The moment Li Qinyu was about to fall to his feet, Xiao Jin quickly took a step back to avoid any contact with her. He did not even touch her clothes.

“What’s going on?”

Marquis Changan rushed up from behind Xiao Jin. Before he arrived, his attendant had already explained the situation to him. He was somewhat displeased with Su Ying for ruining the banquet he had meticulously prepared, but he was a tactful person, especially when Xiao Jin was also present. He would not offend anyone so easily.

“Lord Marquis, you must help me.” When Mrs. Marquis Changan saw Marquis Changan, it was as if she had seen her pillar of support. She walked over with a frail expression, as though she had suffered a great grievance.

“Alright, tell me slowly. What’s going on? Now that Prince Qi is here, he will definitely help you redress the injustice.” Marquis Changan cleverly pa.s.sed the responsibility to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin ignored the people around him. His gaze was fixed on Su Ying from the beginning to the end. When he saw Su Ying frowning as if she was suppressing her anger, he was displeased immediately.

“Don’t be angry.”

He walked up to Su Ying and spoke in a low voice. As Mrs. Marquis Changan’s cries were too loud, they drowned out his voice.

Su Ying glanced at Xiao Jin. Her eyes were seemingly saying, “It’s hard not to be angry at this.”

“Your Highness, Her Highness has gone too far. Not only did she humiliate me and my mother, she even injured the guards of the Marquis’s Residence.”

Li Qinyu was a little disappointed that she didn’t get to touch Xiao Jin. However, she quickly raised her face which had turned red from being slapped by Bai Shuang, and cried pitifully.

“The… the guards were all beaten up by Her Highness?” Marquis Changan couldn’t quite believe it, but it seemed like there was no one else by Su Ying’s side other than a maidservant who looked even more frail than her.

Xiao Jin lowered his eyes indifferently. “Why did she humiliate you?”

Li Qinyu answered in a trembling voice when she heard Xiao Jin’s question, “Just now, Her Highness. .h.i.t Young Miss Rong. Young Miss Rong is a guest of the Marquis’s Residence today. As the host, 1 cannot possibly let Young Miss Rong be bullied by others, so I came out to say a few words of justice for Young Miss Rong. To my surprise… Her Highness became angry.”

“Then why did she hit Young Miss Rong?” Xiao Jin asked patiently.

“Young Miss Rong was just joking with Her Highness…”

“What kind of joke?”

“It’s… it’s related to the First Prince. Her Highness wanted to know if the First Prince came to the banquet today, but Young Miss Rong told her not to have any more improper thoughts. Her Highness. .h.i.t Young Miss Rong in a fit of anger.”

“I see.”

Li Qinyu raised her head in shock. She did not understand why Xiao Jin could still be so calm after hearing this. As a man, shouldn’t he be extremely furious when he heard that his woman was always chasing another man?

At this moment, Xiao Jue suddenly stood out from the crowd and looked at Xiao Jin with a hint of glee in his eyes.

“This is a misunderstanding. Prince Qi need not be angry. The past between me and Princess Consort Qi can indeed be easily misunderstood.” Who in the capital didn’t know that Su Ying would chase Xiao Jue ail over the place for no reason? Even though she married Xiao Jin, she still did not conduct herself with propriety.

The gossipy genes in the gawkers staring at Xiao Jin and his group surged at once. The three people embroiled in the capital’s scandal were standing here. What kind of sparks would fly?

After Xiao Jue finished speaking, he looked at Su Ying with a gentle and affectionate expression. “If you want to know where I am in the future, you can just come and ask me.”

Just as everyone thought that there was going to be a good show, they heard Su Ying’s frosty voice. “Are you sick? Who wants to know where you are? What have you misunderstood? Can you go look at yourself in your own p.i.s.s? Don’t come too close. I’m afraid you won’t be able to raise your head when you are compared to our Prince Qi.”

Xiao Jue choked and clenched his fists.

Xiao Jin was slightly stunned. What did he just hear?

