Ma Hao lowered his head in shame immediately and said in a contrite manner, âI donât dare to lie to you, Eldest Princess. I came this time because of my unfilial son. He did such a ridiculous thing, and I can only say that I didnât discipline him well. Eldest Princess, please spare him this time on my account.â
Seeing the grief and anxiety on Ma Haoâs face, Yu Yunxi recalled what Jiang Ying had reported to her not long ago: Ma Wanyang had been captured on the mountain and was now in prison. It was only natural that Ma Hao was anxious.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCommander Ma, I canât do anything about this matter. If you feel that thereâs any injustice in the case, please look for the capitalâs magistrate, â Yu Yunxi said coldly.
Ma Hao clenched his hands into fists when he heard this, looking slightly angry. Zuo Yingyao was very stubborn. He had gone to look for Zuo Yingyao earlier, but Zuo Yingyao refused to let his son go.
Ma Haoâs head was still lowered as he gritted his teeth and said, âIâve already looked for the magistrate regarding this matter. However, he said that only you can make the decision, Eldest Princess, so he canât let my son go. Eldest Princess, my son has indeed gone too far this time. Iâll definitely discipline him well after this. Please give him a chance.â
âCommander Ma, your son is not young anymore. If you really wanted to discipline him, you should have done so a long time ago. Why wait until now?â Yu Yunxi asked with a smile.
Ma Haoâs smile vanished immediately.
âIs she saying that I didnât teach my son well?â
Ma Hao was infuriated. However, he remembered that he came to plead for mercy so he could only suppress his anger for the time being. He lowered his head and said, âYouâre right. Itâs my fault. Iâm sorry.;â
âCommander Ma, thereâs no need to apologize to me. Your son hurt that mother and son. If you really feel bad, you should apologize to them,â Yu Yunxi said flatly.
Ma Hao was about to explode from anger when he heard this.
âShe wants me to apologize to those two lowly things? Impossible!â
Yu Yunxi crossed her arms and continued to say with a faint smile,
âCommander, if you donât apologize to them, I canât let your son off.â
Ma Haoâs expression was extremely hideous at this moment. He took a deep breath to calm down before he said, âYes, Eldest Princess. Iâll definitely apologize to them. Iâll take my leave first.â
Ma Hao quickly left. He had to apologize to the mother and son quickly so he could save his son.
Although Ma Hao had left, Qin Wencheng shamelessly stayed behind. He said,
âEldest Princess, itâs my fault for offending you previously. I apologize to you.â
Yu Yunxi said unhappily, âAlright, now that youâve apologized, shouldnât you leave?â
Yu Yunxi did not want to be stared at by a despicable person while she ate.
Seeing how dismissive she was, Qin Wenchengâs gaze darkened, and an angry expression appeared on his face. However, when he looked up, only a gentle smile could be seen on his face. Then, he feigned a troubled expression on his face as he began to persuade Yu Yunxi.
âEldest Princess, Iâd like to remind you that the King of Youshan is not a good person. Youâre innocent and kind so donât be deceived by him.â
Yu Yunxi:
âI am innocent and kind? Is he blind?â
Feng Yili:
Luo Xiuran:
âThis stupid thing really overestimated himself. He actually tried to sow discord between Yili and Yunxi?â
Feng Yili sized Qin Wencheng up with a cold gaze as he laughed coldly. Then, he said, âYoung Lord Qin, do you think Iâm a bad person? Youâre right. I do all kinds of evil. I like to pull out the tendons and bones of people I donât like.â
Qin Wenchengâs body stiffened, and his smile turned unnatural. He was anxious to get Yu Yunxi away from Feng Yili so he had forgotten how terrifying the King of Youshan, who drank blood and ate flesh, was. However, he could only bite the bullet and continue to say, âEldest Princess, please practice good judgment. Donât make friends with wicked people just because youâre angry with me.â
âAngry with him? Itâs really rare to meet such a shameless person.â
Yu Yunxi almost burst out laughing when she heard these words.
Feng Yiliâs aura was too terrifying. Qin Wencheng felt as though he was going to collapse after he said those words. He hurriedly said, âThatâs all I have to say, Eldest Princess. Iâll take my leave first.â
With that, Qin Wencheng fled the room.
Luo Xiuran could not help but complain, âThat stupid thing actually wanted to sow discord!â
âAlright, we donât have to care about those irrelevant people. Letâs eat,â Yu Yunxi said calmly. She was upset that Ma Hao and Qin Wencheng had delayed her from eating.
Luo Xiuran was also very hungry. He quickly picked up his chopsticks and began to wolf down the food.
Yu Yunxi furrowed her brows slightly when she saw this. She asked in a strange tone, âYoung Marquis Luo, it seems like you fled all the way to the capital. Was the journey here very tiring?â
âOf course! We rushed here at full speed and didnât stop to rest at all. I couldnât eat and sleep well; I almost collapsed! After arriving at the capital, I still had to guard against hidden danger! I didnât have time to eat today either!â Luo Xiuran complained unhappily.
Yu Yunxi trown deepened.
âAlthough the fief is far from the capital, it shouldnât be as bad as he said⦠Based on the way he talked, itâs as though he rushed here from another countryâ¦â
Luo Xiuran thought of something at this moment. He looked at Yu Yunxi and said, âBy the way, Eldest Princess, I have a question. You told Ma Hao that you wonât let Ma Wanyang go unless he apologizes to the mother and son. If they forgive him, doesnât this mean youâll have to let that bast*rd Ma Wanyang go?â
Yu Yunxi smiled. âEveryone should bear the consequences of their actions. I naturally wonât let Ma Wanyang off so easily.â
âThen earlier you saidâ¦â
âBefore I went out this morning, I sent someone to send the mother and son out of the capital. They shouldâve long left the capital. If Ma Hao wants to apologize, he has to find them first,â Yu Yunxi said calmly.
âI see! As it turns out, Yunxi was toying with Ma Hao!â
Luo Xiuran smacked his thigh as realization dawned on him. Then, he thought of another thing and said worriedly, âI heard that Ma Hao is part of the Crown Princeâs faction. If you do this, youâ¦â
On the contrary, Yu Yunxi did not seem worried at all. âDonât worry. Even without this matter, theyâll still want to kill me.â
Luo Xiuran:
âSheâs really calmâ¦â
âServe me?â
Yu Yunxi looked up and met a few pairs of bright eyes.
At this moment, one of the young men suddenly rushed to Yu Yunxiâs side and kneeled by her feet. He said seductively, âEldest Princess, my name is Ruyu. I want to stay by your side and serve you.â
Immediately after that, the teacup in Feng Yiliâs hand shattered with a loud crack..
