Chapter 298: Sheer Madness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying lowered her eyes icily. “Are you qualified to threaten me?”
“Your Highness really has a fiery temper. Little Sister Rong was just joking with you and you wanted to take her life. Who in the capital would dare to talk to Your Highness in the future?” A woman in a green dress walked over with everyone surrounding her.
“Joking with me?” Su Ying’s fingers flicked over the platter of fruits on the table to the ground. “Since you think it’s a joke, then pick it up and eat it. I will apologize to her then.”
Li Qinyu choked. Her face, which was decked out in exquisite makeup, was filled with humiliation.
She was the most outstanding eldest daughter of the legal wife in Marquis Changan’s Residence. When had she ever been humiliated like this?
Moreover, the person who humiliated her was Su Ying, whom she had never taken seriously.
“Su Ying, this place is our Marquis Changan’s Residence. You have no right to act impudently here!”
The smile on Su Ying’s lips turned even more icy. “You guys didn’t send the invitation?”
“We invited you here to be a guest, not to commit atrocity!”
“Bai Shuang.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Bai Shuang puffed out her chest and stood up. The scene of Su Ying teaching Rong Mingxi a lesson just now was simply downright satisfying!
“What is the punishment for offending the Princess Consort?”
“Twenty slaps on the mouth, Your Highness!”
“Mm-hmm. Go ahead and slap.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Slap! Slap!
When two slaps landed on Li Qinyu’s face, she hadn’t even come back to her senses. She had really been frightened into a daze.
Li Qinyu was the eldest daughter of the legal wife of Marquis Changan. Notwithstanding the fact she received the love of thousands, Su Ying still dared to treat her like this in someone else’s territory…
This was sheer madness!
“You slut! How dare you hit me! What are the rest of you still standing there for? Hurry up and take this slut down for me.” Li Qinyu’s face had turned red with rage. She had never been humiliated like this before. Her exquisitely made-up face had also turned ferocious.
Upon hearing this, the maidservants of Marquis Changan’s Residence rushed forward to grab Bai Shuang, but Su Ying pushed the table in front of her to block their path.
“Let’s see who dares to touch my people.”
“Su Ying, are you crazy?” Li Qinyu was so angry that she wished she could lunge at Su Ying and scratch her face.
Su Ying raised her eyelids. “If it weren’t for those Western Liang dishes and those few lambs, Bai Shuang wouldn’t be the one to slap you. You should be grateful.”
“You! You!”
“My Yu’er…” When Mrs. Marquis Changan heard the news, she rushed here. When she saw Li Qinyu’s swollen face, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
She suppressed her anger and glared at Su Ying. “What is the meaning of this, Your Highness? Why can’t we talk things out properly instead of hitting people?”
“The prerequisite for me to talk things out properly is that she must know how to talk like a human. If she can’t even speak human language, then 1 can only use the method of training an animal to teach her a lesson.”
Gasp!
Some people in the crowd gasped. Had Su Ying really gone mad? She actually called the daughter of Mrs. Marquis Changan an animal in front of her.
Mrs. Marquis Changan could no longer maintain her dignity for the sake of the bigger picture.
This was their home ground. If they were to be bullied by Su Ying here, how would they face the public and maintain their standing in the capital in the future?
“Princess Consort Qi has beaten someone up for no reason and even spouted nonsense in my residence. If my family cannot have justice served today, Lord Marquis will have wasted all these years in the capital.” Mrs. Marquis Changan gave an eye signal and the guards that had followed her all stepped forward to surround Su Ying and Bai Shuang.
Su Ying furrowed her brows impatiently. She was just here today to feast on meat and dishes, yet there were so many idiots who were more annoying than flies.
Xiao Jue stood outside the crowd and looked at Su Ying, who was surrounded by the crowd. A conflicted look appeared in his eyes. She was indeed completely different now.
She was flamboyant and arrogant. If he said she was stupid, she exuded an aura that indicated she didn’t take any of these people seriously. If he said she was smart, she seemed totally ignorant that there were more benefits to winning over these people present than offending them.
He felt very conflicted. He hated Su Ying for what she had done to him, but it was difficult for him to shift his gaze away from her.
After offending so many people in the Marquis’s Residence, he wanted to see how she would extricate herself from this mess.
Su Ying’s gaze swept over these people icily. “Justice? What justice do you want? The justice in your eyes is that 1 am not allowed to retaliate when these people trample on me brazenly?”
Mrs. Marquis Changan gritted her teeth and said, “1 only saw and heard you humiliate Yu’er!”
“I’m Princess Consort Qi. She offended me, yet 1 only gave her two slaps. 1 have been kind to her.”
“Princess Consort Qi? Haha! Just because you are Princess Consort Qi, you can look down on others and commit murder without restraint? You are clearly ruining the reputation of the Imperial Family. If the Emperor finds out, he will definitely not forgive you easily!”
Su Ying slightly raised her chin and asked, “What do you want?”
Mrs. Marquis Changan thought that Su Ying was going to capitulate, so she said haughtily, “I won’t make things difficult for Your Highness. If Your Highness can pick up the fruit platter on the ground and apologize to Yu’er and the others, 1 will consider this matter settled.”
“What if I don’t?”
“Then don’t blame our Marquis’s Residence for not showing you any courtesy!”
Su Ying slowly stood in front of Bai Shuang and curled her lips icily. “Then 1 want to see how you guys are going to not show me courtesy.”
The guards of the Marquis’s Residence caught Mrs. Marquis Changan’s eye signal and all of them charged forward with vicious gazes, intending to capture Su Ying.
Su Ying grabbed the guard’s wrist in one move and gently twisted it. The garden was filled with the guard’s screams of pain.
She released her hand and that guard’s hand hung there in an odd posture.
The other guards were all shocked by what they saw, but before they could react, Su Ying slapped them in the face one after another.
The guards’ necks were tilted to one side and all of them fell down with their necks in that tilted position!
More than a dozen guards had all fallen in less than fifteen minutes after Su Ying laid her hands on them.
Everyone present was scared out of their wits. They knew very well what Su Ying was like in the past, but the current Su Ying… was so strong that they did not dare to acknowledge her anymore…
Was this Su Ying?
This couldn’t be!
Could it be that her exile had allowed her to master some peerless martial arts?
Everyone remained in shock for a long time.
Su Ying frowned and shook her hands. In order to eat more Western Liang dishes today, she had only eaten two bowls of noodles for breakfast in order to leave more space in her stomach to eat more later.
To her annoyance, after arriving here, not only did she not have anything to eat, but she also had to use force.
She was furious!
Su Ying’s gaze turned, and her almond-shaped eyes which were filled with rage landed squarely on Mrs. Marquis Changan.
Mrs. Marquis Changan was so frightened that she shivered. Then she quickly hid behind the maidservant.
At this moment, Li Qinyu saw with the side of her eye a figure walking in their direction.
Her eyes became red-rimmed and she spoke in a choked voice, “Your Highness, everything is my fault. I beg Your Highness to let Mother and the others off. If Your Highness wants to hit anyone, then hit me. I am willing to bear all the blame.” Li Qinyu suddenly walked up to Su Ying and knelt down, crying buckets of tears pitifully.
Su Ying raised an eyebrow. “You admit that you were in the wrong?”
“Yes, it was my fault. Everything was my fault. If Your Highness wants to punish me, then punish me.”
After Li Qinyu finished speaking, she choked back her tears and fell toward Xiao Jin who was walking toward them..
