Chapter 73 Shen Ruoli, you are truly shameless!
Seeing Xie Jiaojiao's expression change, Shen Ruoli knew that she had figured it out.
It seems I'm not too stupid after all.
Shen Ruoli did not speak, but looked at her with a half-smile.
She was waiting for Xie Jiaojiao to speak first.
Even though she tolerated Xie Jiaojiao in every way in her previous life, the girl was still indifferent and sarcastic towards her.
She was in cahoots with Xie Xuansong, and Xie Jiaojiao regarded her as an enemy;
She is not on Xie Xuansong's side, and now she is of one mind with Xie Xuanyin, but Xie Jiaojiao still regards her as an enemy!
Therefore, Xie Jiaojiao's animosity towards her was not because she was on the same side as Xie Xuansong or Xie Xuanyin. Rather, it was because she inherently harbored hostility towards her as a person!
"Are you threatening me, Princess?"
After a long silence, Xie Jiaojiao finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.
She glared fiercely at Shen Ruoli, "Do you really think that just because you are now the Crown Princess, your position is secure? And that you will definitely be the Empress in the future?!"
To truly control her life, being a crown princess alone is probably not enough!
Xie Jiaojiao said coldly, "Who doesn't know that my Crown Prince brother despises you? Shen Ruoli, you should take a good look in the mirror!"
She just hated Shen Ruoli's calm and composed demeanor.
From childhood to adulthood, it seems like nothing can defeat her.
They are clearly the princesses, the chosen ones of heaven, yet everyone revolves around Shen Ruoli!
Even her grandmother, grandfather, and father doted on Shen Ruoli!
"You really think that with your grandmother backing you up, you can step on my head? Shen Ruoli, if you had half the gentleness of my sister-in-law, I would be much kinder to you! Who are you trying to impress with your stern face and self-righteous air?!"
Is Song Xuerou gentle and kind?
This is the funniest joke Shen Ruoli has ever heard in her two lifetimes!
"It seems that the Seventh Princess not only has a bad temper, but also poor eyesight."
Shen Ruoli laughed, "So you came here today to avenge your sister-in-law?"
"So what if it is?!"
"Why?"
Shen Ruoli asked again, "I neither made things difficult for her nor did I do anything to her, so why are you coming to cause me trouble?"
"Why? Shen Ruoli, you really have no self-awareness!"
Xie Jiaojiao stepped forward, glaring at her angrily, "If you hadn't sent that Ziyan to my brother's side, would my sister-in-law have been so heartbroken and devastated?"
"What did you say?"
Song Xuerou actually believes that Ziyan was sent to Xie Xuansong by her?!
Although... that is indeed the case!
But that matter was done so secretly that even Xie Xuansong himself didn't know about it, so how could Song Xuerou know?
"It was you who sent Ziyan to my brother's side! Shen Ruoli, what are you pretending to be innocent for? My sister-in-law knows perfectly well that you would never let her have an easy time, so you planted a woman next to my brother to make her wish she were dead!"
Shen Ruoli: "..."
Sure enough, a woman's intuition is unbeatable!
Song Xuerou is usually clueless, but her premonition about this matter was remarkably accurate.
"You saw it just now too."
Shen Ruoli raised her chin. "If I had truly sent Ziyan to the Prince of Chu's side, why would she have cried and begged me not to make things difficult for her?"
"That's because you can act!"
Xie Jiaojiao snorted coldly.
"idiot!"
Shen Ruoli laughed in anger, "Why should I put on an act with a mere concubine? Besides, I am now the Crown Princess, why would I make things difficult for the people of the Chu Prince's residence?"
"Well, that's because you still have feelings for your elder brother! You still want to go back to his side, that's why you..."
Before Xie Jiaojiao could finish speaking, Shen Ruoli had already stood up and stepped forward, slapping Xie Jiaojiao across the face!
"Shen Ruoli, how dare you hit me!"
