The people from Xu Manor arrived quickly and left even faster. As a result, almost everyone in the wedding procession wished they could immediately strangle Sito Rongyan, who clearly had no sense. Did she not realize what day it was to cause such a commotion?
"Ouyang Zixin, you bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Sito Rongyan continued to shout, drawing the attention of the onlookers towards Ouyang Zixin. Could it be that this girl had stolen the heart of someone from Sito Rongyan?
Ouyang Zixin felt her scalp tingle under the gazes and cursed the crazy woman in her heart as she pulled Liu Ying and Liu Lu away.
Seeing her attempt to leave, Sito Rongyan panicked and disregarded the rule against using Mysterious Energy within the capital. She pulled out her usual whip from her sleeve, infused it with Mysterious Energy, and lashed out.
The older women around her never expected she was hiding a Mystical Artifact, and they were all thrown aside, rolling on the ground in agony.
Some in the crowd were caught off guard and received a few lashes. Fortunately, Sito Rongyan was not completely deranged and did not use too much Mysterious Energy; she merely parted the crowd to get closer to Ouyang Zixin.
"I see where you're trying to go!" Sito Rongyan's eyes were filled with murderous intent as the Mystic Fox Tail Whip cracked loudly in her hand, advancing towards Ouyang Zixin.
Liu Lvy gasped and shielded Ouyang Zixin behind her, attempting to catch the soft whip with her bare hands.
"Get away!" Sito Rongyan was furious that someone had grabbed her whip; she wanted nothing more than to kill Ouyang Zixin right then and there.
Liu Ying stood by without intervening, believing that for someone like Sito Rongyan—who was spoiled and only knew flashy moves—Liu Lvy was more than enough to handle her.
More and more people gathered around, but Liu Lvy hesitated to use Mysterious Energy for fear of harming innocents. Unexpectedly, Sito Rongyan disregarded everything and increased her Mysterious Energy significantly.
"Go, knock her out and throw her in the carriage." Not only did Liu Ying think Sito Rongyan's behavior was disgraceful, but Ouyang Zixin also felt pressed for time and didn't want to waste it dealing with her.
Liu Ying nodded and swiftly retreated into the crowd, preparing to sneak up on Sito Rongyan from behind.
"You act recklessly without considering the consequences. Have you thought about how it might affect your family?" Ouyang Zixin's words were not out of kindness; she simply wanted to avoid being dragged into this mess. It seemed that Xu Manor's people had already noticed that Sito Rongyan was targeting her.
"Hmph, family? They don't care about my feelings and are marrying me off at will. If I die today, I will take you down with me!" At this point, Sito Rongyan could hardly think straight. With a sinister grin, it seemed she could already envision Ouyang Zixin dying before her eyes.
Her frenzied whispers sent chills down people's spines. Ouyang Zixin frowned at this madwoman, wondering what had happened for her to change so drastically in such a short time.
"Ha ha. She was always a lunatic." A girl stepped out of the crowd, mocking Sito Rongyan; this person was Zhao Feiyu.
"If she weren't completely insane, how could she have killed so many of my family's guards?" Zhao Feiyu felt no sympathy for Sito Rongyan's fate today. In fact, she thought it was a shame that Sito could even get married.
"It's you." Ouyang Zixin remembered Zhao Feiyu; it seemed she had been let go by Yun Tianmo at Lingchi Peak, and now she had safely returned to the capital. But how did she end up here?
"I'm just here to watch the show. I didn't expect it to be even more exciting than I imagined." Clapping her hands, Zhao Feiyu's eyes were filled with disdain. Just as Sito Rongyan wanted Ouyang Zixin dead, Zhao Feiyu wished for Sito Rongyan's demise.
"Zhao Feiyu! You're also a vile person. You two deserve a terrible fate!" Sito Rongyan noticed Zhao Feiyu and her eyes burned with double hatred.
"What on earth did we do to make her hate us so much?" Ouyang Zixin found it somewhat amusing; she knew nothing and yet had become the target of someone's hatred.
Zhao Feiyu turned to her and kindly explained, "Her marriage today is the bitter fruit sown back at Lingchi Peak. Instead of reflecting on herself, she blames us for everything."
At this moment, Liu Ying had successfully circled behind Sito Rongyan and swiftly struck her neck with a chop. By the time Sito realized what happened, she could only utter a word before rolling her eyes and fainting.
The matrons behind them finally got up from the ground and hurriedly lifted Sito onto the wedding carriage, bringing this farce to an end.
"The reason I targeted you that day was because she instigated it." As the crowd dispersed with the departing procession, Zhao Feiyu knew that Ouyang Zixin was heading to the palace today, so she walked alongside her at a leisurely pace.
Although Zhao Feiyu's words seemed to deflect responsibility, they were not entirely incorrect. She had never met Ouyang Zixin before; how could she have attacked her upon first meeting?
"So what?" Ouyang Zixin was somewhat wary of Zhao Feiyu. They had no friendship to speak of and even had some minor grievances; why would she initiate a conversation now?
Zhao Feiyu had come out today specifically to see Sito Rongyan's misfortune, and Ouyang Zixin happened to cross paths with her. Thus, in her view, perhaps it would be better to clear the air about some things.
"My methods may be ruthless, but compared to some people, they are probably much better." Glancing back at the direction in which the procession had gone, Zhao Feiyu wasn't sure if she was explaining herself to Ouyang Zixin or trying to convince herself.
"Miss..."
The young servant driving the carriage finally caught up. Ouyang Zixin didn't want to continue talking with Zhao Feiyu any longer; she casually said goodbye and got into the carriage, heading toward the palace.
Zhao Feiyu stood alone in the street for a moment before turning back.
"What do you think that Zhao Feiyu means?" Sitting in the carriage with her head propped up, Ouyang Zixin felt a bit confused. Everything was fine, and now it had turned into this.
Liu Ying thought for a moment and said, "It might be a gesture of goodwill."
Ouyang Zixin shook her head; she didn't think Zhao Feiyu had any reason to show goodwill towards her.
"Then what could it be?" Liu Lvy also didn't understand what Zhao Feiyu meant.
Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes at Liu Lvy and replied irritably, "Am I asking you, or are you asking me?"
"Could it be related to the Royal Trading Company?" Liu Ying pondered. It seemed there had been news from the palace before, and Zhao Manor and Situ Manor were both members of the Royal Trading Company.
"Royal..."
"Miss, we've arrived." The young servant interrupted the three's conversation as the carriage came to a steady stop.
Since they had arrived at the palace, the topic could only be put on hold for now. The three of them got out of the carriage and instructed the young servant to wait outside. They had no idea what awaited them inside the palace.
Ouyang Zixin certainly didn't think she was simply being called in to express gratitude.
