Chapter 18: Confrontation in the Courtyard

Confrontation in the Courtyard

Tall and slender, dressed in fine silk robes, Yin Fengxuan's appearance was somewhat similar to Yin Fengzhan's. However, compared to Yin Fengzhan's coldness and composure, Yin Fengxuan was much more volatile, even possessing a slight air of street-level ruffianism.

At this moment, Yin Fengxuan was shouting as he walked through the moon gate. Then, seeing the dense crowd of people, he was momentarily stunned.

"Eh... what's going on? It's early in the morning... Aunt Wu? What are you..."

Yin Fengxuan was no stranger to Aunt Wu. Seeing the situation before him, his expression changed instantly, and he took several large strides forward.

"Hey! What kind of trouble are you making again, woman? I'm telling you, stop playing your tricks here. This Chen Wangfu is not managed by you, you'd better be smart!"

Yin Fengxuan was well aware of Nie Jinxuan's usual arrogance and domineering nature. So, seeing the scene in the courtyard, he instinctively assumed that Nie Jinxuan was throwing a tantrum and giving Aunt Wu and Han Luoxue a hard time.

Yin Fengxuan was not one to hold back his temper. While shouting, he stepped forward and pulled Han Luoxue from Nie Jinxuan's side to behind him.

The air was filled with the scent of gunpowder. At this moment, Nie Jinxuan, sitting in her seat, lifted her eyes to look at Han Luoxue, who was being protected behind Yin Fengxuan, and then her gaze shifted instantly.

"Be smart? Prince Gong, are you..."

"What is going on?"

Yin Fengzhan had arrived. Interrupting Nie Jinxuan's words, Yin Fengzhan stepped over the moon gate and walked over. In an instant, everyone present was startled. When they saw it was Yin Fengzhan, Yin Fengxuan, who had been glaring at Nie Jinxuan, felt his eyes light up, and he turned to run toward him.

"Fourth Brother, you've come at the right time. This woman is playing her tricks again. She won't let anyone have peace early in the morning! And this time it's even more excessive; she hasn't even spared Aunt Wu and Sister-in-law. You must not let her off lightly this time!"

In front of everyone, Yin Fengxuan loudly accused Nie Jinxuan. Yin Fengzhan glanced at Aunt Wu, who was bowing her head, and Han Luoxue, who wore a look of grievance, then looked straight at Nie Jinxuan.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Yin Fengzhan questioned in a low voice, his handsome, peerless face remaining cold. However, upon hearing this, Nie Jinxuan merely looked straight at him, pursing her lips without a word.

Nie Jinxuan remained silent, and the courtyard fell into a deathly silence again. Seeing this, Yin Fengxuan, standing to the side, couldn't hold back. But just as he was about to say something, Nie Jinxuan, sitting in her seat, suddenly curled her lips into a faint smile.

"Say? Heh... what does the Prince want me to say? Even if I said it, would the Prince believe me?"

Nie Jinxuan's smile did not reach her eyes. Upon hearing this, before Yin Fengzhan could speak, Yin Fengxuan jumped up from the side.

"What? What do you mean, woman? Are you saying I would slander you?"

"Prince Gong, your words are heavy. But whether Prince Gong has slandered me or not, Prince Gong should know that himself!"

Looking directly at Yin Fengxuan, Nie Jinxuan stood up from her seat and walked over step by step.

"Why? Did I say something wrong? Just now, after Prince Gong arrived, you spoke without a word, declaring that I was bullying people. But may I ask, Prince Gong, have you ever seen me, Nie Jinxuan, bullying anyone?"

After walking a few steps to stand before Yin Fengxuan, Nie Jinxuan pursed her lips in a smile, then lifted her eyes to meet Yin Fengxuan's gaze.

"Speak. Did Prince Gong hear me scolding someone? Or did you see me hitting someone?... What, you don't know? If Prince Gong doesn't know, why not ask Aunt Wu and Secondary Consort Han to see if it is truly I, Nie Jinxuan, who is bullying servants and playing tricks, or if certain people are jumping to conclusions and spouting nonsense!" ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
