Chapter 311 Daring to Move
Faced with her anger, Meng Lingge remained calm.
"I will not kneel down, nor will I apologize. Miss Yue's behavior today was inappropriate, and my handling of the matter was reasonable. If Miss Yue continues to cause trouble, I will have no choice but to tell everyone about Miss Yue's reckless words and frivolous actions today, and let everyone judge for themselves."
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up even more, eagerly awaiting what would follow.
Yue Jiaoluo was filled with shame and indignation.
In fact, she felt that her behavior today was more restrained than when she treated her prey. After all, she guessed that the King of the Northern Frontier would not like anything too frivolous. But how she treated her prey was one thing, and how she made it public was another.
If people knew that she was lying on the bed of the Northern Frontier King, striking seductive poses and making up all sorts of lewd and indecent things, how could she ever face anyone again?
Besides, her senior sister is here too.
But if she showed weakness at this moment, it would prove that she was guilty, and everyone would wonder what they would think.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Yue Jiaoluo could only change the subject.
"Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to punish me? I didn't misbehave at your place. You're just a concubine who sleeps with me. What right do you have to deal with me?"
Yue Jiaoluo was furious and couldn't see the bigger picture; she only wanted to humiliate Meng Lingge.
The martial arts practitioners present could tell from Ren Yang's attitude and Meng Lingge's performance in the main courtyard that although she had no official title, the Northern Frontier King regarded her as more than just a concubine.
She was at least a favored concubine.
Yue Jiaoluo was agitated and angry, while Meng Lingge remained calm and composed.
“Miss Yue is dissatisfied with me and wants to seek justice from the King of the Northern Frontier. You can sit here and wait patiently. If you are worried that I will run away, I will wait here with you.”
The servants had cleaned up the broken pieces and tea on the ground. Meng Lingge sat in the host's seat, speaking in a calm tone as if she were having a casual chat with her.
The calmer she was, the more agitated and flustered Yue Jiaoluo became.
Both had their eyes on the King of Northern Frontier, so why did Meng Lingge have such a smooth ride while she suffered repeated setbacks?
These people were clearly her helpers, so why are they all speaking up for Meng Lingge now?
Meng Lingge was the one who humiliated her, so why is she the one being threatened now?
She is just as beautiful as Meng Lingge and is also skilled in martial arts. Why would she be outmaneuvered by a nameless and weak woman?
On what grounds?
Why...
Why should she have to wait just because Meng Lingge makes her wait? Who does this woman think she is?
"You didn't even wait for the King of Northern Frontier to return when you dealt with me, so why should I wait? I'll take my own revenge!"
Yue Jiaoluo wasn't just making empty threats; she took action immediately after saying those words.
She had long seen that Meng Lingge was not skilled in martial arts, and with her skills, she could easily suppress Meng Lingge.
Although there are many people here now, most of them are martial arts figures she brought with her.
Even if these people don't help her, they certainly won't go so far as to harm her.
Meng Lingge only had two maids and a commander, which she and her senior sister could handle.
She didn't do anything serious like murder or arson. Meng Lingge humiliated her, so she humiliated him back, and that made up for it.
With so many men here, it's hard to say whether this woman will survive after being humiliated and disgraced, or whether the King of the Northern Frontier will still want her.
According to Yue Jiaoluo's prediction, her move should go very smoothly. She should be able to tear off the other party's clothes, break the other party's calm and composed demeanor, and turn the other party from smug to begging for mercy.
But after she said that, people kept trying to stop her.
The first one was actually her senior sister, Yue Jiaoman.
"Luo'er, don't be impulsive."
Seeing Yue Jiaoluo's anger and embarrassment, Yue Jiaoman knew what she was thinking.
She also wanted to stand up for her junior sister, but publicly humiliating a pregnant woman would turn her into an unreasonable act, no matter how justified she was. Besides, she had already guessed that Yue Jiaoluo was in the wrong from the start.
If the other party is a street thug or a womanizer, regardless of whether it's Yue Jiaoluo's fault or not, she will stand by Yue Jiaoluo's side without hesitation and help her solve the problem.
But the King of the Northern Frontier was no ordinary man, and in his heart, this woman was by no means a concubine or maidservant.
Yue Jiaoluo has caused too much trouble this time; she can't protect her.
If this continues, there is a risk to their lives.
But Yue Jiaoluo became even angrier when she saw that she was being obstructed.
"Senior sister, you've always protected me. Just before we came in, you said you would never let anyone bully me for nothing. Are you going to go against me now?"
The anger in her eyes made Yue Jiaoman pause. For the first time, she regretted spoiling her too much in the past, which led to her causing such a disaster today, and she could no longer cover for her.
In that moment of distraction, Yue Jiaoluo had already broken free and continued forward. Ren Yang was the second to step forward and block her way.
"His Highness instructed that no one should harm her. Please wait a moment, Miss Yue, until His Highness returns before we deal with this matter."
It would be one thing if these people rushed in to argue with the princess, but if they injured her in front of him, he couldn't bear the responsibility.
Yue Jiaoluo felt a surge of resentment. It turned out that the Northern Frontier King really cared so much about this woman. If that was the case, even if she waited for the Northern Frontier King, he would not stand up for her.
In front of Ren Yang, Ye Guhong, and even several other outlaws were eyeing her covetously, clearly disagreeing with her harming Meng Lingge.
But now she was already on the verge of disaster and had no choice but to act. The feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone made her so angry that she didn't care about the consequences and only wanted Meng Lingge to experience the feeling of being humiliated.
It could be pain, regret, sadness, or heartbreak—anything that made Meng Lingge feel bad was acceptable.
Yue Jiaoluo and Ren Yang got into a fight, but Ren Yang didn't want to hurt her, so he held back.
The two were evenly matched, and it was not appropriate for others to intervene.
Yue Jiaoluo deliberately moved closer to Meng Lingge's position. When she was about three steps away, she took the blow head-on and used the force to fling her longsword toward Meng Lingge.
No one expected her to suddenly resort to trickery. It was too late to stop her. They could only watch helplessly as the long sword moved with lightning speed, piercing straight towards Meng Lingge's abdomen.
The people around immediately jumped up and down, and screams of surprise rang out.
Meng Lingge seemed to be stunned into silence, remaining motionless.
The timid ones covered their eyes, while Qiu Lan and Lv Shui cried out in distress.
Ye Guhong was filled with regret. He had been careless when he saw that Ren Yang's martial arts were no less than Yue Jiaoluo's, so he deliberately drove away a bit, leaving the middle position for them to fight to their hearts' content. Now it was too late to save him.
At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Meng Lingge with lightning speed and kicked the longsword back.
The longsword made a turn in the air, its tip changing direction and flying towards Yue Jiaoluo's location. Before Yue Jiaoluo could even see who the newcomer was, the longsword was already at her chest.
She hurriedly dodged, but the longsword still pierced her left arm.
As the blood gushed out, she heard the voice that had kept her waiting for half the night.
"You dare touch my queen?"
