Even someone as proud as Xue Qingshang could become narrow-minded and mentally deranged.

Yu Jiao's words were nothing but a show of strength to Xue Qingshang. She was born with a favored imperial concubine like Xue Rong to protect her. She had always gotten whatever she wanted. She never had to lower herself to teach those who were annoying or disgusting to her a lesson. But this time, Xue Qingshang really wanted to teach the man in front of her a lesson herself.

The calmness and composure that Xue Qingshang had admired in Yu Jiao in the past, now seemed to her to be scheming and malicious.

How could a man as handsome as Yu Qizhe be willing to marry such a person? Xue Qingshang was saddened by Yu Qizhe's shortsightedness, and she hated him because Liu Yujiao got the man she had always dreamed of so easily.

Xue Qingshang's eyes turned red as she stared at Yu Jiao because of anger. She thought of Yang Yuanchen's daughter having an affair with a man in Xinglou. On that day, she wanted to help Liu Yujiao because she was Yu Qizhe's sister. Now, she thought that maybe she was being used.

She thought again of how she had worked hard in Xinglou to help Liu Yujiao promote her paper shop. Now it seemed that she was really foolish at the time. No wonder her elder sister always said that she was kind and harmless, did not understand those calculations and tricks, and wanted to find a simple family for her.

The more Xue Qingshang thought about it, the angrier she became. She could not tolerate being played like a fool.

Yu Jiao's indifference and calmness seemed to Xue Qingshang like she had nothing to fear at this moment.

Xue Qingshang raised her hands. She thought that if she didn't curb Liu Yujiao's arrogance today, this person would become even more proud in the future, thinking that anyone could be manipulated by her and that she could stir up trouble in Yu Qizhe's backyard in the future!

I should teach her some rules, so that she won't be unruly after marrying Yu Qizhe in the future.

When she saw Xue Qingshang was about to take action, Yu Jiao frowned slightly, a fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and even used her other hand to take out the silver needle hidden on her wrist. After seeing the magnificence and vastness of Liangzhou, Yu Jiao's mood changed a lot, and she removed a layer of shackles that she had worn in the Liu family's backyard.

She was restrained and cautious, not daring to make a mistake, which made her no longer seem like herself.

Zhu Yu made her realize the dangers of the imperial palace, and Yu Jiao was not unprepared when she entered the palace this time.

However, before Yu Jiao could make a move, Xue Qingshang's wrist had already been grabbed by someone. Yu Qizhe came over at some point. He was wearing a crimson round-necked official robe, his black hair was tied up, his expression was stern, his eyes were cold, he fiercely shook off Xue Qingshang's hand and stood in front of Yu Jiao, his tall figure completely blocking Yu Jiao's view.

He spoke in a cold voice, trying his best to suppress his anger: "Changle County Princess, please respect yourself."

Xue Qingshang's face turned pale. She had never expected that Yu Qizhe would show up at this time, and she had never expected that Yu Qizhe would see her about to hit someone. This made her feel embarrassed for a moment.

But then, Yu Qizhe's action of defending Yu Jiao made Xue Qingchang feel cold. She felt angry and wronged. She looked at Yu Qizhe and said, "You don't like her at all, why did you marry her?"

Yu Qizhe held Yu Jiao's hand. Xue Qingshang found this action very irritating, but Yu Qizhe's words made her heart hurt even more.

"Princess Changle is wrong. She has always been the one I love but cannot have." Yu Qizhe looked down at Yu Jiao, but his words were directed to Xue Qingshang.
