So you’ve finally shown your true colors,” Su Qingyue coldly snorted.

“Since, in your heart, I’m just a rural village woman, how could you, the dignified Lady of the Xiao Family, deign to feign civility with me for so long?

You must have your eye on my medical skills.

Or perhaps…”

She brushed the loose strands of hair in front of her chest and said playfully, “you also find my appearance attractive?

Of course, the Lady of the Xiao Family could never have such an improper affection for women.

Are you trying to use me to eliminate some rivals?

Let me guess, does the Xiao Family have such a big appetite?

So big that you wish to swallow Pear Blossom Villa with my help?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun’s face drained of color.

“Looking at your disgusting old granny face, I’m not surprised at all,” Su Qingyue sighed.

“Such a big appetite, but do you have the stomach for it, or are you not afraid of overstuffing yourself to death by accident?”

“You!” Shen Yun pointed at her.

“People say that Shen Yun, the lady of the Xiao Clan, is graceful and majestic, with a demeanor that is appropriate in advance and retreat.

Yet with just a few words, you turned into a jumping clown, pointing your finger at me…” Su Qingyue leisurely sipped her tea, “How come you end up acting like a rural village woman who can’t show her face in public?”

Shen Yun was so furious she was practically steaming, but Su Qingyue across from her remained gracefully unruffled.

She suddenly realized she had underestimated Su Qingyue!

Composing herself, and true to being the Lady of the Xiao Clan, she regained her calm in a moment, “Yue’er, just now, I, as your Grandma, was in the wrong.”

“Stop flattering yourself.

I never acknowledged you as my Grandma,” Su Qingyue sized her up and down, “You think you could use me?

And that old coot Xiao Chonghuan.

Let me tell you the truth, if it weren’t for Xiao Yuchuan’s face, I could have disabled you two old things any time I wanted!”

“Insolence!” Minxiang, the maid standing behind Shen Yun, shouted sternly.

“Lowly maid, do you think you’re worthy of calling me insolent?” Su Qingyue swept her wide sleeve, and a palm thrust, powered by her inner strength, sent Minxiang flying.

Minxiang’s body flew in a parabola and crashed into the door of the side room, vomiting blood and breathing her last.

Shen Yun was horrified, “Su Qingyue, how dare you kill my person!”

“Not just your person, if you provoke me, I’ll kill you too!” Su Qingyue’s presence was overwhelming, causing Shen Yun, who was usually accustomed to big scenes, to tremble in fear.

She finally managed to calm down, “Yue’er, today I will speak plainly.

Chuan’er is engaged to Miss Gongsun Qianru.

Nowadays, power is almost equally divided between One Manor and Two Great Families.

Apart from the Xiao Family, the other is the Gongsun Family.

Miss Gongsun’s status is noble, and she will always look down upon you in terms of status.

Now that power is almost split between One Manor and Two Aristocratic Families, even the court is virtually powerless.

You say you could kill me and kill your Dad.

If the Xiao Family really wanted to deal with you, how could they have let you live until now?”

She looked at Su Qingyue disappointedly, “Yue’er, your Dad and I have never thought of using you for anything; in fact, we’ve always treated you as a daughter-in-law and cherished you.

They say time reveals a person’s heart.

Haven’t I been good to you this past month?

The Xiao Family is a noble and prestigious family; why would we need to use a woman like you?

You think too lowly of the Xiao Family.”

Su Qingyue retorted, “When I said you wanted to use me, was your pale facial expression fake?”

Shen Yun was cunning and sly, “I was so shocked, I couldn’t believe you would have such a twisted idea.”
