Ilan Yuwen redirected her sharpness towards Lin Sisi.
āI didnāt violate any palace rules. It seems like you think you know the palace rules very well!ā Lin Sisi couldnāt stand Han Yuwenās arrogant demeanor in the imperial palace of the Great Cheng Dynasty, acting as if it were her own home. āInsolent! What is your status, you talk to me like that?ā Han Yuwen slammed the table in anger. āEmpress, are the women from your country all such arrogant and domineering things?ā
āYouāre the insolent one! Standing in the imperial palace of the Great Cheng Dynasty and insulting my imperial consort, who do you think you are!ā
Chu Jinling quickly walked out, positioning himself beside Lin Sisi in a protective stance. It was evident that Han Yuwen was not insulting anyone else but his Ninth Imperial Consort!
āImperial Consort.ā
Han Yuwen sneered. She didnāt even spare a glance for the princess of the Great Cheng Dynasty, let alone an imperial consort.
āCousin, Miss Lin hasnāt married you yet. You donāt have to be so eager,ā Xiao Ruxue said, seemingly offering good intentions.
Han Yuwen instantly grasped the situation. āNot married yet, and she already considers herself an imperial consort. With this noble status, does she think she can save someone who violates palace rules?ā
She turned to the empress. ā1 didnāt know. So, the empress manages the harem and noble ladies with such attitudes. Your Majesty, youāve worked hard.ā
Her words struck a nerve with the empress. Anyone with a good relationship with Su Yingxue was her enemy, and now, Lin Sisi had come forward!
āMen, Lin Sisi disrespects me, shows contempt towards me, punish her!ā
The empress scolded with a stern face.
Chu Jinling swiftly protected Lin Sisi. āDonāt hit my wife!ā
He turned and glared at Xiao Ruxue. āWhether sheās married or not, Sisi is my wife. No need for others to meddle!ā
Xiao Ruxue scolded publicly, blushing with embarrassment.
Chu Jinlingās protective stance for Lin Sisi meant opposing the empress. To uphold her dignity, the empress would surely target him.
In a moment of desperation, Chu Jinling struck one of the empressās servants. The empress immediately accused, āChu Jinling, are you rebelling?ā
āI⦠Iām not! But 1 wonāt allow anyone to hurt my wife!ā
Chu Jinling encircled Lin Sisi, shouting at the empress, āIf you want to hit someone, hit me. Donāt touch my wife!ā
āJinling, stop fooling around. Itās okay if I get hit. Iām tough.ā Lin Sisi nudged him, urging him to return to his seat.
Chu Jinling pouted. āNo! Youāre my wife. If someone hits you, it means Iām useless. My mother said a man who canāt protect his own woman is the most useless!ā
Noble Consort Xiao felt a headache when Chu Jinling brought up this matter.
This incident stemmed from Su Yingxue, but Han Yuwen was the reason.
She could only look at Han Yuwen and say with a smile, āIāve always heard that Princess Yuwen manages Qi Stateās national treasury. Iām from the Xiao family, and we have a lot of business with Qi State. I heard recently that a ship loaded with goods is about to be shipped to Qi State. I wonder if there will be any accidents on the way.ā
Han Yuwenās eyes darkened upon hearing this. She gritted her teeth, secretly resenting Lin Sisi for letting Noble Consort Xiao intervene!
The business was more crucial than venting anger..
