Surrounding the arena, sarcastic voices sounded from everywhere.
Those supporters of Xiao Ruyi were like quails at this moment, huddled in the crowd and did not dare to make a sound.
There was still a glimmer of hope in my heart, but it was shattered because Xiao Ruyi didn't show up.
refute?
How to refute!
If it were Fukawa alone, they could say that he was slandering and that he was spreading rumors and causing trouble because he refused to accept defeat and lost to Miss Xiao Er.
But what about Wu Xuanhou?
He is Xuan Huan's father, and he has come to testify, so this matter is basically true.
"Bah! How blind am I to think of a despicable woman like Xiao Ruyi as a goddess!"
Xiao Ruyi's licking dog couldn't help but spit on him.
He directly announced that he was withdrawing from the ranks of dog lickers.
But there are others who are hesitant.
Perhaps, there is some misunderstanding there?
"Xiao Ruyi was defeated without a fight and was kicked out of the Dragon Ranking. Fukawa entered the Dragon Ranking!" The old voice sounded at the right time, interrupting everyone's discussion.
No one from the Xiao family showed up, not even Xiao Ruyi.
Fukawa won without a fight, returned to the Dragon Ranking, and got back what belonged to him.
On the ring, Ukawa had a sarcastic smile on his lips.
It seemed that he had gained another level of understanding of Xiao Ruyi's shamelessness.
…
In Prince Zhou's Mansion, after hearing the report from his attendants, King Zhou slammed the table angrily. Even Zhao Xingyao, who had just returned home from the palace and was discussing His Majesty's words with his parents, looked ugly.
"What did you say? Xiao Ruyi didn't go to the ring?" King Zhou said angrily.
"yes!"
The attendant bowed and reported everything that happened outside.
"The drums have sounded three times, but the Crown Princess has not appeared, so..."
"Don't call her Crown Princess, she doesn't deserve it!" Zhao Xingyao shouted, interrupting the attendant.
The anger that was finally suppressed in the palace burst out through the window again.
Princess Zhou said "Ouch" and fell into her chair again, humming, "What evil have we done!"
The three members of King Zhou's family all looked very ugly.
Because of what happened yesterday, they don't even dare to leave the house now, for fear of being criticized.
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Ruyi was driven back to the Xiao family, not only did she not properly resolve the trouble she had caused, but she actually added fuel to the fire?
"Now, what do the outsiders say now?" King Zhou asked with a trembling voice.
The attendant gritted his teeth and tactfully modified the comments outside, and then said: "It's all about the world... Miss Xiao Er is despicable and has vicious thoughts. After marrying into the Prince of Zhou's palace and embracing the palace's lap, she even left the ring.
Not good enough..."
The expressions of King Zhou and Zhao Xingyao both changed.
Sure enough, even if they drove Xiao Ruyi back to the Xiao family that day and released the news that they wanted to divorce his wife, in the eyes of the world, she was still the eldest concubine being married by the matchmaker of Prince Zhou's palace!
"Yao'er, you have to handle this matter well." King Zhou looked over with warning eyes.
Zhao Xingyao was first reminded by the emperor in the palace, and now he heard what his father said, and he had an idea in his mind.
He nodded, "I'll go see her."
King Zhou nodded, "First comfort her and resolve the matter. We will talk about the rest later. Yao'er, I have wronged you for a while."
When Zhao Xingyao heard his father say such soft words, he felt even more guilty.
If he hadn't been obsessed and fooled by Xiao Ruyi, he wouldn't be like this now.
No!
All this has nothing to do with their Zhou Prince's Mansion, it's Ning Qingyan!
It was Ning Qingyan who asked him to marry Xiao Ruyi.
‘Aren’t the crown prince and my cousin in love with each other and happy with each other? Therefore, I ask your majesty to help you.’
On the day the engagement was broken off, Ning Qingyan's words still rang in her ears.
Zhao Xingyao almost gritted his teeth before he could control the rage surging in his heart.
At his father's urging, Zhao Xingyao left the house.
