The laudatory title “lecher” left everyone stunned on the spot, particularly Han Luoyun and Yang Jianye, whose faces registered pure shock.
A lecher? Who’s the lecher?
Moreover, these words were spoken by the dignified royal Princess Yanyu. What on earth was happening?
Yang Yanyu glared at Fang Lin, then turned around, with fists clenched in respect, addressed Yang Jianye tearfully, “Father, it’s this lecher. He molested me last night.”
On hearing this, other than Yang Pojun who already had a hint of the incident, and the direct subject of “lecher” Fang Lin, everyone else were dumbfounded, their expressions beyond words.
Was Fang Lin really the lecher mentioned by Princess Yanyu? Moreover, had he actually molested Princess Yanyu last night?
For a moment, everyone’s attention was on Fang Lin, making him feel incredibly embarrassed.
Fang Lin rubbed his nose and cleared his throat, “This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding.”
Yang Yanyu pointed at Fang Lin and demanded loudly, “You are a shameless lecher. Last night I saw you taking advantage of the absence of others and dared to lay a hand on me, the Princess. If I hadn’t stoutly refused, I would have been violated by you. ”
The crowd was dumbfounded by Princess Yanyu’s words since she seemed to say whatever came to her mind.
“Yanyu, don’t talk nonsense!” Yang Jianye rebuked her, frowning deeply. After all, if a royal princess kept talking about being molested, wouldn’t it be airing the family’s dirty laundry?
“Father, I need your help. I am an innocent maiden but was molested by Fang Lin. How could I live with this kind of reputation?” Yang Yanyu immediately yielded a pitiful face to her father.
Seeing this, Yang Jianye twitched in discomfort. Only a moment ago, you were shouting at the top of your lungs. Have you given any thought to your future?
However, he knew his daughter’s character quite well: she was quite a troublemaker, and he felt helpless dealing with this girl in daily life.
Yang Xuanfeng had been silent this whole time. Now his gaze turned to Fang Lin and asked with hostility, “Did you molest my sister?”
“Big brother is the best! You must take revenge for me and punish this lecher!” Yang Yanyu immediately clung to Yang Xuanfeng’s arm and said.
Yang Pojun quickly tried to appease, “This was all a misunderstanding! I was there at that time as well, Fang Lin didn’t mean to offend Yanyu, it was actually because…”
At this point, Yang Pojun was at a loss for words. It was because of what?
Should he say straight out that Fang Lin didn’t recognize Yang Yanyu as a girl because she didn’t look like one?
Yang Xuanfeng was unaffected by this, his overwhelming affection for his sister was well known. He pointed at Fang Lin and said, “How dare you molest a royal princess, you are really audacious!”
Fang Lin was now at a loss for words. This was such an unexpected disaster! But then again, he felt justified as, at that time, he truly could not discern whether Princess Yanyu was a male or female, and thought she was a handsome prince.
To his surprise, she turned out to be a princess, and not just any princess, but an extremely troublesome one.
Fang Lin chuckled bitterly, “If I knew she was a woman, even as dumb as I am, I wouldn’t have dared to molest her.”
These words immediately angered Yang Yanyu. What did he mean by he wouldn’t molest her if he knew she was a woman? Was she, Yang Yanyu, really that horrible?
“That’s enough, I believe what my nephew has said,” Yang Jianye stepped in. If Yang Yanyu created more of a scene, it would turn this incident into a family dishonor.
Yang Yanyu grudgingly backed down, once Yang Jianye had spoken, she knew she couldn’t instigate more trouble.
Although Yang Yanyu had a headstrong and aggressive personality, in reality, the princess was quite adept at reading people. She knew very well that there was a limit to everything. Even though Yang Jianye loved her dearly, if she continued to pester him, he would eventually get mad at her.
Furthermore, Yang Yanyu had heard about Yang Wanshan getting reprimanded. She knew that Yang Jianye was not in a good mood now.
However, Yang Xuanfeng firmly believed that Fang Lin had molested Yang Yanyu. He initially just wanted to have a friendly duel with Fang Lin but now, he decided to teach Fang Lin a severe lesson to get ‘justice’ for his sister.
Yang Yanyu looked smugly at Fang Lin. Her gaze seemed to convey the message to Fang Lin that her big brother would teach him a lesson.
Fang Lin was fuming in his heart. This damn girl dared to tarnish his reputation! He would certainly return the favor!
At that moment, Fang Lin stepped forward and said respectfully to Yang Jianye, “Your Highness, I have a request.”
Yang Jianye look intrigued, “What is your request nephew? Feel free to discuss it.”
Han Luoyun glanced at Fang Lin, wondering what he intended to do.
On the other hand, Yang Pojun, who had been through thick and thin with Fang Lin, had an ominous feeling seeing the expression on his face.
Fang Lin raised his head, looking slightly bashful, “I’ve fallen in love with Princess Yanyu at first sight. Could Your Highness grant me your permission to marry her?”
Once these words were spoken, the whole Golden Throne Hall was reduced to silence as if under some magic spell.
Immediately after, Yang Yanyu’s angry scream echoed, “Bastard! You shameless person!”
Fang Lin shrugged it off coolly, saying in a coy fashion, “Princess Yanyu is a rare woman of genuine character. I hope Your Highness will bless our union.”
Yang Jianye too was bewildered, how did this suddenly turn into a marriage proposal?
Yang Pojun held his head in his hands, indeed, this guy was up to his old tricks again.
It took Han Luoyun a moment to recover from the shock. A smile eventually finding its way onto his face.
Yang Xuanfeng was totally confused. What just happened? Why did Fang Lin suddenly propose out of the blue?
Only Yang Yanyu was the most enraged, this clearly seemed like Fang Lin was provoking her.
“Father, he is doing this on purpose. He needs to be severely punished!” Yang Yanyu said instantly. Her eyes glared fiercely at Fang Lin. If looks could kill, Fang Lin would have been dead hundreds of times over.
Yang Jianye was shrewd enough to understand that Fang Lin wanted to provoke Yang Yanyu. But upon thinking it over, his daughter had too strong a personality which was problematic for her future marital prospects. If Fang Lin were agreeable, why not seize the opportunity at hand?
With this in mind, Yang Jianye began sizing up Fang Lin again but this time as his prospective son-in-law.
His looks are not bad, good enough.
His aptitude is excellent, certainly much better than my daughter’s.
Even their social status matched up well: one being the princess of Daqian, the other the chosen one of the Purple Mist. They were the perfect match in all respects.
Fang Lin suddenly felt uneasy. Why was Yang Jianye looking at him in such a strange way?
“Your Highness, I think the two families can strengthen their bond through this marriage. Yanyu is already of marriageable age and Fang Lin is my disciple. I would like to propose marriage on his behalf to you,” Han Luoyun said with a smile.
