"You little bitch! Who are you trying to seduce with a face like that?"
Before entering the door, Song Qingxue heard Su Ruqian's voice, and along with her voice came the sound of crisp slaps.
There was a lot of noise in the yard. Song Qingxue got anxious and kicked the door open.
There was a loud bang, which immediately startled everyone in the yard and made them stop what they were doing.
"Song Qingxue! You bitch, do you know what etiquette is?" Su Ruqian came to her senses, pointed at her and cursed at her in a shrill voice.
"Concubine Su, you are so majestic!" Song Qingxue walked slowly up to her, raised her hand and hit her in the face with all her strength.
Song Qingxue's hand strength was so great that just one palm strike could make Su Ruqian's ears buzz.
"You treated my people without my permission, do you know how to behave? When you saw me, not only did you not greet me, but you also yelled at me, do you know how to behave?!"
Song Qingxue narrowed her eyes slightly, but stared at her without blinking, making her feel cold on the back.
"Concubine, why are you silent? When you beat the people in my palace, weren't you justified?"
Song Qingxue didn't want to pay any attention to people like Su Ruqian.
But she shouldn't have made decisions on her own and repeatedly touched the people in her yard.
When Su Ruqian heard her words, she seemed to have found a reason and suddenly spoke again: "So what if I beat them! These lowly slaves offended my master, why can't I beat them?"
"Master, are you worthy?" Song Qingxue said sarcastically, "Do you think you are the master just because you have the title of concubine? If you don't know yourself, I don't mind reminding you. I am a concubine, a lowly person, and I will never be able to become a wife in this life!"
As a woman, Song Qingxue didn't want to make things difficult for other women.
But Su Ruqian didn't cherish the opportunity and insisted on making her angry!
"What if you're his wife? What if you're his concubine? Aren't you just as unpopular with the prince as I am?" Su Ruqian sneered, "The prince doesn't love you, so what if you're his wife? Just wait and see, the prince will definitely divorce you! Definitely!"
After hearing this, Song Qingxue felt that Su Ruqian was both ridiculous and pathetic.
She is just a marginal figure like a background board, and it is her fate to never receive love in her life.
But she would not feel sorry for Su Ruqian.
She may not mean to be stupid and bad, but if you mess with her, you won't have an easy time.
Only the Virgin Mary could have infinite pity for bad people, but obviously, she was not a Virgin Mary.
She studied medicine to save lives, not to cultivate a kind heart to cure people with cerebral palsy.
She only smiled gently, but her tone was aggressive, "Whether the prince will divorce his wife is his business. Why do you, a concubine, think so much? You understand the prince's mind so well, why don't you take over the prince's job?"
"You!" Su Ruqian was speechless.
"Me? What's wrong with me? Am I wrong?"
Su Ruqian angrily cursed: "You are making random guesses and throwing dirty water, Song Qingxue, you are such a scheming bitch!"
"How can this be called scheming?" Song Qingxue said with a smile: "The prince is not here, so what can I do if I say so?"
"Song Qingxue, you, you..." Su Ruqian kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence. In the end, she could only be upset in her heart.
Song Qingxue was clearly not like this before.
Why on earth did this piece of trash suddenly change his appearance?
Su Ruqian still hasn't figured this matter out.
Song Qingxue didn't have time to wait for her to make up a story. She helped Zhu Pin'er up and said, "Pin'er, I'll take you back first."
Justice must be sought, but we cannot allow Zhu Pin'er to continue staying here with injuries all over her body.
Zhu Pin'er's cheeks were swollen, there were clear marks on her neck, and there were many bloodstains on her tattered clothes.
One glance revealed how ruthless Su Ruqian was.
Fortunately, Zhu Pin'er had a good physique. If she had been replaced by someone a little more delicate, she would have probably fainted by now.
After bringing Zhu Pin'er back, Song Qingxue first asked Liu Huan to wipe the blood off her body and clean her wounds.
She sat down on the bed and pulled out a few bottles of medicine and uncorked them.
Raising her hand and touching the skin around her wound, Song Qingxue said, "It will be a little painful when the medicine is applied later, please bear with it."
"Yeah." Zhu Pin'er nodded slightly.
Song Qingxue gently shook the medicine onto the wound. Zhu Pin'er pursed her lips in pain but made no sound.
Song Qingxue expressed her admiration for this.
Zhu Pin'er is really tolerant.
But a little girl like this always easily arouses people's sympathy.
Song Qingxue stopped applying the medicine and said, "If it hurts, you can scream out. You don't have to endure it like this."
"It's okay, I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Princess."
Although she said it was okay, her trembling voice said otherwise.
I guess he's just used to enduring it.
Song Qingxue thought about it and didn't say anything else. She applied the medicine to her carefully, then bandaged the wound and got up.
"Your wound is too serious. You can't make any big movements during this period, otherwise it will heal very slowly."
Zhu Pin'er responded: "Okay."
Song Qingxue quickly put away the medicine bottle, went to wash her hands, and came back.
"Pin'er, remember, you are now a member of my courtyard, and you will not be bullied by others. If someone bullies you again in the future, you must fight back, and I will take responsibility for everything!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Pin'er was stunned.
She said, "It's okay, Princess. I'm used to it."
It is better to have less trouble than more, and she does not want the princess to get into unnecessary trouble because of her.
"What do you mean you're used to it? Remember, the past is the past, and the present is the present. As long as Lin Xian doesn't marry you, you're mine. If you let any random cat or dog bully you, it's my loss of face!"
"Yes, I remember that." Zhu Pin'er lowered her head, but her tone was very sincere, "Thank you, Princess."
"Just remember it. Just take care of your wounds. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, Song Qingxue walked out of the room.
However, as soon as she went out, she went to the main courtyard to find Xiahou Chongyuan.
Xiahou Chongyuan, who had just taken off his coat and was about to go to bed, was startled when he saw Song Qingxue pushing the door in hurriedly.
"Princess, it's so late, what are you doing here?"
Song Qingxue walked in and said, "I'm here to file a complaint."
"Oh? Who are you suing?"
"Su Ruqian, Concubine Su's!" Song Qingxue said, "She took the initiative to punish the maids in my courtyard. Is this considered exceeding her authority?"
Xiahou Chongyuan paused and hinted, "It's considered breaking the rules."
"Just breaking the rules?" This is a profound word game.
Both are transgressions, but transgressing rules is much easier to say than transgressing rights.
Seeing her expression change, Xiahou Chongyuan added another clear reminder: "Without rules, there is no order. If someone flouts the rules, Princess can teach her what the rules are."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingxue immediately understood what Xiahou Chongyuan meant.
In this backyard, it is indeed inappropriate to bring up the word "power".
But using the word "rules" makes it seem much more reasonable.
Not only is it reasonable, but rules can also be considered a very flexible verb at certain times.
The rules are written in black and white, and the rules are also spoken by those in high positions.
So that's how it is.
"Since the prince said so, I will do as he says."
Song Qingxue smiled and made plans in her mind.
This time she must set some rules for Su Ruqian, otherwise this woman would always rely on her status as a concubine to bully others in the palace and would not be able to see her own status and position at all!
