As expected, Chen Ye impatiently pulled Li Yu Niang to leave, "I was in a hurry to go out today, and I didn't bring enough money. Besides, the headdress was chosen by the young lady first, so I should give it to her."

Su Yunling couldn't help but burst out laughing. This guy was quite good at saving his own face.

"What are you laughing at? Can you afford it?" Li Yu Niang noticed the sneer in Su Yunling's eyes and became furious.

It turned out that Li Yu Niang also knew that Chen Ye just couldn't afford it.

Su Yunling restrained his smile and looked at the shopkeeper, "I want it."

The wrinkles on the shopkeeper's face suddenly relaxed, and he suppressed his excitement and carefully took Su Yunling to the counter to pay.

Li Yu Niang was so angry that she jumped up and down, cursing without restraint: "She is so generous, who knows where the money comes from? She dare not even show her face, maybe she is from some brothel."

Su Yunling stopped abruptly upon hearing this, turned around and said to Mrs. Zhao behind him, "Slap me in the face."

"Yes, county lady." Mrs. Zhao had just that idea and could no longer hold back.

"What do you want to do? Why do you hit people?"

"You are disrespectful to the county lady, so I slap you in the face. You should also kneel down to express your gratitude." Mrs. Zhao was indeed an elder by Xu Zhang's side. As soon as she opened her mouth, her imposing manner frightened Li Yu Niang.

When Chen Ye heard that Su Yunling was the county lord, his already guilty expression became even more flustered.

Not to mention that he, a small editor of the sixth rank, could not afford to offend the county lord, the main reason was that the woman next to him was not one to be seen in public.

He immediately stepped forward to plead for Li Yu Niang, hoping to put the matter behind him and quickly leave this place of trouble.

But Su Yunling didn't give him a chance. She summoned Bingzhi and Xia Lu with a look.

Bingzhi flashed in and held the two of them separately. Mrs. Zhao turned her wrist and slapped Li Yu Niang in the face one after another.

In a few moments, the delicate oval face was slapped and became red and swollen.

She screamed in pain and twisted her body desperately to try to break free, but to no avail.

Chen Ye wanted to step forward to help, but he was just a scholar. He was good at writing, but in terms of fighting power, how could he be Bing Zhi's opponent?

Su Yunling slowly paid the bill amid the sounds of dozens of crisp slaps. Only when she saw blood oozing from the corner of Li Yu Niang's mouth did she stop with satisfaction.

"Wuwu..." Li Yu Niang was thrown to the ground, and an angry but muffled whimper came from her throat.

"Second Master Chen, please discipline your cousin. This slap is just a small lesson. If she speaks rudely next time, I will cut off her tongue."

Chen Ye knew that it was Li Yu Niang who spoke disrespectfully first, and he felt guilty, so he hurriedly pulled up the disheveled Li Yu Niang, pushed through the crowd of onlookers, and left in a hurry.

Su Yunling immediately gave Bingzhi a look, signaling her to follow the two secretly.

After the excitement died down, Su Yunling handed Mrs. Zhao an ingot of silver.

"Mother Zhao, your palm hurts, right? Use this ingot of silver to buy something delicious."

"It doesn't hurt, my lady. I know how to slap someone so hard that it hurts them and protects the palm of your hand at the same time."

"I heard there were no lilies of the valley. Learn something from them."

"Yes, miss." Lily of the Valley looked proud.

In the past, following a lady would get you slapped, but now following a lady means slapping others. It feels so good to hold your head high and look so majestic.

Su Yunling also felt good.

However, when I thought of Chen Ye and Li Yu Niang, my mood became unhappy again.

About half an hour later, Bingzhi came back to report that the two did not return to the Qin Mansion, but went to Yong'an Back Street, which was a little far away from the Qin Mansion. They had a small courtyard with two entrances on the side of the street.

Moreover, the two started arguing as soon as they entered the room. Li Yu Niang was very disappointed with Chen Ye's attitude of inaction, and threatened that if he didn't vent her anger, she would not give birth to a child for him.

"He really is a beautiful woman in a golden house! As expected... none of these despicable men are good." Su Yunling felt sorry for Xu Miaoyu.

