Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"That's right, all of this is a trick I carefully planned. Min'er, if you feel resentful, just put all the blame on me!"

"Xingyu, Min'er has long been in love with you. I beg you, for the sake of our friendship, can you be with her?"

Although she said that she hoped Chu Xingyu and Ning Miner would be together, tears were glistening in her eyes and she held Chu Xingyu tightly in her hands, as if she was afraid that if she didn't do this, the other person would be snatched away by someone else.

"This……"

Chu Xingyu now understood in his heart that what happened today had nothing to do with Bai Yue.

But he wasn't sure whether this was a carefully planned scheme by the young lady from the Earl's Mansion, or whether Su Mengqi was the manipulator behind the scenes as she said...

"What do you mean I'm only with you for your sake? It's come to this, why are you still pretending to be a cold, elegant, and aloof fairy?"

The more Ning Min'er listened to Su Mengqi's words, the more uncomfortable she felt. The other party seemed to take all the responsibility on herself, but the subtext was that she, Su Mengqi, was not wrong. She took on all the bad things Ning Min'er had done for the sake of friendship.

"Lu Caiwei, please say something quickly! Is it Su Mengqi who instigated us to come up with this awful plan today?"

Ning Miner pointed the finger at Lu Caiwei on the side, and she questioned her almost with gritted teeth.

"Ms. Ning, Ms. Su, I really don't know anything. My family is just a small Shangshu Mansion. How can we be compared with such a noble family as yours?"

Lu Caiwei covered her ears tightly with her hands and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Young Marquis, if you're willing, please accompany me to the Qinghe County Princess's Mansion later."

"Her Highness was deceived by Su Mengqi and actually went outside the hostage house to provoke her. In the end, Crown Princess Chenyun forcibly pulled out three of her teeth!"

Ning Min'er had no scruples at this moment. She would never let Su Mengqi completely shirk her responsibilities.

When Su Mengqi heard that she had to go to confront Princess Qinghe, she looked at Chu Xingyu with pleading and helplessness in her eyes.

"Xingyu, you have to believe me. I really don't mean any harm. It's just...it's just that things developed too quickly. I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and anyone who heard it would think she was innocent.

"Are you done with this? After all this talk, have you ever considered the feelings of the innocent people you've implicated?"

Bai Yue's voice was like the cold wind of early winter, piercing the hearts of the girls present. They instantly became like frozen squirrels, stuttering and unable to speak.

"You, the daughter of the Earl's family, you let your servants frame me. Shouldn't we settle this account?"

Bai Yue's eyes were as cold as ice as she stared directly at Ning Min'er. Under her gaze, the other party seemed to be hit by an invisible force. Her body softened and she collapsed to the ground.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess, I was wrong! I will go back immediately to punish that servant and then expel him from the mansion."

"Please, sir, please let me go this time. Please don't pull out my teeth!"

Ning Miner's voice was trembling with tears, and she was begging for mercy.

"How you deal with your servants is your family affair, but I hope you can help me pass on a message to those noble ladies who are obsessed with Chu Xingyu. The relationship between Chu Xingyu and me is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and we have no connection at all."

"If you really want to find trouble, you should go find Su Mengqi who's hiding behind Chu Xingyu!"

Bai Yue pointed at Su Mengqi who was dodging behind Chu Xingyu and spoke calmly.

"Yes, I understand. From now on, I will treat my 'good sister' well."

Su Mengqi's evasion just now made Ning Miner see through her true character.

The resentment in her heart towards Su Mengqi burned like a raging fire, and she vowed to make this so-called "good sister"'s life a hundred times more difficult in the future than it was now.

"Well, then this..."

As soon as Bai Yue's eyes touched Lu Caiwei, she was like a frightened deer, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and her crying echoed throughout the lobby.

"Hey, Miss Earl's Mansion, could you please comfort this girl? I just glanced at her and don't intend to hold her responsible. She doesn't need to be so scared!"

