Chapter 16
“Your Highness…” Wu Ruofei was shocked.
The seats on the Wangjiang Tower were separate for men and women. She did not expect Chu Yihan to come over and was instantly frightened.
However, the ladies beside her reminded her, “His Highness definitely won’t help this idiot. Maybe he wants to see you teach her a lesson!”
“Yeah, Ruofei, don’t be afraid!”
Wu Ruofei was used to being pampered and had never been very smart. Hearing this, she suddenly became more confident.
She lifted her skirt and pointed at Su Yingxue. “I want her to compensate me for this dress and kneel down and kowtow to me! Your Highness, my mother ordered this for me at the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. It’s extremely precious and there’s only one of it in Jiang Du City! Su Yingxue kicked me just now. She should kowtow and apologize to me!”
“Oh?” Chu Yihan raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yingxue. “Are you going to pay and kneel?”
Su Yingxue rolled her eyes. “No!”
Seeing Chu Yihan reprimand Su Yingxue, Wu Ruofei thought that he would back her up, so she quickly took advantage of the situation to suppress her. “If you don’t kneel, His Highness will definitely punish you!”
Su Yingxue’s eyes narrowed slightly as her gaze fell on the jade pendant on Chu Yihan’s waist.
He was still wearing it!
He had already changed his clothes. Why didn’t he consider changing the jade pendant and returning it to her?
“Su Yingxue, kneel down and apologize!” With Chu Yihan backing her up, Wu Ruofei was bossy.
Su Yingxue looked at her indifferently and spat out two words coldly, “Dream on.”
“You… Your Highness, you must punish her properly!” Wu Ruofei didn’t dare to approach after being beaten up by her, so she turned to Chu Yihan for help.
Chu Yihan nodded. “Indeed, we need to punish properly.”
Su Yingxue frowned slightly as she heard Chu Yihan say, “If you startle my carriage and make me unhappy, I’ll punish you to kneel and watch.”
“Your Highness, my Miss has no intention of offending you. Please forgive her!” Zhilan immediately knelt down and pleaded for Su Yingxue.
She tugged at the corner of Su Yingxue’s skirt. “Miss, quickly apologize to His Highness.”
Offending Chu Yihan was a serious matter!
If the Marquis were to find out, he would definitely severely punish the Young Miss!
Su Yingxue’s body moved slightly as she looked at Chu Yihan with disgust.
Wu Ruofei was overjoyed. She put her hands on her hips and ordered Su Yingxue, “You dare to disobey His Highness? You’ll die. Hurry up and kneel!”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
“Su Yingxue, you offended Ruofei and deserved to be punished!”
“Your Highness is really reasonable. This kind of idiot deserves to be punished!”
Chu Jinling had been waiting in the stands for a long time, but the direction of the plot was beyond his expectations. He touched his fair and handsome face. “Didn’t Imperial Uncle look at Su Yingxue differently? Why did he do this?”
Could it be that this old bachelor wanted to attract Su Yingxue’s attention?
Su Yingxue’s mind was spinning rapidly as she thought about how to avoid this damned Ninth Prince. However, she felt that he had already walked behind her and his hot breath was caressing her ear.
The man spoke in an extremely cold and deep voice. “I’m talking about you.”
The cold light in his eyes was aimed at Wu Ruofei.
Wu Ruofei’s face turned pale. “Your Highness… Didn’t you want to punish Su Yingxue?”
The ladies beside her were also stunned. Why was Wu Ruofei the person getting punished?
“I always hated saying it twice!”
Chu Yihan scolded her in a low voice. Wu Ruofei was so frightened that she immediately knelt down in front of him.
Plop.
She happened to be kneeling in front of Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. This change came really quickly.
“Heh.”
Chu Yihan’s deep breath landed on the skin behind her neck, causing her to tremble.
When Su Yingxue turned around again, he had already sat down.
Coincidentally, his position was right above hers.
Su Yingxue’s face was slightly red. Chu Yihan’s breath seemed to still be on her neck, but her heart was getting more and more complicated.
What was this man trying to do?
He had snatched her jade pendant and was deliberately teasing her today!
And it was like this…
Since her rebirth, this was the first time she couldn’t understand someone clearly!
Everyone took their seats, except for Wu Ruofei, who was still kneeling on the ground.
She was pampered and had never even knelt before her parents at home. At this moment, it was fine if she knelt in front of Su Yingxue in humiliation, but she still had to kneel and watch the competition.
She cried out in grievance, “Boohoo, why is Your Highness punishing me? Su Yingxue was clearly the one bullying me!”
A woman behind her kindly advised her, “Don’t say anymore. If you continue to anger His Highness, you will implicate Father!”
“None of your business!” Wu Ruofei had a bad temper and slapped her.
Wu Jinyan lowered her head and stopped trying to persuade her.
Chu Yihan, on the other hand, heard this and replied in public, “Because I don’t like you.”
Didn’t like her?
This made Wu Ruofei even more indignant. Her delicate face was flushed red, and her face was full of tears. “Your Highness, why don’t you like me? Then what about Su Yingxue?”
“She’s prettier than you.”
Chu Yihan supported his head with his hand as his gaze swept past Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue wrapped her arms and resisted the urge to look back at Chu Yihan.
Was this man deliberately using her to humiliate Wu Ruofei?
Wu Ruofei started crying like a child.
From the beginning of the competition to the end, she knelt for four whole hours.
In these two hours, Chu Jinling had been writing furiously and had already finished a wonderful chapter of the story. The last sentence he wrote was: The woman wasn’t moved, but the man had long yearned for her.
He closed the book and sized Chu Yihan up. He felt that the writing was too realistic!
His Imperial Uncle had taken a fancy to Su Yingxue!
He brazenly said that she was pretty!
Even if the young lady ignored him, he would still look at her from time to time. Tsk tsk!
“Twenty-fifth match, Su Hao wins!”
The sound of the gong sounded in the arena. Su Hao’s tall figure landed steadily on the stage. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and he looked heroic.
“Wow, General Su is so handsome!”
“General Su’s martial arts are strong, he will definitely be promoted this time!”
“Sob sob sob, I really want to marry him! Brother Su is the best!”
Su Yingxue was also happy for Su Hao. She stood on the observation platform and shouted, “Brother, you can do it!”
Su Hao turned around and smiled at her, causing countless women on the observation platform to scream crazily.
“Ah! General Su smiled! He’s so handsome!”
“Brother Su must be smiling at me! It must be!”
“Tsk, they’re thinking too much! The Eldest Young Master is smiling at Miss! How could it be smiling at them!” Zhilan sneered.
Su Yingxue curled her lips and smiled back at Su Hao. However, she noticed Su Hao’s gaze was looking to the other side. Before she could see who he was looking at, he immediately focused on the competition.
The twenty-sixth match, Su Hao versus Su Jinxuan!”
“Su Hao versus Su Jinxuan!” The competitor announced three times in a row with a loud voice.
The time it took to brew a cup of tea passed. The opposite side of Su Hao was empty, and Su Jinxuan was nowhere to be seen.
Su Yingxue frowned slightly. She thought of the battle between Su Jinxuan and Su Hao in her previous life. The outcome was that Su Hao was heavily injured and lost to Su Jinxuan. Now that Su Hao had recovered from his injuries and won ten consecutive battles, Su Jinxuan probably did not dare to fight him anymore.
