Right then, a maid said, “Your Highness, Prince Zi invites you to the main hall. There’s an urgent matter.”
Lu Fenying asked coldly, “What is it?”
The maid replied, “Lady Murong brought Miss Murong to the house.”
Lu Fenying smiled coldly. “She still has the cheek to come?”
Mo Qian’er asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Why was Lady Murong looking for Lu Fenying?
Lu Fenying adjusted the quilt around her. “It’s nothing. I’ll take a look.”
Even though Mo Qian’er was curious, Lu Fenying didn’t plan to speak about this matter and definitely wouldn’t tell her about it.
After Lu Fenying left, she sent a maid to investigate.
When Lu Fenying arrived, a lot of people were already gathered in the main hall.
Except for Prince and Princess Zi and Murong Qingqing, he hadn’t seen the others before.
Lu Fenying sat down in an empty seat with a cold face and didn’t say anything.
Gu Bailu smiled. “Lady Murong, he’s here. Tell us what you want.”
With one glance at Lu Fenying, Lady Murong could tell that he was extraordinary.
Not only did he look beautiful, he had a lofty presence and didn’t seem like he would yield to anyone.
But at the end of the day, Qingqing’s reputation was ruined. If they didn’t get justice, the Murong family would be laughed at for the rest of their lives.
“The Murong family isn’t unreasonable. You have to take responsibility for ruining Qingqing’s reputation.” Lady Murong looked at Lu Fenying aggressively.
Lu Fenying’s eyes were colder than the chilly wind outside. He sneered. “The Murong family is really shameless.”
She even dared to make such a demand.
Was she crazy?
Gu Bailu chuckled and looked at Murong Qingqing, who stood next to Lady Murong and glanced at Lu Fenying from time to time. It was obvious that she was interested in him.
Gu Bailu didn’t feel it was wrong for a woman to want to marry a man once she had her eye on him, but she wouldn’t agree blindly to such an undignified method.
“It was just a minor exchange of words, and not bad enough to ruin her reputation.”
Murong Huangtang jumped to his feet before Gu Bailu could finish. “Not serious? He cut off the sleeve that Qingqing touched in front of so many people. How can she face anyone in the future?”
Gu Bailu had a headache. Who was Lu Fenying? How could anyone just touch him?
Murong Qingqing really had guts.
The most impressive of them all was Lady Murong, who dared to tell the palace about it, and then come here.
Gu Bailu gave a fake smile. “Miss Murong is really lucky that the crown prince of Heavenly Wind Empire only cut off his own sleeve and not her hand. If she had touched my husband, you wouldn’t be here, but in the mourning hall.”
Murong Huangtang looked at her angrily. “What do you mean? Are you cursing Qingqing to die?”
“No, no, no. Miss Murong likes to touch strange men so much that I’m afraid that she might accidentally touch my husband one day. I’m just giving her a kind reminder.”
Lady Murong knew best what a troublemaker Gu Bailu was and how cutting her words could be, and didn’t want to waste too much time with her.
She looked at Feng Qingtian and said, “Prince Zi, the crown prince is a guest in your house. You be the judge.”
Feng Qingtian, who had been watching the show, straightened up and asked Lu Fenying, “Your Highness, you indeed were a little unreasonable in this matter. Are you willing to marry Miss Murong?”
Lu Fenying said expressionlessly, “I plan to never marry in my lifetime. If the Murong family still wants an explanation, I don’t mind having another maid in my backyard.”
