Han Fai Fai actually did not want to judge her subordinates. But in front of so many eyes, she needed to at least please the crowd and act fair. She looked at the boy coldly. Once he saw her looking, the deaf boy shivered and hid behind Han Wu Xia.

Han Fai Fai was very concerned about Feng Xinya, she occasionally stole glimpses at him, she pondered whether he would look her way anytime around. She wanted him to be amazed by her because she put justice first before her own subordinates. For the last time, she looked to the side, hoping that his eyes would meet hers, but no they don’t her hope was gone.

“Xinya, the Princess is looking this way.” Li Yan broke a cold sweat because he saw her scowled, he was in a panic and ended up tugging Feng Xinya’s clothes, yet his best friend was too focused to even realize. He clicked his tongue before looking over and caught Feng Xinya observing the two strangers.

“Who are they?” Feng Xinya frowned, he felt a very familiar feeling when he looked at the two people who had their faces covered by the veil. “They are dressed like an ordinary young miss and master from a noble house, but why do I feel the aura of royals around them?”

“Young Miss, I really didn’t do it!” The cashier man kneeled.

Han Fai Fai was in a bad mood, she stomped her foot. She wanted to believe the subordinates that had served her and her mother for years but she knew that some of her subordinates were quite shrewd and greedy. But they were good at their job and kept the money going. “Silence! Do you want this Second Princess to punish you for being rude?”

“No… No, Young Miss…” The cashier man quivered.

Han Fai Fai humped. she looked over the boy's condition. Then she looked at Han Lian Ai. “You…” She felt familiar with her but was unable to recall who she was. Was she one of her friends? Or had she chanced across her at a party before? She wouldn't be able to tell since one of Hui Lei's specialties was disguise.

“What’s wrong, my Princess?”

“...Nothing.” Han Fai Fai tilted her head. “Must be my imagination.”

Han Lian Ai wondered if Han Fai Fai felt something about her, she was glad that her deceased master forced her to learn the art of disguise long ago, she was unable to master her when she was still Hui Lei, but, like this, it should be enough to fool the Second Princess.

“We had just finished our duty when we saw the boy walking out of the restaurant.” Yuzhu glanced at Qui nervously. “We asked him nicely if he already paid for the bun, but he kept silent while staring at us. Of course, we couldn’t let him go if he was a thief so-”

“Hold it!” Han Lian Ai suddenly interrupted.

“What is wrong?” Han Fai Fai frowned.

“I think that something is amiss here, is it true that he asked you nicely, boy?” Han Lian Ai asked the poor boy. Han Wu Xia immediately translated her words for the boy. The boy shook his head. “He said no, they didn’t ask him.”

“Wha… That boy, he is lying!”

“Is that so? Is there anyone here who can prove that the boy is saying the truth?” Han Lian asked the crowd. Since many of them were here since the start of the fight, some might have seen what actually happened.

At first, the crowd was silent because no one dared to speak and offend Concubine Yu’s people.

“No one?” Han Lian Ai understood human nature clearly. Her clear dark eyes saw through the horrified expression of the people in the crowd. “I see… It seems that the boy is lying then.”

Han Lian Ai slowly walked to Han Wu Xia.

Han Qu Xia could feel the dangerous aura she let out, it made him shiver. He grabbed the deaf boy and backed off. “You… What are you trying to do?”

“Judgment should be passed.” Han Lian Ai said coldly. Her eyes glinted dangerously as she stood just a few steps away from the deaf boy. Han Wu Xia felt that she might have been smirking behind that veil. “Do you know what happens to little thieves who pretend that they were wronged?”

The boy got even more scared. His complexion became pale and he gripped Han Wu Xia’s clothes tightly. But Han Lian Ai wouldn’t let him off.

“Their hand gets cut off.” Han Lian Ai said. In an instant, the atmosphere became heavy and the people around them broke out in cold sweat. “But, I don’t have sharp objects with me.”

In a flash, Han Lian Ai slapped the young boy.

Han Wu Xia's eyes widened. Not just him, Han Fai Fai, Feng Xinya, Li Yan, all held their breath. They were rendered speechless.

“Tell him to admit that he is the one who’s wrong and say sorry to the Princess and her men!” Han Lian Ai commanded Han Wu Xia.

Han Wu Xia frowned. He looked at the poor boy who stood near him. He didn't want to do what she told him to, but he had to before Han Lian Ai gave the boy another slap.

The boy gritted his teeth and shook his head.

“How stubborn.” Han Lian Ai cold voice was so cold, it might have been able to freeze the earth. She raised her hand in an attempt to give him another slap. Han Wu Xia wanted to push her away and stop her, but-

“Stop, that one isn’t the one who lied!” A brave child came up to the front before Han Wu Xia could do anything.

“Yea, yeah! I saw that man immediately beat him once he spotted him.” A woman tried to defend the boy too. “The man only told boy: Oi, you poor looking boy, how dare you set foot in our restaurant and ruin the view?”

“Yeah, I saw it too, he wasn’t asking him nicely at all. He took the boy’s collar and beat him up!”

“He did that and caused the ruckus!”

“Young noble lady, please don’t slap him anymore, he already got a lot of beating.” Because of Han Lian Ai provocation, everybody finally talked and defended the deaf boy.

“Is that so? The two men really misjudged then?” Han Lian Ai smirked.

“Damn, dammit!” Yuzhu gritted his teeth.

Han Fai Fai got a bit dizzy, she thought that they were going to get away with it. She wanted her subordinates to get away with this as soon as possible, but now, she had no choice but to punish them.

Han Wu Xia looked at Han Lian Ai in awe, he was shocked by the people’s reaction. A minute ago, they were silent about everything, but now, they bravely came forward and told the truth.
