Chi Enen calmly apologized and reached out to pull her up, "Sorry, I didnât mean to, I didnât see you in front, are you okay?"
Scarlett was fuming, wishing she could point at her nose and call her a liar!
They were just talking earlier, how could Chi Enen not have seen her in front?
Chi Enen tripped her on purpose just now!
Yet ironically, she couldnât say a word of this. Itâs not that she didnât dare to, she just couldnât! Because saying it would expose her own intention to frame Chi Enen!
However, clearly intending to fake a fall, she actually fell, and her knee was in extreme pain. Her heart was filled with anger and frustration, like a mute eating Coptisâbitter and unable to express it!
Although she knew other people were coming over soon and she should endure it, firmly insisting that Chi Enen tripped her on purpose, she was after all quite young and had been doted on since childhood, never having suffered such a loss. Adding to this, Chi Enen calmly came over to help her up, seemingly truly unintentional, and she was even more furious, losing control of herself. She reached out and slapped away Chi Enenâs hand, "I donât need your fake kindness!"
Just at that moment, everyone rushed over.
They happened to see her slap Chi Enenâs hand away.
And heard how hard she slapped, the sound echoing from Chi Enenâs hand.
The old butler immediately put on a stern face, not showing obvious anger, but it was clear that his attitude towards Scarlett became much more distant. He turned his head and asked, "Miss Chi, what happened?"
He didnât ask Scarlett first, but directly asked Chi Enen, effectively giving the initiative to Chi Enen.
Chi Enen wasnât foolish, she spoke apologetically before Scarlett could, "I was just walking behind and didnât notice that Your Highness had stopped, accidentally tripping Her Highness. Sorry, Your Highness."
Wasnât this princess claiming that she tripped her on purpose?
If she was going to be blamed regardless, why not truly make a move?
At least, it would feel better mentally while taking the blame.
She preemptively defined it as an âaccidental tripâ, making it difficult for Scarlett to insist it was intentional! Assisted by two female officers, she stood up, the corner of her mouth twitching, looking at Chi Enen, her eyes full of anger, yet she had to restrain herself, "Itâs okay. I just bumped my knee, itâs not a big deal."
Though she said this, everyone else saw the force with which she slapped away Chi Enenâs hand, clearly not matching her current composure.
The servants understood the situation regarding this princess and kept their eyes down, not saying a word.
The old butler already considered Chi Enen as the future Young Lady, essentially as part of the Li family. As the butler of the Li family, seeing his masterâs âbullyingâ, his attitude naturally wasnât friendly, he said coldly, "Since Your Highness is injured, itâs better not to stroll around, Iâll help find a doctor for you."
Scarlettâs knee was killing her, yet she had to put on a brave front, "No need, my knee isnât that serious..."
The two female officers beside her worriedly advised, "Your Highness, please let the doctor take a look."
"Yes, please let the doctor check your knee. If the wound gets infected, it would be bad."
Scarlett reluctantly agreed, "Alright. Thank you for the trouble."
The old butler indifferently said, "Itâs my duty, Your Highness."
