Feng Beichuan always wore a contemptuous smile.
After regaining his footing, he once again opened his folding fan and casually waved it in front of his face.
The strands of hair on his forehead were slightly lifted, and Ye Lingxiao looked at the person in front of him and felt that he was unfathomable.
But the next second, his intense competitive spirit, before he could even think, prompted him to extend his fist again.
Feng Beichuan was about to dodge when he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye. A subtle smile immediately appeared on his lips, and a cunning glint flashed in his eyes.
He quickly put away his fan and ran towards the figure in two strides.
"I told you to talk things out, why are you being so rude?"
At this moment, Feng Beichuan had already grabbed Li Chang'an's arm and hid behind her, readily coming up with a misunderstanding-inducing excuse.
Li Chang'an was somewhat confused. She had only seen Ye Lingxiao throw a punch at Feng Beichuan, and after hearing Feng Beichuan's words, she felt that Ye Lingxiao wanted to fight Feng Beichuan after she left.
Although this was not the case, it all seemed so logical to Li Chang'an.
"You...you actually hid behind a woman, how shameless!"
Seeing Feng Beichuan's smug and arrogant demeanor, Lingxiao was so angry that his face turned green. He didn't realize that he had fallen into the other party's trap.
"If I don't dodge, do you expect me to come and beat me up?"
Feng Beichuan looked at Ye Lingxiao with a righteous air, deliberately emphasizing the words "beat me up," and secretly squeezed Li Chang'an's arm.
Li Chang'an frowned and looked coldly at Ye Lingxiao, who was now somewhat at a loss.
Don't you think your behavior is ridiculous?
After saying that, he let out a long breath, trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
She thought she had only come back to see Chang Sheng, but her mood had been completely ruined.
"Chang An, I..."
Ye Lingxiao was speechless and didn't know what to say in his defense, even though he felt wronged and aggrieved.
Meanwhile, Feng Beichuan, standing to the side, wore a victorious smile.
He cleared his throat deliberately and said in a serious tone, "That's right, Chang An has already warned you, and you still dare to lay a hand on me!"
In this way, Feng Beichuan put himself in the role of a victim.
After saying that, he glanced at Li Chang'an, who was standing to the side with a stern face and remained silent, and felt even more smug.
Ling Xiao then realized that he seemed to have fallen into a huge pit dug by Feng Beichuan himself.
Indeed, Feng Beichuan's purpose was clear: he wanted to deliberately provoke Ye Lingxiao and then deliberately lead Li Chang'an to believe that Ye Lingxiao had struck first and that he himself was innocent.
"It takes two to tango. What kind of good person do you think you are?"
But to everyone's surprise, the woman suddenly looked coldly at Feng Beichuan, her words uttered without any mercy.
After saying that, she forcefully shook off Feng Beichuan's arm, and then used her other hand to pat off non-existent dust from her sleeve.
Hearing these words, Feng Beichuan wanted to bang his head against a wall on the spot. He never expected that all his efforts would be in vain.
In fact, if it were anyone else, they probably would have believed it long ago. It's just a pity that Li Chang'an knew Feng Beichuan's character too well, which is why she wasn't easily swayed by her judgment.
Ling Xiao felt much relieved, realizing that there was indeed a saying that "there are gods watching from above."
"You can't wrong me, Chang'an! He was the one who started it, how can you say it takes two to tango? Besides, don't you know me? I've always listened to you!"
Seeing that his scheme had failed, Feng Beichuan was somewhat unwilling. He put on an innocent look and tried his best to explain, hoping to overturn the situation.
These words not only expressed her own feelings, but also subtly implied to Li Chang'an that Ye Lingxiao had ignored her words.
"You're spouting nonsense! If you hadn't provoked me first..."
"The Regent is right. I saw it myself just now. He was the one who struck first!"
Ye Lingxiao had only finished speaking when a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
At this moment, Li Changsheng walked towards the three of them, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
Feng Beichuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the child, wondering what this little devil was up to.
Regardless of the circumstances, what he just said was undoubtedly in his favor, so Feng Beichuan decided to remain silent and wait.
"I can't believe you're such a grown woman, yet you still lie? How shameful..."
After walking over, Li Changsheng began to accuse Ye Lingxiao in a serious manner, while making a face-covering gesture as he spoke.
Ye Lingxiao was completely baffled by the child's actions. He couldn't understand what lie he had told, or why even a child was criticizing him.
"You...you two, did you conspire together?"
Ye Lingxiao's face flushed red. He first pointed at Li Changsheng, but ultimately failed to vent his anger. He then turned to Feng Beichuan and questioned him with a face full of rage.
But Feng Beichuan simply spread his hands and shrugged, pretending that he knew nothing.
"Alright, alright, big brother, stop making excuses. As the saying goes, it is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Although you have done something wrong, as long as you apologize to the Regent, someone as magnanimous as him will surely forgive you."
Li Changsheng tilted his head and put his hands behind his back, acting like a little adult as he lectured Ye Lingxiao.
At this moment, a strange light flashed in Feng Beichuan's eyes.
Sure, this kid is actually helping me in a roundabout way!
"Chang An, let me explain..."
Now, Ye Lingxiao felt that he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River, but he still couldn't bear to suffer this injustice for nothing, so he hoped that Li Chang'an could speak a fair word.
Li Chang'an watched these people with some confusion, wondering what kind of show they were putting on.
What's comforting is that Li Changsheng actually speaks quite eloquently when it comes to grand principles, which makes Li Chang'an realize that his younger brother isn't as ignorant as he seems.
"What are you trying to explain? Are you trying to tell me that you're always talking nonsense?"
Li Chang'an looked at Ye Lingxiao again, raised an eyebrow, and asked in return, his face full of displeasure.
She suddenly felt that she understood this person less and less; she clearly remembered that Ye Lingxiao was not like this before.
It is obvious that Li Chang'an has chosen to believe Li Changsheng this time.
After hearing her words, Ye Lingxiao was speechless, and his whole body deflated like a punctured balloon.
"Oh dear, why don't you just apologize to the Regent and that'll be the end of it? Why be so stubborn?"
Li Changsheng stood aside, talking without a care in the world, and casually added more firewood to the fire.
