Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

71 Bite Back

Tears sprang to her eyes and poured down her cheeks.

Yu Pingping cried until she was out of breath. She wanted to curse, but her sister covered her mouth.

Yu Niaoniao asked in concern, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Does your body hurt somewhere?”

Yu Pingping glared at her with tears in her eyes.

How dare she ask? She was clearly the culprit!

Yu Niaoniao said, “You must have been injured by them during the fight just now. They were too ruthless. Did they actually beat you up like this? Even if their fathers are important ministers of the Imperial Court, they can’t be so lawless!”

She spoke with righteous indignation. She radiated the glory of the righteous.

If the person she had choked to tears was not Yu Pingping, even Yu Pingping would probably believe her nonsense.

Wan Jiatong subconsciously denied it.

“It wasn’t me. I didn’t hit her.”

Yu Niaoniao immediately asked, “Do you dare to swear? If you hit my sister just now, your entire family will die! Do you dare?”

Wan Jiatong was instantly speechless.

The battle just now was very chaotic. She could not tell who she had hit at all, so she naturally did not dare to swear on the lives of her entire family.

Ji Wenjing tried to distinguish for herself.

“I only hit her twice, but it wasn’t hard. I couldn’t really hurt her. Instead, she hit me as soon as she walked in...”

Yu Niaoniao interrupted her, her tone extremely angry.

“The three of you teamed up to bully my sister alone, and you still have the cheek to bite back?”

Then, she looked at the crowd outside the door.

“Look, my sister is crying so badly. If it weren’t for the fact that her body is really hurting, would she, the daughter of an official, cry like this in front of outsiders?!”

Yu Pingping’s eyes filled with tears.

At this moment, she understood her sister’s intentions. As she scolded her sister in her heart, she worked hard to cooperate with the performance and cried miserably.

Seeing a young girl crying so miserably, the onlookers outside the door could not help but pity her.

“She’s crying like a baby. She must be hurt. Let’s get her a doctor.”

“Poor little girl. She was beaten to a pulp.”

“I didn’t expect those three girls to be so ruthless when they looked so refined.”

“I heard that their biological fathers are all officials. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Is that all the upbringing of an official’s family?”

The words of discussion reached their ears.

Yang Xianrong, Ji Wenjing, and Wan Jiatong’s faces turned red and their bodies trembled in anger. They wanted to explain, but they could not speak. They were about to die of grievance.

Seeing that Yu Niaoniao was almost done performing, Xiao Juan spoke unhurriedly.

“Send Miss Yang, Miss Ji, and Miss Wan home.”

Yang Xianrong, Ji Wenjing, and Wan Jiatong thought that this matter had come to an end and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they heard Duke Lang speak again.

“I will report this matter to the emperor. As court officials, how can Sir Yang, Sir Ji, and Sir Wan help the emperor govern the people in the future if they can’t even discipline their daughters?”

Every word was piercingly cold, and when it entered the ears of Yang Xianrong, Ji Wenjing, and Wan Jiatong, they instantly blacked out and almost fainted.

If word got out to the emperor, not only would their reputation be ruined, but even their father would be left with an impression of incompetence.
