I smiled, then took my knife and squatted beside that man, and said, "Our King's Manor isn't that kind of people who are afraid of things. If you really got killed by them, I will punish you, but I've never seen any of my methods, and since you guys are certain that someone's carriage crashed into you, then I can only stab you to death. In any case, these two people are descendants of influential families, so they won't die because they accidentally took someone's life." As I said this, the body of the person lying on the ground started to tremble slightly.
Bai Chen also noticed something off at my side, he came over and took the blade in my hand and shouted, "Since you all decided that Miss Lee crashed to death, and even my reputation suffered, I have always been a mischievous person. Say, you made me suffer such a great anger, I have to vent it out for you, right?
"No, I was wrong. I was wrong. I don't dare to do it again. Please spare me." The man who was still feigning death on the ground immediately jumped up, kneeling in front of Bai Chen and kowtowing while begging for forgiveness.
"My lord, please spare me, I saw this young lady's luxurious carriage … The rich family's young lady wanted to extort some money from me, so you bypassed me." The man was still kowtowing on the ground.
The surrounding commoners let out a sigh. Everyone started to point their spears at the two people on the ground.
"How can there be two people as shameless as him in this world? I actually believed him, and was still trying to seek justice for them just now." The woman looked at the man angrily.
Oh, is that so? But I am very curious, there are so many carriages coming and going on this street, some of them are even more luxurious than the Miss Lee. I used to stare hard at the man.
"Me. Me. "Me." That man stuttered as he averted his eyes. I squinted my eyes. It seems that there really was something else.
"We were just thinking that it was school time, so the chances of us finding a young master or miss would be higher. Moreover, didn't the Li Residence hang on this carriage? We were thinking of the reputation of the Miss Venerable, so we decided to make our move." The girl called Cui Er next to us snatched the conversation and replied in a flustered manner.
"Oh, that's the carriage of the Li family's second young miss. Why didn't you stop it? The two carriages are exactly the same. According to you, why did you let them go the moment you saw the first carriage?" I walked to the woman's side and stared at her. Her face was pale and her eyes kept avoiding mine, not daring to meet my gaze. "No matter how I look at it, it's as if you guys were waiting for her on purpose. Do you think there is anything coincidental in this world?" I asked, holding the woman's chin and looking into her eyes.
"Us, us." The woman's face was filled with terror.
"I've heard that the people in this courtyard are the most afraid of them all. Who did you say was the one to instigate today's incident?" The bystanders began discussing one after another.
"According to what Princess has said, I'm afraid that the Second Miss is looking for someone." Someone guessed in a low voice.
"It can't be. I heard that the second young miss is a kind-hearted person. How could she do such a thing?" One of them retorted.
"That's not for sure. There's a gap between the two of us."
The discussion got louder and louder, and I noticed that Cui Er's face was extremely ugly when she heard these rumors. She really wanted to cover up those people's mouths. It seems like she belongs to that Second Miss.
I let my men take those two away. When I returned to the palace, I had plenty of time to interrogate them slowly. The surrounding people gradually dispersed, but I believed that the rumors wouldn't disperse just like that.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving me. I, Yu'er, will never forget you." With the support of a servant girl, Li Lingyu came over and bowed to me before speaking sincerely.
"It's just a small matter. Since Bai Chen has placed you at the top of his heart, how can I not help you? Furthermore, from the first look, I saw that you were very lucky. I said, smiling.
Li Lingyu's face flushed a little as she looked at Bai Chen shyly. Seeing her look at Bai Chen, I could tell that she also felt that there was hope for two of them. I was secretly happy in my heart.
"You don't need to be like the princess, you can just call me big sister, just like Bai Chen." I continued.
"When did I call you sister?" Bai Chen expressed his unwillingness on the side.
"Don't let Yu'er laugh at your lack of manners." I rebuked Bai Chen, who instantly became speechless, and even unwillingly called out "big sister" in a low voice. My heart was instantly filled with joy.
Li Lingyu didn't say anything and only looked at us with a smile. The cold and aloof aura that I had seen at the entrance of the academy was no longer present. "It's rare to meet someone who's so comfortable in the capital. If you have any problems in the future, come and find me. I'll be happy to help you." I straightforwardly patted Li Lingyu's shoulder and said.
"Then I'll thank elder sister. Elder sister is also the first person I've met in the capital that I feel like we're friends with." We smiled at each other, and then Yu'er said goodbye and got into the carriage and went home.
"Hey, he's already gone." I waved my hand in front of Bai Chen's lifeless eyes, causing him to shudder in fear.
On the carriage, Bai Chen looked at me probingly. I couldn't stand his bashful look, "If you have something to say, say it quickly." I said lightly.
"How do you know this is a trap?" Bai Chen asked curiously.
"Because I have a brain." I rolled my eyes at him. " When I was watching from the side, I noticed that something was wrong. Later on, when I was comforting that woman, I intentionally touched her palm, her hand looked like she wasn't doing farm work, didn't you see that? Her clothes didn't look like coarse linen clothes, and when I stepped on his palm while I was passing by, he subconsciously shrank back, so I knew that they were acting. "
"So that's how it is. Why didn't I notice it?" Bai Chen said with a face full of grief and indignation.
"If you had seen so many novels and televisions like me, you would also have seen that it was a trap. After all, there are many outdated novels in these novels."
Bai Chen still had a stupefied look on his face, but due to face, he didn't ask me again, and instead started a new topic of conversation. "When I go back, I will definitely peel their skin off and find out who made it. I will not let them go." Bai Chen clenched his teeth. If the culprit was in front of him, he might rush forward to take a bite.
"Is there even a need to interrogate him? Yu Er's Shunnii must have done it." I leaned against the wall of the carriage and spoke slowly with my eyes closed.
