Su Yingxue slowly stood up. Her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost.
The empress had intentionally made Liu Shulan a concubine and even made Su Yurou the county lord, allowing them to enter the Marquis’s Manor in glory. In order to attack her, she didn’t hesitate to raise the status of Liu Shulan and Su Yurou.
Su Yingxue’s lips curled up coldly. The empress had put in a lot of effort!
“Su Yingxue, why aren’t you accepting the decree?” Chu Chengye looked at her coldly and seemed very dissatisfied.
As a prince, he had received much attention since he was young. Today, when he came dressed up, Su Yingxue didn’t even look at him. She even ignored his mother’s orders, which made him very unhappy.
“Empress’s decree did not mention me, so why should 1 accept it?” Su Yingxue’s performance was decent, but her tone carried a hint of arrogance.
“Su Yingxue, you!” Chu Chengye gritted his teeth. Every time he saw her being so unyielding, he wanted to teach her a lesson and make her kneel in front of him so that she would give in to him.
“Your Highness, sister has worked so hard for the birthday banquet. I think she is not happy because she didn’t get a reward. Please don’t hold it against her,” Su Yurou said considerately.
The smile on her face was bright and beautiful. She seemed to be considerate of Su Yingxue, but it made everyone more and more clear that no matter how much Su Yingxue did, she was only a daughter of the Marquis’s Manor. However, she and her mother were valued by the empress!
This was something that Su Yingxue couldn’t compare to!
Zhilan stood behind Su Yingxue with an angry look in her eyes. “What’s there to be proud of?”
She was merely rewarded by the empress. Had her Miss not been rewarded by the emperor before?
“Congratulations to Aunt for entering the residence. Since Aunt has returned to the residence, let’s start a banquet to celebrate Father’s birthday.”
Su Yingxue glanced at Zhilan and told her to hold it in and not say anything else.
Zhilan immediately restrained her expression and became cautious.
Liu Shulan waved her sleeves and walked in front of Su Yingxue. With a gentle expression, she said, “Yingxue, 1 know that it is hard for you to be in charge, but you have organized this birthday banquet for Marquis in a rather shabby manner. The banquet is held in the reception hall, and I don’t know if the preparations are sufficient. If I were to be in charge, 1 would make Marquis’s birthday banquet more dignified.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes were cold.
Liu Shulan came in with the identity of an aunt, and she wanted to take her down a notch.
Zhilan could answer without her asking, “Lady Liu because it is not Master’s birthday, Miss has followed the old rules of the Marquis’s Manor. The banquet is sufficient, and the four divisions and six chefs have backups. There is nothing that is not presentable or shabby.”
Liu Shulan’s eyes flashed with a cold light. “I’m talking to the Eldest Young Miss. Do you think a maid like you has the right to interrupt?”
“Smack!”
Su Yurou stepped forward and slapped Zhilan. Five fingerprints instantly appeared on Zhilan’s fair face.
She bit her lip. “I’m just answering the question on behalf of Miss.”
“Smack!”
Beside Su Yurou, Yuan Ruo slapped Zhilan again and shouted with a stern expression, “You’re just a lowly servant. How dare you call yourself me in front of aunt and the county lord? You deserve a beating!”
“You…”
Zhilan covered her face and retreated. Su Yingxue did not react, so she endured this grievance.
But just as she retreated, Su Yingxue smiled and said, “The first thing you want to do when you enter the residence is to talk about rules with me, right?”
In the past, Liu Shulan did not have any status and could only lower herself. Now that she and Su Yurou had status, the aura on her body was different. “Yingxue, I shouldn’t have done this today, but since I’ve entered the residence and I’m your elder, I have to teach you well.”
“Alright.” Su Yingxue curled her lips and pulled out the red jade soft whip from her waist. She immediately threw it at Su Yurou and her servant..
