Princess Zhaoping stared at them for a long time, but Simeng and Siyi remained respectfully bowing their heads and motionless, as if they hadn't noticed her gaze.
Princess Zhaoping: "!!!"
What are those two idiotic, lowly maids up to?
Weren't they sent by the Empress Dowager to protect and help her? Why did they suddenly turn a deaf ear at this crucial moment?
Just as Princess Zhaoping was about to speak to remind Simeng and Siyi, Shang Xiye's cold voice rang out again in everyone's ears: "Zhaoping, how do you intend to explain this matter?"
Even at this point, Simeng and Siyi remained unmoved;
When they heard Shang Xiye's question, they even lowered their heads further.
Princess Zhaoping: "..."
"She doesn't even dare to speak anymore," Xi Que said coolly, drawing out her words. "Young master, I think this precious princess is just throwing a tantrum and hitting people randomly."
She still remembered how, during the Tongyou incident, Princess Zhaoping had jumped into the water to frame her young mistress, forcing her to cut her own leg to avert the crisis.
Although Miss is willing to protect Princess Zhaoping because of the Sun family's kindness to her son-in-law, Miss did not say that she could not cause trouble for Princess Zhaoping, did she?
She just didn't want this damn princess to have an easy time!
Upon hearing Xique's words, Princess Zhaoping could no longer rely on the two maids who were pretending to be dead. She hurriedly defended herself, saying, "That's not how it is, Your Highness. They were the ones who shamelessly started it. I only wanted to rectify the family's conduct for the Prince's Mansion!"
Shang Xiye's face darkened: "Rectify family traditions?"
"Your Highness, you don't know, Consort Jin and Song Huiru, they..." Princess Zhaoping was too ashamed to speak.
Upon hearing Zhao Ping's half-sentence, Song Huiru felt a chill run down her spine.
She was very depressed! Extremely depressed!
From the day she entered the Ninth Prince's mansion, she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss of depression from which she could not extricate herself, and nothing ever went her way.
Song Huiru shot a sharp glare at Shanyu Heye;
I wish I could stab this menace to death with a single glance!
Shanyu Heye, however, remained calm and composed, even looking directly at Princess Zhaoping and speaking stoically: "What's wrong with us? My sister Huiru and I are good friends. Is it wrong for us to invite each other to stroll in the garden in broad daylight?"
"You...you are vulgar and shameless, utterly shameless!" Princess Zhaoping was so angry at Shanyu Heye's thick skin that she blurted out her curses.
Ji Fengyao silently rubbed her forehead.
It seems the Empress Dowager really didn't intend for this guy to live to be a hundred. With that kind of intelligence, without the protection of the people she sent, he would be killed in a heartbeat.
"Enough!" Shang Xiye shouted, his voice booming like thunder, as he stopped Princess Zhaoping's angry outburst. "As a noble princess, how dare you use such foul language in public! What kind of behavior is this! Besides, I clearly stated last time that the one in charge of my Ninth Prince's Mansion is Princess Chonghe, not you, Princess Zhaoping. Even if we're going to rectify the family's conduct, it should be her doing it, not yours! Who gave you that right!"
That roar shook the mountains and rivers.
Ji Fengyao couldn't help but glance at him: Tsk tsk, my master's acting skills are amazing!
Wuying's eyes were lowered, like an emotionless pillar:
Hmm, his master's ability to put on a good act of dressing up has become increasingly impressive in order to support the princess.
The magpie's eyes sparkled with excitement:
As expected of my son-in-law, he's so cool when he gets angry!
Princess Zhaoping was on the verge of tears, her heart breaking: "Brother Xiye, why don't you believe Zhaoping? They really... Didn't you hear what the maids in the manor were saying behind our backs? Zhaoping is truly doing this for the sake of our manor's reputation!"
