Prince Qi secretly rejoiced, thinking, "Luckily I didn't say anything, or I would have gotten kicked too."

Seeing this, Xiao Han didn't know what to say. He took a bottle of ointment and handed it to Prince Xuan: "Sixth Brother, take this ointment back and apply it. It will quickly reduce the swelling and effectively relieve the pain."

King Xuan accepted it with a resentful expression, and the more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt. He, a prince, had been trampled on by a mere woman.

"No, Seventh Brother, go and fetch her." King Xuan said angrily, "Make her apologize to me, or I'm not leaving today."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han looked troubled. He knew that Chu Qing would definitely not be willing to apologize, and the situation would only become more ugly.

He pondered for a moment and said softly, "Sixth Brother, why don't we just let this matter go? Let's not hold it against her."

Prince Qi pondered Xiao Han's words. Judging from the girl's demeanor, she must be someone who wouldn't easily back down.

You can't force someone to apologize just because of your power! Besides, my seventh brother needs her help with his medical treatment! It wouldn't be good to offend her.

Thinking of this, he turned to Prince Xuan beside him and advised, "Yes, Sixth Brother, in my opinion, let's just let this matter go! We can't really hold a grudge against a girl, can we? Let's go back!"

King Xuan pondered it carefully and felt that what they said made sense. He thought it best to let it go. It was not the behavior of a great man to argue with a woman over such a trivial matter.

He sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I guess I'm just unlucky today. Seventh brother, if you're not feeling well, you should rest and recuperate. Fifth brother and I will head back to the manor first."

Seeing that Prince Xuan was no longer pursuing the matter, Xiao Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief and his face returned to a relaxed expression: "Well, I'll see you out of the manor."

They helped Prince Xuan to the gate of the mansion, where they ran into Long Chuqing, who was about to leave.

King Xuan pointed excitedly at Long Chuqing: "Stop right there!"

He had intended to let it go, but unexpectedly he ran into her again at the door. At that moment, his foot was hurting terribly, and he felt extremely wronged. He had come to the Prince's mansion to visit the seventh prince, but ended up getting injured.

Long Chuqing slowly turned her head to look at him, a sincere smile on her face: "Are you calling me? What's wrong? Are you going back? Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to eat before you leave?"

She then looked at Xiao Han: "Your Highness, why didn't you invite my brother to stay for a meal before he went back? It makes it seem like the Prince's residence is not hospitable enough."

Xiao Han looked at her helplessly, unsure how to answer, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say. He felt that if things continued like this, another conflict would definitely break out.

King Xuan stood there, and seeing her indifferent attitude only fueled his anger. After hearing her words, he glared at her with a furious expression: "You injured me, you must apologize."

Upon hearing this, Long Chuqing glanced down at the foot of Prince Xuan that she had injured. She had indeed stepped on it quite hard, but an apology was out of the question.

"Um," she looked up, smiled at King Xuan, "I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave and won't see you off." With that, she turned and prepared to slip away.

Upon seeing this, King Xuan disregarded his injured leg, lifted his injured leg, rushed in front of her, and reached out to stop Long Chuqing, who was about to slip away.

He glared at him angrily and said, "How dare you! Not only did you dare to step on me, but now you even dare to ignore me and try to walk away? You must apologize to me today, or don't even think about leaving this place."

Seeing that he was blocking her way, Long Chuqing had no choice but to stop. She frowned slightly, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and stared into his eyes.

She slowly approached him step by step, the distance between them getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere became tense.

King Xuan immediately tensed up, staggering backward. He was at a loss under her gaze, and gradually his gaze became evasive, unable to look her in the eye.

His cheeks flushed slightly. He had completely lost his usual composure and appeared uneasy. He was filled with regret.

The woman in front of him was hateful, but also undeniably beautiful. After staring into her eyes for a while, he found himself unconsciously forgetting his anger. He murmured, "What... what are you going to do?"

He stammered, his tone unconsciously becoming flustered.

Xiao Han and Prince Qi, who were standing to the side, were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, hesitating whether to step forward to dissuade them or which side to help.

Looking at the embarrassed Prince Xuan in front of her, Long Chuqing smiled and said with a sly smile, "Nothing, but if you keep blocking my way, I can't guarantee I won't cripple your other foot too."

Although her tone was relaxed and casual, it carried a hint of threat. King Xuan swallowed hard, knowing full well that she might actually do it.

Seeing that the situation was turning bad, Xiao Han and Prince Qi stepped forward to try and calm things down. "Let's talk this out."

"Sixth Brother." Prince Qi stepped forward and pulled Prince Xuan aside, saying, "Sixth Brother, didn't we say we wouldn't hold it against her? If this causes a scene at the gate, it won't sound good if word gets out."

King Xuan fell silent, pondering King Qi's words. He felt that what King Qi said made sense, after all, they were standing at the gate, with people coming and going on the road.

If this stalemate continues, it won't end well. People who don't know the situation might think he's bullying the girl!

Secondly, recalling the time she stepped on him before, he still felt a slight pain! He was really afraid that she would step on him again.

Xiao Han stepped forward and pulled Long Chuqing away, creating distance between them. He glanced at Prince Xuan, then turned to look at Long Chuqing.

With a smile, she said, "Chu Qing, are you going out? If so, then hurry up! The carriage is ready, don't delay." As she spoke, she pulled her hand and slowly walked towards the direction of the carriage.

Long Chuqing followed him helplessly to the carriage, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I was just joking with him! I won't really kick him."

Xiao Han smiled slightly and said softly, "I know, don't hold it against my sixth brother. He doesn't mean any harm. He just felt wronged by being stepped on for no reason, but he'll forget about it afterward."

"How could I possibly hold a grudge against him!" Long Chuqing sighed softly. "Never mind, I'll be going now."

Xiao Han nodded to her: "Okay, be careful on the road."

After speaking, Long Chuqing stepped lightly into the carriage, and Zi Guang carefully followed behind. With the driver Uncle Chen cracking the whip, the carriage soon drove away from the mansion.

Inside the carriage, Zi Guang was still reeling from the scene of Long Chuqing confronting Prince Xuan head-on. She had been terrified watching it; the other side was a prince, wasn't the young lady afraid?

She hesitated for a moment, then asked timidly, "Miss, that was His Highness Prince Xuan. Wouldn't it be bad to offend him?"

"It's okay, I'm not afraid. He doesn't seem like a bad person, he's just a little temperamental. Besides, I did step on him and hurt him, so it's understandable that he's angry." After saying that, Long Chuqing smiled awkwardly.
