Chapter 44 Impersonating the Prime Minister's Daughter
"Wei Cilan! I am a princess! Do you think I, a princess, would lower myself to frame a young lady from the Grand Tutor's mansion? Where do you get your confidence? And what about you? Do you think I would frame her?" The Seventh Princess clasped her hands together, seemingly asking the crowd present, but in fact, she exuded the pressure of a princess.
She seemed to be saying silently, "If you dare to say that, just wait for your family to suffer!"
Everyone present understood the relative importance of a favored princess and a young lady from the Grand Tutor's mansion!
Therefore, no one present dared to say that the Seventh Princess was abusing her power!
"Miss! Isn't this just abusing power? This is too much!" Even Qinghe behind Yun Juan couldn't stand it anymore!
"Yes! That's right! It's about using power to oppress people! But that's how imperial power is, so you have to pave the way for it! But I just can't stand this kind of oppressive power!" Yun Juan jogged forward, and Qing He couldn't catch up with her!
"Yeah! That's right! You're abusing your power! You're framing me! What? Isn't that right? I saw it all!" Yun Juan stepped forward with a nonchalant air, even picking at her ear!
The Seventh Princess's face instantly darkened, as if shrouded in dark clouds.
Her gaze sharpened and became hostile as she stared intently at Yun Quan, a surge of intense dissatisfaction and anger welling up within her.
Because Yun Juan's appearance at this moment was like a slap in the face, blatantly trampling on her self-esteem.
She felt that her dignity had been severely damaged, as if she had been slapped in the face in public, and she had lost all face!
This sense of humiliation was unbearable for her, and a raging fire of anger towards Yun Juan ignited within her.
Wei Cilan behind her tugged at her clothes and shook her head, signaling Yun Juan not to anger the Seventh Princess and not to stand up for her!
Yun Juan noticed her slight mood, reached out and patted the back of her hand reassuringly, and nodded to her.
It's as if it's saying silently, "Don't worry! I'm here! Everything will be alright!"
Wei Cilan, standing behind Yun Juan, still looked at her with concern!
"Are you challenging the imperial authority?" The Seventh Princess's voice was low, but it was full of authority and oppression.
Yun Quan spread her hands: "I did not challenge the imperial authority! I was just an ordinary citizen telling the truth! Does the imperial authority not allow people to speak the truth?"
Even the Seventh Princess was rendered speechless by the other party's sharp tongue. If she admitted that it was an abuse of imperial power to oppress people, then the common people outside would hear about it.
It will definitely cause public outrage, and then she, the princess, will be in trouble. Although the emperor dotes on her, it is far from the point where he would give up the throne for her!
If you don't admit it, aren't you just contradicting yourself? There's no way to back down now!
Moreover, if we manage to catch Wei Cilan this time, we might not be able to catch her a second time. If we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another chance!
"Guards! Search me! I refuse to believe it! These things were a gift from the Emperor; you can't afford to compensate for them if they're lost!" The Seventh Princess waved her hand, signaling the guards to come and search her.
Yun Juan took a look and exclaimed, "Good heavens! It seems those few words weren't enough to calm her down!"
However, since the Seventh Princess insists that Wei Cilan stole her hairpin, she must have already sent someone to frame her!
Moreover, if the guards come up and search her, her reputation will be affected if word gets out!
I guess I'll have no chance to be with those scions of wealthy and powerful families from now on!
If they find it, they can accuse her of stealing the hairpin and pin the crime on her!
If they can't find her, which family would dare to take a woman who has been touched by a guard?
Anyway, it kills two birds with one stone, so neither the positive nor the negative Seven Princesses lose out!
Hmph! This seventh princess may be young, but she's quite ruthless! No wonder she comes from the imperial harem!
"Wait! Seventh Princess! What if we don't find anything?" Yun Juan quickly thought of a solution. She absolutely couldn't let those guards search her!
When Wei Cilan heard the guards searching behind her, she staggered!
She never imagined they were just childhood sweethearts. Ever since she learned that he had become the consort of the Seventh Princess, she had already drawn a clear line between them!
Whether the other party likes the Seventh Princess or not is none of her business!
She couldn't risk the entire Grand Tutor's mansion for a single relationship! There were so many people in the Grand Tutor's mansion; she couldn't and wouldn't do that!
The Seventh Princess looked at Yun Juan with cold eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She crossed her arms, leaned against a pillar, and questioned him arrogantly and hostilely, "And who are you? Why are you so protective of Wei Cilan? Don't you know who I am?"
After saying that, her gaze turned as if she had spat poison, staring fiercely at Yun Juan, as if she wanted to devour him alive.
"Me? I don't change my name or surname, Yun Quan! The legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion! The biological daughter of Prime Minister Yun Ting!" Yun Quan was afraid that the Seventh Princess wouldn't remember the Prime Minister's name, so she specifically pointed it out!
"Did you hear that? I remember the Prime Minister's eldest daughter is named Yun Rong, isn't she?"
"Yes! Which legitimate daughter is she?"
"Never heard of it?"
The atmosphere in the hall became tense, and the ladies and young women of each family turned their gazes toward Yun Quan, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.
They had never heard of another legitimate daughter in the Prime Minister's mansion, and it was always the prominent legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion who attended the banquets; they were already familiar with her.
The sudden appearance of Yun Quan has surprised everyone, and countless questions have arisen in their minds.
Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Yun Juan did not back down. She straightened her body, slightly raised her chin, and responded to the surrounding gazes with a firm and confident posture.
Her eyes were clear and bright, revealing an unwavering determination, as if telling everyone: I am the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, without a doubt.
The ladies exchanged glances, seemingly communicating their opinions about Yun Quan in silence.
Some ladies frowned, their faces showing obvious suspicion; while some young ladies whispered among themselves, trying to get more information about Yun Quan from others.
However, regardless of outside speculation, Yun Juan maintained a calm and composed expression.
"It's true that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can impersonate the Prime Minister's daughter now! Do you think we've never seen the Prime Minister's daughter before?" A young lady from a prominent family who was on good terms with the Seventh Princess stepped forward and said sarcastically.
The Seventh Princess was also in a lively mood, originally thinking that it was some important person who had talked back to her!
I never imagined even his identity was fake. He's just an imposter, thinking he's something special!
“Yes! Everyone here has seen the Prime Minister’s daughter! You say you are her! If you say you are, then you are!” A noblewoman, trying to curry favor with the Seventh Princess, spoke up and started targeting Yun Juan.
