I don't know how many minutes this silence has been since they entered the horse carriage. Xiu Qixuan's face was perfectly blackened, she looked at Su Yiyang with a deadly gaze as if wanting to devour the girl with embers of fire. But, the stared Su Yiyang simply fell silent turning his face away clumsily.
"Great Miss Xiu, don't be angry! It's my fault." Jiajia said trembling by lowering her face nervously. He chose to protect his master from Xiu Qixuan's anger.
Snorting lightly, Xiu Qixuan said sharply: "Don't protect her, Jiajia! Judging from his brave actions, our Yiyang does not need protection from anyone." He crossed his arms in front of his chest displaying the arrogance of a powerful person.
Hearing her words, Su Yiyang glared unhappily. He puffed his face in annoyance. "You yourself why come out to protect me in such a bad way?!" saith.
Screeched. Xiu Qixuan pursed her face, her lips moving out a slur that pressed down on Su Yiyang: "So what should I do? Seeing you keep acting up and endangering us all?! That's the best way for you!"
Su Yiyang was silent for a moment, He snorted unwilling to lose. "By letting my father get involved to punish me?! That's right, damn it?!" huffed. He then turned his head sharply to the side, "You too, Xiao Rou! Why did it act like that?!" its spray.
Xiao Rou's face grimaced, unwell. But, he replied with such straightforward dedication: "Miss Su, may be angry. However I will not apologize, as it is my duty to obey the orders of the Great Miss as a subordinate of the Xiu family."
Clench jaws. Su Yiyang snorted and turned his face away, he was at a loss for words to curse.
Xiu Qixuan smiled in satisfaction, when she saw the dedication of Xiao Rou hitting Su Yiyang.
This Su Yiyang was truly a real troublemaker. His stubborn and ruleless behavior made Xiu Qixuan wonder how the Su Family educated this child?
In his mind, Xiu Qixuan felt blessed by the presence of Yao Yunmei who taught her many things as a noblewoman.
If, not—ia would probably have more severe behavior than the current Su Yiyang. Yao Yunmei once said this to her: "Noble can't live as he pleases. Although you are not greedy and have no ambition intention. The people around you won't let you just like that, Xuan'er."
Xiu Qixuan put that in her heart.

Earlier...
This strange combination and making the dizzy head completely drained his energy. Facing three princes at once at one time made Xiu Qixuan extremely cautious. Moreover... That boyish Shen Wanqi!
"I think that's the only fair way and can appease the ninth prince without making more of a fuss in the palace that would disturb the emperor."
Xiu Qixuan sharpened her hearing to hear Xiao Rou who was talking seriously on the street corner with Shen Zongshun, the Fifth Prince.
Shen Zongshun pondered for a moment to think. He looked at Xiao Rou who was in disguise and nodded his head, understood. "Yes, Big Miss wise! We'll do it that way." he said.
Xiao Rou smiled faintly. He slightly bowed and said politely: "Thank you for the help, Your Highness the Fifth Prince."
"No need to be sad!" Shen Zongshun replied gently.
Finished speaking, they moved stepping back into this strange combination of gatherings.
"Ninth sister. You want to punish Miss Su, don't you?" Shen Zongshun asked straight without further ado.
Shen Wanqi knitted the corner of his brows, puzzled by the sudden question. But, he replied furiously as he glanced at Jiajia and Su Yiyang alternately: "Yes, of course. This girl is thick-faced and her servant should be taught a lesson, right."
"Well, they will be punished according to you." Shen Zongshun said so casually as if this was nothing serious.
"WHAT?!" exclaim Shen Wanqi and Su Yiyang simultaneously.
Shen Wanqi was in disbelief, he responded with skepticism: "What do you mean that helped me, Fifth Brother?"
And, Su Yiyang who was also confused spoke up. "Wait a moment, Fifth Prince. Miss Su—," Tejeda it.
"As a prince—we cannot carelessly touch the noble lady let alone directly punish her in the palace. So, we'll hand Miss Su's sentence to Minister Su." Said Shen Zongshun sharply and seriously, not wanting to be denied.
Shen Zongshun's words made sense by allowing Minister Su who was the guardian to deal with her own daughter's mischief.
Su Yiyang's body froze. He's dumbstruck, stiff.
"What do you mean, Fifth Brother?" Shen Wanqi's reading seemed to disagree. "I'm the one who should punish him!" grunts loud.
"can't. You broke the rules by detaining a noble lady without the consent of the emperor or empress." Shen Zongshun said coldly. "I've given you a great way to get your revenge, ninth sister." His voice sounded heavy pressing, creating a dark atmosphere. "Now is your answer, yes or no?"
Shen Kaicheng grinned meaningfully, he watched and felt very amused by this all. Xiu Qixuan who was in his splinter only snorted in annoyance.
Silently for a moment, Shen Wanqi thought. He stared intently at Shen Zongshun.
Su Yiyang's face blackened. His body trembled slightly at the thought of his father's reaction to knowing he had a serious fight with a prince.
Shen Zongshun turned his head and looked at Jiajia as well as Su Yiyang in turn. Her lips moved slowly she spoke convincingly: "Look at them!" point at.
"Their bodies are already shaking nervously when we discuss Minister Su." Shen Zongshun smiled faintly.
Shen Wanqi directly followed Shen Zongshun's gaze, and sure enough—dia found Jiajia and Su Yiyang were shaking seriously.
Ah, it seems true—only Minister Su can make Su Yiyang's guts shrink.
Pulling the corner of his lips, Shen Wanqi chuckled wickedly. Without thinking any more, he approved of the way of the fifth elder brother. He would call Minister Su to the palace and let the old man know his daughter's behavior while at the gambling establishment.
Su Yiyang's hair immediately stood up, goosebumps. He's sweating cold. Glanced at Xiu Qixuan with drooping eyes for help, but the girl simply flicked her shoulders and reacted indifferently. It was as if Xiu Qixuan could say in silence: 'Your own fault didn't listen to me just now!'
The situation was back in his control. Xiu Qixuan heaved a sigh of relief, her lowered face revealed a faint smile.
"What makes you so happy that you smile?" The low voice with the warm breath of Shen Kaicheng who whispered it tickled Xiu Qixuan's ears.
Snorting sharply, Xiu Qixuan immediately moved away. Ah, this great seductress again!
