When she didn't answer for a long time and seemed lost in thought, Yuxiu nudged her with displeasure: "What's wrong with you? You're practically out of your mind."
Seeing that she was really unhappy, he smiled at her gently and said, "I didn't mean it, I'm sorry."
"Fine, I don't want to know what you're thinking. But you should put down your needlework for now. I don't want to look at your hand that's covered in wounds again."
He nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, how could he dare to utter a single word of dissent?
Yuxiu was amused by her obedient appearance: "If only you could be this obedient all the time."
"When have I ever been disobedient?" Heyue pouted in dissatisfaction.
"You still dare to say that?" Yuxiu glared at her.
Heyue immediately shook her head, blinked, and giggled, "Okay, I'll change it, alright?"
"Hmph, if your words could be believed, pigs could fly." Yuxiu ignored her feigned ignorance and continued embroidering a chrysanthemum. Heyue watched her embroidering from the side, her eyes full of envy.
"Oh, right." Yuxiu suddenly looked up, remembering something: "Have you heard the rumors that Wanyan Mingshuang is arrogant and domineering?
He Yue nodded: "I know."
This lack of surprise, coupled with her seemingly delighted expression, aroused Yuxiu's suspicion. She stared intently at her, then suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that you're behind this?"
“Of course.” He Yue readily admitted, “How could someone as vengeful as her let it go? If we hadn’t struck first, who knows what she would have done? I might be the one being rumored to be arrogant and domineering now.”
"Aren't you afraid she'll do something desperate?" Yu Xiu was both amused and exasperated. She truly admired He Yue's courage, but couldn't help but worry.
"Anyway, the initiative is in my hands. No matter what she does now, outsiders will only sympathize with the weak. As long as it's not a dirty trick, I'll accept it all. Of course, if she's targeting me in secret, I'll have my own ways to deal with her."
He Yue wasn't worried at all; she didn't take Wanyan Mingshuang seriously.
Yuxiu shook her head and sighed, "Now that you've made up your mind, I have nothing more to say."
The two never discussed the matter again.
As soon as Heyue returned to the manor, before she even reached her own courtyard, her second-class maid Xia Liu rushed up to her, her face showing anxiety: "Princess, Master is back. He seems very angry and wants you to come over. The Sixth Princess has already gone over."
He Yue was secretly surprised and hurriedly went to the main courtyard.
Along the way, Heyue wondered what had happened. But it must be related to her and her sixth sister, otherwise her father wouldn't have called them both over.
Upon reaching the main entrance, they indeed heard their father's furious voice: "It's all your fault! You've spoiled her rotten! Now look what's happened! She's caused such a huge disaster. Who knows what will happen to her? If something goes wrong, can she bear the consequences?"
"How is it that I'm the one who spoils them? Aren't you the one who spoils the children the most? Besides, what does this have to do with the children? Neither of us wanted Xiao Liu to marry into the royal family in the first place, so who can we blame for this? They did it themselves, what does it have to do with Xiao Liu?"
Irgen Gioro's voice was also filled with anger.
"You!" Marhan was speechless, and snorted heavily: "Isn't it all because of her nonsense? How did she get involved with the Thirteenth Prince for no reason? Now that she has ended up like this, we can only wait and see how the Emperor will deal with her."
These words sounded like they came from Sixth Sister. He Yue's curiosity was piqued. What did they mean by "fighting"? Who fought with whom? It was really strange.
She didn't go in; instead, she hid outside, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.
"How should Your Majesty handle this? In the end, it was Xiao Liu who fell into their trap. The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince fought, so how did it become Xiao Liu's fault? When did Xiao Liu ever intentionally get involved with the Thirteenth Prince?"
“That’s right, I’m innocent! Father always blames me. I was framed back then, I didn’t want to do it either,” Yan Yue muttered indignantly.
"How dare you say that!" Marhan roared, but couldn't utter another word for a moment.
“Father has nothing to say either, so I’m not allowed to speak? It wasn’t my fault to begin with. Instead of blaming me, you should find out who’s behind this.”
Why did the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince fight? He Yue looked puzzled.
Judging from what Father said, it seems that the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were involved because of the Sixth Sister. This has indeed caused quite a stir. What should we do?
Heyue stopped thinking about it, lifted the curtain, stepped inside, and interrupted, "Father, why are you blaming Sixth Sister?"
The three people in the room stopped talking when they saw her, and looked at her with embarrassed expressions.
It is indeed inappropriate to argue like this in front of your youngest daughter.
Seeing her husband's embarrassed expression, Lady Irgen Gioro snorted, pulled Heyue aside to sit down, and said casually, "Seventh Sister, don't listen to your father's nonsense. This matter has nothing to do with Sixth Sister."
Marhan glared at him, but said nothing more, sitting down with his anger simmering inside.
Heyue tugged at Yiergen Gioro's sleeve and asked curiously, "Mother, who laid a hand on me? What happened? Why is Father so angry?"
Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Yiergenjueluo glanced at Yan Yue, who lowered her head and sat down in the chair, turning her head away without saying a word.
Lady Irgen Gioro coughed lightly, softened her voice, and explained the whole story: "That night you and Xiao Liu went to Prince An's mansion. Did Xiao Liu meet the Thirteenth Prince?"
He Yue nodded, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She thought to herself, "Could it be that the Fourteenth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince fought over this matter?"
As expected, Lady Irgen Gioro continued, "When the Fourteenth Prince learned of this, he was furious and fought with the Thirteenth Prince. When the news reached the Emperor's ears, the Emperor was enraged."
He Yue opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, and was somewhat speechless.
Marhan suddenly turned his head and glared at Heyue, his face dark: "Did you have a dispute with the princess of the Wanyan family that day?"
Uh, Heyue lowered her head for a moment with a guilty conscience, then suddenly wondered what she was guilty of? She raised her head again and stubbornly snorted: "She bullied Sixth Sister. If she hadn't splashed Sixth Sister with water, how could Sixth Sister have run into Thirteenth Prince while changing clothes? I was just giving her a taste of her own medicine."
"You!" Marhan pointed at her, his eyes wide with anger, speechless. Finally, he managed to utter a sentence to Irgen Gioro: "You've raised a fine daughter!"
Yiergenjueluo frowned and retorted bluntly, "What did Xiaoqi do wrong? According to you, are we supposed to just endure this and let others bully us like this? I think that Wanyan deserves a beating. We haven't even settled accounts with her yet, and that old bastard Luocha has already come to you. If he's not satisfied, we'll go to the Emperor and say something. We haven't settled the score for his daughter hitting my daughter yet, and now he's bullying Xiaoliu. Let's see who's in the right. Besides, why did Xiaoliu encounter the Thirteenth Prince? Wasn't it because of Wanyan? Who knows, Wanyan might have been behind this. If we report this to the Emperor, they'll be accused of framing a prince. I'd like to see if the Wanyan clan can handle that!"
