Chapter 299 Well, that's very well said
The moment Li Qinyu was about to fall to his feet, Xiao Jin quickly took a step back to avoid any contact with her, even the corner of her clothes.
"What on earth is going on?"
Marquis Chang'an came behind Xiao Jin. When he arrived, the servants had already explained the situation here to him. He was somewhat dissatisfied that Su Ying had ruined the banquet he had carefully prepared, but he was a smooth person and would not offend anyone right away, especially when Xiao Jin was present.
"My Lord, please make the decision for me." When the wife of Marquis Chang'an saw Marquis Chang'an, she felt like she had seen his backbone. She walked over with a weak look on her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Okay, tell me slowly what happened. Now that the King of Qi is here, he will definitely give you justice." Marquis Chang'an cleverly kicked the ball to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin ignored the people around him and kept his eyes on Su Ying from beginning to end. He became unhappy when he saw Su Ying frowning and looking like she was suppressing her anger.
"Don't be angry."
He walked up to him and whispered, but the crying of the wife of Marquis Chang'an was so loud that it drowned out his voice.
Su Ying glanced at him, and her eyes seemed to say, that's it, it's hard not to be angry.
"Your Highness, the princess has gone too far. Not only did she bully my daughter and mother, she also injured the guards of the Marquis' Mansion. Please, Your Highness, take charge of the Marquis' Mansion."
Li Qinyu was unable to touch Xiao Jin and felt a little disappointed, but she quickly raised her face which was red from being hit by the white frost, and cried so pitifully.
"This...the guards were all beaten by the princess?" Marquis Chang'an was a little unconvinced, but it seemed that there was no one else around Su Ying except a maid who looked even weaker than her.
Xiao Jin lowered his eyes indifferently, "Why did she humiliate you?"
When Li Qinyu heard Xiao Jin's question, she trembled and said, "Just now the princess hit Miss Rong. Miss Rong is a guest of the Marquis' Mansion today. As the hostess, I can't let Miss Rong be bullied, so I came out to speak a few fair words for Miss Rong. Who knew... the princess got angry."
"Then why did she hit Miss Rong?" Xiao Jin asked patiently.
"Miss Rong was just playing a joke on the princess..."
"What a joke?"
"Yes, it's about the eldest prince. The princess wanted to know whether the eldest prince came to the banquet today, but Miss Rong told her not to have any more unreasonable thoughts. The princess was so angry that she beat Miss Rong."
"I see."
Li Qinyu looked up in surprise, not understanding why Xiao Jin could still be so calm after hearing what he had heard. As a man, shouldn't he be furious when he heard that his woman was always chasing after a man?
At this time, Xiao Jue suddenly stood out from the crowd, looking at Xiao Jin with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"This is just a misunderstanding. Prince Qi doesn't have to be angry. Some of the past between me and Princess Qi is indeed easy to be misunderstood." Everyone in the capital doesn't know that Su Ying chases after Xiao Jue for no reason, and she is not content even after marrying Xiao Jin.
The gossip genes in the bodies of the people present were boiling as they looked at Xiao Jin and the others. What kind of sparks would be created if the three people who were rumored in the capital were standing here!
After Xiao Jue finished speaking, he looked at Su Ying with a gentle and affectionate expression, "If you want to know where I am in the future, you can just ask me."
Just when everyone thought that there was going to be a good show, Su Ying's cold voice rang out, "Are you sick? Who would want to know where you are going? What's the misunderstanding? Can you piss yourself in the mirror? Don't get too close, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed by the comparison of my prince."
Xiao Jue choked and clenched his fists.
Xiao Jin was slightly stunned. What did he just hear?
My prince.
Well, well said.
As soon as Su Ying said this, everyone stared in astonishment, their eyes moving back and forth between Xiao Jin and Xiao Jue.
Compared with Xiao Jin, Xiao Jue looked much weaker. When he stood in front of Xiao Jin, his aura was much weaker.
"So they were beaten because they spread rumors about Princess Qi?" Xiao Jin said lightly, his black eyes gradually becoming cold.
"Prince Qi is not like that. The Princess of Qi is to the eldest prince..."
"What is it? I don't hit women, but the princess can." Xiao Jin's dark eyes were like an invisible mountain pressing down on Li Qinyu's heart, scaring her so much that the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.
"The Princess of Qi just beat so many people in the Marquis' Mansion for no reason." The Marquis's wife was furious when she saw that Xiao Jin favored Su Ying.
Xiao Jin frowned slightly, but looked at Su Ying, "Next time, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself, just let the guards do it."
Su Ying waved her hands indifferently, "Just think of it as stretching your muscles."
Everyone was shocked and angry as they listened to the couple's nonsense without caring about others.
"My Lord..."
Marquis Chang'an patted his wife's hand soothingly, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
"Prince Qi, Your Highness, this is just a misunderstanding. The roasted whole lamb should be almost done by now. Please, Your Highness, take a seat."
"Misunderstanding? Marquis Chang'an feels humiliated and spreads rumors about my princess. Is this a misunderstanding?"
Marquis Chang'an frowned. He had already given them a way out by saying this. If Xiao Jin still insisted on holding on to it, it was indeed too disrespectful of the Marquisate's Mansion.
"What do you want, my lord?"
"All those who have humiliated the princess must come here and kowtow to her and confess their guilt. The princess has the final say on whether to forgive or not."
Rong Mingxi had just recovered from her shock, and she would rather die than kowtow to Su Ying!
Li Qinyu also gritted her teeth and kowtowed to Su Ying. How could she be worthy of that?
Xiao Jin pulled Su Ying to sit down on the chair leisurely.
"If you don't admit your mistakes, you will be charged with fabricating rumors and slandering others."
Xiao Jue stared at Xiao Jin, "The King of Qi is so majestic!"
Xiao Jin's dark eyes narrowed, "I will naturally protect my princess, and it is not your turn to make decisions."
Marquis Chang'an forced a smile and said, "Is it unfair for Your Majesty to do this?"
Xiao Jin raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Fair? Today I will let you know what is fair. Someone, arrest the people who spread rumors about the princess and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice. I suspect they are trying to sow discord between me and the princess."
Upon hearing this, the imperial guards behind Xiao Jin stepped forward and surrounded Rong Mingxi and the others.
Rong Mingxi's face changed drastically. If she was caught by the imperial guards, she would be sent to the Ministry of Justice. Even if she was innocent, her reputation would be affected.
"No, don't catch me, I did nothing wrong!"
The faces of the people in the Marquis' Mansion also turned ugly.
But Xiao Jin was tough and would not tolerate any resistance from them.
"Xiao Jin, you've gone too far!" Xiao Jue roared.
Xiao Jin ignored what others said and took action directly.
"You, you have gone too far. Is there no law?" The marquis's wife screamed and struggled out of control.
Seeing that Xiao Jin was serious, Marquis Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little worried. He softened his attitude and stepped forward, "Your Highness, Princess, please calm down. This is just a misunderstanding. I will ask them to apologize to you right now. Why are you still standing there? Come over and apologize to you!"
