The people present couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust when looking at Mrs. Ye who looked like a shrew!
These nobles all thought they had received good etiquette instruction, and when they saw that Madam Ye had disregarded her own reputation for her son, they couldn't help but feel ashamed for her.
"I've heard that the eldest lady of the Defei family is a tigress. Today, I saw that it was indeed true!"
"That's right! But did you see that Master Fiennes would actually help that guy named Su?"
"How rare! I thought Master Fiennes would be happy to see a joke on his sister's behalf!"
Su Wan could hear other people's discussions all around her, but she had no time to pay attention.
She stared at Fiennes in a daze, never expecting that the person who stood up for her would be this man.
Fiennes was seen wearing a low-key yet luxurious custom-made suit with a Windsor tie tied meticulously, his features handsome yet dignified.
As if he noticed Su Wan's gaze, Fiennes's deep blue eyes flickered, and a hint of mischief appeared at the corners of his slightly raised mouth.
Su Wan had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She always felt that she was not very familiar with Fiennes, and could not even be called a friend.
But at least Fiennes helped her out, otherwise that slap would have landed on her face.
In this regard, Su Wan was still very grateful.
"Thanks."
Fiennes had an impeccable smile on his face and was polite.
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake!"
Seeing Su Wan and Fiennes being so polite, Mrs. Ye felt even more angry and filled with rage!
She glared at Su Wan with resentment and spoke angrily to Fiennes.
"Master Fiennes, let go of my hand! You actually defended this vixen. Have you also been bewitched by her?!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Ye's eyes widened as if they were about to bulge out. Her face, which originally still had some charm, now had veins popping out, and her eyes were flashing with viciousness and resentment.
Fiennes glanced at Mrs. Ye in a gentle voice.
"Mrs. Ye, don't forget that today is the day to welcome the high priest. If you act like this, it can be considered as disrupting the normal order of the banquet, right?"
"If I don't stop you, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for you to be dragged out by the guards later?"
Mrs. Ye didn't expect that Fiennes would be so eloquent, and his words implied that he wanted her to appreciate him!
Pooh!
Mrs. Ye thought of her son who was still sick and half-crippled in the hospital, and she had no place to vent the anger in her heart.
Just seeing Fiennes's dignified face, Mrs. Ye suddenly remembered her identity and Fiennes' reminder.
Her face turned red and white in anger.
When Fiennes saw Mrs. Ye wake up, he raised the corner of his lips slightly and began to try to smooth things over between Su Wan and Mrs. Ye.
"Since you have figured it out, Madam Ye, why don't we just pretend nothing happened today? How about that?"
Fiennes spoke slowly, but his tone somehow managed to soothe a roar.
Hearing Fiennes's light words, Mrs. Ye frowned. She glanced at Su Wan, who was safe and sound, with not even a strand of hair out of place, and suddenly felt unhappy!
Seeing this vixen right in front of her, she actually pretended that nothing had happened? !
Mrs. Ye's slightly plump body was shaking violently, and her emotions were fluctuating strongly.
Just as Mrs. Ye was feeling conflicted, she suddenly heard a sweet yet somewhat resentful cry.
"Brother, why are you here?!"
When Su Wan heard the familiar female voice, his brows subconsciously frowned.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tia running towards her with her skirt lifted up. She was wearing a red dress that was as bright as a flower and extremely ostentatious.
And those amber eyes were looking at him unceremoniously.
With full of hostility.
Of course, Tia knew Mrs. Ye. She glanced at the three people present and spoke indignantly.
“Brother, looking at this posture, you are not begging for Su Wan?!”
When Mrs. Ye saw Tia's weird look, she immediately realized that Tia was on the same side as her.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Although Mrs. Ye usually disliked Diya's arrogant and spoiled behavior, today she found this young lady particularly pleasing to the eye!
Much better than her brother Fiennes!
Madam Ye immediately stood with Diya and glared at Su Wan.
Fiennes couldn't help feeling helpless. He had finally managed to calm Mrs. Ye down a little. Why on earth was his sister causing such trouble
However, Fiennes also knew that because of the Emperor's son, his sister and Su Wan were incompatible.
"Tia, stop making trouble."
Tia rolled her eyes, a look of grievance on her face.
"Mrs. Ye, you see, some people are good at deceiving people. I know you are feeling bad right now. Can I help you sit for a while?"
Mrs. Ye was flattered when she heard this. At this moment, she and Diya Jing developed a sense of mutual understanding.
Fiennes didn't expect that Tia didn't do anything. Generally speaking, his sister's personality was that of someone who wanted nothing more than to stir up trouble.
Just as Fiennes was surprised, he suddenly heard Tia exclaim.
Su Wan frowned, not understanding what this rich young lady was up to.
She followed the gaze of Tia and Madam Ye and suddenly realized that something was wrong!
I saw a small string of tassels hanging from under my cushion.
It looks like a piece of jewelry hidden there accidentally showed a corner!
Mrs. Ye stretched out her well-maintained hand and instantly pulled out the string of jewelry, most of which was pressed under the cushion!
It turned out to be a pair of ruby earrings, carved with patterns using extremely exquisite techniques. They were gorgeous yet delicate, and the drooping tassels were particularly unique.
How did this jewelry end up under my cushion? !
Frame-up?!
Su Wan's mind skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
However, before she could sort out her thoughts, Mrs. Ye screamed!
"My ruby pendant! I brought it here specially to give to someone today. I thought it was lost. How come it is here!"
Mrs. Ye was obviously so angry that she even forgot who the guests seated here were.
Tia on the side curled her lips, immediately reached out and pushed Madam Ye, and reminded her lightly.
"Mrs. Ye, who is sitting in this seat?"
Although the tone of this sentence was not high, it sounded like a bolt from the blue to those who were paying close attention.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Su Wan.
Mrs. Ye was instantly enlightened!
"It's you! This is what a slutty woman who has never seen the world is like! Not only did she harm my son, but she also stole my jewelry!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Ye gritted her teeth, raised a glass of wine, and poured it directly at Su Wan!
