Chapter 34

"Get your hands off her!"

A familiar voice called out to them and stopped Jia Yi from whatever she was about to do. Turning over to the direction of the voice, Yu Yingyi was surprised it wasn't Song Liya, instead, it was her twin sister, Song Feng Mian.

How was Yu Yingyi able to decipher that it was Song Feng Mian when she has a twin sister? It was because of the way she dressed, Song Liya dressed less formally while Song Feng Mian's clothing was more formal.

"My, my if it isn't the princess. I'm surprised you were able to come here quickly after the talk with your mother," said Jia Yi.

Yu Yingyi's eyes widened in surprise, 'She doesn't know that this was Liya's twin!' She locked eyes with Song Feng Mian, they both understood what to do.

"Don't talk as if you know my mother, moreover, let go of Yu Yingyi now." Song Feng Mian said imitating Liya's tone perfectly.

Yu Yingyi didn't even realize she was still pinned against the wall between Jia Yi's arms until she pointed it out.

"So scary~" Jia Yi teased. "Princess, if I were to kiss your prince right now, what would you do?"

"You wouldn't dare!" Song Feng Mian raised her voice.

Although Song Feng Mian said that, Yu Yingyi felt like Jia Yi would dare considering how Jia Yi was right now, there was no doubt about it.

"Of course I'd dare princess, what're you going to do? Use the skills you've learned at a young age and apprehend me? I don't think you want to do that to your name considering the talk you just had with your mother." said Jia Yi, though it felt more like a threat.

Whatever Jia Yi was talking about, it must've been important, Yu Yingyi knew that too. After all, this was the turning point in the novel where Song Liya marries a prince.

Yu Yingyi didn't want to happen no matter what, she wouldn't let it happen even if she had to go against the imperial family or reveal her true identity/.

She was resolute on Song Liya not marrying a real prince, Song Liya belonged to her, no one else.

Song Feng Mian didn't know what to say since she didn't know what Jia Yi was talking about except for Song Liya's training at a young age, that's when Yu Yingyi decided to step in.

"Jia Yi," she said sternly as she stared into Jia Yi's eyes. "What do you want?"

"You, of course." Jia Yi instantly replied.

"Fine, I accept your confession then."

"Really?"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie would I?"

"Prove it to me."

Song Feng Mian was staring at the two mutter words at each other when Yu Yingyi suddenly started leaning in with a hand on Jia Yi's cheek. Right when she thought Yu Yingyi was going to kiss Jia Yi, she suddenly pinched Jia Yi's cheek, slapped it lightly, and started dashing towards her.

Song Feng Mian's mind took a few seconds to process what was going on until everything hit, Yu Yingyi was escaping! Pulling Yu Yingyi's hand and bringing her behind her as they watched the stunned Jia Yi.

"You, did you get your cunningness from the princess?" asked Jia Yi in amazement.

Yu Yingyi would've thought Jia Yi was going to be angry, but there was only a smile on her face.

"Yu Yingyi, do you know why Jia Yi has a smile on her face when she literally just got slapped?" asked Song Feng Mian.

"How should I know? I'm thinking the same thing as you right now, a normal person who just got slapped wouldn't smile." Yu Yingyi replied.

"Does she seem like a normal person to you?!"

"Nope, considering everything she's done, she's far from normal."

That's when Yu Yingyi recalled what Jia Yi said to her before, that she was the same as Song Liya.

"Don't tell me...they're both perverts?!"

"What ideas are you thinking of!?"

However, this might actually be the case since masochists do like pain inflicted on them. For a moment, Yu Yingyi swore she saw a huge blush appear on Jia Yi but shook it off as her imagination.

"I'm being serious right now Feng Mian, there's a high chance that Jia Yi is a pervert, a masochist to be exact. She said she was the same as Song Liya but a bit different which means she's a pervert but she's a masochist." Yu Yingyi explained.

"Wait, before that, how do you view my sister?"

As they were discussing, Jia Yi was walking towards them with a smile on her face trying to hide the excitement she felt when the prince slapped her, she wanted more of it.

Luckily, Yu Yingyi caught Jia Yi's movement and called out to her. "Stay where you are or else I'll call the guards!"

"What will the guards do? You're forgetting I'm the maid hired by the empress herself, who would dare do anything to me? Unless it's you Prince Yingyi who'll apprehend me, I'll gladly let you do so." said Jia Yi.

"She really is a masochist!" Song Feng Mian muttered in disbelief. "I told you so!"

"Jia Yi, I'm being serious, don't move from where you are. If you stay there, I'll apprehend you," said Yu Yingyi taking a gamble.

"Is that so? Then I shall stay where I am," said Jia Yi.

Yu Yingyi mentally sighed, at this point, Jia Yi was literally obsessed with her and wanted her to inflict pain onto her. The love Jia Yi said from the beginning was completely fake. In reality, it was actually her desires and infatuation.

"Should I apprehend her?" Yu Yingyi asked worriedly.

"Is there any other choice?" asked Song Feng Mian.

"I guess not, but do you know how to knock her out in one swift move?"

"Hmm, I can probably do that, I've researched a few techniques before and I think I could perform it easily."

"I see, then make sure to do that once I have Jia Yi secured."

"Got it."

Somehow, this feels like it was an important mission, like hunting down a villain causing chaos for her.

As Yu Yingyi started walking closer towards Jia Yi, she could see Jia Yi's smile grow wider and wider at the fact that she was going to apprehend her.

'I'll just get this over with quickly.'

In a swift move, Yu Yingyi pulled Jia Yi's arms back, made her lower herself, and pressed her knee onto her back which forced Jia Yi to stay down.

Yu Yingyi could've sworn she heard a moan coming out of Jia Yi.

"Feng Mian!" she called out.

Song Feng Mian was right on time, kneeling down, she curled her fingers into a fist and slammed it into Jia Yi's stomach with all her strength.

"Puh..!" was the last thing coming out of Jia Yi's mouth as she went limp in Yu Yingyi's grip.

"You...you just punched her." Yu Yingyi said in disbelief.

"Yeah, you did tell me you wanted me to knock her out in one swift move, so that's what I did."

"I didn't think you were-"

"What's going on here?"
