Adhere to the gentleman's principles

The atmosphere in Yuelai Inn was extremely tense. Xiao Yumiao sat at the table, drinking tea slowly. Her movements were elegant and calm, forming a sharp contrast with the tense atmosphere around her.

Luzhi looked at Xiao Yumiao in confusion and asked doubtfully, "Princess, we have already delivered the message. Aren't you going to stop caring about this matter? Why are you still..."

Xiao Yumiao gently put down the teacup, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of helplessness and contempt. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom.

She said softly, "Xiao Yufu is so stupid. It's a misfortune for the royal family that I have such a sister. Lord Li is deeply in love with Zhao Junning, but now he is framed by Xiao Yufu. What choice do you think Li Ziyan will make?" Her voice was calm with a hint of sadness, as if she had seen through it all.

"He can't hit the princess, can he?" Luzhi's tone was filled with doubt, and his eyes revealed his disbelief at this possibility.

Xiao Yumiao chuckled and responded, "Of course he wouldn't, but I have known Li Ziyan and Zhao Junning for a long time. They have both been protective of their children since childhood. From the last incident, it can be seen how much Li Ziyan values ​​Zhao Junning. Now that Zhao Junning has been kidnapped, and by the disgusting Wudaozhai, what do you think Li Ziyan will do?"

Luzhi shook her head, a bewildered look on her face: "I don't know."

"Actually, I don't know either." There was a hint of helplessness in Xiao Yumiao's voice. "Li Ziyan never has any signs when doing things, and he never plays by the rules. Let's just treat it as a show, add fuel to the fire, and see how it will develop." There was a gleam of curiosity in her eyes, and she seemed to be full of anticipation for what would happen next.

Xiao Yufu was leaning on the bench and saw Li Ziyan walking towards her. She couldn't help feeling happy, but she still pretended to be arrogant and said coquettishly, "Li Ziyan, why did you come to see me? I said I don't want to see you." However, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a hint of joy that was hard to conceal.

Just as she was about to approach Li Ziyan, he suddenly pulled out his knife and stabbed it fiercely into the ground. His momentum was like a tiger descending from a mountain, which made people shudder. Xiao Yufu was frightened by this sudden action, her face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Li Ziyan, what are you doing? Bringing a knife here, do you want to assassinate me?"

At this moment, Li Ziyan's eyes were burning with anger. He held the knife tightly, glared at Xiao Yufu, and said sternly, "Princess, are you still afraid?" Xiao Yufu's heart was panicked. She had never seen Li Ziyan so angry before. She couldn't help but take a step back. "What do you mean? A knife is standing in front of me, how can I not be afraid?"

Li Ziyan chuckled, his tone full of sarcasm: "Yes, Princess, you are afraid? How can someone like you be afraid?" Xiao Yufu was immediately furious when she heard this. She straightened her body, widened her eyes, and responded: "What kind of person am I?" Li Ziyan's eyes were like knives, piercing Xiao Yufu directly. His voice was cold and firm: "You are a petty person who compares yourself with others."

Okay, here is the expanded content:

Xiao Yufu had a bad temper to begin with, and now she was even more furious. She widened her eyes and said angrily, "Li Ziyan, I am a princess, how dare you disrespect me?"

Li Ziyan's tone was cold and sharp: "So what if you're a princess? Why should I respect a princess who has no ability? Which of the girls in Wei is not better than you? You only have the identity of a princess, but you don't take on the responsibilities that a princess should have. Why should I respect a princess like you?"

The back and forth verbal stimulation was like sparks splashing into a gunpowder barrel. Xiao Yufu's anger was instantly ignited. She was so angry that her face turned red. She shouted angrily: "Li Ziyan, you...what's so good about your Zhao Junning? She has been praised by everyone since she was a child. Doesn't she still need protection? And now? Hasn't she been kidnapped by bandits?

Maybe she has already lost her innocence! Besides, I am a princess. How dare you compare me with those ordinary Wei women? Why? What qualifications does Zhao Junning have? Isn't it just that her father has some power and some military authority? So what? After all, this world belongs to our Xiao family. All of you, including you and her, are just slaves of our family!"

Li Ziyan looked at Xiao Yufu calmly, without any ripples in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger. Xiao Yufu then realized that she had accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and her face turned pale instantly, her heart filled with fear and uneasiness.

Li Ziyan's voice was cold and firm, as if carrying an irresistible force, and he asked, "Who captured Jun Ning?" His tone revealed a hint of anger and anxiety. Then, he became more and more emotional, and said angrily, "You'd better pray that she is okay. If she is injured, even if she only loses a hair, no matter if you are a princess, I will never let you off easily."

Xiao Yufu's body was shaking. She tried to use her identity as a princess to threaten Li Ziyan, and said tremblingly: "You...you dare, I am the princess of this dynasty and the most beloved daughter of my father, you dare not do anything to me." However, her voice was full of guilt and fear.

Li Ziyan chuckled, and his laughter was full of disdain and ridicule. His eyes became sharper, as if they could penetrate Xiao Yufu's heart. He said, "Why wouldn't I dare? I even dared to hit your brother, do you think I'm afraid of you? How many people in the whole Wei Dynasty know the ridiculous things I, Li Ziyan, have done? So what if you are a princess? No matter how noble your status is, it can't be an excuse for you to hurt others.

If you touch someone you shouldn't, you have to pay the price. I can tell you clearly that I married Jun Ning with a sedan chair and a red dress. She is the girl I hold in my hands and the most important person in my life. If something happens to her today..." His voice gradually became low, full of sadness and determination.
