Mu Chenshuang looked at Fenglian with a calm expression and cold eyes, and slowly said, "I think Your Highness has misunderstood. Miss Xue took the initiative to come and spar, so why can't I fight back? Since it is a spar, victory or defeat is inevitable. Besides, I did not hurt Miss Xue in the slightest."
Fenglian raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing her words. "Ya'er, you tell me."
Mu Yazhi looked nervous and couldn't bring herself to say it. This reaction, seen by Fenglian, further confirmed that Mu Chenshuang must have done something just now. Otherwise, Mu Yazhi wouldn't have pleaded like that and said something like "Jia'er must not hurt Mu Chenshuang."
"Ya'er, you can say it. If anyone dares to hurt you, I will be the first to not let her off." As she spoke, she stared at Mu Chenshuang with a warning.
Lu Wei stepped forward and comforted her, "Ya'er, just say it. If it's a misunderstanding, we can clear things up and clear your sister's name."
Mu Yazhi glanced at Mu Chenshuang, her innocent eyes looking pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She then explained, "It was indeed a misunderstanding. I don't think you meant it, but I was just scared when I saw you almost prick Jiajia's eye with the whip sheath."
Upon hearing this, Feng Lian's face darkened abruptly, and a cold glint appeared in her lowered eyes. "So, Princess, you're playing with my daughter's life in this sparring match? Mu Chenshuang, who gave you the audacity?!"
Faced with Feng Lian's stern questioning, Mu Chenshuang's expression remained calm and unwavering. "Princess Jinhua, if I really wanted to harm Miss Xue, would I make such a low-level mistake? If something happened to Miss Xue in my courtyard, could I escape responsibility? Even if I were stupid, I wouldn't be that stupid. Don't you agree, Princess Jinhua?"
Mu Chenshuang asked softly, which made Fenglian's face turn somewhat awkward.
Mu Chenshuang ignored Feng Lian and strode directly to Xue Jiajia. As Xue Jiajia watched Mu Chenshuang approach, she felt a tightness in her chest from the pressure of Mu Chenshuang's aura.
"Ms. Xue, I'll say it again: if you feel I need to apologize to you, I can apologize, but I hope you have your own basic judgment and don't lose your rationality because of the slander and sophistry of some people."
Xue Jiajia was taken aback and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yazhi suddenly panicked. This bitch was pretending to be reasonable at a time like this.
Xue Jiajia remained silent, but Lu Wei spoke up, "Princess, why don't we just let this matter go? It's inevitable that there will be friction between two people during a friendly spar. Besides, Miss Xue is not seriously injured. I apologize to you on behalf of Shuang'er."
Mu Yazhi added, "Yes, Princess, Jiajia is alright. I think you already know what's going on and will definitely be more careful next time."
These words from the two of them indirectly confirmed that Mu Chenshuang wanted to harm Xue Jiajia.
Xue Jiajia came to her senses, walked to Fenglian's side, took her mother's arm, and whispered, "Mother, forget it, I... don't want to hold it against you anymore."
The last sentence sounded like she was aggrieved, but it also sounded like she was guilty of something. She, who was usually bold and reckless, didn't dare to look at Mu Chenshuang at this moment, but just lowered her eyes.
But to Fenglian, this only made her feel that her daughter was being bullied by Mu Chenshuang.
Feng Lian stared coldly at Mu Chengshuang, her tone stern, "Mu Chengshuang, don't think that just because you have a gold medal and the status of a princess, you can be lawless and arrogant. If I wanted to punish you, your gold medal would be useless. Since Jiajia is alright today, I don't want to bother with you, but you'd better remember this: if there is a next time, I will never let you off easily."
Seeing Fenglian's anger, Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi both revealed a hint of smugness in their eyes.
Lu Wei quickly comforted her, "Shuang'er definitely knows she was wrong. Please calm down, Princess. Let's go to the plum garden now!"
Feng Lian gave Mu Chenshuang a cold look, snorted angrily, and started to leave. Xue Jiajia, supporting her mother, froze as she passed Mu Chenshuang, not daring to look up.
Lu Wei walked up to Mu Chenshuang, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Shuang'er, let's go to the plum garden together. You can apologize to the princess."
