Su Yunling's fair and smooth face was as delicate as a baby's, and the two twisted scars from before had long disappeared.

She has a gentle and generous oval face, with well-proportioned features and clear and soft lines.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like rippling autumn water, and her every frown and smile is a fascinating scenery.

At this moment, she is stunningly beautiful and radiant. Her face is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe it even with the most beautiful words in the world.

Su Yunling's incomparable beauty was enough to outshine any other woman present.

Even Su Yueying, who originally had a pretty appearance, was instantly eclipsed by this.

Wherever she is, just by standing there, she is bound to be the focus of all attention.

Su Yunling's enchanting smile was reflected in Xiao Jichen's gentle eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly understood what Su Yunling had meant by "arrogance". She was indeed extraordinary.

With such a beauty as her in front of Emperor Jing Zhao, it would be difficult for him to restrain his feelings.

Xiao Nanchuan came back to his senses. He rubbed his swollen eyes and looked at Su Yunling again.

Her face... is alright?

Not only has she recovered, her appearance has also undergone a drastic change. Her previously skinny and sallow face has now become as beautiful as a flawless jade, and no one can take their eyes off it.

Su Yueying's gaze as she looked at Su Yunling changed from shock to resentment, her nails almost piercing into the flesh of her palm.

Because Su Yunling's brilliance could crush her so that she had no sense of existence, she witnessed Xiao Nanchuan staring at Su Yunling with such a fixed gaze that she wished she could tear Su Yunling's face apart.

On the other side, Li Yu Niang, who had originally planned to make Su Yunling a laughing stock, was dumbfounded at this moment.

How could she have imagined that what was on Su Yunling's face was not a loin cloth, but a blackout cloth.

This backfired and helped her to stun everyone.

"This girl only exists in heaven, and it is rare to see her in the world." Some pedantic literati have begun to quote classics to praise Su Yunling's beauty.

Some warriors were more straightforward, "This Princess Hemin is so beautiful! She must be the most beautiful in Shangjing, right?"

"She is not only the most beautiful in Shangjing, but also the most beautiful in Da Yin."

"It is said that Prince Su is really lucky to be able to marry a beautiful woman. He is simply the envy of others."

"It is true that Prince Su is blessed, and it is also true that former Minister Su is ill. He abandoned his daughter who is both talented and beautiful, and kicked her out of the house. What father would do such a thing?"

"Su Zhaohong was never a good person. He stepped on the daughter of the Xu family to enter the government, and at the same time, he favored his concubine and neglected his wife. It's possible that he deliberately replaced the concubine with the Hemin County Lord."

"You are such a heartless person. Stay away from the Su family and avoid being contaminated by their bad luck..."

The Su family father and son, who were sitting in the corner, looked very unhappy as they listened to the denunciations and condemnations from the people around them.

Isn’t it said that Su Yunling is a disaster star, and as long as you stay away from her, your life will become smoother and smoother?

Why has nothing good happened to the Su family since Su Yunling left the Su Mansion? Instead, everything has gone wrong!

The banquet was still going on, and the maid who deliberately splashed the food on Su Yunling's face kowtowed immediately.

"Please spare me, my lady. I didn't mean it."

With the help of Xu Miaoyu, Su Yunling was wiping some of the sauce off her dress with a handkerchief, but it was obvious that she could no longer wear the soft silk skirt.

Xu Miaoyu wanted to take Su Yunling to her yard to change clothes, but Su Yunling did not agree immediately. Instead, she turned to look at the maid who had been kneeling in front of the wine table.

The nervousness on the maid's face was obviously fake. She seemed to have expected that Su Yunling would not argue with a servant in front of so many people.

What's more, this is a banquet for the Duke's wife. If the noise goes too far, it will definitely be a slap in the face of Duke Qin.

Therefore, most people would choose to keep quiet and gain a good reputation for being magnanimous and tolerant.

But how could Su Yunling be an ordinary person?

What she cared least about was the reputation of being neither edible nor sellable.

She looked at the maid and said coldly: "I know you didn't mean it, because you did it on purpose."

The maid was about to stand up, but when she realized what she heard, her knees sank again.

"County Lady, I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time!"

