Chapter 8
However, Chu Chengye looked at her with disdain and disgust.
Su Yingxue curled her lips mockingly. “May I know why Your Highness summoned me?”
A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Chengye’s amber eyes. Everyone in Jiang Du City knew that Su Yingxue admired him. She had always been humble in front of him, afraid of angering him. She did not even dare to look up at him. Now, she was holding her head high and puffed out her chest, looking down on him. This made him very unhappy.
His tone was filled with disdain. “Su Yingxue, I haven’t seen you for a few days, but you’ve grown up. You disobeyed your father at home and bullied your sister. Do you still have any respect for the laws of the country?”
Su Yingxue burst out laughing. “Your Highness, you must be joking. Of course, I take the laws of the country to heart. As for the family rules… speaking of which, did you come to the wrong door?”
The mockery in Su Yingxue’s eyes reminded Chu Chengye that this was the Marquis’s Manor, not his manor. He had come here to teach her family rules?
A joke of the year was born.
“Su Yingxue!” Chu Chengye growled coldly in a low voice, “Are you looking down on me? Yurou is my good friend and I respect the Marquis of Martial South greatly. But now, you treat them like this. I will not let you off!”
“Oh?” Su Yingxue raised her eyebrows. She wanted to know why His Highness wouldn’t let her go.
“Kneel down immediately and apologize to the Marquis and Yurou, and I’ll spare you. I’ll save you faces in the future, or else, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Chu Chengye spoke with conviction and righteousness.
If she had not died once, she would have listened to every word Chu Chengye said and done it, but…
What was he talking about now?
In her previous life, he had been in cahoots with Su Yurou, coaxing her so much that she had to go around in circles. Before she died, he had slept with Su Yurou right in front of her. In this life, why should she listen to him?
“I won’t do what Your Highness has said. Furthermore, I still have matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany Your Highness.”
Su Yingxue’s face was cold. It was a waste of time to stay in front of Chu Chengye any longer!
Her time after her rebirth was very precious. There was no need to waste it on trash.
“Su Yingxue, stop right there!” Chu Chengye was furious. He was used to being pursued by Su Yingxue, but he had never been treated coldly by her.
He threatened her, “If you don’t apologize to Yurou today, don’t even think about leaving this place!”
His guards stood in front of Su Yingxue, one on the left and one on the back. Su Yingxue’s lips curled up coldly. Did he have her father’s permission and still wanted to teach her a lesson in her house?
“Your Highness, don’t!”
Su Yurou was dressed in a green dress as she ran out of the room. Her body was like a willow, and after taking two steps, she fell towards Chu Chengye.
Chu Chengye quickly helped her up, his eyes filled with heartache. “Yurou, why did you come out when you’re sick? Go back to your room and lie down!”
“Your Highness, it’s all my fault. If you punish my sister today, I will blame myself! Your Highness, please don’t blame her!” Two lines of tears flowed down Su Yurou’s delicate face, and the cinnabar dot between her eyebrows looked light and charming.
Chu Chengye hugged her delicate body and was especially moved. However, he hated Su Yingxue even more in his heart.
“Su Yingxue, look at how good Yurou is to you. She’s so sick, yet she’s still pleading for mercy for you! You pushed her into the water and even snatched her ginseng. How despicable! Quickly apologize to Yurou!” As Chu Chengye spoke, he was about to order the two guards to attack Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue’s expression was cold, and her eyes were filled with indifference.
“Attack! Make her kneel in front of Yurou and apologize to her!” Chu Chengye ordered his subordinates angrily.
The two guards immediately attacked Su Yingxue. Su Yingxue did not have much strength, but when she was grabbed and resisted, her arm exploded with shocking strength, throwing one person ten meters away. She punched the other person in the chest, causing him to vomit blood.
Chu Chengye and Su Yurou were stunned.
Su Yingxue was also puzzled. In her previous life, she did not seriously learn martial arts. Her grandfather forced her, but she only managed to practice some mediocre martial arts. It was impossible for her to defeat the royal guards, but now…
“Fight! Beat these two bastards up!”
The voice of a three-year-old appeared in her mind. Su Yingxue’s eyebrows moved slightly. “Little Ginseng, it’s you?”
“I’m already a few thousand years old, you’re the little one! If they bully you, they’re bullying me! Beat them up! Don’t feel bad!” Little Ginseng threw a tantrum in a childish voice. Its voice was crisp and cute.
Su Yingxue smiled. “Alright.”
The Little Ginseng was giving her face, she definitely couldn’t disappoint it!
After the two guards got up, they attacked her again. She swept her leg and put the two of them down. She gave them a few punches and kicks respectively. The entire Sunset Court was filled with their screams.
“Su Yingxue, how dare you! How dare you touch the people around me!” Chu Chengye’s face turned green. He had never been so embarrassed before. He shouted at the fallen guard, “Useless! You couldn’t even handle her!”
“Your Highness, please spare me…”
The two guards laid on the ground and cried. Su Yingxue was too terrifying!
She was even stronger than the two of them!
“Sister, you… you must not hurt His Highness! Otherwise, if the Emperor blames us, our Marquis’s Manor will suffer!” Su Yurou leaned weakly against Chu Chengye, her heart clenched in anger.
She had provoked her on purpose. If she dared to touch Chu Chengye, she would be punished by the Emperor!
“She’s not the one who’s going to suffer.”
A cold and deep voice drifted in. Before they even saw the person, this voice was like a mountain pressing on their hearts.
Chu Chengye held his breath as he looked at the person who had just arrived. “Ninth Imperial Uncle? Why are you here?”
What kind of wind blew in the Marquis’s Manor to blow this big Buddha over?
Su Yurou’s entire body trembled. She couldn’t believe that she had actually met the most respected Ninth Prince of the Great Cheng Dynasty!
Chu Yihan was dressed in a purple-gold python robe, and his entire body was emitting a cold aura. The sun was clearly shining brightly, but the moment he entered, the courtyard seemed to have entered a winter chill.
Su Yingxue frowned in confusion. What was this person doing here?
Rumor had it that the Ninth Imperial Uncle, Chu Yihan, was a man of great power. He was cold and bloodthirsty, and unpredictable. Everyone in the court was afraid of him as if he was the King of Hell. Chu Chengye had also become a quail in front of him.
And he…
Su Yingxue’s eyes widened. Wasn’t that shining jade pendant hanging from this person’s waist hers?
F*ck!
The man from that night was him?
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth.
Chu Yihan ignored Su Yingxue’s gaze as she stared at him. He walked in front of Chu Chengye and smiled. “Who gave you the guts to behave atrociously in Old General Su’s residence?”
Chu Chengye immediately lowered his head, feeling indignant. “Imperial Uncle, I didn’t behave atrociously. It’s Su Yingxue who has gone too far. She bullied Yurou and even disobeyed her father. She’s really detestable!”
“Is that so?” Chu Yihan’s tone rose. There was a smile on his lips, but his body was emitting a bone-chilling chill.
Chu Chengye’s heart was beating faster under the pressure of his aura, and he felt as if his entire body had been frozen.
