The Regent Princess has run away again

Chapter 113 Punishing the Evildoers

When Xue Zhicheng heard Xue Zhiyu say such ridiculous words, he felt even more embarrassed, especially in front of the Regent's people.

A hint of sneer appeared on Xue Zhiyu's lips. She quietly took a few steps back, but her eyes looked ahead stubbornly, with no intention of repenting at all.

"Sister, this is our parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Don't get angry with father anymore," Xue Yumei stepped forward at the right time to persuade him.

These words made Xue Zhicheng feel a little relieved. His eldest daughter was sensible and at least did not make him angry.

No matter how stupid You was, he could see that Xue Zhicheng was biased, and he felt more sympathy for Xue Zhiyu.

He coughed a few times and said, "Didn't I give this jade pendant to the princess for safekeeping? When I went to ask the princess for it, I saw Master Cai acting sneaky. Did he take it away?"

Xue Zhicheng didn't expect that his daughter would actually know someone related to the Regent. He couldn't help but look at her a few more times and adjusted the scale in his heart again.

If anyone was feeling uncomfortable, it was naturally Xue Yumei and her daughter. However, they could not show it too obviously, so they had to endure it. However, their hatred towards Xue Zhiyu became even stronger.

When Cai Wentao heard this, he frowned and looked at You. He had never offended anyone of the Regent, so why would they target him?

But he remained calm and said, "This lord may have seen it wrong. Sister Zhiyu and I love each other, so how can there be any talk of sneaking around?"

"Oh? Then your jade pendant must be fake, after all, the princess has already returned the real one to me."

As You spoke, he untied the jade pendant from his belt and held it high, his eyes fixed on Cai Wentao.

Sure enough, when the other party saw the identical jade pendant, the panic on his face was obvious, which naturally caught Xue Zhicheng's attention. He narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Cai Wentao was already in a state of anxiety, and felt that You's gaze seemed to carry a heavy pressure that made him breathless.

Xue Zhiyu naturally did not miss this good opportunity, and stepped forward to ask, "Could it be that you imitated this jade pendant on purpose just to deal with the Regent?"

The last sentence was like a powerful bomb, creating a huge splash on the calm lake.

Cai Wentao was so frightened that all the color on his face instantly disappeared. His lips trembled slightly as he met Xue Zhiyu's mysterious gaze, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"No! You are wrongly accusing me. This was clearly taken from you. How could I have copied it?"

Cai Wentao no longer cared about what Xue Yumei had told him and blurted out everything.

Xue Zhicheng had nothing to understand when he saw this, but the Regent's men were still there, so even if he was angry, he couldn't lose his temper on the spot, but the expression on his face was still tense.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's just leave it at that. I will come to visit Your Highness in person when I have time."

Xue Zhiyu saw that her cheap father wanted to let the matter go, but she just couldn't let him have his way. She was no longer the cowardly Third Miss Xue.

"In that case, Mr. Cai, please explain clearly to the people outside that you are greedy and vain, and have humiliated my reputation. No matter how wrong you are, it is all your fault, Mr. Cai."

When Cai Wentao heard this, his eyes widened as if a fire was burning in his eyes, burning away the rest of his rationality.

"You are just a slut that no one wants. What qualifications do you have to be picky? I am willing to marry you as my principal wife. It is your honor. If it weren't for your status as a princess, a woman like you should be thrown into a pig cage!"

"Tsk, you still remember my identity as a princess? Just because you insulted me just now, I can put you in jail."

You also added: "And you actually imitated His Highness's jade pendant. I suspect you have other intentions. You may be a traitor sent by a foreign country."

Cai Wentao didn't dare to speak casually this time, but his eyes were fixed on You, feeling fear and anger in his heart.

Xue Yumei was also frightened at this time. Her third sister seemed to have become a different person. She no longer cared about her father's opinion or her so-called reputation. She became vindictive and didn't care about the eyes of the world.

She gritted her teeth secretly. Some things were slowly deviating from her plan, which made her feel increasingly uneasy.

It seems that Cai Wentao is a very valuable chess piece.

"I never thought that Master Cai would be such a person. Fortunately, there are people from His Royal Highness the Regent, otherwise my sister's reputation would be ruined!"

Xue Yumei was filled with righteous indignation when she spoke, her gentle face was filled with anger, and her eyes were filled with pain when she looked at Xue Zhiyu.

Then, she turned her head to look at Xue Zhicheng, and knelt down suddenly. The sound was so loud that it almost made people's hearts tremble. It can be imagined that her knees must have been broken.

"Father, I was deceived by Mr. Cai's sweet words and thought that he would treat my third sister sincerely. Who knew that he was such a person and almost harmed my third sister? I ask to be locked up for a month."

Xue Yumei was crying and her eyes were wet with tears. Tears kept rolling down her almond-shaped eyes, as if she was the one who was hurt. There was a hint of pleading on her gentle face.

Madam Xue came to her senses, but she was reluctant to hug Xue Yumei, so she also knelt down, "Master, it was my fault that I made a mistake, all the mistakes were my fault!"

Xue Zhiyu looked at the two people's superb acting skills, and the sneer in her eyes became even more intense. There seemed to be a sharp sword hidden in her dark eyes, staring straight at Xue Zhicheng.

She no longer had any expectations for this cheap old father. After all, in his heart, she was a dispensable existence.

Xue Zhicheng was frightened by the look in his daughter's eyes. He felt inexplicably panicked and couldn't guess what she was thinking for a moment.

But he still pretended to be calm and cleared his throat. Although he was dissatisfied with the behavior of Mrs. Xue and her daughter, he still had to save some face in front of outsiders.