The maid fell to the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, but she was gambling in her heart. With so many dignitaries present, Su Yunling didn't dare to go too far. After all, the more prestigious a person is, the more they care about their face and reputation.

But she was wrong.

"Second sister, it's just a dress. Do you have to rely on your high position to embarrass a maid? The maid is also born by her parents. If you are so aggressive, you will only bring shame to the upper class family."

Su Yueying stood up at the right time to support the maid to show her kindness and magnanimity.

"Saint girl, you are so kindhearted, why are you attending the banquet? Have you appeased all those people who were killed by you in this plague? Why are you coming here to show mercy? In a few days, are you going to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to step down from the lotus platform, and you will sit on it and call yourself the White Lotus Saint?"

Su Yunling spoke directly from the heart without showing any mercy.

Su Yueying was stunned by the yelling, and her aggrieved and stubborn expression was about to break at any moment.

Xiao Nanchuan couldn't stand Su Yunling's domineering attitude, and was about to stand up to protect her, but was stopped by Xiao Jichen with his arm raised.

"You're willing to get involved when women quarrel, argue, and pull hair?"

"You..." Xiao Nanchuan was furious, but still endured it.

It is indeed shameful to get involved in the affairs of two women.

After Su Yunling yelled at Su Yueying to silence her, he once again directed his attack at the maid.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator. Tell me who's behind you and I'll forgive you. Otherwise, a little maid like you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Su Yunling's eyes were filled with a coldness that brooked no room for argument. The maid was frightened at the sight of him and glanced guiltily at Li Yu Niang who was standing behind the Duke's wife.

Some ladies who were originally prepared to persuade Su Yunling not to bother with a servant, shut up and waited to watch the show when they heard that there seemed to be some hidden story behind the matter.

Although the Duke's wife looked unhappy, her words were full of apology:

"County Lady Hemin, we failed to entertain the guests at the banquet. This ignorant maid offended our distinguished guests. Send someone to drag her away and give her a beating. Please don't be angry."

Of course, she had to give face to the wife of the Duke. Su Yunling smiled, with a touching curve at the corner of her lips.

"Then let's listen to the Duke's wife! Fifty strokes of the cane will be the same number as the Duke's wife's birthday. One stroke for each year is auspicious."

The Duke's wife's expression froze. She just wanted to give Su Yunling a few symbolic hits to save her face. After all, it was her birthday and she didn't want to see blood.

But it was obvious that Su Yunling was determined to disrupt her birthday party, and she couldn't help but get annoyed.

When the others heard Su Yunling's words, they all looked at each other, and the maid's face turned pale.

If she were to be beaten with fifty sticks, she would lose half her life if she didn't die.

It's just for five taels of silver. How can it be worth losing half your life?

Thinking of this, she confessed on the spot, "Old Madam, spare me, County Lady, spare me, I confess everything. It was... Miss Li Yu Niang who gave me five taels of silver and asked me to deliberately pour the food on the County Lady's face. She wanted to embarrass the County Lady."

Li Yu Niang's face turned pale. She looked at the maid's directing gazes and her whole body became stiff, not knowing what to do.

The Duke's wife and Chen Ye at the men's table both looked nervous.

"Who is this? Whose family is this lady from? Why does she look unfamiliar?"

There was a curious chatter among the guests.

The Duke's wife was about to explain when Su Yunling interrupted her: "Isn't this the cousin who visited Linlang Pavilion with Mr. Chen Er? Just because Mr. Chen Er didn't buy you that expensive headdress, you hold a grudge against me? What's the reason?"

Is there anyone here who is not a smart person?

Su Yunling seemed to have said nothing, yet seemed to have said everything.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Chen Ye and Li Yu Niang with something strange in their eyes.

"Lingling, who do you say she is?" Xu Miaoyu looked at Li Yu Niang steadily, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

She looked at Chen Ye, but at this moment Chen Ye was too guilty to look into Xu Miaoyu's eyes.

Xu Miaoyu looked at the man and wondered what he was thinking.

Su Yunling grabbed Xu Miaoyu's shaking hand, her eyes firm and apologetic, "I'm sorry, cousin, I can't let you be deceived by false happiness..."
