Su Qingwen curled her lips coldly. Looking at the woman in front of her, she sneered and said, "It does seem so. Li Ruhua, why did you suddenly break into someone else's room? Could it be that you're in love with His Highness the Prince of Rui and came here to offer yourself?"
Any normal person would be offended by such words, let alone Li Ruhua, who was so self - important. She lowered her head in despair, her body trembling constantly, with a look of great pain on her face.
"In that case, there's no need to say more. Li Ruhua, put on your clothes first, then come out. Let's discuss your marriage with the Prince of Rui." Hua Yueye stared at Li Ruhua coldly and said resolutely.
At that moment, Li Ruhua felt dizzy. Her ears seemed to go deaf. She curled up slightly in pain, her face as pale as paper.
"Your Majesty, Li Ruhua is still young and may not be ready to be a wife. It's better for her to be a concubine," said the Prince of Rui unexpectedly. He was really good at adding insult to injury, delivering a fatal blow to Li Ruhua at this critical moment.
Sure enough, Li Ruhua quickly lowered her head, and tears streamed down from her eyes. She was filled with hatred! Why did God treat her like this?
"You're right. Put on your clothes first. We need to discuss this matter further." Hua Yueye sneered and left with Su Qingwen.
Finally, this farce came to an end. Su Qingwen curled her lips into a smile, looked back at Hua Yueye, and gave him a thumbs - up. She couldn't help but say, "Your performance just now was so domineering. I can't help but give you a thumbs - up."
"Of course. It won't be long before you see Li Ruhua marry the Prince of Rui. That scene should be quite laughable," Hua Yueye said. The two of them were both scheming. If they got together, they might be a match.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Ruhua dragged her tired body out. Seeing Hua Yueye, she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have no other requests. I just hope you'll show mercy and don't treat me like this. I don't want to marry the Prince of Rui."
"The deed is done. What else do you want?" Su Qingwen covered her nose and said with disgust, "Shouldn't a woman value her reputation? Li Ruhua, if this gets out, what will you be? Have you never thought about it?"
"Even so, I will never marry the Prince of Rui! He's just a useless man!" Li Ruhua was really pushed to the limit and said such outrageous things.
Just then, the Prince of Rui passed by. After hearing her words, his face turned livid with anger. He snorted and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you. Li Ruhua, from now on, we'll go our separate ways. Let's just pretend that what happened last night never existed!"
After saying this, the Prince of Rui didn't even want to look at Li Ruhua and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Su Qingwen and the others had wanted to see Li Ruhua's embarrassed look, but now it seemed that their plan had failed.
Ye Jing shook her head helplessly and spread her hands, saying, "It seems we'll be disappointed this time."
[System: Honey, it's not over yet. You can use the same tricks Gao Quan used on you against Li Ruhua. They used rumors to attack you. You can return the favor a hundredfold.]
"Right!" Su Qingwen was reminded and nodded quickly as if suddenly enlightened. Then she clapped her hands and said, "I know what to do."
"What do you know?" Hua Yueye raised his eyebrows and looked at her curiously.
"I know how to deal with that woman Li Ruhua." Su Qingwen curled her lips into a mocking smile. She quickly ran into her room and found several middle - aged women, the kind who were good at spreading rumors. She told them all about Li Ruhua's affair and signaled them to spread it quickly.
"Don't worry, Concubine Xian. We will surely live up to your expectations," the women glanced at each other and chuckled.
"Good. I trust you very much. Don't let me down," Su Qingwen said with a satisfied smile and waved her hand, signaling them to leave.
Time passed quietly. Rumors spread like the wind to every corner. In just a few days, many people knew about Li Ruhua's affair with the Prince of Rui.
One day, when Li Ruhua went out, some people pointed at her.
"Look, that's the shameless woman. She even seduced a disabled man. Is she really that desperate?"
"Yeah, it's her. She doesn't look like a slut. Why is she so disgraceful?"
Hearing their remarks, Li Ruhua's face froze. She stood there awkwardly and couldn't move a step.
"Li Ruhua, we're going back to the palace tomorrow. I heard that many people in the capital already know about this. You'd better be careful," Su Qingwen walked behind her quietly and said.
"Did you do this behind my back?" Li Ruhua suddenly turned around like a woman driven mad. She stared at Su Qingwen, wishing she could kill her right now.
"Are you afraid of people knowing what you've done?" Su Qingwen sneered and stared at her sharply. "Didn't you try to plot against me before? Now you've failed and you're blaming others?"
"You..." Li Ruhua took a few steps back in shock and stared at Su Qingwen in disbelief. She never thought that Su Qingwen would know all about it.
"Surprised how I know? You just didn't do a good job of covering your tracks. This is your own doing. From now on, you'll live under people's pointing fingers. After we return to the palace, your situation will only get worse."
After saying this, Su Qingwen gave her a meaningful look and then turned away.
"No," Li Ruhua seemed to have suffered a great blow. She fell to the ground in a mess and lowered her head in pain.
That night, Li Ruhua sat in a daze in front of the bronze mirror. She looked at the woman in the mirror with a desperate look in her eyes. Turning to the maid beside her, she asked, "Do you think a woman like me will be spurned by everyone?"
"No," the little maid had been on tenterhooks these days, afraid that Li Ruhua would suddenly go crazy and pick on her. Hearing Li Ruhua's sudden question, she was stunned for a moment and immediately lowered her head and denied, "Not many people know about it."
"Liars," Li Ruhua gritted her teeth and cursed silently.
