Xu Yixing was silent. She remembered this person. Although they had only met once, the feud between them had been spread for a long time.

When he and Sun Ziyou were just engaged, a woman suddenly rushed into the horse racing field. It was the Third Miss. At that time, she clamored to compete with him, but Xu Yixing didn't know her, so he naturally refused.

Unexpectedly, she acted like a madman, pulling her horse forward and insisting on competing.

Xu Yixing was angry and wanted to win, so he started the competition. But before he could shoot a single arrow, he turned around and saw Miss Wu being thrown off the horse and stepped on. She left the field in dismay.

It was only after that that she found out that the girl was called Wu Xueyan, and the reason she wanted to compete with her was because she liked Sun Ziyou. She was not happy with her engagement with Sun Ziyou, so she had to come and compete with him. She didn't expect the competition to turn out like this.

After she injured her leg, she never showed up again. Three years have passed, and no one knows why she is here today.

"Oh!" Xu Yixing sighed. Her appearance here today might not be a good thing.

I just saw that it seemed like everyone was surrounding her. Sun Ziyou was there too. He was very far away at first, but later he was pushed in front of her for some reason.

It's too far away and I can't hear what they say clearly.

Xu Yixing glanced at Princess Cheng who was sitting in the main seat. Her face had turned dark. Today's incident was too strange. No matter who arranged this, and no matter what Miss Wu's purpose was, she would not be happy that she had done this without the Princess's knowledge.

What's more, now that the dance is over, she should pay her respects to the princess first. Why did she go to the male guests first? That would be too embarrassing.

Several older ladies of high status had already noticed that the princess was unhappy, and they all said something to ease the atmosphere, but the princess remained unmoved and sat quietly upstairs, waiting for someone to be sent over.

Sure enough, after staying on the shore for a long time, Miss Wu finally stepped onto the bridge and slowly walked towards the pavilion in the center of the lake. Xu Yixing took a special look at her legs and found nothing unusual about her walking. However, he was overthinking it. She had no problem dancing, so her injury must have healed long ago.

Wu Xueyan walked into the pavilion, first glanced at Xu Yixing, and then bowed and greeted Princess Cheng in front of her.

The moment they met, Xu Yixing felt that her brows were cold and her eyes were sharp. It was not directed at her alone, as if Wu Xueyan was a hedgehog, sticking out her thorns to everyone to fight back against any hostility.

"Xueyan greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. May the Princess be at peace."

"Miss Wu San, I haven't seen you for many years. You have honored me with a dance today. You are such a rare guest." The princess's anger was almost written on her face. She emphasized the word "dance". Someone actually skipped the performance she had arranged for the noble lady. Did they think that she, the host, was dead?

Wu Xueyan did not stand up, and her expression was indifferent. She had already expected the princess to have this reaction.

"Xue Yan has been ill for a long time. Now she has finally recovered. She also wants to let those who are worried about me know as soon as possible. That's why I came here rashly today to ask Your Highness to atone for my sins."

Someone you're worried about? The people at this banquet are all the officials' families in the capital. Who would be worried about you, a person who has disappeared for almost three years? That's really a far-fetched argument.

"Really? Then I'd like to know who made the decision for you about today's performance and program, and who did you inform in advance?"

Some people who were a little slower to react then realized that Princess Cheng didn't even know about what happened today, no wonder she was so angry.

Wu Xueyan looked up, her eyes full of clarity and confusion: "Of course I have discussed it with the person who arranged the banquet, otherwise how could I enter the Cheng Palace?"

"You! Humph, I think it's not you who's recovered from your illness, but Miss Xu's illness that's flared up. Otherwise, why would you be willing to come out and join in the fun?"

What? What does it have to do with me?

Xu Yixing leaned forward, holding on to the table with both hands, and was inexplicably stung by these words.

But then he understood clearly that this Miss Wu was probably reluctant to part with her old love for her grandson You, and knowing that the fake Xu Yixing had fallen from power, she deliberately showed up in public to remind everyone of what happened in the past so that she could take advantage of the situation.

He is indeed a lovesick fool, but his methods are not very honorable, and he loves the wrong person!

No one knows better than yourself what kind of grandson Sun Ziyou is. For such a man, you even disregard your dignity and dignity. You have really given your loyalty to a wrong person.

"I don't know what Miss Xu is like. I only know that I wanted to come here today because of him." Wu Xueyan said, looking towards the men's guest area on the other side with affection, not at all as cold as she was to other people.

Princess Cheng shook her head, looking sad and disgusted. I really don't understand what this woman is thinking. Sun Ziyou is already married, and even if his wife is sick, as long as she is alive, she is still his legal wife. How can she tolerate such a thing?

Besides, the second Miss Xu is already engaged to the prince, and the Xu family is very popular. It is unwise for you, the daughter of a small city defense officer, to openly provoke the Xu family at a banquet in the palace.

"No matter who you are here for, the palace is hosting a banquet, and your name, Wu Xueyan, is not on the guest list. Since you said you have discussed it with the organizer of the banquet, then you are just an assistant invited by my palace. Now that the performance is over, it's time for you to leave."

Princess Cheng's words were too harsh, and were a blatant order to expel her. As long as Wu Xueyan left in this manner today, her fame would once again sweep across the entire capital within a day.

But when Xu Yixing looked at her, there was no fear on his face. Instead, he stood up and apologized to everyone, and was sent out by the maid from the palace.

Wow!

Just like boiling water, the shore and the pavilion in the middle of the lake were boiling. This should be the first guest to be asked to leave the Cheng Palace, and she is an unmarried woman. How damaging this is to her reputation. Did she come here just to make a fool of herself today?

Princess Cheng was also obviously stunned. She even wanted to raise her hand to stop Wu Xueyan from leaving, but her reason told her that she could not stay.

Her original intention was just to warn Wu Xueyan not to be too presumptuous and to ask who let her in. She didn't expect that she would actually leave like that.

What should I do? If the news of expelling guests from Prince Cheng's Mansion spreads out tomorrow, I wonder how people will talk about it. Is Wu Xueyan crazy? She doesn't know how to show weakness. If she asks me for help, can I really drive her out?

Xu Yixing frowned, but he stood up as soon as Wu Xueyan left the pavilion and bowed to the princess: "Your Highness, Miss Wu San seems to have been injured while dancing. Why don't you ask the female doctor in the mansion to check her out and send her home to rest."
