The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

"It's Miss Shen. Sorry, this bracelet is mine." Su Jingning took out a few silver bills from his arms and stuffed them into the maid next to him.

"I think Miss Shen is very well-educated and would never do anything to take away someone else's favor, right?" Su Jingning smiled slightly and spoke softly to Shen Zhiyi, whose face was flushed with anger.

Then he turned around and ignored her, continuing to point at several sets of headwear that were finely crafted, elegant and luxurious.

"This, that, and this, and that one over there, pack them all for me." He instructed the maid beside him.

Shen Zhiyi looked at Su Jingning, who was calm and composed, and became furious. She was determined not to fulfill Su Jingning's wish.

"Pack up all the things she mentioned and send them to the Duke of Qing's Mansion! Lai Fu, pay!"

After saying this, he ordered the butler beside him to pay, so that Su Jingning would not get there first.

The butler obeyed the order and immediately pushed Su Jingning aside to prepare to pay.

"Miss Shen, these are the four new limited edition Lanzhuting Feng headpieces from the pavilion. They are unique in the entire Imperial Capital. Are you sure you want them all?" The maid was excited. This was a huge order. Each set of these limited edition headpieces cost five hundred taels of silver. There were four sets in total, so that was two thousand taels of silver!

"Nonsense, pack it up for me." Shen Zhiyi's heart was bleeding. She had spent half of her small treasury's money. She would definitely be scolded to death by her father when she returned.

A smile flashed in Su Jingning's eyes, and he spoke to Shen Zhiyi in a gentle voice.

"Ms. Shen is indeed the daughter of the Duke of Qing's Mansion. She is really wealthy and powerful."

"Hmph, how can I compare to a small family like you!" Shen Zhiyi was so proud that his eyes were about to look up to the sky.

"Yier, don't be rude!"

Prince Mu Heng, who had been watching the show behind her, finally spoke up. He waved the folding fan in his hand and gently reprimanded.

He walked towards Su Jingning slowly, with a gentle expression and behaved very generously.

"Young lady, it was Yi'er who was rude. You can pick whatever you like. Just consider it as an apology for Yi'er."

This girl is quite interesting. With just a few words, she persuaded Yier to spend two thousand taels of silver to buy a headdress. This girl foolishly thought she had won the fight.

"Cousin!? How can you help her!" Shen Zhiyi probably didn't expect Mu Heng to favor Su Jingning, and said in disbelief.

"Yier, you are the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. You should be well-educated and not willful. You were indeed rude just now." Mu Heng criticized with a frown.

Su Jingning looked at the two siblings coldly.

"It turns out to be His Royal Highness Prince Chen. My humble daughter greets His Royal Highness Prince Chen." Su Jingning bowed to Prince Chen, neither humble nor arrogant.

"You're welcome, young lady." Mu Heng said with a smile. He waved his fan and asked Su Jingning to stand up.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Chen. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Su Jingning thanked him in a low voice and turned to leave.

"The girl is really smart! With just a few words, she can get Yunmiao Pavilion such a big order." Mu Heng looked at Su Jingning and said with a deep smile as he didn't want to pay attention to them and turned around to leave.

Shen Zhiyi frowned when she heard this, and immediately felt something was wrong. She was being fooled! Damn it!

"You fool me!"

"Miss Shen, what do you mean? It was Miss Shen who snatched the headdress from me, and now it's my fault." Su Jingning frowned slightly with an innocent look.

"You! Come here, get her out of Yunmiao Pavilion! How dare she plot against me!" Shen Zhi was furious and wanted to kick Su Jingning out.

The maids from Yunmiao Pavilion who were around were all hesitant. Although Miss Shen was a frequent visitor to Yunmiao Pavilion, this girl looked noble and elegant, and they didn't want to offend her.

Looking at Su Jingning who was looking at him with a calm expression and cold eyes.

"Okay, since you don't come, I will do it myself!" Shen Zhiyi's face looked ugly. She took out a thin silver whip from her waist with her little hand and lashed it towards Su Jingning fiercely.

Mu Heng on the side watched with a smile but did not stop it.

"Snapped--"

A red bone whip split the whip that was heading straight towards Su Jingning.

"Who!" Shen Zhiyi's hand holding the whip was numbed by the shock, and he looked at the person who came angrily.

She was a cute little girl with lively features, wearing a ruby-red coat and skirt. She looked proud and cute, standing beside Su Jingning and looking at him nervously.

Su Jingning smiled and shook his head at her, and she felt relieved.

"Who is Miss Shen going to throw out of Yunmiao Pavilion?"

Su Luoshu was dressed in a light purple dress, with a calm temperament and beautiful appearance. Behind her followed the manager of Yunmiao Pavilion and several maids.

