Chu Huan was talking to Prince Hui in the front hall when he saw a beautiful girl running into the hall in a panic, asking the Princess of Hui to seek justice. The Princess of Hui was a kind person, so she smiled gently and let the girl tell the story.

The girl sobbed and said, "Our two maids were new to the palace, so they went out to play. Not long after, one of the maids came to tell us that the other one was captured by the concubine of the Chu family and was taken to an unknown place.

My sister got up to look for her, but I lost her. I was afraid that something might have happened to them, so I came to ask for help from Prince Hui's wife." Tears welled up in the girl's eyes as she spoke, "Although we are merchants' daughters, we... we cannot be bullied like this..."

Chu Huan, who was standing aside, heard those words and his face changed slightly. He then stood up and said to Prince Hui and Princess Hui, "Don't bother you with such a small matter. I will take responsibility for any trouble caused by my concubine, and I will give you an explanation."

He walked forward with the girl and found that there was a group of people blocking the way ahead. It was extremely noisy.

A group of people followed and ran to the servants' room, only to see a door wide open. Chu Huan walked in front of everyone and said, "My concubine made a joke. Please give me some face and let me handle it first."

Chu Huan was very prestigious among the sons of the noble families. Seeing him asking like this, everyone stopped and waited for Chu Huan to go first. As soon as

Chu Huan walked into the woodshed, he felt his eyes light up. The woman's facial features seemed to have been carefully carved by God for a year. She chose the cleanest gemstone in the world as her eyes and the most delicate white jade as her skin.

The bright red palm print on her left face formed a very sharp contrast with her fair skin, like a gorgeous morning glow, like a red plum blossom on the snow, which made her even more gorgeous and charming. The corners of the woman's eyes were red, and her eyes looked at him directly and sharply. The charm that could not be hidden was overwhelming.

Chu Huan felt his heart skip a beat and was stunned for a moment.

When Liu Ruyan saw the young man standing at the door, she trembled all over and stood up trembling slightly: "Husband..."

Chu Huan came back to his senses and glanced at her coldly without any friendship.

Liu Ruyan was also born beautiful, but compared to her, she was worse... too much worse.

Whether it was facial features or temperament, there was a world of difference.

At this time, many people had blocked the door, all talking. Chu Huan felt his face flushed. From childhood to adulthood, he had never had such an embarrassing moment, all because of the stupid man in front of him.

The people outside only saw a slender woman with a graceful figure, like a demon or a fairy, so beautiful that nothing can compare to her. They started to talk about it.

"This concubine of the Chu family is really

too much!" "Yes, look at the marks on the girl's face, how cruel she was!"

"She must be jealous of others' beauty!"

Yao Kang's eyes lit up and he looked at Gao Mingxuan: "This Jiang family is really outrageous."

Gao Mingxuan just looked at the woman in the woodshed and couldn't come back to his senses.

Chu Huan bowed and said in a clear voice: "May I ask the girl's name?"

"How dare you ask my name?"

Xiao Tuo sneered, turned around and looked at Chu Huan, "You, my little concubine, are so arrogant and domineering. You took advantage of your position to beat up someone else's maid on the princess' birthday. When the master of the other family came to look for her, you beat her without saying a word."

Xiao Tuo hid Jiang Yuanyi behind him, and looked at Chu Huan sharply, "Is this the way you teach people from the Chu family?!"

Chu Huan's eyes darkened, and the smile on his face stiffened a little. He said more earnestly, "I am busy with the affairs of the court on weekdays, and I neglect to discipline my concubines at home, which has caused... I am really sorry for the situation today. I want to ask you, young lady, how can I make you feel better? I will do everything for you. "

Liu Ruyan couldn't believe it, tears in her eyes: "Husband..."

Chu Huan looked at her with disgust and said angrily: "When I married you, I saw that you were pitiful and bullied by your father and brother. You promised me to abide by the wife's code and be dignified and polite. I believed you and didn't ask you too much. Recently, I have been busy with official duties and have not taken care of you. Are you using the name of my Chu family to act like this outside? ! "

His voice was warm and powerful, and his words were sincere. Everyone outside sighed:

"Mr. Chu has always been gentle and polite to others. This concubine is really not worthy of Mr. Chu! "

"Yes, Master Chu is the most talented and pretty person in the capital. At that time, he took the poor girl from the Liu family as his concubine. But she didn't learn any of Master Chu's conduct after joining the Prime Minister's Mansion. Instead, she only bullied others by taking advantage of her power? ! "

"In my opinion, Master Chu should get rid of her, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Jiang Yuanyi stood behind Xiao Tuo, watching Chu Huan bow his hands and bow slightly, his eyes clear and earnest.

At this time, he was also thinking about preserving his reputation. I have a high moral character and am untainted by the dust. The arrogance and bad behavior of my concubine in the mansion have nothing to do with me.

When he said this, everyone believed it, just like Jiang Yuanyi in the previous life.

Liu Ruyan looked at Chu Huan with an expression that was even colder and more disgusted than that day. Liu Ruyan felt a chill all over her body. She crawled over and grabbed Chu Huan's calf tightly: "Husband... I was wrong..."

Xiao Tuo had already blocked Jiang Yuanyi tightly, looked at Liu Ruyan and said coldly: "Kneel down and apologize to this girl."

Chu Huan still had an apologetic smile on his face, his eyes were clear and sincere, and asked: "What do you think, girl?"

Xiao Tuo saw Chu Huan The smiling Buddha looked annoyed and said impatiently: "Kneel down and apologize first, then ask the lady what you mean."

Chu Huan squatted down and helped Liu Ruyan up: "You should pay the price for your wrongdoing, apologize."

