"If he dares to do this, we won't let him off; let's draft The Petition of the People and go to the Emperor to file a complaint."
"Yes, accuse him, for offending the War Prince's woman; what does it matter if he's a Prince."
As the discussion continued, everyone grew hotter in anger, all rallying indignantly around the War Prince, seemingly forgetting that Xuexue was the real victim. But, for Xuexue, none of this mattered as her goal had been achieved.
Zi Xia saw the young lady's moves with utter clarity and instantly understood her intentions, thus yelling loudly while charging forward...
"You scoundrel, let go of our young lady imdiately."
The Fourth Prince never imagined that Xuexue would pull such a trick. By the ti he reacted, he tried to push Xuexue away, but it was all too late, her cries had already drawn everyone's attention.
Faced with everyone's reproach, the Fourth Prince was furious, forcefully shoving Xuexue aside.
Xuexue staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Zi Xia rushed over, quickly helping her up, anxiously saying, "Young lady, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"
Xuexue covered her face with both hands, sobbing miserably, appearing as if she'd been humiliated.
The Fourth Prince's eyes widened in anger: "You wench, why do you want to fra ?"
Xuexue put down her hands, her face full of tears, crying while sorrowfully saying, "Fourth Prince, what are you saying? This humble servant doesn't understand."
The Fourth Prince's anger erupted, practically steaming from his head: "You wench, still pretending? You clearly frad this Prince, accusing this Prince of indecency?"
Xuexue suddenly jumped up in a panic, shouting at the Fourth Prince: "You... you... don't touch , go away... go away."
Zi Xia also cried out to the Fourth Prince: "Fourth Prince, I beg you, spare our young lady. There are so many noble ladies in the Capital, go find soone else, I beg you, don't disturb our young lady."
The two masters and servants hugged each other, crying bitterly.
The sight of Xuexue and her servant made it obvious they were overly frightened, causing everyone to be even more displeased with the Fourth Prince, beginning to murmur...
"For sha, he is still a Prince of the current dynasty, yet harassing a married woman on the street."
"Exactly, Madam Situ is still a lady of the War Prince's household, and the War Prince is a hero of Moli Country; the Fourth Prince is going too far doing this."
"Yes, it is indeed too much. Let's find a Scholar to draft The Petition of the People, and go to the Emperor to accuse him. It's too excessive, daring to bully the War Prince's woman, even if others agree, I will not."
"Right right right, we do not agree, do not agree."
The crowd grew increasingly furious, everyone pointing fingers at the Fourth Prince, angrily scolding him.
The Fourth Prince's expression was extrely unpleasant, he fiercely glared at Situtu Xueer, all because of this vile woman, he had fallen into this predicant. If these Unruly People really drafted The Petition of the People, his imperial father, pressured, would definitely punish him. Given that after his physical impairnt, his imperial father was already quite distant, if this matter were to be brought to the Golden Throne Hall, his imperial father would surely detest him further. Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince decided to swallow this bitter pill.
"Madam Situ, this Prince drank a little wine earlier and was feeling dizzy, mistaking madam for Miss Cheng from Qinger Building, thus causing offense. I humbly request madam to be magnanimous and forgive once, I promise not to offend again." The Fourth Prince lowered his proud head, though from his tone, Xuexue could still discern his gnashing teeth.
Indeed, being frad and having to admit fault, it's hard for anyone to swallow, especially since the Fourth Prince himself was inherently a narrow-minded person.
