Chapter 518: Boat Banquet Incident

Qi Xiuwei's beautiful face was filled with a bit of aloofness and indifference that she had never had before.

She followed Mo Lingwei onto the boat.

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips, his attitude was indifferent, and his words seemed more like an explanation to everyone.

"Princess Funing and Miss Qi were good friends in the past. I feel sorry for them for breaking up because of a false conflict, so I'm taking advantage of today's boat banquet to invite Miss Qi to come with me to resolve the feud."

Everyone understood, but their eyes were still a little complicated.

Shen Ningning gave Qi Xiuwei a way out first.

"Xiaowei, it's great that you can come. I thought... you were still angry."

Qi Xiuwei raised her head with a cold expression: "I didn't want to come. The princess has ruined half of my life. I wish I could never have anything to do with the princess again."

"But, how can I not give face to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Princess, don't let everyone stand on the deck with me. Let's go in and talk."

Her words made the people around her take a breath.

How can you talk to Princess Funing like this!

Shen Ningning looked gloomy, but still tolerated it.

Mo Lingwei frowned.

Lu Shaoyuan couldn't help it: "Miss Qi, you are here, why are you still angry? Today, everyone is here to have fun at the Ningning boat banquet, not to see you showing off."

Shen Ningning shook her head at him: "Lu Shaoyuan! Stop talking."

Qi Xiuwei pursed her lips and showed a strange smile.

"Did you hear that, Master Lu? Princess Funing knows she owes me."

Mo Lingwei finally spoke: "That's enough. I'm still here. You say that to Shen Ningning. Do you think I'm dead?"

Qi Xiuwei shut up.

The tension between the few people was tense. The prince protected Shen Ningning and walked ahead.

Everyone was whispering to each other.

"It seems that the previous rumors are true."

"What are the rumors?"

"Oh, you don't know yet? Princess Funing helped the envoy of Changliu to reveal Qi Xiuwei's life experience!"

"What? Qi Xiuwei is the tenth princess of Changliu? No wonder she suddenly changed from a native to an enemy, and she is also the blood of Changliu. This..."

"I heard that Madam Qi was so angry that she fell ill, and Qi Xiuwei didn't even go back to visit her. She is so cruel."

"You can't blame Ningning for this!" Ye Shangyi heard their discussion and refuted it on the spot.

Although she was walking behind, Ye Shangyi was straightforward. For Shen Ningning, she even said loudly: "Stop gossiping behind my back!"

"If Ningning doesn't do this, will she have to watch Miss Qi go to jail?"

A faint female voice came from the other side, with an imperceptible provocation.

"Did the princess ask Miss Qi what she thought? What if she would rather be in jail for ten years than be exposed as the princess of Changliu?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Su Zhirou standing at the end of the crowd.

When she saw everyone looking over, she quickly covered her lips and teeth with her hands, lowered her head, and acted pretentiously.

"I'm sorry, I'm just being straightforward. Don't take it to heart."

Ye Shangyi was about to get angry with her, but she heard Qi Xiuwei's cold voice coming from the front.

"Why is this person here?" She pointed at Su Zhirou and asked Shen Ningning.

Shen Ningning blinked her eyes: "I invited you here. No matter what happened in the past, it's best if we can talk it out now."

Qi Xiuwei frowned: "Miss Su and I don't get along. I don't want to see her. Shen Ningning, if you still want to make peace with me, drive her off the boat!"

Su Zhirou's face turned pale, and Shen Ningning pursed her lips and said nothing.

Everyone felt that Qi Xiuwei's request was a bit too much.

Even if Su Zhirou was usually annoying, there were no embankments around. If you want to drive Su Zhirou away, wouldn't it be like pushing her into the water?

"Miss Qi, I ask myself that I have never had any grudges with you. Why are you forcing me like this!" Su Zhirou's eyes were already red.

She looked at Shen Ningning, but the girl frowned, and it seemed that she didn't intend to help her make the decision.

Su Zhirou's heart skipped a beat.

The conflict between Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei was a hot topic.

You won't really throw Qi Xiuwei into the water just to make peace with her today, right?

Seeing that Shen Ningning didn't refute, Mo Lingwei raised his chin to the guard beside him.

Su Zhirou was completely panicked.

"Your Highness, Princess... Zhirou was invited to the banquet today. She has never offended Miss Qi before. Why would she indulge Miss Qi to humiliate Zhirou?"

As she spoke, she burst into tears, and she felt even more ashamed in the public eye.

Shen Ningning looked at Qi Xiuwei and was very embarrassed.

"Xiaowei, how about forgetting it? Doing this... is really not good."

Qi Xiuwei raised her chin: "It's impossible to forget it. Have you forgotten how she bullied us before? Or, you can forgive anyone, and you only bully your friends around you!"

As soon as this sentence came out, before Mo Lingwei could scold, some people in the crowd couldn't stand it.

"Enough!" A sharp scolding came.

Everyone looked over, and Pei Yin walked out with a gloomy face.

"Miss Qi, how could you be such a person?" He looked at her with disappointment.

When Qi Xiuwei saw Pei Yin, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes, but it was gone in an instant.

Her pretty face was filled with a cold and distant look.

"Lord Pei, I don't understand what you mean. I came to the boat banquet today because His Royal Highness invited me. Shen Ningning said she wanted to make peace with me, so I want to see her sincerity."

"So, I don't want to see Su Zhirou, who has a grudge with me in the past, on this boat. How is my request too much?"

Pei Yin's throat rolled, and he looked at her with a complicated and indescribable look.

After a while, he bowed to Shen Ningning and said, "Princess, in this case, please allow me to take Miss Su away first."

Shen Ningning was stunned, and even Qi Xiuwei's eyes were cold and deep.

"This..." Shen Ningning hesitated.

Su Zhirou rolled her eyes and hid behind Pei Yin crying.

"Lord Pei... Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I..." She choked up.

Su Zhirou deliberately used Pei Yin to stimulate Qi Xiuwei in front of her.

Qi Xiuwei must be feeling very uncomfortable now, right?

Her former friend had betrayed her, and her beloved was extremely disappointed in her.

Shen Ningning sighed, and finally said, "Okay, Master Pei, I'll trouble you to send Miss Su away first."

Pei Yin stopped talking nonsense, unloaded the small boat from the pleasure boat, and then grabbed Su Zhirou's collar, jumped, and stood steadily on the flat boat.

He rowed the boat with a cold face, and the pleasure boat gradually went away behind him.

Su Zhirou wiped her tears and looked back, and saw the figures of Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei standing at the bow together.

As if staring at them leaving.

She didn't think much, just felt that it was an excellent opportunity.

Su Zhirou pretended to fall and fell into Pei Yin's arms.

"Ah--" She cried softly, and deliberately put her wrist on Pei Yin's neck, and then hurriedly stood firm and left, blushing.

"I'm sorry, Master Pei. I was too scared and my legs were weak, so I fell down..."

"It's okay." Pei Yin's jawline was tight, and he patted his clothes, as if he was brushing off the non-existent dust.

Su Zhirou glanced sideways and looked at the pleasure boat that had already gone away.

Shen Ningning and the others were no longer standing at the bow.

She sneered in her heart.

Qi Xiuwei must be mad to death, right?

Shen Ningning asked Pei Yin to take her away in public, so it was even more impossible for Qi Xiuwei to reconcile with Shen Ningning.
