Hua Yanxi approached Jiang Wanrou again. Jiang Wanrou was afraid subconsciously and hid behind Gu Xiruo.
Gu Xiruo stretched out her hand to stop Hua Yanxi, her eyes full of disapproval and said: "Fifth Princess, have you thought clearly about the consequences of making things worse in public? If you apologize now, I can still persuade Wanrou to let things go.
.”
"There's no point in apologizing, Hua Yanxi, I will definitely go to the palace and sue you! I will make you die without any body parts!" Jiang Wanrou said fiercely, hiding behind Gu Xiruo.
"Get out of the way." Hua Yanxi said coldly.
Gu Xiruo still stood in front of her: "Fifth Princess, before things get out of hand, I advise you to be gentle with Wanrou to avoid getting into trouble."
There was a strong sense of condescension and superiority in her words, which made people want to step on her face and crush her twice.
"Getting into trouble? The last thing I, Hua Yanxi, fear is getting into trouble, but I would like to ask Miss Gu to tell me what kind of trouble I might get into?" Hua Yanxi looked at her coldly.
"Wanrou is the daughter of a minister and has a distinguished status. It is wrong for you to beat someone like this. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely not let you go. According to the law, beating an official of the imperial court will be punished with sixty years of punishment. Beating his daughter will be punished with half the punishment.
"Gu Xiruo said.
"It seems that Miss Gu is very proficient in the laws of our country. Then I would like to ask Miss Gu what the crime of insulting the royal family is? If I remember correctly, if it is serious, she will be implicated, right?" Hua Yan
Xi sneered.
"This..." Gu Xiruo hesitated, unable to say anything further.
"Don't be alarmist here. What kind of royal family are you? The emperor has long forgotten about him!" Jiang Wanrou said humbly.
"A dragon is always a dragon. I don't need to say more about this, right?" Hua Yanxi smiled and said, "Miss Gu, I'm more curious. Since you were engaged to my husband at the time, why?
, but it was me who married her later, so why did Miss Gu break off the engagement?"
As soon as she said this, Gu Xiruo's eyes dodge, not daring to meet Hua Yanxi.
"Sister Gu, if you have anything to say, tell her, so what? My sister Gu is very talented and beautiful. How can he be a good match for Ye Yibai? When the Gu family broke off the engagement, the emperor was not reluctant at all, so he turned to Gu.
My sister has given a marriage to the eldest son of the Yang family." Jiang Wanrou said proudly: "If this were not the case, even if you are the daughter of a businessman, you are worthy of marrying into the royal family and talking to us. You are not overestimating your abilities."
Gu Xiruo secretly thought that it was not good and stretched out her hand to grab Jiang Wanrou.
Although this is the truth, saying it like this makes the Gu family seem unkind.
Sure enough, Hua Yanxi lengthened her voice and nodded: "I see, I thought that a reasonable person like Miss Gu would pay the most attention to etiquette. Even if her fiancé had an accident, she would still be able to live forever.
But I didn’t expect that after learning about my fiancé’s accident, I immediately broke off the engagement to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages, which was really decisive.”
"That's not what happened." Gu Xiruo said quickly: "My parents ordered me to be a matchmaker, and I just obeyed my father's arrangements."
"Then it seems that Mr. Gu ignored Miss Gu's obstruction and forcibly broke off the engagement with the emperor? He really loves his daughter very much."
After Hua Yanxi finished speaking, the onlookers beside her started talking quietly.
"I heard my mother tell me about this. It was Mr. Gu who went to tell the emperor that Miss Gu refused to marry even if she wanted to die. Mr. Gu had to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement for the sake of his daughter's safety."
"I've also heard about this matter. It turns out that it was Mr. Gu who used Miss Gu's name."
"Miss Gu doesn't look like such a heartless person. I still remember that she had a good relationship with the fifth prince in the past. At that time, the fifth prince was not stupid, and Miss Gu would often go to the palace to accompany Concubine Yu."
Gu Xiruo's expression changed several times as she listened to the discussion next to her, and then she said, "These are all events of the past. Now that you have married the fifth prince, and I have already made a promise to him, there is no need to mention it again, right?"
Hua Yanxi nodded: "I agree with what Miss Gu said, but you have to say this to your good sisters. I don't know whether you didn't remind her or you guys talked about it in private, so she opened her mouth.
Just keep silent and say that you were engaged to the fifth prince. I don't know if you are being stupid or if you are deliberately trying to disgust someone."
"That's enough! Fifth Princess, I respect you, don't go too far!" Gu Xiruo finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily.
"That's better. What I hate the most is those white lotuses who are full of scheming but always talk about being tolerant and kind. What do you want to do? Should you solve it yourself or go home crying and tell your family? I, Hua Yanxi,
I’ll accompany you all.”
"You, you are simply a lunatic!" Gu Xiruo said angrily.
She has never met someone so articulate, unforgiving and shameless.
"It's really a den of snakes and rats, working together, even the curse words are exactly the same. I am a merchant's daughter and I know the pain of avoiding others, but you are just a fool, disrespectful to others, and you have lost all your etiquette and upbringing.
No, I really feel sorry for your teacher."
Gu Xiruo and Jiang Wanrou never imagined that the words spoken by such a good-looking person would be so uncomfortable, without even using curse words.
Jiang Wanyan was so angry that she rushed forward personally, shouting angrily with a ferocious face: "I'll strangle you to death, you little bitch!"
But before she even got close to Hua Yanxi, she felt something hit her knee and she knelt down suddenly.
Hua Yanxi half retracted her hand that she was about to extend, and looked at Jiang Wanrou who was kneeling on the ground, and said in surprise: "This lady really knows her mistakes and can correct them. Since you have knelt down to apologize, then I will ignore the small ones."
I'll forgive you this time."
Gu Xiruo quickly dared to step forward to help her. She also felt something hit her knee and knelt down, exactly in the direction where Hua Yanxi was standing.
"I didn't expect Miss Gu to be so benevolent and righteous. I'm embarrassed to kneel down. Please get up quickly." Although Hua Yanxi didn't know what was going on between the two of them, it didn't stop her from continuing to take advantage of them verbally.
The two of them wanted to get up, but they felt as if their legs weighed a thousand pounds and they couldn't stand up.
"What's going on? Why can't I get up? Why can't I feel my legs?" Jiang Wanrou said in horror, then looked at Hua Yanxi: "What on earth have you done to us!"
Gu Xiruo couldn't maintain her pained expression.
Ye Yibai was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and then suddenly jumped to Hua Yanxi's side: "Why don't you two get up? Yan Yan already said I forgive you, get up quickly, don't block others from doing business here.
