The sickly fox demon is not easy to tease

Nan Xingyu held his sword in his hand, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and asked, "Sister, what should we do with her?"

Nan Xingchen curled his lips slightly: "Xingyu, she is not from our Nan Palace, of course she should be driven out!"

Shi Zhi was so angry that her teeth were bared, and her former image of a gentle lady was completely ruined.

She endured the pain and said angrily: "Nan Xingchen, how dare you treat me like this?"

Nan Xingchen couldn't help but laugh: "How did you treat me on the cliff that day? No matter how cruel I am, I can't be even one ten-thousandth as cruel as you, right?"

Shi Zhi choked, recalling the tragic scene in the Soul-Devouring Forest at that time, and when Nan Xingchen was shot through the chest by an arrow, he looked back at her with a look of pain and despair.

She clenched her fists, hating herself for not being cruel enough, allowing the bitch to escape death.

She hated him so much, wondering why he didn't shoot her a few more arrows at that time and wait until her body was cold before throwing it off the cliff.

More than a dozen secret guards carried Shi Zhi and others and threw them onto the street without any courtesy.

Nan Lijun, who had been watching from a distance, stroked his beard and smiled.

In the past, he always felt that his granddaughter was too weak and was always bullied by others. Now it seems that he was wrong.

Suddenly a few people were thrown out on the street, and passers-by stopped and started talking.

One of the women asked, "Who are these people?"

After looking at the others, another woman pointed at Shi Zhi and said, "I know this person. She seems to be a lady from the Shi Mansion?"

Shi Zhi was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. She had never suffered such humiliation before. She quickly raised her hands and covered her face with her sleeves.

Another old lady frowned and asked, "But who did you offend? Why were you thrown into the street?"

Gan Tang felt that her young lady was particularly proud today, and she said arrogantly:

"This person is none other than Shi Zhi, the legitimate daughter of the Shi family. She stole my young lady's clothes and jewelry. She is forbidden to enter our Nanwang Mansion from now on. Our young lady will never befriend someone with such bad character!"

Everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces, their eyes wide open. This kind of excitement is not something you can see every day.

That Miss Shifu, who is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has one of the best character and appearance in Kyoto, actually steals?

Look at how miserable Shi Zhi was after being beaten. Everyone knows that the young lady of Prince Nan's Mansion is a useless person who can't practice cultivation. She is cowardly and can be bullied. If the young lady of Shi Mansion hadn't really stolen and forced the honest man into a corner, how could she be beaten like this?

"My young lady said that these jewels were touched by you and are dirty. Since you like them so much, I will give them to you. Don't do such a despicable thing as stealing again!"

Gan Tang threw the hairpin necklace in his hand to Shi Zhi with a "pop".

Shi Zhi was so angry that she almost died. How dare that bitch Nan Xingchen slander her for stealing?

These jewels were given to her willingly by that bitch.

"I didn't steal. Nan Xingchen slandered me. Don't be fooled by her."

Shi Zhi tried hard to prop herself up with her hands, tears falling down her face, and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

Her maid Qinglian wiped her tears and echoed: "Our young lady is kind-hearted. We came to visit her with medicine with good intentions. Who knew that she would be so ungrateful and beat us up like this, insulted us in every way, and threw us on the street... Woo woo woo, it's really unfair..."

Shi Zhi's body was shaking with tears. She continued, "I am really wronged. No matter how poor our Shi family is, I, Shi Zhi, would never be reduced to stealing her jewelry."

She wiped her tears and said pitifully, "I always thought of her as my own sister. That day in the Soul Devouring Forest, I went with her to capture spirit beasts, but she left me and ran away alone. As a result, I was scratched by the spirit beast."

Everyone looked at the wounds on her face and saw that they were indeed scratched by a spirit beast.

When Shi Zhi saw that everyone believed her, a gloomy expression appeared in her eyes, but it disappeared from her face in an instant.

Immediately, tears as big as beans rolled down her face. She said in a trembling voice as if she had suffered a great injustice:

"For hundreds of years, I, Shi Zhi, have always taken good care of Nan Xingchen and treated her sincerely. I came to visit her with an injured body and elixirs, but she beat and scolded me and drove me out. She even accused me of stealing!"

She paused and shouted to everyone, "In the bright and clear world and under the shining sun and moon, I, Shi Zhi, have suffered such a great humiliation today. I have no face to live in this world. It is better to die and put an end to it all."

Shi Zhi's image in the minds of the people in Kyoto is already higher than Nan Xingchen's. After her indignant remarks, there was a burst of discussion among the crowd.

Many people spoke up for her.

Shi Zhi's maid Qinglian wiped her nose and staggered to her feet.

She said confidently: "Every word my young lady said is true. The medicine in my hand is the evidence."

She took a deep breath and shouted, "Today, that loser must apologize to my lady in public."

The crowd immediately exploded.

"Isn't this too much of a bully? Look at how badly they beat him up and threw him out of Prince Nan's mansion."

"Over the years, the Nanwang Mansion has fallen into decline. That good-for-nothing Nan Xingchen has been fawning over Miss Shi all day long. Who in Kyoto doesn't know about this?"

"That idiot's conscience has really been eaten by dogs. We must all ask Miss Shifu for an explanation today..."

"Yes, that bastard must come out and apologize!"

"Nan Xingchen, come out and apologize immediately."

"Apologise, apologize..."

……

The crowd on the street started shouting, and more and more passers-by, who did not know the truth, began to shout along.

A triumphant smile appeared on Shi Zhi's lips. That bitch Nan Xingchen was too naive to want to fight with her.

She and Qinglian looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly and continued to act together.

Shi Zhi took a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, crying and saying, "Forget it, forget it. As long as everyone believes that I am innocent, I won't bother with her."

Qinglian held her young lady's arm and said, "Young lady, you are too kind-hearted. We have suffered such a great loss today. We can't just let it go."

The originally quiet crowd suddenly became excited again.

"We can't just let it go like this. Is the Nanwang Mansion rebelling?"

"The Southern Palace is no longer what it used to be. How dare anyone in the court be so rampant?"

"That's right, that's right, we must seek justice for Miss Shifu."

"Nan Xingchen, come out and apologize!"

"Apologise, apologize..."

……

The deafening cries of condemnation seemed to have the power to break down the gate of Prince Nan’s Palace!

Shi Zhi covered her face with a handkerchief and continued to wipe her tears, hiding the sinister look in her eyes.

Gan Tang held the wooden box in both hands and walked slowly towards the door. Seeing more and more people gathered at the door, she calmly raised her hands and applauded.

She cleared her throat and said crisply, "Ms. Shi Zhi brought her maids and secret guards to the gate of our Nanwang Mansion today and put on a big show. Our lady said that it should be a reward!"

She lifted up the wooden box in her hand, and inside was a box full of copper coins. She calmly raised her hand and threw the coins towards Shi Zhi and the others.

For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the clinking of coins hitting the ground.
