However, now that she could come back to life, Lin Sisi would undoubtedly be able to change her destiny and make a new path for herself.
Su Yurou’s carriage followed Su Yingxue’s, and she observed the actions of Su Yingxue and Lin Sisi.
Seating in the carriage, she bit her lip and muttered, “Su Yingxue, you don’t know what’s good for you!”
“Exactly! Miss, not only did she not know what was good for her, she ruined the Seventh Prince’s intentions and did not put you in her eyes! And that Lin Sisi, she’s ungrateful, forgetting how you consoled her when all the esteemed ladies looked down on her!” Yuan Ruo defended Su Yurou from the side.
Seeing the person alight from the other carriage, Su Yurou’s lips curled slightly. “My mother told me to observe Su Yingxue closely today. So, I’ll do just that!”
Today, there were plenty of people ready to cause trouble for Su Yingxue!
Su Yingxue had made arrangements with Lin Sisi to go hunting in the forest after the noon banquet, to stretch their muscles and relax.
However, now she had important matters to attend to.
After Lin Sisi departed, Su Yingxue softly called, “Zi Wei!”
The dark figure landed silently.
Su Yingxue asked, “Where is Sheng Ping?”
“To the east, about five miles away, at the edge of the woods.” Zi Wei’s voice was hoarse.
“Is there someone accompanying her?”
With a plan in mind, Su Yingxue headed east.
Sheng Ping was pinned against a tree by Chu Xiuwen, and his hands began to wander.
Feeling humiliated, Sheng Ping dared not make a sound. She clenched her lips tightly.
Only after Chu Xiuwen found satisfaction did he release his grip on Sheng Ping.
He forcefully turned her face and compelled her lips into a kiss. “Don’t always act so superior. You’ve been utterly used by me, yet you remain silent. Wait until tonight…Hmph.”
A trace of malice glinted in his eyes. Leaving Sheng Ping behind, he turned and walked away, his gaze searching the hunting grounds for other potential “prey” he could catch.
Su Yingxue stood to the side, waiting for Sheng Ping to tidy herself up before walking out slowly.
Sheng Ping hadn’t expected to encounter Su Yingxue here.
A flicker of panic crossed her peach-like face. “Su… Dr. Su!”
Su Yingxue offered a faint smile. “Hello, Princess. 1 happened to be nearby, taking a stroll, and 1 noticed you alone here. Is everything alright, Princess?”
Su Yingxue’s words sliced through Sheng Ping like a blade.
From Su Yingxue’s tone, Sheng Ping deduced that she hadn’t simply been out for a walk. She must have witnessed what had happened!
Sheng Ping closed her eyes in pain. Tears of humiliation welled up, “Since Dr. Su saw, are you here to mock me?”
“I’m not interested in that.”
“Then you…” Sheng Ping bit her lip. She couldn’t read Su Yingxue’s intentions.
She had seen Chu Xiuwen mistreating her. Both she and Chu Xiuwen had given her a handle to hold onto.
Yet, now she remained so calm, showing no emotions at all, leaving Sheng Ping unsettled.
Suspecting something, Sheng Ping inquired, “Dr. Su, did you deliberately come to find me today to ask… about your mother?”
Su Yingxue clicked her tongue. “To be exact, I’m here for a deal with the princess.”
“A deal?” Confusion flickered in Sheng Ping’s eyes.
“I will help the princess deal with Chu Xiuwen in exchange for you telling me about your mother and my mother. 1 want to know everything about my mother in your memories.” Su Yingxue’s composed demeanor demanded respect..
