Cold-faced Empress

"I knew she was up to no good, trying to seduce Brother Bai. She really is a vixen!"

Ji Xiangrong paced back and forth in anger, at a loss for a long time. She anxiously asked the old woman, "What should I do? She's no longer engaged and can be with Brother Bai legitimately. What about me?"

"Miss, don't worry, you and Young Master Zhiyu have a bond."

Fu Fangwei interrupted the old woman directly: "Young Master Zhiyu is staying in the capital, while Miss Ji is far away in Pingcheng. With the emperor far away, how can we prevent someone from taking advantage of their proximity? Miss Ji, if you don't resolve things before we leave Pingcheng, then you'd better be prepared for Young Master Zhiyu and my sister to develop feelings for each other over time."

Love grows over time!

Those four words made Ji Xiangrong's eyes red with anger: "I will absolutely not allow it!"

After Fu Fangwei left, the old woman advised the furious Ji Xiangrong: "Miss, that's Miss Fu's sister, she shouldn't have helped us. If you have any plans, you should discuss them with Madam first."

As the banquet was drawing to a close, Fu Siying noticed Ji Xiangrong entering her line of sight with a smug and vindictive expression. She didn't know why the girl suddenly had this mood, but she didn't care. However, she saw Ji Xiangrong walking straight towards her.

Ji Xiangrong stopped and gave Fu Siying a cold smile. Madam Ji had just secretly inquired from the Fu family servants that Miss Fu had indeed broken off her engagement!

"Miss Fu, I think you're a pitiful person too. I'll warn you one last time: don't try to take Brother Bai from me!" Ji Xiangrong said fiercely. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Fu Siying frowned abruptly. At the same time, she keenly noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Ji had only given their daughter a few lukewarm reprimands, without showing any alarm as they had yesterday.

The change in attitude can happen in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Fu Siying narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression hidden behind the beaded curtain was unfriendly.

Do you think she's a pitiful person?

Clearly, someone had informed the Ji family about her breaking off her engagement with Prince Mu.

Prime Minister Fu and Madam Li were both at a distance; Fu Siying was only with Yunzhi and Rongchen. Would she endure such humiliation in front of her younger sister and brother?

Fu Siying picked up a wine glass from the table and splashed it on Ji Xiangrong's face.

With a "plop," Ji Xiangrong, who was caught off guard, was splashed with wine all over her face!

"you!"

The entire garden fell silent instantly, and everyone stared in astonishment at Miss Fu. Prime Minister Fu and Madam Li, who had been surrounded, approached in surprise.

Fu Siying made no attempt to hide her anger, rising to her feet with an icy tone: "Miss Ji, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"

Mr. and Mrs. Ji rushed forward: "What's wrong? Miss Fu, please don't be angry. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Ji Xiangrong yelled, "You dare splash me?! What are you pretending for? You've already..."

"Xiangrong!" Father Ji shouted, stopping his daughter from announcing the annulment of the engagement.

Ji's father was shrewd and knew how to leave himself an escape route. Fu Siying's tough attitude naturally made him doubt the accuracy of the information. Little did he know that even without Prince Mu as her backer, Fu Siying's unbridled arrogance was notorious.

Ji Xiangrong dared to come to the door to provoke them, and being splashed with wine was the least of her worries, because Fu Siying was too lazy to pay any attention to her.

“Master Ji, Miss Ji, the crude manners of your family are truly an eye-opener for me. Please forgive my family and me for being unable to tolerate tonight’s apology banquet.”

Having said that, she led Yunzhi and Rongchen away from their seats amidst the astonished gazes of the guests. Prime Minister Fu and Madam Li had just arrived, but she stopped them and persuaded them to leave.

Immediately, Master Ji panicked completely: "Prime Minister! Wait, there's a misunderstanding!"

The Fu family left without looking back. Fu Er's wife and Fu Fangwei, who hurriedly followed, exchanged a glance, also surprised, not expecting Fu Siying to be so tough.

A perfectly good apology banquet ended with the distinguished guest angrily storming off, and the Ji family was also reprimanded for their poor upbringing.

As the richest family in Pingcheng, the Ji family is the least likely to be criticized for their family upbringing.

The guests were abuzz with discussion.

"I noticed what Miss Ji said to Miss Fu that made Miss Fu so furious."

"The Ji family has suffered a double loss tonight, all their efforts were in vain."
