He hadn't even taken two sips of the hot tea, the teacup was still about 70% full, and the boiling hot tea was poured directly on Lu Fangrui's face.

The next moment, a shrill scream suddenly rang out, as if it was going to blow the roof off. At the same time, Lu Xianjing also screamed "Ah".

Lu Fangrui subconsciously let go of Jingle's wrist and covered his face with one hand.

The right half of his face was scalded red by the hot tea, and it was visibly swollen. His hair was also soaked by the tea, and tea leaves stood between his hair. The tea and tea leaves flowed down his wet hair, dripping, dripping...

The others were almost dumbfounded when they saw this scene, as if their whole bodies were frozen and they couldn't react.

Even though Lu Fangrui was screaming hysterically, Jingle didn't even look at him. She bent down to pick up the cat-shaped silver ingot that had fallen on the ground, then took out a frosty white handkerchief and wiped the silver ingot carefully.

After making sure that the silver ingot was intact, Jingle breathed a sigh of relief and held it carefully in his palm, his eyes sparkling.

She had just received the silver ingot given to her by the Ninth Emperor's wife, and it wasn't even warm yet.

Jingle's eyes were red, like a weak and helpless little white rabbit. Her long, pure white fur was still trembling slightly, and she looked pitiful, as if the person who had just angrily spilled the tea was not her.

Everyone was shocked and stunned. Even the senior palace maid couldn't help but secretly pinch her thigh, and then she was sure that what had just happened was real.

The first person to come to his senses was Lu Fangrui.

However, in just a few moments, his right face had become red and swollen, especially his right eyelid, which was swollen and drooped. He was no longer as handsome as before, but looked as hideous as a devil.

The burning pain on the right side of his cheek made Lu Fangrui's facial features distorted with discomfort, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.

"Jingle, are you crazy? How dare you confront my opponent!" Lu Fangrui strode forward, furious and raised his hand to swing at Jingle who was sitting on the chair...

At this moment, Lu Fangrui was already controlled by the furious beast in his heart. He just wanted to completely trample Jingle under his feet to vent his anger.

However--

He had just swung his hand a little when his wrist was grabbed by someone.

The hand that held him was a thin but strong one.

Those slender joints and knuckles obviously belonged to a woman.

The person who stood in front of Jingle and restrained Lu Fangrui was indeed a woman. The surroundings were silent, and everyone was staring blankly at Lu Fangrui, Jingle and Jiang Yuan who suddenly appeared.

"Let me go!" Lu Fangrui looked up and down at the plain-looking maid in blue in front of him. He felt a piercing pain on his wrist that went straight to his bone marrow.

Lu Fangrui struggled hard, but the other party's hands held him like an iron clamp. His strength was so small compared to a little maid who was only as tall as his shoulders.

Lu Fangrui's face was almost the color of liver from the burns. Qi Anling frowned her beautiful crescent eyebrows, and a trace of panic and distress appeared on her elegant face. While comforting Lu Fangrui, she persuaded Jingle: "Sister, I know you are angry, but you also... Hey, sister, let her let me go!"

Lu Xianjing also reacted after hearing this and shouted, “Jingle, are you crazy?!”

Lu Xianjing was so angry that she lost her mind. She didn't even call her third sister-in-law, but directly called out Jingle's nickname, her voice almost breaking.

"Who's crazy?" A clear and cold female voice came from behind.

Chu Qianchen lifted the door curtain himself and walked over from behind. His brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which startled the head palace maid.

The head palace maid had only seen Chu Qianchen being gentle and sweet, and had never seen her get angry.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Fangrui's shrill scream rang out again, as if answering Chu Qianchen's question.

He is the crazy one! Jiang Yuan increased the strength of his hands expressionlessly.

She was not very tall, but she stood there like a mountain, as if nothing could shake her.

Seeing Chu Qianchen coming, Jingle didn't feel relieved. Instead, she looked a little timid and her eyes were filled with tears.

If the Ninth Emperor's wife saw her throwing tea at Lu Fangrui, would she think she was a shrew and stop liking her? Jingle lowered her eyes nervously.

Lu Fangrui and Qi Anling saw Chu Qianchen for the first time and did not recognize her, but Lu Xianjing recognized her and her expression stiffened slightly.

She revealed Chu Qianchen's identity before Lu Fangrui did: "Ninth Madam."

