“Lord Marquis!”

“Father!”

Mrs. Marquis Changan and Li Qinyu roared furiously in humiliation.

Marquis Changan was definitely someone who knew when to give and take. When he saw that the situation was not advantageous, he would change his strategy.

“Come here!”

Marquis Changan walked up to Su Ying first and knelt before her, speaking with a sincere expression, “Your Highness, please calm down. Today, they were not sensible and offended you. Please forgive them and don’t lower yourself to their level.”

Marquis Changan had already knelt down. If Mrs. Marquis Changan and Li Qinyu continued to be obstinate, then it would be too unbecoming.

The mother and daughter, together with Rong Mingxi, walked up to Su Ying with humiliated faces and knelt down resentfully.

“Please forgive me, Your Highness.”

Su Ying’s eyes were indifferent. “What did you guys say? 1 can’t hear you.”

They took a deep breath and clenched their fists tightly.

“Please forgive me, Your Highness.”

Only then was Su Ying satisfied. “Just this once. If there’s a next time, even His Highness won’t be able to save you.”

The few of them were immersed in endless humiliation. They did not understand the meaning of Su Ying’s words. It was clearly Xiao Jin who was siding with Su Ying. How did it turn into an act of saving them!

When he saw that Su Ying did not insist anymore, Marquis Changan stood up and said, “Thank you, Your Highness. Everyone, don’t just stand there. Quickly sit down. Everyone, please sit down. The banquet is about to begin.”

Marquis Changan gave Mrs. Marquis Changan an eye signal, hinting to her to pull herself together and not continue to embarrass herself in front of the guests.

Mrs. Marquis Changan was full of hatred inwardly, but there were still so many people present. Thus, she could only bite the bullet and put on a smile to entertain the guests.

Li Qinyu and the others did not have such a graceful forbearance. Rong Mingxi immediately left the residence while Li Qinyu left the garden in anger.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jin and Su Ying were still sitting calmly in their chairs.

Everyone timidly sneaked glances at Su Ying.

“Why are you here? Don’t you have to go to work today?” Su Ying’s gaze fell on the roasted whole lamb that the servants carried up.

Su Ying’s attention was completely drawn to the roasted whole lamb the moment it appeared.

Xiao Jin took a sip of tea. “1 was passing by, so I came to take a look.”

Su Ying shot him a glance. If she remembered correctly, the base camp of the Imperial Guards was located at the foot of the Imperial City. Even if he were to go north, south, east, or west after exiting from that location, he wouldn’t pass by this place.

However, Su Ying didn’t mind.

Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying and saw that her gaze was following the roasted whole lamb all the way. She didn’t even look at Xiao Jue, who sitting near her. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

Marquis Changan was indeed a person who knew how to socialize. After the banquet began, the atmosphere quickly became lively. Everyone seemed to have forgotten everything that had just happened, and their faces were full of smiles.

The roasted mutton was sliced off by the attendants and served to the guests sequentially.

Su Ying looked at the people at the table and felt that the portion wasn’t enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

“Bring one lamb directly to Her Highness,” Xiao Jin said.

Although everyone seemed to be immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet, their gazes would still be wandering to Xiao Jin and his group from time to time. When they heard Xiao Jin asking for one whole roasted lamb, they were all astounded.

This request wasn’t excessive, and Marquis Changan would never offend anyone over a lamb, so he immediately had the lamb delivered to Su Ying.

Su Ying was satisfied at once.

“I heard that Marquis Changan invited a Western Liang chef here.”

Marquis Changan replied when he heard that, “Yes. The dishes will be served soon. You can then have a taste of the cuisine of the Western Liang region, Your Highness.”

Xiao Jin nodded and didn’t say anything else. It was as if he really just wanted to try the Western Liang cuisine.

Su Ying immediately tore off a lamb leg and started eating.

Iler actions weren’t exactly graceful and were even a little uncouth. Xiao Jue had despised such behavior vehemently all along, but for some reason, as he watched her, he felt that she wasn’t acting delicate or pretentious at all.

Xiao Jue raised his eyes and met Xiao Jin’s eyes which were as deep as the sea. The warning look in Xiao Jin’s eyes was very obvious.

Xiao Jue gave a scornful snort and looked away.

By the time Su Ying finished half of the lamb, the Western Liang dishes were finally served.

Aunt Zhao said that Western Liang cuisine emphasized the ingredients themselves. During the cooking process, the flavor was very light. In this way, the sauce would not cover up the natural fragrance of the ingredients.

Su Ying looked at the chicken on the plate and straightaway picked up a drumstick with her hand. She dipped it in the sauce and put it into her mouth.

Xiao Jin sat by the side and watched quietly. From time to time, he would help to wipe off the grease stains on her hands.

Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder as they watched, wondering just what sort of attraction Su Ying had that could make Prince Qi become so mesmerized by her!

“I’m almost full. My stomach can’t take it if I eat too much.”

Marquis Changan looked at the mutton that Su Ying had almost finished on her own, and his brows twitched. This was almost the amount of food a few grown men could eat, yet she still said she was almost full?

Su Ying was indeed a little full. She threw away the lamb bone and slowly exhaled. She drank two more cups of tea to rinse her mouth, wiped her hands clean, and stood up in satisfaction.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Marquis Changan. Farewell.”

Xiao Jin also stood up and left with her.

As he watched the two of them leave, Marquis Changan began to suspect that she had come here just to eat the lamb.

After leaving Marquis Changan’s Residence, Xiao Jin mounted his horse.

“You go back first.”

Su Ying nodded and boarded the horse carriage.

As soon as the curtains dropped down, Bai Shuang gave Su Ying a thumbs up. “Your Highness, you’re really amazing.”

After Su Ying had her fill, her mood was much better. “What’s so amazing about it? Don’t tell me I’m not allowed to fight back when I’m bullied? That doesn’t make sense to me.”

She did not care about the lives of these people. They had to pay the price for provoking her.

As soon as Su Ying’s horse carriage left, the guests in the Marquis’s Residence began to discuss animatedly.

“This Prince Qi and his consort are too arrogant. Can Lord Marquis really swallow this?” the person sitting beside Marquis Changan spoke in a low voice.

Marquis Changan was a tactful person, so he was very well-liked by these nobles from aristocratic families. However, this did not mean that he could be bullied. If he swallowed this insult today, who knew how many people would be waiting to see him make a fool of himself later!

Marquis Changan gulped down a mouthful of wine without a word but his mind had already formulated a plan.

The next morning.

The news of Prince Qi abetting the tyrannical Princess Consort Qi assaulting people in Marquis Changan’s Residence reached Emperor Kangze’s ears.

Emperor Kangze didn’t reprimand Xiao Jin immediately after he found out. Instead, he summoned Su Ying into the palace.

Emperor Kangze looked at Su Ying kneeling before him. He had never liked this daughter-in-law of his. She was a foolish, reckless, and idiotic character.

He thought that what she had done before was already out of line. To his surprise, she even hit people publicly now.

“Su Ying, do you know your mistake?”

Su Ying felt that she still detested Emperor Kangze when she faced him again, especially when she saw those two eyes filled with scheming.

“1 don’t know what my mistake is.”

“You caused a ruckus in Marquis Changan’s Residence and even beat up the Young Miss of Marquis Changan and the Young Miss of the Minister of War. Do you still think you didn’t do anything wrong?”

“They provoked and humiliated me first. 1 can overlook them humiliating me, but I am Princess Consort Qi and a member of the Imperial Family.. If they are still so arrogant, aren’t they simply not showing any respect for Your Majesty?”
