Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yu Huarong’s expression remained unchanged, and she coldly snorted, “You’re clearly being unreasonable. With so many witnesses, when did I ever hit Zinan? Why would 1 even do such a thing?”
Gu Xiaonan had already figured out what was going on and retorted, “Didn’t you just touch him a moment ago? There are plenty of ways to make someone faint, like poisoning them. You’re trying to frame and harm my mother by poisoning him. Isn’t it obvious?”
The people around them suddenly understood.
“What Young Master Xiaonan says is true! That young man was thrown out by the Guardian Princess just now, and he didn’t faint. He suddenly collapsed after listening to her words. Now that we think about it, it’s clear that these siblings are conspiring to slander the Guardian Princess. It’s despicable!”
“Yes! It’s utterly despicable!”
Faced with the angry glares from the crowd, Yu Huarong was filled with frustration.
She hadn’t expected that Gu Qingluan and a little kid could make these people believe them with just a few words!
Did Gu Qingluan cast a curse on them?
Every one of them trusted her so much!
“We haven’t done anything like that! Don’t speak falsely! Not only did she harm our Fourth Young Master, but now she’s also falsely accusing our First Lady!” A maid standing beside Yu Huarong angrily retorted.
As the personal maid of First Lady Yu, she had more dignity than an ordinary young lady.
She was grateful to First Lady Yu, and she understood the principle of “shared honor and disgrace,” so she couldn’t just stand by and watch everyone target her young lady.
However, she had forgotten that this wasn’t the Holy Capital, nor was it the Qiankun Academy.
Few people recognized the Yu family here. Even though the Yu family had some reputation throughout the continent, expecting these people to appreciate their power was wishful thinking.
Especially because Yu Zinan had criticized their nation, which had stirred up a lot of resentment among the Tianjing citizens, it had already made them furious.
Now, they were trying to shift the blame onto the Guardian Princess, whom they admired and even revered. There was no way they would take a friendly stance towards the other side.
The maid realized that the more she protested and the angrier these people became, the more frustrated and aggrieved she felt. Her eyes turned red.
“Ah Cheng, what are you waiting for? Can’t you see that our First Lady is being bullied?”
She stomped her foot and gave a displeased glance at her guard, Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng was a Saint and the strongest among their group. He was a.s.signed as Yu Huarong’s protector by the head of the Yu family.
This alone showed how much importance the head of the Yu family placed on his daughter.
Usually, if the First Lady felt wronged, Ah Cheng would have already intervened. However, today, he stood there in a daze, seemingly unsure whether to help her deal with these people who were bullying her.
Ah Cheng had a solemn expression as he spoke to Yu Huarong, “I am not her match.”
Gu Qingluan’s strength had long been no secret. They found out about it with little effort before.
But for Ah Cheng to admit defeat without even attempting to fight was somewhat detrimental to their pride.
The maid by Yu Huarong’s side pouted unhappily, finding Ah Cheng’s response too perfunctory.
Yu Huarong’s eyes, however, slightly darkened.
She believed what All Cheng said.
Ah Cheng had been with her for ten years and wouldn’t lie to her.
She hadn’t intended to use force in front of everyone.
Feng Yuanxi was watching, and if her people injured Gu Qingluan, this young man might report it to her cousin, causing misunderstandings.
Taking a deep breath, Yu Huarong spoke in a stern tone, “You have your own twisted ideas; don’t presume everyone shares your mindset! Zinan is undeniably badly hurt! He’s still out cold, and that’s the reality I’ve witnessed!”
Gu Qingluan clicked her tongue in disapproval.
This woman just wouldn’t admit defeat even when everything was so straightforward.
She had spoken so bluntly, and yet she insisted on being stubborn. It seemed like she wouldn’t understand the concept of knowing when to back down until her face was slapped silly.
Gu Qingluan walked over to Zinan.
“What are you planning?” The maid immediately questioned, vigilant.
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you ask us to see whether he was knocked unconscious or poisoned? What’s this? Changing your mind now?”
“Yeah! You just said it yourself, let us see! Now that we really want to look, you won’t let us? Are you feeling guilty?”
The people around them started to clamor..