Su Luoting walked to Su Jingning and checked him up and down. Su Jingning smiled at her comfortingly, and then she looked at Shen Zhiyi with a cold face.

They had just been trying on clothes downstairs when someone came to report that someone had a conflict with the second sister.

I didn't expect it to be Shen Zhiyi! And Prince Chen!

"Su Luoting! Su Luoshu!" Shen Zhiyi recognized them. Although the young ladies of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion rarely attended banquets, they were very famous in the imperial capital.

As everyone knows, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is full of talented generals, and even the girls are well-versed in both civil and military affairs and have extraordinary knowledge since childhood.

Su Luoting is a famous talented woman in the Imperial Capital. She always wins first prize in the annual Imperial Capital Poetry Competition.

This Yunmiao Pavilion was the dowry property of the third wife of the Su family, and Su Luoshu often managed it for her mother.

Shen Zhiyi was not very familiar with them, but he had a good relationship with the adopted daughter who was expelled from the Su family.

The other sisters seemed to have little contact with outsiders.

"Su Luoshu! Do you really dare to let in any Tom, Dick or Harry into your Yunmiao Pavilion?" Shen Zhiyi glanced at Su Jingning with disdain and said to Su Luoshu.

Su Luoshu ignored her and just told the shopkeeper beside her to go and make the hair bun she bought for Shen Zhiyi.

"Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Chen." Su Luoshu slowly bowed to Mu Heng behind Shen Zhiyi, then smiled at Shen Zhiyi.

"This is Miss Shen's headgear. Please keep it."

Then he took a step back, looked at Shen Zhiyi coldly, and said to the manager of Yunmiao Pavilion behind him.

"Aunt Qing, from today onwards, Yunmiao Pavilion will not allow anyone who causes trouble to enter."

Shen Zhiyi thought she was talking about Su Jingning, and was looking at Su Jingning smugly.

"I'm talking to you, why don't you leave now!" He looked at Su Jingning with his chin raised.

Mu Heng behind her frowned. Shen Zhiyi didn't understand. He saw clearly that they were protecting this girl. Could she be from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?

"Someone, please ask Miss Shen to leave Yunmiao Pavilion." Su Luoshu ordered the maids beside him.

"Su Luoshu! What do you mean? Why should you let me go?" Shen Zhiyi only then realized that she was talking about herself.

"You! You are in the same group! Cousin, they teamed up to bully me!" Shen Zhi finally understood and turned around to complain to King Chen.

"It was you who wanted to whip my second sister, but now it's us who are bullying you!" Su Luowan was infuriated by Shen Zhi's arrogance.

"So you are Su Jingning!"

Shen Zhiyi frowned. It turned out that she was the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion who had been weak since childhood and was pampered by the mansion and rarely went out!

She looked at the woman in a smoky blue Begonia cloud gauze dress, with an elegant and noble temperament and a stunning appearance.

She felt disgusted. Recently, the whole capital was full of scandals about her. Shen Zhiyi's eyes turned and he looked at Su Jingning with even more disgust.

"They say the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo is aloof and arrogant. Humph! I think she is just a master at stealing people's love. She even doesn't let go of the man my sister likes! You deserve it that Ruofu wants to harm you!"

"You guys in the Zhenguo Mansion are really a bunch of crude military commanders who only know how to kill people. Your good upbringing is an eye-opener for everyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, discussions broke out all around, and people pointed fingers at Su Jingning.

"Yier, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Heng scolded. Her cousin was really spoiled and didn't think before she spoke.

Su Jingning's face darkened. Su Luoting and the others beside him also looked unhappy.

"Shen Zhiyi, keep your mouth shut!" Su Luoting's face darkened when he heard her say this about the Su family and her second sister.

"Miss Shen, be careful of your words. My Zhenguo Mansion is full of loyal and brave people who protect the country and the people. They have been unable to return home for several years to protect the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and have fought bloody battles on the battlefield. I didn't expect that you would call them a group of crude and vulgar generals who only know how to kill." Su Jingning's voice was cold and calm. He raised his eyes and glanced at the King of Chen behind her.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Chen feels the same way?"

"Miss Su Er misunderstood. It was this cousin of mine who was reckless and said the wrong thing. Yi'er, quickly apologize to Miss Su Er!" Mu Heng said to Su Jingning with a gentle smile, then turned around and rebuked Shen Zhiyi.

The Duke of Zhenguo was a high-ranking general of the Zhou Dynasty, commanding a large number of troops and enjoying great prestige in the army. He was also very loyal and upright. If he knew this, he would have no hope of winning over the powerful Duke of Zhenguo.
