Chapter 30: Princess Anyang (2/2)
It was out of Anyang’s expectation that Luoxia was actually like a mad dog, framing others up randomly.
An Rushuang didn’t want to hide it from Anyang. Though most of the ladies were her friends, Anyang would surely not be silly enough to find fault with them at the entrance of her palace.
Hearing An Rushuang reveal everything peacefully, Luoxia, frowning lightly, was a little upset.
According to her expectation, while the ladies made denial in urgency, she would take the chance to put the blame on Chang Sheng who was too honest to tell a lie. Once Princess Anyang knew what Lu Mingyue said then, the “mistake” she made would be reasonable.
However, to Luoxia’s surprise, the ladies actually admitted calmly Lu Mingyue did say something inappropriate. All of these made Luoxia wordless in panic.
As soon as An Rushuang finished speaking, Princess Anyang fixed her eyes on this lady. She, with her hair worn in two S-shape knots and clad in silky pleated skirt whose color was the same as the clouds in the water mist, was such an elegant girl but not the most beautiful one among the three. However, with her speech rate being slow enough to form a unique rhythm, her bearing and demeanor was even more graceful than the madams at the royal palace.
The most attractive part was her eyes.
It was a pair of glamorous eyes, not only as soft as the rippling water, but also as bright and tough as the twinkling stars at the night. Maybe it was Princess Anyang’s illusion that every time she met An Rushuang’s eyes, she would think of her mother’s eyes filled with pity and unwillingness.
“Okay,” Princess Anyang, whose heart seemed to be touched by something, said subconsciously.
A maid in green standing beside Princess Anyang stepped toward Chang Sheng and said, “You tell her grace what happened on earth.”
Following her order, Chang Sheng came over in a hurry and knelt down before Princess Anyang. “My respect to Your Grace. Since I have always been guarding the entrance, I, to some degree, have a general knowledge of the whole thing.”
No sooner than he finished speaking, Luoxia glanced at him in sorrow. He, though, let out a sigh silently, still decided to tell the truth. “It was Luoxia who refused to let the ladies in first. Miss Lu’s inappropriate words, as I see it, should be out of anger...”
“No! It’s not like that!” Luoxia, kneeling before Princess Anyang, implored urgently, “Your Grace, it’s not my fault. I refused to admit them because Miss Lu humiliated you first... Ah! I knew. There must be someone bribing Chang Sheng and asking him to frame me up! I am innocent...”
Princess Anyang glanced at Luoxia while lowering her head. “Qing Lu, slap her,” she made the order slowly.
