"Oh no, something happened over there."

"What happened?"

"It seems that Vice General Rong had an argument with someone, and even drew swords."

The hall was noisy and everyone's eyes were focused on one place, as if something was happening.

"What happened?" Baili Yue asked curiously.

"Yue'er, don't run around. You can get hurt easily in this messy situation." He had to protect Baili Yue and make sure she was safe.

Baili Yue wanted to find out the truth, but seeing the serious expression on his fourth brother Baili Ye's face, he had no choice but to obey, "Got it, fourth brother, I won't do anything rash."

"Who are you arguing with over there?"

"It looks like he is a person of a foreign race." Someone whispered.

Ye Yunzi was originally very calm, but after hearing the word "alien", her heart tightened, worrying that the man might be Su Huan.

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to go and see what was going on, so she quickly walked towards the backyard.

Seeing this, Baili Yue, out of curiosity, gently pulled the corner of Baili Ye's clothes, "Fourth brother, let's go and take a look too."

Although Baili Ye didn't like this complicated situation, seeing his sister's anxious look, he had to nod and agree to go with her.

Ye Yunzi walked through the crowd and came to where the crowd gathered. She saw a muscular man glaring at the person opposite him with hostility in his eyes, as if he wanted to draw his sword immediately.

“When did the Rong Mansion become a place where wild cats and dogs can enter? You barbarians have killed so many of our warriors. Even if you kneel here day and night to apologize, it cannot make up for it. How dare you walk into the Rong Mansion openly?” The man spoke in a stern tone and with a tough attitude.

Ye Yunzi took a closer look and recognized that the man was the youngest general of the Rong family - Rong Mingxuan.

He grew up in the army and exudes a cold aura. He loyally followed the Fourth Prince and carried out a series of tasks to eliminate political enemies after the Fourth Prince became the Crown Prince.

Ye Yunzi looked at him without any good feelings in her heart, but instead was filled with disgust.

In the previous life, he also had a hand in the demise of the Su family. As the situation escalated, more and more people gathered around. At this time, an attendant discovered the man's true identity and quickly reminded him, "Master, that is Su Huan, the young master of the Su Mansion."

"Whoever he is!"

Rong Mingxuan sneered, intending to humiliate the other party. He had witnessed too many atrocities committed by foreigners, and his heart was already filled with hatred. He believed that all foreigners should be exterminated.

Just as he was about to provoke further, Ye Yunzi stepped out and stood between the two of them, "Wait a moment."

"Yunzi..." Su Huan couldn't help but feel worried when he saw Ye Yunzi appear.

Ye Yunzi remained calm and said softly, "He is a child of my Su family, my younger brother. I hope Deputy General Rong will not misunderstand me." Even in the face of Rong Mingxuan's fierce momentum, she remained neither humble nor arrogant.

Rong Mingxuan stared at her sharply and said coldly, "You, the Su family, actually treat outsiders as family members?"

Ye Yunzi responded calmly, "Although Su Huan looks different, he grew up in my uncle's house and has always behaved well. It's really unfair to exclude him just because of his appearance. There are good and evil people among the outsiders, too."

"Foreigners are all ruthless beasts. Do you know how many heinous crimes they have committed? They kill innocent people and even spare no children..." Rong Mingxuan's tone was cold, his words were sharp, and his voice was full of contempt.

"How can someone like you who never leaves the house understand all this? I'm afraid you've never even seen a drop of blood!" he added.

"This is true!" A clear voice suddenly came from the crowd, and Baili Yue came out in a hurry.

Seeing Su Huan being humiliated, she stood up against her brother's advice and said, "Su Huan has never done anything bad. He is gentle, knowledgeable and talented. He is definitely not the cruel person you say he is."

"Your Highness?" Su Huan looked at Baili Yue in surprise.

Baili Yue stood in front of Su Huan and suddenly recognized the person in front of him. It turned out to be him, the man she met in the yard when she climbed over the wall.

Baili Yue felt embarrassed and secretly regretted it, thinking that she should not have come forward if she had known this would happen. She didn't want anyone to know that she had cheated, especially Su Huan.

Baili Yue felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but tighten the corner of her clothes.

When Rong Mingxuan saw Baili Yue, his eyes changed and he immediately recognized her identity: "It's you..."

"Princess Thirteen." Ye Yunzi called her respectfully. She didn't expect Baili Yue to speak up for Su Huan.

"The Thirteenth Princess?" Rong Mingxuan was extremely surprised. He finally knew the identity of this woman. She was not an ordinary noble lady, but a member of the royal family.

They had a brief intersection in childhood, and now the little princess has grown into a beautiful girl.

Baili Yue turned to look at Su Huan, her cheeks slightly red, and whispered, "Master Su."

"Your Highness." Su Huan responded politely.

When Rong Mingxuan saw Baili Yue defending Su Huan, he became even angrier. He was not sure whether his anger was directed at the outsiders or for other reasons.

"Hmph, you can only hide behind others." He snorted coldly.

Ye Yunzi frowned slightly, thinking that this was too much. "Deputy General Rong, we are guests personally invited by the Duke. Is this the etiquette of your Duke's Mansion for entertaining guests?"

Her voice was firm and clear, showing no sign of weakness. Since the other party was merciless, she didn't need to be polite.

"You!" Rong Mingxuan then looked at the woman carefully. She was really eloquent.

"It's really too much." Baili Yue muttered softly. She always stood on Su Huan's side, and she felt unhappy when she heard someone criticizing Su Huan.

"Yue'er, stop making trouble." Baili Ye stepped forward to mediate. He didn't want his sister to be involved in a complicated dispute. Besides, she seemed a little abnormal and too excited today.

"Vice General Rong should be more restrained. Today is a festive day. It's not good to get so angry."

After listening to Baili Ye's words, Rong Mingxuan gradually calmed down and regained his rationality. He looked at the Fourth Prince, then at Baili Yue. They were siblings.

Thinking of this, his expression changed slightly, and his tone softened, "Your Highness is right, I lost my composure."

The storm subsided temporarily, and people dispersed. Ye Yunzi and Su Huan walked to the other side.

Baili Yue followed closely behind, asking Su Huan in a low voice about his situation and praising how delicious the fruits he picked at the hunting party were. It was not difficult to see her feelings from her behavior.

Rong Mingxuan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Su Huan..." He muttered through gritted teeth, "How dare a foreigner have such improper thoughts about the princess."

"Breeze."

At the command, a loyal guard immediately stepped forward, lowered his head and waited for instructions. He was Rong Mingxuan's right-hand man, and many secret tasks could be completed quietly.

Rong Mingxuan had complete confidence in him and entrusted him with important tasks.

"Sir, do we really want to do this?" Qingfeng hesitated.

"Do it." Rong Mingxuan answered briefly, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
