Su Yan didn't even lift her eyelids as she walked back into the house along the path she had come from.

Qiu Shi's face trembled with anger at being ignored like this.

She looked at the strips of paper hanging in the wind, a ruthless glint in her eyes.

After an incense stick had burned, the door to the sleeping quarters was suddenly kicked open.

Because the Third Prince and the Southern Tang were not present, Qiu Shi, who was originally a first-class palace maid, suddenly became arrogant.

She held up her skirt with one hand, and clutched something unidentifiable in the other.

With a smug look on his face, he swaggered in.

Su Yan remained seated in the chair, head down, motionless.

Qiu Shi walked over, *smack!*

He picked up the pile of scraps of paper from his hand and slammed them onto the table.

"Su Yan, how dare you!"

His tone was sharp and his imposing manner was intimidating.

Upon hearing the sound, Su Yan hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Qiu Shi.

She seemed dazed for a moment, her gaze drifting towards the gloomy sky outside.

A cool breeze occasionally blew in through the door, chilling the air and making one shiver.

Qiu Shi sneered

"Having an affair with an outsider, do you know how serious that crime is? If His Highness finds out, even being skinned alive wouldn't be enough!"

Qiu Shi's words were buzzing in her ears.

Su Yan felt that the irritation in her heart was about to become unbearable.

Qiu Shi saw that she remained silent for a long time, her face blank.

With a bang, he slammed his hand on the table again.

The shock caused the papers on the table to scatter.

Qiu Shi squinted, his expression cold and stern.

"Let me tell you, this time, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save you! Come on! Let's go see Granny!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Su Yan's sleeve and pulled her outside.

Qiu Shi grabbed all the scraps of paper on the table.

"Come with me!"

The two of them pulled and tugged as they walked out of the bedchamber.

Their voices attracted the attention of many palace maids nearby.

Su Yan lowered her head and let her pull her along.

I had just stepped out of the door when, drip, drip, it started raining.

Su Yan looked up a few beats later.

She watched the raindrops falling continuously from the sky.

She closed her eyes, letting the raindrops fall on her face.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The incessant buzzing in my head finally disappeared.

She blinked, her eyes cold and aloof.

She stopped walking and pulled her hand away from his grasp.

She raised her fair palm, watching the raindrops fall, and whispered, almost in murmur.

"It's raining."

Seeing that Su Yan was resisting, Qiu Shi felt as if she had gained an opportunity.

"Su Yan, you spy! Let me tell you! With so many sisters here, are you still trying to deny it?!"

Su Yan listened to the voice and looked at Qiu Shi standing in front of her.

"Do you have any evidence to prove I'm a spy?"

Qiu Shi burst into laughter, and she raised her hand.

"These are the pieces of evidence you tore up, proving you were having an affair with outsiders! You have nothing to say now, right? Hahahaha!!"

Qiu Shi's laughter grew louder and louder. After she had laughed enough, she raised her hand to grab Su Yan's arm again.

"Come on! Follow me to see Granny!"

As he spoke, he pulled her outside.

But before he could take two steps, Su Yan broke free again.

Su Yan looked at the wad of paper in Qiu Shi's hand.

After a moment of silence, she spoke in a low voice, at a volume only the two of them could hear.

"You've been discovered, so you're going to die."

Qiu Shi sneered

"Who do you think you are? You dare to kill me in front of so many people? Let me tell you, if I die, you certainly won't survive either!!"

Just as Qiu Shi finished speaking, he heard Su Yan whisper a sentence.

"Kill her"
