Chapter 80: Flattery

Book:The Counterattack of the Princess Published:2024-6-2

As for the so-called explanation, it’s just to make people feel better. But for Concubine De, this is a good chance to save her face.
“After all, it’s between your two families, and it’s not appropriate for me to interfere. In this case, Lady Bai, take your sister back and let Imperial Censor Bai deal with her. I’m tired, and I will leave this to you.” Concubine De rubs her forehead as if she has a headache.
The old housemaid has been serving her for many years. Seeing this, she immediately steps forward and helps Concubine De up. Then they leave without caring other people here.
“Lady Yan, this won’t end so easily. We’ll wait and see.” Receiving the signal of Bai Feifei, Bai says this to Yan Ling and pulls up the kneeling Bai Yiyi to leave.
“Who are they? They don’t want to end it. If it weren’t for Concubine De to protect them, I’m afraid they would take the consequences!” Princess Zhaoyan snorts in disdain and reaches out to help Yan Ling up.
However, before Princess Zhaoyan touches Yan Ling, Liang Yi has already bent down to help Yan Ling up from the ground, because he stands next to her.
Princess Zhaoyan seems to have noticed the big pain in the ass now, and suddenly feels helpless.
Although Princess Zhaoyan said that confidently, she knows that if it weren’t for Liang Yi’s help, it would have been Yan Ling who has to face the music.
But even so, Princess Zhaoyan still doesn’t have the slightest affection for Liang Yi.
Princess Zhaoyan is very clear that if she hasn’t provoked him and made him stand out for Yan Ling on impulse, according to Liang Yi’s personality, he would get involved in anything that has nothing to do with him.
She only feels sick if Liang Yi wants to get close to Yan Ling with the excuse of this favor. However, how could Liang Yi care about this?
In Liang Yi’s heart, he was the only person who stood out to protect Yan Ling when everyone kept silent. Then Yan Ling should be so moved and attracted by him deeply.
Although Yan Ling doesn’t understand why Liang Yi suddenly stood out to help her, she knows it was impossible for Liang Yi to help her sincerely. Even if he offered to help, he must have other purposes.
Under such circumstances, Liang Yi would be completely wrong if he still wants to use the so-called kindness to move Yan Ling, and let her repay his “kindness”.
“Thank you for your help, Your Highness. If there is nothing, Princess Zhaoyan and I will go back first.” As soon as Yan Ling stands up, she avoids Liang Yi’s hand on her arm. Then she steps a few steps back, obviously trying to keep a distance.
Seeing this, Liang Yi is clearly dissatisfied. However, he still shakes the folding fan and pretends to be gentle and doesn’t care her avoidance, “You’re welcome. It’s great that you are Okay.”
“I don’t know if Lady Yan would like to have a cup of tea with me?” Liang Yi asks with a smile.
After all, Liang Yi has just helped Yan Ling. It seems that, no matter what may come, Yan Ling should not refuse his request at this time.
However, Yan Ling is a person who doesn’t play cards according to common sense. Because she hates Liang Yi, so Yan Ling directly refuses.
“I’m really sorry. I’ve made an appointment with Princess Zhaoyan to go out together. I’m afraid I don’t have time to go out with you, Your Highness.” After saying this, Yan Ling leaves with Princess Zhaoyan without caring about Liang Yi’s face.
Looking at Yan Ling who is leaving, Liang Yi cannot suppress his anger. He didn’t expect that Yan Ling embarrasses him after he has done so many things for her.
“Bitch!” Liang Yi roars angrily and kicks over a chair beside him.
Fortunately, there is no one else here. Anyone would be surprised if they see Third Prince behaving like this.
Liang Yi planned to explain to his mother after finishing things with Yan Ling. However, in this situation, Liang Yi’s mood is unstable. If he goes to Concubine De, he will be more upset. After a little thinking, he makes a decision.
Liang Yi stays here alone for a while. After he calms down a little, he walks out without looking back.
However, it seems Liang Yi is doomed today. Without walking a few steps, he is stopped by Bai Xueying who is waiting for him outside.
Seeing this woman, Liang Yi immediately thinks of what happened just now. He feels like a fool, and the anger he forced down in his heart surges up again.
“What do you want?” Liang Yi says with great dissatisfaction with a black face.
Bai Xueying did not leave, but has listened to the conversation between Yan Ling and the Third Prince secretly outside the room. Now she knows more or less why Liang Yi is so angry that he has lost the image that he values in his daily life.
If it were someone else, they would try to avoid. But Bai Xueying, a second daughter, has similar status with the first daughter, and of course, she plans a lot.
Bai Xueying is a person who always wants to climb up. In this case, she will not give up any chance.
It was her plan to instigate Bai Yiyi and frame Yan Ling. And now it is the same that she wants to take this opportunity to befriend the Third Prince,
According to Bai Xueying’s original plan, the Third Prince must be very angry now for being rejected by Yan Ling. And naturally, he is also extremely dissatisfied with Yan Ling. As long as she takes this opportunity to comfort the Third Prince, and then says something bad about Yan Ling, then she can successfully make the Third Prince feel good about her.
It would be easy if things can be done so smoothly. But Bai Xueying didn’t expect that Liang Yi’s anger has exceeded her imagination.
As a result, Liang Yi is discontent to see her, let alone have a favorable impression of him, which is unrealistic.
“I’ve heard everything inside just now. You don’t need to be upset about it, Your Highness. That woman is ungrateful even though you have helped her so much. She really doesn’t know chalk from cheese.” Bai Xueying bites her lip and pretends to feel unfair for Liang Yi.
Hearing Bai Xueying’s words, Liang Yi’s face turns black immediately. Naturally, Liang Yi doesn’t want anyone to know such an embarrassing thing. However, Bai Xueying was eavesdropping outside and said it right in front of him. How could he not be angry?
