Aunt Xue and Xue Pan looked at Lin Chengyu and the others at a loss, and their hearts were uneasy. Xue Pan saw that Xia Jingui wanted to speak after she reacted, so he immediately shouted: "These are the Prince of Linhuai and the Marquis of Ning'an. How dare you say such things? This is a crime of disrespect."

Xue Pan was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet. What a stupid woman!

Xia Jingui was stunned when she heard this, and then she looked carefully at the two extraordinary people in front of her. Her family was a royal merchant, so she had some vision.

She didn't look carefully just now, but now she takes a closer look, she sees that what these two people are wearing are things from the palace.

Xia Jingui's face turned pale, and the slap marks on her face became more obvious. All her confidence now came from the Xia family. If she offended Prince Linhuai and Marquis Ning'an and implicated the Xia family, she would never be able to live freely again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Xia Jingui suddenly knelt on the ground with a dull sound. Her knees hurt terribly and her cheeks were burning with pain.

But at this moment, all these pains and itches are nothing.

The arrogance and domineering look on Xia Jingui's face just now had completely disappeared, and what was left was only fear, fearing that the nobles would be angry and blame the Xia family.

Hearing that Prince Linhuai was moody and his methods were decisive and ruthless, and that Marquis Ning'an was also a cold-blooded monster who killed people without blinking, Xia Jingui regretted that she should have found out the situation clearly before showing her power.

Lin Chengyu smiled and said, "Grandma Xue was so majestic just now. This Marquis and the prince haven't seen such a wonderful show for a long time. It's really an eye-opener."

Xia Jingui didn't dare to say a word. She bowed her head to the ground and dared not raise it. Aunt Xue felt somewhat happy seeing her humble appearance.

But this stupid woman is now a member of the Xue family. Regardless of whether it will bring harm to the Xia family, the Xue family is likely to be implicated by this stupid woman.

Aunt Xue was filled with hatred, but she could only say, "Pan'er, this daughter-in-law, is young and does not know etiquette. She offended the prince and the marquis with her words. I apologize on her behalf."

Aunt Xue was about to kneel down, but Lin Chengyu said, "Everyone has their own responsibility. Xia was rude and should be punished. But now I just want to clarify one thing."

Xue Pan hurriedly said with a smile: "My Lord, please speak."

Lin Chengyu spoke calmly, but what he said made Xia Jingui sweat coldly, "Xiangling was chased by someone today. Those people kept saying that they were from the Xue family and were ordered by their master to capture Xiangling. I don't know whose order they were following to be so cruel to a weak woman."

Xue Pan shook his head repeatedly, "It's not that I'm not me. I've been at home all day and I don't know what happened."

He was a brainless man. When he heard Lin Chengyu's words, he subconsciously wanted to distance himself from the matter. He didn't notice the helpless look Aunt Xue gave him.

The name of Dai Ba Wang is well deserved.

Xia Jingui didn't dare to say a word.

But Aunt Xue knew that if Xia Jingui didn't speak up, the matter would never be resolved.

She thought for a moment and realized that Xia Jingui was very good at confusing right and wrong, so if she started talking, she might be able to fool people.

Therefore, Aunt Xue said, "Pan'er's wife, it was you who took Xiangling out today. You know the reason, so it's natural for you to tell the story."

Xia Jingui failed to pretend to be dead, and was forced by Aunt Xue to speak.

"I took Xiangling out today because I wanted to show her some worldly experiences. Even if she can't gain courage, it's good to be able to relax."

"But that girl was too timid. I didn't take her into consideration for a moment. I don't know what frightened her, but she ran away."

"I was afraid that I would not be able to explain myself if I lost her, so I asked a few people to chase her. But she actually thought those people were criminals, which led to this incident."

Aunt Xue sighed, "That girl is too timid. Don't take her out from now on. Today we were lucky to meet the prince and the marquis. Nothing happened. Who knows what will happen in the future."

Xia Jingui said hurriedly: "Madam is right, I didn't think this matter through."

Xue Pan smiled broadly at Lin Chengyu. Ever since he heard about this devil at the border, he wanted to slap his past self in the face. Why did he mess with such a devil when he could mess with anyone else?

Fortunately, I have the relationship with my relatives, otherwise it would be difficult for me to stand here safely.

He thought that after what happened to Xia Jingui, she would know to be more restrained in the future, so he could not help but say, "My Lord, my wife is kind-hearted, but I didn't expect that Xiangling is so weak, so please forgive her this time."

Lin Chengyu said: "After all, this matter is just your family affair, and the prince and I cannot interfere."

Xue Pan nodded repeatedly, looking even more stupid.

Xia Jingui also breathed a sigh of relief. Since he said that, he probably wouldn't bother with her anymore.

That's true. Xiangling is a member of the Xue family after all, and this matter is also the Xue family's family affair. No matter how noble the status of Prince Linhuai and Marquis Ning'an is, they cannot interfere in other people's family affairs, and it would not be reasonable to tell others about it.

Xia Jingui thought that the matter was over, and the heavy stone in her heart fell to the ground. Just as she was about to stand up, she heard Lin Chengyu say, "I just don't know, who looks more like the mistress, me or the prince? Madam Xue has a keen eye, why don't you tell us about it and let us hear it too."

Xia Jingui's knees softened and she knelt down again. "It's just some crazy talk. My Lord, please don't bear grudges against me, so don't bother with me."

Lin Chengyu slowly picked up the teacup and looked at Xia Jia Jingui in front of him, who had forced and oppressed Xiangling to death. She had a bright face but did extremely vicious things.

Xiangling did not fight or compete. She was forced into the Xue Mansion by Xue Pan. She gave in in everything, tolerated at all times, and was extremely humble in front of Xia Jingui. But even so, Xia Jingui could not tolerate her.

But Xia Jingui's words were disrespectful and could not be let off with just a few words.

The Xia family's ancestor lost his job because of her sharp tongue. In the past, she could do whatever she wanted relying on her royal merchant background, but now she can only live with her tail between her legs.

Xia Jingui had offended many people in the past because of her family background. She could almost imagine how those people would counterattack after today.

It’s all Xiangling’s fault. If it weren’t for her, the Xia family wouldn’t have been in this state.

Damn Xiangling, just wait and see. If I don’t make her suffer in this state, I wouldn’t be called Xia Jingui.

In Xia Jingui's mind, she had already thought of a hundred ways to torture Xiangling, and was just waiting for Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng to leave so that she could carry out all of them on Xiangling.

When Lin Chengyu and Xuan Zheng were about to leave, Xia Jingui lowered her head behind them, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

It is foreseeable how miserable Xiangling's future life will be.
