Chi Yao looked at Chi Yang, who couldn’t even wipe her nose and noisily blew it with disdain. But she couldn’t say anything to stop her, so she could only endure it.

“The two of them are lying to you, Mother!” Chi Yao’s voice was filled with tears. Because it involved her injuries, she felt a little emotional.

“Mother, Chi Yang had already colluded with Chen Pingting to humiliate me in a place where no one else was around! Look at the wound on Ah Yao’s face. She did this to me…” Chi Yao cried as she pointed at the wound on her face.

Those who heard it were sad, and those who saw it were in tears.

At that time, there were only the three of them at the rockery. If her mother believed that Chi Yang and Chen Pingting were colluding together, then their mother would definitely hate Chi Yang.

Xiao Lianyi looked at the injuries on Chi Yao’s face and couldn’t determine who was telling the truth. If Chi Yao had injured herself, she wouldn’t have been beaten up so badly. If Chi Yang was the one who injured her, then the daughter of the Chen family wouldn’t claim that it was Chi Yao’s fault.

“Your Highness, we were not the only ones there. You can ask the other ladies,” Chen Pingting suggested.

Chi Yao looked at Chen Pingting in shock. No one was there except them!

None of these people had a good relationship with Chi Yao today. She deserved it!

It was her fault for looking down on them.

Chen Pingting raised her eyebrows at Chi Yao.

Xiao Lianyi felt that Chen Pingting’s words were very reasonable, so she immediately called over the daughters who were present at the time, and when she asked, they told her that Chen Pingting was telling the truth.

“You… You! How dare you frame your own sister! What are your intentions?!” Xiao Lianyi was trembling with anger.

Who would’ve thought that the daughter she had raised for ten years had such a bad character!

Her own daughter had been framed as a villain…

Qing Zhu had no choice but to help the Eldest Princess to rest.

The people watching the show had already left, so what was the point of acting?

Chen Pingting stood up first, patting the dust off her knees. Then she pulled Chi Yang up and gently patted her back.

Chi Yang felt the force of Chen Pingting’s slap on her body and wanted to say, ‘There was no need to be so considerate.…’

“Does your knee hurt?” Chen Pingting asked softly.

Her father was a general and had not studied much on social interactions, but he told her that people who shared weal and woe would be friends in the future. She had always been good to her friends.

Besides, she had never met such a like-minded friend!

“Thank you. It doesn’t hurt.” Chi Yang replied.

Chi Yang had not met many people who knew what the other person was planning with just a glance. She was definitely going to make friends with this person!

“Sister, what’s your name? Come and talk with me often in the future!”

Chen Pingting also had the same intention. The two sat in the armchair and chatted for a long time.

…

When Chi Zhili heard the news that his two sisters were fighting, he rushed over. Who knew that he would see this scene as soon as he entered the door? A young girl in a blue dress embroidered with silver thread helped his sister up and gently patted the dust away. She then asked in a soft voice if she was feeling uncomfortable. After that, the two of them smiled knowingly and sat down to chat.

How could there be such a gentle woman in this world?

Chi Zhili stared at the woman in blue and was momentarily lost in thought.

Chi Yao was still kneeling on the ground, wondering what she had done wrong today. Listening to the conversation between Chi Yang and Chen Pingting, Chi Yao couldn’t help but despise Chi Yang.

She was just a young lady from a second-grade military general’s family, and she was not worthy of interacting with her, the daughter of a dignified assistant minister. She was really short-sighted and extremely stupid!

Sensing that someone was staring at her, Chi Yao sneaked a look and saw Chi Zhili standing in the corner.

Was he here to see her and Chi Yang?

If she were to do something weak now, Chi Zhili would feel sorry for her sister, right?

“Aiya! My face hurts!” Chi Yao stood up, covered her face, and called out in a sweet voice.

Chi Yang and Chen Pingting looked at each other.

What was Chi Yao up to this time?

Who cares about her?

The two of them exchanged glances, then turned around and continued chatting.

Chi Zhili could see Chi Yang and Chen Pingting from where he was standing, with Chi Yao kneeling in his line of sight.

Originally, Chi Yao’s kneeling position didn’t affect Chi Zhili’s line of sight from peeking at Chen Pingting, but now that Chi Yao had stood up, she blocked his view of Chen Pingting.

What was Chi Yao doing now?

“Yangyang, it’s too noisy here. Bring your friend and let’s go to a quiet place,” Chi Zhili slowly walked to Chi Yang, but his eyes never left Chen Pingting.
