However, Su Mingyu was not afraid of him.
"Humph," she sneered, and her eyes instantly turned cold.
Almost at the same time, she raised her hand, and a silver glint flew out of her sleeve.
It was a hidden weapon!
Mu Yi instinctively dodged, but only felt a sharp pain in his wrist. A small arrow had pierced into his flesh.
Su Mingyu flashed forward, quickly stepped up and grabbed his little finger, then suddenly bent it backward.
Mu Yi's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
Su Mingyu gave Mu Yi a cold sideways glance, her face as frosty as ice.
"If there were poison on this arrow, you'd be a dead man by now."
Mu Yi hung his head in shame, biting his teeth to stop himself from groaning in pain.
"Neat and decisive. Truly impressive skills."
Clear applause rang out. Gu Ruobai's face was filled with a triumphant smile.
Su Mingyu glanced at Mu Yi, who was completely defenseless, and then realized what was going on. She turned back and glared angrily at Gu Ruobai. "You were testing me?!"
He spread his hands innocently. "I saw Miss Mingyu handle the blunderbuss so skillfully today. I was just curious about what other abilities you have."
"I didn't expect Miss Su to really surprise me."
Big drops of cold sweat rolled down Mu Yi's cheeks. Gu Ruobai softened his tone. "Since Miss Mingyu isn't hurt, shouldn't you let go of my guard?"
"Humph."
Su Mingyu snorted disdainfully and forcefully flung away Mu Yi's finger.
Mu Yi fell to the side in pain.
Su Mingyu was too lazy to entangle with this man any longer. "Your Highness, please take your good guard and leave as soon as possible."
She pointed coldly at the door. Her face clearly showed the word "scram".
Mu Yi staggered to his feet, clutching his bleeding wrist. Gu Ruobai looked at the hidden weapon on his wrist, lost in thought.
"Miss Mingyu, rest early. I'll take my leave."
With that, the two opened the door and left, their figures disappearing into the night.
Looking at the wide - open door, Su Mingyu was furious. She got up and strode over.
"What kind of a prince! He's just a madman."
Su Mingyu's petite face was full of anger as she muttered indignantly.
She plopped down on the bed and lay down cursing.
She never thought that she, a new human being who had traveled through time from the 21st century, would be toyed with like this by an ancient disabled uncle!
Fine, very good!
If this disabled prince dared to play tricks on her, Su Mingyu, she hoped she'd never run into him again. Otherwise, every time she saw him, she'd teach him a lesson!
Perhaps because she had something on her mind, Su Mingyu didn't sleep well that night.
She suddenly woke up, covered in a cold sweat.
Zhizhu happened to come in with a cup of water and was startled by Su Mingyu, who suddenly sat up. "Miss, are you okay?"
Su Mingyu waved her hand. "I'm just a bit tired."
She got up wearily, sat on the edge of the bed, and it took her a while to calm down.
After simply washing her face, she felt much more refreshed. Su Mingyu said to Zhizhu, "
"Give me the addresses of those embroiderers you found last time. I'm going out."
Hearing that she was going out again, Zhizhu looked nervous. "But... Madam said for you to go and see her..."
Su Mingyu slapped her forehead. If Zhizhu hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten.
She didn't know what trouble Madam was going to cause for her this time. But if she didn't go, Madam would surely make things difficult for Zhizhu in her absence.
After thinking for a while, Su Mingyu had no choice but to compromise. "Then I'll go now. You don't need to follow me."
After walking through the winding corridors, Su Mingyu finally reached Wang Manwen's courtyard.
As soon as she reached the courtyard gate, she heard a pained roar.
"Su Mingyu, that bitch! I'll surely skin her alive and pull out her tendons!"
Needless to say, this must be Su Yueyue venting her anger because of her injury.
She never learned her lesson even after getting beaten. It was really speechless.
It seemed that Madam had called her here mostly because of Su Yueyue's injury.
Having an idea in mind, she walked in slowly.
But as soon as she reached the inner courtyard, she was stopped by someone.
Su Mingyu gave her a sideways glance. "What do you mean?"
"Eldest Miss, there are rules for paying respects."
The maid was haughty and looked disdainful. "Rushing in like this is a great disrespect to Madam."
Images of this maid bullying her former self flashed through Su Mingyu's mind, and a sudden fire flared up in her heart. She looked at the maid with a fake smile. "So what should I do?"
The maid pointed at the cobblestone path outside the door and said arrogantly, "According to etiquette, you should kneel there and wait."
Su Mingyu raised her hand and slapped her.
"Presumptuous! Who do you think you are?"
She slapped extremely hard, and the maid's face instantly swelled up like a bun.
The maid was so scared that her eyes widened. She covered her face in pain and shouted, "Someone! The eldest miss is beating someone!"
Her shout alarmed everyone in the courtyard. For a moment, all the servants swarmed up and surrounded Su Mingyu, glaring at her fiercely.
Fine! They were taking advantage of their numbers and used to bullying her, weren't they!
Hearing the noise, Wang Manwen slowly walked out. She didn't ask a single question, just stood at the door and watched.
Su Mingyu understood that Wang Manwen must be waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
With a fierce look in her eyes, she snorted disdainfully. Right in front of Wang Manwen, she gave the maid another hard slap on the other side of her face.
"Slut!"
This slap was also extremely hard. The maid's face was swollen beyond recognition, and blood was flowing from her mouth and nose.
Su Mingyu let go, and the maid flopped to the ground, groaning in pain.
This Su Mingyu dared to beat her servant right in front of her! She was trying to ride on her head!
Wang Manwen was so angry that her teeth were grinding. Her face was ashen.
But thinking of Su Yueyue's injury, she didn't dare to lose her temper. She could only grit her teeth and endure it.
After hitting the maid, Su Mingyu still wasn't satisfied. She looked down and scolded, "You lowly servant! Second Madam asked me to treat my sister. How dare you stop me? If my sister's condition is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"
What a clever move of using someone else's hand to get rid of an enemy!
Wang Manwen gasped in anger. This Su Mingyu was really different from before!
Su Mingyu looked up, as if just noticing Wang Manwen. She took two slow steps forward, curtsied, and said, "Paying respects to Second Madam."