She nodded to Chu Qianchen, neither panicked nor afraid, and said confidently: "This is a matter between my brother and sister-in-law. It's not good for an outsider like you to interfere, Madam Nine, isn't it?"

"Madam Nine should stop interfering."

From the "Ninth Madam" that Lu Xianjing repeatedly emphasized, Lu Fangrui also vaguely guessed Chu Qianchen's identity and looked at her with doubtful eyes. Is this the Princess of Chen? !

Lu Xianjing suffered a loss at Wanqing Restaurant last time, so she did not confront Chu Qianchen head-on.

She walked quickly to Jingle's side, gently patted Jingle's trembling shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, is this true?"

"You are the wife of the Lu family, so you should apologize to the third brother immediately. Otherwise, don't be the wife of our Lu family anymore."

Lu Xianjing was smiling, but the smile did not reach her eyes, which only contained cold intimidation and disgust.

Lu Fangrui interrupted, "Jingle, you are so unfaithful to your husband that you dare to attack him! If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will never end!"

He glanced at Chu Qianchen from head to toe. He heard that Princess Chen was a concubine's daughter. She was indeed undisciplined, unlike his Ling'er! Lu Fangrui pointedly said to Jingle, "You, I think you have learned bad things from others outside these few days!"

He spoke with a self-righteous arrogance, but he didn't realize that with his red and swollen face, he looked like a clown who was not worthy of being in a formal setting.

Chu Qianchen didn't say anything, but just stared at Jingle quietly from a few steps away.

Jingle: “…”

Jingle's eyelashes trembled and she slowly stood up from the chair.

Lu Xianjing took back the hand that was on Jingle's shoulder, and a hint of mockery appeared on her face. What kind of trouble could Jingle possibly make with Third Brother? !

Jingle stood up and slowly turned to Lu Fangrui. Qi Anling was considerately wiping the wet tea leaves from Lu Fangrui's hair with a handkerchief, her face full of heartache.

Jingle took half a step forward, raised his right hand, and slapped Lu Fangrui hard.

“Bang!”

After the crisp slapping sound, a red palm print appeared on Lu Fangrui's originally intact left face.

Lu Fangrui's right hand was being restrained by Jiang Yuan, and Jingle's slap caught him off guard, causing Lu Fangrui's burned right face to hit Qi Anling's hand.

This slap made Lu Fangrui gasp for air, the pain was so excruciating that even Lu Xianjing felt sorry for her third brother and cried out, "Third brother!"

Jingle used almost all her strength in this slap.

After the fight, she seemed to have run for a long distance, breathing heavily and her chest was slightly rising and falling.

She looked at Lu Fangrui with hatred in her eyes. What right did he have to say that she had "learned bad things" from the Ninth Emperor's Wife? She was weak and useless, but the Ninth Emperor's Wife was different!

Jingle's eyes were wet, angry and annoyed, like a young animal whose tail was stepped on.

Her maid was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She couldn't help but pinch her thigh through her skirt again. This time she pinched harder than the last time, and she almost cried out in pain.

However, when Jiang Yuan let go of Lu Fangrui, he gave Jingle a look that said "this kid is still teachable" and took two steps back.

Chu Qianchen was also a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked into Jingle's eyes and asked, "Are you happy?"

Jingle was stunned for a moment, with a confused look on her face.

Whether she had just thrown tea at Lu Fangrui or slapped him, it was all on impulse. Now, even if Chu Qianchen put another cup of tea in her hand, she would not dare to throw it out.

Is she happy?! She asked herself, thinking about this question seriously.

Clearly, when she saw Lu Fangrui and heard his voice just now, her whole body trembled unconsciously and her legs were cold and stiff, but now she was not shaking anymore and she could stand here calmly.

She was very happy, and that kind of happiness was like venting out all the depression that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

She nodded vigorously and said, "Happy."

The voice was still soft and gentle.

But after she did two "big things" in a row, even the guy next to her looked at her with an indescribable strange look.

Chu Qianchen curled his lips and smiled, and the smile couldn't stop flowing from his eyes. The whole person was like a blooming spring flower, pure and bright.

She just stood there quietly, but Jingle felt as if she was brighter than the rosy clouds in the sky.

Jingle laughed too.

Her smile was no longer as gentle as before, but carried a hint of restraint and timidity. Now it was bright, brilliant, and full of longing.

Chu Qianchen waved his hand casually and ordered Jiang Yuan, "Throw him out and beat him up."

