Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Her Royal Highness said that she accidentally left her ancestral agate ring on the stone table in the pavilion while she was strolling in the garden today. When she returned to look for it, she happened to find Xiaohong and Xiaocui there, but the ring was gone. So, Her Royal Highness became suspicious..."

Although Butler Zhou had not finished speaking, the meaning was self-evident.

"No, Your Highness! We were there because my sister called us to the pavilion to help. Not long after we arrived, Your Highness the Concubine arrived. As for the ring, we really haven't even seen its shadow!"

"So what are the injuries on your bodies?"

"Her Highness the Concubine had her maid whip us, saying she would only let us go if we confessed..."

"Sister Xiaohong blocked many whips for me to protect me. If Housekeeper Zhou hadn't come, we would have been beaten to death!"

Xiao Cui felt extremely heartbroken when she saw Xiao Hong who was still unconscious.

"Your Highness, I'm truly sorry that I learned the news too late. But please rest assured, I've already found a doctor to carefully treat them. They only suffered minor injuries. With a few days of rest, they'll be back to normal!"

Butler Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and explained to Bai Yue, who was as quiet as water.

"Xiaoyi, these medicines are for oral administration, and these are for application to wounds! Please take good care of them!"

Bai Yue took out a bunch of medicine as if by magic and handed it to Xiaoyi. Then she walked to Xiaocui and asked seriously.

"Xiao Cui, tell me, what is the name of the maid who led you to the pavilion?"

In Chen Yingran's elegant and unique courtyard, several maids sat around her, gently waving cattail-leaf fans for her and talking excitedly about what happened today.

"Oh, Your Highness, tell me, those two little girls are as stubborn as a rock. If they had just admitted their mistakes earlier, they wouldn't have had to suffer so much."

Chen Yingran leaned lightly on the soft couch, enjoying the maid's gentle and delicate back massage while cursing with disdain!

Humph, those two little rascals are just like their master. Just looking at them makes me feel unhappy. If Housekeeper Zhou hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten them to death today!"

"But Your Highness, they are the Princess's personal maids after all. If the Princess investigates..."

"Hmph, her? A woman who married from far away, even if she holds the title of princess, is still a rootless duckweed in this Wenqu Kingdom. Our Chen Guogong Mansion is a famous and prestigious family in this area. If she really dares to come to us, my father will make sure she has no way back and will be in big trouble!"

"Speaking of which, that woman, in order to win the prince's favor, even used her body as bait. How despicable! The prince was also bewitched by her seductive tactics and even did the absurd thing of buying up everything in the East Market and letting her choose!"

There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in Chen Yingran's voice, as if she wanted to pour out all the dissatisfaction and jealousy in her heart.

At this moment, the door was kicked open with great force, and then a figure "flew" straight towards the direction where Chen Yingran and the others were, like a kite with a broken string.

Everyone in the room was frightened by the sudden change and hid back. After the figure cried out in pain, everyone realized that this figure was actually the maid that Chen Yingran had sent to "invite" Xiaohong and Xiaocui to the appointment at the pavilion.

"Your Highness, please have mercy on me and save my life!"

The maid's face was covered in blood, and she called out to Chen Yingran in a trembling voice, while the other party was frightened by the horrifying scene.

"Sister Yingran, I heard you lost something you loved. Look, I've found you and your belongings together. Now, what are you going to do with this little thief?"

Upon hearing this, the maid became even more panicked and pleaded to Bai Yue incoherently, "Your Highness, I am innocent! This ring was given to me by Your Highness, the Concubine. It was definitely not stolen. Please have mercy on me and forgive me this time!"

When the maid heard this, she quickly knelt on the ground and begged Bai Yue incoherently.

"Sister Yingran, is what she said true?

Bai Yue turned her gaze to Chen Yingran and asked slowly.

The other party was stunned at first, and then her face quickly regained its arrogance. She curled the corners of her mouth and smiled with pretended ease.

"Oh, look at my memory! I almost forgot about it. Yes, I did give her the ring as a gift. How could I have mistakenly thought it was lost? What a false alarm!"

"Forgot? You said it so lightly, but what about my innocent maids? They were all beaten and bruised by you. How are you going to settle this account?"

Bai Yue looked at the other person with eyes as sharp as a knife, and there was a chill in her voice that could not be ignored.

"Ouch, it's just some minor injuries. It will be fine after a few days of rest. If you really want to make a fuss, then I'll give you..."

Before Chen Yingran finished her words, Bai Yue had already jumped in front of her and inserted a small knife with a cold glowing light directly into her palm. The action was cold and decisive.

“Ahhhhh——!”

Chen Yingran's screams pierced the clouds and split the rocks, and she almost fainted from the pain.

"Don't worry, Sister Yingran. Just as you said, it's just a minor injury. Just rest for a few days and it will be fine."

Bai Yue curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and threw back the other party's previous words intact.

"You guys! What are you all still doing standing there? Stop this crazy woman!"

Chen Yingran looked at her frightened maids and shouted for help. However, those maids were so frightened by Bai Yue's thundering methods that they involuntarily fled towards the door, trying to escape from this nightmare.

But the other party's movements were obviously faster. She flashed lightly and blocked everyone's way.

Immediately afterwards, several silver lights flashed, and the maids felt severe pain under their feet. Several sharp scalpels pierced their soles, making them unable to move and could only scream and wail.

"Okay, it's your turn next!"

Bai Yue stopped Chen Yingran who was trying to escape, then pried her mouth open and stuffed the ring directly into her mouth.

"Since this is your family heirloom, keep it safe in your heart, so that no one else will suffer inexplicable injustice because of this thing in the future!"

"Sister, I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please let me go. I promise to let the prince divorce me tomorrow!"

After being forced to swallow the ring, Chen Yingran cried in horror.
