"Of course, there are accounts to be settled!" Jian Shichu's gaze fell on Qu Mingzhu, "Qu Prefecture Princess, let me ask you, who told you that Qian Yuan was me? Who made you pretend to fall into the water to lure... Qian Yuan to rescue you? Oh, my mistake—actually, the person you wanted to lure was me, not Qian Yuan. You were just being used, mistaking Qian Yuan for me. Qu Prefecture Princess, tell me, am I right?"
"Seventh Master Jian..." Qu Yuanzhi hurriedly spoke up, attempting to interject, but was interrupted by Jian Shichu's hand gesture.
Jian Shichu gave him a mocking and icy glance, "Qu Prefecture King, I asked your daughter, not you. How come the Qu Prefecture King doesn't understand such basic etiquette despite his age?"
"I…" Qu Yuanzhi's face immediately turned bright red, speechless and stumbling over his words.
Qu Tianchen said with a cold face, "Qu Prefecture King, my cousin wasn't questioning you. Step back and do not interfere!"
