Chapter 230: Almost choked to death by a meatball!

"What's there to be ashamed of? Besides, I gave you real money. If some ignorant people stole it or did something to it, the loss to everyone would be secondary. It would be bad for my reputation."

After saying this, Xu Yanyi looked at the guests who were watching and said leisurely, "It's best to let the people check the things you bring on the spot, otherwise it will be bad if something goes wrong. Didn't such a thing happen in the city before? An old man was celebrating his birthday and the gift was originally a painting. Who knew that someone played a prank and wrote a poem on it, which directly angered the old man to death."

This incident actually happened, and the case was even brought to the government office, but it has not been resolved yet.

When everyone heard this, they thought that Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang didn't seem like the kind of people who could figure things out, so they took their gift boxes to the Lin family's accountant to open and inspect them.

Mr. Lin and the old lady looked very unhappy, but they knew that Xu Yanyi did it on purpose just to respond to what Lin Mengyan and Mu Liufang had just said. They quickly invited Xu Yanyi in respectfully.

Mu Liufang and Lin Mengyan were warned by Master Lin in a low voice from behind: "Don't make any more trouble! Mengyan is not sensible, don't you understand it, Mu Liufang! I know you think it's not worth it for King Nanling, but King Nanling himself didn't say anything, why do you care so much?

He is a man who commands a large army and is feared by both the Queen Mother and the Emperor. He didn't say anything just now, but that's only because you are his aunt, his only relative at the moment. He gave you face, but what if you are not his? Do you think he will help you or Xu Yanyi?

Since the divorce has not been signed, Xu Yanyi is still his princess. Would he like you to say that his woman is cheating on him in front of so many people, or right under his nose?"

"Master, I just..."

Mu Liufang felt that he couldn't explain it clearly.

Master Zhu snorted coldly: "Women's opinions, don't make trouble for no reason! It will bring trouble to our Zhu family! Be content!"

"Dad, it's obviously that Xu Yanyi who is unfaithful to her husband!"

Lin Mengyan retorted angrily.

Master Zhu was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her in the face, saying angrily: "No matter what she is, she is still the Princess of Huiyang. Three years ago, she was regarded as the mastermind of the rebellion, but she survived. You are still trying to embarrass her now. Don't you see that she is completely different now and will never be bullied? If you make trouble again, I will lock you up!"

snort!

Mr. Zhu angrily threw his sleeves and walked away quickly, supporting Mrs. Zhu who was sighing beside him.

Lin Mengyan covered her face in disbelief: "My dad actually beat me because of that bitch Xu Yanyi!"

Mu Liufang stepped forward and advised: "Alright, alright, your father is just anxious. He usually dotes on you. Besides, your father is right. Xu Yanyi's personality is indeed different from before. We have prepared a big trick for her. We can't let it die here before we use it. A little impatience will lead to big plans, understand? As long as Nan Zhou gives up, I will promise you to Nan Zhou. Then you will be the Princess of Nanling!"

"What about Li Qiu'er? Wasn't it you who placed Li Qiu'er with the prince back then?"

Lin Mengyan felt aggrieved. If she hadn't felt that the position of Princess Nanling was hopeless, she wouldn't have been clinging to Master Yue all this time. Even though Master Yue was disfigured and sick, he was rich enough to rival a country. If Master Yue died, wouldn't all the properties be hers?

It's also good to have no lover but to have endless money to live a life of luxury.

But now there is hope again, and Lin Mengyan really doesn't want to give up.

Hearing Li Qiuer's name, Mu Liufang whispered: "Li Qiuer is still in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Although Mu Nanzhou has already sent someone to take care of it privately, no one will do anything to her. It's just that it's inconvenient for Xu Yanyi. She may be locked up for ten days or half a month.

Besides, she had a bad reputation and had been in jail before. Even if the emperor granted her a marriage, she would at best be a concubine and there was no way she could become a princess.

But you are different. You have a clean background and a good family. If Nan Zhou agrees, after Xu Yanyi leaves, won't the position of the princess be yours? I put her next to Nan Zhou at that time. Wasn't it hard for Nan Zhou at that time? You couldn't bear that kind of hardship. Now that you have survived, what's wrong with you just picking up the ready-made one?"

Hearing this, Lin Mengyan was so happy that she didn't feel any pain from being slapped by Master Zhu. She took Mu Liufang's arm and shook it gently, as if she was acting coquettishly: "You are not my biological mother, but you are better than my biological mother. You treat me so well."

"Of course. I don't have any children of my own. You are my own children in my eyes."

Mu Liufang patted her hands, and the two of them went in.

*At the banquet, Mu Nanzhou and Xu Yanyi sat at the main table. Master Yue was really acting as a guard responsibly. He stood beside Xiaoyu without any complaints.

Xiaoyu whispered, "Master Yue, the princess said that your indenture contract was written to shut those people up, so you don't have to take it seriously. Just do what you have to do on a daily basis. You don't have to really be her bodyguard, so as not to delay your business."

Master Yue looked at Xu Yanyi in front of him with a gentle gaze. He smiled and said, "It's okay, there's no delay."

Xiaoyu didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Master Yue's eyes were particularly gentle when he looked at Xu Yanyi. If she could see his expression under the mask, she would have made up some imaginary things in her own imagination.

Even if Mu Nanzhou didn't turn around, he could still feel Master Yue's two fiery eyes on Xu Yanyi. He gritted his teeth and warned Xu Yanyi, who was eating slowly beside him, in a low voice: "You and Zhan Qiyue, be careful. If you dare to do anything shameful, I will not let you two go!"

Xu Yanyi raised her head impatiently and directly used chopsticks to poke a meatball into his mouth: "Are you annoyed? If you look like this, I will think you are jealous."

“…”

Mu Nanzhou was nearly choked to death by the meatball. With so many people watching him, he couldn't spit it out, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed it in annoyance.

After finally swallowing the meatballs, Mu Nanzhou was about to speak when a maid who was serving the dishes slipped and dropped the dish directly onto Xu Yanyi.

Xu Yanyi's eyes turned cold as she caught the dish with her hand. She turned around and placed the dish on the table intactly. She wiped the juice off her clothes and looked up at the maid.
