The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by a man in gorgeous clothes not far away. He was followed by two guards, staring at everything happening in front of them with a smile. Seeing this, Xiao Anning was shocked and bowed and said, "Your Highness, the King of Qi." The people around also saluted the King of Qi in unison.

The King of Qi waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up. Then, he looked at Xiao An Ning and said slowly: "It's so noisy here, I wonder what happened between Miss Xiao Er and Miss Song?" Facing the King of Qi's question, Xiao An Ning hadn't answered yet, and Song Ru on the side couldn't hold back, and squeezed in front of the King of Qi anxiously, crying: "Your Highness, please make a decision for me! I just said a few words casually, but Miss Xiao Er actually started to fight. Look at my cheek... wuwuwu..." As she spoke, Song Ru cried bitterly, looking pitiful and wronged.

However, the King of Qi's expression did not change because of Song Ru's crying. Instead, he showed a trace of barely perceptible annoyance. He glanced at Song Ru's hypocritical face, sighed softly, and said calmly: "Miss Song, do you think that I am blind?"

This unexpected response made Song Ru's eyes widen in shock. Obviously, she had never expected that the King of Qi would expose her lies so bluntly. "Your Highness the King of Qi..." Song Ru still tried to continue to defend herself, but as soon as she said this, Xie Tianqi raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Miss Song, I have been drinking tea opposite you. I have noticed Miss Xiao and Captain Su since they met, but I did not see any behavior between them that went beyond the rules and etiquette. However, Miss Song started by insulting others' innocence, and now she pretends to be pitiful and wronged to turn the tables. She is really well-educated!" Xie Tianqi's words were very sharp and he did not show any mercy to Song Ru at all.

Song Ru's eyes were red, tears welled up in her eyes, and it seemed that she would fall at any time. She looked so weak and frail, as if she would fall down at the slightest gust of wind. It was really ridiculous. "Your Highness, I really saw Miss Xiao's misconduct with my own eyes, so I couldn't help but speak out to dissuade her..." This Song Ru was really determined to do something, and even now she was trying to slander Xiao An Ning.

Xie Tianqi calmly took a few steps back, distanced himself from Song Ru, then glanced coldly at the crowd watching the excitement, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, is there anyone else who saw it? Why not stand up and speak." His eyes were like sharp blades, causing many people to lower their heads involuntarily.

However, there are always righteous people in the world. Someone immediately stood up and said, "Your Highness, we can prove that there is no discord between Miss Xiao and Captain Su..." With the first person taking the lead, many others followed suit.

Xie Tianqi's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Miss Song, now that things have come to this, don't you have anything to explain?"

Song Ru's eyes were filled with tears. She sobbed and defended herself, "That's not the case, Your Highness Prince Qi. They must be afraid of the power of the General's Mansion and dare not tell the truth. Please don't be deceived by them..."

Xiao Anning, who was standing aside, was already shaking with anger. If Xiao Tao hadn't held her tightly, she would have rushed forward to argue with Song Ru.

"Enough!" Xie Tianqi could no longer bear it, and interrupted Song Ru's crying with an angry shout, "Marquis Wenxin really taught his daughter well, and the famous ladies are embarrassed! Miss Xiao, you have been wronged today. I will write to my father and make sure to give justice to Miss Xiao."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Qi, for your justice and wisdom!" Xiao An Ning burst into tears of gratitude and bowed quickly.

Xie Tianqi nodded slightly to indicate his response, then turned his attention to Su Lun and asked with a slightly curious tone: "May I ask if you are the Captain Su who saved my brother's life before?"

Hearing this, Su Lun did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and quickly bowed and replied: "Your Highness, Prince Qi, I am Su Lun, and I am honored to meet you, Your Highness."

"I have long heard of Captain Su's reputation, and today I am able to see him with my own eyes. He is indeed a handsome man! I wonder if you two are busy right now. If you have free time, could you please honor me by having lunch with me?" Xie Tianqi invited them enthusiastically.

Upon hearing this, Xiao An Ning immediately leaned forward and performed a standard courtesy, politely declining, "Today, I am grateful to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi for standing up and upholding justice. When I return home, I will report everything that happened here to my father. One day I will definitely visit the Prince of Qi's residence to express my gratitude. It is really inconvenient to bother His Royal Highness today, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi will forgive me. Farewell."

After hearing this, Xie Tianqi waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile: "I just can't stand those who confuse right and wrong and distort the facts. It's just a small matter. There's no need to thank you. Since the second lady and Captain Su have other important matters to deal with, I won't force it. See you later!"

Xiao An Ning and Su Lun bowed to Xie Tianqi again and said goodbye. They completely ignored Song Ru who was still crying beside them. When they could no longer see the figures of King Qi and his men, they quickly left this place of trouble.

"Captain Su, I'm really ashamed. I never expected to meet a lunatic like Song Ru. I just rejected the invitation from His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. Why don't we go to Zuixianlou another day?" Xiao Anning said softly with an apologetic look on her face. At this moment, her originally happy mood had disappeared without a trace.

"Second Miss, I am the one who should apologize. It was Su who implicated your reputation..." Su Lun interrupted hurriedly, his words full of sincerity and self-blame.

"No, no," Xiao An Ning shook her head and waved her right hand, and continued, "Don't take Song Ru's words to heart. She is just a mad dog that bites people randomly. You just arrived in the capital, and you may not know much about the Wenxin Marquis Mansion. There are really few people with normal behavior..." Then, Xiao An Ning briefly described what the ladies of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion did. After listening, even Su Lun couldn't help but be shocked.

Seeing Xiao An Ning's unhappy expression, Su Lun's heart moved, and an idea came to his mind: "I have a little knowledge of cooking. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to invite Miss Second to visit my humble home. At that time, Su will definitely cook a few dishes and exquisite snacks for you personally. What do you think?"

Xiao An Ning's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Really? You can cook? Why not today?" Xiao An Ning, who had been listless, suddenly became energetic, as if he had been revived.

"That's fine. Maybe there are some things in the mansion that are not yet fully prepared. Why don't we go back first? If there is anything missing, we can purchase it in time." Su Lun nodded and suggested.

"Okay, then let's go back quickly." Xiao An Ning nodded repeatedly, and the group immediately got on the carriage and slowly headed towards the Su Mansion.

The King of Qi did not go far. He stood quietly not far away, watching the scene in front of him with a playful smile on his face: "Haha, it's quite interesting. Today's trip is not in vain."

Wu Baizhou, the confidant beside him, was puzzled. He really didn't understand why the King of Qi wanted to stand up for Miss Xiao Er. In his opinion, Miss Xiao Er didn't seem to be grateful... He thought about it in his heart and asked unconsciously.

"Stand out? I just can't stand the way the Wenxin Marquis's mansion behaves..." Xie Tianqi said casually, as if he didn't care. Wu Baizhou didn't dare to say anything more, but he was secretly wondering in his heart, when did the prince become so kind? But as a subordinate, he knew that it was better not to ask about some things. "It seems that the Wenxin Marquis's mansion is indeed about to run out of luck." Wu Baizhou sighed softly.

Xie Tianqi sneered when he heard this. The Wenxin Marquis Mansion had long since fallen into decline, so there was nothing to fear. However, the person who had just followed Su Lun, if he was not mistaken, was originally a guard of the Eastern Palace. It seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued Su Lun very much...
