"The Regent's intended is full of foul language, and I kicked her away because she stank. How am I at fault?" Yun Shu retorted with a smile that was not a smile.
"You! Yun Shu, you!" Yun Yueyin's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Yun Shu in disbelief.
How dare she say she was full of foul language?!
How dare she humiliate her so in front of the Regent!
The shopkeeper and the waiter were initially startled, then burst into laughter.
This laughter made Yun Yueyin even more furious. She looked at Zhan Ming with redder, more wronged eyes.
Zhan Ming's devilishly handsome eyes narrowed, his aura terrifying.
After steadying Yun Yueyin, he walked towards Yun Shu.
"Kneel down and apologize to Yueyin," Zhan Ming said coldly.
The Yun Shu before him appeared to have a face that could topple cities, but this face was merely a mask!
Thinking of how ugly the face beneath this mask must be, Zhan Ming's expression grew colder.
How dare she insult his woman!
He raised his hand, intending to press down on Yun Shu's shoulder.
To force Yun Shu to kneel.
Yun Yueyin was extremely smug. She didn't have to lift a finger; someone else would deal with Yun Shu for her.
"Hurry and kneel, Second Miss! As long as you get Eldest Miss's forgiveness, the Regent will also forgive you!" Wen Shu sneered repeatedly. Her body was in so much pain! It hurt so, so much! How could Second Miss have such strength?
However.
Just as Zhan Ming's hand was about to touch Yun Shu.
Suddenly, his hand met empty air!
Zhan Ming looked at his empty hand in disbelief, then at Yun Shu.
Yun Shu was already standing to the side, her gaze cold. "The one who should kneel and apologize is Yun Yueyin. I'm not asking for much, just three hundred kowtows."
"What? Yun Shu, are you insane? You slandered me and insulted me, and you want me to kowtow and apologize to you?!" Yun Yueyin acted as if she had heard the most unbelievable thing.
She trembled with rage, wanting to beat Yun Shu severely.
Zhan Ming was provoked. He stared at Yun Shu, his crimson lips pressed tightly together. "Kneel!"
"What if I don't kneel? Does the Regent forget that I am the daughter of a great general, not someone from your manor! If you want me to kneel? Only the Emperor or my father can make me." Yun Shu chuckled softly, a hint of lazy coldness in the curve of her lips.
Putting on such a high posture, anyone would think she was the emperor!
Zhan Ming's eyes narrowed, and he actually smiled instead of getting angry.
Yun Yueyin was shocked, looking at Yun Shu in disbelief.
In front of the Regent, Yun Shu not only did not kneel and apologize to her in fear but even questioned the Regent!
"If there's nothing else, we'll meet again." Yun Shu glanced at Yun Yueyin and prepared to leave.
She wondered if Zhan Ming knew he might be wearing a cuckold's hat?
She needed to find someone to investigate who that cuckold was.
"Yun Shu!" Yun Yueyin was furious.
Yun Shu walked up to Yun Yueyin, raising an eyebrow. "If you call me that again, do you believe I'll punch your nose with my next blow?"
"You!"
Yun Yueyin was so angry she raised her hand to strike.
At that moment!
A figure moved with extreme speed.
Blocking in front of Yun Shu.
And grabbed Yun Yueyin's hand.
"Young Master Yi?" Yun Yueyin was stunned.
Looking at Young Master Yi, who had suddenly appeared, she was momentarily bewildered.
Why would Yi Zixing protect Yun Shu?
It must be because of that face!
Yi Zixing released Yun Yueyin's hand and immediately turned to look at Yun Shu, examining her from head to toe. "Second Miss Yun, are you alright?"
Yun Shu was somewhat surprised. She shook her head. "I'm fine."
What a coincidence?
Yi Zixing was also at Huiyun Tower today?
It was then that Yi Zixing noticed the Regent was present, which was why Yun Yueyin dared to bully Yun Shu with such arrogance.
If he had been a moment later, Yun Yueyin's slap would have landed on Yun Shu's face!
He immediately pursed his lips.
"Young Master Yi, I heard you like Yun Shu and want to propose, is that right? Originally, Yun Shu is my sister, and there are things I shouldn't say, but Yun Shu is being too rude today. Relying on her second uncle being a great general, she's completely arrogant, even daring to talk back to the Regent. If she's not disciplined today, she'll surely make a grave mistake later! I don't mind telling Young Master Yi that Yun Shu was disfigured years ago, and the face she wears is a human skin mask." Yun Yueyin bit her lip and spoke coldly.
Then, she walked to Zhan Ming's side.
Revealing a hint of her helplessness and grievance.
After hearing her words, Zhan Ming's sharp eyes, like a hawk's, immediately stared at Yun Shu's face.
Yun Shu let out a soft laugh.
She felt that the Zhan Ming and Yun Yueyin looking at her now were like two great fools.
Hearing the soft laughter from behind, Yi Zixing frowned as he looked at the two before him. "Eldest Miss Yun, your words are constantly targeting Second Miss Yun, clearly slandering her."
Yun Yueyin was so angry she almost exploded.
Did Yi Zixing believe Yun Shu this much?
"Young Master Yi, you like Second Miss Yun?" Zhan Ming asked with a wicked smile.
Yi Zixing didn't want Yun Shu to be in a difficult situation, so he said, "Who I like is my private matter. Please, Your Highness, respect Second Miss Yun."
Yun Shu looked at Yi Zixing, who was defending her, and felt genuinely touched.
"You don't believe her face is disfigured?" Zhan Ming asked again.
Yi Zixing frowned tightly. "Even if it is, so what?"
They tried every means to slander Yun Shu, and he suddenly felt very heartbroken for her. xxs壹贰
Yun Yueyin was shocked that Yi Zixing liked Yun Shu to this extent.
In her eyes, Yun Shu deserved to be reviled by everyone. No one in the entire capital would like Yun Shu; that was what she most wanted to see.
"Young Master Yi, you've truly been deceived by her!" Yun Yueyin said, biting her lip hard.
"I'm also saying that you've been involved with others behind the Regent's back, and you might even be carrying another man's child right now!" Yun Shu glanced meaningfully at Yun Yueyin's stomach.
It was as if no one could spread rumors.
Whoever has a guilty conscience will be afraid.
She then looked at Zhan Ming. "Your Highness, be very careful. Don't end up raising another man's child, I truly advise you."
"Thank you, Young Master Yi. I'll see you another day." Yun Shu thanked Yi Zixing and left with a flourish.
Yun Yueyin didn't react at first. After Yun Shu finished speaking, her face turned pale.
She shouted after Yun Shu's retreating figure, "Yun Shu, your heart is so wicked! How dare you be so ostentatious and ruin my reputation!"
Then she said to Zhan Ming, "Your Highness, Yun Shu has gone too far."
Her eyes reddened, looking pitiful.
She didn't notice the sinister glint in Zhan Ming's eyes when he heard Yun Shu's words; the entire person seemed to exude a cold, dark light.
"Huiyun Tower is closed for business today. Please, esteemed guests, come again another day. We need to close. Oh, right, the main door was broken by you all. We need to replace it. The door is made of sandalwood and costs five hundred taels of silver." The shopkeeper saw the distinguished guests before him, but since they had bullied the old master's distinguished guest, he showed no pleasantness.
If the old master knew they had bullied a distinguished guest, he would be furious.
Yun Yueyin's hand, which was wiping her eyes, stiffened. She gritted her teeth fiercely.
A moment later, the sobered-up Old Master Qin came downstairs and heard the shopkeeper recount what had happened.
He immediately widened his eyes.
