Hearing Hu's disrespectful words, Fan Qi's heart started beating wildly, and he shouted angrily: "Stupid woman, shut up!"

"How many heads do you have for offending Princess Yu?!"

Hu's eyes moved back and forth between Su Yinyue and Huamei, and she looked at Fan Qi with the last glimmer of hope, "Husband, did you hear wrong?"

"There are so many hairpins and rings on Huamei's head. How can Princess Yu tolerate such a servant who is disrespectful and has no respect for his superiors?"

Nowadays women like luxury and wear numerous pearl and jade hairpins and rings on their heads. Many ladies from wealthy families would give gifts as rewards by simply plucking a hairpin from their heads.

Although Su Yinyue felt that too many jewelry and ornaments were a nuisance, she didn't want to stand out from the crowd.

It happened that Huamei was freed from slavery, so she was allowed to dress up at public expense. Whenever someone needed jewelry as a gift, they would just pick it from Huamei's head.

Su Yinyue's status was such that she seldom needed to give away jewelry, but she often gave rewards to servants. For such a long time, she had never made a mistake.

Today she met Mrs. Hu, who knew Huamei. When she saw that the two of them dressed similarly, she immediately preconceived that Su Yinyue was a bitch who seduced her husband.

I am a lowly woman and I do business. Of course, Mrs. Hu will not be polite to a lowly concubine.

Fan Qi was so angry at Hu's questioning that he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Princess Yu has her own reasons for doing things, and it's not your turn to make irresponsible comments!"

"Immediately kowtow to the princess and admit your mistake."

Mrs. Hu's breathing stagnated. She caught a glimpse of her husband's friend being stopped two meters away by a sword and not daring to take a single step forward.

My husband's good friend is also an official in the court, and his official position is one level higher...

Could it be that the woman in front of me is really Princess Yu?

The chill spread from the soles of her feet upwards. Hu realized it belatedly and felt scared. She said in a trembling voice, "I am not being disrespectful to the princess. It's because of Huamei..."

"Hua Mei was once a concubine of the Fan family. Because she did something wrong, she was confined by the ministers to reflect on her actions. But she did not repent and actually escaped at night!"

"Just now, I saw Huamei appearing in the teahouse. I mistakenly thought that she knew that my husband would come to the teahouse with his friends today, and she dressed like this to seduce my husband and return to the Fan Mansion."

"How can I let Huamei, a runaway concubine, bring disgrace to the family when my husband is gathering with his friends? I thought of taking Huamei back to the Fan residence to discipline her, but I didn't know that the princess was also there..."

"I was blind and didn't recognize the princess. Ignorance is not a crime. Please forgive me, princess."

There was silence in the field, and Su Yinyue became the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone wanted to know how she would handle it.

Su Yinyue walked up to her and said calmly, "You don't know Hua Pipa, right?"

This time, Mrs. Hu did not dare to deliberately misinterpret Su Yinyue's words to provoke her, and explained repeatedly.

"I have never met this Hua Pipa before, and I know nothing about her schemes. I beg the princess to understand."

Su Yinyue was silent for a moment, then asked Huamei, "What do you think?"

Hu's heart suddenly tightened, fearing that Huamei would take revenge on her.

"My princess, I think they are not lying." Huamei said truthfully, "We know where they live anyway. If they are really involved, we can summon them at any time."

The princess's focus this time was not on the Fan couple, and getting entangled with these two people would only be a waste of time.

"You have a point." Su Yinyue turned her head and looked at the Fan Qi couple, "Remember, Huamei is my darling, no longer a concubine in the Fan Mansion, don't bother her again."

Fan Qi and the other man responded in unison.

Su Yinyue asked again: "Master Fan, who do you think is at fault for what happened today?"

Fan Qi's body stiffened, realizing that Princess Yu asked this question because she didn't want the matter to spread to the court and cause a disturbance.

"It is my fault. I disturbed the princess and I deserve the punishment."

Su Yinyue was satisfied with what she heard. "Since you know you are wrong, then compensate the teahouse for its losses."

Fan Qi felt a lump in his throat, and dared not object, "Yes."

"You two can leave now."

Fan Qiru was pardoned, "I thank the princess for her generosity."

The guard released the two men at the right time.

The servants of the Fan family hurried forward to help the two men up, and they left the teahouse with the shopkeeper's respectful farewell.

The onlookers saw that the biggest excitement was over and returned to their seats with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

A small number of people waited on the side, planning to wait for Su Yinyue to finish dealing with the matter before going forward to pay their respects and make themselves familiar with her.

Plum Blossom Courtyard.

Hua Pipa looked up at Su Yinyue and said through gritted teeth, "Princess, I am innocent now, right?"

Su Yinyue did not show shame as she expected, but chuckled twice and asked back: "Do you really think you are not wrong?"

Hua Pipa was so angry that she laughed, "Mrs. Fan came for Huamei, what did I do wrong?"

"Princess, do you want to put the blame of not being strict with your subordinates on me?"

Huamei opened her mouth to explain, but Su Yinyue raised her hand to stop her.

Life is not easy, Su Yinyue never blames herself, and said confidently: "If you don't ask me out, will you meet that Madam Fan?"

"If you don't dress me up like this, will Mrs. Fan admit her mistake?"

"Fan Qi came to my door, and as my martial arts master, you stood by and watched. Is that right?"

Hua Pipa was stunned by her series of accusations, then her anger rose and she opened her mouth to refute.

A second before she spoke, she met Huamei's cold eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person, and the expressionless guards around her.

At this moment, she is Princess Yu's prisoner, not a guest of honor.

Hua Pipa immediately understood her situation and said, "Princess, you are right. I know I am wrong."

"Since you know you're wrong, don't make the same mistake again."

Hua Pipa's eyes turned red from frustration, but she had to smile and agree.

Su Yinyue personally helped her up from the ground, smiling gently and kindly, not holding grudges against her, "You are seriously injured, do you want to go back and rest?"

In order to get Su Yinyue to leave the house, Hua Pipa took out the secret book and was beaten.

If we go back now, wouldn't we lose both the wife and the army?

"This minor injury is not a big deal. I just hope that I didn't ruin the princess's mood for viewing the scenery."

Hearing the implication of her words, Su Yinyue's eyes darkened. It has come to this, and you still don't give up?

"Master Hua, since you still want to enjoy the scenery, let's go."

Hua Pipa glanced at the guards who put away their swords and followed him out, and hesitated to speak, "...Should we let them go back?"

Su Yinyue said without even turning her head: "It's lively when there are many people. I like lively places."

Hua Pipa took a deep breath and followed.

Before leaving the teahouse, she looked up at a private room on the second floor with closed windows.

After this incident, he probably already knew Su Yinyue's identity and wouldn't fall for it again.

Fortunately, she had a backup plan.

"Groove, rove."

The carriage drove out of the city gate and came to the outside of the city.

In early winter, the grass and trees withered, and there were few people around, and the whole place was desolate.

Ye Qing knocked on the wall of the car, reminding Su Yinyue who was sitting inside, "Princess, we are getting further and further off the track, do you still want to keep going?"

Hua Pipa lifted the carriage curtain and said, "We haven't reached the destination yet, let's go forward."

A quarter of an hour later, a woman stumbled out of the woods and ran in front of the carriage.

"Help!"

Su Yinyue, who was leaning against the car wall with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes, and her vision was clear.

The people arranged by Hua Pipa finally arrived.
