She refused to believe that Su Wanyan would dare to kick her out of the manor.
As for the maid whose face was slashed by scissors, she only dared to cover her face and lower her eyes, enduring without uttering a word.
She even trembled as she tried to cover the bloodstains on the ground with her body, fearing that she might offend the princess at this moment and lose her life for no reason.
After Wang Zhang became the housekeeper, Su Wanyan felt very relaxed.
If you want to buy something, just give the order; if you want to eat something, just give the order; if you want to do something, just give the order.
With someone taking care of the courtyard and someone in charge of purchasing, it seemed like there were quite a few new faces in the mansion in the blink of an eye. She was responsible for sitting and inspecting the results.
At this moment, Su Wanyan felt that she had reached the pinnacle of her life.
Compared to before when I had to do everything myself, this is so much more relaxed.
In that case, there's something Su Wanyan should put on her agenda.
She opened the system and browsed through the skills inside.
Because she had learned acupuncture and medicine making, these two skills were enough to deal with Yu Nanqing's illness, so she wasn't in a hurry to learn other skills.
Now that she doesn't have anything particularly busy, she should think about how to activate her other skills.
She needs to find a master to apprentice under.
Su Wanyan narrowed her eyes, thinking she needed to find someone who was all-around capable.
Just then, Wang Zhang rushed in to report: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Eldest Princess has arrived!"
Su Wanyan was taken aback: "What?"
Has the eldest princess arrived?
Wang Zhang was covered in sweat, whether from anxiety or fear, he asked, "Your Majesty, the Princess is here! What... what should we do?"
The Eldest Princess, Yu Nanqing's second greatest nemesis.
Su Wanyan shut down the system, raised her head, and said, "What can we do but fight back!"
Logically speaking, the eldest princess and Yu Nanqing are of the same status. The only difference is that the eldest princess is Yu Nanqing's elder sister. Just because of this small difference in birth order, the eldest princess is slightly more noble than Yu Nanqing.
This prestige was naturally related to Emperor Yuanhe.
Meeting the Eldest Princess was different from meeting Su Muqing, so Su Wanyan didn't keep her waiting long.
When she arrived at the front hall, she saw the princess sitting in the main seat, leisurely drinking the tea served by her maid. Judging from her appearance, she neither thought the tea was good nor bad.
He did not show his joy on his face.
Su Wanyan stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, Princess."
Because they were of the same generation, she didn't need to refer to herself as "your humble servant" in front of the princess, but she still had to perform the standing salute.
The eldest princess disdainfully put down her teacup, her eyes fixed on the lid, not even glancing at Su Wanyan: "Princess Consort Gong, it's really difficult for me to see you."
The voice was long and drawn out, carrying an arrogant and haughty air.
"What do you mean by that, Princess?" Apart from that banquet, she had never heard of the Princess ever wanting to see her.
When Su Muqing came today, she didn't say anything.
The eldest princess gently picked up the teacup lid, and with a "bang," the lid slammed onto the rim of the cup, making a crisp sound, which also sounded like a warning.
She raised her eyes to look at Su Wanyan, her phoenix eyes filled with ruthlessness and sharpness: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few days away. The palace will be holding a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. I would like to invite Princess Gong to attend with me. Would Princess Gong do me the honor?"
As she spoke, the nanny beside her handed a palace invitation to Su Wanyan.
Su Wanyan didn't answer; she was surprised that the Princess didn't hold her accountable for Su Muqing's matter.
That makes sense, after all, she is the eldest princess, how can she be compared to someone of Su Muqing's level?
Su Wanyan looked directly at the Princess: "The Prince was injured in the assassination attempt, and the Princess knows about this, so I'm afraid I won't be able to attend this palace banquet."
The eldest princess smiled upon hearing this, showing no anger: "Even if I knew, I couldn't persuade you."
What a grand spectacle!
Su Wanyan's eyebrows twitched slightly. What did those words mean?
She knew that if she had to say something, it meant she had a backup plan.
It seems we'll have to settle for second best.
Sure enough, the eldest princess took an invitation from another nanny, stood up and walked to Su Wanyan, her beautiful lips curving into a confident smile: "After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I will hold a farewell banquet at the manor. Princess Gong, if you don't give me face this time, it will be too much."
"..." Su Wanyan's eyes darkened.
"It's just a small banquet, why is Princess Gong so afraid of me?" The eldest princess surrounded Su Wanyan, her eyes full of mockery. "Where is Princess Gong's usual arrogance? Why is she like a wilted persimmon now?"
The eldest princess walked around to Su Wanyan and stuffed the invitation into Su Wanyan's hand: "If Princess Consort Gong is worried that Yu Nanqing will have no one to take care of him, just tell me and I will make arrangements for you."
As she spoke, her beautiful lips curled into a wanton smile. She glanced at Su Wanyan with disdain and walked away gracefully.
After the eldest princess left, Su Wanyan stood in the hall for a long time without moving.
After seeing the eldest princess off, Wang Zhang rushed over anxiously: "Your Highness? Your Highness, are you alright?"
Su Wanyan looked as if she was about to lose her soul.
Su Wanyan admitted that she was indeed afraid.
Princess Yu Tingyi has an incredibly strong presence.
She hadn't noticed it when the woman kept her distance at the family dinner, but just now, as she walked around her for a few steps, it was as if she wanted to devour her whole, and every glance seemed to see right through her.
The corners of his lips curled up in a sinister manner.
This is true imperial power, unlike her temporary substitute. It is the true sense of awe and oppression cultivated in the center of power.
"Your Majesty?" Wang Zhang looked at Su Wanyan with concern.
Su Wanyan blinked, then came to her senses: "Master Wang, could you please help me investigate someone?"
"Yes," Wang Zhang quickly replied, "Your Majesty, who do you wish to investigate?"
"The musician who teaches music at the Mo residence in the south of the city is surnamed Su, but I don't know his exact name. I'll have to trouble Master Wang to find out."
When Princess Su Wanyan hosted a banquet, she invited this young master Su to play music at her residence. Fortunately, she was gossipy and overheard what the common people were saying.
I've heard from the common people that this young master Su is unwilling to obey the eldest princess. Perhaps starting with this to deal with the eldest princess will yield unexpected results.
"Your Majesty, please leave it to this old servant." Since becoming the steward, Wang Zhang even changed how he addressed himself.
After Wang Zhang left, Su Wanyan took a deep breath.
She was indeed afraid, but she, Su Wanyan…
"I've always faced challenges head-on!!!" she shouted!
Overcoming fear is her natural skill!
Su Wanyan gripped the invitation in her hand so tightly it became deformed: "Princess Yu Tingyi! Let's see who comes out on top!"
If she doesn't fight back, she might die without even a bone left!
The soldier guarding the entrance to the front hall glanced at Su Wanyan again and again. Su Wanyan, is she crazy?
Not only did they address the princess by her given name, but they also uttered such treasonous words. Didn't they see that they were standing right here?
Didn't she know they were the emperor's men?
If these words get out... does she even want to live anymore?
