Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 325

Chapter 325: Confrontation (2)
As soon as Ye Tianchi finished speaking, a cold voice full of murderous intent came from behind.

“Ben Wang wants to see who dares to touch them!”

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned around and saw Xuan Ruiquan walking over with Emperor Yong’an and Xie Yanghui. Behind them, the young eunuch with swollen cheeks lowered his head and followed quietly. Seeing the young eunuch, Duan Yixin knew that he was the one who informed Xuan Ruiquan and others.

Xuan Ruiquan glanced at her and the Chi siblings and found that none of them were injured. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Tianchi coldly.

“Ye Cheng Xiang, how dare you accuse my fiancée of assassination without evidence. Do you think the surname of the imperial family is Ye?”

Ye Tianchi and others were stunned when they heard this. Xuan Ruiquan’s heavy remarks are not so surprising compared to his announcement that Duan Yixin is his fiancée. Ye Tianchi observed Duan Yixin for a while and realized that the clothes she was wearing were the official imperial clothes of Wangfei.

After a few seconds of silence, he gritted his teeth, clasped his hands, and said, “Wangye, you should not be partial. Your fiancée hurt my granddaughter and almost killed her. I demand justice for my granddaughter and will not give up without punishing the perpetrator.”

Xie Yanghui snorted coldly when he heard this. He walked up to Duan Yixin, patted her shoulder gently, and said, “Don’t worry. As long as Father is here, nobody would dare to touch a hair of yours.”

Duan Yixin looked at Xie Yanghui in silence and thought, ‘Is this what it feels like to have a father’s protection? The original Duan Yixin was very pitiful and died before she could find her father. Can I really enjoy her life in this world?’

Seeing Duan Yixin just staring at him, Xie Yanghui thought she was afraid of Ye Tianchi, and his face darkened.

He turned to look at Ye Tianchi and sneered, “You dare to say that my daughter bullied your granddaughter? Don’t you know how arrogant and lawless your granddaughter is? She is a well-known tyrant in this imperial capital city. Even I, who stations as far away as the western border, have also heard of her tyranny.”

He paused for a second, looked at Ye Tianchi coldly, and added, “As the prime minister of this empire, you actually bullied a young lady in public. Aren’t you ashamed of this?”

Ye Tianchi smiled and said, “Xie Guogong, this young lady just said she is an orphan. Why did you suddenly become her father?”

Xie Yanghui snorted and rolled his eyes at Ye Tianchi, “My daughter didn’t tell you her real identity because we haven’t planned to announce her identity yet. However, I will not let her be wronged because of this matter.”

Then he looked at everyone present and said, “This young lady is my daughter. From now on, anyone who dares to hurt her must be prepared to accept my revenge.”

While the ministers, generals, madams, and young ladies were shocked, Xuan Ruiquan walked up to Duan Yixin and held her hand. He smiled at her, then looked at the others and said, “Xin’er is Ben Wang’s fiancée. Offending her is the same as offending Ben Wang.”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yong’an laughed. He smiled at Ye Tianchi and asked, “Ye Cheng Xiang, do you really want to continue this matter?”

Looking at the three people protectively standing in front of Duan Yixin and the Chi siblings, Ye Tianchi clenched his hands in anger. He looked at the unconscious Ye Shuyu, then at the other ministers and generals, and found that most of them had already stood far away from him.

He sneered, noted down their names in his heart, then looked at Emperor Yong’an and smiled, “Your Majesty is wise. This is just a small quarrel between young ladies. Lao Chen will not join in the fun.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong’an nodded with satisfaction and said, “Ye Cheng Xiang made a good decision.”

Emperor Yong’an then looked at the maidservant, “Bring your young lady back. Don’t let her go out to cause trouble in the future. She should copy the virtues of women three hundred times and reflect on her tyrannical behavior behind the door for four months.”

When Emperor Yong’an issued the punishment, Ye Tianchi was so angry that he wanted to kill him. This punishment by Emperor Yong’an not only ruined Ye Shuyu’s reputation but also threw the Ye family’s prestige into the gutter.

However, when he saw Xuan Ruiquan and Xie Yanghui staring at him, Ye Tianchi could only swallow his anger and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teaching.”

He looked at the maidservant, gritted his teeth, and asked, “Still not leaving?! Do you need me to escort you back to the mansion?”

The maidservant trembled under his fierce gaze and replied quickly, “This servant will bring the Eldest Young Lady back immediately.”

After saying that, the maidservant hurriedly left the flower garden with Ye Shuyu. After the maidservant left, Ye Tianchi looked at Emperor Yong’an and coldly said, “Lao Chen is worried about my granddaughter. Your Majesty, Lao Chen will leave first.”

Ye Tianchi glared at Xuan Ruiquan and Xie Yanghui for a few seconds, flung his sleeves, and left angrily without waiting for Emperor Yong’an’s permission.

Seeing Ye Tianchi leaving with his supporters, other ministers and generals who came to join in the fun saluted Emperor Yong’an and left one after another to enjoy the flowers with their wives and children.

Looking at Ye Tianchi’s face, which was darker than the bottom of the pot when he left, Duan Yixin tugged on Xuan Ruiquan’s sleeve lightly.

Xuan Ruiquan looked at her and raised his eyebrows, “What’s wrong?”

Duan Yixin hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is this alright?”

“Mhm?”

Seeing Xuan Ruiquan’s confused look, Duan Yixin asked again, “Won’t this matter make that person hate you?”
