"No, there's no one, Princess... how could you possibly accuse me like this?"

Deng Wan'ying's maid also said, "Lady, our young mistress is a good girl from a respectable family. How could she do such a thing? Please don't slander her."

Fu Jiujiao frowned, when did a little girl dare to talk back to her?

However, Tang Xian had already flared up, "The Deng family is so arrogant, a mere servant dares to blame the county princess!"

"I dare not, I am only loyal to protect my master. Prince Jin will certainly understand." The maid was frightened and knelt on the ground, but she still tried to be clever.

"Such loyalty to his master! He has certainly done many things for his master. Bring him here, and execute him!"

The maid was terrified. Prince Jin wasn't usually cruel, so why...why was he going to kill someone?

Deng Wan'er couldn't have imagined it would turn out like this. She had never seen Tang Xian so angry, just because of what her maid had said about Fu Jiujiao?

What did he just mean by that? Could it be that things have been exposed?

"Your Highness King Jin, she has followed me since she was young. Please, for my sake, spare her this time." Deng Wan'er knelt and begged for mercy.

"This king truly doesn't know, Miss Deng, how you have such face here with this king. Allowing this king to ignore the future wife being bullied by a servant and do nothing. Miss Deng, could you remind this king?"

Deng Wan'er was as if her throat had been choked, unable to utter a word.

"What's going on?"

When everyone heard Tang Xian's angry voice, they came over to take a look. As a result, they saw Deng Wanru kneeling on the ground, and the maidservant beside her was already so frightened that she only kowtowed incessantly.

"Lao Qi, what's wrong?" Tang Yan's first reaction was to help his cousin up, but Deng Wan'ying was very stubborn and wouldn't get up no matter what.

He couldn't, he could only ask Tang Xian.

"Let her speak for herself." Tang Xian said coldly.

"The county princess misunderstood me. Jin Zhui spoke a few words on my behalf, which made the county princess unhappy. King Jin wants... to put Jin Zhui to death."

"Spare the servant's life, Your Grace."

Fujujio laughed, these two people are really courting death.

Tang Xian listened to their master and servant say this, even angrier, “What does she have to do with it?”

"The one who will punish her is me. Chirp chirp didn't say a single word, yet you all splashed dirt on her. Such a vile servant, she must be killed today. None of you may stop me."

Deng Wan Ying looked at Tang Yan again. Bai Ruozhuang's anger was palpable; she wanted to gouge out her eyes, truly hoping her man wouldn't have a good time.

Can you just offend anyone, especially this Lao Qi?

"Lao Qi, that girl has been with her since she was young. This punishment is a bit too harsh, and if it gets out, it wouldn't be good for Jiujiu either?"

Fu Jiujiu smiled cheekily at Tang Xian, "Big brother, what's wrong with me?"

"This... People will say you're unreasonable and bullying the weak."

Fu Jiujiu nodded. "Oh, that's how people see me?"

"Of course... not." Tang Yan said.

"Well, that's it then. Since I'm not like that, let them say whatever they want." Fu Jiujiu shrugged and stood beside Tang Xian.

Tang Yan was speechless after being ridiculed, and even though he wanted to defend himself, Bai Ruozhang pulled him back with a glance. He gave him a meaningful look, but whether he understood it was another matter.

"Seventh Brother, must this man be killed?" Tang Xiu asked in a deep voice.

Tang Xian hooked her lips, "Naturally, those who insult my wife will be punished."

The last character came out, and Jin Zhu fainted directly. Deng Wan'er also collapsed to the ground.

Tang Xiu wanted exactly this. He just wanted to know what Tang Xian would do for Fu Jiujiu.

Now this is where the fun begins.

"Then let's listen to Lao Qi, drag it out."

Tang Xiu patted Tang Xian's shoulder, "Come on, the wine and food are already prepared. Don't let this little thing affect your mood."

The gold pendant was dragged down like that.

Tang Wan'ying cried so much that she was heartbroken. Bai Ruozhuang sighed and didn't want to comfort her at all, but she could only pretend to do so.

"Cousin, you saw it too, how Old Seven treats Chi-Chi…"

"Sister-in-law, if you're not going to help me, just don't persuade me."

Before Bai Ruozhuang could finish her words, she was cut off by Deng Wan'ying.

She wasn't exactly in a good mood either, only holding back for the sake of the bigger picture. Now, her temper flared, "Do you think I want to advise you? Do whatever you want, just don't implicate the Deng family, and definitely don't drag down your idiotic cousin! He's the Crown Prince, already neglected and mistreated. Can you at least die without pulling him down with you?"

Deng Wan'ying looked at Bai Ruozhuang who was furious and bit her lip, "I...didn't ask my cousin to help me, he just cares for me."

"Me..." Bai Ruozhang was so angry she wanted to hit someone, but she held back. "Fine... very good."

After she finished speaking, she got up and left.

Du Xiyue noticed Bai Ruozhuang had finished two cups of wine. Though not strong, drinking like that would surely get her drunk. She advised her to stop, and thankfully, Bai Ruozhuang listened and put down her cup.

Tang Yi wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he suggested everyone have a drink together. Seeing Fu Jiujiu not raise her cup, he smiled and said, "Jiujiu, now you're a big girl, you can drink."

Fu Jiu Jiu thought about her own alcohol tolerance and still shook her head, not wanting to get drunk later and make a fool of herself.

"Third Brother, she's still young. Let me drink this cup for her."

"Hmph, Seventh Brother, you're really something else. You have to drink all that alcohol for her." Tang Jie smiled, his eyes still like a venomous snake, but one that couldn't stir up much of a wave.

He is so out of favor that among these princes now, only he and the Eighth Prince haven't been given a title. The Eighth Prince hasn't been awarded one because he's still young, doesn't fight for power, just muddles through life, and has no achievements. Emperor Chengde hasn't found an opportunity to reward him.

But Tang Juan was different.

He's not just a king; even his wife is the daughter of an average third-rank official. She's also dull and lifeless. Today, she came here with no presence whatsoever. I heard that at home, she was completely overshadowed by her half-sister.

He was unhappy but couldn't refuse.

While Tang Xiu hadn't yet married a main wife, his concubine selection was also noteworthy. She was the only granddaughter of the loyal and valiant Marquis of the Northwest, but it was rumored that she was currently pregnant and had not yet emerged.

Tang Xian looked at Tang Jiu's jealous and frantic eyes, raised his wine cup, and said, "Sixth Brother, no problem, I'll drink for her."

In ten years, Fu Jiujiu hadn't seen Tang Xian drink before, let alone what kind of drinker he was.

What if I get drunk later?

Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, she hurriedly prepared the medicinal wine pills and was about to give them to Tang Xian, but she was caught by Tang Yi.

"Chirp chirp, no cheating! What did you give Lao Qi?"

Du Xiyue really wanted to slap her own man. How could he be so clueless?

She sheepishly glanced at the young couple and smiled, wishing them well.

Bai Ruozhuang was just angered by Deng Wan'ying. She had originally wanted to comfort her emotions, but now she couldn't care less.

"Oh my, you guys are something else. Lao Qi drinking for Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Jiu feeding Lao Qi some food? This is called caring! Look at you all."
