"Is this all the Princess Consort has prepared for me?" Wu Yurou showed great disdain.
Su Mingyu calmly picked up a piece of vegetable and said, "This is the standard of our Rui Xian Prince's Mansion. If the princess is not satisfied, you may leave."
"You!" Wu Yurou slapped the table hard. "Su Mingyu!"
"Does the princess not want to eat anymore?" Su Mingyu asked without waiting for Wu Yurou's response. She then said without hesitation, "Servants, prepare some food for the princess and take it to the yard."
"I didn't say I wanted to go back to the yard!"
Su Mingyu didn't even raise her head. She clearly had no intention of paying attention to Wu Yurou.
Wu Yurou glared at Su Mingyu angrily. "Did you hear what I said?"
Su Mingyu continued looking at her bowl and was too lazy to say a word.
This kind of cold - shoulder treatment made Wu Yurou so angry that she didn't know where to vent her anger. She simply pointed at Gu Ruobai's nose and said, "Gu Ruobai! Are you going to just stand by and do nothing? As a princess sent for marriage alliance, you and your wife are treating me like this!"
Only then did Gu Ruobai put down his chopsticks. He raised his eyes and looked at Wu Yurou. "Princess, this is the Rui Xian Prince's Mansion. Su Mingyu is the mistress here, so her words are the family rules."
"Fine! Fine! You two are ganging up on me, right?" Wu Yurou's face darkened. "Gu Ruobai, when you were on the border, you clearly said that if I came to find you, you would take me to eat delicious food and let me live in your mansion. You also said that you could protect me in the chaotic situation in the capital!"
Gu Ruobai's first reaction upon hearing this was to look at Su Mingyu's expression.
Su Mingyu had been calmly eating her meal from beginning to end and showed no intention of saying anything to Wu Yurou.
Although Wu Yurou was hot - tempered, she had always been met with this kind of cold - shoulder treatment. In the end, she felt that no matter what she said was wrong. So she simply turned away angrily and ran off.
Watching Wu Yurou's departing back, Su Mingyu still didn't move and continued to eat her meal. Her calm demeanor made the maids can't help but give her a thumbs - up.
This new mistress really had something. She had only said one sentence from beginning to end, but it had already made the other person angry and leave.
In fact, they didn't know that Su Mingyu had already made up her mind. For a willful princess like Wu Yurou, the more you talked to her, the more self - satisfied she would be. So it was better not to pay attention to her.
After the meal, Su Mingyu picked up several plates of barely - touched dishes and put them on a tray. She ordered, "Take these to the princess. If she doesn't want them, then don't send any food tonight."
After saying that, Su Mingyu left the main hall without looking back, leaving the servants looking at each other in dismay.
Early the next morning, before Su Mingyu got up, she heard an angry roar from a distant yard.
Su Mingyu sat up from the bed frowning and asked irritably, "What's going on?"
"Princess Consort, are you awake? The princess is asking for you." A nervous maid's voice sounded outside the door.
Su Mingyu rubbed her temples, put on her clothes, and walked around a few corners to a wooden door. She frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
"Open the door for me! Hurry up!" Wu Yurou's voice was so loud that it made people's eardrums buzz.
Su Mingyu rubbed her nose and gave a look to the maid beside her. Only then did the maid walk over and open the door.
Wu Yurou walked in directly and was about to slap Su Mingyu. Su Mingyu raised her hand to block her. "What's wrong? Why is the princess so angry early in the morning?"
"Su Mingyu! You have such a vicious heart!" Wu Yurou spoke like a machine gun. "I said I wanted to live in the Rui Xian Prince's Mansion. Is this how you arranged it for me? It's fine that you arranged me to the most remote yard in the mansion, but why did you lock me outside!"
Wu Yurou was extremely imposing when she said this. The maids beside her couldn't help but tremble.
But Su Mingyu just raised her eyes and glanced at her calmly. "I think the princess may have misunderstood."
"Bullshit misunderstanding! So many people are watching!" Wu Yurou was extremely irritable. She pointed at Su Mingyu's nose and scolded, "What else do you want to argue about?"
Su Mingyu took a step back and slapped away Wu Yurou's finger. "First of all, the place you're living in is not the most remote yard in the Rui Xian Prince's Mansion, but a mansion next to it.
"Secondly, we didn't mean to lock you outside. We were just locking the door as usual. Does the princess not lock the door when sleeping in the palace?"
As soon as Su Mingyu said this, Wu Yurou got even angrier.
"Good for you! You promised to let me into the Rui Xian Prince's Mansion on the surface, but then you immediately go against your words, right? Su Mingyu! Aren't you afraid that I'll report you to the emperor?"
Watching Wu Yurou's outburst of anger, Su Mingyu didn't even lift her eyelids. "Be my guest."
Saying that, Su Mingyu yawned and turned to walk towards her bedroom. While walking, she ordered, "If the princess wants to have breakfast in the Rui Xian Prince's Mansion, then go and prepare it for her. If she doesn't want to and wants to leave, then don't bother."
"Su Mingyu! Stop for me!" Wu Yurou felt that her head was buzzing with anger. "Su Mingyu!"
No matter how much she roared, Su Mingyu didn't turn back. She didn't even look at her and just walked at her own pace, unhurriedly.
The servants couldn't help but admire their mistress even more after seeing this scene.
For the next few days, Wu Yurou kept causing trouble in the Rui Xian Prince's Mansion.
Su Mingyu and Gu Ruobai seemed to have agreed in advance that they both ignored her. After causing trouble for a few days, Wu Yurou herself got tired and became a bit more restrained.
One day, when they were sitting around the table having a meal, Wu Yurou suddenly grabbed Gu Ruobai's arm and hugged his hand. "I've been in the capital for several days. I want to go out and have a stroll, and buy some clothes, rouge and other things that the young ladies in the capital wear."
Gu Ruobai clearly felt a cold look. So he quickly withdrew his arm. "I'm not convenient to go out because of my health. If you want to buy something, just let the servants accompany you."
"Servants?" Wu Yurou's face changed. "I'm a princess sent for marriage alliance. You're just sending two servants to deal with me? If something happens to me in the capital's market, do you know how serious the consequences will be?"
"I just want you to accompany me!" Wu Yurou pouted and was extremely domineering. "If you don't accompany me, I'll make sure you can't have a moment's peace day and night."
Seeing that Gu Ruobai still wanted to decline even though she had used the matter of the alliance between the two countries to pressure him, Wu Yurou pointed her finger. "If you don't want to go, that's okay. Just let Su Mingyu go with me!"
