Lu Yao’s eyes glinted with a tinge of imperceptible ruthlessness, and Su Kui curled her lips up. “Huh, I don’t know whether you’ll be tainted…”

Before the crowd’s gaze, she smirked in a vile manner. Surrounded by a powerful aura, she softly said, “…But I do know this… Lu Yao, go and call Mrs. Tan over. Tell her everything that has happened in my room. Ask her to come and carry out justice for me!”

Lu Yao’s eyes lit up as she curtseyed before Su Kui at once. ” I will go now!”

Yu Yingying’s expression changed. Mrs. Tan’s harsh scolding still echoed in her ears, and her kneecaps ached now that she recalled the memory.

She took two steps forward to stop Lu Yao. “You are not allowed to go!”

Su Kui’s eyes turned cold. “Yu Yingying, you are way out of line. Since when do you get to order my palace maid around?!”

Her voice was clear and pleasing to the ear like pearls falling from a jade plate, yet it somehow gave those who heard it a chilling sense.

“They are finally going to fight!” Other preparative concubines who were watching breathed a sigh of relief. By right, should the person who lashed out not be more horrifying?

On the contrary, being able to get angry often meant that things could still be fixed. Yet, looking at the way Su Kui reacted just now, no matter how Yu Yingying insulted her, she was still able to stay calm and smile in response. That was when one really hid a blade behind her smile. You never knew when she would stab you with it.

However, they all thought wrong. There was another kind of person in the world, one who was frightening regardless of when she was furious or calm…

And Su Kui was exactly that kind of person.

“Little Mistress Yu, please let me through. Please do not block my way out. It is a good thing if Mrs. Tan can bear witness. If you have any other opinions, you can lay it out in front of her,” Lu Yao said.

Outside the window, the mellow sunlight shone through the Osmanthus flowers and cast shadows onto the ground.

Su Kui was sitting on the couch and holding on to the window frame while looking out. Her charming little face was exposed under the sun, which somehow made her skin more crystal clear. Her face was gorgeous.

She was so beautiful that she was reminiscent of a fairy. With those sparkling and beautiful eyes, there was no way she was the rumored rakshasi woman.

There was more than one confused person. Almost all of them held the same doubts inside. They looked at her with complicated emotions; some were jealous or envious while quite a lot of them were fearful of her.

Su Kui was not bothered by their gazes. She grinned and said, “Little Mistress Yu, why are you still standing there? All of you, let her through. Otherwise, when Mrs. Tan comes later, she might punish all of you for gathering and making a scene. What will you be able to do then? Am I right?

She did not look at the unpleasant expression on the other preparative concubines’ faces when she finished. Instead, she covered her mouth and giggled. By then, they might not even be able to become palace maids, let alone preparative concubines.

Hence, the group of young ladies was seen making a path in an orderly fashion. Anyone could see how powerful Su Kui’s words were!

“You…All of you…” Yu Yingying was furious. It did not matter if she wanted to leave or make way; both options were awkward for her.

At that critical point, Su Kui took the opportunity to give her a way out. “Actually, there is another way if you don’t want Mrs. Tan to come.”

“What way?” Those words spilled out before Yu Yingying even realized it.

“Come here, I’ll tell you.” Su Kui curled her finger and smiled. Two sweet dimples were visible on her cheeks. It reminded one of the big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood.

Yu Yingying gave her a suspicious glance before she walked over. As soon as she came close to bowing her head, a slap was thrown across her delicate face.

Slap…
