Chapter 2164: Not Easy to Bully This County Princess


It took a while before Wu Ling regained her senses, looking at the person in front of her in disbelief and screaming, "What are you doing?!"

Shu Yu placed the tea cup down heavily and her gaze turned icy. "I'm washing your mouth. How can there be someone as gossip-prone as you in this world?"

She knew that others were watching, and she didn't bother lowering her voice, saying, "You wanted to see a joke, didn't you? Well, it turns out you are the joke. I at least understand the most basic moral values, but you? You gossip behind people's backs, sow discord, and can't stand to see others doing well, right?"

"I..."

"What's wrong with me? I know what kind of person Cen Yi is, and I understand better than you do. She's been married for several years now, and she's living a good life. Yet, you insist on making up baseless stories to tarnish her reputation. What's the benefit for you in doing that? Do you have your eyes on Cen Yi's husband, so you're going to such lengths to defame her?"

Wu Ling widened her eyes, then stood up abruptly, her face turning red. "I don't, how could I be interested in her husband?"

"If it's not Cen Yi's husband, then maybe it's my fiancé you have your eyes on? Otherwise, why would you try to sow discord between us, hoping that I would cancel the engagement, so you can take advantage of the situation?"

Shu Yu remained seated in her place but her words were sharp and precise.

Wu Ling was furious and her face turned crimson. "I don't, I haven't even met Young Master Meng. How could I be interested in him?"

"If it's not him either, then why are you saying all these things here? Oh, does spreading these rumors excite you?"

"No, no, I haven't."

Shu Yu liked to keep control of the conversation, "Not that either? Since it's neither about wanting Minister Zhou or my fiancé, and it's not about spreading rumors to get excited, there's only one possibility left. You're just foolish and malicious, seeing that Cen Yi's maternal family isn't as glorious as before, and you see me as just a county princess from Dong'an Prefecture, with no backing or support, so you think I'm an easy target to bully, right?"

As she said this, she slightly turned her head and smiled, looking at the other people in the flower hall.

The other girls felt a shiver down their spines. Some with keen perception even had their mouths twitch slightly. What the county princess meant was that anyone who gossiped about Cen Yi and Meng Yunzheng was either interested in those two men or enjoyed spreading rumors. If not, they were foolish and malicious.

This county princess from Dong'an Prefecture... was not someone easy to bully, was she?

As Shu Yu finished speaking, Wu Ling was already fuming, and she had originally wanted to argue about the tea that Shu Yu had splashed on her. Now, she had become the laughingstock of everyone present. Seeing that others were pointing fingers and whispering about her, she couldn't take it anymore and turned to run.

The girl beside her forced a dry smile, nodded at Shu Yu, and quickly followed after her.

Shu Yu watched them leave like this, and only after they had completely disappeared did she stand up and smile at the other people in the flower hall, saying, "I apologize for the disturbance. I am County Princess of Wen'an, and I came here from Dong'an Prefecture some time ago. I have purchased this shop, and it will be renovated tomorrow. It will reopen in some time, and I welcome all of you to visit."

The people immediately responded politely, "Certainly, certainly."

They didn't say much to Shu Yu and merely made polite remarks. Whether they would actually come when the shop reopened remained uncertain.

However, after this incident, they would definitely inquire about Shu Yu's background when they went back. Learning about it could also be good publicity for their shop.
