Chu Mingyuan reprimanded her and decided to say a few more words. “You were never Shu Li’s daughter. You were born from a concubine. Old General Su was kind enough to allow the children from concubines to enter the household. You should show respect to the legitimate eldest daughter and serve her well. However, I can see that you have shown no respect to your sister and have overstepped your boundaries. It is truly unacceptable! I won’t punish a weak woman like you today, but I will tell Marquis of Martial South about this and let him rectify the atmosphere in the Marquis’s Manor!”
Su Yurou trembled in fear, feeling like a sieve being held tightly.
On the other hand, Su Yingxue felt quite pleased with the situation.
She received her rewards and left the palace. Lan Ling arranged a carriage for her, and Chu Yihan accompanied her, holding her hand. “I will escort you back to the manor.”
Su Yingxue wanted to reject him.
She had already caused Chu Yihan a lot of trouble. Today’s conflict between him and the emperor had made her afraid.
However, when she saw Su Yurou following behind, noticing her closeness with Chu Yihan, her eyes were filled with raging jealousy.
She decided not to pull her hand away from Chu Yihan. Instead, she slightly raised the corner of her mouth and sweetly said, “Very well, thank you, Your Highness.”
Chu Yihan, with a mischievous smile on his face, intended to help her into the carriage.
Su Yurou’s throat went dry. She wished she could tear Su Yingxue apart.
She shamelessly ran to the side of the carriage. “Sister, please take Rou’er back to the manor with you. Rou’er hasn’t seen Daddy for a long time and misses him dearly.”
Su Yingxue sat in the carriage and opened the curtain. She said indifferently, “You can go back by yourself. Why do you have to ride with me?”
Su Yurou’s face turned red from being rejected in front of the palace guards. “I don’t have a carriage… Sister, please take me with you. I miss father.”
“It’s none of my business that you miss your father. You can hire a carriage and go back by yourself. How can you lose your way inside the palace? The palace is not a place for idlers.” Su Yingxue laughed heartily, feeling particularly delighted to scold Su Yurou.
Behind Lan Ling, a few palace guards were secretly laughing, saying that when the time came, they would make Su Yurou leave.
Su Yurou was driven to tears by the bullying. She knew she could leave the palace, but she wanted to leave with Chu Yihan.
Why should Chu Yihan be the one to send Su Yingxue back to the manor, while she couldn’t even hitch a ride?
Su Yurou had confidence in her teary-eyed appearance, so she approached Chu Yihan and spoke in a weak and delicate voice, “Your Highness, I am weak and frail. Please have mercy on me and bring me back to the manor. I will be eternally grateful and repay you in the future…”
Chu Yihan responded by closing the carriage window with a bang.
He didn’t even spare her a glance.
Chu Yihan’s action made the palace guards and attendants, who were previously holding back their laughter, burst into laughter.
Lan Ling turned around and scolded them, “Shut up!”
The palace guards immediately stopped laughing, but everyone was still looking at Su Yurou as if she were a joke.
Su Yurou’s eyes lit up, thinking that Lan Ling had a favorable impression of her. She turned to approach Lan Ling, intending to ask her to take her back, acting weak and fragile.
However, Lan Ling glanced at her and simply said, “Miss Su, please make way.” Su Yurou was petrified on the spot.
Seeing that Su Yurou didn’t make way, Lan Ling waved his hand, and two palace servants brushed her aside. Then, he cleared the way for Su Yingxue and escorted her back to the manor.
Su Yurou sat by the palace wall, crying out loud. “Su Yingxue, you bully… You all bully me!”
She only cried for a short while before she walked toward the palace gate with her delicate steps.
If she didn’t leave quickly, the empress would find trouble with her..
