Chapter 779: Chapter 783: Luck Bag, Now Online (18)
The Eldest Prince’s cries of pain were truly heartbreaking, and the scene instantly descended into chaos.
Although the Eldest Prince’s personality did not endear him to the Emperor, he was lucky to have a good mother.
The Noble Consort had been with the Emperor for many years and was deeply trusted by him.
Thus, by virtue of his mother’s status, the Emperor was quite good to the Eldest Prince.
Otherwise, the Emperor would not have turned a blind eye, allowing him to attend classes at the Academy.
Officially, he was there to study and cultivate his character, but secretly, everyone knew he was there to recruit talent.
But now he had t with an accident right before everyone’s eyes, and even though all could testify that he had twisted his own back, everyone still felt uneasy, fearing that they might be blad by the Emperor and the Noble Consort.
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned towards Su Li.
Su Li confidently straightened his chest, “What are you all looking at for?”
“Is it only now that you realize I am outstanding in appearance?”
Su Li’s shaless and unabashed deanor made it hard for others to speak.
Could it be because of what the Duke said that the Eldest Prince twisted his back?
Although everyone was thinking this, no one really dared to voice it out loudly.
Ah, but soone did.
Chang You was the first to angrily shout out, “Lord, aren’t you going to kneel and confess? If it wasn’t for you, how would His Highness have gotten injured?”
This child.
Su Li curiously studied Chang You thoroughly.
Looking at Mr. Chang and Ms. Zhang, both of whom appeared intelligent, it was strange that the child they had was so foolish and stupid.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the concerns in Chang Wenqing’s heart grew even larger.
Just like Su Li thought, he and Ms. Zhang were not too foolish; how could their child not resemble them at all, perhaps they were not really….
However, he wisely did not continue with that thought.
No matter what, Zuo Jiao and Chang You could only be his children now, the deed was done and irrevocable.
Su Li disregarded the aningful looks from others and pointed directly at Zuo Jiao, saying, “Child, you mustn’t talk nonsense.”
“Previously your sister said I would strain my back, but look at now, jumping around without any issues.”
“If just talking could make things happen, I would want a pile of gold to fall on my head right now.”
“And you, little child, are quite disrespectful. At least you used to call ‘father’ before, how co you speak so rudely to now?”
Chang Wenqing could no longer tolerate it, he hadn’t expected the Duke to be so shaless.
People like them usually made harsh statents in private; who would publicly disclose their own embarrassing affairs in front of everyone?
Chang Wenqing’s old face turned beet red, and the stares of the surrounding people felt like knives cutting into him.
He always felt that their stares carried a clear sense of mockery.
Su Li was unconcerned and continued to “tsk tsk.”
“Ah, I’ve just realized, your family all look quite alike….”
Not only Chang Wenqing, but Zuo Jiao and Chang You also had their faces flushed red.
Being shouted at by Su Li like that, believe it or not, if you take a closer look, they really do resemble each other.
At that mont, the onlookers’ gazes shifted again.
Ah, it’s said that these children are almost sixteen now?
Didn’t the Duke Mansion take in a concubine sixteen years ago, seemingly for so reason related to a drowning or sothing?
Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that Ms. Chang Zhang, who seed so gentle and weak, had quite impressive moves indeed.
Wasn’t there a secret pregnancy before she entered the Duke Mansion?
Although everyone had already guessed it, it was brought out into the open again…
Chang Zuojiao could no longer hold back her tears; they stread down her face as she looked at Su Li resentfully and said, “Why can’t you just bear to see us happy?”
“Injustice…” Su Li exclaid in shock, “I rely said that your family all look quite good.”
“Like father, like daughter, just look at Mr. Chang’s good looks… How does speaking such truths beco a disdain to see you happy…”
It was ironic indeed.
Whether Duke Zhen was genuinely obtuse or was seizing the opportunity to mock was unclear.
“Ha ha….”
This laughter… was really too well-tid.
Although I wanted to laugh, considering Mr. Chang’s dignity, many people at the scene were forcibly holding back their laughter.
And that sudden chuckle stood out extraordinarily distinct.
Following the sound, one saw a thin scrawny kid clutching his stomach, laughing heartily.
The servant behind him fiercely tugged on the child’s back but failed to stop his laughter.
“Twelfth Prince, this is not a place for you.”
Chang Wenqing outright identified the child’s identity.
But from the attire of the little prince and the stingy old woman behind him, it was clear he belonged to the group that was not treated well in the palace.
Even Chang Wenqing could glare at him and scold directly.
Princess Changning imdiately turned cold, showing no sibling affection, “Twelfth brother, your rudeness is intolerable, and I will report your actions to our father.”
The little prince retorted carelessly, “Can’t you guys co up with sothing new to say? Every ti soone speaks, it’s about being rude…”
At this mont, Chang Zuojiao’s tone remained relatively gentle as she interjected, “Twelfth Prince, Princess Changning is your elder sister, behaving this way… It must upset the Fifth Princess too.”
Chang Zuojiao really disliked the way the Twelfth Prince looked at her.
She had experienced such gazes a lot these days.
Whether out of jealousy, disliking, or disgust…
But it didn’t matter; whoever harbored malice against her, regardless of their status, would eventually suffer the consequences.
Without ntion of the Fifth Princess, the little prince wouldn’t have been so agitated, but now he looked fiercely like a starving wolf, startling Chang Zuojiao severely.
Despite the little prince being small and thin, the force with which he charged was strong, knocking Chang Zuojiao to the ground.
“Don’t ntion my sister. If it weren’t for you, my sister wouldn’t have had her face ruined, nor would her marriage hopes have been altered.”
ntioning this, Chang Zuojiao dodged guiltily.
She rembered this, but it wasn’t her fault.
If the Fifth Princess had not spoken so ill of her, there wouldn’t have been…
Chang Wenqing frowned, directly cutting off the little prince’s anger, “Twelfth Prince, you mustn’t speak irresponsibly. The Fifth Princess’s disfigurent was clearly due to her own facial sores being scratched carelessly, potentially leaving scars.”
“This has nothing to do with the young lady here; do not irrationally drag her into this.”
“Besides, the matter of the princess’s marriage is solely decided by the Empress in the palace. Are you also dissatisfied with the Empress by saying so?”
“You….” The frail body of the little prince certainly couldn’t argue with the silver-tongued Mr. Chang.
Just a mont ago, he was like a little wolf; now, his eyes were brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful.
Su Li found it sowhat amusing.
Yes, she was that wicked, actually finding it funny to watch the pitiful youngster being oppressed.
Taking advantage of everyone else being distracted, and no one paying attention to her, Su Li slipped away silently.
