"Oh, I was wondering who was shamelessly tossing silver down there. Turns out it's our famous Princess Changfu! But really, your taste is quite questionable if even a mere guard catches your eye!" The sarcastic voice of Qin Ruoruo chimed in.
Ye Jiu helplessly rolled her eyes and then fiddled with her ears.
This girl is just like her father, with a face that makes people want to punch it.
"By chance, I was also puzzled about who was screaming like a ghost next door and tossing sachets at people." Ye Jiu suddenly let out a few strange laughs, "What a pity, such enthusiasm, but all for naught, as the poor sachet exploded into smoke without ever getting close to its target."
Ye Jiu, being the legitimate daughter of Prince Jing and already a Commandery Princess, had a title granted by the Emperor. Although Qin Ruoruo was of the Crown Prince's lineage, she had no title and wasn't the eldest daughter, so Ye Jiu outranked her completely.
"You... Qin Jiu, how dare you say that I screamed like a ghost? You're too much..." Qin Ruoruo was furious and embarrassed.
Ye Jiu had seen plenty of rural women hurling insults since she was a child. Moreover, they had an expert insulter, Madam He, in their family.
So, in Ye Jiu's eyes, Qin Ruoruo's few feeble words were truly powerless in battle. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this Commandery Princess has seen a lot, but never seen anyone come asking to be insulted!" Ye Jiu commented, her expression animated while shaking her head in apparent disbelief.
"You..." Qin Ruoruo, also raised in a pampered environment, couldn't tolerate being mocked , so she immediately became outraged.
However, having witnessed Ye Jiu's martial arts once before, which left her with a black and blue face and kept her indoors for half a month, she didn't dare to fight.
"Qin Jiu, don't be too arrogant, just you wait!" Eventually, Qin Ruoruo could only spout harsh words as she left in a huff.
Leaving, Qin Ruoruo kicked the door but ended up hurting her own toe. Concerned about saving face, she didn't even dare show her pain and had to endure it quietly as she left.
In the back, Ye Qingzhi worriedly glanced at Ye Jiu, "Aunt, she is the Crown Prince's daughter..." She wanted to say more, but didn't dare to indicate her concerns of offending someone when the Crown Prince would eventually become the Emperor.
But Ye Jiu was unconcerned, "Don't worry, I can handle her. As for you, if you run into her, just avoid her, don't let yourself suffer, and come find me if anything happens."
"Okay, got it." Ye Qingzhi nodded obediently.
What Ye Jiu said was indeed true. From the moment her identity was exposed, she already offended the Crown Prince.
Over the years, the Crown Prince had openly and secretly plotted against her, and it wasn't the first time. The great fire that befell the Ye Family back then was also orchestrated by the Crown Prince's orders.
Though there was never any evidence, Ye Jiu firmly believed he was the culprit.
Moreover, ever since coming to the capital, he constantly targeted her, which was undeniably a fact.
However, one thing still puzzled Ye Jiu, and that was the old Emperor's inexplicable affection towards her.
Prince Jing's love for her was understandable as he was her biological father, but the old Emperor probably couldn't even recognize his own grandchildren among the masses, yet he singled her out for favor.
