A woman's intuition is never wrong.
Su Liyue just thought Shangguan Ruoning would cause trouble, but then she saw Shangguan Ruoning looking at Ye Cangming with deep affection and reluctance, "If I could have stayed with the War King forever, I would have been happy to be his concubine..."
At this point, his voice choked slightly, and his eyes showed a hint of suppressed sadness and bitterness. He reluctantly shifted his gaze from Ye Cangming to Su Liyue, pursing his lips slightly, "But since Princess Sister is questioning me like this and thinks I'm such a cruel person, I will..."
Having said this, Shangguan Ruoning's eyes turned fierce, and he threw the phoenix crown in his hand to the ground with a loud "bang".
Suddenly, the beautiful phoenix crown inlaid with gems was shattered, and the gems were scattered all over the ground, as messy as the wedding.
As the phoenix crown was destroyed, Shangguan Ruoning's upright figure swayed slightly, as if it was she who suffered the severe damage rather than the phoenix crown.
Seeing this, the maid beside her hurriedly helped Shangguan Ruoning to her feet. Then she looked at Su Liyue with anger, "This is the phoenix crown that our young lady spent five years making, and it was broken like this. You..."
"Xiangqiao!" Shangguan Ruoning's voice was a little sharp.
Xiangqiao, the maidservant, swallowed the rest of her words after hearing this, but her face was still full of resentment and indignation.
Xiangqiao shut up, but the guests were shocked.
The phoenix crown just now was exquisitely made, with a novel style and an overall beautiful appearance. It was memorable even at a glance... But did Shangguan Ruoning spend five years making it?
This... is too sentimental and a pity, isn't it?
As everyone showed expressions of regret and admiration, Shangguan Ruoning finally composed herself. Looking at Su Liyue, her eyes shone with determination, and she exuded the arrogance of a noble lady. "I threw my crown today to prove to you that I have absolutely no intention of coveting the position of princess."
It was as if Su Liyue's suspicions about her were all groundless and nonsense.
At this moment, Shangguan Ruoning had a sense of nobility, as if she were untainted by the mud.
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Ruoning looked at Ye Cangming with red eyes and said with regret, "This scene today proves that Your Highness and I are not destined to be together. I just ask Your Highness to believe me. I have been practicing medicine for many years, saving lives, and I would never do something like poisoning and murdering someone."
When Su Liyue heard this, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
Is Shangguan Ruoning... throwing her crown to signal that she is breaking off all ties with Prince Zhan?
But this is not right!
Although, her goal today was to prevent Shangguan Ruoning from getting what she wanted.
But according to common sense, shouldn't Shangguan Ruoning be forced by etiquette to temporarily compromise and stay as a concubine, offer her tea, and then cause all kinds of trouble, while she will counter his moves and wait for an opportunity to deal with those who avenge the original owner?
After all, that's how it always is.
As she was new here and had no one to help her, she couldn't just poison someone to death right away. If she did that, in this era, it would be an act of seeking death.
How could she want to die if she could live?
However, she never expected that Shangguan Ruoning would actually retreat while talking.
This is seriously inconsistent with her character of waiting for the War King for five years.
Could it be that Shangguan Ruoning is so proud that she won't marry unless she's the principal wife?
If this is true, then the so-called true love is nothing, and there is no need to wait for five years and waste time.
After all, this is ancient times, and being unmarried at an advanced age is against secular conventions.
As Su Liyue was thinking about this, she clearly felt the unfriendly gazes coming from all directions.
Soon, some discussions reached Su Liyue's ears.
"This Su Liyue is truly vulgar and vicious. Miss Shangguan's medical practice is kind and has saved countless lives, yet she has the nerve to falsely accuse her like this."
"That's right. Miss Shangguan has done so much for King Zhan. They are a match made in heaven. This Su Liyue interfered five years ago and now comes to sabotage Miss Shangguan's wedding. How despicable!"
"Su Liyue is not even worthy of carrying Miss Shangguan's shoes. Now instead of asking to leave, she continues to slander him. She is simply inhuman."
“…”
For a moment, everyone was talking about it, blaming Su Liyue.
Although the sound was small, Su Liyue still heard some of it.
However, Su Liyue was not angry about this. After all, she never cared about reputation.
However, Su Liyue could sense Shangguan Ruoning's brilliance from these discussions.
I'm afraid her move is a retreat in order to advance.
In this way, Shangguan Ruoning was sympathized with, praised, and supported by the people, and won the hearts of the people; while Su Liyue once again bore and confirmed the labels of "vicious" and "destroying people's marriages".
Sure enough, people who are unanimously praised by everyone are not simple. Everything they do is calculated. After all, there are not so many perfect people in this world.
But, something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Shangguan Ruoning's actions should not just be for the sake of people's hearts and reputation.
After all, after waiting for five years, how could he say such words so easily and block her way to enter the palace in the future?
Thinking of this, Su Liyue couldn't help but look at Shangguan Ruoning, and then their eyes met.
There seemed to be invisible flames flashing in the air.
Su Liyue could clearly see the resentment that flashed across Shangguan Ruoning's eyes.
"Sister, are you satisfied with this?" Shangguan Ruoning looked at Su Liyue and asked.
The question sounded somewhat forced and compromising.
