The expression on everyone’s face showed it was heartbreaking to watch; Li Chang Le raised the corners of her lips.

In the end, Tuoba Zhen lowered his head and continued to sip his tea. He said nothing since the inner struggles within the Li family were unrelated to him.

“Stop!” Suddenly, Gao Jin’s hand was held up by someone.

Gao Jin furiously shouted: “Li Wei Yang, how dare you?!”

“Biao ge, what are you trying to do to San di in broad daylight?” Li Wei Yang’s voice was smooth.

Gao Jin coldly smiled and said: “How is it your business?!”

Li Wei Yang calmly said: “Lao furen said to invite San di to He Xiang Yuan. What is Biao ge displeased about?”

Gao Jin’s expression turned stiff and at one point didn’t know what to say. After getting beaten up last time, he feared Li Wei Yang deep in his bones. If there weren’t this many people today, he was afraid his legs would have softened.

Gao Min suddenly walked over and stared sternly at Li Wei Yang, she said: “How dare you, to speak to my Er ge like that?”

Li Wei Yang’s rightful eyes blinked and she smilingly said: “I dare ask Biao jie, what rank is your Er ge?”

Gao Min was stunned. Gao Jin was a profligate, what rank did he have? On the side, Li Min Feng and his sister’s expression changed. Li Chang Le subconsciously touched her hair. Last time, in order to stay in the residence, she had to use extreme measures and therefore, had left behind a scar. Everytime she saw Li Wei Yang, it always reminded her where her scar came from and it made her resentful, she calmly said: “Biao jie, San mei’s meaning is that she is the great Anping Xianzhu, Biao ge is unqualified to speak to her.”

Saying this, it implied how domineering Li Wei Yang was. Fifth Prince frowned and said: “Merely a second-ranked Anping Xianzhu, how dare you utter those words?!”

Fifth Prince’s eyes kept focusing on Li Chang Le. Li Wei Yang never expected him to say something good. Listening up to here, she lightly smiled: “Fifth Prince, how could you think second rank is too low? Oh, to Wei Yang, the Emperor’s reward is already sufficient. Deep inside, I never yearned for first rank. No matter what rank, all are conferred by the Emperor, don’t you agree with this?”

Tuoba Rui was displeased, “Li Wei Yang, don’t take a yard when given an inch.”

“Fifth Prince is saying Wei Yang is taking a yard when given an inch, I am very terrified.” Li Wei Yang leisurely said, a slight mockery flowed out from her pitch black eyes.

Tuoba Rui, you probably had forgotten where the entrance to the imperial palace was with your infatuation with Li Chang Le. No matter how worthless the title of Anping Xianzhu was, it was still conferred by the Emperor. To be conferred the title of Xianzhu, as an official’s daughter, she was perhaps the only one in the world. The authority of the Emperor, even the prince couldn’t act arrogance towards it.

Of course, Tuoba Zhen coughed: “Wu di, Anping Xianzhu is right. Her position as Xianzhu was conferred by our imperial Father. Gao Gongzi should definitely not have shouted in front of her.” As he spoke, his vision couldn’t help but fall onto Li Wei Yang, his voice lowered: “Wu di was impulsive, I hope Xianzhu wouldn’t blame him.”
