Xiao Yi was very pleased to see that Chu Mingzhu agreed to apologize and even prepared a gift, so he took Chu Mingzhu to Xie Yushu's Princess Mansion.
Just as Xie Yushu saw off the guests who came to offer their congratulations, and the servants were busy cleaning the courtyard and finishing up, Xiao Yi arrived with Chu Mingzhu.
Upon hearing the servant's report, Xie Yushu frowned deeply.
"What are they doing here again? Tell them to go back, just say I'm busy!"
The doorman cautiously reminded him.
"But, Chu Mingzhu was standing at the door crying and sobbing, with General Xiao following her. If we don't let them in, won't that have a bad influence on our mansion?"
In just a short while, their actions had already attracted the attention of quite a few people!
After hearing the servant's words, Xie Yushu could imagine the scene outside the door without even looking. Her usually good temper suddenly flared up.
"Nanxing, let's go check the entrance."
Chu Mingzhu wanted to use her influence to give Xie Yushu more screen time, but that depended on Xie Yushu's approval. Once on stage, who was the lead actress wouldn't be up to her!
Upon hearing this, Nanxing Chunyu and the other maids immediately went out with Xie Yushu. Mu Litianshui and the others saw their master walking out aggressively and followed.
Xie Yushu was hosting a banquet today, dressed in a bright red princess's formal attire with gold embroidery, her hair styled in a high bun, with dark eyebrows and red lips. If she smiled, she would appear elegant and approachable.
Now, with a hint of anger on her face and a sharp gaze, she walked with a brisk pace. Stepping out of the door, head held high and chest out, she stood calmly at the entrance of the Princess's residence. The crowd watching Chu Mingzhu's performance immediately knelt down in unison.
"Greetings, Princess Jingde!"
The atmosphere that Chu Mingzhu had worked so hard to create was immediately shattered, and the scene was filled with a serious and oppressive feeling!
Xiao Yi had never seen Xie Yushu dressed up so elegantly and exuding such a powerful aura. His eyes were filled with amazement, and he was stunned. He really felt that the few steps Xie Yushu took when she left the house were like walking on the tip of his heart. His heart was pounding so hard it was about to jump out of his chest. So this was the real her?
When Chu Mingzhu saw Xie Yushu looking down at her from above, she was so shocked that she forgot to act. Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look like a pitiful little white flower.
Judging from her appearance, Xie Yushu knew that she had done a lot of trouble. She guessed that everyone here already knew how Chu Mingzhu had swallowed her anger and been humble and tolerant in order to help Xiao Yi.
It goes without saying that Xie Yushu is now undoubtedly the villainous supporting character in the story of the villainous supporting character who is about to take the place of the villainous supporting character. This pitiful little white flower is really being driven to her death!
Seeing the sharpness and mockery in Xie Yushu's eyes, Chu Mingzhu's face turned pale, and she felt a strange sense of panic.
But remembering Granny Qian's instructions, she apologized for Xiao Yi's sake. The gentler and more sincere she was, the more Xiao Yi would feel sorry for her and see Xie Yushu's barbarity and rudeness. So she squeezed out a few more tears and tried to continue her performance.
But Xie Yushu wouldn't give her the chance, and directly questioned her.
"Princess Rong'an has had enough of being a princess, so she's switched to acting!"
Judging from her appearance, is she studying to play a Qingyi (a type of female role in Peking Opera)?
Is it some kind of melodramatic ballad? Look at that little face, all tearful; it's truly pitiful!
Upon hearing Xie Yushu compare her to an actress, Chu Mingzhu's expression changed instantly, and she angrily retorted.
"You, Xie Yushu, don't go too far!"
Xie Yushu slapped Chu Mingzhu across the face.
"How dare you! You address me by my given name!"
"you!"
"Yu Shu!"
Chu Mingzhu covered her face with one hand and pointed at Xie Yushu in disbelief with the other.
Xiao Yi was also startled awake by the slap and immediately stepped forward to protect Chu Mingzhu.
"Yu Shu, Mingzhu is just a delicate young lady who can't even kill a chicken. How could you lay a hand on her!"
Chu Mingzhu sneered
"Today is my housewarming day, and everyone knows I'm hosting a banquet. But you two, on the day of my banquet, stood outside my door crying. A slap on her is too lenient!"
Didn't I tell you before, keep an eye on her, and don't mess with me!
Take her and get out!
Xiao Yi's injuries were visible to the naked eye.
"Yu Shu, it's not what you think. Nan Xing said you were assassinated, and Ming Zhu has realized her mistake and came here specifically to apologize to you!"
"Ha! That's even funnier!"
I was the one who was assassinated, so why is Chu Mingzhu crying?
I've heard of people carrying thorns to apologize, offering their lives to atone for their sins, kowtowing to confess their guilt, offering wine to apologize, or standing pitifully at the victim's door crying as an apology. But I've never actually seen any of these!
Have any of you seen this before?!
Xie Yushu's words made the group of people kneeling below realize what was going on. "That's right, since she sent someone to assassinate Princess Jingde, even if she doesn't atone with her death, she should at least show some sincerity. What's the point of standing at her door crying like that? Why did I feel sorry for her just now?"
So they looked left and right and started whispering to each other!
Xie Yushu didn't immediately grant them the courtesy; instead, she subtly intimidated them, telling them to use their brains while watching the spectacle. Seeing that they had realized their mistake, she let them stand up.
Chu Mingzhu's expression immediately changed, and Xiao Yi seemed to realize that what they had done was inappropriate, offering a dry explanation.
"We didn't think that much about it! We just wanted to apologize to you."
"Xiao Yi! I've told you before that I don't want to bring up the past, but you keep bringing it up, so I'll have to talk to you about it."
Chu Mingzhu sent two waves of assassins, all veterans under Chu Wei. You know better than I do what they're like. I survived both of them not because I, Xie Yushu, am lucky, but because my guards are loyal. Otherwise, I would have been killed by her twice!
You want to settle this by paying compensation? Can you afford to?
Since we're going to settle accounts, let's do it properly today.
Tianshui, Muli, show your injuries to General Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Tianshui and Muli stepped forward, pulled open their clothes, and exposed the knife wounds, slash wounds, and penetrating wounds on their abdomens, chests, and shoulder armor!
Xiao Yi, look carefully. I haven't even mentioned the injuries on my girls. Do you think you can settle this matter by bringing Chu Mingzhu here crying and apologizing?
If you want me to forgive her, fine, let my subordinates repay Chu Mingzhu the injuries she suffered one-to-one, and then I'll forgive her!
Upon hearing this, Tianshui and Muli closed their clothes and suddenly drew their swords.
Chu Mingzhu turned pale with fright.
"Thank you, Yu Shu. I am a second-rank princess. What are a few injuries to these mere servants? Do you dare to let your servants hurt me?"
"Hmph! In my eyes, they are my brothers, while you are nothing!"
"Let's do it!"
At Xie Yushu's command, Tian Shui Mu Li thrust straight at Chu Mingzhu. Xiao Yi drew his sword and blocked them both, engaging them in a fierce battle.
Seeing Xiao Yi join the fray, A Jiu also leaped into the fight, and the four of them instantly became embroiled in a fierce battle.
Chu Mingzhu's lips trembled as she spoke.
"Xie Yushu, you're a madman!"
Xie Yushu directly pried her fingers open.
"You're not even as crazy as me, daring to come to my door and provoke me time and time again! Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you!"
