  Several aware young misses were already feeling guilty. They look at each other’s face and then looked down. They were afraid to be confronted by Lin Chujiu.

  As soon as they made such gestures, some witted people had already guessed something.

  Princess Fu An doesn’t want to be treated like a fool, but she had to say: “Wanfu Garden covers a large area. Even I, the master of this place is not yet familiar. Princess Xiao getting lost is only normal. If Princess Xiao wants to visit this place again, it’s better if you will let the Wanfu Garden’s people lead you. So that, you won’t be in a place you shouldn’t be.”


  Princess Fu An said with a very firm heart as if she didn’t get affected by Lin Chujiu’s words. She also said those words with full of dignity, but she uses her people to show that Lin Chujiu shouldn’t go around the place of someone else’s home.

  Lin Chujiu immediately changed her facial expression and said: “Imperial sister-in-law, although I was not born from the royal family, I was disciplined since I was a child. My teacher taught me about etiquette. I know a person shouldn’t wander around someone else’s home. Which I didn’t perform.”


  “Really? If you didn’t wander around, then why are you here?” Princess Fu An said in irony and full of disdain.

  Lin Chujiu frown her eyebrows and said: “Imperial sister-in-law, I know watching the scenery in the Water Pavilion is something not allowed to anyone. But, if your servants didn’t allow me, do you think I will be here? With Imperial sister-in-law‘s tone, it seems I am not welcome here. And since Imperial sister-in-law doesn’t welcome me, then I will go home now.”


  Finally, Lin Chujiu found a reason to go away first. So, without a second thought, Lin Chujiu took a step and walk away…… ……

  “This, Princess Xiao …… ……” The young misses were dumbfounded. After all, they didn’t think that Lin Chujiu will say she’ll go away right in front Princess Fu An’s face. And at this moment, they were still shocked. Only Cui Furen responded and rushed forward to grab Lin Chujiu’s arm: “Princess Xiao, please don’t get angry. Princess Fu An doesn’t mean it that way. Please don’t take it to heart.”


  If Lin Chujiu left around this time. Then, wouldn’t the other people think that they don’t know the word hospitality?

  “Really? Is that true Imperial sister…… ……” Lin Chujiu turn around and look at Princess Fu An. The meaning of her attitude is very clear.

  She wants Princess Fu An to personally admit it!

  Princess Fu An wanted to vomit blood!

  This Lin Chujiu is really something. She actually wanted her to take back her words in public? Isn’t this simply…… …… I don’t know!

  Princess Fu An really wanted to say to Lin Chujiu: You get out now! But, she can’t open her mouth after receiving a warning from her husband’s family.

  Princess Fu An wants to die. It was impossible for her to admit her mistake in public.

  Princess Fu An waved her sleeve and turned around to face her guests, then said: “Don’t you all want to see the scenery? Let’s go closer, this imperial princess will let all of you take a look.”


  Several young misses looked at each other’s face. For some reason, they don’t know what exactly to do.

  Cui Furen suddenly felt embarrassed and was stunned…… ……

  “Furen, let go of my hand now. I’ll go back to Xiao Wangfu.” Lin Chujiu gently pushed Cui Furen’s hand, then added: “Furen, since I am married to Xiao Wangfu, I am now Princess Xiao. I always remember my identity, every word or action I make represents Xiao Wangfu. I can be wronged, but I won’t let anyone stepped on Prince Xiao’s face. I must leave now!”


  After hearing those words, a person couldn’t help but compare Princess Fu An to Lin Chujiu. Obviously, Princess Fu An is now married to Cui Family. But, she acted like she is not part of it. She didn’t give them a face, nor importance.

  In regard to this case, Princess Fu An doesn’t really need to offend Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao. However, because of Princess Fushou Zhang, she disregards the Cui Family’s face. She causes trouble to Lin Chujiu multiple times. She completely turns a blind eye to the Cui Family’s reputation.

  With Princess Fu An’s disregard for the situation, Cui Furen felt a bad premonition inside her heart. She wanted to retort, but she can’t open her mouth because she doesn’t know what to say.

  “Princess Xiao, I’m really sorry. It is our Cui Family’s fault for not receiving you well.” Cui Furen doesn’t know where to put her face. Obviously, it was Princess Fu An who cause troubles, but she was the one who apologized for multiple times.

  Although she is not an imperial princess, she also came from a prestigious family. She is married to the Cui Family’s eldest son, so her position is not worst than Princess Fu An.

  Lin Chujiu accepted Cui Furen’s apology. She also said enough. So, she nodded her head and smiled: “Furen, I don’t feel well. I’ll go back first.”


  These words are enough to give Cui Furen’s face. Cui Furen now has a good mood: “Princess Xiao, I will visit you some other day.”


  “Good.” Lin Chujiu smile and then turned away.

  Feicui and the others coldly hum and contemptuously swept their eyes to all the people. And then, they quickly catch up to Lin Chujiu.

  “This…… ……” What about the birthday banquet?

  A birthday banquet is a good event. But after a series of incident and Lin Chujiu’s early departure. Who will still have the heart to enjoy the scenery? However, Princess Fu An refused to accept defeat, she keeps smiling while looking at the scenery.

  Due to Princess Fu An’s identity, the other young misses didn’t dare to say anything, but the smile on their face didn’t return. It was only those aware young misses that helplessly go along.

  These young misses don’t deserve to see the scenery of the Water Pavilion, for a very long time. But, because Princess Fu An doesn’t want her birthday banquet to be destroyed by Lin Chujiu’s departure. She let her guests enjoy the scenery.

  The aware young misses didn’t hesitate to sit down and let the birthday banquet continue. Each one of them busily pushes the incident on the back of their mind and lighten Princess Fu An’s spirit. Hoping she won’t hate them because of the previous event.

  A determined person will make things interesting. After the cooperation of both side, the cold atmosphere once again becomes bustling. Seeing all the young misses around Princess Fu An, Cui Furen couldn’t help but shook her head.

  “I’m tired. I’ll go back first to rest.” Cui Furen decided to check out what exactly happened to the Xiaoxang Hall.

  Cui Furen didn’t bid farewell to anyone and just left quietly…… ……

  Inside the Xiao Wangfu’s study room, Xiao Tianyao, Su Cha, and Liu Bai occupied each corner of the room. They are very busy with their own affairs, but Su Cha couldn’t calm down himself.

  From time to time, he looked up to see Xiao Tianyao. Su Cha wanted to say something, but he doesn’t know how to start.

  If it’s only once or twice, Xiao Tianyao could endure it. However, he couldn’t count how many times Su Cha had looked at him in this whole afternoon. Xiao Tianyao slammed the ink brush he is holding on the table: “Su Cha, if you have something to say, then speak.”


  “Yes, Su Cha, what is wrong with you?” Liu Bai said, because he also think that Su Cha’s behavior is weird.

  “I …… ……” Su Cha opens his mouth, but then stopped. Xiao Tianyao couldn’t stand him. So, he picked up his ink brush and no longer paid him attention. However, he heard Su Cha said: “I’m worried about Wangfei. I felt bad because we used her as a bait. It’s too dangerous. If Jing Chi won’t arrive in time, what will we do? I don’t think Zhou Si will be merciful just because Wangfei is a woman.”


  Uh…… ……

  Because of Su Cha’s words, the study room had a deafening quietness…… ……
