Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves
Chapter 138: Grudges from the Past Life
There was a lot of noise all around, but Su Manman said nothing, just watching the pink-dressed girl in front of her making trouble.
She recognized her.
Xueying, Bai Huanyi's personal maid.
I still remember the first year after I married into Prince Jin's Mansion. It was snowing heavily near the end of the year. Bai Huanyi found an excuse and punished her to kneel in the snow for four hours.
Xueying was in charge of supervision. Every hour, she would pour water on where she was kneeling.
She will never forget the bone-chilling cold that seeped into her skin little by little, chilling her to the bone marrow, so cold that her brain went blank, her whole body went numb, and even the breath she exhaled seemed to contain ice chips.
She did not faint that night.
It wasn't that she wouldn't faint, but because her legs were frozen to the ground, she was frozen and turned into a snowman.
They all looked at her, pointing and laughing, mocking her: "What a beautiful snowman! Look, her lips are so white, just like a dead person."
They wanted her dead.
But she was lucky and survived.
After escaping death, her legs were attacked by the cold. In the days that followed, whenever she caught a cold, it felt like being eaten by ants, and she could not rest day or night.
Because she caught a cold, the imperial physician declared that she would no longer be able to bear children.
After that night, she never saw Xueying again.
It was said that she was punished by Prince Jin to kneel in the snow at night. The next day, she turned into a real snowman and was admired by all the servants in the mansion one by one.
The corners of his lips curled up in a sneer.
It's just someone else's knife.
Su Manman's eyes passed through the crowd and fell on the carriage outside the door.
The curtain of the luxurious carriage was lifted, revealing a chiffon sleeve with a bright red peony embroidered on the edge.
It’s Bai Huanyi.
Everyone says that Bai Huanyi, the daughter of the Prime Minister, is a beautiful girl.
He has a good appearance, a good temper, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In the entire capital, he is the most outstanding person in terms of talent and fame.
She used to naively believe that she was beautiful and kind, until she met her in Prince Jin's Mansion...
Su Manman withdrew her gaze and clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves.
She walked slightly and came to Xiao Tang. "If you damage something, you have to pay the price. It's a matter of course, and we won't shirk it."
Her sudden change of attitude puzzled Xiao Tang.
He stared at Su Manman warily, "Since Miss said so, then compensate us for our losses according to the price."
“Why should we pay?”
Su Manman stared at him with a half-smile, "Whoever damaged the things should pay for it..."
"That thing is not Madam..." Xiao Tang wanted to emphasize, but Su Manman ignored him and gave Qingluan a sidelong glance, "Capture him."
"Yes!"
Qingluan was agile and grabbed Xueying by the back of her neck with one hand and pulled her arm with the other.
"What are you doing?"
Xueying was horrified. She tried to struggle, but unfortunately her small arms and legs were no match for Qingluan.
In frustration, she looked up, her eyes wide open: "Miss, although I am a servant, I am a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will not tolerate your bullying like this."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall fell silent. Lin quietly grabbed Su Manman's hand, looking embarrassed.
Prime Minister Bai holds a high position of power, and the Emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Bai, is the Prime Minister's younger sister.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin, the most favored prince among the current emperor, is the son of Concubine Bai.
The Prime Minister's Mansion alone is enough to make people fearful, not to mention that behind the Prime Minister's Mansion is Concubine Bai. Your Highness Prince Jin, who dares to cause trouble for the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Is this wild girl from the country crazy?
Everyone turned their eyes to the girl in front of them.
She smiled lightly, her eyes gentle. When she spoke, her voice was resounding, "People from the Su Mansion need to compensate for the damage, but people from Prime Minister Bai's Mansion don't have to compensate for the damage?"
"Miss Su, please don't try to pick on others without permission." Xueying glared at her with a firm tone.
The ladies and girls who were watching were all from powerful families in the capital. They had no way to curry favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion on weekdays, so naturally they would favor the maid in front of them.
"Miss Su, it's not shameful to damage something and not pay for it, but to blame others like this is a sign of moral deficiencies."
"Yes, they arrested someone randomly and fabricated a story that she had damaged something. Do they think we are blind?"
Someone scoffed, "Luckily we were watching the fun and stayed away. Otherwise, who knows who would be so unlucky as to be bitten by her? It's really bad luck."
Seeing this, Xiao Tang slammed the brocade box in his hand onto the table and said in a stiff tone, "Miss Su, the capital is a place where reason prevails. If you are like this, we can only report it to the authorities and ask them to give us an explanation."
When she heard that she had to report to the police, Lin's hands trembled and her face turned pale.
The scene when the government raided the Lin residence and took her parents and brothers away was still a nightmare to her.
She held Su Manman's hand, tears welling in her eyes, "Man'er, we have no evidence. If they really report it to the police, we have no chance of winning."
Sometimes, if a problem can be solved with money, then don't get involved with the government.
She knew her daughter was speaking up for her, but she didn't want things to get worse.
After hesitating for a moment, she said with difficulty: "Let's take a step back and pay the money."
Mom has compromised.
"Girl!" Taohong was unwilling.
"Girl!" Qingluan pressed Xueying's hand even harder.
Seeing Lin surrender, Xueying raised her eyebrows with pride and her eyes were full of provocation. "Xiao Tang, hurry up, what are you standing there for? Let the guys capture them all."
"The man ran away. Will you compensate me for the money?"
When Xiao Tang heard this, he waved his hand towards the outside, and several tall and strong guys gathered around and surrounded Su Manman and the others.
"Man'er..." Lin was so scared that she almost cried.
"Are you sure you want to touch us?"
Su Manman and Tao Hong surrounded Lin and held her back. She looked at the strong men with sharp eyes, her expression calm and her tone cold, "Call your shopkeeper out."
"You damaged our things and you still want to call us the boss?" Xiao Tang said with disdain, signaling others to take action with his eyes.
"Qingluan..." Su Manman called out, "The sword has no shadow, whoever comes forward will be chopped down."
"Yes!" Qingluan's sword blade landed steadily on Xueying's neck. A little inward, blood oozed out and flowed down her neck.
"You crazy person!"
Xueying was in so much pain that she was too frightened to move. She shouted, "You hurt me, and you won't live either."
"You fell on my blade, you deserved to die."
"Ahhhh..." The hall was suddenly in chaos.
Some ladies stepped back in fear, some girls screamed in fear, and some people fainted when they saw the blood on Xueying's neck.
"Who is making such a commotion?"
A shout came from the door, and Song Shuang, dressed in tight clothes, stepped in, followed closely by His Royal Highness Prince Jin, dressed in gorgeous clothes.
He was tall and strong, wearing a snow-white straight-collared robe with a beautiful drape. His waist was tied with a wide belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern, and a piece of fine black jade was hung on it.
Her black hair was casually tied with a silver ribbon, without a crown or a hairpin. A few strands of hair in front of her forehead were blown away by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, looking quite light.
The young man is handsome and elegant, exuding the cool aura of a banished immortal.
Just standing there casually, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Why are you here?" As soon as he entered the door, he saw her in the center of the crowd and blurted out.
