Chapter 1354: Showing His Edge
Liang Renhui had such doubts. When the others heard Lin Yuelan's words, they also looked at her suspiciously.
Was it really, as she said?
Could a three-year-old child or a sixty-year-old woman in the countryside really answer a difficult question like the one posed by the High Priest of Aduo Chai?
However, just as everyone was suspicious, Xiao Jingyu sneered and said," Hehe, Princess Guguo, since you said that those lowly peasants in the countryside can answer it, then you can answer it for me now!"
She was mocking Lin Yuelan for being a lowly peasant.
Lin Yuelan's expression turned cold when she heard what Xiao Jingyu said. She shouted sternly," Princess Linglong, please mind your words! You keep calling them lowly peasants. But do you know that without the hard work of these peasants, would you have food on the table? Without them, would you have the silk and satin that you wear? Without them, can your Xiao family sit in the palace and enjoy the fruits of their labor? Then do you know that your ancestors were also the lowlifes you mentioned dozens of generations ago!"
Lin Yuelan's words seemed to have stabbed into everyone's heart.
Everyone seemed to have understood something!
"Guguo princess is right!" At this time, Xiao Jingrui, who had been silent, put down the wine glass in his hand and suddenly said seriously. "Sixth Sister, apologize!"
Xiao Jingyu's expression was originally smug. However, after hearing Lin Yuelan's sharp retort, her expression immediately froze. Her face turned colorful and extremely ugly.
However, that was fine.
But after hearing Xiao Jingrui's voice, her colorful face turned extremely pale, and if one looked carefully, there was some fear in her eyes.
She placed her hands on her thighs and pinched them tightly. Her upper teeth bit her lower lip. In the end, she apologized unwillingly," I'm sorry!"
The voice was as soft as a mosquito's.
If it were an ordinary princess, as the host, after the other party apologized, regardless of whether it was sincere or fake, she would definitely forgive the other party for the sake of friendship.
However, Lin Yuelan was no ordinary princess.
To her, perhaps others might say that she was too condescending, arrogant, and so on, but she did not care.
Anyway, she was living her own life. What did it matter if others had their opinions?
"Princess Linglong, the person you want to apologize to is not me but the millions of peasants and commoners in the world!" Lin Yuelan continued," However since you want to apologize, Princess Linglong, I will accept your sincere apology on behalf of the people of the world. However, your voice is too soft, I can't hear you!"
When Xiao Jingyu heard this, he shot a furious gaze at Lin Yuelan. She gritted her teeth and asked," What do you want from me?"
Lin Yuelan said sharply," Of course, Princess Linglong should continue apologizing until I'm satisfied!"
"You!" Xiao Jingyu was so angry that she jumped up. She then said word by word," Lin Yuelan, don't push your luck. I've already apologized so I won't apologize again!"
"Oh, really?" Lin Yuelan looked at Xiao Jingrui with a faint smile and said faintly," Just now, you said that your country is a civilized country. How did it change so fast? The princess knows that she is wrong, but she doesn't want to apologize?"
Xiao Jingrui's gloomy expression remained unchanged. He held a small jade glass and calmly drank his own wine. Then, he didn't even look at Xiao Jingyu but looked ahead and said coldly, "Apologize!"
Although it was just one word, it contained a dignity and warning that could not be defied.
Xiao Jingyu listened to Xiao Jingrui's voice as if she had heard the devil's call. The expression on her face was exceptionally stiff and scared.
"I'm sorry!" Her voice was slightly louder than before.
"I didn't hear you! Princess Linglong, have you not eaten? Your voice is so soft!" Lin Yuelan shouted with a fierce and dignified tone.
These words were really impolite.
"Princess Guguo, forgive me! Since Princess Linglong has already apologized, why are you so aggressive?" Liang Renhui tried to persuade Lin Yuelan as a mediator.
"It seems that the High Priest cares greatly about women!" Lin Yuelan looked at Liang Renhui with a light smile. Her sharp gaze deliberately looked at Liang Renhui from head to toe. Then, she deliberately glanced at Xiao Jingyu.
