Chapter 133: Madness

"Bullying you?"

As more and more people gathered around, Su Wanxin's eyes lit up and she immediately cried out.

"Yes, normally, any fun or exquisite items go first to my elder sister. I don't know what she's unhappy about. She snatches jewelry from me every day, and even stole the begonia hairpin that Mother gave me. She doesn't like fish, but she makes me pick out fish bones for her. I've endured all of that, but I still don't know what she's unhappy about. Today, she invited me to a restaurant, locked the door, and took a needle, pricking me all over. Your Highness, I really can't take it anymore! Please, Your Highness, do me justice!"

She buried her face in her sleeves and cried bitterly.

Yun Fanjing watched as more and more people gathered around her, and she was really unhappy with her actions.

Although she was a princess, she couldn't meddle in other people's family affairs. Moreover, she couldn't conclude that Su Wanyin had bullied her based on just one side of the story.

"I am not the magistrate and cannot adjudicate your case. If you truly have been wronged, how about I send someone to report it to the authorities on your behalf?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxin paused in her sobbing, then raised her head and looked at the person in front of her with some surprise.

Then, she lowered her head again and said aggrievedly, "I know Your Highness doesn't want to offend my sister's family, so I'll just swallow this grievance."

"When did I..." Yun Fanjing couldn't help but blurt out as she listened to the tea-scented words.

"All these things you've mentioned, you did to your older sister, didn't you?" Jingwu reached out and pulled the woman kneeling on the ground, her eyes slightly curved, a half-smile on her face.

Her clothes were disheveled, revealing large areas of skin, and there were several small needle marks on her shoulder.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the woman standing beside the princess, Su Wanxin didn't dare to speak rashly and first asked about the woman's identity.

"You said that your older sister is given priority in food, clothing and daily necessities, but after your mother entered the family, she was given all the power to manage the household. Would your mother really mistreat her own daughter?"

Jingwu didn't answer her question, and continued talking to himself.

She didn't want to get involved, but this woman was acting erratically, trying to drag her older cousin into it one minute, and then trying to drag the princess down with her the next. Her behavior was utterly repulsive.

Seeing the panic on her face, he continued, "You said she stole your jewelry, the begonia hairpin your mother gave you. But you didn't mention a word about how your mother tricked her into giving her the begonia hairpin."

"No, that's not how it is." Su Wanxin finally realized what was happening. Hearing the whispers around her, she knew she couldn't let her continue. She stood up unsteadily: "Were you sent by my elder sister? Did she send you to ruin my reputation? Did she send you to distort the truth?"

Hearing this, Jingwu couldn't help but sneer: "These days, even telling the truth has become turning black into white? You say she's making things difficult for you, making you pick out fish bones for her, because you forced her to eat a whole fish that she didn't like before, making her vomit repeatedly. So these past few days, she's been retaliating by making you pick out fish bones, right?"

Su Wanxin's legs went weak, and she opened her mouth to argue, but the person in front of her continued.

"You said she pricked you with needles, isn't that because you used the excuse of making clothes for her to prick her several times before?" Jingwu slowly told her everything, looking at the woman in front of her with cold eyes.

"Su Wanxin, even if she isn't your biological sister, she's still your sister. How could you kill your own sibling! If I had listened to you just now, wouldn't I have wronged someone?"

Yun Fanjing didn't believe Su Wanxin's words, but she completely trusted Jing Wu's. At this moment, she also erupted, speaking angrily and forcefully.

"No, no, that's not how it is, Princess." Su Wanxin pointed at the girl in front of her, crying as she said, "She was sent by my elder sister to deliberately distort the truth and smear me, Princess, please don't believe her!"

"Sister, your acting is truly superb. I am absolutely amazed." Su Wanyin slowly walked out from the crowd. Her eyes were charming as she swept over the crowd and landed on the person who had fallen to the ground. She reached out to help her up: "The ground is cold. Sister, get up quickly."

As soon as Su Wanxin saw her, she immediately pried her hands away: "Don't touch me! You're going to kill me! Help! Your Highness, save me!"

“Sister, I am your own sister, how could I possibly kill you?” Su Wanyin took off her cloak and covered her with it: “Your clothes are disheveled, it would be bad if you lost your reputation.”

She gently patted her shoulder, but her eyes were icy cold.

"You're not my real sister! You're not Su Wanyin at all! Su Wanyin is naturally timid and easily frightened. How could it be you?!" Su Wanxin tore off the cloak and threw it on the ground. She stood up in a panic and tried to run to the other side.

Su Wanyin looked at her crazy appearance, a triumphant smile flashing in her eyes.

Immediately, she feigned a heartbroken expression and bowed to the princess, saying, "Your Highness, I am truly sorry for my rudeness. My sister has been having nightmares lately and I don't know what frightened her. This is what I have been doing, and I hope Your Highness will not take offense."

Yun Fanjing couldn't help but get goosebumps when she saw her mortal enemy making such a scene.

Although she knew that the person inside her body was not Su Wanyin herself, looking at this face still made it hard for her to accept.

She immediately waved her hand: "It's no fault, it's no fault. You should take her home quickly, it's chilly at night, don't let her catch a cold."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness." After saying that, Su Wanyin turned around and chased after the figure.

A smile played on her lips as she looked at the whispering crowd around her, feeling extremely pleased. Today's plan had succeeded.

Jingwu looked at her figure and couldn't help but rub his skin to get goosebumps.

She knew about the other face beneath her skin, but seeing such an innocent face making such seductive and affected movements was still hard for her to accept.

"Awu, that's terrifying!" As soon as the crowd dispersed, Yun Fanjing grabbed the hand of the person next to her. "I've known her for over ten years, and I've never seen her speak to me with such an expression."

Jingwu smirked and patted her hand in agreement. Just as he was about to speak, the surrounding people began to whisper among themselves.

"Was that girl from the Minister of Revenue's family? Is she a little mentally ill?"

"Oh dear! Who knows? The girl who came later said she was frightened and that's why she's acting crazy."

"Hey, do you think this crazy girl, appearing on the street so late at night with her clothes disheveled, has been bullied?"

"That's quite possible. Look at her when she first ran out; her clothes were disheveled and her hair was messy. It looked like she had been bullied."

"Oh dear, this girl's days are going to be tough."
