Sheng Ping felt that in front of Su Yingxue, she was like naked prey, allowing her to freely scrutinize her.
Her smile was tinged with sadness. It turned out she had already seen through her.
And yet, she remained unaware that she was hoping to exploit this very vulnerability to plot against Su Yingxue.
However, Su Yingxue’s proposition was quite enticing, “Dr. Su, Sheng Ping is willing to trade with you, but…”
Sheng Ping bit her lip, her face showing a hint of shyness, “Sheng Ping knows these memories are rather insignificant. Asking Dr. Su to help me rid myself of Chu Xiuwen is causing you a loss, but 1 also want to ask for your help with… one thing!”
Su Yingxue’s expression turned cold, “Princess, you acknowledge the insignificance, yet you still request? You should be aware that if Chu Xiuwen continues to pursue you, you’ll face dire consequences!”
“He’s a prince of the royal family. Even if exposed, his punishment will be trivial. But you, a princess of a fallen country, if discovered, your reputation will be ruined. You won’t be able to marry, and the emperor might even kill you to protect Chu Xiuwen’s face!”
“I understand! This isn’t the first time I’ve been humiliated. I’m not afraid of death, but I have a single wish, one that only you can help me fulfill. It’s my only wish!”
Sheng Ping knelt before Su Yingxue.
Initially disgusted by Sheng Ping’s deception, Su Yingxue’s feelings softened as
Sheng Ping knelt before her.
Yet, she knew she couldn’t let her compassion override her judgment.
Her face remained stern. “I will only help you deal with Chu Xiuwen. I won’t assist you in anything else.”
“Even if I want to see Your Highness again, will Dr. Su not be willing to help me?”
Tears streamed down Sheng Ping’s pale face as she knelt, like petals tossed by the wind and rain, landing in the mud. It was pitiful.
Su Yingxue hadn’t anticipated this request.
A pang of bitterness crept into her heart.
She still needed to help her meet Chu Yihan…
Iler instinct was to refuse!
However, Sheng Ping remained kneeling. She was once a princess of a country. Now, she had no country and no home. Even as a princess, she was bullied pitifully.
“Get up. We can discuss future matters later.” Su Yingxue extended a hand to help Sheng Ping up.
Sheng Ping got up and wiped away her tears. Her smile remained as beautiful as blossoming peach flowers. “Dr. Su, your kindness will be rewarded. If I can see Your Highness again privately in this life, 1’11 die without regrets.”
Su Yingxue was rendered speechless.
It would have been better if she hadn’t spoken.
Her words seemed to have made her strangely want to fulfill Sheng Ping’s request, leading her to die with regrets.
“Bah!”
Su Yingxue shook her head. What was she thinking? She wasn’t as petty as Su Yurou.
She wouldn’t let anyone harm Sheng Ping.
What a pitiful woman.
“Wow, my future sister-in-law, you can even tolerate this? You’re so generous!”
Chu Jinling, the embodiment of gossip, exclaimed in amazement as he scribbled down notes with a pen.
“Ninth Prince, what are you doing here?” Su Yingxue was surprised this time.
When did this guy show up?
Chu Jinling chuckled. “I’m just… gathering material. But don’t worry, 1 didn’t hear what you two discussed earlier! 1 only started taking notes when you mentioned my brother.”
“What are you writing?” Su Yingxue leaned in skeptically, snatching the paper from his hand when he wasn’t looking.
“Hey, hey, hey! Be careful, that’s my material. 1 need to produce another volume when 1 get back. My bookstore is waiting!”
Chu Jinling jumped up and down anxiously..
