"Ha!" Princess Rongfu laughed sarcastically, "Madam Pei is still as eloquent as ever."

In the villa, she had already witnessed her sharp tongue and knew that the maid would not be able to get any good response from her, so she interrupted their conversation.

When the maid saw the princess speak, she quickly and respectfully stepped aside, not daring to say anything.

Su Li paid no attention to her sarcasm and said with a curved lip, "What your subject said is only the truth."

"The truth? Haha!" Princess Rongfu raised her chin and spoke in a condescending manner, "The truth is, I am the most noble princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, and even if you are the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke of Ji's Mansion, so what? You have the confidence to speak to me now, isn't it because you feel that the Duke of Ji's Mansion is there? But if I kill you, are you sure that the Duke of Ji's Mansion will offend me for you? Oh, even if they do, so what? I am the lucky star of the Great Jin Dynasty, carrying the blessings of the Great Jin Dynasty, and respected by all the people. Do you think the emperor will punish me for you? Will the Duke of Ji's Mansion go against the emperor for you?"

Su Li sneered in his heart, and had to admit that what Princess Rongfu said was true.

In the original novel, let alone simply burning the original owner and her daughter to death, even if she were to uncover even more egregious crimes, Emperor Jing, though furious, would simply confine her to the Princess's residence and order her to reflect on her past. He wouldn't, wouldn't dare, actually take her life. After all, she was blessed with a lucky star. As Princess Rongfu herself had said, she carried the blessings of the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Jing was the ruler of a nation, so how could he dare gamble with the Jin Dynasty's fortune? Even the ministers at court wouldn't dare...

But what if she is no longer the lucky star of Dajin?

"So the princess admits that what happened today was caused by her?"

"So what? You're lucky today, but next time," she said with a blatant threat in her tone, "I don't know if you'll be so lucky..."

Then he threatened, "Divorce Pei Ji immediately, and I'll spare your life! Otherwise, I promise you that even with the Duke of Ji's Mansion protecting you, you won't live to see the day Pei Ji returns to the capital!"

Su Li did not comment on this.

Although Princess Rongfu has many conveniences given by the emperor because of her lucky star fate, and she also has her own power, she is just a princess after all, a princess with only status but no real power. She alone cannot compare with the powerful Jiguo Mansion.

If the Duke of Ji's Mansion wanted to protect her, with Princess Rongfu's strength, they would definitely not be able to do anything to her for a while.

But at the same time, the Duke of Ji's Mansion cannot and must not get rid of Princess Rongfu. Duke Ji has been loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and his people all his life, and he would not gamble with the fortune of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In the original novel, although he helped Pei Ji in avenging the original owner, but later when Princess Rongfu's evil deeds were exposed, he also agreed when the emperor only punished Princess Rongfu with house arrest for reflection, just because he was afraid that Princess Rongfu would make a mistake and affect the fortune of Dajin.

Therefore, she never thought of relying on the Duke's Mansion from the beginning to the end. She wanted to send her to death with her own hands!

Su Li raised her eyes and looked at Princess Rongfu, and asked with a smile, "If I divorce Pei Ji, will the princess really let me go?"

The moment she said this, she clearly saw a flash of surprise on her face. Su Li couldn't help but curl her lips and sneered in her heart.

She won't, after the divorce, she will only die faster.

In the original novel, Princess Rongfu's possessiveness towards Pei Ji was so strong that she was even jealous of Pei Zhao and his sister, causing one of them to die and the other to be disabled. She even killed Pei Mingyue, who had merely praised Pei Ji a few words. As the original wife who had given birth to two children for Pei Ji, how could she let her go?

This is also why, when she first came into the book, even though she and Pei Ji had no feelings for each other, she never thought of divorcing him.

Once divorced, she would be just a powerless commoner, and Princess Rongfu could kill her without any scruples and it would be easy as pie.

Only by being with Pei Ji, relying on his influence, and Princess Rongfu's consideration for his feelings, could she have the capital to compete with him.

Princess Rongfu was indeed stunned for a moment when she heard this. She met Su Li's eyes, which were deep and sharp, as if they could see through people's hearts and see through everything.

Indeed, of course she would not let her go. Princess Rongfu was born noble and could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She liked Pei Ji, so how could she tolerate the woman Pei Ji loved to exist in this world, and how could she tolerate the child he had with that woman to live in this world?

Asking her to take the initiative to divorce was just out of consideration for Pei Ji, but she didn't expect that he saw through her at a glance. She seemed to be much smarter than she thought.

She had underestimated her again, but so what? What could she do to her?

Princess Rongfu neither admitted nor denied it. She only sighed and said leisurely, "It seems that Madam Pei is not willing to accept my toast and will have to drink the penalty..."

Su Li sneered and said bluntly, "The princess didn't even give me a chance to drink a toast."

For the first time in her life, Princess Rongfu experienced the feeling of being ignored. Her eyes instantly became sharp, her tone was cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Okay, I'll see how long you can be so proud!"

Su Li pretended to bow and said, "If the princess has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

Without waiting for her response, he walked straight out the door.

Anyway, they have already torn their relationship apart, and it is either life or death between her and Princess Rongfu, so why should she care so much?

"You! Bitch! How dare you look down on me like that!" Princess Rongfu was so angry that she picked up the cup beside her and threw it towards Su Li.

The cup hit the door frame and shattered. Su Li was not afraid at all and walked out of the yard without stopping.

"Bitch!"

Several maids knelt down one after another: "Princess, please calm down. Don't get yourself hurt by being angry..."

"Princess, please calm down..."

"Princess, would you like me to have someone capture her?"

Princess Rongfu was furious again when she heard this: "What's the point of capturing her? Can you convince her or kill her here?"

If she could be killed openly, why would she feel so aggrieved?

She knew very well that the Duke of Ji's Mansion was not an ordinary aristocratic family. Although she was a princess, she did not want to fall out with them easily. Moreover, she cared more about Pei Ji's attitude and was even more afraid that Pei Ji would dislike her because of this.

The maid quickly admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong, please calm down, Princess..."

Princess Rongfu sat back on the couch and calmed down for a while before she said, "Everyone, get up."

The maids lowered their heads and stood up.

Princess Rongfu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "Think of a way as soon as possible to make that bitch die in an accident, and make sure Pei Ji and the Duke of Ji's Mansion can't find anything suspicious!"

If they don't get rid of her now, when Pei Ji returns to the capital and officially recognizes his ancestry and becomes the heir of the Duke of Ji's mansion, it will be even more difficult to deal with her when they move into the Duke of Ji's mansion...
