The girls looked at each other and hurriedly started to check their things. After confirming that everything that belonged to them was still with them, they sighed in relief.
Yi Huiqing looked at all these girls with a frown and then went to stand beside the silent Li Rui.
Her frown went deeper when she saw that Li Rui was not speaking anything.
"Rui, say sothing. Do you know how did this hairpin co here?"
Yi Huiqing shook Li Rui's shoulder lightly as she questioned her.
But Li Rui didn't say anything.
Seeing this, one of the girls sneered and said aloud
"What will she say now? And even if she says sothing in her favor, it is not like we will believe her foolishly. After all, we also have her own eyes and ears."
Yi Huiqing turned around to glare at the girl who said this.
"You seed to be too proud of your eyes and ears. Do you believe when I say that I can make both of them useless for you with just my one punch?"
The girl looked terrified when You Huiqing really showed her her small fist but she didn't want to look weak so she said
"Hmph! I don't want a thief and a hooligan as my friend. I am leaving and don't call here to attend such a stupid gathering again."
Yi Huqing was very angry when she heard the girl calling Li Rui a thief and her a hooligan. She almost stepped forward to beat that girl up but after finishing her words; the girl imdiately left the garden while others soon followed her.
Yi Huqing was very unhappy after seeing all this.
She shook Li Rui's shoulder and tried to make her speak.
"Rui, say sothing. Did soone bully you when you were in the Imperial Palace? Why don't you play with anymore?"
This question was sothing that even Li Chen wanted to have an answer to. He also looked at Jiejie curiously but saw that she didn't say anything and continued to stand there silently.
Seeing this, Yi Huiqing sighed and turned around to look at Li Na, Li Caihong, and Li Chen. She glared at the trio fiercely and said
"It must be you two who had done sothing. I know both of you very well. Don't think that just because you are two you can bully my younger sister. Her Elder Sister, I, is still alive to save her. I will beat both of you to the pulp."
Yi Huiqing has always been very violent amongst the girl Li Na and Li Caihong have ever seen. They knew that since she was the most pampered girl in Yi Clan, her grandfather let her do anything so she never tolerated bullying anyone herself as well as Li Rui.
Hence, Li Caihong was truly scared when she saw that Yi Huiqing looked ready to beat them and hurriedly hit behind Li Na.
Li Na also swallowed but she didn't want to look weak so she said
"Woah…what are you showing so much aggression for? It is us who had lost our thing and when we get to know that it has been found, we had just co to take it back. You can't just people unreasonably. I can assure you that by doing that, you as well as your younger sister…"
Li Na made a face when she said 'younger sister' and continued
"…will not be let go of just like that by my father as well as Second Uncle."
Yi Huiqing now really hesitated to step forward. She was not scared for herself as she knew that she will not be beaten whatever she would do but she was afraid that Li Rui would be beaten by her father.
After all, there had been many instances before she had been beaten by General Li just because she was there when she (Yi Huiqing) had beaten soone.
However, she didn't want this bla of thief to fall on Li Rui's head. As she was thinking, her eyes suddenly fell on the small figure of Li Chen who had suddenly entered the garden and they narrowed as she asked him.
Was it not him who had picked the hairpin from behind the bushes?
"Chenchen…tell . Do you know sothing about this matter?"
Li Chen was scared after seeing the aggressiveness of Yi Huiqing and tried to shrink himself by clinging to Li Na.
Now, Li Na was also afraid that Li Chen will say sothing and everything will co out. She hid Li Chen completely and then held his arm tightly as if reminding him that he can't speak up anything.
And perhaps her thod was very right. As Li Chen who felt the light pain in his arms rembered that it was him who had intentionally thrown the hairpin behind the bushes while jumping in Li Rui's lap.
Now he can't say this out aloud. His Second Elder Sister had told him that if he accepted his fault then instead of getting what he wanted he would get punishnt.
--------
"Chenchen will need to go and throw this hairpin near Elder Sister. You need to make it look like that the hairpin fell down from Elder Sister's hands or it was she who was hiding it."
Li Na said to Li Chen who frowned but nodded his head.
"Then…"
She was about to continue when Li Chen interrupted her.
"But Second Elder Sister, how will I get to start my training by doing this?"
Li Na's lips twitched in annoyance at the interruption but she had to pretend as a loving sister as she answered Li Chen casually.
"You will…why would I lie to you?"
"Oh…"
Li Chen whispered but then a mont later, he spoke again
"But Second Elder Sister, if I made it look like that Elder Sister hid Third Elder Sister then her friends will think badly about her."
Li Na was startled to see that Li Chen knew sothing like this.
