The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Li Yueran smiled even more broadly, and walked into the pavilion with her maid with light lotus steps.

"Thank you Miss Xu for the invitation."

She sat down slightly sideways, her eyes sweeping over the snacks on the stone table.

"These snacks look exquisite and delicious. I think the Princess Mansion really put a lot of effort into this reception."

Xu Keke also sat down and gently waved the round fan in her hand.

"Indeed, I just tried a few pieces and they tasted very good. Miss Li, please try some too."

As he said that, he pushed the snacks towards Li Yueran.

Li Yueran picked up a piece, took a bite, and nodded in praise.

"Mm, sweet but not greasy, with a delicate taste."

As he was speaking, a burst of laughter came from the side.

It turned out that there were seven or eight young ladies walking together. The one leading them was wearing a goose yellow dress, with jewels and pearls swaying on her hair, and her face was full of pride.

She glanced at Xu Keke and Li Yueran and snorted.

"Whose families are these two young ladies? Why have I never seen them before?"

A woman in a purple dress stepped forward behind her and replied:

"Ms. Wei, the one wearing the moon-white daffodil dress is Xu Keke."

The woman who spoke was Xu Yuanyuan.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the young ladies turned around and looked over.

Is she the rumored first appetizer of the Regent?

Immediately start criticizing and criticizing the license.

"Is she Xu Keke? She's not that good looking! Only this dress is pretty good."

"That's right, she looks like a foxy girl. At first glance, she's a big-breasted, brainless, low-class person."

Xu Keke put away the round fan in her hand and was about to speak.

Li Yueran stood up first.

"Ladies, you have never met us before, so it's normal that you don't know us. However, I'm afraid that judging us like this is unbecoming of a lady from a noble family."

Miss Wei's face turned serious and she spoke with disdain.

"Who are you? How dare you speak to me like that!"

Li Yueran was neither humble nor arrogant.

"I am Li Yueran, daughter of Prime Minister Li. I just returned to the capital a few days ago. I didn't realize that the circle of noble ladies in the capital is so exclusive nowadays."

Xu Yuanyuan was fanning the flames.

"Miss Wei, don't bother with them. They are just two people who are not presentable."

Li Yueran was so angry that she laughed. After all, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister, but she was described as unpresentable by the woman in front of her.

She took a step forward and looked at Wishing with a sneer.

"May I ask which family you are from and which table you are sitting on?"

Xu Yuanyuan choked. She was just a lackey of the Duke's daughter at this moment...

"She can't sit on any platform, she's only fit to lie on the ground."

As Xu Keke spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed to Xu Yuanyuan.

He swept Xu Yuanyuan to the ground with a kick and then straddled her and attacked her left and right.

The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, as if it had been planned long ago.

Dingdang was stunned for a moment. Why did the lady attack again?

After reacting, he quickly stepped forward to defend the young lady, fearing that his young lady would suffer a loss.

"Ouch!"

Xu Yuanyuan was beaten and screamed in pain.

The ladies around were stunned by this sudden change.

Miss Wei was the first to react and pointed angrily at Xu Keke who was still slapping Xu Yuanyuan.

"You, you, you, how dare you act wildly in the princess's mansion!"

Xu Keke kept moving her hands and looked fearless.

"She was the one who pushed me down from the third floor, causing me to bump into the Regent. I said I'd beat her up every time I saw her, and it was just a coincidence that I ran into her again today."

What did she say? Was it Xuyuan who pushed her down the stairs?

Miss Wei was stunned by Xu Keke's words, but she quickly came to her senses and shouted loudly.

"Even if she was at fault first, it's not your turn to act like a spoiled brat in the Princess's Mansion!"

Making a wish while being beaten and having no time to talk back...

Miss Wei, are you really speaking up for me?

This sounded more like confirmation of what she had done.

Xu Keke turned around and glared at Miss Wei.

"This young lady is so easy to talk about! Haven't you heard that if you don't understand their suffering, don't try to persuade them to do good? How does this young lady's handling of a personal grudge get in your way?"

Ms. Wei...

The other young ladies had also recovered from their shock by now and were whispering to each other.

"This Xu Ke is too ruthless. He actually hit someone in public like this."

"But is it true what she said about wishing to push her down the stairs?"

"It seems like this is a real thing. Who would jump from the third floor for no reason?"

"That's right. Look at Xu Yuanyuan, she didn't dare to deny it."

Xu Yuanyuan also wanted to defend herself, but unfortunately she was beaten by Xu Keke and couldn't fight back.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Li Yueran hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Keke's arm, and tried to persuade her.

"Miss Xu, please stop fighting. Don't make things out of control."

Xu Keke then stopped, stood up, and glared at Xu Yuanyuan, who was lying on the ground with a bruised face.

"You pushed me down the stairs, so what if I beat you up a few times? What's wrong with that?"

Xu Yuanyuan covered her face with her hands, fearing that others would see her ugly appearance.

Dingdang pulled Xu Keke aside and whispered in her ear.

"Miss, I'm afraid your beating will cause a lot of trouble."

At this time, some of the young ladies who had been silent began to murmur.

"This Xu Ke is so fierce. Does the Regent like this?"

The voice of this sentence was not small, and the noble ladies around heard it. They all fell silent, as if thinking about something.

In the highest pavilion in the princess's garden.

Princess Jianning took the newly made telescope magnifying glass from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and watched the scene that had just happened.

She turned to look at the Regent Chu Musheng who was standing proudly a few steps away from her.

"Mu Sheng, is this your sweetheart? Miss Xu is so fierce, can you handle it?"

Chu Musheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of indulgence in his eyes.

"You're joking, sister. This Miss Xu Ke is very useful to me."

Princess Jianning chuckled and waved the round fan in her hand.

"You must have seen so many well-behaved ladies from noble families that you appreciate the uniqueness of someone who fights over a disagreement."

Chu Musheng looked at Xu Keke in the distance.

"The woman who was beaten has no grudges. It was indeed she who caused Miss Xu to fall down the stairs. I didn't punish her, but I was just letting Miss Xu vent her anger. Besides, she is now engaged to Shen Xiuzhuan, which just happened to eliminate an opponent for me."

Princess Jianning didn't quite understand what he meant and looked at the extremely handsome Chu Musheng.

"Mu Sheng, do you still have rivals? Just look at the many beautiful women in this garden, all of them are rivals for your beloved! The one you should worry about is Xu Ke, the one who's going to hit someone."

"My sister is right. This is really putting her in a difficult position. I will love her more in the future."

Princess Jianning...

Is this what I mean?

Chu Musheng walked towards the pavilion with several guards.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave now. I'll ask my sister to take care of my woman."

Princess Jianning rolled her eyes behind him. No wonder her mother couldn't do anything about him.

My brother, who has always been smart and wise, becomes a little careless once he has someone in his heart!

At this time, the atmosphere on Xu Keke's side was still tense.

Miss Wei had Xu Yuanyuan taken away to wash her face and change clothes, and then she went forward to lecture Xu Keke.

"Even if you two have a personal grudge, you shouldn't resort to violence in the princess's residence. Now that you've alarmed the princess and the regent, let's see how this ends for you."

Xu Keke turned her head away, ignoring the unfamiliar stranger and looking at Li Yueran.

"Miss Li, do you want to go back to the pavilion and continue drinking tea?"

"it is good."

Li Yueran was not familiar with those ladies, so she followed Xu Keke back to the pavilion.

Xu Keke returned to her virtuous and quiet appearance, as if she was not the one who had just hit someone.
