Ning Wanwan frowned and said seriously, “Please address me as the King of Yi’s wife.”
The man laughed, “I am Di Huan, son of the Left Chancellor of the Secret Service.”
Displeased, Ning Wanwan raised an eyebrow, “Is there something you want?”
Di Huan shook the wine bottles, “Nothing much, just admiring your beauty and wanting to invite you for a drink.” His words were crude and inappropriate, especially since this was a flower appreciation gathering, not a banquet.
No one would bring alcohol while appreciating flowers. Ning Wanwan knew this person was looking for trouble.
As the son of Di Yan, the Left Chancellor who controlled military power, she couldn’t cause a scene. Si Zhan’s situation was difficult, so she tried to avoid offending anyone. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Young Master Di, please be careful with your words. I am a married woman and cannot bear your admiration. Farewell!” Then she pulled Fu Yi to leave.
“Hey—” Di Huan blocked their path, forcing them to step back.
The noble ladies and young masters who were appreciating flowers gathered to watch the drama. Di Huan’s arrogance grew as he said, “Princess Yun Xiang, me offering you a drink is a sign of my favor. Today, you will drink this wine, whether you want to or not.”
Ning Wanwan narrowed her eyes and remained silent. Di Huan’s harassment was clearly planned, and this flower appreciation gathering likely a trap. She regretted not bringing Yuan Zhu with her today.
As she thought, Fu Yi stepped in front of her and angrily shouted at Di Huan, “How dare you! Insulting our Princess!”
“
“Where did this servant—” Di Huan raised the wine bottle to smash Fu Yi, and Ning Wanwan’s expression changed as she was about to pull Fu Yi back.
Suddenly, Di Huan started screaming. Ning Wanwan looked and saw that Yuan Bi had appeared behind Di Huan, twisting his wrist backward.
Fu Yi joyfully called out, “Yuan Guard!”
Di Huan turned to see Yuan Bi’s cold face and cursed, “Who the hell are you? I’m the son of Di Yan, the Left Chancellor! Let go, or you’ll regret it!”
Yuan Bi stared at him expressionlessly. The crowd watched silently.
