From the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion came the sound of boards hitting flesh, which was painful to hear.
Cheng Jinwu was a man of integrity. He endured it and didn't shout out. He just raised his head, gritted his teeth and looked at Su Liyue angrily, as if he wanted to eat Su Liyue alive.
Su Liyue met Cheng Jinwu's gaze coldly, without a trace of fear in her eyes, and she looked calm and composed.
Looking at Su Liyue like this, Cheng Jinwu felt even more pain and almost broke his teeth.
Shangguan Ruoning watched Cheng Jinwu being beaten with a puzzled look and deep eyes.
After Cheng Jinwu had been beaten with ten boards, Shangguan Ruoning finally spoke, pleading with Su Liyue, "Sister, please tell them to stop. The Cheng family is not something we in the Zhan Palace can easily offend."
Before he even entered the door, he already looked like someone from the War Prince's Palace.
Su Liyue only glanced at Shangguan Ruoning coldly, then her gaze fell on Cheng Jinwu and she said coldly, "I want to see how the Cheng family cannot be offended."
No matter how powerful the Cheng family is, can they surpass the royal family?
If that were the case, then she would have nothing to fear.
Shangguan Ruoning heard this and immediately said, "Sister——"
"Don't call me sister. I don't have a sister like you. Just call me Princess." Su Liyue interrupted Shangguan Ruoning coldly. She didn't like the sister and younger sister talk.
Shangguan Ruoning's expression froze slightly, and she gritted her teeth before saying, "Princess, please release Master Cheng."
No matter what, Cheng Jinwu was beaten for defending her, so it would be inappropriate for her to keep silent.
Cheng Jinwu had already been beaten with more than a dozen boards by this time, and his forehead was covered with sweat from the pain. However, he was very moved when he heard Shangguan Ruoning pleading for him, so he shouted, "Miss Shangguan, there is no need to beg her, I'm fine - hiss -"
Because of his words, Cheng Jinwu couldn't help but let out a hissing sound, which made him feel a little embarrassed. So he glared at Su Liyue fiercely and took note of her in his heart.
After the beating was over, Shangguan Ruoning looked at Cheng Jinwu with a look of dismay, but said nothing more.
After thirty strokes of the cane, Cheng Jinwu was half dead.
Because he didn't bring any followers with him today, he had to get up from the ground by himself, looking very embarrassed.
Cheng Jinwu raised his hand and was about to point at Su Liyue. Su Liyue glared at Cheng Jinwu, "What? You still want to be spanked?"
Cheng Jinwu: "..." The outstretched hand bent down.
But after realizing that his action was very spineless, Cheng Jinwu's face became even uglier.
But in the end, Cheng Jinwu didn't dare point his finger at Su Liyue anymore. He just said viciously, "Su Liyue, just wait and see. I won't let you go."
Just, a look of shouting.
Su Liyue looked at Cheng Jinwu, sizing him up and down, a hint of sarcasm on her lips, "I was wondering why you helped her so much, but it turns out you are the one who can't even enjoy it, tsk tsk——"
Cheng Jinwu was stunned when he heard this and looked at Su Liyue with suspicion, "What do you mean?"
There was a hint of wariness and nervousness in his eyes, as if some secret was being seen by someone.
Su Liyue did not answer him, but just glanced under Cheng Jinwu.
Cheng Jinwu: "..." His face suddenly turned red and he subconsciously clamped his legs together.
However, he had just been hit with a stick, and the force caused a piercing pain in his buttocks. For a moment, Cheng Jinwu's expression became a little grim.
However, Su Liyue just gave Cheng Jinwu a meaningful look and ignored him.
However, Su Liyue's eyes strangely made Cheng Jinwu silent.
Everyone's eyes were shifting between Su Liyue and Cheng Jinwu, some not understanding what was going on.
Being stared at, Cheng Jinwu's face turned red.
He wanted to leave, but after taking one look at Shangguan Ruoning, he forced himself to stay.
Su Liyue looked at Cheng Jinwu and sighed inwardly.
It seems that it is true love.
Or the kind that doesn't ask for anything in return... Of course, even if he wanted something in return, he probably doesn't have the ability to do it now.
Thinking of this, Su Liyue shifted her gaze from Cheng Jinwu to Shangguan Ruoning.
After a quick look, Su Liyue slowly spoke, "Are you really going back to Prince Zhan's Mansion today?"
Shangguan Ruoning withdrew her gaze from Cheng Jinwu upon hearing this, her face filled with determination. "Since I'm here today, there's absolutely no reason for me to go back."
She looked as if she would not compromise even if Su Liyue tried to stop her, and successfully shifted everyone's attention from Cheng Jinwu to Su Liyue.
Everyone stared at Su Liyue angrily, as if they were going to drown her with saliva if she blocked Shangguan Ruoning's way back to the palace.
There are really a lot of supporters.
However, Su Liyue remained calm and nodded unexpectedly, "Okay, since you're so eager to become the prince's concubine, as the principal wife, there's no reason for me to stop you. I'm sure the prince will be very happy."
Shangguan Ruoning: “…” She didn’t expect Su Liyue to agree so easily.
But, what does it mean to rush to be a concubine?
She is a concubine after all!
Shangguan Ruoning's face looked unhappy, but Su Liyue had no intention of continuing to care about Shangguan Ruoning. She just said lightly, "Do as you please," and turned to leave.
Anyway, she has already solved the problem, and it would be a waste of time to stay here any longer. She might as well spend more time with Xiao Yuer.
As for why Shangguan Ruoning was welcomed into the house?
