“Did Sister endure grievances? I thought Sister despised me as her elder sister and acknowledged the Eldest Princess as her elder sister! Otherwise, why would Sister suddenly be so close to the Eldest Princess when she was at home accompanying Father? Sister had never even left Jiang Du City before, so how did she suddenly get to know the Eldest Princess? I’m curious!”
Su Yingxue sighed softly. Her words made everyone understand that Su Yurou had not fulfilled her responsibility to take care of her father and had unknowingly walked together with Han Yuwen. She was probably doing this on purpose to harm Su Yingxue.
Han Yuwen’s face darkened.
Su Yurou instantly became the target of public criticism. Originally, Liu Shulan’s poisoning of her father had caused them to be despised by tens of thousands of people.
Now that Su Yingxue had pointed this out in public, everyone looked at her with disdain.
She gritted her teeth. At this moment, she could only lower her head and endure it. She said with tears, “Sister is right. Everything is my fault. However, 1 can’t bear to see Sister force herself to compete with the princess even though you don’t know how to play chess. It’s embarrassing and hurting your self-esteem.”
Su Yurou’s words were sincere. Coupled with her tears, these fabricated words sounded a little real.
Su Yingxue narrowed her eyes slightly. “How do you know that I don’t know how to play chess?”
Su Yurou wiped her tears and said softly, “Sister has never liked music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Occasionally, she would play with knives and spears. Her medical skills are all strange. How can she win against the princess? Sister, why don’t you apologize to the princess and let this competition end here!”
Su Yurou was very considerate of Su Yingxue. She even turned around and knelt in front of Han Yuwen. “Eldest Princess, sister is not good at chess. Please be magnanimous and don’t embarrass my sister. Please spare my sister.”
Not only did she lose face by lowering herself in front of Han Yuwen, but she also dragged Su Yingxue’s reputation to the bottom.
The crowd discussed animatedly.
The news that Su Yingxue had defeated Han Yuwen was covered in a layer of doubt.
“So it was just an act. How could she win against Princess Yuwen?”
“I knew it! She’s the daughter of a general, how could she know such elegant things like chess?”
“Hurry up and admit defeat!”
Su Yingxu heard those mocking words. She was about to retort when she heard Chu Yihan’s intimidating voice. “1 saw Su Yingxue defeat Han Yuwen with my own eyes. Who dares to slander her!”
“That’s right! I also saw it with my own eyes, a win is a win. If Su Yingxue didn’t win against the Eldest Princess that day, why would the Eldest Princess compete today?” Qin Muyan said loudly.
He stood on the other side of Su Yingxue. He and Chu Yihan each emitted a powerful aura, protecting Su Yingxue like two gods.
Su Yurou’s heart trembled violently, and her lowered eyes were filled with hatred.
Han Yuwen slowly stood up, her face as cold as ice. “Your Highness, don’t be happy too early! Winning once was a fluke! Today, she, Su Yingxue, will not have a chance to be lucky again!”
“It’s a good thing that the princess is confident. Coincidentally, what 1 like to do the most is to crush the mysterious confidence of others!”
This time, there was no need for the two to protect her. Su Yingxue stood up and said steadily.
Han Yuwen waved her hand. “Men! Prepare the chessboard!”
She got up and was about to walk into the pavilion. The pavilions of the Perching Phoenix Palace were all exceptionally gorgeous. In order to make Su Yingxue embarrass herself, Han Yuwen had specially ordered someone to make a large chessboard and put it outside the pavilion so that everyone could see the process of her playing chess with Su Yingxue..