Finally, she added very considerately: "Don't do it in the store, so as not to affect the store's business."

All three of them were horrified.

Not only were they shocked that Yu Jingle dared to resist and attack, but they were even more shocked that Chu Qianchen obviously knew their identities and dared to blatantly order his servants to attack them.

Lu Fangrui is the prince consort! Lu Fangrui and Lu Xianjing are the cousins ​​of the queen.

Lu Xianjing looked as if someone had stripped her clothes in public, showing a look of humiliation and shock, and blurted out: "You dare?!"

Her pretty face instantly turned red, as if someone had painted her with cinnabar.

Chu Qianchen was too lazy to talk to Lu Xianjing, and Jiang Yuan didn't need Chu Qianchen to give any more instructions. He responded with a smile and bowed solemnly.

This action was performed by her in an exceptionally neat and graceful manner, with a bit of boldness, a bit of nonchalance that showed she didn't take the Lu family seriously, and almost naked contempt.

Lu Fangrui had just suffered at the hands of Jiang Yuan. When he saw her approaching, he subconsciously wanted to retreat, and shouted in a weak voice: "How dare you!"

Jiang Yuan answered her question with his action as to whether she dared to be so presumptuous or not. He attacked like a poisonous snake, grabbed Lu Fangrui's arm and dragged him out.

Lu Xianjing exclaimed nervously: “Third brother!”

Lu Xianjing and Qi Anling watched Lu Anrui being dragged downstairs by the maid, and they were both anxious. They hurriedly chased after him, one shouting "Third Brother" and the other shouting "Master".

After Lu Xianjing went down one step of the stairs, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Jingle and Chu Qianchen angrily, saying, "I will definitely tell my cousin!" She had to wait for Jingle and Chu Qianchen to kneel down in front of the queen and admit their mistakes! However, Chu Qianchen had lived for two lifetimes and had no idea how many times he had been told such cruel words.

Just for the rebellion, she had been scolded by so many people! If she was afraid of this, she would have no point in living.

Chu Qianchen ignored the mess on the ground, took Jingle's hand and sat down again, smiling and said, "Come on, Jingle, let's continue picking hairpins."

Jingle stared at Chu Qianchen's smiling face in a daze. It was obvious that she didn't care about Lu Xianjing's threat at all.

At this moment, Jingle only had Chu Qianchen in her eyes. She could not hear the "dengdengdeng" sound of people coming down the stairs or the angry shouts of Lu Fangrui and the others.

After a moment, Jingle blinked slowly and came back to her senses.

She subconsciously placed her hand on her chest.

Every time she faced the Lu family in the past, she always felt a heavy, uncontrollable sense of suffocation in her heart, an indescribable discomfort.

But now, she no longer had that feeling. She felt as if all the meridians in her body were opened up. She felt very comfortable, extremely comfortable.

Chu Qianchen looked at the jewelry placed in front of Jingle, picked some at random, picked up a pearl headband and compared it to Jingle. The pearls on the headband were only the size of lotus seeds and very delicate.

"This headband is nice." She said as she helped Jingle put it on and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's take this one."

Jingle touched the pearl headband, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and nodded.

Chu Qianchen also helped her comb her hair and said meaningfully: "You are the daughter of the Gu family. Take what you like and throw away what you don't like. People only live for a short period of time. What is there to hesitate and entangle?"

Chu Qianchen was talking about the headband, but everyone present knew that she was referring to Lu Fangrui.

“……” Jingle opened her eyes slightly wide, thinking about what had just happened, and couldn’t help but be touched.

Yes, things are actually very simple. If you like it, keep it. If you don’t like it, throw it away.

She couldn't help but look in the direction of the stairs, but there was no one there. Only the tingling sensation on her palms reminded her that what had just happened was not a dream, but something that really happened.

The refreshing feeling I felt when I just slapped you is still lingering in my heart.

Chu Qianchen asked again: "Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Yes!" Jingle blurted out without thinking.

The aunt and sister-in-law got up and left Amber to pay the bill.

The waiter was a beat late, then he slowly remembered to see the guests off, and he called out, "Ladies, please take care. I'll see you off."

When he sent the person to the gate, the waiter saw Lu Fangrui being stepped on the ground by Jiang Yuan. His expression became more complicated, and he even forgot what he was going to say.

