Chapter 64: Xiao Chifeng's Disrespect
Yu Jing next to her was not left out either, and a whole pot of tea was poured over her from head to toe.
"Ah!" Two screams rang out one after another.
Xiao Chifeng raised his lips in disdain and casually threw the teapot back on the table. "The one who seduced her own cousin's husband as a concubine was from the Yan family. This case was personally supervised by my cousin. The two people involved were either exiled or allowed to recuperate on the farm."
"Since you are so curious about this matter, why don't I personally take you to meet the two parties involved and let them reconstruct the incident for you?"
Who is Xiao Chifeng? He is a little bully in the capital who dares to fight even the prince. What's the big deal about spilling tea on two girls?
Everyone at the table watched intently, pretending they saw nothing. Even the two girls' families kept their heads down and said nothing.
Qin Yiyi and Yu Jing were so angry that they started sobbing and turned around to run away.
"Ji Yi and Ji Er, bring him back here. You scolded him and left without an apology. Is there any law in this world?"
After Xiao Chifeng made the announcement, Qin Yiyi and Yu Jing were actually dragged back by two guards by their collars.
Not only was her makeup smudged, her hair was askew, and she was dragged back in such a disgraceful manner in front of all the dignitaries in the capital. Qin Yiyi and Yu Jing were so embarrassed that they wished they could crawl into the ground.
The prince is hosting a banquet today, and all the prominent families in the capital are here. Many of them come to the banquet with the intention of getting married.
The two of them made such a disgraceful scene today that the man they had originally chosen must have broken up with them, and they also offended Prince Kangping because of this. Isn't this a disguised way of angering Princess Rongyang and the General's Mansion? Now, any family in the capital with a little power will have to think twice before wanting to marry them.
The two of them simultaneously began to regret why they listened to the second princess Xiao Fufeng and picked a fight with Chen Shuwei.
Chen Shuwei didn't expect that Xiao Chifeng would support him in such a big way. He watched Xiao Chifeng staring at Qin Yu and the others, asking them to apologize to him.
Shen Shuwei opened her lips, but Xiao Chifeng turned away as if he had eyes on the back of his head. "Sister Shuwei, please don't say anything to plead for these two people. This is what they deserve."
"And they've even brought up Shen Zhang's reputation. Isn't this just empty talk to smear your Shen family?"
"I will definitely make them both apologize today!"
Xiao Chifeng stiffened his neck, looking as if he would demand an apology from the two of them even if the emperor came.
Li Jue, who was sitting next to her and taking care of Chu Xinrou, was stunned when he heard the name "Sister Shuwei" and looked up at Shen Shuwei.
However, Shen Shuwei didn't even glance at him.
Chu Xinrou caught a glimpse of Xiao Chifeng's reaction, quietly clenched the handkerchief in her palm, and said quietly, "It was just a few jokes, sister, why did you make such a fuss and make everyone embarrassed?"
Hearing the voice, Shen Shuwei turned around and saw Chu Xinrou looking at him intently, asking him to come forward to protect the two people.
"Sister, go and persuade Prince Kangping. How could a quarrel between girls involve the Shen family? Besides, you are not hurt, right?"
Li Jue felt a little strange when he heard Chu Xinrou's words, but he still followed Chu Xinrou's words and said, "Sister Shuwei, Xinrou is right. Today is the Crown Prince's banquet, so it's not appropriate to make a big fuss. You haven't suffered any loss, so why not let it go."
Shen Shuwei sneered at the two of them, stood up with the cold tea in his hand, and splashed it on their faces.
Chu Xinrou screamed when the cold tea splashed on her. Li Jue wiped his face in anger and glared at Chen Shuwei, "What are you doing! Xinrou and I are teaching you how to handle this matter so that you don't anger His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Chen Shuwei put down his teacup and replied, "I was just joking with you two. How did the quarrel involve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Or are you two saying you can't afford to play?"
Li Jue's anger was stuck in his throat, and Chu Xinrou beside him had a pale face, covering her chest and frowning in pain.
"Xinrou! Xinrou, are you okay?"
"Shu Wei, you know she's fragile, why did you throw cold tea on her? Do you know she has a heart disease? You—"
Li Jue's angry question was interrupted by Xiao Chifeng, who turned around and noticed what was happening. He scratched his ear impatiently, "It's just a little water splashed on your face, and it was clean tea. Why are you so angry about it? Why bring someone out when you're so fragile?"
"When you wash your face at night, just let your family prepare for the funeral. Washing your face uses much more water than this. Or do you think you'll die if you touch water? Have you never washed your face in your life?"
The guests watching around couldn't help laughing when they heard what Xiao Chifeng said, and one after another burst out laughing.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so they don't know each other. That Miss Chu has a long criminal record, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is pretending. But the young master of the Li family who just came to the capital is a fool and actually believed it.
Li Jue's face turned pale and blue from choking. Seeing Chu Xinrou about to faint beside him, he didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly helped her go downstairs to change clothes.
"Miss Qin Er, Miss Yu Da, you two should apologize to Miss Chen as soon as possible. It's unbelievable that you slandered an innocent girl as a mistress." The guests started to make a fuss.
Qin Yiyi and Yu Jing's cheeks were flushed, and they closed their eyes tightly and lowered their heads.
"Prince Kangping has come out to clarify things for Miss Shen, so the two of you should stop being so stubborn. Be careful or you'll end up being carried away like that Miss Chu." This was shouted by a girl who disliked the two of them, her face full of gloating.
The two of them trembled, and under Xiao Chifeng's impatient urging, they quickly apologized and were about to leave.
"Stop! You were so loud when you were cursing just now, but now your voice is as soft as a mosquito's. Apologize again. When your voice is loud enough for everyone present to hear, then you can leave."
The two of them really wished they had a heart disease like Chu Xinrou and could faint. It was embarrassing enough to apologize in front of so many people. If they shouted so that everyone at the table could hear them, they would no longer be able to live as human beings and would not be able to go out to meet guests in the future.
Xiao Chifeng watched the two people sobbing and wiping tears again, frowning and said unhappily: "I just asked you to apologize, not to kill you two, who are you crying for?"
Shen Shuwei, who was scolded by the two of them, had not yet started crying, but the two of them started crying first.
Chen Shuwei saw that the two men had lost all face, and she didn't care about these two apologies without any sincerity. She was about to persuade Xiao Chifeng, but a sharp female voice spoke faster than hers.
"Miss Shen is truly capable. You've seduced the Duke of Kangping into a rage for his beloved. Just because of you, he humiliated two young ladies."
Chen Shuwei looked up and saw that it was Xiao Fufeng who had accompanied the prince to the table. He was staring at him and Xiao Chifeng with a forced smile.
