For the first two years, she had lived quite well: she had her looks, her family background, parents who doted on her, playmates who could accompany her in all kinds of games at any time, and even, when she had secretly sneaked out to play, all those handsome men she had met. There were even several Princes who, despite being high above her, treated her like a treasure and pampered her.
Everything had been so wonderful until, beyond the frontier, she had suffered her first setback at the hands of her so-called elder sister, and then suffered setback after setback at her hands.
Su Yuxin was confused.
Why had things turned out like this?
She could not understand it. She only knew that Su Qiao was the culprit behind everything—that she had viciously killed Xiao Ling over nothing more than a set of clothes and had even caused her to be scolded by her parents.
Xi Hanzhou looked down at the mother and daughter, whose faces had gone pale with fright, his eyes brimming with murderous intent. He snorted coldly. "Even if the entire Su Prime Minister's Estate were confiscated and everyone in it exterminated, with me here, no one would dare lay a finger on her."
When Prime Minister Su heard "confiscated and everyone exterminated," his expression changed, and he hurriedly knelt to plead guilty.
"Please calm down, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince. My daughter deserves ten thousand deaths, but I beg Your Royal Highness to spare her life for Xiao Qiao's sake. I will send her to Guanyin Temple at once to reflect on her mistakes. She will not be allowed to return before she marries."
"Hmph." Xi Hanzhou swept Su Qiao with a gaze as sharp as a blade, carrying the same hint of murderous intent.