Bai Yue shook her head helplessly. It seemed that she had become notorious these days.

"What about you..."

Bai Yue's gaze finally fixed on Su Mengqi. When she saw Bai Yue looking at her, she quickly hid behind Chu Xingyu like a frightened bird, and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

"Xingyu, protect me!"

"That...Crown Princess, Meng Qi..."

Chu Xingyu now realized that he had misunderstood Bai Yue before. He looked at her, feeling a little helpless.

"Young Marquis, I actually have something to tell you..."

Bai Yue paused for a moment and then spoke solemnly.

"From now on, you and I are strangers. Even if we meet again, I won't talk to you, and you don't need to pay attention to me..."

Although Bai Yue's words were simple, every word was like an icy arrow, shooting into Chu Xingyu's heart.

"Why? Is it just because of this little thing today?"

Chu Xingyu was eager to explain. He couldn't accept Bai Yue's decisive decision to sever their relationship.

"Little things?"

Bai Yue chuckled, with a sharp look in her eyes.

"As soon as I walked in, you insulted me in front of everyone. If it were you, would you think this was a small matter?"

"This……"

"By the way, you are the young marquis. For someone of your noble status, humiliating others at will is not a big deal!"

Bai Yue didn't wait for Chu Xingyu to answer, and began to explain for him as if she remembered something.

"With someone of your status as a friend, there's no need to worry no matter what mistakes you make. I guess Miss Su feels the same way, so even if she rejects the young marquis's proposal, she wouldn't want to lose this support!"

Bai Yue turned to look at Su Mengqi, but the other party said with forced calmness.

"Xingyu and I are just friends. I never thought of using his power..."

"Oh, yes, Prime Minister Su's family is also extremely powerful. Otherwise, once Miss Su came to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to file a complaint, they would have dared to come to the hostage house and bring the Crown Princess of another country to the hall for interrogation."

"Your Highness, please forgive us. We were in a hurry at the time. It was the young marquis who told us not to worry too much..."

At this time, the officials in the hall seemed to understand and knelt down towards Bai Yue. The other party was a member of the royal family. If the court wanted to blame them, they would be the first to be punished.

"So, the young marquis's noble status is really useful. Miss Su, as long as you act like you're still connected, the other party will definitely do everything they can to accomplish what you want!"

"No, I didn't use Xingyu, you're talking nonsense..."

After looking at Chu Xingyu's uncertain expression, Su Mengqi loudly defended herself to Bai Yue.

"Miss Su, you must have someone you like. If the other person knew that you were flirting with other men and being ambiguous, how would he feel?"

Bai Yue looked at Su Mengqi and asked seriously.

"When did I become ambiguous with others..."

Before Su Mengqi finished speaking, Ning Miner spoke with a slightly sarcastic voice.

"When did it happen? Wasn't it just now? I don't know who was crying and telling the young marquis that Crown Princess Chenyun didn't do it on purpose, while lying in his arms and sobbing!"

"me…"

Su Mengqi was speechless after hearing what Ning Miner said. After all, that was her usual trick. She never expected that it would be pointed out in public today.

"Well, under the guise of friendship, you don't allow other women to appear around him. This shouldn't be the first time you've done this..."

Bai Yue looked directly into Su Mengqi's eyes, and the other party immediately lowered her head in fear.

"Young Marquis, I can see that although Miss Su Mengqi has someone else in her heart, she is unwilling to lose a loyal suitor like you."

"You two are a perfect match. One is such a jerk, but thinks he's philanthropic, and the other is such a fool, but thinks he's infatuated!"

"So, just continue your love game. I'm just an innocent passerby and don't want to be dragged into this mess."

"Hahaha, Your Highness, your summary is so spot on. I'm deeply impressed!"

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Ning Miner said, laughing breathlessly.

"Caiwei, you see, although this Crown Princess is terrifying, every word she says is truly classic and admirable. When I go back, I will tell all the noble ladies in the capital about what she said, so that everyone can see what kind of character our most talented woman in the capital is!"

