The steward had no choice but to speak the truth, âMadam neglected Ninth Prince, andâ¦â He hesitated to say more about Ninth Prince and Miss Su but ended up revealing, âMaster punished her with dozens of lashes! Now⦠itâs execution!â
âWhat?! Mother!â The Min Jia County Lord was about to rush to see Madam Sheng.
However, after just taking two steps, she noticed that Su Yingxue was still standing there, and a surge of anger filled her heart!
She pointed at Su Yingxue, gritting her teeth angrily. âYou, little wretch! You intruded into my residence and caused my mother to be beaten. Todayâ¦â The county lord was determined to teach her a lesson!
Taking advantage of the crowd around her, she waved her hand, instructing them to charge at Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue placed the medicine box behind her and poked Saint Ruan. âRoll up your other sleeve too.â
Preparing for a fight.
Saint Ruan, looking at the approaching servants with excitement in his eyes, rolled up his other sleeve.
âCrack!â
âWhoosh!â
âBang bang!â
âPa!â
After a series of loud noises, all the servants in the Regional Princeâs Mansion lay defeated at Su Yingxue and Saint Ruanâs feet.
Su Yingxue hadnât made a move yet. After Saint Ruan had finished, she approached the Min Jia County Lord. âCounty Lord, are your servants so easily defeated?â
The Min Jia County Lords could not control her anger any longer. âSu Yingxue, how dare you! I⦠Iâll beat you to death!â
Thinking that Su Yingxue was just another sheltered young lady like her, she clenched her fist and swung it at her.
Su Yingxue had been waiting for this punch.
Hit her?
Of course not. Su Yingxue grabbed her arm, twisted it, and then delivered two punches to her eye sockets, creating a symmetrical panda-eye effect. Afterward, she held the county lordâs hand and made her slap her face.
Using the Min Jia County Lordâs hand, Su Yingxue slapped the county lordâs face until it swelled. Then, she let her go, dusted off her hands, and looked at the stunned steward. âYou witnessed it. Your county lord initiated the attack. We acted in self-defense.â
The steward was left speechless.
Could he claim to be blind?
This situation was infuriating!
Saint Ruan, helping Su Yingxue carry the medicine box into the courtyard, walked with a joyful gait. âSu Yingxue, youâre truly cunning. After hitting them, you even want the steward to testify that they attacked first!â
Su Yingxue innocently tried to reason with him. âThat is indeed the truth. Did either of us initiate the attack? She was the first to strike when I hit the Min Jia County Lord. I canât just stand there like a fool and let her hit me, right?â
âOf course not! Thatâs why you mentioned Madam Sheng. You wanted her to know that her mother was beaten, to provoke her and make her hit you. This way, youâd have a reason to openly strike her.â Saint Ruan hummed a tune.
He had seen through Su Yingxueâs cunning nature!
This girl, it was fine if you didnât provoke her, but once you did, she would be cunning and ruthless. After the scheming, she would openly beat you up, leaving you with no reason to retaliate!
Therefore, he would rather offend all the women in the world than offend Su Yingxue.
This girl was too crafty!
Su Yingxue didnât argue against Saint Ruanâs statements. Instead, she was more concerned about Su Han.
As they walked into the courtyard, Su Han, despite being bedridden, had not a single servant attending to her.
Su Yingxueâs heart sank a little.
She didnât know which room was Su Hanâs bedroom, but after checking other rooms, she noticed one with a door locked from the outside.. She knocked on the door, inquiring, âSister, are you in there?â
