The fear in Lin Sisi's heart surged again. She instinctively turned to run.
Chu Jinling embraced her. "Sisi, don't be afraid. If she dares to insult you, I'll teach her a lesson!"
"Men, she said Sisi's face is ugly. Hold her down and slap her face until it's swollen."
A trace of hostility appeared in Chu Jinling's clear eyes. He gestured, and someone pinned Xiao Ruxue to the ground. However, being from the Xiao family, before Chu Jinling's men could act, they hesitated. "Your Highness, do we have to resort to violence?"
They were all sent by Noble Consort Xiao to be by Chu Jinling's side. If they laid hands on the Xiao family, they had to consider Noble Consort Xiao's reputation.
"Cousin, you detest Ruxue. Even if I were beaten to death by you, I wouldn't dare to complain. But if you hit me for Lin Sisi, I fear if Aunt finds out, she won't let her off! If the Xiao family finds out, they will not spare the Lin family!" Xiao Ruxue struggled.
