Chapter 639, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping

Yinzhen's expression darkened instantly. He stared at Ma'ertai Ruoxi, his eyes flashing with hostility.

You must know that Mingyu is his own cousin. How could he tolerate being bullied by a mere daughter of a general?

Seeing this, Lin Jiu's eyelids twitched, and she quickly reached out and gently tugged at the hem of Yin Tang's clothes, signaling him not to act rashly.

After all, there were many people present, including not only His Highness the Crown Prince, but also several other older brothers.

In this situation, why would it be his younger brother's turn to step forward?

Moreover, this incident allows us to observe how the Eighth Prince will react, which will help Yinzhen to see the Eighth Prince for who he truly is.

Lin Jiu then turned her gaze to the Eighth Prince, but at that moment, she was suddenly stunned—the Eighth Prince was looking at the Ma'ertai sisters with a face full of pity, his concern evident in his expression.

Lin Jiu was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Hey, hey, hey... please, brother, can you at least get the facts straight? The one who was beaten was clearly Guo Luoluo Mingyu! Look over there, the Eighth Princess Consort is glaring at you with a fierce look the whole time!"

Can't you be a little more discreet? Openly favoring the concubine while neglecting the primary wife, does he really think we princes are blind? Doesn't he fear gossip?

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, it was the Crown Prince who stepped in and resolved this awkward situation.

After some teasing, everyone dispersed, but the matter did not end there.

Before long, news of Ma'ertai Ruoxi's brave fight against Guo Luoluo Mingyu spread throughout the palace, and she even earned a nickname comparable to the Thirteenth Prince—"Desperate Thirteenth Sister."

The originally lively and joyous birthday banquet for the Tenth Prince ended hastily, making it seem somewhat anticlimactic.

However, for the protagonist of this banquet—Yinxi—there was not much dissatisfaction or disappointment.

After all, Lin Jiu must have felt quite satisfied seeing Yinzhen so amused and carefree by Ruoxi!

Since even the person in question didn't show any displeasure, the others present naturally didn't find anything wrong with it.

However, in private conversations among the wives, they all agreed that the Eighth Prince's concubine's sister was far too impolite and lacked proper manners, so it was best to keep a certain distance from her.

If we were to say who was most significantly affected by this incident, it would probably be Yinzhen.

At this moment, one can see that Yinzhen is sitting down at the table, his face full of anger, as if he has a lot of pent-up anger that he cannot vent.

He would stand up and pace back and forth in the room for a while, then sit back down in his chair and pound the table hard, as if trying to vent his resentment and anger.

Faced with the restless and agitated Yin Tang, Lin Jiu remained as steady as a mountain, completely unmoved.

It wasn't until Yin Tang nearly overturned the entire table due to excessive force that Lin Jiu calmly extended a hand, easily stabilizing the teetering table, and then glanced at Yin Tang with indifferent eyes.

This seemingly simple glance was like a thunderbolt ripped through the sky, causing Yinzhen to tremble violently and immediately become obedient, sitting quietly in his original position, no longer daring to make the slightest mistake.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jiu gracefully poured herself a cup of hot tea, then gently pushed it towards Yin Tang, and asked in a slow voice, "Are you calmed down now?"

Under the watchful eye of his wife, Yinzhen dared not utter a word of dissent. Recalling how he had almost overturned the table just now, he awkwardly touched his nose.
