Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Zheng Canran felt very aggrieved, but he refused to give in and muttered softly.

"It's my coming-of-age day, and she came uninvited. What kind of rules are we following?"

When Zheng Yuan heard this, he became even more furious. He raised his hand to slap Zheng Canran, but was stopped by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Lin.

"Master, calm down. Today is Canran's coming-of-age ceremony. There are so many people watching. It's not appropriate to get angry!"

Zheng Yuan's face turned pale. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and said something annoyed.

"Look at the wonderful daughter you have raised!"

When Lin heard Zheng Yuan's accusation, she felt aggrieved, but she could only hold back her tears and comfort Zheng Canran in a low voice.

"Canran, quickly apologize to the Crown Princess. Today is your coming-of-age day, so don't act willfully."

Seeing his mother being so humble, Zheng Canran became even more angry. The guilt he had felt originally disappeared instantly, and he became like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his fur instantly stood up.

"What crime have I committed? Mother, you are too weak, that's why you are bullied by these people! Hasn't the Duke's Mansion always been on good terms with Concubine Zou? But today they showed up at my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, and I thought they had gone astray! So I asked this question, does the Crown Princess want to blame me?"

If one could use the inferior excuse of "young and ignorant" to cover up his previous behavior, Zheng Canran's words were simply outrageous!

What is Aunt Zou?

She is the concubine of the Zheng family!

But Xu Xingyin is the Crown Princess, the first wife of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Comparing a concubine with the Crown Princess is simply disrespectful!

The guests present all gasped, secretly marveling at how fearless Miss Zheng San was, saying anything she dared to say!

However, the person involved, Xu Xingyin, did not express his opinion. He stood there quietly with a calm look in his eyes, but was secretly calculating in his mind.

Based on what Zheng Canran had just said and the information he had obtained before he came here, he roughly guessed the whole picture of the matter.

Lin was in poor health, and she had only one legitimate daughter, Zheng Canran.

Lin felt that she was in the wrong, so she generously brought several concubines into Zheng Yuan's house. Unfortunately, those concubines had no children.

Zheng Yuan's only son was born to his concubine Zou Lizhen, who came into the family a few years ago.

Therefore, Aunt Zou's status in the Zheng family can be considered honorable.

In addition, Zheng Yuan's favoritism towards Concubine Zou made the first branch of the family increasingly powerless in the mansion.

Zheng Canran was very well protected by the Lin family, which made him develop this willful and capricious personality.

She knew that her father favored Aunt Zou's family, so she always disliked people and things related to Aunt Zou.

It was natural for Zheng Canran to dislike the people from Duke Xu's Mansion who "helped" Aunt Zou to enter the mansion.

If so...

Xu Xingyin slowly curled her lips. She originally came here to test the waters, but today she actually found a breakthrough.

Going with the flow and taking advantage of the situation might be a good idea.

Just as Xu Xingyin was thinking, he heard a loud slap.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Lin, who had always been defending Zheng Canran, was frightened by her outrageous remarks.

He rushed forward, raised his hand and gave Zheng Canran a loud slap to stop her from making further mistakes.

"Shut up! Have you been blinded by lard? How dare you say such nonsense!"

Zheng Canran saw stars and his cheeks became red and swollen instantly after being slapped by Lin.

She covered her face, her eyes full of disbelief and anger, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mother, you...you actually hit me?"

Lin looked reluctant, "Mother doesn't want you to make the same mistake again!"

Xu Xingyin did not expect the situation to develop to this point, and he quickly spoke up to ease the situation.

"Mrs. Zheng, you are too kind. I was indeed rude today. The coming-of-age ceremony is a happy event. Isn't it for this happy event that everyone is gathered here? As for the other things, they are all trivial matters."

Xu Xingyin's tone was calm and indifferent, giving Zheng Canran enough room to back off and making it clear that he didn't care.

After saying that, he raised his hand and signaled Dangui. Dangui immediately stepped forward and presented an exquisite brocade box to Zheng Canran.

"Miss Zheng San, this is the coming-of-age gift that the Crown Princess specially prepared for you. Please accept it."

After Dangui finished speaking, she immediately opened the brocade box.

Inside the brocade box is a set of exquisite jade jewelry. The emerald green color sparkles under the light, and it is obvious at a glance that it is of great value.

Upon seeing this, the guests were filled with praise and were extremely impressed by Xu Xingyin's magnanimity and propriety.

He apologized and gave gifts, which was both polite and in a manner that did not lose the appearance of a member of the Eastern Palace.

The originally stiff situation gradually loosened up because of Xu Xingyin's words.

The guests were whispering to each other and praising Xu Xingyin's actions.

Zheng Yuan and Lin also looked happy and hurriedly thanked Xu Xingyin.

Zheng Canran was originally immersed in anger and grievance, but when he saw Xu Xingyin being so magnanimous and was about to waver, he saw Aunt Zou, dressed in gorgeous clothes, coming over with her waist twisted.

As a result, Zheng Canran immediately turned hostile.

Zheng Canran's coming-of-age ceremony did not require charity from the people of Duke Xu's mansion! This was a great humiliation to her!

"I cannot accept your kindness, Your Highness. Please take it back!"

Zheng Canran had a cold expression on his face. He pushed away Dangui who was trying to give him a gift. Without checking the jewelry in the brocade box, Dangui dropped it to the ground with a clang.

Zheng Canran was feeling annoyed and didn't look at his feet clearly. He stepped on a bead that had rolled to the ground. His body lost its balance and he fell forward.

And this time, she pounced straight at Xu Xingyin!

Seeing this, the faces of several maids around Xu Xingyin changed drastically, and they all stepped forward to support Zheng Canran, but they were still a step too slow.

Zheng Canran slammed into Xu Xingyin, causing Xu Xingyin to stagger and fall backwards.

"what!"

Xu Xingyin inexplicably became Zheng Canran's human cushion and couldn't help but let out a scream, followed by a sharp pain in his ankle.

She looked down and saw that her ankle was swollen and obviously sprained.

Zheng Canran hit his head on the corner of the table and blood gushed out instantly.

"The Crown Princess!"

"Quick, go get the imperial physician!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, the guests screamed in surprise, and Zheng Yuan and Lin turned pale with fright.

They never imagined that a coming-of-age ceremony would lead to such a mess.

Seeing this, Chen stepped forward angrily and unceremoniously pushed away Zheng Canran who was still pressing on Xu Xingyin, and said angrily.

"presumptuous!"

Chen's voice was full of anger, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Zheng Canran was full of disgust.

Zheng Canran was obviously frightened at this moment. He hurriedly climbed up from Xu Xingyin's body and explained in a trembling voice.

"I...I didn't mean to..."
