Chapter 161: Counterattack

rprise evident."Your Majesty, I know what I'm saying is shocking, but if you still don't believe me, I have no words to defend myself. If you wish to kill or punish me, I submit to your will without r..."Imperial Noble Consort!" Just those two words were enough to hear the suppressed rage in Su Chengming's voice. In front of all the civil and military officials, Su Chengming couldn't say anything, otherwise he would only harm Su Qingying.

Seeing the warning in Su Chengming's eyes, Rong Defei's heart skipped a beat, her face paling with fright. She quickly lowered her head, afraid to meet his gaze, and even more so, hated Su Qingying in her heart.

It's all that wretch's fault! The Emperor is too partial to her!

Seeing Su Chengming not blaming Su Qingying but instead blaming her mother concubine, Su Mo Xue was so angry that her face turned red. She said angrily, "Father Emperor, what Mother Concubine said is right, it's Su Qingying..."

"Silence!" The outburst of fury, a manifestation of the emperor's wrath, sent shivers down everyone's spine. Su Qingying, however, felt a warmth bloom in her heart.

It seems like her emperor father really loves her.

"Father," Su Qingying said with a smile, "Why bother taking offense to the Second Imperial Sister Come to think of it, the Second Imperial Sister didn't mean to make things difficult for me. Although what she said makes sense, I don't agree."

Having inherited the original owner's memories, Su Qingying knew who hated her the most.

"What do you mean" Su Moxue glared at her.

“I wonder if the Second Elder Sister has ever heard this saying, ‘Law does not neglect personal feelings.’ Father is the Emperor, but he’s also my father. I’ve been away from him for over a month, and I miss him dearly. Now that I see him, I’m so excited that I forgot to bow. Isn’t that understandable” Saying this, Su Qingying playfully winked her eyes, intimately taking Su Chengming’s hand and rubbing it gently, looking charmingly alluring.

Everyone was taken aback by Su Qingying's actions, gasping in astonishment. Su Chengming was also startled, staring at her hand on his arm in disbelief, a mixture of surprise and flattered.

Isn't this girl always distant towards him How come she's changed her attitude now And she doesn't seem stupid anymore, she looks much more clever.

"Father, what's wrong" Su Qingying looked at him blankly, feeling a shiver run down her spine from his gaze.

After a long while, Su Chengming finally came to his senses. He patted Su Qingying's hand back with relief and said, "Good, good, good! You truly uphold the law without favoritism towards outsiders. Ying'er, let your father see, look, after more than a month apart, not only have you grown taller, but you've also become even prettier."

"That's right, don't you even look at who I am" Su Qingying raised her eyebrows, her beautiful face seemed to shimmer with divine light, and she pouted playfully, "Father praises Ying'er for being pretty, it's just a roundabout way of saying he himself is handsome. Father, you are so narcissistic."

"Hahaha... You, after days apart, when did your little mouth become so sweet To dare tease me like this." Su Chengming was taken aback. Her pouty and coquettish expression delighted him greatly, his eyes and brows crinkled with amusement.

At this, Su Qingying stuck out her tongue, making Su Chengming laugh again.

Su Ziyi watched them from the side, a handsome smile gracing his face. It had been a long time since his father had laughed so happily.

Some are happy, some are sad. The expressions on everyone's faces on the field are complex, it can be seen that the emperor truly favors the fifth princess. It seems that in the future, not only must we absolutely not offend the fifth princess, but also make friends with her.

In the palace, Su Mo Xue and others, who disagreed with Su Qingying, crumpled their handkerchiefs in their hands. Jealousy and hatred grew wildly in their hearts. At the same time, a doubt flashed in their minds, strangely, why wasn't this fool foolish anymore Why had she become so smart What was going on

Now that she has the emperor's favor, she absolutely cannot be allowed to continue living in this world. Otherwise, in time, there will be no place for them in Dongxuan! If she stands in their way, don't blame them for being impolite!

