In the Purple Glazed Soft Sedan Chair, Liu Yuren did not get out, and the Black-Clad Guardian outside the chair only cupped his fists in greeting to Jing Tian'ao and Xia Yingba. The grandeur of Liu Yuren could be seen from just a small personal guard.
Jing Tian'ao's cold eyes seemed capable of dripping ice; he was the esteemed Prince Ping, yet in the Xia Family, he was treated no better than a madman like Xuan Yuan Ling! In Xia Yingba's eyes, there was only Xia Huxin and Xuan Yuan Ling. Now even Liu Yuren's personal guard did not regard him, Prince Ping, with any respect. How could he swallow this humiliation?
“Xiahou, why does General Liu want to stay at the Xia Family?” Jing Tian'ao suppressed his anger and spoke coldly. His chilling voice made the common people on both sides of the street shiver involuntarily, as if dark clouds were pressing down upon them.
People had always thought Prince Ping was dignified and noble, but today he seemed ominous and fierce.
Xia Yingba then turned around to glance at Jing Tian'ao and said lightly, “General Liu has been stationed at Border Defense for ten years, with no relatives in the capital. The general and I had a chance encounter ten years ago and hit it off quite well. Moreover, my daughter Huxin is unruly and undisciplined. It just so happens that General Liu has some free time over the next month to teach my daughter Huxin skills in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and martial arts. This can also be seen as a way to discipline this ill-mannered girl!”
As soon as Xia Yingba finished speaking, an uproar broke out at the scene.
Huxin took off the purple sandalwood water bottle around her neck and held back her anger several times before not throwing it heavily on the ground! In the end, she threw it to Qing Yan behind her in dissatisfaction.
Who came up with this ridiculous idea? To have Liu Yuren teach her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and martial arts? To let a person who speaks so steadily that it infuriates both gods and men be her teacher! Was she being treated like a fool?!
It was true that Liu Yuren had helped her once in the Imperial Garden! But she, Xia Huxin, had seen all kinds of scenes and storms in modern times! Coming to this ancient world without even electricity was just to be taught by someone?
She might as well be Liu Yuren's master!
Xuan Yuan Ling's expression also turned cold.
Jing Tian'ao clenched his fists tighter, staring intently at the Purple Glazed Soft Sedan Chair not far ahead of him, his suppressed anger ready to explode.
"Xiahou is really joking. How can Huxin Sister be so spoiled? This King has known Huxin Sister for a long time and truly finds her simple and lovely, with no faults at all. Why would General Liu need to step in to teach her? If Huxin Sister really needs improvement, it would naturally be best for This King to guide her."
Jing Tian'ao suppressed the jealousy and anger in his heart and gritted his teeth to speak.
Upon hearing Jing Tian'ao's words, Huxin couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. She had seen shamelessness before, but she had never encountered someone as brazen as Jing Tian'ao!
Just yesterday in the Imperial Garden, he would have crushed her like an ant without a second thought! And today, he was calling her Huxin Sister with such familiarity—ugh! Who is he to call her Huxin Sister! Han Xuan or not, it doesn't matter!
Xia Yingba raised an eyebrow and calmly looked at the speaking Jing Tian'ao, feeling nothing but disdain and mockery inside.
How could Jing Tian'ao not know how he used to treat his daughter? If it weren't for the fact that this Girl seemed like a completely different person these past few days, displaying many surprising behaviors, would Jing Tian'ao still want to compete with Liu Yuren for her?
He, Xia Yingba, had been through this before; he could see clearly where Jing Tian'ao's little tail was wagging!
Having once looked down on his daughter, now he wanted to win her back? Let him chase after his own Spring and Autumn Grand Dream!
"Your Highness, there is always a sequence to things. Being a mentor is like a woman being pregnant; once she is pregnant, she is pregnant. You can't say that someone else's pregnancy doesn't count just because you didn't get to speak up in time. Your own pregnancy is the only one that matters! Surely Your Highness knows that a gentleman's word is as hard to retract as a galloping horse?"
The previously silent Liu Yuren, who had been sitting steadily in the Palanquin, slowly spoke up. His voice was calm and pleasant, steady yet uniquely charming.
However, his words made Huxin feel another layer of goosebumps rise on top of the ones she already had.
