He countered Su Hao and watched with satisfaction as Chu Yihan’s expression grew darker.
Su Yingxue wanted to give Chu Chengye two tight slaps. Who the hell had pleasant conversations with him?!
Not to mention that she had no interest in engaging with him now. Even in the past, when had they ever exchanged proper words?
Gifts… That was a result of her blindness!
Su Yingxue suddenly felt two sharp gazes directed at her. She sneakily glanced at Chu Yihan, whose eyes carried a bloodthirsty aura. Her innocent doe-like eyes blinked, and she shook her head, signaling, “Your Highness, I didn’t! 1 didn’t!”
“Please, believe me!”
However, Chu Yihan didn’t believe her and shot her a cold look.
Su Yingxue looked up at the sky, exasperated. Her feet ached.
Why had she moved such heavy stones to hurt herself in her past life?
“Emperor, just as Seventh Prince said, 1 did indeed prepare some talents. However, after falling behind others, the performance may not be very exciting. I’m just not sure, does the empress wish to see it?” Su Yingxue winked playfully.
The empress sneered. “Why wouldn’t I watch? Su Yingxue, just give me a good performance!”
To have Su Yingxue perform for her, the empress had finally scored a point for herself.
Su Yingxue smiled sweetly. “Then, please forgive me for the crime of delaying you.”
“I forgive you!” The empress responded with a cold smile.
Chu Jinling looked at Su Yingxue with concern. “Auntie, are you sure you can do this?”
He had heard that Su Yingxue was utterly inept at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and dancing! Her knowledge was likely limited to her medical skills, right?
Su Yingxue pushed him playfully. “Go back and watch carefully!”
Chu Jinling returned to his seat and discreetly approached Chu Yihan. He was still a bit anxious. “Imperial Uncle, should you go help Auntie? What if she gets ridiculed later?”
Chu Yihan leisurely poured himself a glass of wine. “Who would dare to ridicule her?”
“The empress, her sister Su Yurou, and many other madams and young ladies!”
“Anyone who mocks her, I’ll deal with them.”
Chu Yihan had always been ruthless.
His words sent shivers down Chu Jinling’s spine. He hastily retreated to his seat and remained quiet.
It was too frightening!
Imperial Aunt was incredibly formidable.
Imperial Uncle was not to be trifled with!
Chu Chengye returned to his seat and downed a gulp of wine. “Su Yingxue, since you refuse to submit to me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
When Su Yingxue was the only one left in the middle of the Cool Breeze Terrace, she retrieved the red jade soft whip from her waist.
Upon seeing the whip, Lin Sisi laughed cheerfully. “Dr. Su is truly amazing. She definitely won’t lag!”
Wu Ruofei, standing nearby, sneered. “Rude and uncouth! She doesn’t exhibit a bit of feminine charm. She’ll have trouble finding a husband!”
“You speak as if you’re going to marry well and better than Dr. Su!” Lin Sisi rolled her eyes at Wu Ruofei and raised her fist. “If you say that again, I’ll let you taste my fist!”
Wu Ruofei’s petite face wrinkled up in grievance. Su Yurou consoled her, “Ruofei, you’re going to be my future sister-in-law, so don’t fuss about this. When you marry into the Marquis’s Manor, my sister will naturally have to address you as sister-in-law!”
Wu Ruofei’s anger was instantly quelled. “Yeah, if she dares not to call me sister-in-law, I’ll teach her a lesson!”
However, the more delighted she became, the more worried Madam Wu grew..
