Chapter 232 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 6
“Brother, you know perfectly well that’s not what I meant.”
Xiao Ruojin's self-deprecating words made Xiao Ruofeng subconsciously frown: "No one knows that Ye Dingzhi came to snatch the bride today, and I will not let this matter spread. Let's just pretend that this never happened and let Ye Dingzhi go, even if it's for the sake of the late General Ye."
Xiao Ruojin scoffed and shook her head, saying, "You changed the subject to pleading for Ye Dingzhi, but you didn't answer my question directly. It seems that's what you really think, that I stole someone else's wife."
"What you think in your heart is that Yi Wenjun and Ye Dingzhi are truly in love, and that they are both sacrifices in the exchange of interests between Jingyu Royal Palace and Yingzong. You think I have wronged them both, so even though Ye Dingzhi came to steal the bride before, I cannot and should not hold it against him, because he was just trying to defend his love. He did nothing wrong, right?"
Xiao Ruofeng was speechless for a moment after Xiao Ruojin had seen through his thoughts.
He genuinely believed that Ye Dingzhi had done nothing wrong, but how could he openly accuse his own brother of being a despicable person?
Ye Xiaoying, who was standing to the side, could no longer hold back. He really had no good feelings towards Xiao Ruojin. Like the others under Xiao Ruofeng, he thought that Xiao Ruojin was no different from the greedy Qing Wang and had an instinctive aversion to all of Xiao Ruojin's actions.
Especially after Xiao Ruofeng refused to take the position and instead wholeheartedly supported Xiao Ruojin, this aversion completely turned into disgust.
Upon hearing Xiao Ruojin's words, he spat out the cloth stuffed in his mouth, staggered to his feet, and looked at Xiao Ruojin with a hint of barely perceptible disdain: "Miss Yi and Ye Dingzhi were originally..."
Xiao Ruojin was still waiting for Xiao Ruofeng's reply when he heard Ye Xiaoying dare to interrupt at this moment, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. However, he didn't say a word, but instead pointed his index finger at Ye Xiaoying twice.
In an instant, a tremendous power poured out from his body, like a mountain torrent or a tsunami, invisible yet incredibly powerful, instantly locking onto Ye Xiaoying.
The force was like a massive boulder falling from the sky, slamming into Ye Xiaoying and causing him to stagger. One of his legs involuntarily bent, and his knee slammed heavily into the ground.
"Well……"
Intense pain shot through his knees and spread throughout his body in an instant, causing Ye Xiaoying to groan involuntarily. The familiar force made him realize that the person who had restrained him in front of the Prince's Mansion was none other than Prince Jingyu, Xiao Ruojin.
He never imagined that he would be so easily suppressed and unable to move, and that person was none other than Jingyu Wang, whom he had always looked down upon.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his bones groaning and his muscles trembling, as if they might collapse at any moment.
Wasn't it said that King Jingyu was obsessed with poetry and books and only knew some military skills?
What level of attainment does he actually reach?
How could there be such immense power?
And what kind of kung fu is this?
It was able to be invisible and colorless, and could be activated in an instant, without causing any unusual phenomena in the heavens and earth.
Ye Xiaoying was filled with questions, but reality didn't allow him to think too much. He could only grit his teeth, mobilize all his inner energy, and try to resist this force.
He didn't want to admit defeat in front of Xiao Ruojin, especially with Xiao Ruofeng still there.
He tried to stand up, but the force was like a mountain pressing down on him, pinning him firmly to the ground, making it impossible for him to move.
Because of the excessive force, Ye Xiaoying's eyes began to turn bloodshot and red, his breathing became more and more rapid, and the veins on his exposed forehead and arms were bulging. Sweat flowed down his forehead like a stream and dripped onto the ground, quickly gathering into a small puddle.
Xiao Ruojin lowered her eyes, coldly looking down at Ye Xiaoying, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state. Her eyes were filled with endless iciness: "We're brothers talking, what are you? Do you even have the right to interrupt?"
After saying that, he pointed with his finger again.
Finally, Ye Xiaoying could no longer hold back and knelt down on both knees with a "plop". In order not to fall directly to the ground, he could only support himself with his arms, which made him appear in a respectful and humble kneeling posture.
From the moment Ye Xiaoying stood up and spoke to the moment he knelt on the ground, the change happened in just a few breaths.
Before Xiao Ruofeng could recover from his brother's questioning, Ye Xiaoying had already knelt on the ground.
Xiao Ruofeng stared at Xiao Ruojin in disbelief, his face filled with undisguised shock.
He was standing right next to Xiaoying, with only a foot between them, but now he was pinned to the ground and unable to move, and Xiaoying himself didn't notice anything unusual.
If he hadn't heard the sound of someone kneeling behind him, he probably wouldn't have known that his brother had already made a move and, right under his nose, had suppressed Xiaoying to the point of immobility.
Seeing Ye Xiaoying's disheveled appearance, Xiao Ruofeng felt a pang of pity and quickly tried to plead for him: "Brother..."
Xiao Ruojin waved her hand to stop him from saying anything more, then stood up and walked over to Ye Xiaoying.
He exuded an overwhelming aura of dominance, looking down at Ye Xiaoying like a god, ignoring his angry eyes, and spoke slowly and deliberately:
“I know that you have always been respectful to me on the surface, but in reality you think that I am greedy and no different from the despised King Qing. So you have repeatedly tried to persuade my brother to take the throne under the guise of righteousness, and have been trying to sow discord between my brothers.”
"But in reality, you are far from being as righteous as you claim. You just think that my brother is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and that if he were to take that position in the future, he could be manipulated by you and bring you greater benefits."
"Do you really think I can't see through your little schemes?" Xiao Ruojin's voice was solemn and cold, her eyes as deep and unfathomable as a frozen pool, sending a chill down one's spine.
Ye Xiaoying was suddenly struck in the most secret place in his heart, and his face twisted for a moment. He wanted to loudly refute Xiao Ruojin's words and say that he was not doing it for profit, but he could not deceive himself.
He was indeed impressed by Xiao Ruofeng's character, magnanimity, and personal charm, and genuinely regarded Xiao Ruofeng as a brother, but at the same time, he also wanted to gain greater benefits from Xiao Ruofeng.
That's a fact, and he can't deny it!
"The only reason I've held back until now is because my brother considers you friends and has some brotherly affection for you. Out of respect for him, I'm willing to tolerate your rudeness. That's all!"
Xiao Ruojin immediately described the original owner's incompetence and weakness, which forced her to swallow her pride and rely on these people to seize the throne, as tolerance and magnanimity towards her younger brother and friends.
