She clenched her hands to suppress the anger in her heart. She lowered her head, eyes wide open where no one could see her.
How dare she, Su Qianxi?
How dare she do this to her! !
Su Qianxi should not think that she would be able to sit back and relax if she climbed up to the Regent. Originally, she wanted to listen to His Highness the Third Prince and be more merciful to Su Qianxi today.
Since Su Qianxi is so aggressive, she must let Su Qianxi take off a layer of skin today! !
Su Qianxi looked at Su Ruowei's clenched fists, wiped the non-existent dust on her hands with a half-smile, and urged.
"Miss Su Er, hurry up. You can't waste time by letting everyone wait for you here."
"Or is it that Miss Su Er thinks that what you, a cheap servant, did is just a trivial matter, and you won't be beaten?"
Seeing this, Qingzhu quickly took out the handkerchief and handed it to Su Qianxi respectfully.
Su Qianxi picked up the handkerchief and wiped the hand that had just touched Su Ruowei's face clean little by little without leaving any gaps. Then she threw the handkerchief on the ground in disgust and stepped on it.
With this obvious dislike, everyone looked at Su Ruowei with a subtle expression.
Su Ruowei was also miserable. She was not the biological daughter of the Su family, so she was inferior to Su Qianxi.
Now Su Qianxi is married to the Prince Regent. The Prince Regent's biological mother is His Majesty's only biological sister, so the Prince Regent can also be regarded as a royal family member.
Not to mention Su Ruowei, even Prime Minister Su had to bow his head and salute when he saw Su Qianxi in public.
The king first and the ministers later have been like this since ancient times.
As long as Su Qianxi is in power, Su Ruowei will never be able to stand up again unless Su Ruowei marries someone more powerful than the regent.
But in Yun Dynasty, besides His Majesty, who else is more powerful than the Regent?
But it happened that His Majesty favored the Regent the most, and even His Majesty's biological children had to step aside.
It can be said that Su Ruowei has to watch Su Qianxi's mood all his life.
None of the ladies from the aristocratic families present were carefully cultivated by their families, and all of them were talented people.
Su Ruowei can't bring them any benefits now, so even if Su Ruowei looks very pitiful now, at most they will only sympathize with Su Ruowei's experience in their hearts.
But it is absolutely impossible for them to stand up for Su Ruowei.
Unless Su Ruowei can give them benefits they can't refuse.
"Second young lady, just now my servant was careless and confused. I said something wrong. Please punish me, second young lady."
Qiuyue and Su Ruowei have also been together for a long time, and one can tell at a glance that Su Ruowei is suppressing his anger.
She was afraid that if Su Ruowei was provoked by Su Qianxi again and showed inappropriate expressions later, the second young lady would be even more marginalized in the aristocratic family circle in the capital.
When the master sent her to the second young lady, he told her that no matter what the cost, the second young lady must be protected. Now is the time when the second young lady needs her.
After Su Ruowei heard Qiuyue's words, she slowly came back to her senses. She looked around at the people around her without leaving any trace.
Some of the people around her had indifferent faces, while others were full of worry, but no matter which way they were, no one took the initiative to intercede for her.
Su Ruowei took a deep breath, stood up slowly, walked to Qiuyue who was already kneeling on the ground, waiting for her punishment, and raised her hand with a cold face.
"Snapped--"
With a crisp sound, Qiuyue turned her face away, and her fair skin turned red instantly.
"Snapped--"
Another slap.
Su Ruowei's face was expressionless, and he hit her one after another, like a beating machine without emotion.
With every blow, Su Ruowei's eyes, which always liked to pretend to be weak, became colder and colder.
At this moment, she clearly realized that after Su Qianxi gained the regent's favor and therefore obtained His Majesty's love and affection, the previous petty fights could no longer cause much harm to Su Qianxi.
On the contrary, these petty quarrels not only failed to harm Su Qianxi, but would backfire on her.
If a person's power is strong enough, he can do whatever he wants.
Even if the people around knew that it was Su Qianxi who was being aggressive, no one would accuse Su Qianxi of not doing a good job.
She was careless today.
She has her parents and grandmother to protect her in the Su family. No matter what she says, everyone in the Su family will believe her and stand on her side to accuse Su Qianxi.
Even if Su Qianxi becomes the regent princess, the most she can do is to verbally bully her and embarrass her.
But outside the Su family, even if Su Qianxi slapped her in front of everyone, the people around her would just look on indifferently, or even applaud.
This is the benefit of power.
She should have figured it out long ago! !
If power wasn't too tempting, why would she compete with Su Qianxi for the favor of the Su family?
Why did she go to all the trouble and let Su Qianxi marry the powerful regent on her behalf, just to bet that the third prince would have a chance to inherit the throne, and she might become the mother of a country.
Everything she did was to gain more power.
"It's almost time, isn't the princess holding a banquet yet?"
Su Qianxi was keenly aware of Su Ruowei's emotional ups and downs at the moment, but so what?
Now that she is the regent princess, among all the people present, including the second princess, who dares to confront her for Su Ruoweiming's sake?
Even Su Ruowei's close friend, Wu Qilan, who stood up for Su Ruowei many times in her previous life and caused her to lose her face in public, now kept her mouth shut and hid aside timidly, for fear of being noticed by her.
Power is a really good thing.
In her previous life, she gave in at every turn, only to be pushed harder and harder by others, and she was disgusted and despised by everyone.
In this life, she has been sharp and aggressive, but no one dares to say anything wrong about her.
If she hadn't wanted the people of the Su family to die too quickly, Su Ruowei would have been eaten by wild dogs while standing guard here.
"That's what my cousin said."
Shen Shiwan quickly came to her senses, raised her hand and clapped twice, and soon maids filed in carrying dishes and drinks.
Everyone also sat in their seats, waiting for the second princess to start the banquet.
"Today is the first banquet held since the second princess's palace was built. My cousin didn't have anything good to give you, so she asked the prince for help."
Su Qianxi said, and the person she had just brought immediately placed the gifts prepared by Su Qianxi in front of them, and then opened the red cloth covering them. The ingenious red jade and coral ornaments came into everyone's eyes.
Su Qianxi smiled slightly and said, "I just happened to find a half-person tall red jade coral ornament in the prince's private treasury. I heard that it was a tribute from a small affiliated country a few years ago, and your majesty gave it to the prince."
"It looked good to me, so I asked the prince to bring the things over. Today I will borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha to celebrate the second princess's move to the new house today."
