Su Qingyu's lips curled down slightly, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. As the saying goes, "Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner."
Now that Su Ruanruan and her maid dared to hit her maid, isn't that the same as slapping her in the face in public?
But remembering that the princess was currently in the carriage, she took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and quickly put on a smiling expression. "This maid of mine was trained by my own hands. I don't know where she has offended you, sister."
Su Ruanruan looked her up and down, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Insolent and disrespectful, it seems your training of him wasn't very effective..."
Upon hearing this answer, Su Qingyu was speechless, her face turning pale and then red. This was undoubtedly the most direct humiliation and a slap in the face for her.
A flash of anger appeared in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. Su Ruanruan found this quite amusing.
She most enjoys seeing the seemingly innocent Bai Lian shed her disguise and reveal her true self.
As expected, Su Qingyu took a few steps closer to Su Ruanruan and said in a low voice, "Hmph, you country bumpkin, all you have is your beauty. No wonder Mu Bai abandoned you."
Su Ruanruan suddenly grabbed Su Qingyu's neck, her fingers tightening forcefully.
"What are you doing? Let go of my young lady!" a maidservant cried out in panic.
"You wretched creature, what exactly do you want to do!" a furious roar rang out.
Su Ruanruan turned her head slightly and glanced around casually. She saw Princess Jingyi, who was wearing a dazzling headdress adorned with jewels, glaring angrily at her. She was walking hurriedly and seemed very anxious.
As Princess Jingyi approached, Su Ruanruan felt a little dazed, her figure slowly overlapping with that of her mother from the depths of her memory.
In an instant, those memories buried deep in her heart surged up like a tide, overwhelming her.
She remembered herself as a child, practicing piano and dance day and night. Back then, her mother would always glare at her fiercely, just like she did now, constantly muttering, "You useless brat! What are you crying for! If you don't work harder, how will you ever surpass that woman's daughter..."
Memories of the past flashed through her mind, playing on a loop like scenes from a movie. Su Ruanruan felt a tightness in her throat, an unbearable soreness.
The hand that had been tightly gripping Su Qingyu's neck suddenly lost its strength and involuntarily loosened its grip.
However, the next moment, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Qingyu's hair, pulled it hard, and at the same time kicked the other's knees, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
Seeing this, Su Qingyu's personal maid hurriedly tried to help her mistress up, but was blocked by the purple mist and could not get any closer.
At this moment, Su Ruanruan's bloodshot and unusually crimson eyes darted back and forth between Princess Jingyi and Su Qingyu.
"If I am a wicked child, then what is she?" Su Ruanruan's voice was icy cold.
"You, you let her go!" Jingyi pointed at Su Ruanruan with wide, angry eyes, her voice trembling with rage. "You are utterly lawless and shameless, daring to compete with a woman of the night! You've disgraced the Su family! I only asked Qingyu to advise you, but you're completely unable to distinguish right from wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ruanruan burst into laughter, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "The Su family's face? This Su is not that Su. My godfather's surname is Su, so naturally I am also surnamed Su. What does it have to do with you!"
"So what if I'm shameless? What's it to you, you old hag?" Su Ruanruan retorted without backing down.
"I thought you could raise any good people, but you're just a bunch of scoundrels who can't be presented in public."
After saying that, she suddenly yanked Su Qingyu's hair hard, causing the other girl to scream in pain.
"You little slut, how dare you collude with others to steal my jade pendant, attempting to frame me for pushing Madam Huo into the water..."
"Are you disappointed that you didn't succeed?"
Su Qingyu's face was deathly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably. The fact that her victory had seemingly been secured had gone awry was something she simply couldn't accept. Who would have thought that Fu Xinrou would not only categorically deny it, but even defend Su Ruanruan?
She had initially thought that even if the plan didn't succeed, at least it wouldn't backfire. However, what puzzled her now was how Su Ruanruan knew all of this.
Princess Jingyi noticed Su Qingyu's momentary look of panic, but she didn't say anything. She simply pursed her lips and said, "Don't spout nonsense. Don't ruin Qingyu's reputation."
"Qingyu is not only a princess, but will also become the Princess Consort of Rui. If you continue to act recklessly, are you not afraid of the Emperor's punishment?"
Su Ruanruan slowly raised her head, her eyes cold. She suddenly kicked Su Qingyu hard, sending her sprawling to the ground, and said coldly, "Princess Rui? Heh, your ambitions probably go far beyond this! Too bad, you've chosen the wrong person..."
However, before Su Ruanruan could finish speaking, a scream suddenly rang out.
It turned out that Bai Ruan, who had just been affectionately leaning on Su Ruanruan's shoulder, let out a shrill scream and then fell heavily to the ground behind her.
Its snow-white fur was stained crimson with blood, and it lay on the ground howling in agony.
Su Ruanruan felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and a sharp pain shot through her chest. Bai Ruan was the most precious gift Mu Bai had left her, holding so many beautiful and unforgettable memories.
It was Su Ruowu! How could he be so cruel as to harm it...?
No, it should be said that the person he originally wanted to hurt was actually her, but Bai Ruan jumped out without hesitation to protect her from harm!
