The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Xiwan caught a glimpse of arrogance and complacency in Su Xunyao's eyes, and she really admired her methods.

Without her saying a word, so many people came forward to speak for her.

Song Xiwan was too lazy to reason and said directly: "Then ask your father to go."

Shen Qiongyi's eyes widened, unable to believe what she heard.

"You, do you know that my father is the Imperial Censor?"

The Censorate is responsible for supervising officials. Once a report is made against them, the emperor will inevitably be suspicious and dissatisfied, especially since Song Wenyi was suspended from his post a while ago.

If he is again accused of failing to educate his daughter properly, deliberately using despicable means to slander the prince's innocence, and now making things difficult for Prime Minister Su's daughter, the emperor will definitely punish him severely!

Xu Miaoyi was so panicked that she whispered, "Cousin, don't be stupid."

Song Xiwan ignored her and just looked at Shen Qiongyi with sarcasm.

"Did you know that a while ago, the Minister of Justice, Lord Zhang, personally sent his son to prison?"

Shen Qiongyi was stunned. Why did they suddenly talk about Lord Zhang?

Su Xunyao understood and stood up to condemn Song Xiwan, "Sister Xiwan, Qiongyi is just straightforward and outspoken. How can you curse her like this?"

This made Xu Miaoyi come to her senses!

"How dare you threaten me?"

Song Xiwan smiled faintly and pointed her finger at Su Xunyao, "So Miss Su can talk. I thought your throat was uncomfortable recently and you had to rely on others to speak for you."

The atmosphere solidified instantly.

No one expected Song Xiwan to be so disrespectful!

Su Xunyao was the first to react. With red eyes, she took a half step back and said, "Xunyao is wrong. Please forgive me, Sister Xiwan."

This compromising attitude immediately aroused Shen Qiongyi's anger. She grabbed Su Xunyao's wrist protectively and glared at Song Xiwan.

"How dare you bully Xun Yao?"

"Who is the bully?"

Before Song Xiwan could refute, a delicate voice came from the door.

Everyone looked up and their expressions changed.

The third princess!

Song Xiwan was slightly shocked. The third princess, Xie Qingyuan, was the queen's daughter and the most favored princess at the time.

But soon after, she was forced to marry far away due to the conspiracy of Concubine Shen.

In his previous life, after Xie Chengqian broke his leg, the third princess was about to marry him, but she was still concerned about Xie Chengqian's condition and collected many elixirs and sent them to him.

Song Xiwan really admired the princess and bowed politely.

Xie Qingyuan came in wearing a purple shirt, her eyes swept over them, and finally fell on Shen Qiongyi.

The look that always carried the royal majesty made Shen Qiongyi shudder, and she was completely different from the high-spirited look she had just had.

She quietly hid behind Xu Miaoyi, trying to hide herself.

Xie Qingyuan said bluntly, "I heard everything Miss Shen said just now. I can tell you clearly that my fifth brother has no intention of forming an alliance with the Su family."

Su Xunyao's face almost turned pale, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"How could that be?" Shen Qiongyi was also dumbfounded. She said bluntly, "But didn't Prime Minister Su meet with the prince?"

Xie Qingyuan looked at her more like she was a fool. "Miss Shen, you've met many men, but are all of them engaged?"

Song Xiwan couldn't help but chuckle.

And then I felt very regretful.

The third princess has been taught by the queen since she was young. Her words and deeds are decent and generous, but she has a natural chivalrous spirit in her bones.

He likes to stand up for the weak and this is why he was later framed by Concubine Shen.

Shen Qiongyi's face was a mixture of red and white.

How could a girl discuss marriage in public? What's more, this is outrageous. She is not a man who can have three wives and four concubines.

She murmured unwillingly, "But the prince obviously likes Xun Yao."

"Is this what my fifth brother told you personally?"

Xie Qingyuan is really not a pushover, every question she asks hits the point.

Shen Qiongyi choked.

Of course not, but this is also what Xun Yao revealed on a daily basis.

Su Xunyao's eyes flashed darkly, and she hurriedly explained, "Princess Three, please don't blame me. Qiongyi only heard it from hearsay. After all, the news that the prince is seeking to marry Miss Song has been circulating in the capital recently, and Qiongyi wanted to confirm this with Miss Song."

He said a lot of things, but he did it all cleanly.

Xie Qingyuan sneered, "As the daughter of the Imperial Censor, you haven't even learned a fraction of your father's caution. You're really not as shameless as mere hearsay in embarrassing Miss Song."

Everyone could hear that the Third Princess was determined to protect Song Xiwan.

Of course Su Xunyao still had to speak up for her friend, "Qiong Yi is just..."

"Miss Su."

But before he could finish his words, Xie Qingyuan interrupted him.

His voice was so cold and deep that it made everyone present tremble. The displeasure in his tone was clearly even stronger than when he talked about Shen Qiongyi just now.

Su Xunyao's heart sank.

Xie Qingyuan continued to advise, "As a woman, and a renowned talent in Shangjing City, you should respect your reputation. When you heard such groundless rumors, you should have stood up and refuted them immediately, instead of standing by in silence, right?"

The last two words almost threw Su Xunyao's self-esteem to the ground and trampled on it.

The third princess really saw what happened just now.

Su Xunyao could only answer: "Yes."

"I know you are well-educated and well-mannered. I just forgot and caused these misunderstandings. Why don't you apologize to Miss Song?"

Xie Qingyuan raised her chin slightly and spoke again in a calm voice.

Su Xunyao looked up suddenly, "What?"

"Miss Su, don't you agree with what I said? You really didn't do it just now. It's not that you forgot, but could it be that you did it on purpose?"

Every word Xie Qingyuan said trampled on Su Xunyao's dignity. How should she respond?

dilemma!

A strange look flashed across Song Xiwan's eyes. She didn't expect that the third princess would protect her so much.

Wouldn't this make Su Xunyao really angry?

Xie Qingyuan seemed to notice her gaze and gave Song Xiwan a faint smile, as if telling her not to be afraid.

Song Xiwan felt a little warm in her heart.

In her previous life, she didn't have much interaction with Xie Qingyuan, but knowing that she was unwilling to marry, but still resolutely took on this responsibility for the sake of the overall situation, she knew that the third princess had a sense of justice in her heart.

People like this shouldn't end up like that.

If she had not been born into the royal family, perhaps the third princess would have been freer.

"Miss Song, I'm sorry."

Su Xunyao adjusted her mood and said these words almost with gritted teeth.

Song Xiwan looked at her and said, "I'm fine. Miss Su didn't spread rumors about marrying me. You're ruining the prince's reputation."

Of course, whether Xie Chengqian has a bad reputation or not is also important.

Song Xiwan was simply trying to annoy Su Xunyao.

Look, Su Xunyao's face instantly became extremely ugly, with hatred in her eyes. This time, she really couldn't hide her dissatisfaction with her.

Xie Qingyuan specifically added, "Miss Song is right. Miss Su should be more careful in the future."

Su Xunyao was so angry that she almost fainted.
