After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 109 Apology
"General Zhong, please stop interfering in other people's business!" Liu Jin looked at Zhong Yi with naked disgust in his eyes.
It wasn't just Liu Jin. All the other gorgeously dressed noble ladies looked at Zhong Yi with more or less aloofness in their eyes.
Because, in their eyes, Zhongyi is reckless and not sophisticated enough.
Zhong Yi stuffed the cake into his mouth, patted the cake crumbs on his hands, stood in front of Zhu Baiwei and Xiaoxue, and then looked at everyone, "If it were today, this general would definitely take care of this trivial matter!"
"General Zhong is not in Ancheng, so I'm afraid he doesn't know the seriousness of the matter! Why bother to offend us for a concubine's daughter and a monster?" Liu Jin hinted at something, his expression full of sarcasm.
"General Zhong probably doesn't know yet, but Miss Liu will be welcomed into the palace by His Majesty soon. With Miss Liu's beauty and talent, she will definitely be crowned queen!" Li Wu whispered beside him.
No one was surprised by this, after all, the matter had already spread like wildfire in Ancheng.
Everyone knows now that His Majesty intends to make the daughter of the Grand Tutor the empress. In recent days, countless rewards have been sent to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Therefore, no matter where Liu Jin goes now, she is surrounded by people, and everyone is trying to please the future queen.
"This general doesn't care about whether she is the future queen or not. This general just can't stand you noble ladies ganging up to bully two girls!" Zhong Yi snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with everyone's behavior.
"A person with white hair like this is not a girl!" Liu Jin corrected.
"There are so many people with different hair colors in this world. So what if they have different hair colors? Do you think you can bully others just because they are different? I tell you, this general will stand here today and see who dares to bully them!" Zhong Yi said, clenching her fists and moving them slightly. You could hear the crisp sound of her joints.
Everyone couldn't help but step back. After all, everyone had heard of Zhong Yi's reputation and how many enemies he had killed on the battlefield.
"Thank you, General!" Zhu Baiwei put the cloak on Xiaoxue, helped Xiaoxue stand up, and looked grateful.
Zhong Yi waved his hand, not minding these things. "Go to my side, it's quiet over there, so that no one can bully me again!"
Zhu Baiwei nodded, and just as the three were about to leave, Liu Jin spoke.
"Birds of a feather flock together!"
Although Liu Jin was smiling, she was actually furious. She had been the daughter of the Grand Tutor's family since she was young, a role model for women. Now, she was about to enter the palace as Empress. Everyone who saw her was flattering her, but today, she had been repeatedly humiliated, and naturally she was unhappy.
"Are you scolding me?" Zhong Yi turned around and looked at Liu Jin with an unfriendly tone.
You know, Zhong Yi is not the kind of person who would sit there in silence and say whatever he wants.
"I'm not scolding you. After all, everyone knows that you, General Zhong, are in the military camp, eating and living with the soldiers!" Liu Jin deliberately slowed down his voice.
These words were so ambiguous that many people came to their senses and understood what Liu Jin meant.
"Oh my God! Living and eating with so many men! How shameless!"
"If it were me, I would have hit my head and died!"
"She's said to have made great military achievements, but could it be that those men deliberately gave them to her?"
The questioning voices of the crowd made Zhong Yi angry! She suddenly pulled the noble lady who was whispering beside her and shouted, "Come on, tell me, how can I be so shameless!"
Zhong Yi's voice was loud and his movements were rough, which scared the noble lady who was pulled over into tears.
"General Zhong, you are too presumptuous!" Liu Jin scolded.
"How dare you! So what if this general is presumptuous!" Zhong Yihuan looked around without any fear or evasion in his expression.
"I, Zhong Yi, have shed my blood and sacrificed my life on the battlefield over the years without feeling guilty. But I didn't expect to meet a bunch of monsters like you just after returning to Ancheng! This general is not a delicate young lady. No one wants to be unscathed today after being insulted by this female general!" Zhong Yi said, and suddenly swung out a dagger. The sharp dagger shone with a cold light.
"You!" The noble ladies retreated in fear, only Liu Jin was still holding on.
"Is what you said false? Women should love and respect themselves. I admit that General Zhong, you are a heroine! But it is true that General Zhong has been hanging out with men for many years? It is also true that General Zhong looks like a neither male nor female now. Don't you want us to tell the truth?" Every word of Liu Jin's was filled with rebuke and disdain.
