Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 129: Stop Pretending to Be Pitiful

Shen Chen looked at Liu Qingxi quietly: "En." He nodded lightly.

A cheerful voice rang out:

"What’s going on, why are so many people gathered here?"

A cheerful young lad came over.

It was the swaggering Li Du, walking over with a carefree demeanor.

Li Du saw familiar faces, looked surprised, and exclaimed casually: "Yo, Ah Zhi, Shen Chen is here too, and Qingxi, what’s happening?"

Turning his head to look around, he drove away those few onlookers: "Disperse, disperse, nothing to see here."

The scholars, feeling bored, departed on their own.

"Ah Zhi, what happened to you all? Surely it’s not another quarrel with Qingxi? You have such a bold personality, you should be more accommodating... Ouch!"

The young man cried out in pain. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zhi reached out and gave him a hard knock on the head.

"Damn Li Du, you hit me during the Dragon Boat Festival and I haven’t gotten my revenge, and you came right at me. Also, which eye of yours saw my bold personality? Speak recklessly again and I won’t be polite to you."

The young girl fiercely raised her fist, ready to act rudely.

Tan Huanhuan walked over and raised her voice: "Exactly, you don’t even know what happened, and you just jumped in and started playing the advocate."

Li Du looked confused at the scene in front of him and puzzled: "So what happened here?"

Li Du had a good impression of Liu Qingxi, who was gentle and caring. Although they weren’t in the same study, during his time at the Imperial College, he heard many commendations about Liu Qingxi. In contrast, Ye Zhi, whom he’d grown up with, wasn’t as easy-going.

Thinking back to the last time he watched the dragon boat race, she had given Qingxi a hard time.

Ye Zhi never gave Li Du a direct look, knowing his character would definitely side with Liu Qingxi.

"Liu Qingxi, we should mind our own business, I won’t trouble you, and you shouldn’t disturb my friends anymore. Your father is merely a Third-Grade official, you should know the saying ’an official a grade higher crushes the dead.’ I won’t mention today’s incident to my elders, but if you cause trouble again, I’ll tell my father you bullied me."

Ye Zhi’s words.

Helped Liu Qingxi regain some composure.

If her father learned she offended Lord Minister’s daughter at the Imperial College, a punishment would surely follow: "Ah Zhi, why say such things? I only misunderstood Shen Chen’s identity, didn’t I just apologize?"

Her face was full of innocence.

Li Qian, not brave but for his Sister Ye Zhi, also stepped forward to give a warning: "And me. If you dare bully Sister Ye Zhi, I won’t spare you either."

Everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions: Why are you in this mess...

Li Qian, embarrassed, added: "Also, if you dare bully Qinglian, I won’t let you off."

As the Eldest Prince, Qinglian was the Thirteenth Princess, making his stance justified.

Ye Zhi and her group were unaware of Li Qian being the Eldest Prince, merely thinking he was anxiously protecting his friend, boldly standing up, and didn’t take it to heart.

One person after another accused her, leaving Liu Qingxi quite angry: "So many of you aim against me alone, truly ironic."

Ye Zhi stepped forward, her starry eyes fixed straight on her, her long eyelashes fluttered as she smiled mockingly, and spoke harshly:

"Don’t pretend to be pitiful, your tricks are no less than others. My father is Lord Minister, an official of First Grade. My mother is a wealthy merchant, with vast riches. My sister is the esteemed Fourth Princess Consort. I, Ye Zhi, am born noble, no one can act arrogantly before me, yet you, a mere concubine’s daughter, don’t recognize your status. I have not quarreled with you before, but you seem unaware of your standing."