"Well, that's all I have to say. I'll take my leave now!"

Bai Yue felt that she had said everything she needed to say. After bowing to everyone, she prepared to leave with Xiaoyi.

Just as they were about to walk out of the lobby, Chu Xingyu suddenly shouted loudly.

"Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with me?"

Bai Yue stopped, looked back at Chu Xingyu, and smiled faintly.

"But I don't want to think about it now..."

After Bai Yue said this, she walked out without looking back, leaving Chu Xingyu standing there, staring blankly in the direction she left.

"Xingyu, I..."

Su Mengqi stared at Chu Xingyu's pale face, which seemed to be abandoned by the world, and alarm bells immediately began to ring in her heart. She couldn't help but stretch out her right hand and gently put her arm around the other person's arm.

However, the moment her hand touched the other person, he suddenly shook her hand away and said in a hoarse voice.

"Mengqi, I...I need some quiet time now..."

"Crown Princess Chenyun is right. Since you already have someone you love, we should not meet again..."

Chu Xingyu looked at Su Mengqi, his eyes that were once full of love were now dim.

"I'm leaving, take care of yourself..."

Chu Xingyu turned around and left resolutely, never looking back at her again.

At this time, Ning Miner, with a smug smile on her face, took Lu Caiwei's hand, walked to Su Mengqi and sneered.

"Miss Su, looking at this situation, it seems that the young marquis should have seen your true face clearly!"

"Caiwei and I have things to do, so I'll have to trouble you to clean up the mess in the lobby."

After she finished speaking, she turned to the bewildered officials standing beside her.

"Please tell Lord Jingzhao Yin that today's case is nothing more than a misunderstanding. Miss Lu and I have decided not to pursue the matter further."

"If Miss Su feels that she is still angry, then she can handle it herself!"

After Ning Miner said this, she pulled Lu Caiwei and left with her head held high, like a victorious peacock.

Su Mengqi was left alone, facing the complicated gazes of the officials around her. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but a raging rage was burning in her heart.

"I, Su Mengqi, will remember the humiliation I suffered today and will repay you a hundredfold one day!"

She swore secretly in her heart, as if she wanted to engrave everything that happened today into her bones.

"Report to the players, Chu Xingyu has a good impression of you, a good impression of you..."

"Hey, Xiao1, why are you hesitating? Is there anything you can't just say?"

Sitting in the carriage returning to the Proton Mansion, Bai Yue looked at the scenery outside the window while communicating with Xiao 1 in her mind.

"I...I'm just worried that you'll be upset again because of Chu Xingyu's matter. I'm afraid that if I tell you, you'll be even angrier."

There was a hint of caution in Xiao 1's voice, as if he was testing Bai Yue's mood.

"Huh? Angry? How could I be angry?"

Bai Yue frowned slightly, obviously puzzled by Xiao 1's guess.

"Oh, stop pretending! Didn't you just have a falling out with him and swear you'd never talk to him again? How can you not look angry?"

There was a certainty in Xiao 1's tone, as if he had seen the truth.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about. I just think it's too much trouble to get entangled with him. Didn't you see how many public opinion points I lost because of him these past few days? This is a huge loss for me!"

Bai Yue's voice was full of determination, as if she was talking about something extremely important.

"So... you don't actually care about Chu Xingyu's attitude towards you, but you just don't want to pay attention to him because he's hindering you from collecting public opinion points?"

Xiao 1 asked tentatively.

"That's right! I must promptly eliminate any factors that affect my ability to complete the task, so as to ensure that I can achieve my goal efficiently and quickly."

"Then, if I count everything related to Chu Xingyu in the future as a side quest and give you a generous reward, are you still willing to do it with him..."

"Ah! You should have said it earlier! I've already made some harsh remarks. Sigh, with Chu Xingyu's personality, it might be difficult to smooth things over with him..."

When Bai Yue heard this, she sighed in annoyance.
