Chapter 67: Utilizing All Available Resources

Although Pei Yan belongs to the royal family, he cannot confront Chang Ning directly.

He stepped forward, clasped his fists respectfully, and then spoke: "My princess has misunderstood. I am only here to invite Miss Su on behalf of the eldest prince."

The eldest prince invites Su Rui?

Changning couldn't digest these words for a moment.

How could the eldest prince be related to Su Rui, and why did he come here to invite her at such a coincidence?

What Su Rui threw out just now was not to send someone to find Yun Ji, but the eldest prince!

It seemed that something had happened during the days when she was away from Shengjing City. No wonder Su Rui didn't even beg for mercy. It turned out that she was sure of victory.

Chang Ning glanced at Su Rui, whose inner clothes were mostly torn, and felt unwilling.

"What did the eldest prince ask her to do? She was the person appointed by the emperor to serve Mr. Yunji. It's not appropriate for the eldest prince to be too close to her." Even if the eldest prince came to ask for someone, she would want an explanation.

Pei Yan laughed in his heart, but said with a forced smile: "How can we know what the eldest prince is thinking? Although the princess is noble, there are some things that are better not to ask. I don't think Prince Long will interfere in the affairs of the royal family."

His tone was smiling, but his words and eyes were full of threats.

Tell her that she has no right to interfere in the affairs of the eldest prince, otherwise it would be a contempt for the royal family.

Even though she is a princess, favored by the emperor, and has the most glorious position in Shengjing City, she is still a subject after all.

After a stare-down, Changning finally took a step back.

"Since the eldest prince urgently summons her, it is not in my power to stop him."

The nanny immediately asked the maid to let go and the guards dispersed.

Su Rui's hands and feet, which had been tied up for a long time, felt numb. Suddenly, they were released and she fell down, half-kneeling on the ground on her knees to avoid falling down.

After taking a few deep breaths, she stood up and walked out step by step.

As they walked past Chang Ning, Chang Ning said coldly, "You are really good at seducing people."

"That's all thanks to the princess's cultivation back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have this ability." Su Rui refused to give in and deliberately gave Changning a thank you gesture.

Chang Ning's face darkened rapidly, and she wished she could break Su Rui's neck right then and there. However, under Pei Yan's gaze, she could only watch with veins popping out as Su Rui walked out of the shop, got into the carriage, and drove away.

A whip slammed to the ground, cracking loudly. Chang Ning roared, "I will close all the clothing stores in and around Shengjing City. Anyone who dares to sell a hunting coat to Su Rui is going against the Prince Long's Mansion!"

…

The carriage drove all the way to the alley outside the west gate of the Marquis' Mansion. As the sound of horse hooves in front stopped, Su Rui lifted the curtain and saw Pei Yan getting off the horse, so he got off immediately.

Pei Yan was surprised by her politeness, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just said truthfully: "His Highness didn't ask you to go anywhere, Miss Su. He just came to help you out. Now that we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, I will go back and report."

"Deputy Commander Lao Pei expresses my daughter's gratitude to His Highness. I will repay His Highness someday."

Hearing that she still wanted to repay the eldest prince, Pei Yan paused unhappily, but still said: "If the young lady wants to thank His Highness, then don't look for His Highness again in the future."

When Su Rui heard this, she understood that he was disgusted with her being associated with the eldest prince and that she had defiled him.

Yes, the fact that someone like her had the eldest prince help her twice in public would indeed make people speculate about her relationship with him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qingfeng Mingyue and a witch like her who has been rotten in the mud, indeed anyone would dislike her and think that she is the one who dragged others into this water.

What's more, everyone knows that she serves Yun Ji.

Even if Yun Ji wanted to become a monk, he was the eldest prince's uncle, and it was really embarrassing for him to be entangled with her.

Logically speaking, she should have stayed away from it.

but……

"Then you should ask His Highness to stay away from me in the future."

What?

Pei Yan even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. She, she actually told the eldest prince to stay away from her?

Who is the eldest prince? The moon hanging high in the sky is despised by her?

"Deputy Commander Pei, why don't you think about why His Highness saved me today?" Throwing the question to Pei Yan, Su Rui turned around and walked into the alleyway of the west gate.

Pei Yan stood there in a daze.

Why did Your Highness save her?

It was her maid who came to the prince's mansion with the prince's jade pendant to find the prince, so the prince asked her to bring people to rescue her.

Thinking of this, Pei Yan reacted.

Yes, the eldest prince's jade pendant is in Su Rui's hands. He originally thought that it was the Su family's flattery, but now listening to Su Rui's tone, he thought again, if His Highness didn't want it, how could the jade pendant be in Su Rui's hands?

Was it the eldest prince who was pestering Su Rui, and when he knew she was in trouble, he hurriedly sent him to rescue her?

Pei Yan couldn't imagine that the eldest prince, who was always bright and pure, would be so kind to Su Rui, a witch...

No, he wants to find out.

Pei Yan jumped on his horse and was about to go find an answer. After he left, Su Ye came back. Looking at Pei Yan's receding back, he jumped off the carriage indignantly, rushed into the alley, and reached out to grab Su Rui who was about to step into the door.

Bang!

Xier slapped Su Ye without mercy, causing him to cry out in pain, and the entire back of his hand turned red.

"You..." Su Ye opened his mouth to curse, but facing Xier's expressionless face, it was useless to curse. He turned to look at Su Rui and shouted: "You actually tried to seduce the eldest prince? Are you trying to kill yourself? You want to kill everyone in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Another one.

Su Rui was annoyed by what she heard.

"Why, in your eyes, do I have to hook up with him?"

you?

Su Ye didn't know who else was there besides him, but now was not the time to worry about it.

"Otherwise, if you hadn't hooked up with the eldest prince, he would have sent Pei Yan to rescue you? You have no relationship, so why would you ask him for help?"

Of course, we should make use of everything that is available.

Although she didn't know why the eldest prince wanted to approach her, whether he was a truly good man or had other motives, she would naturally take advantage of someone who came to her.

Yun Ji was in the palace and couldn't go out or use anything, so he naturally had to make the best use of what he had.

Of course, she didn't want to explain to a fool like Su Ye.

"If I don't turn to him for help, who should I turn to? You?"

"Yes, I'm outside the shop, can't you see it?" This is what made Su Ye most angry. He was standing right there, but she still wanted to go far away.

Su Rui smiled, "Oh? You will save me?"

"Of course, as long as you admit your mistake and beg me not to be rude or cause trouble again, I will naturally..."

"Idiot." Su Rui rolled her eyes and closed the door as soon as she entered, isolating Su Ye directly outside.

After being rejected again, Su Ye's words that he hadn't finished speaking got stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out. Facing Xier, he couldn't get in with her either, and his face looked like a piece of pig liver from holding it in.

"Su Rui! Just wait! One day you will kneel down and beg me to save you! Ah!"

Before he could finish his words, a stone was thrown from the wall and hit him right on the mouth. His mouth was so numb that he couldn't utter a word.
