“You dare hit me…”
Xue Jinyan was stunned for a moment. In all her life, no one had ever hit her, and no one had ever dared to disrespect her.
“You are of lower rank, yet you address your superior by their name, showing no respect for hierarchy. So what if I, a Jieyu, hit you?”
Ning Wanyin coldly looked at Xue Jinyan: “Xue, Gui, Ren.”
Xue Jinyan reacted, covering her face and glaring hatefully at Ning Wanyin. She felt so humiliated that she wanted to kill Ning Wanyin on the spot.
“Xue Guiren is the Empress Dowager’s niece. How dare you disregard the Empress Dowager’s dignity…” A concubine from Xue’s faction looked angrily at Ning Wanyin.
Ning Wanyin calmly replied, “Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is a paragon of virtue and nobility; how could she tolerate such a person who disregards hierarchy?”
“That’s right. Xue Guiren is ignorant of etiquette. What’s wrong with Ning Jieyu teaching her manners?” Cen Jieyu suddenly interjected, looking at Xue Jinyan with a half-smile.
Xue Jinyan gave Cen Jieyu a cold glance, then glared fiercely at Ning Wanyin. She was only acting out of anger, not ignorant of palace etiquette. She barely managed to suppress her anger and bowed to Ning Wanyin.
“Thank you for your guidance, Ning Jieyu. This concubine will take her leave now.”
Her demeanor was impeccable, but her words were spoken through gritted teeth; everyone could hear the deep hatred within them.
Xue Jinyan stormed off.
The concubines under the Xue faction exchanged glances and quickly followed her.
Seeing this, Wei Yingya couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Ning Jieyu really knew how to offend people.
She won’t survive three chapters. Definitely not three chapters!
The other concubines left with varying expressions.
Cen Jieyu looked at Ning Wanyin with a smile: “Ning Jieyu, you have truly impressed me today.”
Whether it was the final counterattack or daring to slap Xue Jinyan…
The former showed wisdom, while the latter had the courage to fight the Xue family to the death.
Finding either one is difficult, and having both is extremely rare, one in ten thousand.
“Would Ning Jieyu do me the honor of coming to my palace for a cup of tea?” Cen Jieyu looked at Ning Wanyin, her smile radiant.
“It’s getting late, so I won’t disturb you any longer.” Ning Wanyin politely declined.
Cen Jieyu raised an eyebrow slightly: “You’ve already thoroughly offended the Xue family. With Xue Jinyan’s temperament, she won’t rest until she’s completely destroyed you. Without my help, how long do you think you can survive?”
With your help, the Emperor could kill me right now.
“That’s my own business, no need for outsiders to worry about it.” Ning Wanyin said, drawing a clear line.
Cen Jieyu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
What an ungrateful wretch!
…
Ning Wanyin and her group returned to Lingxue Pavilion.
Xiao Guizi’s legs were weak. Several times during the day’s events, he thought that his master was doomed…
“Master, you… Why did you hit Xue Guiren? She will definitely not let you off the hook…” Xiao Guizi weakly reminded her.
Ning Wanyin said calmly, “She wanted to kill me, so what if I hit her?”
Xiao Guizi suddenly realized. Indeed, the two sides had just engaged in a fierce battle; whether they fought again or not, it was clearly a matter of life and death…
Too terrifying. Perhaps he should find another job?
Back in her bedchamber, Ning Wanyin dismissed everyone, leaving only Lian Rui to attend to her bath.
“Master, today was truly a close call. Fortunately, you had a backup plan.” Lian Rui was still shaken.
