Chapter 158 Who has time to bother with an annoying person like you?
As soon as Liu Ruxu said this, the scene fell silent.
Shen Muyue glared at Liu Ruxu secretly, her disgust for Liu Ruxu deepening.
Putting aside the fact that Liu Ruxu's words were overestimating her abilities, they had already left a bad impression on Murong Jing. It would be a pipe dream for him to rely on her to win favor in the future!
Furthermore, Shen Muyue held Liu Ruxu in utter contempt. In her eyes, Liu Ruxu was just someone from a small town, yet she dared to speak to His Highness Prince Qin so rudely. Even she, the daughter of the Prime Minister, had never dared to be so direct!
Su Mowan glanced at Murong Jing secretly.
Although Murong Jing didn't speak, his slightly furrowed brows and displeased eyes clearly revealed his dislike for Liu Ruxu.
So Su Mowan took it upon herself to say, "Madam Liu, that's not a very appropriate question. The Prince is very busy with many affairs of state. Who knows when he will have time? Instead of worrying about when the Prince will visit you, why not go out shopping with Consort Shen and cultivate your sisterly bond?"
Liu Ruxu's face turned pale and then red.
She thought she was pretty good-looking, and since he had spoken up, His Highness the Prince of Qin should at least say something to her. Who knew that she would give that bitch Su Mowan another chance to show off her power!
Seeing the way Su Mowan was looking at her, Liu Ruxu felt particularly resentful.
Just as she was about to say something more, Shen Muyue, who was standing next to her, seemed to notice and glared at her secretly before stopping her in time.
With a smile in her eyes, Shen Muyue said to the expressionless Murong Jing, "Your Highness, my two younger sisters have just entered the manor today and are not yet familiar with the rules. They may have unintentionally offended you, so please don't be angry."
"What's wrong with Your Highness?"
Su Mowan glanced at Shen Muyue with amusement.
She just didn't want Shen Muyue to be a good person.
So she said coolly, "Consort Shen is probably mistaken. The Prince is just too lazy to bother with it. Do you think the Prince is so idle as to get angry over such a small matter? However, Consort Shen is right. Newcomers do not know the rules. So when you go back today, you should teach Madam Liu the rules properly and stop her from saying such unruly things."
His Highness the King of Qin remained silent throughout, but a slight smile played on his lips.
Seeing this, Yinshuang secretly felt relieved.
Shen Muyue was quite angry at Su Mowan's words. Although it suited her perfectly that Liu Ruxu and Shen Murui lived in the East Courtyard, Su Mowan's words were clearly an accusation that she had set a bad example!
Su Mowan dared to make veiled accusations right in front of the prince!
Shen Muyue secretly made another note of it.
Seeing her elder sister clenching her fists in anger, Shen Murui quickly and quietly pulled her aside.
Just then, Murong Jing put down his teacup and said to Shen Muyue, "Now that you've met them, take them back."
Shen Muyue knew that leaving obediently at this time was the wise choice, so she gave a slight bow.
Although Liu Ruxu was unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity, it was clear that with Su Mowan around, she wouldn't get any advantage, so she curtsied and prepared to leave.
Just as the three of them were about to reach the door, Murong Jing suddenly said, "Wait."
Su Mowan raised an eyebrow.
Shen Muyue's face lit up with joy, and she quickly turned around.
"What else does your Majesty want?"
To everyone's surprise, Murong Jing didn't even glance at her. Instead, he said to Shen Murui, who looked timid, "You don't need to go back to the East Courtyard. Go to Fenghua Palace and wait. I have something to tell you later."
Shen Murui was surprised that His Highness the Prince of Qin would send her to Fenghua Palace alone.
She already knew from Shen Muyue that Fenghua Palace was where Prince Qin lived alone, and she was immediately at a loss.
Shen Muyue reacted quickly.
She immediately answered on behalf of her half-sister: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will have someone send my sister over right away!"
It has to be said that Shen Muyue was also jealous.
The half-sister, who had just entered the family, immediately gained the favor of His Highness the Prince of Qin, which made her, who had been there for two months, feel very unbalanced.
In terms of background and appearance, she believed she was far superior to her half-sister!
But the thought that it was her younger sister who had won the favor of His Highness the Prince of Qin made Shen Muyue feel a little better.
Su Mowan felt rather uncomfortable.
She glanced at Murong Jing, who had a serious expression, and then at Shen Murui's graceful back, narrowing her eyes.
Does Murong Jing like this kind of innocent, adorable girl?
Murong Jing, who was drinking tea, seemed to notice Su Mowan's gaze. He turned his head slightly to look at her, and then instructed Yinshuang, who was standing to the side, "Go and call Feng Yue in. Tell him that I am going back to Fenghua Palace."
Yinshuang glanced at Consort Su's expression and silently left.
Even if Qinghe was slow to notice, she could tell that Consort Su's expression was a little unnatural. Could it be that the prince had sent the newly arrived Madam Shen to Fenghua Palace, and Consort Su was jealous?
Su Mowan felt even more uncomfortable under Qinghe's gaze.
Fortunately, everyone had already left. She gave a dry laugh and said to the cold-faced Murong Jing, "Your Highness seems to really like Madam Shen, who just entered the house?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Jing cast a cold glance over.
That gaze made Su Mowan feel as if Murong Jing was looking at an idiot, and she was that idiot in Murong Jing's eyes.
"What business is it of yours who I like?"
"..."
Why are you being so arrogant? All you did was ask a question!
Su Mowan inwardly scoffed, but could only manage a dry laugh: "Of course it doesn't matter, as long as Your Highness is happy."
Just then, Feng Yue walked in.
Su Mowan stepped aside to make room for Feng Yue. When Feng Yue saw this, he felt that Consort Su's expression was indescribably strange. He dared not look any longer and could only silently push his master out of Huangfeng Garden.
After everyone had gone, Su Mowan leaned against the door and scoffed, muttering out of the blue, "Who has time to bother with an annoying person like you..."
Yinshuang happened to hear it.
She blinked and suddenly said, "Consort Su need not worry. Madam Shen is just going to Fenghua Palace. She poses no threat."
Su Mowan turned her head and glanced at Yinshuang.
"What am I worried about? Threats? Who can threaten me? I eat well and sleep well, where would I get the threat?"
Yinshuang said expressionlessly, "But the expression on your face is clearly not what you said."
Su Mowan quickly sniffed and grimaced.
"What expression did I have? Even if I did have an expression, it was because I was worried about Madam Shen who had just entered. She seemed a bit timid and was probably around my age. I wondered if she would be scared by Murong Jing's cold and aloof demeanor."
"Since Consort Su is so worried, why don't you go and take a look?"
Yinshuang offered her sincere advice.
"That won't be necessary."
Su Mowan seemingly casually shook the hem of her skirt.
"Since I'm already here, I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck. I can only go once, but can I watch every time? Besides, Shen Muyue isn't worried, so why should I worry about her?"
"What Consort Su says is true. So, what are we going to do next?"
As Yinshuang spoke, she secretly observed Consort Su's expression.
Then, a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, which she quickly and quietly concealed by lowering her head.
Su Mowan said she wasn't worried, but she felt inexplicably uneasy.
Don't know what's going on.
She was a little agitated, so she took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the painting studio. I've made an appointment with Shangguan Qingqi."
