Lian Ruyue lightly glanced at him and said, "Miss Fan, Miss Liu, I'm afraid you are mistaken. This is just a rotten beggar. How could he be my third sister?"
"Could I have seen wrongly?" Fan Yu had a puzzled look on his face. When he wanted to look again, the beggar's face was no longer facing her.
"From the sound of it, I also thought it was the Lian Clan's Third Miss." Remembering what happened at the horse farm, she couldn't help but take another glance at Lian Ruyue.
"Why don't we go over and take a look and see if it's our Third Miss?"
"No, there's no need, there's no need to look." When Fan Yu heard this, she immediately stopped. She didn't want to get close to such a dirty and smelly beggar. Besides, whether or not he was Shiya or not had anything to do with her.
"Miss Liang, would you like to take a look?" Lian Xiyue gazed at Liang Runan.
"..." "There's no need for that." Liang Runan was actually thinking the same thing as Fan Yu. Who this person was had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, she had already experienced Lian Ruyue's methods, so there was no need to go against her.
The anger and hatred in her eyes flared up, but there was nothing she could do. She was unable to speak, and she could not approach Lian Ruyue. She finally realized that the difference between Lian Ruyue and her was like heaven and earth.
"County Lord, what happened?" At this time, the monks and teachers of the Nine Flower Temple heard the news and came.
"What a strange beggar! He wants to assassinate the county lord, hurry up and call the soldiers!" Liu Yanyu was timid. Although the "beggar" had already been subdued, she still had some lingering fear. Her hand tightly gripped the handkerchief as she said this.
"There are many good men and women today, so officers and soldiers don't need to be called. Otherwise, everyone would be alarmed and the reputation of the Nine Flower Temple would be affected. It would be fine if my servant girl brought her to the government." Lian Ruyue said.
"What the county governor said makes sense. He looks like a lunatic. If the news gets out, it'll be bad." Liu Yanyu said.
Thus, Lian Ruyue signalled to Leng Mei to bring Lian Shiya away. After a short period of chaos, the young mistresses started to smile and chat again.
"That should be Lian Shiya right …" Liu Xi Ren whispered into Lian Ruyue's ear when everyone wasn't paying attention.
Lian Ruyue nodded lightly.
A hint of shock appeared in Liu Xi's eyes, then he sneered and said, "Based on her arrogant appearance, it's not strange that she wants to steal something that originally belonged to you even though she's obviously born from a brothel."
"Yo, isn't this the County Lord Rong He?" At this moment, a mocking sneer came from the side. Everyone saw Princess He Yun sitting in the palanquin that was carried by four people. Dozens of servants, servants, and maidservants accompanied her. The scene was extremely grand.
Every single one of them was of a lower grade than Xiao Rou, so no one was allowed to stand up and greet her.
"Greetings, Princess."
"Princess, you're here to pray for your blessings on your marriage, right? Congratulations to you, Princess." Fan Yu said with a smile.
"Hmph …" Xiao Rou gave her a cold look and said, "Fan Yu, your father has committed a crime and was punished by my father with a salary. You are still in the mood to chat and laugh. It is truly a misfortune for General Fan to have a daughter like you."
She was the one who hated playing with Lian Ruyue. Since Fan Yu was so close to Lian Ruyue, he would naturally be bullied by her.
Being reprimanded by Xiao Rou, Fan Yu's face alternated between red and white.
Xiao Rou said sarcastically, "The like gather together." The four words, along with a few other people present, were all scolded.
Xiao Rou looked down at the crowd and said disdainfully to Lian Ru Yue, "Lian Ru Yue, this princess will order you to come here and wait upon me when I get off the palanquin and drive you away. You should know that this princess' legs are inconvenient."
She was the true First-grade princess bestowed by the emperor, and was much higher than Lian Hanyue's position as the county lord. With so many people here, Lian Hanyue would serve them, and she knew that she wouldn't dare to disobey. But who told that slut, Lian Hanyue, to go against the Fourth Prince time and time again?
Everyone was stunned. There were so many servants following beside Princess Hanyun, yet they called her Lian Ruyue to accompany her from the palanquin. This was obviously deliberately making things difficult for Lian Ruyue. What would Lian Ruyue do?
Lian Ru Yue had a carefree smile on her face as she walked to the side of Xiao Rou's palanquin. She casually stretched out her hand and said, "It's my honor to help the princess off the palanquin. Let the princess off the palanquin."
Xiao Rou was stunned. She didn't expect that Lian Ru Yue didn't mind at all when she got off the palanquin. Instead, she stretched out her hand and hesitated …
She raised her eyes and glanced at Lian Ruyue. She was smiling; her smile was so gentle and without any flaws, yet it caused her entire body to tremble. A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart —
Xiao Rou suddenly retracted her hand to hide the nervousness in her heart. Coughing lightly, she said, "Forget it, I'm afraid that you'll let me fall on purpose, so you don't need to help me. Su Yin, let's go. I still need to go pray for His Highness' blessings and protect him from being framed by evil people again and again!"
Xiao Rou seemed to be referring to something as she glanced at Lian Ru Yue, as if telling everyone that the evil person she was referring to was Lian Ru Yue.
"Princess, take care. The road down the mountain is steep. You must be careful." Lian Ru Yue looked at Xiao Rou and 'concernedly' reminded her.
"Don't worry, I've already fallen once. I won't fall again this time." A smile appeared on Xiao Rou's face as she said, "The Fourth Prince and I will walk together. We will walk steadily."
Lian Ru Yue watched as Xiao Rou's palanquin walked far away and couldn't help but shake her head. It was truly pitiful and lamentable. She wondered what Xiao Rou's reaction would be if she knew that she had nearly died at Feng Qianyue's hands.
Leng Mei grabbed Lian Shiya's collar and threw her out of the Nine Flower Temple. She looked down at her condescendingly and coldly said:
"Be a good beggar and don't get any closer to the First Miss. Next time, I'll definitely take your life!"
Her expressionless face made Lian Shiya shudder in fear. She asked:
"Who exactly are you? Who sent you to Lian Ruyue's side? "You are no ordinary servant."
"I was sent by the Ninth Prince, so don't have any ideas about Eldest Miss. Anyone who has ideas about Eldest Miss, he definitely won't let them go. If you don't believe me, you can try!" With that, he turned around and quickly left.
What? Ninth Prince …
Lian Shiya was stunned. In her mind, she recalled the time when this "green branch" (cold brows) entered the mansion. Lian Ruyue had just returned from Yao City not long ago. Has the Ninth Prince been protecting Lian Rui since then?
She thought of Ninth Prince's grace and his status, making her envious. She clenched her fists tightly, why, why would anyone think of her like this and protect her, while she had become a beggar in people's mouths!
