The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

Yun Zhi still didn't want to retreat, so she blocked the door and said, "Master, please trust this servant. No one else will come into the Miss's yard."

When Mrs Zhao saw the expression on Yun Zhi's face, she was even more sure that Zhao Anyi had gotten his hands on her. She shouted, "Since no one is going in, why don't you let them search? If something were to happen to the young miss, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to pay for it! "

Yun Zhi took half a step back as if she wanted to retreat, but she kept saying, "Madam!" This courtyard really cannot be entered right now! "

A trace of complacency flashed in Mrs Zhao's eyes. She was the first to step into the courtyard, not waiting for the others.

The next moment, after a few air-piercing sounds were heard, Mrs Zhao's bloodcurdling scream resounded throughout the entire Prime Minister's Estate.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Xue Duan Sheng looked at the Zhao Clan with several iron pieces pierced into their legs, and he was extremely terrified in his heart. Afraid that he would be injured as well, he repeatedly took a few steps back, and as he retreated, he felt something collide with the back of his head.

Instinctively, he turned his head and saw an upside-down face.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Xue Duan Sheng was so frightened that he fell on his butt on the ground and pointed in the direction of earlier, unable to speak for a long time.

Only when a bold woman raised a lantern to take a closer look did the crowd realize that there were two people hanging from a tree outside the gates of the academy. Because of the angle, they hadn't even noticed it earlier.

One was a servant girl from the estate, and the other was a distant relative of the Zhao Clan who'd just come today, not some monster or snake. Xue Duan Sheng quickly recovered his composure and stood properly under the support of the servant girl before asking in embarrassment and rage, "What the hell is going on?"

With a squeak, the door was pushed open.

The fox fur wearing Xue Ruyun slowly walked out of the moonlight. Under the snow-white fur of the fox fur, his appearance was even more picturesque, like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

"It's so lively. Did something happen?" Xue Ruyun smiled sweetly, as if he didn't know anything.

Madame Zhao's legs bled a lot and she was sitting on the ground groaning. When she saw that Xue Ruoyun had come out, she pointed at her and yelled, "Xue Ruyun, you vicious unfilial daughter! I treat you as if you were my own, and when I heard that you sent someone to save you the moment you were in trouble, it's fine if you don't feel grateful, but you still want to kill me! Old master, you must avenge me! "

Xue Ruyun earnestly admired Mrs Zhao's bloodied legs and her current shrewish appearance. Only then did he tilt his head and ask Yun Zhi, who was standing beside her, "Didn't I tell you not to let anyone else in?"

Yun Zhi coordinated, and said with a wronged face, "I held them back and told them not to enter the courtyard. But the Madam refused to listen. The other people in the courtyard didn't know how to help either. This servant is just one person, how can I stop her? "

Hearing this, the other maidservants' expressions changed.

They were all people of the Zhao Family and didn't know about the trap in the yard. Of course, they didn't stop them. Now that Yun Zhi said this, they didn't help their master look after the yard or remind the Zhao Family.

Xue Duan Sheng pointed at the metal sheet on Madame Zhao's leg and angrily rebuked. "A nice courtyard, why are you putting these things in?"

"My daughter saw that the guards of our Prime Minister's residence were all loose and that an outsider was loitering in the backyard during the day. She had set up a trap in her courtyard to prevent thieves from entering. How could I have known that Mother would barge into my courtyard in the middle of the night without listening to my advice? " Xue Ruyun spoke with innocence, but his expression was filled with schadenfreude.

Mrs Zhao was in so much pain that she didn't even know that her nephew and servant had been saved by someone from a tree. She laid behind her and gritted her teeth as she said, "I was careless earlier and fell into your trap. What if the thief had seen through your trick and had hidden inside your house? "

Regardless of whether Zhao Anyun had succeeded or not, she still insisted that if someone had entered the room, then this little slut, Xue Luoyun, would not be able to obtain any reputation!

Xue Ruyun took a step to the side, letting the door open. "Then mother will try it, see if anyone can enter my courtyard?"

Mrs Zhao immediately commanded the servants beside her, "You guys go in and search!"

The servants had just seen the mechanisms in Xue Muyun's courtyard, so how could they dare to enter? They were all pushing and shoving at each other, and none of them were willing to step forward.

Xue Ruyun's eyes curved into a smile as she looked at her body's father, Xue Duan Sheng. Her tone was full of undisguised ridicule. "What does father think?"

Xue Duan Sheng looked at this eldest daughter that he hadn't seen for a long time. In a trance, he seemed to have seen his original wife, the Han Clan.

Back then, when he married the famous Han Family, he was admired by countless people both publicly and secretly. He truly did love the Han Family for a period of time, and when the Han Family was destroyed, he added insult to injury. After the Han family knew that they didn't want to see her again, they just happened to see her sneering at them.

Looking at Xue Luoyun who looked exactly the same as the Han Family, and thinking back to how he was scared into a sorry state earlier, Xue Duan Sheng's eyebrows shot up angrily. He pointed at the two unconscious people and asked, "You're a good and good girl, but you actually know how to play with unconventional things. Hurry up and remove all the mess in your yard! "

Xue Ruyun grinned. "No!"

"What, what did you say?" Xue Duan Sheng had a face full of disbelief. Even though this eldest daughter was domineering, he was still obedient when facing him. Now he actually even dared disobey his words?

Xue Ruyun's smile was brilliant, and his tone was filled with disdain. "If you remove the trap and let this group of people search around my courtyard, will you ruin my innocence? I'm not stupid, why should I listen to you? "

"I'm your father!"

"I'm still your daughter!"

Xue Duan Sheng glared at Xue Ruyun for a long time, then sighed with an appearance of being completely disappointed in her. He pointed at the two people behind him and asked, "Then tell me, what's with these two people? Why are you tied to a tree in front of your courtyard? "

"Aiyo?" There are two other people? " Xue Ruyun pretended to be surprised. "It looks like there are quite a few people who came to my courtyard tonight." Father asked the wrong person. If I remember correctly, she was served by my mother, right? What's his name? "

Yun Zhi reminded, "Cai Feng."

"Oh, that's right, Cai Feng." Xue Luoyun nodded. "Mother is planning to have your personal maid bring Zhao Anshi to where?"

When Madam Zhao saw her nephew and maidservants, she broke out in a cold sweat. She knew that her plan for tonight had completely failed and only hoped that she wouldn't involve herself in it. "Her legs are on her body. How would I know what she did behind my back?"

Xue Ruoyun shook his head, and his smile became even wider, "If there wasn't no one guarding the backyard, even if Cai Feng wanted to do something, she wouldn't have had the chance, right? Mother's habit of letting the night watchmen rest from time to time was truly frightening. Father, are you right? "
