But in the eyes of Li's parents, this princess wanted their heads. They were scared to death even before they arrived at the emperor's court.
Li's father: "Li Xiyue, quickly kowtow to the princess and apologize, you wretched girl! Who told you to go to the princess? Do you think you can even know the princess?"
At this moment, Mr. Li was filled with regret. Why didn't he stay quietly in his small town and live a peaceful life? Why did he have to listen to this brat and come looking for his cousin Qingya? Now, the whole family of three almost met their demise here.
Looking at her father's cowardly appearance and recalling the majestic demeanor of Prince Feng just now, Li Xiyue felt a pang of envy.
"Father, I did nothing wrong. Is it wrong for me to just want to get to know the princess? Besides, the princess is my cousin's niece, and I am my cousin's niece. So, it's not wrong for me to be her sister!"
"No matter what, we're all family. Why do you have to make things difficult for me, Princess?"
Feng Qinghuang laughed angrily: "So, it's all my fault then, and I have to take you home as my little sister today?"
Murong Wan squeezed her daughter's hand, and Feng Qinghuang gave her a wink, signaling her to relax.
Li Xiyue: "Hmph, as long as you're not afraid of what others will say, you can deny that you bullied your own sister."
Feng Qinghuang scoffed, "Who dares to speak out?"
"And you, some random person who appeared out of nowhere, wanting to be my sister? What are you thinking! You came to meet me today just to become famous in this capital. Well, I can make you famous in another way."
Feng Qinghuang waved her hand, and a guard appeared: "Go and tie her up at the street corner, make her kneel there, hang a sign on her body, and say that she wants to be someone's sister, and we won't take a penny. Remember, anyone's sister."
"No, no, how dare you, Feng Qinghuang! How dare you do such a thing in public? Aren't you afraid of the Emperor's wrath?" Li Xiyue was truly terrified at this moment.
Unexpectedly, Feng Qinghuang has secret guards by her side. If Feng Qinghuang wanted to kill her, wouldn't it be an easy task?
Mr. and Mrs. Li quickly kowtowed, pleading, "Your Highness, Your Highness, and Princess, please forgive our daughter this time. She is still young and acts without thinking. We beg you."
Feng Qinghuang: "I see that although your daughter is small in stature, her behavior and mind are not those of an ordinary ten-year-old child. Moreover, she has just committed another offense, daring to call me by my full name. This is insubordination."
At this moment, Li's parents wished they could put Li Xiyue back into her womb and start anew.
It's their own fault for being so blinded by greed, listening to their daughter and wanting to gain something for nothing.
"Also, there are many wealthy and noble people in the streets of this capital. If someone takes a fancy to your daughter and adopts her as a sister, your family will rise to great heights."
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Li no longer cared about becoming rich and powerful; all they wanted was to save their lives.
Li Xiyue stepped back, trying to escape the range of the guards: "No, I won't go. I'm a sister from the Fengwang Mansion. I don't want to be someone else's sister."
The Fengwang family has one son and one daughter, and she is the youngest. She believes that as long as she moves in, she will surely win the favor of the Fengwang couple and will definitely be more favored in the future.
Just as Feng Qinghuang was about to speak, she saw Li Xiyue being thrown away by a force.
Li Xiyue traced an arc in mid-air before landing, kicking up dust from the ground.
Li Xiyue clutched her chest in pain, the metallic taste of blood rising straight up from her throat.
Everyone looked toward the spot where the power had been unleashed.
Feng Qingyun sat behind the table, sipping her wine: "This is utterly absurd. All sorts of nobodies are trying to claim kinship. This farce is over. Let's not waste any more time. Now, take your things with you."
The last sentence was spoken to the guard who had just been there. The guard obeyed, picked up Li Xiyue, and disappeared without a trace.
Mr. and Mrs. Li: "Qingya, Qingya, please save Xiyue! She's your niece!"
Xiao Qingya shook her head: "She brought this upon herself, so she has to pay for it. Also, you are no longer welcome in the Murong Manor. Don't come looking for me again."
"What...what are you saying? Do you think family ties can be denied so easily?"
Although they failed to gain access to the Phoenix King's Mansion, they cannot afford to lose the Murong Mansion.
Xiao Qingya: "Hmph, don't think I don't know why you came to find me. I just didn't want to make a fuss before, and besides, I don't have a daughter. I only took Xiyue in for a few days because she was so well-behaved. But who knew she would turn out to be such a thing?"
Xiao Qingya turned to look at her parents: "Dad, Mom, when you look at people in the future, you need to be more careful. Don't just look at appearances. Some people are very good at putting on a show."
Seeing the farce that had just unfolded, Xiao's parents naturally knew what had happened; they never expected to have let a wolf into their house.
"Li Hai, Wang Sujuan, don't come to my house anymore. We can't afford to feed your huge appetites."
Mr. and Mrs. Li: "You... just you wait and see."
After saying this, Mr. and Mrs. Li turned and left, as they needed to save their daughter first.
If we raise her for a few more years, maybe she can find a good family. We can't let her go to waste like this.
