The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Before Liang Shaoyin could speak, someone in the crowd shouted, "You dare not admit it?"

"Yes, yes, I knew that officials would protect each other."

"But Zhao San didn't ask Miss Jiang to do anything. He just wanted her to pay back the money she owed for three months."

"Isn't it just like stealing a chicken but losing the rice? Even if you don't want someone to serve you, you still have to pay the money upfront. A rich lady is doing something like a freeloader."

There were all kinds of discussions in the crowd, and some people even urged Liang Shaoyin to help Zhao San get the money back.

Liang Shaoyin looked embarrassed. Of course he couldn't show favoritism in this situation.

Taifu Zhao's words had a tendency to stir up public outrage. Zhao San feigned fear and said, "My lord, forget it. I won't sue you. If Miss Jiang refuses to give me the money, then so be it. I didn't intend to ask for the money I was owed for the past three months, but Miss Jiang donated money to gain a good reputation while still owing me money. I'm so angry that I'm suing her. I won't sue you. I'll just think of her serving me for the past two years. I've enjoyed it anyway. Miss Jiang is really good at talking."

The last sentence caused the onlookers to burst into laughter. Most of the onlookers were experienced people, and they understood everything that was meant by the skill of talking.

Master Jiang felt a tightness in his chest. The Jiang family's reputation was ruined by this granddaughter.

Jiang Yurou had no idea what Zhao San meant by "mouth skills" and thought he was saying she was quibbling. But she was really framed. She finally couldn't hold back her tears and her body swayed and suddenly tilted to one side and fainted. Fortunately, the attendant standing behind Master Jiang was quick to support her.

Zhao Sanzi also saw Jiang Yurou faint, but he saw Jiang Yurou's eyelashes trembling. Haha, she was pretending!

He immediately showed an anxious look and shouted loudly: "Rou Rou, Rou Rou, what's wrong with you? Rou Rou, don't scare me. I won't sue you. I don't want the money. It doesn't matter if you don't want me anymore. As long as you are fine, Rou..."

Master Jiang shouted angrily, "Shut up, Ah Hang, give him the silver and let's go."

The Ah Hang mentioned by Grand Tutor Jiang was Jiang Yurou's father, Jiang Hang. The truth behind this farce no longer mattered. Even if Zhao San admitted to slandering Jiang Yurou, others would undoubtedly assume that the Jiang family had used their power to coerce her, and Jiang Yurou's reputation would be completely ruined. There was no point in pursuing the truth any further; it would be better to end this farce as soon as possible.

Zhao San's gentle voice and the banknotes Jiang Hang threw to Zhao San confirmed the unclean relationship between Jiang Yurou and Zhao San. At this point, the matter spread throughout the entire Shangjing City at an extremely fast speed without any further operation.

At the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, Jiang Yurou knelt before Imperial Tutor Jiang, "Grandfather, I've been wronged. I've never even seen that person."

Of course, Imperial Tutor Jiang knew that Zhao San's lies were all nonsense. The question was who would frame the Jiang family in this way? Although the Jiang family was highly respected among the students and had a seat at the court, they had not taken sides and had never offended anyone. The only thing he could think of was the rumors from a few days ago.

Master Jiang looked at Jiang Yurou in a stern tone, "Rou'er, tell me the truth. Are you related to those rumors after the fundraising?"

Jiang Yurou knew how much her grandfather valued his reputation. If he knew that she had done it on purpose, she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be. By now, she already knew that what happened today must have been the work of Mu Xiyue and Prince Jin.

"Grandfather, Rou'er didn't have it. Rou'er doesn't know."

Jiang Yurou had just said this when Master Jiang's followers came in carrying Jiang Yurou's maid.

Framing the young lady would definitely mean death, so how could this maid admit it? However, this maid confessed everything that Jiang Yurou had done before, hoping that Master Jiang would spare her life.

Mu Xiyue sat in the pavilion in Xiao Yibai's courtyard, listening to Zhao San vividly recount what happened in Jingzhao Prefecture.

"Don't worry, Princess. Jiang Yurou's reputation is completely ruined. The Jiang family wasn't anything to be feared. Now, I'm afraid even Grand Tutor Jiang will be too embarrassed to face anyone."

Zhao San concealed the obscene words he said, but Mu Xiyue had already heard them from the servants of the Princess's Mansion. She didn't expect that this seemingly weak and handsome young man in front of her could have such good acting skills.

Mu Xiyue took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and handed it to Zhao San, saying, "Well done, this is your reward."

Zhao San was very frightened. The amount of money in this stack of silver notes was not small, adding up to a full five thousand taels.

"My Lady, this is too much. I am very lucky to have your help."

Xiao Yibai came out of the study and sat down next to Mu Xiyue. "Accept the reward from the princess. Leave now!"

After hearing what his prince said, Zhao San took the silver note and retreated. Mu Xiyue was in a very good mood and leaned against Xiao Yibai.

"Do you think Master Jiang will realize that it was us who did this? Will the old man be mad at his granddaughter and die?"

Xiao Yibai pulled her into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Master Jiang is no simple-minded person to have achieved what he has today. He probably knows what that woman did before, so he's not that angry to death."

Mu Xiyue tutted her words twice, "I wonder if the goddess will be unable to get over it after falling into this quagmire. This noble young man in Shangjing City must be heartbroken!"

Xiao Yibai picked her up and walked towards the study. "Why worry about whether others are heartbroken or not? Your husband has a gift for you."

Mu Xiyue was caught off guard and hugged him. She instinctively put her arms around his neck and said, "Why are you hugging me all of a sudden? I have my own legs."

Xiao Yibai smiled and said, "My brother-in-law said this is called a princess hug, and women all like it. Yueyue, do you like your husband hugging you like this?"

Mu Xiyue rolled her eyes. "Why did you listen to him? No, when did you meet with him alone? How come I didn't know?"

As they were talking, the two of them had already entered the study. Xiao Yibai put Mu Xiyue on a chair, then walked around to the desk and took out a brocade box from the drawer.

Mu Xiyue looked at the small brocade box in his hand and asked, "What is this? Why would you give me a gift for no reason?"

With a smile on his lips, Xiao Yibai took out a bunch of red roses from under the table like a magic trick, walked to Mu Xiyue and knelt on one knee.

"Yueyue, my brother-in-law said that you have to have a proposal ceremony before getting married. You must have it as others have it. Yueyue, I will do my best to make you happy. You are the only one in this life."

There was a pair of diamond rings in the brocade box. Xiao Yibai once said that there were diamonds in the palace, but in this era they were not called diamonds but Kunlun stones.

Xiao Yibai picked up a women's ring and put it on Mu Xiyue, then handed her another men's ring and stretched out his hand to signal her to put it on him.

"This is made of Kunlun stone. He said you call it diamond over there, and it symbolizes eternal love."

This was really an unexpected surprise. Mu Xiyue never thought that Xiao Yibai would do this. She didn't feel embarrassed and took the ring and put it on him.

"Alright, hurry up and get up! Where did you pick these roses? I don't see them being grown in your palace."

Xiao Yibai said, "I asked Qifeng to find it outside the city."

Mu Xiyue pulled him up, and at that moment, the emotion in her heart turned into tenderness, "Xiao Yibai, thank you!"

As she said that, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him. This was the first time she took the initiative to kiss him.