Xie Jiaojiao was stunned!
Are you awake?
Shen Ruoli looked at her coldly, "If you're not clear-headed enough, I'll have someone throw you into the snow outside so you can calm down!"
"you!!"
Xie Jiaojiao covered her face, her eyes wide with disbelief!
How dare Shen Ruoli treat her like this!
She is the legitimate daughter of the Emperor and Empress, the younger sister of the Crown Prince, and the only legitimate princess of Dongling!
"Shen Ruoli, how dare you! I'm going to tell my brother, the Crown Prince, right now!"
Xie Jiaojiao stormed out.
Shen Ruoli said calmly, "Turn left after you go out, walk to the end of the palace gate, and then walk for three days and three nights. You should be able to find your Crown Prince brother."
Anyway, Xie Xuanyin isn't in the capital right now.
She wasn't afraid that Xie Jiaojiao would complain to her!
So what if Xie Xuanyin is in the capital?
"Or, you can wait until your elder brother, the Crown Prince, returns to the capital before you file your complaint. At that time, I will tell my husband that you, his own sister, are a traitor who believes outsiders to slander and insult me, and I will make you pay!"
Shen Ruoli curled her lips, "Tell me, who will suffer in the end?"
Xie Jiaojiao paused in her steps.
She turned around and glared at Shen Ruoli, as if she didn't recognize her.
The Shen Ruoli she remembered had never shown such a cunning side!
"You, you...I'm going to tell Father Emperor!"
"Go quickly! Do you want me to go with you? Or do you want to go and complain to the Empress Dowager or Grandmother?"
Shen Ruoli leisurely rested her chin on her hand, "Or, why don't you try complaining to your elder brother, the Prince of Chu? And your second and third brothers, etc... I can also send someone to invite them to the Crown Prince's residence."
Xie Jiaojiao was so shocked by her words that she stood there speechless for a long time!
She stared blankly at Shen Ruoli, as if she were meeting her for the first time.
She never expected this woman to be so bold!
She seems fearless!
"Shen Ruoli, are you just throwing caution to the wind?"
"It's one thing to call your sister-in-law by her given name, but to call the Crown Princess by her given name is a serious offense."
Shen Ruoli answered irrelevantly, "Jiaojiao, I won't beat around the bush with you. Tell me the truth, who sent you to cause me trouble? Was it Xie Xuansong?"
"Of course not! Big brother wouldn't stoop to the level of a woman like you!"
"Since it's not Xie Xuansong, then it must be Song Xuerou."
Shen Ruoli leaned back in her chair. "I heard that yesterday, when the Princess Consort of Chu went to the Weiyang Palace to visit you, she looked worried and her face was solemn. When she came out, although her eyes were red, she seemed relieved and had a big smile on her face."
"What did she say to you? Did she tell you to come and argue with me?"
"Of course not!"
"Then, did she send you to help her steal my position as Crown Princess?"
"Shen Ruoli, you're really going too far! Your sister-in-law has never coveted your position as Crown Princess!"
"Really? Then why did she send you here?"
Shen Ruoli's "treacherous scheme" succeeded, and she raised an eyebrow slightly.
"She made me..."
Xie Jiaojiao had barely uttered the words when she belatedly realized that she had unknowingly been tricked into revealing a great deal of information by Shen Ruoli!
Enraged, she stomped her foot and yelled, "Shen Ruoli, you're so annoying!"
"Likewise."
Being disliked was something Shen Ruoli had become accustomed to from childhood to adulthood.
She didn't care, and just smiled lightly, "If you tell me honestly what Song Xuerou asked you to do, then I won't tell Grandmother, Father, Mother, or your Crown Prince brother about your tantrum at the Crown Prince's residence today!"
"If you don't tell me, I'll tell them that you came here today begging me to say that you want to marry the foolish son of General Zhou!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiaojiao froze on the spot!
"Shen Ruoli! You are utterly shameless!!"
