Li Xue shook her head and was about to say her side of story, but right then Shin Tingming ca with a frown on his brows, "You shouldn't have gone to et the girl. Did she do anything to you?"
Li Xue stiffened for a mont but then shook her head. "She didn't do anything. And I was the person who invited her for the chat so I had to go to et her." She said as her eyes trailed to look at all the three people standing in front of her. "I have sothing to discuss with her so I asked her out."
Shin You Jun was the first one to poke the nose. How could he not? He wanted to know what they were up to there. "You asked her out? Why? Did you not think that what would have happened if she had attacked you again?" He said and both at his tone and words, Li Xue squinted her eyes.
"D-Don't squint your eyes at ? It's not like I am asking you this. Instead, it's Ma and Pa asking you. So don't threaten more, just answer us." He said, taking two steps to hide behind his parents.
Li Xue could only shake her head internally at his attitude. This boy was really sothing. He could be the best nuisance at tis.
"Xiao Xue, although You Jun is childish at tis, this ti he is right. You shouldn't have been reckless like that. I can already guess what must have made you ask her out. But you should also believe your father. He would look after the royal affairs himself. For the sake of that, you don't have to go and ask people out." Chen Rui said, like the mother who would let her daughter know the right and wrong thing.
Li Xue understood her concern, so she didn't interrupt in between her words. But once the lady was done with her words, she spoke, "Ma, on the day of rehearsals at the palace, it was not actually Princess Shen behind the accident that happened with . Although she has brought the sharp weapon inside the fencing arena, she has not intentionally been that way. It was soone else."
She revealed, and both Shin Tingming and Chen Rui's frowned at it. Exchanging the gaze among themselves, Chen Rui turned to look back at Li Xue. "Soone else?"
Li Xue nodded. "Yep, on the day of rehearsal itself, I ca to understand it when I felt my footwork not going according to my movents. At that ti I wasn't sure but later I confird it when I saw my shoes were vandalized. I wasn't able to reveal it that ti because I was not sure of the things myself. But these days, after I understood who it was, I could no longer bla Princess Shen for it."
She said. Although her expression held the ease, except her no other was looking the sa. The air had turned more serious than before. While Shin Tingming looked in deep thoughts, Chen Rui was about to lose her calm. It was good that she could see her girl all perfectly in front of her eyes, otherwise, she herself didn't know what she would have done to the person responsible.
But the question was who it could be? Li Xue was still new in the palace and there were hardly any people who knew her identity. Then who was the one courageous enough to put his or her hands onto her? Wait the person wasn't courageous, instead, he or she must be lacking the information.
If the person would have known who the girl actually was, he or she wouldn't have dared to lay their hands on her.
But Chen Rui was still furious. "Who was the one behind it?" She asked. Her tone did not leave any room for denial for Li Xue. She blinked her eyes and looked at the lady skeptical of how to tell about it. Especially when the family was already a ss.
"Ma, actually this has been sothing happening between us. As I was introduced to the project, not many people were liking , so soone might have worked on an impulse to do it. Since I am already fine, there is no need to take this thing seriously anymore. And above all, I have already let Princess Shen know about it. Since she was used as the scapegoat amid the situation, she would deal it herself."
Li Xue said but Chen Rui was not satisfied with her reply. Although she has not repeated her words again, her expressions were enough to let Li Xue know that she won't allow her to skip the topic so easily.
Shin You Jun understood his mother as well. So when saw Li Xue was all reluctant to reveal the na, he said, "Elder Sister, you better say the na of the person. Princess Shen is not your family whom revealing the culprit would be enough. Since soone has dared to harm you, we should also know about him."
He said and for once, Li Xue felt that the boy was sincerely thinking for her not planning any ga of tease on her. "It was one of the other models in the project. Li Na. I found her going into my dressing room before I went in to change. Before and after her, there was no one, so …"
"Li Na. The daughter of one of our administrative ministers?" Chen Rui's brows furrowed in confusion. Why would that girl do sothing this courageous on her own? She just not tried to harm Li Xue but has also planned to put the bla on the head of Shen Bingling. This couldn't be simple. "Xiao Xue, is there sothing else that you are keeping in? I feel like there are parts missing from the story?"
Chen Rui asked and Li Xue paused for a mont. Of course, all of this was related to Zhang Xiaotong. But for so reason, revealing the na of Zhang Xiaotong didn't feel right at the mont.
"Xiao Xue?" When Chen Rui found Li Xue silent in her stance, she probed again. But before Li Xue could say anything, a voice from the entrance interrupted, as Shen Bingling walked inside with Li Na on her side.
"Your Highness, sorry for interrupting. But instead of asking Ms. Li Xue, it would be better if you ask the culprit herself.. I have brought her to you for justice."