"Then let's do it this way. Don't be so foolish in the future. Zhiyu, go back and rest. Dad knows that you must have been very tired after the long journey. Someone, take Miss Three back to the courtyard."

"Mr. Prime Minister, your behavior seems inappropriate. It is not like your usual selfless style. This concerns the reputation of the princess, and... His Highness also attaches great importance to this matter."

At the end, You looked at Xue Zhicheng meaningfully, then retreated to Xue Zhiyu's side and said nothing more.

Xue Zhicheng was not stupid. He knew that Youdu came here on behalf of the Regent. So the fact that he chose to stand behind Xue Zhiyu was self-evident.

The Regent will be her support.

"Hahaha, thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will also announce the truth to the public and will definitely clear Zhiyu's name."

Xue Zhicheng didn't dare to avoid the issue anymore. He looked at Mrs. Xue and her daughter with a look as cold as winter that penetrated into his bones.

"Hurry up and get down! You have acted so foolishly this time! You are not allowed to leave the house without my order!"

"Yes, I will go back and reflect on my mistakes now."

Even though the two men were filled with hatred, they still gritted their teeth and endured it, bowed and left the front hall.

As for Cai Wentao, he was completely frightened and at a loss. When he saw Xue Yumei leaving, he suddenly came to his senses. When he was about to leave quietly, he was discovered by You.

"Hey, Master Cai, where are you in such a hurry to go? You haven't explained the matter of your fake jade pendant yet. If there is even a single lie, I will report it to His Highness."

Cai Wentao frowned, turned around and looked at You, and said angrily: "I really got this jade pendant from Sister Zhiyu, why don't you ask her where she got the jade pendant from? She has so many patrons... wuwuwuwuwuwu!"

Before Cai Wentao could finish his words, he felt as if his throat was blocked, and the words he spoke eventually turned into sobs.

Xuanji was playing with the magic power in her hand. When she heard what Cai Wentao said, the nonchalant smile on her face faded a little, and the magic power in her hand flicked out lightly.

Seeing that Cai Wentao couldn't make a sound, he returned to his nonchalant state.

007 saw all of this in Xue Zhiyu's mind and almost collapsed. He prayed silently in his heart that the people from heaven would not be lured down.

Otherwise, he would not be able to complete the task assigned to him by the adults.

"Hey! Don't mess around here, this is not heaven, don't use your magic power recklessly, or you'll get into trouble!"

When Xuanji heard 007's almost roaring voice, she said nonchalantly: "You are too timid, it won't cause any harm to anyone, it just makes him unable to speak temporarily, you are the same as your master, as timid as a mouse."

When 007 heard this, he immediately got furious. He said he could say anything about anyone except his most respected master.

"Who are you calling a coward? The adults are just worried that the mission cannot be completed. You don't understand!"

"Oh, mission, that's really professionalism, it's still the same after several reincarnations, I really don't understand, since Hades likes to be a turtle so much, then keep it up."

Xuan Ji didn't want to say anything more to 007, so she took the initiative to cut off the conversation between the two and slowly closed her eyes.

He knew that Hades would rather bear it all himself than let her get hurt at all, but would this really be good for everyone?

I'm afraid not. His intuition tells him that something will change in this life.

007 was so angry that he wanted to turn into a physical body and rush out to beat him up. What the hell is this guy talking about? !

Although Xue Zhiyu didn't know why Cai Wentao couldn't speak, she didn't want to think about it, and continued, "Since Master Cai won't tell the truth no matter what, let's leave it to the government to handle it properly."

Cai Wentao could only glare at Xue Zhiyu fiercely. His originally pretty face gradually became ferocious, and his pupils were filled with anger, mixed with a hint of hatred.

"I agree with the princess. Since Master Cai is unwilling to confess honestly, he should go to the government office."

After You finished speaking, without waiting for Cai Wentao to react, a man in black appeared in the main hall and pushed him to the ground with his backhand.

Xue Zhicheng frowned slightly. Even though there was no emotion on his face, he was a little more alert in his heart about the sudden appearance of the man in black.

You casually put the jade pendant on the table into his pocket, then took it out and handed it to Xue Zhiyu.

"Princess, I still need your help to keep this jade pendant for a while."

Xue Zhiyu looked at the jade pendant in You's hand, and a hint of teasing flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything else. After a few polite words, she accepted it.

Cai Wentao struggled hard. He refused to go to the yamen, especially since he was being taken away by the regent's men. In addition, the regent was investigating his father during this period, so he could not enter the yamen.

You waved to the man in black, signaling him to take him away. He then looked at Xue Zhicheng and said goodbye, "I won't bother you any more, Prime Minister. I'm leaving now. I'll also pass on Prime Minister's greetings to Your Highness."

"Okay, I'll have my servant take you out."

After sending You away, Xue Zhicheng felt very complicated about his third daughter. He pursed his lips and slowly said, "Zhiyu, father will clarify the matter to the public and will definitely clear your name."

"Oh, thank you, father."

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking nonchalantly, she no longer had any intention of staying and turned to leave the main hall.

"Is your mother okay?"

Xue Zhiyu dodged as she was about to leave. She felt that Xue Zhicheng's words were ridiculous and she felt sorry for her mother.

"Oh, since you care so much about mother, why don't you go visit her in person? There are no outsiders here, so father doesn't have to act like this anymore."

After she finished speaking, she walked out of the main hall without looking back, and regardless of Xue Zhicheng's scolding behind her, she went straight to her mother's quiet residence.
