Chapter 738 Demand an explanation from the King of Liang!
The sudden sound attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned their gazes, and upon seeing Prince Yang, they all showed expressions of surprise.
"Prince Yang?"
When Qi Qingyi saw that Prince Yang had arrived with an angry expression, she stepped forward and shielded Meng Qin behind her, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
What's happening here?
Meng Qin was surprised to see Prince Yang return. While her eyes flashed with surprise, she couldn't help but wonder if her actions just now would make him think she was being willful and capricious.
However, Prince Yang simply looked her over carefully and, seeing that she was unharmed, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you OK?"
Meng Qin shook her head and subconsciously said, "I'm fine."
When Wu Yue'er saw Prince Yang again, her feelings were even more complicated than she could have imagined.
She never expected that the engagement that Prince Yang mentioned would be true, which is why she embarrassed her brother in the Imperial Study. She never expected to run into him here today!
"She stepped on Princess Liang's foot, shouldn't she kneel down and apologize?"
Prince Yang turned to look at Qi Qingyi, "Fourth Princess, just because she stepped on you, you forced him to kneel down and apologize in front of so many people?"
Qi Qingyi didn't understand why Prince Yang would protect Meng Qin for no reason, but she had recently heard some news that Prince Yang intended to get close to Prince Chu. Could it be that this was also to curry favor with Song Ruozhen?
"Princess Liang and Wu Yue'er blocked us from leaving, so Meng Qin accidentally stepped on Princess Liang's foot."
She had already apologized, but they wouldn't let it go and insisted on making her kneel down," Song Ruozhen explained.
Prince Yang's cold gaze swept over Qi Qingyi and Wu Yue'er, and he could easily see that the two of them were deliberately making things difficult for Meng Qin!
"Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law, I have never offended you in any way, nor do I have any discord with my Fourth Imperial Brother. I really don't understand why you are making things so difficult for my soon-to-be wife!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked astonished.
Qi Qingyi was even more dumbfounded, pointing at Meng Qin and saying, "You mean her? She's your soon-to-be wife?"
"My father has already agreed to my engagement with Meng Qin, and we are currently preparing for the wedding. Is there any problem?"
Prince Yang scoffed, his eyes gleaming with malice. "I have no idea what I did to offend you, that you would bring others to humiliate my betrothed!"
Qi Qingyi glanced at Wu Yue'er subconsciously and instantly realized that Prince Yang had misunderstood, misunderstanding that she was deliberately helping Wu Yue'er to cause trouble for Meng Qin!
She never expected that the person betrothed to Prince Yang would be Meng Qin!
In other words, Meng Qin will soon become the Princess Consort of Yang. She has inexplicably offended a prince and his sister-in-law, creating an adversary for herself!
“Prince Yang, I really didn’t know that the person you were betrothed to was Miss Meng,” Qi Qingyi explained.
“Your Majesty, you don’t go out often and have no old grudges with Meng Qin. Yet you bring Wu Yue’er along to humiliate people. Do you think I would believe you if you said you didn’t know anything about it?”
Prince Yang clenched his fists. He had just promised not to let Meng Qin suffer any injustice, but he never expected that she would suffer such injustice before they were even married!
Qi Qingyi opened her mouth, she really didn't know at all, but as Prince Yang spoke, she felt it was really hard to believe.
She glared fiercely at Song Ruozhen. This woman clearly knew all along and deliberately dug a pit for them to fall into!
Wu Yue'er never expected that Meng Qin was actually the betrothed Princess Yang, and that this woman in front of her had interfered and stolen her marriage!
“Prince Yang, I truly didn’t know. They never mentioned it. If I had known, I wouldn’t have…”
"What do you mean?" Song Ruozhen retorted. "So you're admitting that you deliberately bullied Meng Qin?"
"Does being a princess give you the right to act superior and target anyone of lower status as you please?"
Qi Qingyi choked, wishing she could strangle Song Ruozhen with one hand. This woman was so opportunistic, completely silencing her. She was utterly despicable!
That's not what I meant. Don't misinterpret me!
"I misinterpreted her?" Song Ruozhen turned to look at the crowd behind her and said, "Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Tell me, am I deliberately misinterpreting her meaning?"
"I never knew that Princess Liang was so vicious. It's a good thing that Miss Meng is about to marry Prince Yang, otherwise I don't know how badly she would have been bullied today."
"Even though the Princess Consort of Chu is of a higher status than her, she bullies others because of her status. No wonder the Prince of Liang's health has always been poor; with a wife like that, it's really hard for him to recover!"
"I heard that Prince Yang has not taken any concubines since his marriage. With a princess like this, it's probably just a dream to take a concubine. He would lose his life before he even enters the house!"
The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder; everyone had witnessed Qi Qingyi's earlier harassment.
She's so arrogant and domineering in public, it's hard to imagine what she might do when no one is watching!
Qi Qingyi's expression changed repeatedly; she almost wished she could sew these people's mouths shut!
She's practically going to be ruined by all those words!
"Shut up! I didn't say that!" Qi Qingyi shouted.
The people around them did indeed shut their mouths, but their expressions became even stranger...
"I will go to the Liang Prince's residence later to demand an explanation!"
Prince Yang had a cold face; naturally, he had nothing to say to a woman.
This matter was caused by the Liang Prince's Mansion, so it is only natural for him to ask his elder brother for an explanation!
Qi Qingyi's heart skipped a beat when she thought about how this matter would be brought before Prince Liang, and how Prince Liang would definitely be angry given his temper.
“Prince Yang, what happened today was my fault. Why don’t I apologize to you? We are all family, there’s really no need to make a big deal out of it, don’t you think?”
Prince Yang ignored Qi Qingyi. He had seen everything clearly before he came in and knew exactly how outrageous Qi Qingyi had been!
Nowadays, when someone bullies you, you just want to settle things peacefully. But it's not that simple.
"Didn't Meng Qin apologize to the Empress Dowager before? Why does she insist on making a big deal out of it?" Prince Yang asked rhetorically.
Qi Qingyi clenched her fists. She had never known that Prince Yang would be so difficult to deal with!
Song Ruozhen and the others exchanged glances; Yang Wang's reaction was somewhat unexpected.
"Ruozhen, no wonder you said that Prince Yang is Meng Qin's destined husband. Judging from the situation today, there's really no need to worry about her being bullied after she marries him," Yun Nianchu said with a smile.
Song Ruozhen nodded, her gaze falling on Chu Junting outside. She blinked. Today, with Prince Yang rescuing the beauty, they could just watch the show from the sidelines!
As for Qi Qingyi, she was the one who caused the trouble, so she has to clean it up herself!
"Prince Yang, it's just a small quarrel, why are you being so aggressive?"
Seeing that Prince Yang was protecting Meng Qin so much, Wu Yue'er was furious. Could it be that he really liked this woman?
