Chapter 168: Slapping Faces Without Order

eside Jun Liye, her dark and bright eyes scrutinizing his handsome face without blinking. “It’s such a waste not to be a cowherd with such good looks.”Ugh, look at those features, those eyes and eyebr...Su Qingying wore a pale purple Xiuhai Tang pleated Ruyi Yue skirt today, with a layer of light gauze over it, elegant and refined.

Three thousand strands of silken hair were styled into a double bun, revealing a smooth forehead. The bun was adorned with several white orchid blossoms, giving off an air of freshness and beauty. This ethereal touch added to her already stunning appearance, making her seem otherworldly and beyond the realm of ordinary women.

“Miss, you forgot, this teahouse is run by His Royal Highness the Prince. This is the most profitable teahouse in Dongyue.” Yuer explained with a smile. She didn't tell her that originally this teahouse belonged to the Jiangning Hou Mansion, and afterwards, because of her various reasons, it was bought by His Royal Highness the Prince.

"No wonder, Brother Emperor has good eyesight, alright, we've been sitting for ages, let's go for a stroll." Su Qingying rubbed her shoulders and stood up just about to leave when she suddenly heard a burst of laughter from upstairs. The people around also couldn't help but wear mocking expressions upon hearing it.

"Word has it that tomorrow is the annual Hundred Flowers Festival in Dongxuan. I hear from people in the palace that even the willful princess will be attending. Isn't this inviting trouble"

Su Qingying lightly raised her foot and retracted it, her eyes involuntarily glancing upwards. "Damn it, how can I hear myself being talked about everywhere I go" She was born to be unlucky, wasn't she

"Miss, let's go." Xi'er was afraid that Su Qingying would be unhappy after hearing this, so she quickly pulled her away.

"There's no need to rush. Let's hear what they have to say." With a slight smile, Su Qingying wasn't so fragile that she would flee in fear at the sound of criticism. In fact, she wanted to understand how much resentment the people held against her so she could later clear her name and restore her reputation.

"Miss..." Xi'er hesitated, truly worried that the villagers' words would hurt her heart. But Su Qingying looked determined to hear it all, "Come on, let's go take a look."

"It's just, with her lack of talent, beauty, and charisma, she's a complete joke."

After finishing, another round of laughter erupted, all expressing the sentiment that Su Qingying was overreaching and shameless.

Although that's what they say, my uncle who works in the government told me that this willful princess seems different after returning from Xi Ming.

As soon as these words were uttered, someone immediately chimed in, "That's right, that's right! I heard about it too. They say she even silenced Concubine De and several others in the main hall."

And she was like a different person altogether. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but she was also quick-witted and eloquent. It's entirely possible that she could shine brightly at the Hundred Flowers Assembly.

Upstairs, chaos erupted, with a cacophony of voices rising and falling.

Su Qingying found an empty seat and sat behind everyone. Her stunning face was expressionless, showing neither joy nor anger, completely like a spectator.

Just as the crowd was arguing heatedly, the door to a nearby private room suddenly opened, and several beautiful women walked out.

"Hmph, Su Qingying What is she! She's just an idiot. Even if she participates in the Hundred Flowers Assembly, what difference will it make In the end, she'll still be overshadowed by Miss Jiang." A woman in green spoke out loudly, her sharp and sarcastic face full of mockery towards Su Qingying. This woman was Fei Zhen, the second daughter of the Minister of Household.

"Of course, she only relies on her princess status. What abilities could she possibly have How can she compare to me!" a crimson-clad woman said arrogantly, she was Jiang Ninghou Mansion's eldest daughter, Jiang Bebe.

Jiang Beibei's other lackey, Li Yun, also joined in flattering her: "As everyone knows, Sister Jiang is a famous beauty in our Dongyue. She's not only beautiful but also talented. How can she be compared to that ugly Su Qingying Just looking at the birthmark on her face makes me want to vomit!"

"Hahaha..." The crowd burst into laughter.

"Miss, they're simply too much!" Xi'er mingled with Su Qingying in the crowd, listening to their harsh mockery. Xi'er was so angry that her little face flushed red.

"Hmm, heard." Su Qingying glanced at her lightly, with a faint smile. Her five fingers on the table clenched and unclenched, two silver needles flashing coldly between them, flying towards Li Yun's direction with three points of force.

She is the most vengeful person, she will definitely retaliate if wronged. If she doesn't teach them a lesson, she wouldn't be Su Qingying!

"Ah!" Li Yun's knee inexplicably shot a pain, his body involuntarily leaning forward. Everyone dodged to make way, and Li Yun knelt straight in front of Su Qingying.

"Ah! My knee, it hurts so much!" Li Yun cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. She tried to stand several times but couldn't get up. She glared angrily at those around her, "Who is it Which scoundrel dared to scheme against this young lady! Come out!"

“What To dare scheme against me under my very nose, how utterly audacious!” Though she wasn't the one who was beaten, Jiang Beibei felt her authority had been challenged. Crossing her arms, she pointed at the crowd and roared, “Whoever did it, come forward now! Or else, I’ll have you all arrested and brought to justice!”

"That's right, I'll send all of you to the authorities!" Fei was being a typical bully, pretending to have power.

When this was said, the surroundings fell silent. They were just standing there watching the show, who knows why Li Yun knelt down for no reason Now they are actually going to send them all to the authorities, without any evidence, it's simply too much!

For a long time, no one stepped forward. Jiang Bebe's face was very ugly, just about to explode, when a sarcastic voice rang out slowly, “When this princess returned, Miss Li immediately showed this princess such great respect. This princess is very pleased.”

"It's you Was it you who plotted against me!" Li Yun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, pointing at Su Qingying with a ferocious expression, not noticing her self-identification.

Su Qingying turned her face and looked at them, shrugging her shoulders, "I didn't say anything."

Just now, Su Qingying was facing them sideways, so they couldn't see her face. Now that she turned to face them, everyone was stunned by her beauty.

My goodness, what a face! Exquisitely sculpted features, almond eyes that naturally exude allure, skin like that of a peeled egg, pearly white with a hint of delicate pink. Those lips, not quite red but tinged with a captivating sheen, beckon for a passionate kiss.

"Who are you I've never seen you before." Women are naturally envious of those who are more beautiful than themselves, let alone someone like Jiang Beibei, who is so jealous! She would rather rip her face off!

Li Yun was also so jealous that her eyes were blazing, she staggered to her feet and charged at her, "Bitch, I'm going to kill you for framing me!"

Her nails were very long. If she scratched Su Qingying's face, it would definitely ruin her face.

"Looking for death!" Upon catching sight of her fingernails, Su Qingying's face darkened. She grabbed Xi'er and retreated a few steps, then immediately kicked Li Yun back with a swift kick as he charged.

"Ouch!" Su Qingying kicked her in the chest, making her gasp for air.

"You audacious scoundrel! To dare lay your hands on this lady in broad daylight, you must be tired of living!" Jiang Beibei's willow eyebrows shot up, "Come here, seize this wretch!"

"I'll see who dares!" Su Qingying sneered, shaking a dragon-shaped jade pendant in her hand. "This is the Emperor's personal jade pendant. Seeing this object is like seeing him. I'll see who dares to be so bold!"'re in love. How could I possibly ruin their happiness" He was so worried he might choke on his anger and ascend to heaven, Zhao Tianyu hurriedly came over patted his back, helping him calm down. He...