On the street outside Duobaozhai, there were already a lot of passers-by who came to watch the fun. They were gathered in three layers inside and three layers outside, all pointing and talking at Lu Fangrui and Jiang Yuan.

Some people were wondering how these grown men could not beat a woman; some were curious and asked what was going on; some were asking if they should report to the police; some were pointing fingers at Lu Fangrui, saying that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and that it must be his fault, so the girl could not stand it anymore and took action...

Noisy and bustling discussions were heard one after another.

Lu Xianjing stood aside, her face pale and extremely ugly. She almost shrank behind Qi Anling and couldn't utter a word.

"Let go...ah!" Lu Fangrui, who was lying on the ground, struggled to get up, but Jiang Yuan exerted a little force with his feet and he could not move, and he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Not only Lu Fangrui fell to the ground, but also two servants of the Lu family. They all fell on their backs and wailed.

Jingle looked at the dusty Lu Fangrui, and held Chu Qianchen's arm again, feeling even happier.

Under the warm winter sun, her eyes became brighter and brighter.

She had never thought that the man she once feared was actually not worth mentioning, and that she could live so happily.

In contrast, Chu Qianchen's eyes were calm, without a ripple, as if Lu Fangrui was not even worth her attention.

Chu Qianchen gently patted Jingle's hand and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be afraid of."

"If the palace doesn't allow He Li, wouldn't it be fun to meet him once and fight him once?!"

Jingle nodded blindly.

The look she gave Chu Qianchen was so focused, almost pious. To her, whatever Chu Qianchen said was right.

At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves from the other end of the street, and then several people shouted at the top of their voices: "The soldiers are coming!"

Shouts were heard here and there, and some of the onlookers were afraid of the government, so they quickly moved to the sides of the street to make way for the soldiers who were riding on horseback.

Seeing this, Lu Xianjing felt as if she had been pardoned. Her anxious eyes also showed some spirit. She thought that when the police came, she would make sure to let them subdue this little bitch who had hurt people.

Even if the runners of Jingzhao Prefecture didn't dare to attack Princess Chen, as long as they could capture this little bitch, afterwards, their Lu family could also use this as an excuse to go to the palace and sue Prince Chen's Mansion for letting slaves hurt people! A glimmer of hope also ignited in Lu Fangrui's eyes, and he glared at Jiang Yuan fiercely.

“De de de…”

The sound of horse hooves got closer, and the appearance of the person coming became clearer.

As soon as we saw the uniforms of the people coming out, we knew that these dozen people were from the Five Cities Military Department.

The young man in the lead was wearing a frost-white cloak. When the white horse under him galloped, the cloak fluttered freely, making him look like a banished immortal.

Lu Xianjing shouted at the person who came, begging for help: "Sir, we are from the Dongping Marquis's Mansion. This bitch actually attacked my third brother. Sir, please take this bitch down!"

Lu Xianjing was so furious that she lost her mind and even used words like "slut" on her lips, which caused another commotion among the onlookers.

Isn't this Su Mubai? Jiang Yuan looked at the young man on the white horse and raised his eyebrows.

Su Mubai also saw Jiang Yuan stepping on the prince consort, and their eyes met. Then, he saw his own princess and Princess Jingle standing outside Duobaozhai.

Su Mubai pulled the reins and stopped the horse about two meters away from Jiang Yuan and Lu Fangrui.

With his intelligence, even if no one told him the whole story, he could guess about 80% of it just by looking at the people present. And looking at Jingle's "respecting the princess as the most respected" behavior, he basically understood 99% of it.

He thought to himself that when he returned home, he would remind the prince not to mess with the princess. Their princess knew how to beat people and discipline them, and she was not a white rabbit like Princess Jingle.

The more Su Mubai thought about it, the more he felt that he had taken the blame for the princess. It was clearly the princess who was willing to marry the prince.

Su Mubai didn't even look at Lu Xianjing, but curled the corners of his lips, like a March breeze blowing through the snowy streets.

"Jiang Yuan, are you done fighting? Do you need help?" Su Mubai asked with a smile.

Lu Fangrui: “…”

Jiang Yuan glanced at Lu Fangrui, who was being stepped on by her, with a half-smile, and said nonchalantly while withdrawing her foot, "The fight is over."

The other onlookers around were all like dumb people, staring at the scene in a daze, watching the maid who beat the man help her master get on the carriage, and watching the carriage leave in a dignified manner under the escort of the Five Cities Army.
