Chapter 1142 - 051 One life ends at the ninth watch.
Su Qiuyu didn’t waste any words, and bluntly said, "Do you pretend not to know why you’re here? Hmph, it’s truly unexpected— you actually persuaded Brother Zheng to bring you to the Capital city. You really have some skills; I certainly underestimated you before!"
Because of her profound hatred for Lin Yuan, Su Qiuyu’s tone changed as she spoke. Now that only their servants and the Lin Yuan sisters were in the room, she didn’t bother to feign weakness, revealing her true nature.
Seeing this undisguised contempt and hostility, Lin Yuan didn’t care at all and casually shrugged, "Ah, there was no other way. Xia Zheng begged me for a long time, insisting desperately that I come to the Capital city, or else he would death in front of me!"
Lying through her teeth was something Lin Yuan did easily, especially since she had long figured out Su Qiuyu’s weakness. As long as she talked about how good Xia Zheng was to her, she could easily defeat her!
Lin Yuan paused for a moment, and indeed, she saw Su Qiuyu’s face turn increasingly pale.
She chuckled with satisfaction and exaggerated further, "Not just Xia Zheng— even the princess sent me three letters, urging me to hurry to the Capital, saying that she couldn’t sleep at night thinking about me!"
"Shut up! Don’t say another word!" Su Qiuyu slapped the table so hard that the teacups on it rattled.
Not only was Xia Zheng Su Qiuyu’s weakness, but Princess Anle was also a thorn in her side. She would go to the Military Mansion every two or three days to chat with Princess Anle, but she had never said such things. Just meeting Lin Yuan once and she couldn’t bear to part—how could that not anger her?
