Shengjing Noble

Chapter 503 Conflict escalates

into the night.

Shen Ruchu waited for a long time but Fu Wuyang didn't come to her room. She couldn't sit still any longer, so she had to ask someone to make a bowl of nourishing soup and deliver it to her door personally.

Outside the study door.

Just as Shen Ruchu was about to go in, he was stopped by Xiao Han.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

"It's getting late. I'm worried about the prince's health, so I made some soothing soup to come and see him."

"Princess, the prince is handling important military affairs and cannot be disturbed by anyone for the time being. Please go back to the main courtyard to rest. As for the soup, I will convey it to you."

As he spoke, he snatched the food box from Shen Ruchu's hand, turned around quickly, went into the house and closed the door.

"Eh……"

Shen Ruchu was refused entry. Looking at the door in front of him, he was so angry that he wanted to punch it, but when his hand was about to fall, he held back.

She took a deep breath and said to herself: A lack of patience will ruin a great plan. Ayang is busy, and if I disturb him at this time, he will definitely be upset.

Thinking of this, she turned and left, but stopped at the gate and looked back.

If Su Lanyin disturbed him at this time, she would definitely be turned away, right?

When the conflict between the two escalates, wouldn't it be perfect for me to take advantage of the situation?

Thinking of this, she smiled smugly and headed straight towards Qiurong Pavilion.

……

Qiurong Pavilion.

Su Lanyin was leaning back in the bathtub, enjoying the ease and comfort of the moment.

There is nothing more relaxing than taking a hot bath at night after a tiring day.

She splashed water and said with a smile, "Cuizhu, do you want to come down and wash with me?"

Cuizhu shyly shook her head: "I don't want it!"

Su Lanyin smiled evilly: "Why, are you shy, little girl? It's not like we haven't showered together before, what are you afraid of?"

"That was when I was a kid, can it be the same now?"

"Why is it different? They are all women, what are they afraid of?"

"Oh, you are married but still so frivolous, be careful or I will ignore you."

Cuizhu pretended to be angry and turned her face away, deliberately not looking at her.

Su Lanyin lay by the pool and said with a smile: "What? Are you angry? Are you really angry?"

She reached out and poked Cuizhu, and the little girl turned around and glared at her.

"I'm not that stingy!"

"is it?"

There was a gleam of evil in Su Lanyin's eyes, and she suddenly raised her hand and splashed a handful of water at the green bamboo.

"what!"

Water splashed everywhere, soaking Cuizhu's clothes. She stood up and took a few steps back, looking at her wet body and stamped her feet in anger.

"Girl, you are so mean! I am so angry!"

Cuizhu was not someone to be trifled with. She didn't care that she was still wearing clothes and jumped directly into the water and started splashing water on Su Lanyin.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter of the master and servant came from the bathroom, full of joy.

Shen Ruchu, who walked into the yard, heard the noise and looked at Nanny Wang beside her with a puzzled look.

"What's going on? What's the noise in the middle of the night?"

Nanny Wang frowned: "Laughing so loudly, how can this be allowed? Princess, you must discipline him properly!"

"That's natural!"

After saying that, Shen Ruchu walked over and pushed open the door of the bathroom.

Behind the screen, the master and servant were having a great time. They didn't hear or think anyone would come in. They were still laughing and splashing water on each other.

Cuizhu couldn't pour the water over, so she turned around and found a wooden basin next to her. She picked it up, filled it with water, and poured it over.

Su Lanyin moved quickly, squatting down and dodged, while Shen Ruchu and Nanny Wang, who happened to be walking here, were splashed directly.

The two were inexplicably hit in the face by water and were stunned on the spot. They were soaked from head to toe and looked like two drowned rats.

When Cuizhu saw the two of them standing there, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and finally she felt like crying but had no tears.

Su Lanyin was still immersed in the fun of splashing water, sitting in the pool and sticking out her tongue at the green bamboo.

"How's it going? Didn't splash on me? Hahaha..."

"Girl...you...behind you..."

"Behind what?"

Su Lanyin was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw two wet people standing there, and was immediately frightened.

"Uh..." After she saw it clearly, she steadied herself and breathed a sigh of relief, "Princess? Why are you here? And you're splashed with water?"

Shen Ruchu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and Nanny Wang was even more furious.

"You...what on earth are you doing!?"

A roar came from the bathroom. Su Lanyin quickly covered her ears and stepped back. Cuizhu also quickly climbed out of the pool, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"I didn't mean to splash the princess, please forgive me..."

Shen Ruchu was furious. She looked down at the water on her body and shouted, "Bitch, you dare to splash water on me, the princess? I will never forgive you. Nanny Wang, drag her out and slap her in the face!"

"Yes!"

Nanny Wang went over to grab Cuizhu angrily. Su Lanyin wanted to stop her, but because she was not wearing any clothes, she had to wrap herself in a bathrobe and put on her clothes behind the screen.

When she came out, Cuizhu had already been forcibly taken away by Shen Ruchu.

"This is bad! Cuizhu was wrong first. If I go directly to Shen Ruchu to ask for her, she will definitely not give it to me. I should go to Fu Wuyang instead."

Thinking of this, she didn't care that her body was still wet and her hair was still dripping with water, and ran straight to the study.

From the shadows not far away, two maids came out, one ran towards the main courtyard, and the other quietly followed Su Lanyin.

……

Main courtyard.

Shen Ruchu returned to the room and changed his clothes first. After he was done cleaning up, he immediately ordered someone to press Cuizhu to the ground.

"Hit me hard..."

"Wait!" Nanny Wang stepped forward to stop her and interrupted her order.

Shen Ruchu was furious and asked angrily, "Mammy, why are you stopping me? Let me beat this bitch to death!"

Nanny Wang whispered, "Princess, we don't know the prince's attitude yet. If we take action now, if the prince finds out, won't it ruin your gentle, gracious, and magnanimous image?"

"This..." She came back to her senses and quickly suppressed her anger, "What should I do then?"

Looking at the wet green bamboo kneeling on the ground, she felt hard to swallow the anger in her heart.

"You can't just let this damn girl go like this, right?"

Nanny Wang smiled coldly: "Who said that hitting someone requires slapping him in the face? There is a kind of punishment that, even if used, cannot be seen by outsiders."

"What is it?" Shen Ruchu was puzzled.

Nanny Wang turned around and walked to the shelf nearby, picked up the small embroidery box, and pulled out a needle from it.

"Just punish her with acupuncture. I guarantee the prince won't be able to see it."

Shen Ruchu smiled sinisterly and viciously when she heard this: "Madam, what you said makes sense. I will punish you myself!"

After saying that, she grabbed the silver needle and stabbed Cuizhu's arm several times.

"Ah...ah..."

Cuizhu screamed in agony and glared at her with hatred in her eyes.

Shen Ruchu's eyes turned red with anger, and he asked fiercely, "Why are you staring at me? Believe it or not, I will poke your eyes out!"

She took the needle and was about to stab Cuizhu's eyes, when a maid hurried in from outside the door.

"Princess, Su Lanyin really went to the study to ask the prince for help!"
