Feng Lianyi would still be somewhat happy if she only listened to Nan Xian’s last words, but her expression suddenly changed when she recalled his previous sentence.
“Master Nan Xian…” Feng Lianyi took a deep breath. “I think you might have misunderstood me. I didn’t want to harm your wife. I was just telling the truth about what happened that day. I can’t cover her just because she is your wife. But who would have thought that the emperor and the empress would misunderstand it…”
If it were not because of her, Nan Xian would not have even had the chance to meet the emperor and the empress, and she was not even afraid that Nan Xian would tell them that.
“Master…”
Qing Zhu came out from Nan Xian’s sleeve. It looked somewhat annoyed as it rolled its eyes at Feng Lianyi and said, “Didn’t that empress come to see Feng Ruqing? Why don’t you go ask her if she misunderstood Feng Ruqing…”
Feng Lianyi was stunned. The empress went to see Feng Ruqing… Why? The high noble empress did not have to go by herself even if she had misunderstood Feng Ruqing.
‘Ridiculous!
‘This damned snake is lying to me!’
“Master Nan Xian, you’ve misunderstood me. I, Feng Lianyi, have always strived to be a righteous person all my life. I have never done anything against my conscience…” Feng Lianyi smiled bitterly. “But if you really misunderstood me, then I can’t do anything about it. I certainly didn’t do anything wrong.”
Qing Zhu was stunned. It widened its eyes and stared at the shameless girl in front of it. It did not expect her to say these words as if nothing had happened.
Qing Zhu turned its head and saw a young man in a silk robe walk over while waving his folding fan.
Qing Zhu was somewhat familiar with that young man. It seemed like he was the man who had bullied Helian Yue at the inn that day.
Qing Zhu frowned and sneered. “Hey, idiot!”
The young man was still laughing with the person next to him, ignoring Qing Zhu.
Qing Zhu was furious. “I’m talking to you, Fourth Prince! The idiot who bullied Helian Yue!”
The young man turned and looked at Nan Xian.
“Were you the one cursing me just now?”
Nan Xian was stunned.
He silently lowered his head and looked at the snake that came out from his sleeve.
“Stupid! I’m the one shouting at you, not my Master…” Qing Zhu snapped.
The young man followed the voice and saw a small green snake…
The snake looked arrogant, raising its chin to stare directly at him.
“You’re insolent!” The Fourth Prince was furious.
‘How dare this little snake be so rude to me!”
Qing Zhu smiled. “This woman is bad-mouthing your royal family.”
The young man was stunned. He raised his eyes, and his blank gaze fell on Feng Lianyi.
Feng Lianyi was quite beautiful, but unfortunately, she was not his type.
He was more interested in cute little girls…
“What are you talking about?”
Feng Lianyi’s expression changed slightly, looking a little frustrated. ‘Why did this bastard appear here? Damn!’