Liu Ruyan shook her head with tears in her eyes. There were people all around her, how could she kneel down and kowtow to a lowly merchant's daughter...

Chu Huan lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes were cold, but his voice was still gentle and sincere: "Ruyan, apologize."

Liu Ruyan Feeling extremely humiliated, she waved Chu Huan's hand away and stood up: "Don't even think about it! I will never! I will never kneel down to a lowly merchant girl!"

A stern female voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Lowly merchant girl?"

Jiang walked into the woodshed with the help of Jiang Xirong, her brows full of anger. She walked to the front with steady steps, then turned and looked at Liu Ruyan: "Today, if you don't kowtow to my daughter and apologize, I will... Don't bother with this old face, let the Princess of Hui come to preside over justice in person! ”

Chu Huan's face changed slightly, and he took two steps forward to bow to Jiang: "Madam. The concubine in the family is reckless and domineering. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. There is no need to bother the Princess of Hui."

Jiang snorted coldly, gently took Jiang Yuanyi's hand and put it in her own hand, and said coldly: "Then please give your attitude, Lord Chu."

Chu Huan turned and looked at Liu Ruyan: "Ruyan, apologize."

His eyes were cold, stabbing like a knife in a place where only Liu Ruyan could see.

The eyes of everyone around her were all looking at her, with undisguised ridicule and disgust. Liu Ruyan felt that she was being oppressed and couldn't breathe. She raised her eyes to look at Chu Huan and shook her head: "I don't want to... I don't want to..."

Chu Huan whispered in her ear: "If you don't kneel, I will sell you out."

Liu Ruyan's lips trembled, and she felt that the breath he exhaled was icy, so cold that it chilled her spine.

She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Huan in disbelief, but saw that he had returned to the appearance of a handsome gentleman, and the viciousness that flashed by just now seemed to have never appeared on that gentle face.

Liu Ruyan turned around and looked at Jiang Yuanyi standing quietly with an indifferent expression.

She is just a lowly merchant's daughter... On what basis...

She dragged her feet to Jiang Yuanyi, knelt down with a thud, knocked her head hard on the ground, then raised her head and looked at Jiang Yuanyi, staring at her like a venomous snake: "Is that all?"

Jiang Yuanyi just said lightly: "Miss Liu, please stop bullying others in the future." Liu

Ruyan sneered, her expression still domineering.

Jiang Yuanyi looked at her, took a step forward, leaned close to her ear, and exhaled like orchid: "Next time, it will not be as simple as a kowtow."

Liu Ruyan turned her face and met a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, which were looking at her at this time, and the hatred and indifference in the eyes turned into a sharp weapon to attack her.

She couldn't help but feel a little scared, but she quickly recovered and walked to Chu Huan with an arrogant expression.

Like a peacock with its feathers plucked, it walked proudly with its blood flowing out.

Chu Huan walked up to Jiang Yuanyi and said sincerely: "Miss, you can tell me any request you have, and I will definitely satisfy it."

He had a beautiful and clean appearance. Jiang Yuanyi looked at him and wanted to tear his hypocritical appearance apart.

Jiang Yuanyi didn't want to say a word to him. She turned to look at her mother: "Mother, the birthday banquet should start." Jiang

looked at the bright red marks on Jiang Yuanyi's face, and her eyes were wet with heartache. She patted her daughter's hand lightly: "Okay, I'll take you to apply a facial mask first." She

remembered something and looked at Xiao Tuo again: "Thank you, Master."

Xiao Tuo was flattered and said hurriedly: "Madam Jiang, you don't have to thank me."

Jiang held Jiang Yuanyi in her arms and walked out of the crowd.

The maid of the palace brought some ice cubes. Jiang sat in the side hall and put them on Jiang Yuanyi's face. She said angrily, "She slapped you, why didn't you hit her back? You just let her hit you?"

Jiang Yuanyi was worried about Xiaoqing's injury and asked, "How is Xiaoqing?"

Jiang said, "I sent her to the hospital. The doctor said it was just a flesh wound and it's not a big deal."

Jiang Yuanyi was relieved and looked at the ground beside her in a daze.

When she knew Xiaoqing was in trouble, she wanted to ask the Princess of Hui for help or Xiao Tuo for help. But if she asked the Princess of Hui for help, it would be a loss. After all, today was the Princess' birthday, and the Jiang family and the Princess were not very close.

And it would be inappropriate for a girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage to go to Xiao Tuo in public.

She could only run out in panic. If Xiao Tuo saw her, he would definitely follow her out.

Let Xiaoyue go and call for more people to come quickly. If the matter gets out of hand, it will damage Chu Huan's reputation, and Liu Ruyan will definitely be disliked by him.

For Liu Ruyan, nothing can make her more painful than this.

Today's goal has been achieved. After returning to the mansion, Liu Ruyan will never be able to live as carefree as before. Chu Huan can tolerate her stupidity, but he cannot tolerate her stupidity endangering his own interests.

Jiang looked at Jiang Yuanyi's absent-minded look, thinking that the Chu family's concubine had frightened her today, so she sat down hurriedly and asked softly: "Yier, don't be afraid, even if she is from the Chu family, the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes. If she dares to provoke you again, mother will not let her return to the Chu Mansion."

Jiang was arrogant and domineering when she was young, but she didn't know how she raised her two daughters to be so weak.

When Jiang thought of Liu Ruyan's refusal to admit her mistakes and her unreasonable look just now, she slammed the table in anger: "I have to go back and assign you a few guards with strong martial arts skills to follow you at all times!"

Jiang Yuanyi smiled, thinking of what Xiao Tuo said not long ago, and this was considered a closure.
