Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Looking at the arrogant Princess Xinlin, Yu Linglong smiled coldly, and actually steadily picked up the wine bowl!
Princess Xinlin smiled triumphantly. She knew: the Fourth Lady Yu didn’t dare to offend her!
With such a big bowl of wine, this delicate little girl must be completely drunk!
In the next moment, her smile disappeared instantly.
As soon as Yu Linglong lifted her hands, a large bowl of wine was poured onto Princess Xinlin!
Yu Linglong threw the wine bowl in her hand, and with the sound of the porcelain shattering she said in a low voice, “This wine is for you to drink!”
You want to make things difficult for her? You must be dreaming!
The dripping wine ruined the makeup on Princess Xinlin’s face. Her powder clumped up, and the dripping wine flowed down her front. The silver-red clothes also lost their color in an instant. Just now, the delicate Princess Xinlin was stuck in a difficult situation.
There was a sound of cold air from the ladies at the dinner, and the cowardly among them had already cried out, obviously terrified.
Where did a group of daughters who stay at home see such a scene? Even if there were conflicts between each other, it was just a few quarrels. How can they splash people with wine in public!
Furthermore, it was the famous Princess Xinlin that was provoked!
Yang Yunzheng was the first to react, and quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the face of Princess Xinlin. She then called for someone to fetch water.
Princess Xinlin was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She then stood up suddenly and pointed her little finger at Yu Linglong, shaking with anger: “You, how dare you splash me!”
A scornful smile was raised on Yu Linglong’s mouth: “I won’t drink this wine, so I won’t waste it!”
Princess Xinlin flushed with anger, and Yang Yunzheng on her side persuaded: “Princess, don’t worry, wash your face first.”
Princess Xinlin waved her hand and yelled irrespectively: “What are you, how dare you splash me! I’m going to the palace to tell the empress to get you a death penalty!”
After saying this, everyone at the dinner was silent and afraid to speak.
Who doesn’t know that Princess Xinlin was the beloved pet of the Dingguo Mansion and the empress’ G.o.ddaughter? She was the most pampered and spoiled. Now that the little daughter of a concubine from the Yu Mansion provoked her, how can she have a good ending?
Yu Linglong frowned slightly. She had wine thrown on her face, how would she be punished with a capital crime? This woman was too unruly!
Madam Changting Hou cleared her throat and said, “Fourth Lady Yu spilled the wine by accident. It was not intentional. It’s better to let her apologize to the princess. Let’s forget about it.”
After all, it happened in her house, and Yu Linglong had been invited by the heir. It wasn’t clear how it came about, or how the big things turned into small things, which was good for everyone.
It’s just that the luck in her hands was not suitable for Yu Linglong. Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Xinlin: “Apologize? To her!?”
What a joke. She spilled this wine on purpose, and she should still apologize to this little girl!?
Princess Xinlin was furious with anger, and she didn’t act like a young lady again: “You apologize and I won’t let you get away with this! Look, I’ll enter the palace now—”
Before she finished speaking, a leisurely voice interrupted her: “The princess will enter the palace? Why don’t we join you.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Everyone’s eyes were attracted by this unexpected voice. Two men walked out from the flowers and trees together. One had an elegant, long jade body, and the other was refined with a crown of jade. A maid came to her senses and hurriedly reported: “His Royal Highness Lord Xu and the heir are here.”
It was Lord Xu who had just spoken, and they saw that he was smiling at this moment. He looked Princess Xiniln up and down as if he hadn’t seen her with a face of wine and her hair askew: “I just heard that the princess will enter the palace? It just so happens I’m going to pay the mother queen respects. Why don’t you come with me?”
The elegant man smiled to Madam Changting Hou: “It is a sin for me to be late and to make the distinguished guests wait.”
Madam Changting Hou nodded: “Huanian, why did you come just now?”
Yang Yunzheng on the side hurriedly smiled and said, “Big brother is late, he should be punished!”
There was a commotion in the dining s.p.a.ce. Obviously, the long-awaited Yang Huanian successfully attracted most people’s attention.
And the princess Xinlin, who was full of anger, turned red when she saw Lord Xu, and she burst into tears immediately: “Brother Nine, someone is bullying me!”
Lord Xu laughed loudly: “It’s fine if you don’t bully others, but there are still people bullying you!?”
Princess Xinlin stomped her feet with anger: “Really! You still make fun of me!”
She pointed to Yu Linglong: “It’s her!”
Yu Linglong turned her face away contemptuously. This woman who begged a man for help in such a coquettish manner made her despise her the most. Rely on yourself if you can, who relies on a man!?
Princess Xinlin reluctantly hugged Lord Xu’s arm and shook it nonstop: “Brother Nine, you must help me teach her a lesson!”
Lord Xu glanced at Yu Linglong but he didn’t seem to care: “Okay. Look at yourself, wash your face first before talking.”
Princess Xinlin remembered that she still had a colored face, and her face suddenly became redder. She was ashamed and angry: “Brother Nine, you’re bullying me too!”
Yang Yunzheng hurriedly called a maid over to help Princess Xinlin wash her face and change her clothes.
And so a small storm ended like this.
Yu Linglong glanced at Madam Changting Hou and said coldly: “Farewell!”
The woman had helped Lord Xu deceive herself by inviting her, so she didn’t plan on her looking kind.
But Madam Changting Hou didn’t look worried. She said politely but distantly: “Come here, send Fourth Lady Yu out.”
This was the first time she came as a guest. It was better to send this kind of guest out early.
Yu Linglong also turned around and left.
Seeing Yu Linglong’s departure, Lord Xu smiled and said to Madam Changting Hou: “This lord will not disturb the att.i.tude of Madam and the other ladies. I take my leave.”
Before Madam Changting Hou could speak, Lord Xu had already turned and left, following Yu Linglong directly.
Madam Changting Hou stared at the direction Yu Linglong was leaving. What was the origin of this Fourth Lady Yu?
Although the banquet took place in the garden, because the guests were all female family members, a few rosewood flower-and-bird screens were placed at the entrance, which not only added elegance but also added privacy.
Just as Yu Linglong turned past the screen, she heard the footsteps behind her. At the same time, there was an already familiar voice: “Wait!”
Yu Linglong turned around abruptly, and her pretty face sank: “If you have something to say, spit it out!”
The maid who took Yu Linglong out of the house was startled, and her shoulders shrank subconsciously. Lord Xu glanced at her and waved her hand casually: “You go first.”
