Looking at that face, Yuan Yao gasped.
Good heavens!
These little brats are really ruthless!
Well done!
Bai Wantao's head was shaved bald, and her head and face were covered with drawings.
On its head, there was a huge turtle.
Moreover, a cross was drawn on her face with ink.
The four sections each depict a different scene.
A chick pecking at insects, a grasshopper lying on its back, a giant centipede with many legs, an adorable cat's head...
It was obvious that four people were involved.
Moreover, since they were probably painted around the same time, each painting has a different orientation.
Bai Wantao's pretty and delicate face has become gaudy and colorful.
She cried and said angrily, "Huaiyao, I already apologized the day before yesterday, why did you still shave my hair?"
Are you trying to drive me to my death before you're satisfied?
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huaiyao gripped the whip tightly, furious. "Bai Wantao, you've always had a bad temper. Who knows who you've offended?"
Why are you blaming everything on me? Do you think I, this princess, am easy to slander?
"If it wasn't you, who else could it be?" Bai Wantao wiped away her tears and cried, "You might as well just kill me!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Huaiyao couldn't help but swear. "If you want to die, this princess won't stop you, but don't try to throw all sorts of dirty water on me!"
Looking at Bai Wantao sobbing, Huaiyao was furious.
The initial thrill of revenge had vanished completely.
She truly regretted not using a knife to draw on Bai Wantao's face last night...
Seeing that Huaiyao's eyes were gradually reddening, Huairou quickly grabbed her: "Huaiyao."
"Royal sister..."
Huaiyao looked at Huairou, feeling both angry and aggrieved.
Huairou patted her hand reassuringly: "Don't be angry. If you don't want to talk, then don't say anything."
"Not going to talk?" Bai Wantao pressed, "Huaiyao, are you feeling guilty? Are you admitting it?"
"Who said she's guilty?" a sweet, childlike voice came from the side.
Bai Wantao turned her head to the side.
Yuan Yao looked at her: "Miss Bai, is that right?"
Bai Wantao wiped away her tears and looked at her: "Princess Yuanyao, your father is the Ninth Prince, and you are biased towards Huaiyao. Are you going to help her criticize me as well?"
Did you also participate in what happened last night?
Bai Fengyuan gave a light rebuke: "Wan Tao! Don't be rude!"
He invited Yuan Yao over today only to ask her questions, not to reprimand her...
He came here secretly; if the Ninth Prince finds out, what will happen?
"Father!" Bai Wantao cried, "The day before yesterday, when Huaiyao and I were arguing in the Lotus Garden, only Princess Huairou and Princess Yuanyao were there!"
After we left, Prince Yunchan of Chu came out!
My daughter had been growing her hair for eleven years, and it was all shaved off overnight. A turtle was drawn on the top of her head, and her face was ruined; the stains couldn't be washed off...
Who else but the four of them could have done this?
Yuan Yao: "..."
That's a pretty accurate guess.
There were indeed four people who went to the Marquis of Changdu's residence.
Unfortunately, she and Yun Chan were not there.
Besides, how could she possibly admit it?
Yuan Yao opened her eyes wide, her gaze appearing particularly innocent: "What if you did it yourself?"
"What did you say?"
Bai Wantao stared at the little boy, so surprised that she forgot to cry.
Yuan Yao's eyes were clear, and her expression was innocent.
She glanced around at the people in the room, her childish voice quite self-righteous: "Miss Bai, quite a few people know about the time you staged and acted out the scene where you fell into the lotus pond and slandered Huaiyao."
Unfortunately, you failed back then.
Who knows, did you deliberately shave your head and draw your face to slander the four of us?
After all, you have a precedent for this kind of thing!
Upon hearing this, Bai Wantao's mouth dropped open in utter astonishment.
She shaved her head to slander someone?
After the initial shock, Bai Wantao completely broke down: "Waaah... Dad, please help me get justice!"
Hearing Bai Wantao cry, Gu Yucha, who had been silent all along, also began to cry softly.
"Yu Cha." Gu Bowen turned around and looked at his daughter.
Gu Yucha wrapped her cloak tighter around herself, and the face mask on her face was already soaked.
The soaked face towel became almost transparent.
As the cloak moved, the painting on Gu Yucha's face became incredibly vivid.
Xie Zhi took a sip of water and, in front of everyone, asked curiously, "May I ask, who is this gentleman?"
Gu Yucha: "..."
Her sobs became noticeably louder.
Gu Bowen glanced at Xie Zhi, coughed lightly, and then said, "Yu Cha, why aren't you bowing to the princes?"
"Yu Cha... greets Your Highnesses." Gu Yu Cha's slightly hoarse voice came from behind her face mask.
Gu Bowen glanced at his daughter, sighed, and continued, "Yu Cha, take off your cloak and remove your face mask."
"yes……"
Gu Yucha raised her hand; her thin hand was taut with anger, revealing blue veins.
She slowly lifted her cloak and took out a face mask.
"ah?"
Xie Zhi's exaggerated voice rang out in the quiet tea room.
Upon seeing Gu Yucha's appearance, everyone except Gu Bowen was stunned for a long time.
Even Bai Wantao was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
She felt that she was already in a terrible situation.
But it wasn't until she met Gu Yucha that she realized what true misery was.
Gu Yucha's face is absolutely terrifying!
His head was shaved completely, without a single stubble. Two strands of hair remained at his temples, and his eyebrows were also shaved off...
On her head, there was a lifelike turtle painted on the top, and on the side where her eyebrows had been shaved off, there was a huge cup of tea painted on the top.
There were also many strokes drawn on the tip of the nose and the face...
What's most terrifying is her hair and eyebrows!
Bai Wantao felt much better and spoke through her tears, "Princess..."
Gu Yucha lifted her eyelids and gave her a chilling look.
That one glance sent chills down Bai Wantao's spine, and she flinched.
Yuan Yao saw everything the two of them did and looked at.
At this moment, Gu Yucha's cold gaze fell on Yuan Yao's face.
As soon as Yuan Yao met her gaze, she was pulled back.
Yun Chan stepped forward, blocking her way, her brows furrowed, her eyes icy, and she coldly looked at Gu Yucha.
When she met his gaze, Gu Yucha shivered.
“Yu Cha,” Gu Bowen said, “when you were in the manor, you said that you knew who the murderer was who shaved your hair.”
"Your father has already brought you to the National Academy. Tell me, who did you offend at the banquet that day?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yucha wiped away her tears, raised her head, and glanced around the tea room, her gaze lingering on Yuan Yao and Yun Chan.
"Smack!"
The sound of the whip striking the ground was exceptionally loud.
Huaiyao angrily said, "Princess Gu, you'd better think carefully before you slander me!"
Gu Yucha took a deep breath, raised her hand, and pointed at Yuan Yao... Yun Chan, who was blocking her way: "It's him! It's the young prince of Chu!"
That day, I wore the same hairstyle as Princess Yuan Yao!
It was him! He must have shaved Princess Yuan Yao's head...
"presumptuous!"
A cold voice came from the outer room of the teahouse: "Bare-tongued slander, you wantonly defame the prince of a neighboring country. Do you intend to incite war between our two nations and plunge our people into misery?"
Nine thousand years old!
The Nine Thousand Years Old has arrived!
The Bai family father and daughter, and the Gu family father and daughter, turned deathly pale.
Yuan Yao exclaimed joyfully, "Father!"
