"You..." Sun Ruoyun's chest heaved violently, clearly infuriated by Xiao Yao. "Legitimate Daughter? You're just the daughter of a powerless merchant, and you dare to lecture me on the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children? Hahaha, so what if I'm illegitimate? I am still General Wei Zheng's daughter! My status is higher than yours! What qualifications do you have to shout at me?!"
Xiao Yao listened quietly to Sun Ruoyun's unreasonable outburst and smiled slightly. "Yes, you are General Wei Zheng's daughter. But why did your father have to beg the emperor to arrange a marriage for you with the prince? Now you come here to cause trouble; do you think you still have a reason to be angry?"
"How do you know I didn't ask my father to seek the emperor's favor for marriage?!" Sun Ruoyun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Then why didn't the emperor grant you a marriage?" Xiao Yao looked at Sun Ruoyun leisurely. This kind of brainless older sister was truly a first for Xiao Yao. Although she had been slapped, she found it both laughable and absurd. At the same time, she thought that even before the marriage was settled, someone was already causing trouble; it seemed that her future days would not be peaceful.
Xiao Yao sighed inwardly, feeling that her tranquil and happy days were waving goodbye to her, drifting further away. She couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Seeing Xiao Yao sigh, Sun Ruoyun immediately assumed that Xiao Yao looked down on her and angrily said, "What are you? How dare you look down on me! I'll make sure you regret it!" Before she finished speaking, she lunged forward. The attendant who had come in with Sun Ruoyun panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her. "Sister, sister! Don't! She's about to become Consort Xuanping! If anything happens to her, how will you explain it to the prince?"
"Explain?" Sun Ruoyun sneered. "Fine, I won't tear her mouth apart." Just as the attendant breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Ruoyun pulled a hairpin from her head and provocatively looked at Xiao Yao. "Then I'll ruin her face! Let's see what she uses to seduce the prince!"
Everyone present gasped in shock, but Sun Ruoyun was smiling happily. "Isn't she just relying on this face to charm the prince into marrying her? Today, I'll ruin her face and see if the prince still wants her!"
Xiao Yao gasped in shock, her eyes wide open. Did this girl have no sense of morality whatsoever?! How could she even think of such a vicious method?!
Since things had already escalated, Xiao Yao no longer cared. "Sun Erjie, does your father know what you're doing? If this angers the prince because of this incident, it won't be good for your family."
"Really?" At that moment, Sun Ruoyun's eyes sparkled with madness as she glared fiercely at Xiao Yao. "I believe that as long as I ruin your face, when I become Consort Xuanping in the future, my father won't blame me; instead, he will thank me. What can we do about that?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yao shook her head and opened her mouth to say, "You really are delusional." Just as she began to speak, she heard another voice echoing hers simultaneously. Xiao Yao's heart leaped with joy—He Yu had returned!
He Yu and Xiao Yao spoke in unison, causing Sun Ruoyun's face to turn pale instantly. All her previous bravado vanished, and she stood there dumbfounded as He Yu walked in. He Yu said while walking, "I just returned from the palace and heard someone causing trouble for my future princess. Sun Ruoyun, who gave you the audacity?"
"Prince..." Sun Ruoyun trembled in place, swaying slightly, her voice quivering.
Now you know fear? Where was this earlier? Xiao Yao felt no sympathy for the girl; recalling her earlier arrogance made Xiao Yao feel somewhat pleased.
He Yu walked over to Xiao Yao's side and wrapped an arm around her. His gaze immediately fell on her flushed cheek, and he turned back to glare fiercely at Sun Ruoyun. "What is going on?! You better explain yourself right now."
"I..." Sun Ruoyun hesitated for a moment, gritting her teeth and recklessly saying, "It's not me! It's her; she disrespected me and insulted me! I am the sister of the Wei Zheng General's Residence! She's just a commoner; can’t I punish her a little?"
"Oh? Commoner?" He Yu narrowed his eyes, the light in them resembling a pack of wolves in the dark, making Sun Ruoyun shiver involuntarily. "Sun Ruoyun, are you mistaken? Xiao Yao is my princess, granted by the emperor. Right now, it's just a matter of formality; her status is above yours. What right do you have to hit her?"
"Whose? You clearly haven't married!" He Yu's words struck Sun Ruoyun like a knife. She immediately jumped up and climbed in front of He Yu, grabbing his clothing and crying out, "You clearly said you would marry me; why, why..."
"When did I ever say I would marry you? Do you believe everything said in brothels?" He Yu chuckled lightly and ordered, "Someone, take Sun Erjie away to rest properly and inform the Sun Family to come collect her. Oh right, Sun Ruoyun, I forgot to tell you that your father returned to the capital an hour ago; he must be back at the residence by now."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ruoyun's eyes widened in shock, her whole body trembling like a leaf. "No... no... Prince, I was wrong; I was wrong... please don't let my father know. I beg you..."
He Yu squatted down, looking at Sun Ruoyun, who was now weeping uncontrollably with no grace left. "If General Sun knew that he doted on a well-behaved and sweet-talking illegitimate daughter who turned out to be such a vicious person, what would happen to your status in the Sun Family?"
Sun Ruoyun's eyes were wide with fear and confusion. "No, I can't let my father know; please... I beg you..."
"Then when you hit me back then, didn’t you think about this consequence?" He Yu said softly before standing up and expressionlessly ordering, "Take Sun Erjie to my residence; let General Sun come to my residence to collect her!"
"No, don't..." Sun Ruoyun shook her head frantically, but no one paid her any attention. Two guards came up and took Sun Ruoyun away.
Xiao Yao watched as Sun Ruoyun was taken away in a pitiful state and let out a long sigh of relief. He Yu looked at the marks on her face and said with concern, "Does it hurt? I'll have the doctor take a look right away."
"Mm." Xiao Yao nodded. Although she was curious about what would happen to Sun Ruoyun next, this was not the time for that, so she remained silent as He Yu led her into the room.
