C18 Explanation

"How do you explain it, Master Zheng?"

Xiao Chengyi pointed to Mu Qianyu who was standing in front of him and asked.

Zheng Ji's face was extremely ugly.

He didn't want to admit Mu Qianyu's identity, but he was forced by Mu Qianyu just now to say the wrong things in a moment of desperation.

Thus, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Highness, this humble subject still says that this is my family matter. I hope Your Highness won't interfere."

"What about family matters?"

Mu Qianyu sarcastically replied, "You disregarded your own daughter and caused your own aunt to die. This is a violation of the law, since it involves the law, then the Prince has the authority to manage it."

She addressed him as "Prince" with a very intimate tone, as if she had completely forgotten her displeasure from before.

Xiao Chengyi stood at the side, quietly listening, and did not say a word.

Zheng Huaiyuan, who was already flustered and exasperated, shouted angrily at Mu Qianyu: "You still hope for your highness to uphold justice for you, let me ask you, a few days ago, what was your punishment for offending your highness?"

That day, Mu Qianyu threw herself into Xiao Chengyi's embrace.

Why didn't Xiao Chengyi pursue the matter further?

If he was in the arms of a beggar who wore dirty and disfigured clothes, he would definitely kill her.

"When did I charge into the Prince?"

Mu Qianyu raised her small face, refusing to admit it.

But Xiao Chengyi's expression had already changed.

That matter was the one that he didn't want to talk about the most. He didn't think that this Zheng Huaiyuan was actually so bold, nor did he expect that this girl, Mu Qianyu, would have such a face of ignorance.

The more she acted this way, the angrier Zheng Huaiyuan became. In his fury, he pointed at Mu Qianyu and roared, "Do you take me as a blind person? That day, you intentionally threw yourself into the prince's embrace and kissed him, just to climb higher up.

"Zheng Huaiyuan!"

Two furious roars could be heard at the same time.

One was the ashen-faced Xiao Chengyi, the other was the ice-cold Mu Qianyu.

Mu Qianyu who was laughing a moment ago had a change in expression.

Other things could be said, but the matter of kissing Xiao Chengyi was something that no one else was allowed to mention.

The two of them angrily shouted at the same time, but they were both stunned at the same time. They couldn't help but turn around and look at each other with complicated expressions.

Mu Qianyu sneered at Xiao Chengyi.

The reason he was so angry, was because he was a prince, and he was just a beggar, so he felt that he had insulted him.

Yet Xiao Chengyi was thinking, it was clearly her fault, why does it seem like it was his fault?

The two of them had strange looks in their eyes, causing Zheng Ji to be extremely confused.

After all, Zheng Ji had been in the government for many years, so he was very meticulous in his thoughts.

Now that he saw the two of them like this, he knew that something was definitely wrong.

He was extremely worried. If news of what happened that year were to spread, it would not be good for his reputation.

Moreover, he had to think for his children.

His eldest daughter was the Lateral Consort, so her reputation could not be tarnished.

The second daughter and the first daughter still had to enter the palace to participate in the talent show, so their reputation couldn't be tarnished.

If his future was ruined because of this matter, then the gains would not make up for the losses.

Zheng Ji was secretly pondering on how he should handle this matter.

However, Xiao Chengyi waved his sleeve and lifted his leg to leave the Minister Mansion.

Zheng Ji was startled, this was the first time he had seen Prince Li get so angry.

Mu Qianyu was not stupid, although she was very angry, she could not stay in the Minister Mansion for long, so in order to prevent Zheng Huaiyuan from chasing after her, she followed Xiao Chengyi and ran out.

"Before This King gets angry, it's best if you disappear from This King's sight."

With an ice-cold expression, Xiao Chengyi turned around and glanced at Mu Qianyu, who was following her, and spoke with an exceptionally cold voice.

Hearing this, Mu Qianyu's face changed slightly, and she could not help but laugh: "Prince Li, to think that you're a gentleman that everyone praised. You're humble and polite, warm like jade, and in my opinion, all of this is fake."

Her expression was filled with disdain, and his eyes revealed disdain, "You just threatened Zheng Ji with my matter, and now that you have used me up, you kicked me away.

She deliberately emphasized the word 'gentleman' to an extreme degree.

Luo Jin was furious, he took out his sword and pointed it at her, shouting: Impudent, you dare to disrespect the Duke.

"So what if I'm unreasonable? If you have the ability, then attack!"

With an overbearing tone, Mu Qianyu refused to yield.

Just as she was at loggerheads with Luo Jin, Zheng Hong suddenly chased after his.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Zheng Hong first greeted his, then subconsciously stood in front of his, and anxiously said: "Prince, Third Sister did not intentionally offend you, I hope that you can be magnanimous, Master will spare her this time."

"Second brother."

Mu Qianyu's expression turned cold.

She didn't like it when others meddled with her affairs, even if it was her own brother.

"Qianyu listened to second brother, quickly apologize to the king."

Zheng Hong was afraid that in his anger, her sister would say something that would make people furious, hence she anxiously tried to persuade his.

"Drifting Feather?"

A puzzled voice suddenly came from behind.

Xiao Chengyi looked at the brother and sister duo in confusion. Who was Drifting Feather, and was not called Zheng Qingwan, could it be that he had changed his name?

Zheng Hong was startled, only then did he remember, the name Mu Qianyu, was probably something that others did not know.

"That's right."

Mu Qianyu suddenly pushed Zheng Hong aside, walked towards Xiao Chengyi, and looked him straight in the eye with a puzzled expression. Mu Qianyu raised her bright eyes and said: "Remember this, I'm Mu Qianyu.
