Shen did not come alone. This time she brought seven or eight burly maids with her. It was obvious that she was prepared for possible violence.

"mother!"

Su Mingyue looked at Shen with grievance. The joy she had felt from beating Qingtuan and angering Ji Xue had vanished. She hadn't expected Su Jixue to hit her in public at the Su family, leaving her no shame at all.

"Mother, are you blaming Ji Xue?" Ji Xue didn't even look at Shen, but took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the dagger.

Nanny Wang glanced at Ji Xue with hatred, then knelt down in front of Shen with a pale face. "Madam, please help me. I have devoted my wholeheartedly taken care of the Second Young Miss and have never made a single mistake, yet now I am being treated like this by the Eldest Young Miss! A broken hand is a minor matter, but the Eldest Young Miss bullying her younger sister is a major offense!"

"Madam, please make the decision for the Second Young Miss!"

When Nanny Wang started to speak, the servants in the yard finally plucked up courage and started to cry out for justice when they saw their mistress coming.

"Yes, ma'am, the young lady is really going too far!"

"This is clearly our Second Young Lady's affair, but the First Young Lady took the opportunity to stir up trouble and punish us!"

"That's right. Yesterday, the Second Miss taught the people in the Eldest Miss's courtyard a lesson and suffered a loss. Now that the Eldest Miss has done this, shouldn't she also be taught a lesson?"

……

They all looked down on Ji Xue, fearing that none of them would be able to escape when the eldest lady came to settle the score.

Ji Xue, however, was concentrating on wiping the dagger and ignored him.

"Su Jixue!" Shen Shi didn't expect Ji Xue to be so indifferent at the critical moment. She couldn't help but get angry: "What else do you have to say?!"

This time, Su Jixue was obviously in the wrong, and Shen wanted to see how she could make trouble next time.

"I want to say that you all heard what I just said." Ji Xue's eyes swept coldly over the people in the courtyard one by one: "What about what I said just now?"

"Will you take the punishment yourself, or should I do it?"

The dagger rotated between Ji Xue's fingers, its sharp edge was so sharp that it made people tremble.

"And you!" Ji Xue stepped on Nanny Wang's shoulder and moved her kneeling position to face Qingtuan. She placed the dagger in her hand lightly on Nanny Wang's neck: "You should kneel facing here and beg her to see if she will forgive you."

"If you can't get Qingtuan's forgiveness, then go down and accompany her."

Ji Xue's voice was soft, but it made people shudder.

Nanny Wang trembled and was so scared that she peed her pants. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Ji Xue retracted her foot in disdain: "You are so timid."

"Su Jixue, you are a lunatic!" Su Mingyue screamed in fright. The Su Jixue in front of her looked like she was possessed by a ghost, emitting a cold and scary aura.

The tone of his voice was also particularly eerie and terrifying.

"That's why I told you not to really make me angry." Ji Xue swung the knife in her hand at Su Mingyue. She stepped back in fear, but her dress was nailed to the ground by the dagger, and she fell to the ground.

"You can't afford the consequences."

Ji Xue said this as she walked towards Su Mingyue step by step.

Su Mingyue screamed repeatedly. She was scared. She was really scared this time. Ji Xue's eyes were like those of a demon crawling out of hell, cold and creepy.

Ji Xue simply pulled out the dagger and held it in her hand again.

Shen covered her heart and said, "This is outrageous! This is outrageous! Go and call the master over and let him see what his good daughter has done!"

Seeing Ji Xue like this, Shen felt a little scared. She was even crazier than when she was in the princess's mansion.

At this moment, Nanny Wu had just invited Su Jian over. Seeing this scene, Su Jian couldn't help but fly into a rage: "Nonsense! This is simply nonsense! Su Jixue, put the knife away!"

Ji Xue slowly turned her head and saw the tall figure walking in from the gate. She smiled coldly, "Father, are you ordering me around?"

Su Jian, now the Right Prime Minister of Dongchu, was just a lowly official in the Dongchu delegation many years ago. Due to his humble status, he was pushed out by the delegation to suffer.

In the heavy snow, Su Jian was once treated as a snowman by the sons of nobles and nobles; he was also made to use fruits and vegetables on his head as a target for them to play with, and was finally scared to death.

The poor envoy who had hugged Ji Xue's calf and cried for help back then was now commanding her in a condescending manner.

Does Ji Xue deserve to be called his father?

"Jixue, don't forget your identity." Su Jian was startled by Ji Xue's gaze. Although they looked different and had different temperaments, the cold gaze at that moment made him feel like he had seen an old friend. "The future Princess Zhan must not have any scandals."

He is trying to convince people with reason.

"Will the future Princess Zhan's people be beaten to death?" Ji Xue didn't buy it. She looked at Qing Tuan, who was covered in blood, and said, "Father, I don't have such a good temper."

"What do you mean by 'your people'? Qingtuan is clearly Mingyue's second-class maid!" Shen couldn't help but get angry.

"Yes, sister, don't try to confuse right and wrong! Since when did you have to intervene when my younger sister was teaching her maid a lesson?" Su Mingyue gritted her teeth.

"Your person?" Ji Xue directly took out a piece of paper and threw it away in front of everyone: "Then why is her indenture with me?"

In Ji Xue's hand was Qingtuan's indenture contract, clearly written in black and white.

"Impossible! I clearly gave her indenture contract to..." Su Mingyue suddenly stopped talking, her heart sinking. Could it be that Su Jixue came prepared?

She glared at Qingtuan's parents and asked what was going on with this indenture contract.

"Why would the young lady have this indenture? The indenture of this dead girl is clearly left at home!" Qingtuan's mother was also a little panicked. She suddenly realized: "The house was robbed last night. Could it be the young lady..."

Before Qingtuan Niang could finish her words, Su Jian interrupted her: "How dare you! How dare you, a scoundrel, slander my daughter in my residence? Come, slap her in the face!"

Someone immediately started beating Qingtuan Niang until she was unable to speak.

"Sister, please look carefully. This is Qingtuan's indenture." Ji Xue walked up to Su Mingyue with the indenture in hand. "It was you who handed the indenture over personally, and you kept saying that you wanted to set Qingtuan free and let her follow me."

"Now, you're holding a grudge because of what happened yesterday and are deliberately seeking revenge! You were the one who had Qingtuan beaten to death, and you won't let this go!"

"I didn't! I didn't!" Su Mingyue panicked and shook her head vigorously. She had never expected Su Jixue to turn the tables and blame herself, saying, "Father, you must believe Mingyue. Mingyue didn't intend to retaliate. Qingtuan belongs to my daughter!"

"Mingyue didn't give Qingtuan's indenture to sister, Mingyue didn't!"

"It's my sister who's lying! It's Su Jixue who's lying!"

For a time, Su Jixue had shouted at the top of her lungs in the princess's mansion that she did not push Su Mingyue into the water. Qingtuan had been slandered by Su Mingyue for having an affair with someone, and had her mouth shut and unable to defend herself. Su Mingyue finally understood at this moment how she felt.

However, the person who was wronged now was Su Mingyue herself.
