Song Qingying softly said, "But cousin, what you said isn’t quite right."

"Playing hide and seek in the garden, you didn’t actually see if they were really playing."

"If they accidentally broke the White Jade Guanyin while roughhousing, it’s indeed possible."

The Heir Ming Yang slightly furrowed his brows.

He said, "I don’t think Miss Jing is that kind of person."

She looks like she can’t wait to disassociate from his family.

Upon seeing him, she runs far away.

Feng Fuce looked at him with a cold gaze.

Perhaps Wei Mingyang also found that his previous words were somewhat odd.

So he quickly added, "Qing Rui is also not someone who wouldn’t admit to doing something wrong."

Song Qingying’s eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy.

Even at this moment, Ming Yang is still speaking for her sister!

Prince Li Zheng let out a cold laugh: "Then, it’s true that someone saw you entering the garden."

Wei Mingyang was a bit anxious.

He clearly wanted to help clarify things; why did it get messier the more he spoke?

Suddenly.

A charming voice interrupted—

"Alright, alright, no need to hide it, actually, Miss Jing was with me."

Even Prince Li Zheng was a bit stunned.

How did another person suddenly appear?

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a young woman in a peony-colored dress, followed by a group of servants, walking over.

Someone whispered—

"That’s Princess Dewan of Yan Country, the future wife of Heir Ming Yang!"

"So she’s Dewan. Her title is so serene, but I’ve heard of her spirited exploits!"

Bai Zhi’er, listening to their conversation, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the girl walking over seemed to be Yuan Ruxin, whom she knew in her childhood!

Yuan Ruxin was also very excited!

She had just been sitting in the pavilion when she heard the commotion here.

Out of curiosity, she asked someone to open a corner of the curtain to spy.

She didn’t expect to see a face that was so familiar!

Bai Zhi’er looked a bit different from when she was young, but not much, just more beautiful and charming now!

Yuan Ruxin couldn’t believe her eyes and only came over to recognize after confirming for a long time!

She must be Bai Zhi’er.

Because apart from Princess Cui Cuo, no one dares to stand up to nobility in public.

Such courage—there’s no second person like Bai Zhi’er.

Yuan Ruxin nearly hiked up her skirt to run to Bai Zhi’er and then stretched out her arms, hugging her tightly.

She gave a bear hug in public.

Yuan Ruxin whispered excitedly, "Master! It’s so good to see you here!"

Bai Zhi’er quickly pulled her away, utterly confused.

When did she ever agree to take Yuan Ruxin as a disciple!

Yuan Ruxin dominantly pulled her behind her.

The master’s affairs are her affairs!

She turned her head slightly and said in a low voice, "Master, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, you’ll be fine!"

Bai Zhi’er pressed her brow.

She wasn’t scared at all!

Prince Li Zheng squinted his eyes: "Ruxin, what’s going on here?"

Yuan Ruxin looked at Prince Li Zheng and said, "Uncle, Miss Jing is actually my old friend."

"I knew she’d be here today, so I invited her for a chat; we were just walking together in the garden earlier."

"My maids can all testify, so she certainly isn’t the one who broke the White Jade Guanyin."

The complexion of Prince Li Zheng was somewhat strained.

It was one thing for his son to come out and testify.

But even Princess Dewan was doing the same.

This matter seemed like it was going to be swept under the rug.

Prince Li Zheng closed his eyes, calming the discontent in his heart.

"Since that’s the case, then it appears I was indeed mistaken."
