Cheng Suyun whispered a few words to the man, then distanced herself from the situation.
“Uncle Li, I only said this method because you had no other choice. Otherwise, how could I dare to go against the future Crown Princess? In a moment…”
The man's surname was Li, and his given name was Li Dagen. The Cheng family had been revered in their hearts for many years, and Li Dagen responded repeatedly upon hearing this.
“Princess Cheng, what you said is also giving us advice. If we don’t scare that arrogant princess of the Moon Kingdom, how will she ever learn to behave?”
Cheng Suyun secretly didn't want Yue Jiang to get away with it so easily, so she made a few more casual remarks.
"Not necessarily. Haven't you heard before that the beauties from the Moon Kingdom are unparalleled in the world? Yue Jiang is right in front of you, so you know that what they say is true."
"If she marries into the Crown Prince's palace, her face will be constantly in front of His Highness. It's hard to guarantee that His Highness will always be clear-headed and intelligent."
"If one day you remember that you didn't cooperate with her and made her lose face, who knows if you'll retaliate?"
"She is a princess from the Yue Kingdom who is sent to marry a foreign ruler. Regardless of whether she is beautiful or not, the Jing Kingdom has no intention of backing down. She will eventually become His Highness's Crown Princess. If only her face were a little duller."
“Princess Cheng, I understand. We must not let Princess Yuejiang bewitch His Highness.”
Li Dagen didn't realize that Cheng Suyun was using him; he only knew that Cheng Suyun had considered things very thoroughly.
They are orphans, and even if they offend some important people, the royal family will treat them leniently.
Yue Jiang's appearance is undeniably beautiful, captivating all who see her. If she were to use her beauty to seduce His Highness and then seek revenge, she would be finished.
Princess Cheng also said that the Jing Kingdom would definitely marry the Yue Kingdom's princess, so it didn't matter how beautiful or ugly she was.
If we take away her beauty, perhaps she won't have so many ideas about acting on her own.
He must take advantage of the chaos to ruin Yue Jiang's face.
Cheng Suyun was secretly pleased that her idea had been achieved, but she put on a fearful and regretful face: "Li Dagen, don't do anything foolish. I was just complaining."
Li Dagen didn't listen to advice much: "Princess Cheng, please stop trying to persuade me. The complaints are also true. If you can say that, you don't know how often Princess Yuejiang pesters His Highness in the palace because of her face. It would be better for her to be more normal."
As he spoke, he strode toward the stall, shouting as he went.
“Princess Cheng, please don’t try to persuade me. You and the Cheng family have treated us orphans very well over the years.”
"But Princess Yuejiang distributed the allowances that should have been given to us orphans to others. Why should we, who lost our loved ones and our health for the sake of Jing Kingdom, have to suffer this injustice?"
"Why should we be the ones who get what we deserve today, and be left to watch pitifully? This is unfair!"
As Li Dagen finished speaking, he also smashed the wooden bowl hanging from his waist to the ground. The dull thud was not loud, but it was enough to warm the hearts of the orphans present.
They not only followed suit and threw away their bowls and spoons, but also rudely snatched the porridge bowls from the children's hands and threw them away, scaring the children into crying loudly.
The farmers, heartbroken for their children, tried to reason with the orphans, but the orphans, brimming with anger, immediately shoved them away.
The orphans then targeted the stall and started smashing things, quickly creating chaos in front of it.
Yue Jiang looked at Cheng Suyun and saw her offering advice while occasionally chuckling to herself.
The two people in the middle met each other's eyes, and Cheng Suyun immediately frowned, looking extremely helpless and frightened. She cried out in a soft voice.
"Princess Yuejiang, what should we do? I tried to persuade them, but it backfired."
Yue Jiang ignored her affected words. In any case, she had already anticipated what would happen, and it was better if things escalated.
"Shan Yi, protect the children!"
She repeatedly instructed Shan Yi, who was already maintaining security, and Shan Yi became even more diligent in protecting the children.
Yue Jiang saw that the situation wasn't too bad; the farmers had children, and the orphans had also brought children with them today, so neither side dared to go too far.
On the contrary, some came for Yue Jiang. In a short while, Li Dagen gathered dozens of orphans, who approached her with the air of wanting to reason with Yue Jiang.
His eyes were fixed on the bowls of porridge on the stall, and he gripped a stone tightly in his hand, clearly intending to throw porridge and stones at Yue Jiang.
Yue Jiang realized that even though her people could protect her, she couldn't remain completely undisturbed.
Furthermore, we must not let go of Cheng Suyun, who has been pretending to linger outside the commotion while actually stirring up trouble.
In front of Li Dagen, Yue Jiang called out urgently to those behind him, "Your Highness, you've arrived!"
The mere mention of Jingyan's name, whether true or false, always instilled fear in Li Dagen and the others, prompting them to search for him.
But they couldn't find anyone no matter how they looked. When they turned around, Yue Jiang was no longer there, and they knew they had been tricked.
They frantically searched for the person in all directions, only to find that the person had already run out of the bustling stall.
With guards clearing the way, Yue Jiang feigned weakness and fear as she fled. Taking advantage of Cheng Suyun's ignorance, she turned pale and grabbed the other's arm, crying out her grievances.
"Princess Cheng, they are being extremely unreasonable! How dare they cause trouble in the street? You must persuade them to stop!"
Cheng Suyun was stunned. She had asked Li Dagen to disfigure Yue Jiang's face, so how did she suddenly appear out of nowhere? She pretended to comfort her.
"Princess, don't be afraid. I'm just comforting you, I'm just comforting you."
Yue Jiang cried and urged, "Then hurry up, don't let them hurt the children."
"Yes, yes," Cheng Suyun replied, her eyes already searching for Li Dagen, noticing they were trapped in a chaotic mess.
In reality, without Cheng Suyun's knowledge, Li Dagen and the others had already been controlled by Yue Jiang's people and were unable to move.
"His Highness has arrived! No disorder is permitted!"
"His Highness has arrived! No disorder is permitted!"
...
Suddenly, several deep and loud voices came from outside the city. Cheng Suyun looked over and saw that it was Jing Yan who had returned from outside the city.
If Jingyan arrived in time, this rare disturbance would be quelled. She feared that all her efforts would be in vain, and she would lose the opportunity to deal with Yue Jiang.
