Chapter 346 - 346: Chu Jinling
“You!”
Noble Consort Xiao withdrew her hand and tapped Chu Jinling’s nose, a flower-like smile overflowing from her lips.
With Chu Jinling being so endearing, she didn’t find Lin Sisi as displeasing anymore.
Lin Sisi saw Noble Consort Xiao smiling at her.
She sighed deeply.
Chu Jinling whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry, my mother is very kind.”
Lin Sisi’s eyes sparkled with sweetness.
Xiao Ruxue’s jealous eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and signaled to the maid beside her, then nudged Lin Sisi.
“Sisi, be careful!”
Chu Jinling embraced Lin Sisi’s waist, pulling her up, and the maid removed Lin Sisi’s veil from her face.
Lin Sisi’s entire face was exposed.
The maid quickly knelt, bowing her head. “I’m sorry, Miss Lin, it was not intentional, 1… Ah!”
She screamed, completely terrified.
Lin Sisi’s face…
“Oh my! Why is her face so ugly!”
“Ah! I’m so scared!”
“Miss Lin, so you wore a veil because your face was injured.” Xiao Ruxue appeared urgently concerned but harbored thick sarcasm in her heart.
“My face… My face!”
Lin Sisi quickly crouched down, holding her head, surrounded by the mockery and screams of everyone. She trembled in fear. “I don’t want this! I don’t want to be scolded! 1 don’t want…”
She broke down in tears.
Chu Jinling helped her pick up the veil and put it back on, holding her tightly. “Sisi, don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, I’m here!”
“My face, my face has been seen! I…”
Lin Sisi’s tears flowed like a stream, her eyes filled with despair and heartbreak after being trampled upon.
Chu Jinling’s heart clenched painfully.
Xiao Ruxue and Madam Xiao exchanged a glance, both looking triumphant.
Xiao Ruxue muttered under her breath, “Ugly freak!”
Even with Chu Jinling protecting her, it couldn’t change the fact of her extreme ugliness!
“Sisi, are you okay?!”
Su Yingxue pushed through the crowd, running to her side.
Lin Sisi buried her head in Chu Jinling’s embrace, crying uncontrollably. “1 don’t want to be here! I want to go home! I want to go home!”
“Okay, I’ll take you home!”
A reddish tinge appeared in Chu Jinling’s eyes, a hint of ferocity.
He glared at the maid who had bumped into Lin Sisi earlier, roaring, “Guards, drag her down and execute her by caning!”
“Cousin, she’s my maid, it was just an accident…”
Xiao Ruxue’s lips quivered. She couldn’t believe Chu Jinling, usually playful and charming, could be so ruthless.
“Do you want to be caned too? Guards, take them all away!”
Chu Jinling thundered.
“Ninth Prince, have mercy! Noble Consort, please have mercy!”
Fearing Xiao Ruxue might also be taken away, Madam Xiao hurriedly knelt, kowtowing to Noble Consort Xiao.
Noble Consort Xiao sat beside Chu Mingyuan, chuckling softly. “Can’t you all hear what my Ling’er said?”
The palace guards dragged Xiao Ruxue’s maid away, and her screams echoed outside the hall.
Chu Jinling glanced at Noble Consort Xiao, who shook her head at him.
He glared coldly at Madam Xiao and Xiao Ruxue. “I’m warning you. Whoever dares to bully Sisi again, 1 don’t care who you are.. 1’11 personally chop off your heads!”
