Su Kui snorted and did not take her seriously. “Just go ahead and say it. I’ll show you how unreasonable and bossy I am!”
‘Let’s see whether a b*tch in a sheep’s clothing like you will die in the end or a dispensable female supporting character like me will live!’
Feng Qingqing was rooted to the spot in astonishment. She did not expect Feng Yanran to be so daring! She was in front of Prince-regent Jun Mo; how audacious of her to be so arrogant!
Her heart was full of strong reluctance. Her fists on either side were tightly clenched to the point that her nails were poking into her palms. It was extremely painful.
She could not do anything but hold back her anger. Feng Qingqing looked at Su Kui as if she had been wronged and humbly said, “How could you misunderstand me, Sister? I know that you’ve never liked me, but I still treat you respectfully as my legitimate sister.”
Pfft…
Acting… She just kept on acting.
The act was so boring that it made Su Kui yawn. The current Feng Qingqing really did not have the same tactics as her future self. Not only did her actions fail to defame Su Kui, but they also made Jun Mo discover her true personality.
“What time is it, Mrs. Gu? When will the palace door open?”
Mrs. Gu immediately looked at the palace door upon hearing that. At that very moment, the side door by the Gate of Righteousness opened, and a few strict-looking grand palace maids walked out.
Her eyes lit up, and she softly said to Su Kui, “It’s opening now, Milady.”
Su Kui lightly nodded. She smirked when she saw that Feng Qingqing was still crying while kneeling down. “Hey, haven’t you done enough acting?! The palace door has opened. If you can’t wait to make a fool of yourself, keep kneeling!”
Feng Qingqing was jolted by what Su Kui said. She suddenly remembered what the fourth mistress told her before she left.
“Do not purposely stand out. Remember, the moment you step out of the Grand Preceptor’s Residence, you no longer represent yourself but the whole household. If Feng Yanran embarrasses you, you must endure it. She will not be selected no matter what. The imperial family cannot afford to lose face, so there will be a lot of ways for you to exact revenge once you become the imperial concubine. Remember this!”
What the fourth mistress said echoed in her mind for a long time. Feng Qingqing was aghast and starting to break out in a cold sweat.
She felt extremely regretful. Why did she try to compete with that cripple? She knew that Feng Yanran was someone who had no care or fear. It was an embarrassment to argue with her!
‘Mother is right. Wait until I become an imperial concubine. No one will dare to disrespect me then!
‘When that time comes, don’t blame me for being ruthless.’
“You’re right, sister.”
Feng Qingqing stood up from the ground. A cold gleam flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared immediately.
Su Kui, who had been silently watching her, was a bit surprised. She wondered what Feng Qingqing had figured out in such a short amount of time.
Her whole temperament changed, and she became restrained, which made her seem calmer as well as quieter.
Jun Mo remained silent for a long time. He was only looking at Su Kui quietly.
Following her gaze, he naturally saw the change in Feng Qingqing.
There was a murderous gaze in his long and narrow eyes. This young lady could not be kept. If she were allowed to rise through the ranks, he was afraid that she would deal with Su Kui the first chance she got.
He looked at Su Kui. Even though she could not run like a normal person, the carefree smile on her cute face was dazzling. Whenever she smiled, she would always display eight bright teeth, which made her appear cheerful and lively.
He could not imagine what would happen to the straightforward Su Kui if she had to deal with the evil and vicious Feng Qingqing.
It would be better to kill her before she progressed, nipping her in the bud.
Feng Qingqing felt a chill rising from her soles right after she stood up. Her face immediately turned white when she glanced over. If she were not mistaken, she could see an intent to kill her in the prince-regent’s eyes!
