For Lin Cheng's words, Karina was indifferent. He showed unlimited maintenance and indulgence towards Qiao Ying. Even when Qiao Ying did such a cruel and terrible thing as skinning a cat, he still liked her.
"Princess, should I pay double the cat's price, or pay you a cat just like that one?" Lin Cheng said breezily.
Karina couldn't believe it: "The Duke said he would compensate? Doesn't the Duke have anything to say about doing such an evil thing to his girlfriend?"
Karina: "Isn't the Duke scared of her? Aren't you afraid that all the cats and dogs in your house will suffer the same torture and killing by her?"
Lin Cheng: "Of course not. Hurting animals is wrong, but as long as she is happy, I will do more good deeds to atone for her sins."
After Lin Cheng said this.
Karina was a little dumbfounded: "What?"
Someone couldn't stand to listen anymore—
"It's just skinning a cat, what's the big deal? Isn't it too timid and making a mountain out of a molehill?" Qin Hanyue's voice was cold, and his eyes fell on Karina's face, exerting invisible pressure: "Isn't the butcher who slaughters pigs in the slaughterhouse a demon who deserves to die?"
Karina: "But this is my cat, the royal cat. She is not just killing a cat, she is provoking the dignity of the entire royal family."
At this time, Qin Hanyue received a hint from Qiao Ying's eyes, and he thought about it before asking Karina, "So what do you want to do about it?"
"Apologize to me, and I want her to hold the cat's corpse and walk around C Country's busiest street to atone for her sins."
After walking around like this, let's see if Lin Cheng can still withstand the pressure from his family and the whole country to marry this vicious woman.
At this point, Qiao Ying spoke up: "That's it? Isn't that letting me off too easily? Why not chop off a hand or something?" Her tone was light.
Karina: "If you can atone for the cat like this, it would be best." In her heart, she wondered if Qiao Ying was reckless because she relied on Lin Cheng's ignorance, or if there was some other intention.
Karina didn't understand what she meant by "you have": "You have?"
Qiao Ying turned around and went back to the room to get a laptop, she opened the laptop, cradling it with one hand, and started tapping the keyboard.
Qin Hanyue: "Let me do it, Miss Qiao."
With his identity, these people dare not say anything if he does this.
If it was Qiao Ying, who knows what Karina would make a fuss about.
But Qiao Ying naturally refused him with her fearless personality.
Qin Hanyue then said, "Then let me hold the laptop for Miss Qiao."
Lin Cheng: "Let me do it."
Qin Hanyue's outstretched hands stopped in mid-air, and his not so friendly gaze silently collided with Lin Cheng's. Lin Cheng smiled back kindly.
Lin Cheng held the laptop for Qiao Ying.
Watching Qiao Ying's flying keystrokes, Karina didn't know what she was trying to do. Did she mean that she had surveillance footage?
How could she possibly have surveillance footage.
She looked at Qiao Ying, who was calm and unperturbed by all this, and began to feel uneasy as the keyboard clattered loudly.
The keyboard sounds stopped.
Qiao Ying held up the laptop with one hand and turned the screen to Karina.
"The person who lost the cat looks very similar to the princess's maid," she said, glancing at the maid next to Karina.
Karina's expression changed when she looked closely.
On the screen, there were multiple surveillance footage clearly showing the maid sneakily carrying a box to Qiao Ying's door.
Although the surveillance blind spots didn't capture the maid hanging the cat on the door, Qiao Ying had found footage of the maid skinning the cat somewhere else, and it was on the screen.
Not only did she find these two surveillance videos, but she also found all the surveillance covering the maid's route after skinning the cat, from the backyard all the way to Qiao Ying's room door, and even to the maid's subsequent trip to Karina's palace. Everything was recorded clearly.
Lin Cheng's eyes were cold: "Does Princess Karina have anything to say about this?" Although his tone didn't change much, it was clear that he was angry.
Karina's expression became hard to maintain, and her face was frozen.
The maid next to her collapsed to her knees as expected, taking all the blame.
"I couldn't stand to see the princess sad and heartbroken, so I came up with this method to vent her anger. It was all me," the maid stammered in fright, even her crying voice came out.
But she knew that if she didn't take the fall, her fate would be even worse.
Karina kicked the maid over, stepping heavily, more like kicking her as a substitute for Qiao Ying.
She then said to Lin Cheng, "It is my fault for not disciplining her strictly. I will definitely punish her accordingly and apologize for the disturbance."
After speaking, she turned to leave with the maid.
"Wait a minute," Lin Cheng stopped them.
"Princess Karina's servant slandered my girlfriend like this. Now that the truth is out, you don't even have an apology and want to just leave like this?" Lin Cheng then ordered his men, "Go get the king."
Karina: "So what does the Duke want to do?"
Lin Cheng: "Xiao Yin, you say."
Qiao Ying looked coldly at Karina: "You, apologize to me, she, hold the cat and parade through the streets, after parading, bring me her hands."
Karina: "Apologize to you? Ridiculous."
Qiao Ying: "No need to apologize either. In 5 minutes, these videos, including everything that just happened, will appear on the largest LED screens in your city. C Country’s citizens will naturally give me justice."
Karina's face was ugly: "You dare threaten me?"
Only now did Karina realize that she had underestimated her.
She didn't expect Qiao Ying to have such capabilities.
Qiao Ying: "I'm not taking your hands and feet, it's already giving Lin Cheng face."
Qin Hanyue: "It's understandable for a servant to vent her master's anger, but choosing to kill the master's cat and frame others is a bit over the top, isn't it? Not very reasonable. Since it concerns Miss Qiao's reputation and the royal family's dignity, I think we should investigate it more clearly and not wrongly accuse anyone."
As soon as Qin Hanyue said this, Karina's sharp gaze turned to him immediately.
Everyone knew very well whether it was the maid alone or someone had instructed her.
Karina was left with no way out for the moment.
The atmosphere began to become tense.
After a while, Karina spoke expressionlessly, "I'm very sorry Miss Qiao, it was my servant who slandered you. I will give Miss Qiao and the Duke an explanation for today's matter. Please forgive us."
The attitude was quite sincere, knowing when to yield, not stupid.
Qiao Ying was not very appreciative: "Keep your people in line. If I'm in a bad mood one day and my hand shakes, these surveillance videos may just fly all over the sky."
Karina stared at Qiao Ying for two seconds. Although she didn't say anything, she must have hated Qiao Ying and wanted to kill her to vent her anger.
Karina left in anger.
Hearing the sound, Princess Kala came over. Seeing Qin Hanyue, she was about to step forward, but then saw Qin Hanyue sneakily holding Qiao Ying's hand.
Kala was stunned.
