Upon hearing these words, Huangfu Lingyao’s face turned grim. He suddenly stood up, pointing at Guan Ruping and shouted, “You, with your foul mouth! Believe me, I’ll tear you apart!”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
Afraid that he would rush over and beat him up, Liu Shimei stood up and held his hand. “Lingyao, the Crown Prince is in charge of this matter. You don’t have to be angry.”
Worried that the energetic Second Prince might break free, she quickly signaled Liang Yi to come and help.
Liang Yi was indeed the devil who doted on his sister. He understood his sister’s request with a glance and immediately rushed over to hold Huangfu Lingyao back.
With someone restraining him, the situation improved slightly.
“How can 1 not be angry!” The Silly Second Prince, still held by Liang Yi, started to throw a tantrum.
He could not move forward, so he bent down to pick up the fruit platter on the table and threw it at Guan Ruping one by one!
Surprisingly, not all of them hit the mark, but he managed to hit three out of five.
In a short while, Guan Ruping looked even more disheveled, with fruit juice all over her face!
The veins on Huangfu He’s forehead bulged as he said, “Men, stop King Dun Yu!”
He felt increasingly resentful. Why was such a person allowed to benefit? Why did this person get the upper hand and throw a perfectly good flower into the mud?
Thinking of this, he could not help but hate Liu Yan’er even more.
If it weren’t for Liu Yan’er, this lowly servant girl, who was in the way, perhaps he would have already gotten married and could have played the zither with Liu Shimei!
Silly Second Prince’s ruckus could not be suppressed by the crowd and was forced to sit back down.
Liu Shimei pressed down on his hand and said, “Lingyao, if you don’t listen to me, I’ll be angry!”
These words were a trump card for the silly dog. He was most afraid that she would be angry, so he hurriedly said, “Wife, don’t be angry. I’ll listen, 1’11 listen!”
Though he said that, he still hugged her tightly and said, “But I’m so angry! How could she say such things about you? 1 won’t allow it!”
Amidst the arguing and childish words, a strong protective instinct was evident in everyone present.
While it was true that Miss Liu would have a difficult life with a foolish husband, it seemed that as long as they could keep the Second Prince under control, life in the Dun Yu Residence would be quite comfortable.
Some people’s mood became subtle as they thought to themselves, ‘Miss Liu’s strategies are truly remarkable. She compromised, but she managed to secure the best outcome for herself. It’s still better than becoming a laughingstock after losing the Crown Prince’s marriage proposal, ending up either dead by suicide or drowning in misery.’
Of course, Huangfu He did not think so. He only knew one fact: The woman that originally belonged to me was ruined by this fool!
However, he couldn’t erupt in anger at this moment, nor could he directly take it out on Liu Yan’er. All he could do was say, “Guan Ruping, you admit your guilt but refuse to submit to punishment?”
Guan Ruping was truly fearless and boldly replied, “Your Highness, I merely spoke the truth. 1 nearly lost my life at the hands of King Dun Yu, and I was also threatened by several young masters from the Liang family! If I’ve done wrong, it was because they forced me!”
Such a temper she had, and her courage was commendable!
However, Jin Wei’er was frightened and said, “Your Highness, I know 1 was wrong! Please punish me!”
Huangfu He said solemnly, “Although you weren’t the one behind this, you were not innocent either. Jin Wei’er, the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living sin is hard to escape. From now on, you won’t need to attend any royal banquets. Now, go back immediately and pack your things to return to your family’s estate!”
Such a punishment was considered very fair.
What would happen to Jin Wei’er when she returned home? She might be married off immediately, and she would never marry well. At least, her life was saved.
But what about Guan Ruping?
Everyone was very interested, especially eager to know how Guan Ruping would be dealt with!