"Hee hee hee...the Fifth Princess is truly the emperor's pearl. I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry her in the future Oh, look at this palace's memory, the Fifth Princess is betrothed to King Xi Ming, isn't she A match made in heaven, they are truly a perfect pair." A stunning concubine in a golden gown laughed and spoke, looking at Su Qingying with love and gentleness. One wouldn't know that Su Qingying wasn't her daughter.

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ziyi's smile vanished, and he looked at Yan Fei with a deep, unreadable expression.

The scene fell silent instantly, all eyes were on Su Qingying. Su Moxue and the others secretly rejoiced, a hint of mockery at the corners of their mouths. Who didn't know that Ximing Ruiwang loathed this fool How could he possibly marry her

To everyone's surprise, Su Qingying didn't display the expected embarrassment. Instead, with a calm tone, she uttered something that shocked everyone, "I'm breaking off the engagement."

What The engagement is broken off!

The beauty blinked her eyes wide, covering her mouth apologetically and saying, "Ying'er, I'm sorry. This palace didn't know... you shouldn't take it to heart."

Su Qingying's eyes narrowed slightly as she glanced at the glamorous concubine, secretly thinking, "Is this concubine truly clueless Why does she feel like a formidable figure"

"Fifth Sister, what good reason could there be for your betrothal to be broken Oh dear, how dreadful! What will become of you now after being jilted How can you ever find another husband" A voice, sharp and venomous, cut through the air. Princess Su Mo'yun, the fourth princess, feigned sympathy, her face a mask of concern, yet her eyes betrayed an undeniable glee beneath the surface.

Su Mo Xue also agreed: "That's right, a princess of our country being jilted! This isn't bringing shame to the Dong Yue Nation If I were her, I would have committed suicide on the spot and spared myself the humiliation of returning."

Third Prince Su Qi also spoke up, “Ying’er, don’t be sad. The betrothal to Xuan Yuan Che was also forced back then. Now that it's broken off, it's broken off. We have many handsome and talented men in Dong Yue, if you like someone, just let your father arrange a marriage for you.”

After finishing, Su Qi still looked at Su Qingying with a loving gaze, as if he truly cared for her to the bone and felt wronged for her. However, what he said turned Su Chengming and Su Ziyue's faces black.

What does it mean that the betrothal with Xuanyuan Che was forced Is this insinuating that Ying'er is stubbornly insisting on marrying Xuanyuan Che Besides, what does it mean to marry someone off directly by taking a liking to them Once this gets out, how will Ying'er ever hold her head high again

Su Qingying crossed her arms and looked at these clowns with an air of composure, "Second elder sister, Fourth elder sister, Third brother, are you too old to hear what I said, or is there too much earwax blocking your ears I said I broke off my engagement with Xuanyuan Che, not the other way around. Do you understand If you're intellectually challenged, don't come out here and embarrass yourselves."

"……Su Chengming was surprised. When had his Ying'er become so sharp-tongued"

"…" Su Ziyi calmed down, hum, let you see Ying'er's combat power!

"Su Qingying, you dare to insult me!" Su Mo Xue had the worst temper. As soon as Su Qingying said this, she was furious, her eyes almost spitting fire. "Hmph, saying that you yourself withdrew your engagement with Xuan Yuan Che Everyone knows your character! You are twisting the truth, shameless!"

Su Mo Xue was driven mad by Su Qing Ying, otherwise, under the face of Su Cheng Ming, she wouldn't even dare to say a word!

Nonsense!

Su Chengming was about to retort when he turned his head to see Su Qingying smiling calmly. "Second Imperial Sister, what are you saying It seems like you're hoping for Yinger to be disengaged." She continued, "As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage. If Xuan Yuan Che already has someone he likes, if Yinger still insists on marrying him, wouldn't that shame the Dongyue family even more"r neck, leaving behind one after another ambiguous marks that belonged only to Jun Liye on her snow-white skin."Ying'er, relax, don't be afraid, I've got you." Jun Liye leaned down slightly, his warm...
