin Luo, then it would mean that his dream was true; but if his dream was true, wouldn't it mean that his third brother Lu Yun would...
Lu Erlang looked at Lu Yun with sad eyes.
He was worried sick about his third brother.
But his third brother didn't appreciate it and even thought his eyes were crooked. In the crowd, Lu Sanlang moved to the side and used the heads of other people to block Lu Erlang's sight.
Lu Xian: “…”
In the crowd, Chen Xiu was very embarrassed by the accusation. She grabbed Luo Lingyu's wrist and said sternly: "I didn't touch a hair on your head. You can't judge me based on just a few words... Madam Luo, can't you speak?"
Luo Lingyu was very aggrieved and said slowly: "Okay, Sister Chen didn't touch a hair on my head..."
Her resentful and self-pitying tone had a worse effect than not saying anything, as if Chen Xiu was forcing her to do it. Chen Xiu was so angry that she was lying on her back. How could Han, who had just been bullied by Chen Xiu, let Luo Lingyu admit that Chen Xiu did nothing? Luo Lingyu had just started talking in a gloomy tone, but Han couldn't wait to speak: "How could you have ink on one hand and water on the other if you didn't touch Sister Luo? Your sleeves are all dirty! We are not blind, you should apologize quickly! How can you be like this? Sister Luo is a guest from afar, but you don't say you are welcome and you are bullying her. How can a girl from a famous family in Jianye be like this..."
The Han girl was very active and wanted to quarrel with Chen Xiu.
The Han family girl rushed out to argue, while the men and women nodded in agreement. Hiding behind the crowd, Luo Lingyu lowered her head, trying to hide the cunning and complacent smile on the corner of her lips. She had always been good at playing tricks on other girls, and her record was brilliant. However, Luo Lingyu's other sleeve hanging down by her body was suddenly grabbed by the wrist.
