Song Mengyun had never suffered such humiliation before. Seeing that her own guards dared not step forward, she became even angrier.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings, you're even afraid of a tiger! Do you think our Duke's mansion is just keeping you around for free?! Get up here now!"
Song Mengyun shouted angrily.
However, he dared not step forward and make a move against Gu Lili.
She could sense that the woman in front of her, who was a head shorter than her, was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
If she were to rush forward rashly, it would definitely be more than just a slap.
Hearing Song Mengyun's roar, the guards looked around, then drew their swords and charged towards Wei Yin.
This terrified Gu Huanhuan and Gu Chenxi.
Gu Lili quickly pulled Gu Huanhuan into her arms, while Gu Chenxi swiftly stepped in front of Gu Lili to protect her.
"Wei Yin, do you need any help?" Gu Lili asked calmly.
Wei Yin smiled and shook his head.
"Princess, don't worry. A few petty thieves are nothing to you," Wei Yin said with a wicked smile.
To be honest, he's been wanting to toughen up his body for more than just a day or two.
Before, when I followed Yin Jiuchen, I almost always lived a life of constant danger.
Since arriving at Gu Lili's house, I've been doing farm work every day. Although I feel free and independent, my hands have been itching to get back to work.
His mission was to protect Gu Lili.
Who is this Princess Mengyun? He doesn't recognize her; he only recognizes Yin Jiuchen and Gu Lili.
If Yin Jiuchen had been present, this matter would not have been as simple as just throwing the person out.
It's not like Gu Lili, who just slapped him and that was it.
The Duke of Song's family was originally a hereditary title, and by Song Mengyun's generation, it had come to an end.
If the young master of the Song family fails to make any impact in the court, then the Song State Duke's Mansion will be completely in decline.
Moreover, the Duke of Song has been idle all day long, and the Emperor and Yin Jiuchen have long disliked him.
Unexpectedly, Song Mengyun came to Gu Lili's house to cause trouble.
Wouldn't that just put the blame on the Emperor and Yin Jiuchen?
Gu Lili is Yin Jiuchen's savior. Once Yin Jiuchen returns to the capital, Gu Lili's identity will likely change again.
Gu Lili is someone Song Jia can't afford to offend.
It was Wei Yin's address of her as "County Princess" that made Song Mengyun realize that the person who had hit her was the very person they were looking for.
Han Mei's suspicions were confirmed.
What puzzled them was why a county princess would wear coarse linen clothes.
However, considering her background, it makes sense.
Even if a peasant girl is granted the title of county princess by the emperor, she is still a peasant girl.
What's the point of pairing it with silk and satin!
Thinking of this, Song Mengyun's eyes showed even more contempt.
No wonder she dared to hit herself!
If she knew that her rank was one level higher than hers, she would be so frightened that she would wet her pants and beg for mercy on her knees.
Just as Song Mengyun was immersed in her fantasy, she heard her eight guards groan a few times before being thrown out of the courtyard by Wei Yin.
If it weren't for the fear of soiling Gu Lili's yard, Wei Yin would have really wanted to see blood.
Just throwing it out like that isn't satisfying.
When Song Mengyun saw that her guards had been thrown out by Wei Yin, who was so pretty and delicate, she was startled.
“Princess Yongning, how rude of you! You didn’t even bow to me, the princess, and you even hit me and threw my guards out! Do you know what it means to be a guest?” Song Mengyun took a step back and said defiantly.
She was genuinely scared now, having witnessed Wei Yin's martial arts skills firsthand.
She was really afraid that she would also be thrown out like this, all fresh and pretty.
Gu Lili snorted coldly and said, "Vulgar? Guests are guests? What kind of guest is someone who comes uninvited? You broke into my house without permission and even hit my family members. You actually think I will treat you kindly? How ridiculous."
If Song Mengyun hadn't been hiding behind her maid, Gu Lili would have felt that one slap wasn't enough.
"Do you know who I am! I am Princess Mengyun! My rank is much higher than yours! Even if I wanted to kill this little bitch next to you, what could you do to me?" Song Mengyun said, her momentum somewhat lacking.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lili burst out laughing.
Gu Lili suddenly laughed, leaving Song Mengyun somewhat confused.
Moreover, for some reason, looking at Gu Lili's ambiguous smile, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Song Mengyun hid behind her maid, but Gu Lili rushed over in a flash and kicked the maid who was blocking Song Mengyun's side away.
Back then, she trained with Yin Jiuchen for several months and often did farm work.
They have plenty of strength.
Although, unlike Yin Jiuchen and Wei Yin, they cannot simply fly away at will.
However, beating up a few pampered women in a mansion would be a piece of cake.
Song Mengyun's maid fell to the ground, startling Song Mengyun.
Before he could react, Gu Lili jumped up, grabbed his hair, and slapped him hard three or four times.
"Are you deaf?! You dare to hit my family in my own home, and you even dare to be so arrogant as to threaten to kill them. You're just asking for death!" Gu Lili said, and then slapped him several more times.
When Gu Chenxi was beaten and Meng Yun cried, she couldn't help but cry when she saw Gu Lili protecting her.
However, as Princess Mengyun just said, her rank is higher than Gu Lili's. If Gu Lili offends Princess Mengyun for her own sake, it would be a loss for her.
She was just a drifting duckweed, and after receiving Gu Lili's help, she had enjoyed such a good life for so long, and she was already content.
If this Princess Mengyun insisted on killing her, and it would be to vent her anger without implicating Gu Lili, she would be willing.
"Girl, girl, please don't hit me anymore, I... I'm fine." Gu Chenxi quickly went over and pulled Gu Lili away.
At this moment, blood began to seep from the corners of Song Mengyun's mouth, and her originally delicate cheeks were swollen and red.
It looked exactly like a freshly slaughtered pig's head.
Han Mei, who was standing to the side, seemed to only then realize what was happening, and hurriedly helped Gu Chenxi separate Gu Lili and Song Mengyun.
At this moment, Han Mei was very annoyed. If she had known, she would not have encouraged Song Mengyun to come to the Gu family.
Now, neither of them can afford to offend the other.
It's still unclear how this matter should end.
No matter how it ends, it certainly can't be downplayed or ignored.
Although Gu Lili was angry, she remained rational.
Since she dared to hit Song Mengyun, she must have left herself a way out.
Even if the matter were to reach the Emperor, Gu Lili wouldn't be afraid; everything is governed by propriety.
If being of a high rank means you can freely go to other people's homes and kill them, then where is the law?
Since the emperor was able to bestow upon me the title of county princess, he must be a wise ruler.
Therefore, Gu Lili fought without any restraint.
Besides, there's still Yin Jiuchen! Why not use such a valuable connection? Why suffer injustice for nothing!
