Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After all, his mothers family was wealthy and had hundreds of people. It was really difficult for him to remember!

However, he was certain. Before you called me cousin, could you first ask if I was familiar with you? Since I wasnt familiar with you, what was wrong with saying something harsh? Moreover, did you criticize General Lins family principles for being lax? You even accused Sisi of using objectionable methods.

Madam Xiao and her daughters expressions stiffened. They were well-versed in this rhetoric and tactic within womens circles, never having lost, but no man had ever interfered, speaking so clearly and directly.

Madam Xiaos face turned livid. Ruxue and I didnt say that. Ninth Prince, dont malign us.

Didnt 1 not hear you just now? And what right do you have to let Sisi use her marriage to compensate for your daughter? She is my future imperial consort, and you wanted to exchange her for your daughter? On what grounds?

Chu Jinling was like a proud fighting cock, showing no mercy as he peeled away inch by inch of the Xiao mother and daughters pride.

Xiao Ruxues eyes instantly filled with jealousy. Lin Sisi, that ugly freak!

It was barbaric and rude!

Why did she receive such desperate protection from Chu Jinling?

She felt indignant and bit her lip as she said pitifully, Cousin, why are you so merciless? Im just infatuated with you. 1 only care about Miss Lin because she is infatuated with you. The injury on my face is not worthy of Miss Lins concern.

She vaguely expressed her feelings for Chu Jinling, shyly and timidly.

In front of Lin Sisi, she appeared very weak and won everyones sympathy.Aall west chptrs on n.o./vli/n/(.)cm

They immediately turned their focus on Lin Sisi again, but before they could speak, Chu Jinling took the lead. Its good that you know your place! Sisi is the daughter of a great general and the future imperial consort of me. Your injuries are not worthy of her concern.

Also, you were injured on your forehead. Dont confuse your forehead with your face. Such a wound doesnt even require the summoning of the court physician. Ordinary doctors could treat it. Dont pity yourself too much. Such an injury wouldnt make you unmarriageable.

If indeed you cant get married, you should reflect on yourself.

Leaning against Chu Jinling, Lin Sisi suddenly felt less frightened and embarrassed.

She smiled, her eyes curving like the crescent moon.

Chu Jinling was delighted to see this.

The mother and daughter from the Xiao family seemed as if they had been scalded in boiling oil. Chu Jinling had completely stripped away their dignity. At this moment, they gritted their teeth in anger and unwillingness.

Jinling, dont be disrespectful!

Noble Consort Xiao arrived.

As soon as she appeared, she was surrounded by numerous palace attendants, and two palace maids holding the train of her long skirt.

To the astonishment of the women present, Noble Consort Xiaos trailing long skirt was inlaid with a circle of pearls threaded with gold, totaling more than a hundred.

With just one palace gown, she exuded such magnificence and nobility, compelling submission.

She extended her carefully maintained fingers and poked Chu Jinlings face. How can you speak to your aunt and cousin like this?

Chu Jinling wasnt as brazen as before. In front of Noble Consort Xiao, he puffed up his face, acting like a cute child. They were the ones who bullied Sisi first!

Oh? Youre already protecting her like this before the marriage. After youre married, even 1, as the mother, will have to consider her opinions, right? Noble Consort Xiao chuckled softly.

Lin Sisis heart sank. For some reason, she felt Noble Consort Xiaos hostility.

She didnt like her.

Considering Noble Consort Xiao would be her mother-in-law in the future, she subconsciously lowered her head.

Chu Jinling patted her to straighten her back and even held her hand, joining it with Noble Consort Xiaos hand..
