Everyone else had been dismissed by Chu Hongtao.
Since the Prince had left the banquet, the second and third uncle's families, having lost interest, had also left one after another.
When the music ended and the crowd dispersed, only Chu Hongtao's family remained in the entire venue.
"Grand Tutor, the Princess is the Prince's person, and if punishment is warranted, it should be the Prince himself who deals with it, not the Grand Tutor!"
With the Prince and Qing Ming gone, Chu Qianli suddenly found herself at a disadvantage.
Although Qianqian stood up for Chu Qianli, she was just a maid, with no significant influence.
Indeed, the moment Qianqian's words left her lips, someone abruptly stepped forward and swung a hand toward her.
"A mere maid dares to talk back to the Grand Tutor? Are you tired of living?"
Chu Feixue slapped Qianqian forcefully with an open hand.
However, before her fingers could even touch Qianqian's face, Chu Qianli firmly caught her hand.
