Chi Enen calmly apologized and reached out to pull her up, "Sorry, I didn’t an to, I didn’t see you in front, are you okay?"
Scarlett was fuming, wishing she could point at her nose and call her a liar!
They were just talking earlier, how could Chi Enen not have seen her in front?
Chi Enen tripped her on purpose just now!
Yet ironically, she couldn’t say a word of this. It’s not that she didn’t dare to, she just couldn’t! Because saying it would expose her own intention to fra Chi Enen!
However, clearly intending to fake a fall, she actually fell, and her knee was in extre pain. Her heart was filled with anger and frustration, like a mute eating Coptis—bitter and unable to express it!
Although she knew other people were coming over soon and she should endure it, firmly insisting that Chi Enen tripped her on purpose, she was after all quite young and had been doted on since childhood, never having suffered such a loss. Adding to this, Chi Enen calmly ca over to help her up, seemingly truly unintentional, and she was even more furious, losing control of herself. She reached out and slapped away Chi Enen’s hand, "I don’t need your fake kindness!"
Just at that mont, everyone rushed over.
They happened to see her slap Chi Enen’s hand away.
And heard how hard she slapped, the sound echoing from Chi Enen’s hand.
The old butler imdiately put on a stern face, not showing obvious anger, but it was clear that his attitude towards Scarlett beca much more distant. He turned his head and asked, "Miss Chi, what happened?"
He didn’t ask Scarlett first, but directly asked Chi Enen, effectively giving the initiative to Chi Enen.
Chi Enen wasn’t foolish, she spoke apologetically before Scarlett could, "I was just walking behind and didn’t notice that Your Highness had stopped, accidentally tripping Her Highness. Sorry, Your Highness."
Wasn’t this princess claiming that she tripped her on purpose?
If she was going to be blad regardless, why not truly make a move?
At least, it would feel better ntally while taking the bla.
She preemptively defined it as an ’accidental trip’, making it difficult for Scarlett to insist it was intentional! Assisted by two female officers, she stood up, the corner of her mouth twitching, looking at Chi Enen, her eyes full of anger, yet she had to restrain herself, "It’s okay. I just bumped my knee, it’s not a big deal."
Though she said this, everyone else saw the force with which she slapped away Chi Enen’s hand, clearly not matching her current composure.
The servants understood the situation regarding this princess and kept their eyes down, not saying a word.
The old butler already considered Chi Enen as the future Young Lady, essentially as part of the Li family. As the butler of the Li family, seeing his master’s ’bullying’, his attitude naturally wasn’t friendly, he said coldly, "Since Your Highness is injured, it’s better not to stroll around, I’ll help find a doctor for you."
Scarlett’s knee was killing her, yet she had to put on a brave front, "No need, my knee isn’t that serious..."
The two female officers beside her worriedly advised, "Your Highness, please let the doctor take a look."
"Yes, please let the doctor check your knee. If the wound gets infected, it would be bad."
Scarlett reluctantly agreed, "Alright. Thank you for the trouble."
The old butler indifferently said, "It’s my duty, Your Highness."
