With clarity in his heart but no change on his face, Xiao Changyi took An Jing's right hand, and only after their fingers intertwined did he say, "Let's go and see for ourselves, I'm curious to see what a maid who dares to scold the Changsheng Princess looks like."
Upon hearing this, Consort Yu was startled, and regardless of whether she feared Xiao Changyi, she hurriedly intercepted Xiao Changyi and An Jing with a forced laugh, "Why would the Prince bother to look at such a lowly maid? It would be unfortunate if your eyes were dirtied by her."
