529 I Just Want to Bully Her, It’s Not That I’m Targeting You

Lord Cui frowned and his lips trembled. He was speechless for a long time.

The head constable didn’t waste his breath on him. He waved his hand to signal for the constables to arrest Young Miss Cui!

Cui Yutong was grabbed from both sides and could no longer hide the fear on her face.

“Father! Save me! I don’t want to see Her Highness. She’ll kill me! Father—!”

Lord Cui watched helplessly as Cui Yutong was taken away. His expression was anxious, but he could not say anything to stop the constables!

This was all because she had offended the little princess!

Everyone in Great Qi knew that Princess Yaoguang was His Majesty’s treasure!

Anyone who touched her would lose their head!

Madam Cui paced back and forth anxiously. “Master, what should we do?”

“What should we do? It’s all your good daughter’s fault! It’s fine if she’s usually spoiled and domineering in the manor, but why is she still like this when she goes out?! Now, she has offended Her Highness!”

Lord Cui lectured Madam Cui, and the couple looked miserable.

In the end, Lord Cui forced himself to remain calm and instructed the butler, “Prepare the carriage. I’ll go plead for leniency! Also, Madam, prepare more silver. I’ll bring them along!”

Lord Cui’s youngest son hurriedly grabbed his sleeve. “Father, can we write to Aunt? She’s a consort in the palace, so she might be able to help us!”

Lord Cui had a younger sister who was Consort Rou in the palace.

However, it had been almost 12 years since she entered the palace, but there were no signs of her getting pregnant.

She hadn’t even given birth to a prince, let alone a little princess!

Lord Cui had a headache. His son was really young and naive!

“Look for her? I’m afraid your older sister will be dead by then!”

…

The constables did not show any mercy when they threw Cui Yutong in front of Gu Nuo’er.

“Ouch!” Cui Yutong lay in front of Gu Nuo’er’s embroidered shoes and cried out in pain.

Gu Nuo’er was swinging her feet.

She had just eaten and drank her fill, and seemed to be in a good mood. Her pearl-like eyes were sparkling.

The moment Cui Yutong saw her, she could not help but tremble like a mouse that had seen a cat.

Gu Nuo’er smiled. “Older Sister Cui, we meet again. Turn around and take a look if you know these two people.”

Cui Yutong turned her head shakily. She only took a glance before quickly retracting her gaze.

How could she not know them?

These were the two idiots she had asked her maids to find in their manor!

They didn’t even know how to frame someone and even caused her to be discovered by Her Highness.

Cui Yutong quibbled with a sobbing tone, “Your Highness, please make a wise judgment. I don’t know them at all.”

The head constable at the side interrupted, “Really? Young Miss Cui, do you want to take a closer look? We’ve just checked their identities. They’re servants of the Cui Family. Moreover, two days ago, someone saw your personal maid meeting them!”

Gu Nuo’er raised her thin eyebrows, making her look even more lively.

She was calm and composed as if she was waiting for Cui Yutong to give her next argument.

Unfortunately, Cui Yutong had already been slightly traumatized by Gu Nuo’er last time.

Cui Yutong looked up from the corner of her eye and saw Marquis Yongye behind Her Highness, his gaze like cold blades. She then thought of the rumors of him being able to kill without batting an eyelid.

Cui Yutong was so frightened that she cried. “Your Highness, please spare me this time. I won’t dare to do it again! Previously, I hated your accountant for being disrespectful to me, so I thought of a bad plan to mess with her. I definitely wasn’t targeting you! Please, Her Highness, let me off!”

When the surrounding citizens heard this, they immediately burst into an uproar and pointed at Cui Yutong—

“She’s a young lady from a wealthy family, yet her methods are really dirty!”

“That’s right. She bribed someone to ruin a young lady’s innocence. If it weren’t for Her Highness’ timely arrival, I’m afraid this young female accountant wouldn’t be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the river!”
