Su Jinyue chuckled and looked outside. "It's already noon, why would the palace send anyone here? You all should go away."
Lan Shao's expression became anxious, "Miss! Someone from the palace really came to invite you to enter the palace!"
Su Jinyue pretended not to hear her and said to Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, go out and prepare lunch. I want to eat pork ribs with plum sauce today."
"Yes." Xiao Tao responded and walked out, heading towards the small kitchen.
Seeing Su Jinyue's leisurely look, she obviously had no intention of leaving the house. Lan Shao gritted her teeth and said, "Miss! If you miss the time to enter the palace, His Majesty will blame you! You..."
Su Jinyue glanced at her and said, "It's really a coincidence that you guys came back after going out shopping. Someone came from the palace and you guys came back too."
Lu Wu joined Lan Shao in saying, "It was just a coincidence that we came across this, so we hurried back to report to the young lady!"
"Is that so?"
Su Jinyue raised her hand to support her chin and looked at Lu Wu, "So what did you buy today?"
Lan Shao rolled her eyes and said, "We are going to buy things for the old lady."
"Is there no one in Grandmother's room? I need to send you out to buy some!"
Su Jinyue's suddenly raised voice startled Lan Shao, and she looked in Su Jinyue's direction in panic.
"If that's the case, you might as well go back and follow Grandmother. Anyway, I don't need anyone in my yard!"
Lan Shao knelt down with a plop, "Miss! I will follow you with no second thoughts!"
Su Jinyue sneered, "Lan Shao, you belong to my grandmother, and it's normal for people to have feelings for the old times. I didn't say I was going to punish you, I just wanted you to return to my grandmother, why are you kneeling to me?"
If Su Jinyue were to send me back to me now, I would definitely ask you the reason!
By then, everything they do will be exposed!
Lan Shao was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, "Miss! I was wrong! Please punish me, please spare my life!"
Lu Wu also knelt down following Lan Shao, "Please have mercy, young lady!"
Su Jinyue laughed, "What are you two doing? I asked you to return to serve your old master, why do you want to spare your lives?"
She lowered her eyes to look at Lan Shao, "Lan Shao, you are so reluctant to return to grandma, are you unwilling to serve grandma?"
"Your servant! Your servant ..."
Lan Shao's words were stuck in her throat and she felt she had no way to defend herself.
Outside the yard.
Su Chengjiang waited outside for half an incense stick of time, but no one came out. He became anxious and rushed directly into Su Jinyue's yard!
"Su Jinyue! What are you dawdling for? Come out now!"
Xiao Tao came back at this time and was shocked to see Su Chengjiang entering the yard. She hurried forward to stop him, "Second Young Master, how can you break into the young lady's yard!"
Su Chengjiang waved his hand and slapped Xiaotao!
Bang!!
He looked at Xiao Tao coldly, "Do I need to inform her three times before I can enter her yard?!"
Su Jinyue stepped out of the door and saw Xiaotao being slapped by Su Chengjiang. She took a few steps back. Her eyes turned cold, "Su Chengjiang, why are you acting so arrogantly in my yard!"
Su Chengjiang was already anxious, and when he heard Su Jinyue calling him by his full name, he became even more furious, "Su Jinyue! How dare you call me brother by my full name? I think you have lost all your manners since you came back from the border!"
Su Jinyue walked to Xiaotao's side, saw her flushed cheeks, and looked at Su Chengjiang with a colder look in her eyes, "It's better than you showing off in my yard!"
"Why do you attack my maid?"
Su Chengjiang never took Su Jinyue seriously, and said arrogantly: "She is just a maid! I will beat her if I want to! I am just punishing a maid, how can..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Jinyue raised her hand and slapped him in the face!
With this slap, Su Jinyue lost all her strength!
Her hand was slightly painful from the shock. Su Jinyue shook it and looked at Xiaotao who was already stunned. "Xiaotao, slapping someone is really a strenuous job."
Xiao Tao's face no longer hurt. She blinked stupidly and looked at her mistress. Her mistress...actually beat up the Second Young Master?!
Su Chengjiang felt a ringing in his ears, and then he felt a burning pain on his cheek!
"Su Jinyue, are you crazy? How dare you attack me, Young Master!!"
Su Chengjiang yelled and rushed towards Su Jinyue!
"Stop it, everyone!"
Jiang Caiping appeared outside Su Jinyue's yard, looking extremely bad.
She just interrogated Su Jingnian and found out the truth. After scolding her eldest son, she quickly brought people to Wangyuexuan to find Su Jinyue, and saw her youngest son was about to pounce on Su Jinyue!
When Su Chengjiang saw Jiang Caiping, he became even more confident, "Mother! Su Jinyue actually dared to attack me now! Why don't you teach her a lesson!"
Su Jinyue looked at Jiang Caiping and his men coming in with a calm expression. She didn't expect Jiang Caiping to be on her side at all.
Just when she was waiting for Jiang Caiping to reprimand her, she didn't expect Jiang Caiping to step forward and slap Su Chengjiang in the face!
Bang!!
This sound was no weaker than the slap Su Jinyue had just given Su Chengjiang!
Seeing that Jiang Caiping really hit Su Chengjiang, Su Jinyue's expression was also stunned.
Su Jingnian didn't expect his mother to hit Su Chengjiang. He was so frightened that he was stunned for a moment, "Mom!"
Su Chengjiang looked at Jiang Caiping in disbelief, "Mother, why did you hit me? You have never hit me since I was a child. You are hitting me now for Su Jinyue?!"
Jiang Caiping was furious, pointing at Su Chengjiang and saying, "I still haven't settled the score with you for locking Jin Yue in the room with your brother!"
After his mother told him what he and his brother had done, Su Chengjiang felt guilty for a moment, and then he said, "We were just joking with Su Jinyue! Who knew she couldn't take a joke!"
"How come I can't take a joke?"
Su Jinyue said: "I am not angry at all about the door being locked. I slapped you just because you deserved it."
"Mother!"
Jiang Caiping frowned and said to Su Chengjiang, "Enough! Is this a joke?! Your sister is trapped in the palace now! You still have the time to argue here!"
Su Chengjiang's momentum weakened, and he muttered, "Then why don't we just ask Su Jinyue to go to the palace and replace my sister?"
Glancing at Su Chengjiang with a look of disappointment, Jiang Caiping walked to Su Jinyue and said, "Jinyue, your sister is still in the palace. Please go to the palace and bring her out."
Su Jinyue looked at Jiang Caiping with a little doubt, "My sister is in the palace, mother can take my brother to pick her up, why do you have to come to me?"
"Don't play dumb!" Su Jingnian said coldly, "You knew why someone from the palace came to pick you up! You are just stalling for time on purpose!"
