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

She could hear clearly what the people were saying next door, including the slander against Su Yuejian just now.

In the inner room, he was already furious.

Shang Huilian was shocked. She didn't expect the eldest princess to appear here!

Su Xuewei's expression also changed slightly.

When did this bitch Su Yuejian hook up with the eldest princess!

Su Xiaoshi and Su Caner did not recognize the woman in gorgeous clothes in front of them, but seeing the reactions of Su Xuewei and the others, they understood that this woman had an extraordinary identity.

Xiao Ningyao walked to Su Yuejian and patted her shoulder to reassure her.

Then he gave Shang Huilian a cold look.

She was so frightened that her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground. "Your humble servant pays respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess. I didn't know Her Royal Highness was here. I apologize for any offense you may have caused me. Please forgive me."

Su Xuewei also saluted.

Su Xiaoshi and Su Caner behind them were even more shocked. They never expected that the person standing in front of them was actually the eldest princess!

He stood there in a daze for a moment, and only came to his senses after being reminded by the maid beside him and knelt down.

Xiao Ningyao slowly sat down beside Su Yuejian, her eyes as cold as ice, and asked angrily,

"Your last name is Shang? Which minister's mansion are you from?"

Shang Huilian hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

Yao Cai, who was beside Xiao Ningyao, replied, "Princess, there is only one minister in the court with the surname Shang, Shang Bo'an, the Minister of Rites."

She sneered, "The Minister of Rites? He's considered a clean official, yet he teaches such corrupt and vicious children!"

Shang Huilian's body trembled as she said tremblingly, "Your servant... Your servant was careless in the moment. It was truly an unintentional mistake. Please... Please forgive me, Princess."

Xiao Ningyao seemed to have heard something funny and chuckled, but that beautiful smile only made people feel cold.

"When you insulted Yue'er just now, you were so confident, saying it was an unintentional mistake!"

Then he said coldly,

"Forgive? Whether or not to forgive you is the Shangshu's business. Come, send her back to the Shangshu Mansion and tell the Shangshu everything Miss Shang said and did here today. Remember, don't miss a single word."

Shang Huilian burst into tears and shook her head desperately to resist.

She and her aunt were not valued in the first place, and if she told her father, she would definitely be beaten to death.

Xiao Ningyao took a sip of tea carefully and said slowly, "Tell the Minister that if he fails to discipline his children, I don't mind doing it myself next time."

The servant took the order and ignored her shouting. He stuffed her mouth and dragged her away.

Su Xuewei knelt on the ground with her head down, her hands tightly clenched around the handkerchief, her palms covered in cold sweat.

Fortunately, she didn't join them in making sarcastic remarks.

Su Caner had never seen such a scene before and was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.

Su Xiaoshi felt unwilling to see Su Yuejian still sitting there with a calm look on her face.

She whispered, "Your Highness, the Princess is very perceptive. This Flowing Light Brocade is very expensive. How could Sister Yue afford it? Miss Shang's suspicion is not unreasonable."

Xiao Ningyao glanced at him and ignored him.

The maid next to her immediately understood what was happening when she saw Xiao Ningyao's look. She walked up to Su Xiaoshi and slapped her twice without saying a word.

"Who are you? How can you speak in front of the princess?"

Su Xiaoshi felt a burning pain on her face and knelt on the ground crying softly.

"This flowing brocade is my gift to Yue'er. You're still young, but you've already learned the tricks of those gossipy women. How wonderful!"

The maid Yaocai obeyed the order and continued to raise her hand to slap her hard.

Su Xuewei and Su Caner knelt aside with their heads bowed deeply, not daring to make a sound for fear of implicating themselves.

Su Xiaoshi's cheeks were swollen from being beaten, and she cried out in pain.

Xiao Ningyao waved her hand, Yao Cai stopped and returned to her side.

She spoke calmly,

"Today is just a warning. If I find out next time that you are making groundless accusations and slandering Yue'er, it won't be so simple anymore."

The three nodded in succession.

Yao Cai shouted angrily, "Why don't you retreat!"

The three of them quickly stood up, and two of them helped Su Xiaoshi leave the private room in shame.

After the few people left, the onlookers also dispersed, but what happened today quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

Although Su Xuewei did not say it openly, she and Shang Huilian had always been on good terms, and all the noble ladies in Kyoto knew about it. Once this incident came out, her reputation plummeted.

After the few people left, Xiao Ningyao was still angry in the private room, and saw that Su Yuejian was still able to drink tea peacefully.

She said angrily, "You can still drink it, these people are bullying you."

Su Yuejian chuckled and said softly, "With the eldest princess here, how could I be bullied?"

Xiao Ningyao tapped her forehead lightly, "You, luckily I'm here today. You can't be so soft-tempered."

Su Yuejian nodded.

Seeing her gentle and kind appearance, Xiao Ning couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Su Yuejian noticed the loving look in her eyes as she looked at him, and felt helpless.

The eldest princess seems to have some misunderstandings about herself?

She had no intention of letting Shang Huilian go.

In the evening, the Minister of Rites returned home. The eldest princess's attendant was still waiting at the house. He told him everything that had happened that day and relayed the eldest princess's original words to him.

He was furious after hearing this. He didn't expect Shang Huilian to behave so badly and ruin his reputation. He immediately beat her with thirty boards according to the family rules.

Just after the beating, he received another letter from the Taifu Mansion. The letter stated that Su Yuejian was the young lady of their Taifu Mansion. What happened today was not only an insult to Su Yuejian, but also an insult to the Taifu Mansion. Lord Shang was asked to give an explanation.

The Su family has produced two imperial tutors. Taifu Su is the leader of the literati in Tianjin, and Su Yanzhou is now highly valued and has unlimited prospects. He cannot afford to offend the Taifu Mansion. He has worked hard to get to his current position, and he cannot let it be ruined by a concubine's daughter.

He immediately sent orders to his servants to send Shang Huilian to a farm in the countryside to recuperate.

In name, it was for recuperation, but in reality, she was sent to fend for herself. She had just been beaten and there was no one to take care of her in the countryside. I was afraid she would not survive.

Inside the Su Mansion

When Mrs. Wu came back today, she saw Su Xiaoshi with a black eye and swollen face from being beaten, and she felt extremely distressed.

But that was the eldest princess, how could she dare to say anything against her?

When the old lady heard about what happened today, she became even more furious.

A message was sent saying that the two sisters should go and apologize to Su Yuejian in person tomorrow, otherwise they would move out immediately.

Mrs. Wu was already anxious and annoyed, and with Su Xuewei fanning the flames, she put all her resentment on Su Yuejian.
