The sixth princess crumbled to the ground, shaking badly and appearing extremely pitiful.
That tear stricken face made the surrounding guards who were watching feel moved.
However, Di Cang remained poker-faced and actually looked down on the young maiden, who had crumbled to the ground before him. He was like an emperor who controlled life and death, with a single gesture able to determine one’s life and death.
“Marquis…”
The guard saw Di Cang’s expression darkening and his heart immediately thumped. He stood up from the ground with shaking legs as he stumbled over to the sixth princess’ side.
“Your Highness, princess, please forgive me.”
After he finished speaking, the guard immediately took out his sword. That cold shoulder made the sixth princess panic from the bottom of her heart.
“You dog of a slave. How dare you touch me!”
Before Di Cang, the sixth princess was so terrified that she could not say a word. However, this dog of a slave was one that was bestowed by Imperial Father to Marquis Cang. What rights did he have to attack his own master?
“Princess, I also do not wish for this to happen, but offending the marquis is more terrifying than death itself.”
“You…”
The sixth princess wanted to retort in anger, but noticed a gloomy, cold oppression suppressing her body, making her unable to move, as if she was being squashed under a huge mountain.
“Ah!”
Just as the guard’s blade was about to cut the sixth princess’ finger, the sixth princess shrieked and her body fell over. She was directly shocked till she lost consciousness.
Beneath her body was a pool of urine, reeking of a sour, foul odor. 1
The guard was stunned. The sixth princess was actually so shocked that she lost consciousness. Then, was he to continue or not?
Thinking about this, the guard was about to seek Di Cang’s opinion but all he saw was that the purple-robed, silver-haired handsome man had already left unknowingly.
The gentle breeze blew past, and only the cool wind stimulated their minds.
“Then, what should we do now?” another guard asked worriedly as he stood back up.
“Throw out the sixth princess first. Naturally, there will be people who would bring her back to the palace.”
“This isn’t too good right? After all, it is Her Royal Highness, the princess. For us to not send her back to the palace…”
That guard who was ordered by Di Cang to cut off someone’s finger swept at glance at his mate. “Could it be that you wish to offend Marquis Cang? Although we are the people sent by His Majesty, Marquis Cang is our master now. Furthermore, we had been so rude toward the sixth princess today. There’s no possibility of us returning to His Majesty’s side.”
Perhaps, this was the reason why Di Cang wanted them to take action…
In reality, this guard had overthought things. The reason why Di Cang did not take action was not to make the guards be in the completely same boat as he was.
He had never been concerned about the royal family. So why was there a need for him to do so now?
He just did not wish to dirty his own hands.
That was it.

At the corner of a bustling street, Bai Xiaochen held a little white tiger in his arms as his cunning eyes observed the people who were passing by. He asked in uncertainty, “Xiao Mi, are you sure that the daughter of that bad woman will appear here?”
The bad woman whom Bai Xiaochen was referring to was naturally none other than the Bai family’s matriarch, Yu Rong.
“I personally saw those people walk into the restaurant. I reckon they will be exiting soon. Little master, how do you plan to settle the score with that lady?”
“You don’t have to bother about these matters. Later on, if you have the opportunity, scratch her. Ruthlessly scratch her for me!” 2
Bai Xiaochen waved his small little fist as he looked so fierce. This look of his was so adorable no matter how one looked at it. It really made one unable to help but wish to pinch his little face.
The little white tiger rolled its eyes as it said in objection, “I’m a white tiger, not a cat.”
