Humiliated like this by Su Yueyue, the fat guy felt a bit embarrassed: "Su Yueyue! You're just a bastard daughter of the Minister's family. It's already a great honor for you to be the young mistress of our Wang family."
"Our Wang family is extremely wealthy in the whole Yannan Kingdom. Even your father, Minister Su, would be polite to my father when they meet!"
Wang Chuanjun was so angry that the fleshy folds on his face kept twitching. He pointed at Su Yueyue menacingly: "How dare you insult me like this!"
"Fine! Fine! Fine!"
"Let's just wait and see!"
After saying that, Wang Chuanjun pushed through the crowd and left. Seeing this, the others also slipped away one after another.
Even someone with Wang Chuanjun's family background was beaten like this. Those young masters who wanted to curry favor with Su Yueyue didn't dare to say a word.
Almost in an instant, only Lin Jun and Su Yueyue were left in the entire courtyard.
Lin Jun was extremely frustrated. He originally wanted to frame Su Mingyu but unexpectedly involved Su Yueyue.
If Su Yueyue couldn't enter the Prince Yu's Mansion, the Lin family that relied on Wang Manwen would also be in trouble.
Running his hands through his hair, Lin Jun's face turned ashen: "Damn it! Where did that bitch Su Mingyu go? We must keep this matter a secret at all costs!"
Su Yueyue clenched her fists tightly. A look of gloom came over her face, and her eyes were filled with terrifying hatred: "Su Mingyu! I will surely make you suffer a miserable death!"
...
As soon as Su Yueyue returned from the Lin Mansion, she rushed straight to Su Mingyu's Qinghui Courtyard.
Zhi Zhu saw her coming aggressively and felt a pang of uneasiness. She quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Second Miss... What are you doing? The eldest miss is still sleeping."
Su Yueyue glared at her: "Is she really sleeping, or did she go out to meet her lover and hasn't come back yet?"
After saying that, she pushed aside Zhi Zhu and slammed open the door.
The loud noise woke up Su Mingyu. She yawned and lazily propped herself up from the bed.
Looking at the furious Su Yueyue in confusion, she looked innocent: "What's wrong, sister? Did someone in my courtyard offend you?"
Then, as if just realizing something, Su Mingyu glared at Zhi Zhu angrily: "Bold Zhi Zhu! How dare you disobey the second miss? You're fined half a month's salary and have to clean the Qinghui Courtyard for ten days."
Seeing that Su Mingyu still protected her like this, a look of doubt flashed across Su Yueyue's eyes.
But if Su Mingyu was unaware of anything, why did she leave yesterday?
Moreover, Su Yueyue couldn't remember how she and Lin Jun ended up sleeping together.
She originally thought it was Su Mingyu's doing, but now seeing that she showed no signs of abnormality, Su Yueyue was a bit unsure for a moment.
"I just didn't see you when I came back from the Lin Mansion. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I was a bit impatient. Sister, don't blame Zhi Zhu."
Su Mingyu yawned and squinted at Su Yueyue: "I drank too much last night and don't remember when I came back. I'm really sorry for leaving you alone there. Are you okay, sister?"
Her question about whether she was okay hit Su Yueyue's sensitive nerve.
"I'm... fine."
Gritting her teeth tightly, Su Yueyue forced a ugly smile: "I also drank too much last night..."
"Since you're okay, sister, I'll go back first. After all, we both returned late last night. We need to explain it to mother."
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows: "Then I'll trouble you, sister."
Watching Su Yueyue leave, Su Mingyu's expression suddenly changed: "Zhi Zhu, have you done what I told you?"
"It's already arranged, but..."
Zhi Zhu frowned, looking worried: "If the second miss finds out that we did this, the madam will surely not spare you."
Su Mingyu tapped Zhi Zhu on the head: "If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know? Alright, I'm hungry. Go get me something to eat."
Maybe because she was too stimulated in the Lin Mansion, Su Yueyue stayed quietly in her courtyard for several days.
Taking advantage of the quietness, Su Mingyu drew many blueprints of small weapons and had them forged by blacksmiths.
This body was too weak. She needed something to protect herself.
In a blink of an eye, it was the Prince Yu's birthday.
Su Yueyue dressed up early and went to the Prince Yu's Mansion.
It was indeed the Prince Yu's concubine selection. There were luxurious carriages in front of the Prince Yu's Mansion.
The young ladies from official families all took out their treasured silk dresses to compete with each other. From afar, it looked a bit like a brothel.
Su Mingyu sighed inwardly. The ancient women were really so bored. What was there to compete for?
"Miss, may I see your invitation letter?"
The guard at the door reached out to block Su Mingyu.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on her.
When they saw Su Mingyu's plain dress without any embroidery or patterns, they couldn't help but show sneering smiles in their eyes.
"Yo, which family's young lady is this?"
"She's dressed so shabbily. She's not even as good as my maid. How dare someone like this come to the event..."
Before the young lady could finish her sentence, Su Mingyu slapped the guard who blocked her. The slap was loud and clear.
"Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Don't you recognize the carriage of our Minister's Mansion?"
The guard was dizzy from the slap.
He had just seen Su Mingyu's relatively simple carriage and was still wondering.
Now that he heard it was from the Minister's Mansion, it made sense. In the capital, only Minister Su, who was highly trusted by the emperor, was always so thrifty.
The guard quickly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, miss. I was blind. Please come in, Miss Su..."
Just as Su Mingyu was about to enter the door, she gave a sidelong glance at the young lady who had just mocked her.
Her cold black eyes sized her up and down. She curled her thin lips and sneered: "I was wondering which family's young lady was so arrogant."
"The daughter of the prefect of Jingzhou is actually wearing celestial silk and a hairpin with kingfisher feathers. It seems I have to tell my father when I get back to check the accounts of the prefect of Jingzhou carefully."
