Chapter 441: The Young Marquis Saves the Damsel in Distress

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Today, as the owner of Full Moon Pavilion, I’ll send this lowly servant to prison,” Yu Xiaoxiao said arrogantly.

‘The owner of Full Moon Pavilion?’

‘Well, if the Full Moon Pavilion belongs to the Shang family, I guess it’s not an exaggeration to say it belongs to the Commandery Princess. After all, the Shang family only gained a footing in the capital all those years ago because of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.’

‘It seems like we can’t underestimate those small families in the future…

Many people present were already thinking of ways to establish a relationship with the Shang family at this moment.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the servants behind her and gestured to them to capture Qian Qing.

Based on the burly build of her servants, it was clear that Yu Xiaoxiao had come prepared. They were quite skilled.

Meanwhile, Qian Qing narrowed her eyes and prepared to draw her weapon at her waist. However, a scarlet figure suddenly moved to stand in front of her.

Luo Xiuran fanned himself lazily as he glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao’s servants.

Yu Xiaoxiao recognized Luo Xiuran immediately. She called out stiffly,

“Y-young Marquis Luo?”

Although Yu Xiaoxiao had never left the capital, she had once heard about Tianxia from the Crown Prince. In Tianxia, the Prince Regent held great power in both the court and the military. The Prince Regent only had one close friend, and it was none other than Luo Xiuran. At that time, the Crown Prince had told her that if he could befriend the duo, it would be greatly beneficial to him.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and tried her best to look kind as she said, “Young Marquis Luo, I’m teaching this maid a lesson. She’s dirty.

Please don’t interfere.

“Oh? Dirty? Why is she dirty?”

Luo Xiuran stopped fanning himself, and his seductive eyes glinted coldly.

In the private room.

Meng Xia wanted to go out and help Qian Qing at this moment, but she was stopped by Yu Yunxi.

Yu Yunxi leaned against the door with her arms crossed as she said meaningfully, “Someone is saving the damsel in distress. Let’s just wait and see.”

Realization finally dawned on Meng Xia, and she giggled. Her eyes sparkled as she said, “I understand!”

Qian Qing looked at the man standing in front of her and protecting her as she said helplessly, “Young Marquis Luo, I can handle this.”

Luo Xiuran turned around and looked at Qian Qing with an aggrieved expression as he said with a slight pout, “I don’t care. I want to protect you.”

Luo Xiuran naturally knew that Qian Qing was very capable and could easily handle this matter. However, he just could not bear watching others bully her.

Upon seeing Luo Xiuran and Qian Qing’s interaction, Yu Xiaoxiao scoffed inwardly.

‘Promiscuous sl*t! As expected of Yu Yunxi’s servant! She actually hooked up with the young marquis from Tianxia. Wait… Did the Prince Regent of Tianxia give Yu Yunxi so many things last night because of Luo Xiuran? After all, Luo Xiuran seems to care a lot about this b*tch. It’s not impossible for him to ask the Prince Regent to Yu Yunxi because of this b*tch!’

The more Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more she was convinced of her conjecture. After all, based on how aloof the Prince Regent of Tianxia was, she did not think he would like Yu Yunxi.

Meanwhile, Luo Xiuran turned back to look at Yu Xiaoxiao, and his expression turned cold immediately. He said flatly, “You’re the Commandery Princess, right? You said Qian Qing stole something. Do you have any evidence?”

“The auspicious plate was hung on the wall of the stairs. Qian Qing walked past it earlier. Many people saw it…

Luo Xiuran scoffed before he said disdainfully, “So you accused her of stealing it because she walked past it earlier? So many people walked past it earlier so why didn’t you accuse them? It seems like the judge in Xichu’s judicial department should resign and let you take his place.”

“You!”

Yu Xiaoxiao’s expression was extremely hideous when she heard Luo Xiuran’s mocking words. After a beat, she said, “Young Marquis Luo, this is Xichu. It’s not a place where you can behave as you please. Indeed, there were others who passed by it earlier, but they are all nobles of the capital. They’re all rich and powerful. Why would they steal? The culprit is clearly this lowly and greedy maidservant!”

After saying that, Yu Xiaoxiao turned to the crowd and asked, “Everyone, don’t you agree?”

Awkward expressions could be seen on everyone’s faces at this moment. In fact, they also felt that Yu Xiaoxiao’s logic was too far-fetched. However, they did not want to bring trouble to themselves. After all, if the auspicious plate was not found, what if Yu Xiaoxiao started to suspect them?

‘Forget it, forget it. She’s just a lowly servant.’

‘So what if she’s wrongly accused? She can only blame her bad luck!’ With this, many people began to speak up one after another.

“That’s right. All of us have a good upbringing. We naturally won’t do such a thing.”

“This servant must have done it. Commandery Princess, you should just send her to the judicial department. Don’t let her ruin the mood here.”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

The aura Luo Xiuran emitted at this moment was freezing cold as he said, “So the nobles and scholars of Xichu are actually like this. They have no qualms about pushing the blame on an innocent woman. I’ve learned something new today.”

‘How dare these people treat my Qian Qing in this manner!’

Unsurprisingly, some people were displeased with Luo Xiuran’s words.

“You’re Young Marquis Luo from Tianxia, right? You’re a guest of Xichu now so you should restrain yourself a little.”

“That’s right. Don’t slander us.”

“Don’t tell me you pity this servant just because she looks good?”

“There are so many women in the capital’s pleasure house. If you’re looking for beautiful women, you should go there. Why bother with this lowly servant who’s a thief?”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

In the next moment, a wooden stick flew out and directly hit a few people. They fell to the ground and groaned in pain.

“Y-young Marquis Luo, how dare you hurt us?”

Those people widened their eyes in shock as they looked at Luo Xiuran. They did not expect him to be so bold.

At this moment, Yu Yunxi walked downstairs. She looked at everyone coldly as she said, “Young Marquis Luo, you did a good job. Continue.”

Those people were filled with anger at this moment. When they heard Yu

Yunxi’s words, one of them cursed, “You arrogant b*tch! Who are you?”

Meng Xia stepped forward and kicked the man’s chest, and the man fell to the ground with a loud thud.

“How dare you insult the Eldest Princess?”

Everyone froze as soon as they heard Meng Xia’s words.

‘Eldest… Eldest Princess?’

Everyone turned to look at Yu Yunxi in unison, and when they saw her cold gaze, they felt as though they were being choked.

‘It’s the Eldest Princess! The one who turned the imperial court upside down as soon as she returned!’

‘It was said that when she went to pray for blessings with the Empress Dowager and the others two days ago, she almost drove Consort Mu crazy with anger!’

‘This vicious woman! Father has repeatedly warned me not to provoke her while the Emperor Emeritus is still in the capital!’