Our Prince Qi?

Mm-hmm, well said indeed.

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock when Su Ying said this, and their gazes darted back and forth between Xiao Jin and Xiao Jue.

Compared to Xiao Jin, Xiao Jue looked much more frail and weaker. When he stood in front of Xiao Jin, his height was considerably lower.

“So they were beaten up because they spread rumors about Princess Consort Qi?” Xiao Jin said indifferently, his dark eyes gradually turning icy.

“Your Highness, it’s not like this. Princess Consort Qi is… the First Prince…”

“Is what? I don’t beat women, but Her Highness can.” Xiao Jin’s deep, dark eyes were like an invisible mountain pressing down on Li Qinyu’s heart. She was so scared that the rest of her words were stuck in her throat.

“Princess Consort Qi just beat up so many people from the Marquis’s Residence for no reason.” Mrs. Marquis Changan was extremely furious when she saw Xiao Jin siding with Su Ying.

Xiao Jin frowned slightly and looked at Su Ying. “You don’t have to do this yourself next time. Just let the guards do it.”

Su Ying shook her hands nonchalantly. “1’11 just treat it as stretching my muscles.”

Everyone was shocked and angry when they heard the couple’s arrogant words that did not show any respect for them.

“Lord Marquis…”

Marquis Changan patted Mrs. Marquis Changan’s hand rea.s.suringly. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.”

“Prince Qi, Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding. The roasted lamb should be done by now. May I invite Your Highness to take your seat?” “Misunderstanding? Marquis Changan, you think that humiliating and spreading rumors about my Consort is a misunderstanding?”

Marquis Changan’s eyes turned sharp. He was already giving them a graceful exit by saying this, but Xiao Jin still refused to let matters rest. Wasn’t he simply showing no respect for the Marquis’s Residence at all?

“Then what does Your Highness want?”

“Tell everyone who has humiliated the Princess Consort to come and kowtow to Her Highness and admit his guilt. Her Highness will decide whether to forgive them or not.”

Rong Mingxi had just recovered from her shock. She would rather die than kowtow to Su Ying!

Li Qinyu also gritted her teeth. Su Ying was not worthy to have Li Qinyu kowtowing to her!

Xiao Jin pulled Su Ying to a chair and sat down calmly.

“If they don’t admit their mistake, then punish them according to the crime of spreading rumors and slander.”

Xiao Jue glared at Xiao Jin. “Prince Qi is really impressive!”

Xiao Jin’s dark eyes narrowed. “I will naturally protect my Princess Consort. It’s not your place to tell me what to do.”

Marquis Changan forced a smile and said, “Isn’t it unfair for Your Highness to do this?”

Xiao Jin’s lips curled up slightly. “Unfair? Today, I will let you know what fairness is. Men! Take down the people who spread rumors about Her Highness and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice. I suspect that they are trying to sow discord between me and Her Highness and harbor unfathomable motives.”

The Imperial Guards behind Xiao Jin went forward and surrounded Rong Mingxi and the others.

Rong Mingxi’s expression changed drastically. If she was arrested by the Imperial Guards, she would be sent to the Ministry of Justice. Even if she was not guilty, her reputation would be affected.

“No, don’t arrest me. 1 didn’t do anything wrong!”

The expressions of the people from the Marquis’s Residence also turned unsightly.

However, Xiao Jin’s att.i.tude was unyielding and had no room for them to object at all.

“Xiao Jin, you’ve gone too far!” Xiao Jue roared in fury.

Xiao Jin didn’t care about the nonsense from these people and gave the order to take action.

“You… you guys are too much. Do you still respect the law?” Mrs. Marquis Changan lost control and yelled as she struggled.

When he saw that Xiao Jin was serious, Marquis Changan couldn’t help feeling worried. He softened his att.i.tude and stepped forward. “Your Highnesses, please calm down. This is all a misunderstanding. 1’11 get them to apologize to Her Highness.. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to Her Highness!”
