Feng Ning heaved a sigh of relief secretly when the investigators had left.

Truth to be told, she was indeed a bit afraid. In her past life, she had been pressured so many times by other people that she didn’t know what to say. In the end, it all simply backfired to her, leaving with nothing good.

She had learned in the hard way that staying silent and gave way to others would never end well for her.

There were times when she had to stand up for herself.

Even if she felt afraid, even if it was not easy, she had to speak up because no one else would speak for her.

“Your Highness, you’re really amazing.” Xiao Mu’s eyes sparkled when she looked at Feng Ning. She had never expected that when Feng Ning really wrote the letters in Xiao Yu aggressively, it would be so awesome.

Xiao Yu also nodded. She even got a kick from having to speak that way to the people who came. It was amazing to see them cower in front of her because of Feng Ning’s words and stance.

Feng Ning only smiled and waved her hand.

“Your Highness, it’s nearly time for lunch, do you want to eat?”

Feng Ning nodded. She looked at her quarter and then turned around while writing the word of a pavilion in Xiao Yu’s palm. When she got closer, she faintly sensed the smell of medicine.

The investigators knew that she learned medicine, so they might not think too much. However, Feng Ning knew that she hadn’t been concocting any medicines for the past few days because Imperial Doctor Wu was busy.

Thus, there could only be one reason why there was a smell of medicine there.

Feng Ning had no intention of speaking with her husband or meeting him, so she decided that she would just turn a blind eye and had her meal somewhere else.

“Your Highness, Her Highness had left.”

Prince Lin Zi Xuan was looking from the window as Feng Ning walked away. His eyes narrowed slightly as the corner of his lips curled up to form a smile. While Feng Ning led the investigators, he had his men watching her and gave thorough report on everything she said through Xiao Yu.

And the result was really out of his expectation.

The sweet and soft little girl was actually capable of baring her fangs so openly and showed those investigators what it meant to be part of the Imperial Family.

“The investigator who spoke against her, take care of him and his family.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Prince Lin Zi Xuan slightly caressed the accessory that belonged to Feng Ning on the table. He noticed her pause and also her contemplation, so he could guess that Feng Ning knew that he was here.

How she knew, he didn’t care.

What made him pleased was that she seemed to pretend that she knew nothing, leaving him to stay here alone.

It was good enough.

 

Prince Lin Zi Xuan stayed for a bit longer to recover enough for him to be able to protect himself.

During the time he stayed inside his residence without anyone knowing, Feng Ning never let anyone went near his study. She led the servants to go through other ways, instructing them to keep the area empty as her husband was ‘not there.’

The servants were not suspicious.

They followed her instruction well as had been ordered to them.

On the other hand, Prince Lin Zi Xuan went out of the Capital City and reunited with General Wei, giving him detailed report of what he had experienced. Naturally, he omitted the part where he recuperated in his residence and only said that he stayed with his men in the wilderness.

The two of them returned to the Capital City.

At the gate, the guards were not informed of their arrival, causing them to be unable to react in time.

“Who is it?” the guards blocked the gate.

Prince Lin Zi Xuan arched his eyebrows. How bold of them to block the road of a Wang Ye.

(A/N: wang ye = prince)

General Wei’s eyes narrowed when he saw the guards dared to block them. “This is Prince Lin Zi Xuan and General Wei returning from vanquishing the bandits. Are you not going to open the gate?”

“Prince Lin Zi Xuan?” The guard in front of him was confused.

At the same time, his legs felt weak when he thought about his rudeness towards an Imperial Family member.

He quickly kowtowed to the ground and apologized vehemently.

“Speak, what had happened for the past few days?” General Wei asked in stern tone when he saw the guards like this. He didn’t believe that there was nothing that happened based on the way they behaved.

Beside General Wei, Prince Lin Zi Xuan was keeping a faint smile on his face, yet his eyes were slightly cold. For this matter, he would let the upright General Wei took charge and simply waited by the side.

His stupid brother would soon understand that he was not someone who could be treated this way without him paying the price.

General Wei was thoroughly enraged at Prince Lin Hu Xi’s accusation towards Prince Lin Zi Xuan and promptly revealed everything. Thus, everyone knew that Prince Lin Zi Xuan was wounded because he was saving Prince Lin Hu Xi.

As for Prince Lin Hu Xi’s wound?

That was because of his stupidity.

With General Wei and the soldiers’ testimony, the rumors in the Capital City took a 180 degrees turn.

Almost overnight, everyone in the Capital City knew how stupid Prince Lin Hu Xi was. He was also daring enough to accuse his own brother for his injury. He thought that everyone was so stupid that they couldn’t see the truth when it was presented before them?

Rather than believing the useless prince, who was famous for not being good at anything, they would rather believe the upright General Wei and the soldiers. They would definitely tell the truth.

Many people mocked and looked down on Prince Lin Hu Xi secretly.

This caused Prince Lin Hu Xi to be so embarrassed that he didn’t dare to get out of his residence. Even his father was very angry at him. If he wanted to frame his brother, he had to at least make sure that he could do it right!

What was the point of trying to frame and then get the truth slapped in front of them?

Useless!