Those dozens of slaps that Li Yu Niang received just now were mostly given on behalf of Xu Miao Yu.

Su Yunling suddenly remembered that Xu Miaoyu's mental state was not right when she saw her before. Did she know that the man who promised to treat her wholeheartedly already had another woman outside?

Su Yunling will know the answer soon.

At the end of the month, Duke Qin's mansion celebrated the Duke's wife's 50th birthday. Xu Miaoyu's birthday was only three days away from her mother-in-law's, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law celebrated together.

Duke Qin not only invited Su Yunling and the Xu family, but also Xiao Jichen and Xiao Nanchuan.

This is the case with most of these upper-class families, who all want to make friends with the powerful and wealthy and pursue fame and fortune through banquets.

Su Yunling was invited to the Duke Qin's Mansion, naturally for the sake of her cousin.

When her carriage stopped in front of Duke Qin's mansion, she saw Xiao Jichen and Xiao Nanchuan had already arrived. What she didn't expect was that Su Yueying was also there.

Su Yueying was talking to Xiao Jichen at this time. Xiao Jichen lowered his eyes slightly and tapped the folding fan in his hand with a smile.

It was not until he saw Su Yunling lifting the curtain that he decisively left Su Yueying behind and went over to help Linglan down from the carriage.

"Why are you so late?" Xiao Ji Chen's low voice was as gentle as ever.

"Did I disturb the prince from meeting the beauty?" Su Yunling raised his eyebrows, smiling.

Xiao Ji Chen was slightly stunned, then looked helpless. He did not rush to explain that he had other purposes in talking to Su Yueying.

Instead, he frowned slightly and said jokingly, "It was the Su family who pestered me. I thought that since they were my father-in-law and my wife's sister, it would be inconvenient to offend them in public."

Su Yunling raised her head and glared at him, "Then why don't you continue your conversation?"

Xiao Ji Chen was speechless for a moment as he looked at Su Yunling's resolute back.

"My Lord, Princess Hemin seems to be angry." Fei Peng reminded kindly.

Xiao Jichen said in a cold voice: "This prince is not blind..."

She was obviously unhappy that he was too close to Su Yueying. Naturally, he also disliked the person she hated.

He allowed Su Yueying to get close, naturally not for the sake of his so-called sister-in-law's face. Su Yueying's value in being used was not small.

Fei Peng looked at Su Yunling's leaving back and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

It’s true that ugly people often cause mischief!

When Su Yunling entered the banquet hall, she saw Su Zhaohong and Su Jingyi behind Su Yueying. It was obvious that some people had not given up yet.

She was not in the mood to care about this group of people at the moment. She looked around but didn't see Xu Miaoyu. Instead, she saw Li Yu Niang, who was slapped by her a few days ago.

Chen Ye is so brave that he even dared to openly let a mistress attend a formal banquet!

When Su Yunling looked at Li Yu Niang, Li Yu Niang also happened to see her.

When their eyes met, Li Yu Niang was stunned for just a moment, then quickly regained her composure, without even a trace of guilt on her face.

Who gave her the confidence? Did Xu Miaoyu already agree to let her enter the mansion?

Just as he was speculating, he saw the Duke's wife and Xu Miaoyu coming out from the inner hall together.

Xu Miaoyu followed her mother-in-law respectfully, always half a step behind her. When she saw Su Yunling, a smile naturally spread across her lips.

Xu Miaoyu signaled to Su Yunling with her eyes, asking her to wait a moment.

Su Yunling nodded, briefly greeted the Duke's wife, and found a seat.

As soon as she sat down, she saw Li Yu Niang quickly walk to Xu Miaoyu and intimately take the other hand of the Duke's wife.

"Godmother..." She pretended to be affectionate and put her face in the arms of the Duke's wife, and looked at Su Yunling with deliberate pride.

Su Yunling finally knew who she relied on. It turned out to be her godmother!

After being beaten last time, Li Yu Niang went back and found out Su Yunling's identity. She learned that Su Yunling would attend the banquet today, so she came.

The purpose is to avenge past shame.

She was just an ugly freak. Today, she was going to tear off the fig leaf on her face in front of all these nobles...
