The young man in green first bowed to the guards who came to help him before he thundered, “As a relative of the Imperial family, there is even more reason for you to obey the laws and abide by the etiquettes. If you keep on acting like this, even the Empress wouldn’t be able to help you.”
The bully was enraged and fuming, “Shut up! What would you know, you nerd? This b*tch’s father lost my money, so I’m using her to settle the debt! She’s justified in clearing her father’s debt, and I’m the one doing things rightfully!”
The girl seemed like she was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was so frightened by the ordeal as she started to cry.
The young man in the green outfit still had a sincere and instructive tone, “Even so, how can a person be compared with money? Since he owes you money, this lady here can just earn her own money and pay you back; there’s absolutely no reason for you to use her as collateral.”
Lin Nianzhi couldn’t help but applaud, “Well said!”
The crowd of onlookers also echoed, “Well said! That was very well said!”
The bully covered his nose and trembled with anger, but he didn’t dare to do anything when he saw his litter of injured men lying on the ground screaming in pain and agony. He could only utter his words harshly, “All of you had better wait until…”
As soon as Lin Feilu put down her chopsticks, she flew down from the window. Now that she has improved a lot in her Qinggong, she landed in front of the bully and asked innocently, “What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me?”
The bully was on the verge of a breakdown, “Who are you?!”
Lin Feilu, “Didn’t you say that I’m your cousin? You don’t even know the appearance of your cousin, and yet you dare to use my name as a backing for your heinous deeds?”
Bully, “?!”
Xiao Lan had not reconciled with the Xiao family even until now, and Mother Xiao was prohibited from entering the palace on several accounts. She didn’t expect that these scumbags from the Xiao family would dare to abuse her and her family’s imperial position, flaunting their names like they were their protection amulets and ruining their reputation.
Lin Feilu was so angry that she lifted her foot and kicked him under his crotch. The bully was shocked by her words, so he didn’t have the time to react and dodge.
Lin Feilu decided to take this opportunity to correct her name and reputation. Although she was young and petite, she was well-behaved and beautiful. When she stood there, her posture was upright, which made an excellent first impression amongst the people. Hence, any words that came out of her mouth became extremely convincing.
They heard her speak loudly, “I live in the palace with my Mother Consort, and I rarely interact with the Xiao family, but when exactly have you started to use our names to back you up on your domineering attitudes? We still have the letter that clearly stated the Xiao family wanting to break ties and connections with my Mother Consort, or have you all forgotten about it? Upon losing Imperial favor, we are nothing but strangers; but when we regain it, I’m suddenly your cousin again? What sort of sick world would that be?”
There were also rumors circulating amongst the civilians that Xiao Lan fell out of favor but regained it. Upon listening to the Fifth Princess herself mentioning it, the onlookers heard every single word of hers with clarity.
Listening to her words that were neither humble nor flippant, they suddenly felt that the Xiao family had indeed behaved in a very shameless and despicable manner.
He didn’t even recognize the Fifth Princess, yet he was trying to hide behind her name? Ptui!
