But this year, Feng Ye obviously wanted to challenge this Brother Wang. He hadn't even arrived at the hunting grounds when he began to publicly post his challenge. When the carriages passing by heard that the eighth prince had sent a challenge to the fourth prince, they couldn't help but all open the curtains of the carriages to take a look.

"The eighth brother's archery skills are the most outstanding amongst all the brothers. Even father is praising it. As your brother, I will naturally admit defeat." Feng Qianyue was forced to retract his gaze and allow Lian Yue's carriage to pass by him as well. Beneath the axle, there were still confectioners' dregs inside. The creaking sound of the axle turning was especially ear-piercing.

"Why are you being too modest, Fourth Prince? If you're a man, show us your true abilities. It would be better if we had a fair and square competition, rather than trying your best in the dark, wouldn't it?" A faint smile appeared on Feng Ye's face as he spoke.

Feng Qianyue tightened his grip on the reins, but his expression remained the same. He revealed a flawless smile and said:

"Since eighth brother has said so, then let's meet on the hunting grounds." An undercurrent flowed between the two of them.

"Alright, it's a deal then. See you at the paddock!" Feng Ye gave Feng Qianyue another deep look before urging his horse to leave, and he sprinted towards the direction of Lian Yue's carriage.

Feng Qian saw that Lian Ru Yue had lifted the curtain of the carriage to talk to Feng Ye. It was unknown what Feng Ye had said, but Lian Ru Yue's face easily revealed a smile that he had never seen before. The haze in his eyes grew even darker …

Lian Ruyue, since this is the case, I can't let you off! In this hunt, I must request royal father to grant me a marriage!

"Your Highness …" Feng Qianyue returned to his senses, and his face returned to his usual expression.

The carriage only arrived after a long time on the way, and when Lian Yue was about to fall asleep, a charming and beautiful voice came from outside.

"Eighth Prince, you finally came?"

Lian Rou stood in front of Feng Ye's horse and raised her head to look at the man on the horse. Her eyes were filled with adoration.

This time, there was another person by her side — her big brother, Xiao Zhenhai's eldest son, and the capital's famous scholar — Xiao Shan.

Feng Ye dismounted, handed the horsewhip to the servants beside him, and said something to the Xiao siblings. Xiao Shan turned his head and his gaze landed on Lian Ru Yue. His lips clearly carried a trace of a warning cold smile.

Lian Ru Yue merely curled her lips when she received this laughter that contained an attack. Her gaze swept past like a dragonfly touching the water. She did not take Xiao Shan's provocation to heart.

"…" Seeing her reaction, Xiao Shan was even more certain of what his aunt had said. He was so arrogant and wanted to teach her a lesson.

"Eldest Miss, our tent is over there." Qing Dai softly said as she got off the carriage with one of her subordinates.

Lian Yue glanced over and saw that many tents had been set up on the outside of the hunting grounds. Many officials and family members who had just arrived were coming down from the carriages, finding their own tents in succession and taking the belongings inside. It was a bustling scene and she also saw Liu Xi Man's figure.

The princes' tents were arranged to the east, and each tent had a banner hanging outside. The banner read "Heng, Yue, Xun", and other words, indicating the name of each prince. The rustling sound of the wind came from the tents, and their imposing auras were majestic.

The ninth prince's tent, Feng Yunzheng's, was also there. The word 'constant' was his. But right now, only his tent was empty. Obviously, he hadn't arrived yet.

"Bring the items in first." Lian Ru Yue withdrew her gaze and ordered. Then, she walked into her own tent with the maids. The carriage was then led away by the person in charge.

"Lian Ruyue, stop right there!"

Just as the tent was opened by the daisies and the incense, and she was bending over to enter, a delicate voice called out from behind. She frowned and turned around.

Xiao Rou had both her hands on her hips as she stood there with an imposing manner, as though she wanted to settle the score with him.

"Miss Xiao, why have you come looking for me?"

"Humph!" Xiao Rou coldly snorted as she walked over and said, "Stop pretending. Don't you know why I've come to find you? "You have made my aunt and cousin Ya'er so miserable, yet you came here to participate in the hunt so brightly and beautifully, and even made eye contact with the princes and princes, just like a dishonest person. You are really too shameless, too vicious, this is just a hunting event, and you came here alone in order to not let your third cousin appear. Do you need to be so heartless? Today, I am going to teach you a lesson on behalf of my aunt and cousin …"

As Xiao Rou spoke, she bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she pounced towards Lian Yue. Her speech and demeanor did not have the slightest trace of that of a lady from a noble family.

"Don't provoke Eldest Miss!" At this moment, Leng Mei, who had been silent at the side, took a step forward and placed her hands in front of Xiao Rou, stopping her from continuing to approach Lian Ru Yue. This prevented her from being able to stay one meter away from Lian Ru Yue.

Xiao Rou was startled by the sudden appearance of this person. She couldn't help but be intimidated by her killing intent. The coldness in her eyes made her afraid. She couldn't help but take a step back and swallow her saliva.

"You! Who are you? You dare to block my path? Do you not want to live? I'll slap you twice!" As Xiao Rou said that, she raised her hand and viciously slapped Green Branch's face. Green Branch's hands were quick. He tilted his head and quickly pinched her wrist with his hand — —

"Ah, it hurts …" The green branch had only used 10% of its strength, so how could Xiao Rou, who was usually pampered, endure it? She almost knelt down from the pain as tears welled in her eyes. "Let go! Let go! Lian Ruyue, quickly tell this dog slave to stop …"

Lian Ru Yue coldly looked at her and said — —

"Xiao Rou, clean your mouth. There's no one around. I can't guarantee that your hand won't break."

Xiao Rou felt a cold wind blow past her, causing her entire body to shiver. She did indeed take advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to her, but unexpectedly, she was able to see through this point.

"You, you dare … Ah …" She originally wanted to force herself, but she felt that her wrist was becoming more and more painful, as if it was about to be broken. She could only change her words and say, "Shoo! Tell your servant girl to stop. Hurry up and stop."

However, Lian Ruyue did not stop Leng Mei, saying, "You seem to have come to seek justice for Auntie Xiao and Third Sister."

"No, that's right!" Cold sweat dripped down from Xiao Rou's forehead. "You framed them, so I'm here to seek an explanation. My aunt is a direct descendent of our Xiao family. You bullying her is equivalent to bullying our Xiao family. The Xiao family can't be bullied by you for nothing."

"Looks like you don't know what happened." Third sister has been with her for a long time, so she's been haunted by ghosts and blabbering nonsense all day. For such a shameful thing, my grandmother and father have thought of a way to hide it from the public. They are afraid that in the future, third sister will not dare to approach them like a god of pests, are you sure you want to seek justice with me and then make this matter public? "