The first time he left the palace, he did not go through the main entrance, but through the shopping side door.
Along the way, you even have to avoid pedestrians.
…
In Xiao Mansion, Xiao Ruyi's eyes were dark and unreadable after receiving Zhao Xingyao's letter.
"Ru'er, what did the prince say in the letter?" Xiao Yan asked anxiously from the side.
From yesterday to today, mother and daughter have not left the courtyard.
No one from the Xiao family came to see them.
However, she heard that the Xiao family was planning to drive Xiao Ruyi out.
Anyway, Xiao Ruyi is no longer a member of the Xiao family.
Even those two old immortals encouraged Xiao Lao Er to divorce her!
Therefore, the only life-saving straw that their mother and daughter can grasp now is Prince Zhou's Mansion.
Upon hearing that Zhao Xingyao sent someone to deliver the message, Xiao Yanshi couldn't wait to seize the opportunity.
Xiao Ruyi squeezed the ball of paper tightly and said, "He doesn't want to come to Xiao's house. He asked me to meet outside in half an hour."
"Then go! What are you still hesitating about?" Xiao Yanshi said happily.
While saying this, she hurriedly found clothes and jewelry for her daughter to dress up.
Originally, Xiao Ruyi's things were moved to Prince Zhou's Mansion yesterday, but she was driven back, so her things were sent back intact.
Xiao Yanshi opened the suitcase and rummaged inside. "The prince still likes you very much. What happened yesterday is probably just a moment of anger. Dress up nicely, and when we meet, say some nice words and coax you."
That’s it.”
Xiao Ruyi stared at her mother's back, wondering what she was thinking.
After Xiao Yanshi dressed her up, Xiao Ruyi took the initiative and said, "Mom, please accompany me."
"Me?" Xiao Yanshi was stunned.
She originally thought that this young couple could solve the problem by being intimate with each other, so why should she go?
However, seeing her daughter's uneasy eyes, Xiao Yan's heart softened and she nodded in agreement: "Okay, mother will go with you."
"Thank you, Mom, please drink some water." Xiao Ruyi brought a glass of water and brought it to her mother.
Xiao Yanshi took it happily, "My son is really filial."
Xiao Ruyi lowered his eyes and suppressed the dark light in his eyes.
…
Zhao Xingyao chose a private house as the place to meet Xiao Ruyi.
Xiao Ruyi also came as promised.
When he saw their mother and daughter, Zhao Xingyao was stunned for a moment.
This time, in order to keep a low profile, he didn't even bring a servant. Why did Xiao Ruyi bring her mother?
Xiao Ruyi avoided Zhao Xingyao's questioning eyes, tugged at the corner of her soaked clothes, and said to Zhao Xingyao, "Your Majesty, when I came here just now, I accidentally wet my clothes outside. I'll go and deal with it first."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the room.
Only Xiao Yanshi and Zhao Xingyao were left in the room, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Looking at Zhao Xingyao's livid face, Xiao Yanshi planned to lighten the atmosphere. "Your Highness, Ru'er just had a misunderstanding for a moment. Now that she is aware of her mistake, I hope you don't blame her."
"Since she knows her mistake, why doesn't she go to the ring today?" Zhao Xingyao snorted coldly.
Xiao Yan was about to explain a few words to her daughter when she suddenly felt a cramp in her abdomen.
She said "Ah", covered her stomach and fell to the ground.
Zhao Xingyao was startled, "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." Xiao Yanshi was in so much pain that she couldn't say anything.
"Mom!" Xiao Ruyi came in and saw her mother lying on the ground. She rushed over and held her mother in her arms.
Black blood flowed from the corners of Xiao Yan's lips, and Xiao Ruyi asked sternly: "What dissatisfaction does the prince have in his heart? Even though he came for me, why did he poison my mother to death?"
"!!!" Zhao Xingyao's eyes widened.
Xiao Yanshi's eyes, which were close to Hui Bai, burst out with a shocked and frightening light that focused on Xiao Ruyi.
