The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

Qin Yuyan immediately defended herself, "Your Highness, it has nothing to do with me. It was Su Yuejian who did it. She stabbed me with something and let the whip hit Princess Roujia!"

"Shut up!" Xiao Ningyao shouted

Looking at Princess Yongqing's gloomy face, Qin Yuyan raised a smug smile at the corner of her lips.

Princess Yongqing glanced at Su Yuejian and said in a deep voice, "Madame Li, slap her face!"

An elderly green-robed nanny beside him stepped forward and said, "Yes."

Nanny Li walked up to Su Yuejian, and Qin Yuyan looked like she was waiting for a good show.

But Nanny Li walked around Su Yuejian and went straight to her, pinched her chin and forced her to raise her face.

“Snap!——” “Snap!——” “Snap!——” “Snap!——”

Another round of crisp and loud slaps.

Qin Yuyan's already swollen cheeks were completely numbed by the slap, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She could only beg for mercy.

Xiao Rong cried, "Your Highness, this really has nothing to do with my young lady. It was Miss Su who schemed to injure Princess Roujia! Please understand!"

Xiao Ningyao sneered, "Yaocai!"

Yao Cai understood the order, walked up to her and slapped her twice without saying a word.

"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!—"

The sound of slapping one after another was particularly clear and loud in the silent shop.

Liang Xinrou wanted to say something to plead, but seeing Princess Yongqing's cold and angry expression, she pretended to be reluctant and lowered her head.

Xiao Ningyao said sternly,

"The master has no manners, and the servants have no rules either! Yue'er is now the Princess Minghua, personally appointed by my father. She is the daughter of the Grand Marshal, yet she has no respect for others!"

Princess Yongqing said softly to Su Yuejian, "Princess Minghua, please get up."

Su Yuejian nodded, "Yes."

Princess Yongqing shouted coldly at Qin Yuyan,

"General Lu is a meritorious official of Tianjin. You come from a family of military commanders, yet you not only lack the slightest respect for the deceased, but you even dare to insult the deceased and blaspheme the souls of the heroes. This is truly shameful!"

"You stirred up trouble for no reason, disrespected Princess Minghua, whipped someone, and harmed Princess Roujia. You did all sorts of awful things. You're a lady from a noble family, yet you're so arrogant and domineering!"

"Princess, I was wrong. I will never again."

Qin Yuyan was beaten so hard that she couldn't stop crying, and her words of begging for mercy and admitting her mistakes could be heard intermittently.

After a while, Princess Yongqing raised her hand to ask someone to stop slapping.

Qin Yuyan's face was swollen beyond recognition, with several layers of bright red slap marks on it. She was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face. Shame and resentment were spreading in her heart. She knelt on the ground, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands.

Princess Yongqing said coldly, "Today's slaps are just a small punishment. If it happens again, it won't be so simple! Remember this!"

Qin Yuyan buried her head, her eyes red and tears falling, and she replied unwillingly, "Yes, I will remember this."

Xiao Ningyao frowned unhappily, "Why don't you leave!"

"Yes." The maid Xiaorong quickly helped Qin Yuyan, who was covering her face, up and quickly left Jinxiufang.

Princess Yongqing looked at the pale Liang Xinrou and said,

"Madame Li, send Princess Roujia back to the palace and have the imperial physician examine and care for her."

"Yes."

"Rou'er thanks Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Liang Xinrou bowed and followed Nanny Li out and into the carriage.

Xiao Ningyao looked at Su Yuejian's red palms and warned, "Yue'er, in the future, you don't have to do things like hitting people yourself. Look, your hands are all red. Does it hurt?"

Su Yuejian shook her head.

But Yuzhu behind her secretly took note of these words.

Su Yuejian poked Xiao Ningyao who was blowing her hands, and looked at Princess Yongqing beside her with some embarrassment.

Xiao Ningyao asked, "Auntie, how come you have time to come and visit the shop today?"

Princess Yongqing said, "Zhi'er wanted to eat some cakes from Babaozhai, and I just happened to remember that I ordered a few gauze clothes for him a few days ago, so I came here on the way."

After the maid took the clothes, Princess Yongqing turned and left.

Before leaving, he looked at Su Yuejian deeply.

After the eldest princess left, the onlookers also dispersed.

Wang Qingyi pulled Gu Xiyue over and saluted.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and to Princess Minghua."

Xiao Ningyao nodded slightly, "Get up."

Su Yuejian chuckled and nodded, “Miss Wang is polite, Miss Gu is polite.”

Wang Qingyi was a warm and friendly person. She looked at Su Yuejian with sparkling eyes and said excitedly,

"Oh, why are you calling the princess Miss Wang? That's so formal! Madam Su is my father's aunt, my great aunt. We just moved to Kyoto because my brother was recently promoted and transferred to Beijing. My father even said today that he wanted to find time to visit Madam Su!"

Su Yuejian smiled when she heard this, "So it's Sister Wang. I heard from my grandmother that you were coming to Beijing. I didn't expect to meet you here by chance."

"Yeah!" Wang Qingyi smiled brightly and nodded.

The owner of Jinxiufang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Princess Yongqing and Princess Jing'an did not blame their store.

He only thought that the woman wearing the gauze hat had a noble temperament, but he never thought that she was Princess Minghua.

Now looking at Princess Jing'an and Princess Minghua, he immediately stepped forward respectfully and said,

"Princess, I'll have this lotus-rose and phoenix-tail dress packed for you right away. I apologize for our poor hospitality today and will slash the price by half."

Xiao Ningyao looked at the gorgeous dresses on the hanger and nodded, thinking they were indeed nice.

Su Yuejian shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, boss. However, I don't usually need such gorgeous clothes. It's better to leave them to someone who truly loves them."

After hearing what Su Yuejian said, the shopkeeper didn't know what to say.

Wang Qingyi's eyebrows curved, "Then this dress belongs to Sister Xiyue!"

Gu Xiyue nodded slightly and forced a smile on her face.

After being disturbed by Qin Yuyan's behavior, Xiao Ningyao felt unlucky. She only accepted the few clothes she had just tried on and left with Su Yuejian.

Gu Xiyue's emotions were in turmoil. She twisted the handkerchief tightly in her hands and stared at Su Yuejian's receding figure with jealousy in her eyes.

She is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, renowned as a talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River, and the dream girl of many talented men and writers.

But one day, I suddenly heard that there was a girl named Su Yuejian in Kyoto, who was said to be the granddaughter of Gu Congyu. She broke the eternal record and was proficient in poetry.

From then on, when people mentioned the Gu family, they all talked about this talented woman from Tianjin. Who still remembered the girls from the Gu family?

Now that she has come to Kyoto, even the daughter of a general can surpass her.

All of them, daughters of prominent families, were members of the royal family and nobles. They were so proud and arrogant that they had never suffered such injustice.

Now, even a piece of clothing would only fall into her hands after others repeatedly offered it to her.

After the shopkeeper saw Xiao Ningyao and Su Yuejian leave, he immediately looked at Gu Xiyue.

Just now he heard about Gu Xiyue's identity and knew that she was here to form an alliance with the head of the Xie family, and that she would be the future mistress of their Xie family.

With a smile on his face, he said respectfully, "Miss Gu, you are a distinguished guest of the Xie family. Our shop will not charge you for this dress today."

After hearing the shopkeeper's flattering words, Gu Xiyue's expression eased a little, and a soft smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

That’s right, she will soon be the mistress of the Xie family.

Her father told her that this marriage was arranged by Old Master Xie, and Xie Jiusi would come to propose soon.

With the Xie family, everything is different.

One day, she will trample them all under her feet!