These words made Zhong Yi's eyes filled with murderous intent.
When it comes to martial arts, not only the ladies present, but even the gentlemen are no match for her. But when it comes to talking, Zhong Yi is no match for these ladies from aristocratic families.
In the military camp, those who are dissatisfied or have disputes will just fight, and the winner will have the final say.
But this is Ancheng, and even Zhong Yi cannot deal with the methods used in the military camp.
"General Zhong..." Zhu Baiwei looked at Zhong Yi worriedly. At this moment, even Zhu Baiwei felt indignant for Zhong Yi in her heart.
"Who is this? How arrogant of you to embarrass my guests in my residence!" A delicate yet overbearing voice rang out.
I saw the Fifth Princess and Zhu Qing'an walking side by side. They were the most handsome men in Ancheng. Now they had serious expressions on their faces, and everyone involuntarily made way for them.
Zhu Qing'an came to his second sister and first took off the cloak on Xiaoxue's head.
Although Xiaoxue was puzzled, she did not resist Zhu Qing'an's actions at all. She trusted Zhu Qing'an so much.
When Zhu Baiwei saw her elder sister coming, she felt relieved and called out "elder sister" in a wronged tone.
"This is the sister that this princess has recognized. She is here to attend the banquet today at the invitation of the Fifth Princess. You all are so arrogant that you are so rude to the girl from my Marquis Wen'an's Mansion!" Zhu Qing'an looked around, and then his eyes fell on Liu Jin and Li Wu.
Li Wu only felt the burning pain on his cheeks, and when he saw Zhu Qing'an, he couldn't help but shudder.
"Xiaoxue's hair color is different, what does it have to do with you? You are all barking here like animals!" Zhu Qingan sneered, "Did she eat your cakes or step on your land? You are very skilled at meddling in other people's business! This princess is here today, come, stand in front of me and tell me how my Xiaoxue is doing!"
Zhu Qing'an looked at the noble ladies one by one, and those noble ladies hurriedly shook their heads.
They bullied Xiaoxue simply because they thought she was an orphan, without a single supporter. But now, seeing Princess Yongfu defending her, even stating that she was a daughter of the Marquis of Wen'an, who would dare to gossip about her?
"Miss Liu, are you still dissatisfied with my Xiaoxue?" Zhu Qing'an faced Liu Jin directly, with a smile on his face, but there was a cold look in the depths of his eyes.
Liu Jin gritted her teeth. She was the daughter of the Grand Tutor and a favored child of heaven, but she happened to be overshadowed by Zhu Qing'an.
It was like this before and it is like this now.
"No!" Liu Jin shook her head and had to give in. She wasn't afraid of Zhu Qing'an, but she was deeply afraid of the Queen Mother behind her.
"Xiaoxue!" Zhu Qing'an pulled Xiaoxue and said earnestly, "Your hair color is not your fault. You have done nothing wrong, so don't be afraid. If you meet such a rude person again in the future, beat him up! Beat him hard! If he dies, it's my fault!"
Zhu Qing'an's words were extremely overbearing and rude.
After hearing this, Xiaoxue's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Zhu Qing'an promised. Since these people insisted on bullying others, she didn't mind fighting violence with violence.
Zhu Qing'an's words did have a deterrent effect, and everyone had no doubt that if they really bullied the girl with different hair color, they would be beaten to death.
After all, Zhu Qing'an has such means and such a backer who can calm everything down.
"Princess Yongfu is so arrogant. She keeps talking about fighting and killing. We are just playing around. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's continue to enjoy the flowers!" Liu Jin laughed dryly, trying to find a way out.
"It's been resolved? Who said that? There are still accounts to be settled!" Zhu Qing'an stopped Liu Jin and the others and said, "Miss Liu, shouldn't you apologize for slandering the general?"
No one expected that Zhu Qing'an would be so persistent and even vent his anger for Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi was also stunned. She didn't intend to pursue the matter. After all, she wasn't hurt. But it felt good to be cared about.
"Zhu Qing'an, that's enough!" Liu Jin looked at Zhu Qing'an and said angrily, "What's your relationship with General Zhong? Is it your turn to stand up for General Zhong? I think you're just trying to make things difficult for me!"
"It's not just Princess Yongfu. This princess can't stay out of this either! What Miss Liu and the other girls said today is simply chilling. We can't just let it go like this!" The Fifth Princess stood beside Zhu Qing'an with a stern expression.
