"Oh, you just said that you always look down on people like me? Can you tell me what kind of person I am?"

This voice came so suddenly that the faces of the three people who were originally chatting froze, as if a chill was rising from the soles of their feet.

"Princess..."

The three of them hesitated, and when they turned around, they saw Lin Xilan standing not far away with a gloomy smile on his face, and they couldn't help but step back a little.

As noble ladies in the capital, they were not among the most prominent ones, but they had attended some of the banquets they should have attended, and naturally had met Lin Xilan.

but--

They didn't understand how Lin Xilan appeared behind her so quietly?

and.

Judging from the tone of her voice, all their whispers were heard by the other party.

All three of them panicked.

There was an indescribable chill in the air. The three people's breathing seemed particularly heavy, and their eye contact with each other was filled with unspeakable awkwardness.

Lin Xilan narrowed her eyes and strode to the front of the group, a cold smile on her lips, "This princess thinks you are really bold! You actually dared to make up stories about the Ninth Prince's wife and the Regent's wife in public! Do you know how serious the crime of slandering the royal family is? At the very least, you will be exiled to the people, and at the worst, you will be beheaded in public!"

In the Northern Dynasties:

There are many ways to punish crimes committed by nobles, but there are only two main ones.

1. Banished as a commoner.

From then on, he no longer enjoyed the treatment of aristocratic family and lived as an ordinary commoner. In other words, he was deprived of his family background and all privileges, which was more painful than death.

The second, of course, is... immediate death.

Behead in public display!

The original owner was a fool who was infatuated with Beichen Yuan, but that didn't mean she didn't know the rules. In order to look forward to her future life as the Regent Princess, she spent a lot of time thinking about these laws.

As a being with two souls in one body, she certainly knew something about it.

"Pfft!"

After hearing these words, the three girls who had been lucky just now knelt on the cold ground with pale faces.

Their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. Lin Xilan's words just now easily shattered the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.

——Two of the girls began to argue with trembling lips and crying voices, hoping to save the situation.

"Princess, please forgive me. I have never said a single disrespectful word about the Ninth Prince's wife or you from beginning to end. I just expressed my envy for the Ninth Prince's elegant and luxurious mansion."

"Yes, Princess. I did not slander the royal family in public. I just echoed a few words. Those treasonous words were said by the second daughter of Wang Hanlin's family! Princess, you can see clearly that those slanderous words have nothing to do with us!"

"Princess, please spare me, Princess, please spare me..."

They knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

I just feel like I died wrongly!

The Ninth Prince was still in a coma, and he married Yun Susu, who was not favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as his princess. In addition, the Prime Minister's Mansion had deceived the royal family and the situation was hopeless, so... Yun Susu's flower-viewing banquet... few people gave her face.

Today, not many ladies came to keep the appointment.

Most of them were ladies from moderately wealthy or even small families, all of whom came here to see the excitement and explore the world.

They are just some ordinary ladies...

Where do you get the guts to slander the Ninth Prince's wife and the Regent's wife?

Thinking of this, they all looked at Wang Hanlin's daughter with resentment. It was all this guy's fault. Not only was he bad-mouthed, but he also implicated them!

Lin Xilan's gaze fell on Wang Linger.

Wang Linger's face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I, what I said is just the fact... This is the consensus that everyone in the capital knows!"

Lin Xilan nodded in agreement.

"Well said, don't say it next time."

As she spoke, her face was cold and she waved her hand, "Cuiyun, did you hear what she just said? I don't think her mouth can still speak today."

"Yes, Princess!"

Cuiyun nodded.

then.

A slap hit Wang Linger's face.

"Since you don't know how to speak properly, then I will teach you how to speak! Whether it's my princess or the Ninth Prince's wife, they are both royal relatives appointed by His Majesty. You can be dissatisfied with my young lady and you can say it in private, but since we have caught you, you can't avoid this beating!"

He slapped her several times in a row.

Wang Linger's lips have turned red.

Her face turned red from pale at first, and her face was swollen like a pig's head, but she was still stubborn and refused to shed tears. She just stared at Lin Xilan fiercely.

Lin Xilan said, "These slaps should be regarded as lessons. They are also a small punishment for a big warning. I hope you can remember this lesson in the future when you are in front of others."

She wanted to leave.

But soon, she seemed to remember something and came back again.

"Since you have complaints about both the Ninth Prince's wife and this princess, next time, I hope that you won't be seen at any occasions where the two of us are present."

"After all, you also said that you looked down on this princess, didn't you?"

Wang Linger's body finally fell down unsteadily.

——The only occasions that Yun Susu and Lin Xilan can attend must be very important banquets. Not allowing her to appear is equivalent to banning her from the circle of noble ladies in the entire capital.

As a woman living in seclusion, how can she meet other people in the future? In other words, what future does she have?

Wang Linger's heart was filled with despair, and she seemed to be swallowed by darkness.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless, and all her hopes and dreams were shattered at this moment.

Lin Xilan looked at Wang Linger's expression with satisfaction, and all the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.

She turned around gracefully and walked away.

the other side.

In the back garden of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

The sun is warm and the breeze is gentle.

The flower-viewing banquet was held in a lively atmosphere.

In the garden, flowers of various colors are blooming, vying with each other for beauty, as if it is a gorgeous painting carefully woven by nature, which is beautiful beyond words.

Yun Susu, who has become the Ninth Prince's consort, is eagerly waiting for her close friend to arrive for the banquet.

She now dresses differently than before. She has taken off her simple and plain clothes and put on elegant and elaborate brocade clothes. Her every move is like that of a person in a painting.

but.

Even though she was the Ninth Prince's wife, her face was still filled with gloom.

Her brows were slightly furrowed and her eyes were dim, as if she was hiding endless worries.

It was not until she saw Lin Xilan that her eyes lit up and her face finally had a lively look, "Xilan, you're finally here!"

There are lush flowers and trees.

Lin Xilan came through the flowers and leaves.

The light green skirt was floor-length, and the plain white blouse was embroidered with fluttering butterflies playing with magnolia flowers. As she walked, it seemed as if the butterflies would flap their wings and fly out at the next moment.

A smile appeared on her lips.

Lin Xilan sat down next to Yun Susu.

The little face was full of determination.

Speak very seriously.

"Of course I have to come! After all, I want to see with my own eyes how you are doing after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, that place of danger and wolves!"

Yun Susu's nose felt sore and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Something is wrong!
