Chapter 11: The Disabled Young Lady (Part Eleven)

Chapter 11: The Crippled Young Miss (Part Eleven)

Su Kui snorted dismissively. “Go ahead and say whatever you want, do whatever you please. I’ll show you just how domineering I can be!”

“Let’s see in the end who will perish—the fake innocent or this expendable supporting female!”

Feng Qingqing stood there, stunned and dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected Feng Yanran to be so audacious, especially in front of Prince Regent Jun Mo; how could she be so recklessly arrogant?

Her heart brimmed with intense unwillingness. Her hands hung at her sides, clenched so tightly that her sharp nails dug painfully into her palms.

But she could do nothing. She had to suppress her anger and looked at Su Kui with a wronged, humble gaze. “Sister, how can you misunderstand me like this? I know you’ve never liked Qingqing, but I still regarded you as my legitimate elder sister and respected you.”

Ha—

What an act. Keep playing the part.

Su Kui yawned openly. Feng Qingqing clearly hadn’t yet developed the cunning she would possess in the future. With such behavior, she only made herself look worse, while allowing Jun Mo to see her true nature clearly.

“Nurse Gu, what time is it now? When will the palace gates open?”

Nurse Gu quickly glanced toward the palace gates upon hearing the question. Just then, the side door next to the main gate opened, and several stern-faced senior maids stepped out.

Her eyes brightened as she whispered to Su Kui, “Young Mistress, they’re opening now.”

Su Kui nodded lightly. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Feng Qingqing still kneeling on the ground, sobbing softly. A cruel smile curled on her lips. “Hey! Not done with your little performance yet? The palace gates are opening. If you’re eager to embarrass yourself, then keep kneeling all you want!”

Those words jolted Feng Qingqing awake. Suddenly, she recalled the advice Fourth Madam had given her before leaving.

“Never be the first to step forward. Remember, once you step outside the Grand Tutor’s mansion gates, you no longer represent just yourself, but the entire Grand Tutor’s household. If Feng Yanran makes things difficult for you, endure it quietly. No matter what, she will never be chosen. The royal family cannot afford to lose face. When you become the imperial consort in the future, you’ll have plenty of ways to deal with her. Keep this in mind!”

Fourth Madam’s words echoed endlessly in her mind, refusing to fade. A cold sweat broke out across Feng Qingqing’s body.

She couldn’t help but deeply regret it. What was the point of quarreling with a cripple? Didn’t she already know Feng Yanran was a reckless, fearless troublemaker? Taking her seriously only meant losing face!

Mother was right. Once she became the imperial consort, who would dare to show her any disrespect?

And then, they’d better not blame her for being ruthless.

“Sister, you’re right.”

Feng Qingqing rose from the ground. A flicker of cold light flashed in her eyes, vanishing almost as quickly as it had appeared.

Su Kui, who had been watching her quietly, was somewhat surprised. She wondered what had suddenly occurred to Feng Qingqing in such a short time.

Her entire aura had shifted—her thoughts more restrained, her demeanor increasingly calm and refined.

Jun Mo remained silent for a long time, quietly watching Su Kui.

Following her gaze, he naturally noticed the change in Feng Qingqing.

A murderous intent flickered in his phoenix-like eyes. This girl could not be allowed to remain. If she were allowed to grow, she would no doubt become Su Kui’s first adversary.

Though Su Kui could not run or walk like ordinary people, the carefree smile on her delicate face shone brilliantly. Often, with a single laugh, she would reveal eight dazzling white teeth, bright and playful.

It was almost unimaginable what fate would befall straightforward, candid Su Kui when matched against the scheming and labyrinthine Feng Qingqing.

It would be better to decisively end it—crush her in the cradle before she could grow, preventing trouble before it started.

Just as Feng Qingqing stood up, a chill arose from the soles of her feet. In a startled glance, her face turned pale. If she wasn’t mistaken, the killing intent in the Prince Regent’s eyes was naked and unyielding!
