The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 52: The Compromising Person
Shao Shuying also knew that she had lost her composure. Prince Jin stood beside Mu Xiyue and looked at her coldly. She felt a chill in her heart and tried to make amends.
"No, Miss Mu, please don't misunderstand. A maid just came to report that she saw Miss Mu enter this room, and then there were bad noises coming from inside. The maid was afraid that something might happen to Miss Mu, so she went to ask the princess to come over."
Mu Xiyue gave her a sarcastic smile and turned to ask Princess Qinyang, "Princess, I wonder which maid saw me enter this room just now? It's a good thing I followed you, otherwise my reputation would be ruined today."
Princess Qinyang was also confused. Why was she allowed to escape again? Who was the person inside?
But Princess Qinyang didn't have time to dwell on this. With four princes still present, she pushed a maid aside and said, "Miss Mu, this maid may have mistaken you for someone else. I'm glad you're okay. But I don't know who is inside, but how dare they be so bold."
Mu Xiyue had never seen the maid who was pushed out before. She was not the one who served Princess Qinyang closely.
Mu Xiyue curled her lips, "Yes, the princess is right. But I am most afraid of being misunderstood. Princess's maid, may I ask when you saw me enter this room, or how long ago was it before you saw me enter this room? Princess, please forgive me, I am just afraid that everyone will misunderstand that I have entered this room. After all, the noises inside are a bit unbearable to the ears."
Everyone looked at the maid, who was sweating profusely. She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, about two quarters of an hour ago, I saw a woman who looked very much like Miss Mu. I thought it was Miss Mu, so I hurried to find the princess."
A young man who had been watching the chess game in the crowd said, "Miss Mu was playing chess with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi two quarters of an hour ago, so this servant must have mistaken her for someone else."
Someone echoed, "Yes, Miss Mu, don't worry about what this maid said. We all saw you at the chess table. No one will misunderstand you."
Mu Xiyue smiled at the crowd and said, "Thank you all for speaking up and clearing my name."
At this moment, someone noticed that the noise in the house had stopped. Prince An ordered the two maids in front of him, "Go and break the door open. I want to see who is so bold as to be so presumptuous in the imperial manor."
The old woman didn't know the truth, and she went up to knock on the door after receiving Prince An's order.
When Mu Xiyue left, she just pulled the door from the outside, so the door was ajar. The two old women thought the door was bolted from the inside, so they slammed it with great force. With a thud, the two old women fell heavily into the door, and the situation inside the door immediately caught everyone's attention.
Xiao Yibai calmly moved his body to stand in front of Mu Xiyue, preventing her from being blinded by the situation in the room.
Mu Xiyue didn't have this awareness. She pushed Xiao Yibai with her hand and said, "Your Highness, don't block me. Let me see what's going on inside. Which woman is so unlucky? Has she been beaten to death?"
Xiao Yibai turned around and didn't look into the room again, nor did he move away. There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Yueyue, don't look at it. Don't let such filthy things dirty your eyes."
When Shao Shuying heard the word "Yueyue", she became so angry that her eyes turned red, and the look she gave Mu Xiyue was as if filled with poison.
Mu Xiyue was feeling depressed because she couldn't see what was happening in the room. Suddenly, she felt someone was staring at her. She glanced around and soon found that it was Shao Shuying who was looking at her with resentment.
This is interesting. I used to think that Shao Shuying was hostile to me because she was good friends with Mu Xiyu, but now it seems that is not entirely true.
Mu Xiyue went over it in her mind. The original owner had left Shangjing City at the age of five, and she had only been back for a month. She was certain that she and Shao Shuying had never crossed paths. So where did her strong hostility come from?
Suddenly Mu Xiyue thought of something, she pulled Xiao Yibai's sleeve to signal him to lower his head.
Xiao Yibai estimated that he was over 1.8 meters tall, and Mu Xiyue was probably only a little over 1.6 meters tall, so Xiao Yibai bent his waist slightly, lowered his head and waited for her to speak.
Mu Xiyue smiled brightly and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Do you know Shao Shuying?"
Xiao Yibai was stunned. "Shao? The daughter of the Marquis of Chang'an? Is she the one who is good friends with Qin Yang? I don't know her well. I only know that she is the daughter of the Marquis of Chang'an."
The way the two of them whispered with their heads down looked very intimate to others. Mu Xiyue had been keeping an eye on Shao Shuying out of the corner of her eye, and sure enough, her expression was almost distorted, and her eyes became even more vicious.
Mu Xiyue smiled at her provocatively and said to Xiao Yibai, "It's your bad peach blossom. She's looking at me like she wants to eat me!"
Xiao Yibai frowned and looked over there, meeting Shao Shuying's gaze.
Shao Shuying panicked and immediately lowered her head, but Xiao Yibai still saw her poisonous gaze.
Xiao Yibai explained innocently, "Yueyue, it's all because I'm too charming. There are indeed a few people who like me, but I've never had any feelings for anyone else except you."
These sweet words were spoken so eloquently that Mu Xiyue stopped talking and motioned him to look ahead.
The shouting and crying had spread from inside the house to outside. The man and Mu Xiyu, master and servant, were now fully dressed and kneeling in front of Prince An.
Xiao Yibai moved aside a little to allow Mu Xiyue to watch the show.
Chi Yanzhi and the other three also squeezed up behind him and winked at Mu Xiyue.
Prince An was already asking, "Prince Ji, do you know your mistake?"
The word "know one's mistakes" is used very well. It seems that Prince An does not want to punish Prince Ji, at least Prince An does not want him to punish others.
Mu Xiyue turned around and asked Chi Yanzhi, "Master Chi San, who is this Prince Ji?"
Chi Yanzhi gave her a brief introduction. This man was Ji Lifan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Qi'an Mansion. He was eighteen years old this year. He was very fond of women. He had no wife at home, but four concubines. He usually liked to go to Wanchun Tower.
Wanchunlou is the largest brothel in the capital. Princess Qinyang and her friends chose a really good person because she often went there when she was only eighteen years old.
Ji Lifan said, "Prince An, it was these two women who seduced me. This woman said she had long been secretly in love with me. Your Highness knows that I cannot resist beauty. How can I refuse a woman who comes to me? I know I was wrong. I should not have done such a thing with Miss Mu in the imperial manor. I have ruined the princess's banquet. Please punish me, Your Highness and the princess."
It's true that Ji Lifan is a dandy second-generation rich kid, but he's not stupid. The failure of this plan means he's been seen through. Maybe Miss Mu has helpers to circumvent her scheme, or maybe there are other tricks. If Miss Mu doesn't have helpers, then this woman is very powerful and it's best not to offend her easily.
If he turned against her and said that Mu Xiyu had seduced him, at most he would be privately scolded by Princess Qinyang and the others, and Princess Qinyang wouldn't be foolish enough to investigate how he slept with the Second Miss Mu. But if he dared to accuse Miss Mu, he might end up being blamed entirely if the truth was uncovered, after all, Princess Qinyang was the Emperor's niece.
