Several aware young misses were already feeling guilty. They look at each otherâs 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 doesnât want to be treated like a fool, but she had to say: âWanfu 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, itâs better if you will let the Wanfu Gardenâs people lead you. So that, you wonât be in a place you shouldnât be.â
Princess Fu An said with a very firm heart as if she didnât get affected by Lin Chujiuâs words. She also said those words with full of dignity, but she uses her people to show that Lin Chujiu shouldnât go around the place of someone elseâs home.
Lin Chujiu immediately changed her facial expression and said: âImperial 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 shouldnât wander around someone elseâs home. Which I didnât perform.â
âReally? If you didnât wander around, then why are you here?â Princess Fu An said in irony and full of disdain.
Lin Chujiu frown her eyebrows and said: âImperial sister-in-law, I know watching the scenery in the Water Pavilion is something not allowed to anyone. But, if your servants didnât allow me, do you think I will be here? With Imperial sister-in-lawâs tone, it seems I am not welcome here. And since Imperial sister-in-law doesnât welcome me, then I will go home now.â
Finally, Lin Chujiu found a reason to go away first. So, without a second thought, Lin Chujiu took a step and walk away⦠â¦
âThis, Princess Xiao ⦠â¦â The young misses were dumbfounded. After all, they didnât think that Lin Chujiu will say sheâll go away right in front Princess Fu Anâs face. And at this moment, they were still shocked. Only Cui Furen responded and rushed forward to grab Lin Chujiuâs arm: âPrincess Xiao, please donât get angry. Princess Fu An doesnât mean it that way. Please donât take it to heart.â
If Lin Chujiu left around this time. Then, wouldnât the other people think that they donât know the word hospitality?
âReally? Is that true Imperial sister⦠â¦â Lin Chujiu turn around and look at Princess Fu An. The meaning of her att.i.tude 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? Isnât this simply⦠⦠I donât know!
Princess Fu An really wanted to say to Lin Chujiu: You get out now! But, she canât open her mouth after receiving a warning from her husbandâs 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: âDonât you all want to see the scenery? Letâs go closer, this imperial princess will let all of you take a look.â
Several young misses looked at each otherâs face. For some reason, they donât know what exactly to do.
Cui Furen suddenly felt embarra.s.sed and was stunned⦠â¦
âFuren, let go of my hand now. Iâll go back to Xiao w.a.n.gfu.â Lin Chujiu gently pushed Cui Furenâs hand, then added: âFuren, since I am married to Xiao w.a.n.gfu, I am now Princess Xiao. I always remember my ident.i.ty, every word or action I make represents Xiao w.a.n.gfu. I can be wronged, but I wonât let anyone stepped on Prince Xiaoâs face. I must leave now!â
After hearing those words, a person couldnât 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 didnât give them a face, nor importance.
In regard to this case, Princess Fu An doesnât really need to offend Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao. However, because of Princess Fushou Zhang, she disregards the Cui Familyâs face. She causes trouble to Lin Chujiu multiple times. She completely turns a blind eye to the Cui Familyâs reputation.
With Princess Fu Anâs disregard for the situation, Cui Furen felt a bad premonition inside her heart. She wanted to retort, but she canât open her mouth because she doesnât know what to say.
âPrincess Xiao, Iâm really sorry. It is our Cui Familyâs fault for not receiving you well.â Cui Furen doesnât 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 Familyâs eldest son, so her position is not worst than Princess Fu An.
Lin Chujiu accepted Cui Furenâs apology. She also said enough. So, she nodded her head and smiled: âFuren, I donât feel well. Iâll go back first.â
These words are enough to give Cui Furenâs face. Cui Furen now has a good mood: âPrincess Xiao, I will visit you some other day.â
âGood.â 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.
âThis⦠â¦â What about the birthday banquet?
A birthday banquet is a good event. But after a series of incident and Lin Chujiuâs 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 Anâs ident.i.ty, the other young misses didnât dare to say anything, but the smile on their face didnât return. It was only those aware young misses that helplessly go along.
These young misses donât deserve to see the scenery of the Water Pavilion, for a very long time. But, because Princess Fu An doesnât want her birthday banquet to be destroyed by Lin Chujiuâs departure. She let her guests enjoy the scenery.
The aware young misses didnât 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 Anâs spirit. Hoping she wonât 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 couldnât help but shook her head.
âIâm tired. Iâll go back first to rest.â Cui Furen decided to check out what exactly happened to the Xiaoxang Hall.
Cui Furen didnât bid farewell to anyone and just left quietly⦠â¦

Inside the Xiao w.a.n.gfuâs 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 couldnât calm down himself.
From time to time, he looked up to see Xiao Tianyao. Su Cha wanted to say something, but he doesnât know how to start.
If itâs only once or twice, Xiao Tianyao could endure it. However, he couldnât 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: âSu Cha, if you have something to say, then speak.â
âYes, Su Cha, what is wrong with you?â Liu Bai said, because he also think that Su Chaâs behavior is weird.
âI ⦠â¦â Su Cha opens his mouth, but then stopped. Xiao Tianyao couldnât stand him. So, he picked up his ink brush and no longer paid him attention. However, he heard Su Cha said: âIâm worried about w.a.n.gfei. I felt bad because we used her as a bait. Itâs too dangerous. If Jing Chi wonât arrive in time, what will we do? I donât think Zhou Si will be merciful just because w.a.n.gfei is a woman.â
Uh⦠â¦
Because of Su Chaâs words, the study room had a deafening quietness⦠â¦
