The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 113 Water Crisis
Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement and started discussing it.

"That's an imperial decree granting marriage, how can you just refuse it?"

"That's right. This imperial city isn't that big. If something like this really happened, how could we not hear anything about it?"

"I think it's this girl who is talking nonsense. It's a serious crime to talk about the royal family casually..."

Someone subconsciously looked at Ye Beihao.

Bai Qianyi listened to these remarks in disbelief, and her face couldn't help but turn pale.

Looking up at Bai Qianxi, he could not stop feeling lost and sad, his eyes were blurred with tears, "Sister...how can you not admit it...this kind of thing is a crime of deceiving the emperor...if it gets out..."

Seeing her like this, some people couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

What if everything she said was true?

Bai Qianxi continued, "Let's not talk about others. If there really was an arranged marriage, why didn't the Second Prince know about it, and why didn't the Princess know about it? Do you think you are more informed than them?"

Yes.

Subconsciously, everyone turned their gazes towards the two people whose names were called. Ye Beihao was still so calm that no one could tell anything.

As for Chu Yingruo, some people subconsciously retracted their gazes when they noticed her gloomy expression.

Bai Qianyi was pressed by her step by step, and she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes.

"What I said is true, you believe me..."

Bai Qianyi's thoughts raced, and she suddenly thought of something, "I know the person who delivered the imperial edict! He is Eunuch Deyu who is beside His Majesty!"

"Besides, someone must have seen him at the Bai family! Go check it out! And I'm just a weak woman. If it wasn't true, how could I dare to speak so carelessly?"

Bai Qianyi spoke in a decisive tone, with a serious expression.

A crystal drop slid down from the corner of her eye, making her look even more pitiful and extremely aggrieved.

Seeing that what she said was so sincere, everyone's originally firm ideas gradually began to waver.

"What if what she said is true? His Majesty really arranged a marriage for the Third Prince? And the partner is this little concubine's daughter."

"I also think what she said makes sense. She's just a little girl, she shouldn't have the guts to lie, right?"

"That's right! We must have been deceived by Bai Wu Niang. She must have been rejected by the Third Prince and was afraid of being embarrassed so she refused to admit it!"

The more they talked about it, the more they felt that this was right.

Chu Yingruo's face, which had just calmed down a little, turned gloomy again.

Ye Beihao seemed to be thinking about something. He turned to look at Bai Qianxi, with a gentle smile on his face, but with a little scrutiny, "Miss Bai, is what she said true?"

"So what if it's true, so what if it's false?" Bai Qianxi's face was calm, not panicked at all.

"I think she just feels guilty!"

"If this really didn't happen, why doesn't she continue to deny it?"

The people around looked like they were enjoying a good show.

A little concubine's daughter wants to dominate them, without even considering her own status!
Bai Qianyi's face was full of pride, with tears in her eyes. "Fifth sister, mother taught us since we were young that honesty is the best virtue for women. How could you lie to us like this? Apologize to us now!"

"Shouldn't you be the one who should apologize?" Bai Qianxi said in a flat tone.

"What did you say?"

Bai Qianyi looked at Bai Qianxi in disbelief, not understanding why she was still being so stubborn at this time.

Soon, Bai Qianyi's eyes suddenly rolled, she lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, revealing red eyes, "Since you don't want to apologize, let me apologize to everyone on your behalf... It's also my fault, you have been too willful since you were a child..."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and bow to the people around him. "I say, you've really done enough!" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded.

Cheng Shaoyi stood out from the crowd, "Are you still Wu Niang's sister? Who are you showing this to?"

"If you really wanted to do this for Wu Niang's own good, why would you come to the boat party and make such a scene?" Cheng Shaoyi's face was full of dissatisfaction. "Even if this happened, the Third Prince and the Emperor didn't say anything, so what does it have to do with you!"

After Cheng Shaoyi's few words, everyone's gaze towards Bai Qianyi became subtle again.

After saying this, Cheng Shaoyi, regardless of everyone's reactions, pulled Bai Qianxi and was about to leave the place.

"Wait." Bai Qianxi didn't move.

Although she was wearing a veil, her aura was so proud that she looked out of this world. She looked directly at Bai Qianyi and said, "You said that I made the Third Prince angry and he withdrew the imperial edict. Do you think it's so easy to withdraw an imperial edict?"

Bai Qianxi looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone here, who dares to refuse the imperial order? And who dares to say that nothing will happen to them after refusing the imperial order?"

"Even if you are the Second Prince, you probably don't have this certainty." Bai Qianxi looked at Ye Beihao.

He nodded gently, "Yes, if it is the emperor's decree, Your Highness does not have the right to refuse."

"That's good." Bai Qianxi retracted her gaze and looked at everyone, "So, everyone should understand."

"Also, don't forget that His Majesty specially gave me two maids..."

There was no need to say much else, and the people present gradually reacted.

They began to praise Bai Qianxi one after another.

Bai Qianyi was left standing there alone, facing the meaningful looks from the people around her.

How did things turn out like this... She was obviously telling the truth!
Bai Qianyi moved among the crowd with a look filled with hatred, but the person she was looking for had already been pulled away by Cheng Shaoyi.

"Wu Niang, you were so powerful just now. I was afraid of you..." Pulling Bai Qianxi aside, Cheng Shaoyi couldn't help but speak.

"What are you afraid of me for?"

"You're so annoying. You know what I'm talking about." Facing Bai Qianxi's eyes that looked like she was enjoying the show, Cheng Shaoyi couldn't help but cover his face.

She was just afraid that Wu Niang couldn't win the argument with those people, and she was also afraid that the disobedience was true...

"Okay, I didn't mean it." Bai Qianxi apologized.

Cheng Shaoyi didn't blame her in the first place, so he quickly forgave Bai Qianxi. "By the way, what's going on between you and the Third Prince now?"

"Nothing, he and I are just ordinary friends." Bai Qianxi shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Cheng Shaoyi stopped asking and just pointed to the other side, "The scenery over there seems pretty good, let's go take a look."

Bai Qianxi nodded in agreement.

Cheng Shaoyi excitedly pulled Bai Qianyi away. She didn't believe that they were just ordinary friends.

The two gathered together to chat and enjoy the scenery of the lake. Beyond here is the bustling street.

"I heard that a new dim sum restaurant opened nearby..." Cheng Shaoyi was about to speak when she heard a scream from behind her. Before she could turn around, a light green figure fell over.

It was about to be knocked into the river.

This is winter weather, if you really fall down it could be fatal!

Cheng Shaoyi's little face suddenly showed deep fear, but her brain and body could no longer react.

At this moment, a warm hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbed her tightly and pulled her back.

He fell to the ground with a thud, and before Cheng Shaoyi could react to the shock of his life, he heard a louder "plop".
