"Let's go, let's follow them and see!"
Gao Junning closed his folding fan and stepped down from the pavilion steps.
Knowing his sister as he did, he knew she would never give up so easily. He was quite interested to see what Su Liluo would do in this isolated and helpless Northern Desert.
Gao Yufei's men went after Su Liluo, while she herself, along with those noble ladies, angrily followed from behind.
"Miss Su! Miss Su, slow down, don't go to the wrong place!"
The maids responsible for taking care of Su Liluo were panting as they chased after her. They were people sent by the Regent, not ordinary maids, but martial maids who knew some kung fu, so they could run faster than others.
Before long, they caught up with Su Liluo.
“If I don’t run, am I supposed to wait for them to beat me up? You’ve all seen it, the princess is powerful and unreasonable, my only option is to run away.”
Su Liluo said it as a matter of course.
Although she was not familiar with the Regent's Palace, she saw many servants coming and going in this direction and roughly guessed that this should be the direction of the banquet.
Only when she's in crowded places does Gao Yufei become more considerate of her image and less reckless.
Now that she's under someone else's roof, confronting Gao Yufei in a place where there are no outsiders, she'll be at a disadvantage.
The maids exchanged bewildered glances. Although they were from the Regent's Palace, Gao Yufei had indeed been unreasonable, so they didn't know how to refute her.
“Miss Su, just around this corner is the banquet hall. There will be many distinguished guests there. You must not be so rash, or the Regent will be angry.”
The maid could only change the subject.
"Okay, I know, let's go over there quickly!"
Su Liluo nodded.
If we don't go now, Gao Yufei will catch up with us!
On the other side.
Gao Yufei was with several young ladies who didn't know kung fu, and she also had to take care of Zhifu, who had fallen and injured herself, so she naturally walked a little slower.
"Don't worry, I'll go and complain to Mother when we get to the main hall. Remember to cooperate with me and tell her that Zhifu was pushed to the ground by Su Liluo, understand?"
Gao Yufei said angrily.
Originally, she wanted to teach Su Liluo a lesson so that she wouldn't be able to appear at the banquet as her brother's fiancée, but she didn't expect Su Liluo to escape.
Why is it that she ruined my reputation and took my virginity, while she was lucky enough to marry my brother!
"Princess, don't worry, we will all cooperate with you. This Su Liluo is so vicious, how can we want Young Master Gao to be deceived by her?"
"That's right, we just saw it. It was because she was jealous of Zhifu that she deliberately stretched out her leg to knock Zhifu down."
"Yes, it was she who stretched out her leg and tripped him. And all you servants behind you, remember this? You have to say this if anyone asks later!"
The women echoed this through gritted teeth, and also viciously threatened the servants and maids behind them.
Gao Yufei then revealed a triumphant smile.

The banquet hall was packed with guests.
Regent Gao Changhong was already busy among the crowd. He held a high position in the Northern Desert, and naturally, there were many officials who came to curry favor with him.
The Regent's wife sat leisurely among the women, accepting their flattery and obsequiousness.
As soon as Su Liluo entered the hall, several women immediately looked at her.
"Hey, who's that woman? Which family's young lady is she? I've never seen her at any banquet before?"
"Look at her, she's really beautiful. Her skin is even fairer and brighter than other women's, and her features are so delicate. I wonder if she's engaged yet?"
"Those who can come to the Regent's residence today are at least the families of fourth-rank officials. I have met most of the legitimate daughters of fourth-rank officials, but I have never seen this one before. Could she be a concubine's daughter from some family?"
Some of the women couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
At banquets like this, many families often take the opportunity to find a spouse for their children, so someone as outstanding as Su Liluo would naturally attract attention as soon as she entered.
Su Liluo looked around. She didn't intend to pay attention to anyone. She just felt that even if Gao Yufei wanted to cause trouble for her, she would have to be careful about something.
Since she hadn't found the Ganoderma lucidum yet and had no intention of escaping, she looked around and decided to find a quiet place to sit down, eat some melon seeds, and watch the show.
However, she did not expect that when the Regent's wife heard the women talking about Su Liluo, her face suddenly darkened.
She couldn't help but curse inwardly, "No wonder she looks like a vixen! With that kind of face, she's born to seduce people everywhere!"
Now she's not only seducing men, but even women are being captivated by her.
So she couldn't resist calling her over to teach her a lesson.
"Go and call Miss Su over!"
The Regent's wife couldn't resist and had her maid summon the person over.
"How can you have no manners at all? Don't you know how to greet the ladies here?"
As soon as Su Liluo walked up to the Regent's Consort, before she could even speak, she was met with a stern interrogation.
"Your Highness, I haven't had time yet!"
Su Lilu smiled faintly.
"Hmph! No manners means no manners. Kneel down now!"
The Regent's wife snorted coldly.
Su Liluo's eyes darkened. Kneel down?
So many people are telling her to kneel down?
Isn't this a blatant humiliation of her?
Of course, she wouldn't listen, so she just stood there motionless.
Seeing that she hadn't reacted for a long time, the Regent's wife was about to continue getting angry when Gao Yufei ran to her side.
"Mother, you must stand up for us!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing Gao Yufei's aggrieved expression, the Regent's wife asked with concern.
"Mother, Su Liluo is so rude and disrespectful. We just ran into her in the garden, and because we all praised Miss Zhifu as a lady from a respectable family, she pushed Zhifu to the ground and ran away."
Gao Yufei, clinging to the Regent's wife's arm, coquettishly complained.
Behind her stood Zhifu, who was being supported by a maid, and several other girls.
"Are you telling the truth? She actually dared to push Miss Zhifu to the ground? That's outrageous!"
The Regent's wife exclaimed in surprise.
She already disliked Su Liluo, and now that she had this excuse, she had no choice but to punish her properly.
"Of course it's true. They all saw it. Mother, you can see that Zhifu's hands are all scraped. I've already sent someone to fetch the doctor from the Prince's residence."
"Yes, Your Highness, the princess is right. We all saw it. It was Miss Su who pushed Miss Zhifu. She even said that she was going to marry Young Master Gao in the future and that we were not qualified to compete with her."
"Miss Zhifu only advised her a few words not to go too far, that a woman shouldn't be so jealous, and she got angry and pushed her down."
The girls behind Gao Yufei then began to lie without batting an eye.