"Princess?"
No one expected that even the Fifth Princess would stand on Zhong Yi's side, but naturally no one dared to say anything. After all, she was a princess, and no matter how outstanding their family background was, they were still inferior in front of the princess.
"You noble ladies, you spend your days nestling in luxury, eating and wearing the finest and most luxurious food. You spend your days admiring flowers or drinking tea, but you never consider that so many soldiers on the frontier sacrificed their lives for your lives!" The Fifth Princess raised her eyebrows. "General Zhong is a heroine, a heroine that even our mother praises! She is a role model for women all over the world! It is because of so many soldiers like General Zhong that my Xuanlong Kingdom is free from foreign invasion!"
The fifth princess said this, her face flushed with anger.
Zhu Qing'an looked at the Fifth Princess with some surprise. She had always known that the Fifth Princess was a kind person, but she didn't know that the Fifth Princess was so clear about right and wrong.
The Fifth Princess' eyes were filled with disappointment. "But now, facing the hero of Xuanlong Nation, not only do you not admire him, but you speak maliciously and criticize General Zhong with the etiquette between women. How can you have such nerve! Marching and fighting is like putting your head on the belt, but you only know how to arrange the relationship between men and women. If anyone here were to go to the battlefield today, I would like to see who can be as mighty as General Zhong!"
Every word the Fifth Princess spoke was so powerful that it silenced everyone present.
Zhu Qing'an felt that the Fifth Princess' words were extremely reasonable, and she was very happy that the Fifth Princess had the same idea as her.
Zhong Yi smiled. She had actually long been accustomed to the way those people looked at her.
She didn't spend the whole day in the military camp. Her appearance, figure, voice, and her many years of experience in the military camp made her out of place among the women.
When she was a child, she went back to Ancheng once. The noble ladies would cover their noses and stay away from her, and no one would talk to her.
She might have been sad when she was a child, but now she has become strong enough and no longer cares about those voices.
However, when someone stood firmly on her side, spoke for her, argued for her, and acknowledged her efforts and greatness, Zhong Yi was still moved at this moment.
It turns out that not all girls think she is different, and not all girls reject her. It turns out that there are people who affirm her.
"General Zhong, I'm sorry!" The noble lady who spoke first whispered, her face flushed with shame and she was almost crying. "I'm too narrow-minded!"
Starting with the first noble lady, everyone began to apologize to Zhong Yi one by one.
Some of these noble ladies and gentlemen may have evil intentions, but most of them are people who can distinguish right from wrong. They do not have any evil intentions, but are simply trapped by what they hear and see in their daily lives.
Everyone apologized to Zhong Yi one by one, and they all apologized sincerely. It was at this moment that everyone realized what a great person Zhong Yi was.
In response to everyone's apologies, Zhong Yi nodded to express his acceptance, and then smiled and let bygones be bygones.
In the end, only Liu Jin was still standing there. She couldn't speak, but Zhu Qing'an was staring at her and she couldn't leave.
"Miss Liu is the daughter of the Grand Tutor and is usually a role model for women. How come you don't even have the courage to admit your mistakes?" Zhu Qing'an asked, not intending to let Liu Jin go.
Liu Jin's thoughts today were extremely excessive. Her words could have ruined a woman. She knew the consequences, yet she still insisted on doing so, which shows how malicious Liu Jin's thoughts were.
"I..." Liu Jin couldn't bring herself to apologize. If she apologized today, how could she save face? Besides, if she apologized, it would mean she admitted that what she said today was inappropriate.
She is the future mother of the country. What will happen if she has such a stain?
"If Miss Liu can't speak, then ask someone to invite the Grand Tutor over!" The Fifth Princess said impatiently.
Hearing someone wanted to invite his father, even though Liu Jin was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and kneel slightly to Zhong Yi, "I was reckless in my words and actions, please forgive me, General Zhong!"
After saying this, Liu Jin's tears began to fall, and she kept twisting the handkerchief in her hands.
Zhong Yi waved her hand. She had no intention of arguing with a crying girl.
Seeing Zhong Yi's attitude, Liu Jin stood up with the help of the noble lady beside her. She no longer had the glory she had at the beginning, but quietly retreated to the corner.
But after a while, Liu Jin and Li Wu left the princess's mansion while no one was paying attention, and they didn't even say goodbye to the fifth princess. It was obvious that they really felt embarrassed.
