Hearing the woman’s words behind her, Wen Xin’s facial expression remained unchanged, but a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

“So, status is that important in your eyes? Then do you know who you just slandered? She is the Ling family’s young princess, yet you describe her with such disgusting thoughts. Doesn’t that deserve punishment?”

Wen Xin’s disdainful smile made the surrounding people pause, reconsidering their actions. “Here, let me clarify on behalf of Ling Xu’er: she is healthy in both body and mind. As for what you heard about her in the past, Ling Xu’er was framed. If you’re interested in the details, pay attention to the statement the Ling family will release tomorrow! ”

Wen Xin didn’t want to waste words on these big-breasted and brainless women. She walked over to Ling Xu’er, took her hand, and prepared to leave.

“Countryside bumpkin, don’t you think your argument is laughable? The Ling family hasn’t denied these allegations, and the Wei family’s eldest miss, the victim of the incident, underwent psychological therapy for a while. Do you think a few words from you can clear her name?”

Despite some fearing Ling Xu’er’s status, their disdain for Wen Xin came from deep within; they wouldn’t allow Wen Xin to intimidate them.

“Clear her name? Do you think that’s necessary? I’m simply seeking justice for someone who was falsely accused. Would you like to bring Wei Shisheng here for a confrontation?”

Wen Xin’s icy gaze and fearless demeanor made the crowd hesitant, beginning to doubt if there was more to the story.

“Country bumpkin, you…” Naturally, the woman couldn’t summon Wei Shisheng; the Wei family’s miss is of a status not to be summoned lightly, especially over past grievances.

“Enough, stop making a scene. This is embarrassing. Let’s go, don’t cause any more trouble!”

Wen Zhimo hadn’t expected Wen Xin to physically confront someone at the banquet and now just wanted to take her away before the Song family came looking for her and caused even more trouble.

Ling Xu’er, holding Wen Xin’s hand tightly, was moved by Wen Xin’s protective stance. She wanted to defend Wen Xin, to say something.

But at that moment, she couldn’t utter a word.

She thought she was mentally prepared to face the incident, but it hung over her like a dark cloud, difficult to overcome.

Wen Xin glanced at Wen Zhimo, walked over to Ling Xu’er, and gently patted her head, “You’re already very brave, having overcome your psychological shadow. Justice may be late, but it has arrived. Let’s go.”

As Wen Xin and Ling Xu’er turned to leave, the women behind them thought Wen Xin was retreating. One of them sneered.

“Country bumpkin, are you leaving? Not staying to fish for a wealthy husband?” “Wealthy husband? Remember what you said, and don’t regret it later!”

Ling Xu’er, unable to bear Wen Xin being mocked, let her innate pride burst forth.

She didn’t need Wen Xin to shield her; her status alone was enough to suppress those around her.

Releasing Wen Xin’s hand, Ling Xu’er turned to face the woman who had spoken, mimicking Wen Xin’s expression, raising an eyebrow and smirking disdainfully.

“You keep saying ‘country bumpkin’ as if I’ve given you too much face. If you don’t want to continue at the banquet, I can arrange for security to escort you out. And, daring to insinuate she’s after a wealthy husband, are you not afraid that the ‘wealthy husband’ you mock could easily ruin your family?”

After speaking, Ling Xu’er winked at the woman, her gaze full of warning.

“Miss Ling… I… We didn’t say anything wrong. It was Mrs. Ma who said she was a country girl. If she’s from the countryside, what is she if not a bumpkin? And her seductive appearance…”

The woman’s voice trailed off as her eyes widened in disbelief at the scene unfolding before her.

Not just her, but everyone around was staring, their eyes wide with shock.

What did they see?

The Crown Prince of the capital had appeared.

Not only had he appeared among the crowd, but he also stood by Wen Xin’s side, his long arm naturally wrapping around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

“What are you all doing here? Grandma just arrived, and I escorted her to the lounge. What’s happening here that’s causing such a commotion?”

Mu Chengxi looked down at Wen Xin with tender eyes, his affection almost spilling out.

This scene shattered everyone’s perceptions. The Crown Prince, known for his distance from women, was now displaying such warmth, a revelation more shocking than the sky falling.

“Ah!” Caught off guard by Mu Chengxi’s question, Wen Xin wasn’t sure how to respond. She smiled lightly, her bright eyes sweeping over the crowd.

“They called me a bumpkin and…”

Thinking of something, a mischievous grin spread across Wen Xin’s face.

“And what?” Mu Chengxi, captivated by the rare playful expression on Wen Xin’s beautiful face, would have kissed her if not for the crowd.

“And they said you were a turtle…” Wen Xin couldn’t help but laugh.

As Wen Xin spoke, Mu Chengxi’s demeanor turned cold, his tender gaze replaced by a dangerous chill.

“Bumpkin? Turtle?”

With each word Mu Chengxi uttered, the hearts of those around him sank. They wanted to explain, but they had no ground to stand on; they were the ones who insulted Wen Xin and called Mu Chengxi a wealthy husband…

“Master Xi, we… It was Mrs. Ma who first said this lady came from the countryside and told her not to embarrass herself here. W-We may have been wrong, but we were misled!”

Another woman tried to defend their actions, believing they had been misled by Wen Zhimo’s words; it wasn’t entirely their fault.

“Mu Bei, check the surveillance. Whoever offended my fiancée, no need for explanations, just crush them!”

Hearing the words ‘crush them’, those who had troubled Wen Xin turned pale, not anticipating that they had offended Mu Chengxi..

“Master Xi, we realize our mistake…”

“Mistake? Where is the mistake? Is it in bullying my fiancée or in calling me a turtle? No need to explain to me. Go have a good talk with your family head!”

Mu Chengxi gave no further chance for them to speak, his gaze coldly sweeping past Wen Zhimo standing nearby.

He was aware of the relationship between Wen Zhimo and Wen Xin, and given this connection, there was little he could do.

The term ‘fiancée’ coming from Mu Chengxi’s mouth stunned everyone present. They could see Mu Chengxi’s affection for Wen Xin, but the status of a fiancée was not something just anyone could claim..
