Chapter 170 A Dog Catching a Mouse
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Looking at Xu Shan'er's expression, Liu Ruyue knew she was doing it on purpose.
But she really couldn't refute it today. She glared angrily at Xu Shan'er and immediately headed upstairs.
"Princess, please wait."
A clear female voice rang out, and Gu Shuyan turned around to find that it was Miss He, whom she had met before.
"Miss He, is there something you need?"
Clearly, Princess Ruyue and He Ruyan knew each other, but they weren't particularly close.
"Ruyan was just feeling indignant on behalf of the princess."
As He Ruyan spoke, she walked towards Ruyue. When her gaze met Gu Shuyan's, she lingered on her for two more seconds.
"The princess's status is noble, bestowed by His Majesty himself. If word gets out that Miss Xu is showing such disrespect to the princess, wouldn't people say that Miss Xu is disrespectful to the royal family?"
Liu Ruyan looked down at Xu Shan'er, her threat obvious, but Xu Shan'er didn't take her seriously at all.
These people are clearly meddling in other people's business; it's none of their concern to interfere in her affairs.
"When did it become your business to interfere in my affairs?"
Xu Shan'er glared at He Ruyan as she spoke, then turned to Princess Ruyue, "Liu Ruyue, are you trying to renege on your promise?"
Princess Ruyue was initially pleased to see someone speak up for her, but Xu Shan'er's last words immediately dampened her spirits.
She is a person of status, after all. If word gets out that she is cheating, what face will she, as a princess, have left?
"Who said they were going to renege? Lead the way."
With her neck stiff and her head held high, Princess Ruyue said forcefully.
He's still just a child; he speaks and acts quite impulsively.
Gu Shuyan watched the two children walk upstairs and was about to follow when He Ruyan said from behind, unwilling to accept it: "Miss Xu treats the princess like this. Does the princess really want to be ordered around by her? The princess is at least half a member of the royal family. How can she be looked down upon like this?"
He Ruyan's voice carried a hint of anxiety, and Gu Shuyan couldn't help but turn around and glance at her again upon hearing this.
"Why is Miss He doing everything she can to prevent the princess from fulfilling her bet with Miss Xu? Is Miss He deliberately trying to make the princess break her promise and become a laughing stock for the whole world?"
Gu Shuyan originally didn't want to meddle, but He Ruyan clearly didn't intend to let them leave, and even seemed to be deliberately trying to pin a charge of disrespecting the royal family on Xu Shan'er.
She really went to great lengths for that man, but I wonder if he instructed her to do so.
It wasn't that Gu Shuyan underestimated Lu Youming; it was just that the man's character was terrible.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Who gives you the right to speak here?"
When He Ruyan saw Gu Shuyan, her expression darkened even more. She already disliked this country girl, and now that the girl dared to speak up, He Ruyan naturally wanted to stand up for Lu Youming.
Hearing He Ruyan's words, Gu Shuyan almost burst out laughing.
Sure enough, there are still so many people in this capital who don't take her seriously, just like in her previous life, and will do anything to trample on her without holding back.
"So, Miss Yihe, where is it appropriate for me to speak?"
The question left He Ruyan speechless. Originally, she only wanted to intimidate the other party with her aura, but she never expected that Gu Shuyan would not only not be intimidated by her aura, but would instead be surprised by the other party's aura.
Is she really a wild girl from the countryside?
