Chapter 5: A Freckle on the Rear

Shen Feiyan, who had always prided herself on her intelligence, was thoroughly panicked.

Prince Xuan, Mo Jinli, narrowed his eyes slightly. He first glanced at Shen Feiyan crouching on the ground, then at Ye Xiyao whose face was swollen like a pig's head and covered in injuries. He then removed his brocade robe, approached Shen Feiyan, and draped it over her. As he did so, he said, "Sister Xiyao, why are you playing here again? The Hundred Flowers Banquet is about to start. You should prepare yourself now, stop fooling around."

Mo Jinli's performance was impeccable. After speaking, he disdainfully glanced at Ye Xiyao standing nearby before gesturing to his attendants to take Shen Feiyan away.

Shen Feiyan, who was anxious, felt a sudden surge of joy. Ye Xiyao, however, watched coldly with a sharp glint in her eyes.

Ye Xiyao knew that this man didn't truly recognize her. He would have 'identified' anyone crouching there as herself!

After all, compared to the woman on the ground, she, Ye Xiyao, was the one who would lose face and reputation. Therefore, she had to be 'Ye Xiyao', so he could use this as an excuse to rightfully break off their engagement.

Hehe... A clever ploy to confuse the deer for a horse.

It seemed that this man was willing to go to great lengths to end their engagement!

Thinking of this, Ye Xiyao couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She promptly pounced over, grabbed Shen Feiyan, and began to cry out loudly:

"Wah wah... Brother Prince Xuan is mine. Sister Shen, go away, Sister Shen, go away..."

Ye Xiyao's cries were heart-wrenching. Upon hearing the words 'Sister Shen,' the crowd, who had been watching the spectacle, suddenly froze.

In the capital, there were only two individuals who could be referred to as 'Sister Shen': the eldest daughter, Shen Feiyan, and the second daughter, Shen Yunshuang.

Especially Shen Feiyan, not only was she beautiful and refined, she was also a genius with a Fourth Rank talent. As for Shen Yunshuang, though not quite as remarkable as her elder sister, she was still an enchanting beauty. However, no one knew which member of the Shen family this woman before them was...

Thus, the curiosity and gossip flames ignited, drawing everyone's attention to Shen Feiyan, who was being helped up by Mo Jinli. This infuriated Shen Feiyan to the point of almost spitting blood!

But Shen Feiyan didn't dare to speak, let alone refute. She could only hold onto her brocade robe tightly and hurry outside. But how could Ye Xiyao allow her to have her way? With a slight tug, there was a sharp tearing sound as the robe was ripped in half!

Shen Feiyan's bare bottom was immediately exposed to everyone!

"Eh—Sister Shen has a mole on her buttocks, hehe..."

Crying one moment, laughing the next, Ye Xiyao had perfectly mastered the behavior of a foolish lady. Now, anyone with eyes could tell who was who. Following their gazes, they indeed saw a mole on that bare bottom!

And it's red!

A moment of silence followed, then louder laughter erupted. Only Mo Jinli, whose face had been publicly slapped, shot a venomous glance at Ye Xiyao before turning to leave.

All present were from prominent families, and seeing Mo Jinli leave with a cold expression, they quickly grasped the situation. The laughter subsided, and Shen Rujue, who had been observing coldly, stepped forward. He removed his coat and draped it over Shen Feiyan before speaking with a stern face:

"Alright, everyone, disperse. Someone, please escort these two ladies to clean up and summon a royal physician to attend to this young lady's wound."
