After confirming that the killer in black was gone, Shen Ruoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

In the last life, Shen Ruoyan and Su Xihe were married to Lu Yan, and during the three years they lived together in the General's Mansion, the two had many conflicts, which made Shen Ruoyan very familiar with Su Xihe's temperament.

The purpose of hitting someone just now was to anger Su Xihe.

Shen Ruoyan expected that Su Xihe would make a big fuss if she was slapped inexplicably due to her arrogant and willful temperament.

Seeing two girls fighting, the man in black would hesitate for a moment, unsure whether the two had discovered his trace.

And what Shen Ruoyan needs is this moment. The Li Mansion is packed with guests today, and hearing Su Xihe's shout will definitely attract everyone's attention.

Especially the woman who loves to watch the excitement, when she hears someone quarreling, she runs faster than anyone else.

Everything was as expected by Shen Ruoyan, but the people gathered around seemed...too many!

In the circle of noble ladies in the capital, there is no one who is not kind and generous on the surface.

Immediately, I wanted to kill the other person, and I even pretended to be polite when they met. I had never seen a scene where they were fighting each other.

So when I heard that there was a fight, even the old lady who usually used crutches asked her maid to help her.

Su Xihe didn't expect to be surrounded by so many people. She lost all face and simply sat on the ground and cried.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Shen Ruoyan, how dare you hit me?"

Hearing her daughter's cry, Mrs. Su pushed aside the crowd and saw Su Xihe sitting on the ground with messy hair, crying so hard that the makeup on her face was stained, and she looked very embarrassed.

Mrs. Su was shocked and said: "Oh, my dear, what's wrong? Who could have done this to you?"

"That's her!" Su Xihe pointed her index finger at Shen Ruoyan, "Just now I saw her hiding here sneakily, so I kindly stepped forward and asked a few questions. I didn't expect that she slapped me twice for no reason, mother. Kiss you, you must help your daughter get justice!"

Seeing Su Xihe sitting on the ground crying miserably, Shen Ruoyan felt a little guilty and said sheepishly:

"Sorry, I was impulsive just now."

After Shen Ruoyan apologized, Mrs. Su walked up to her reluctantly and scolded loudly: "What? You hit someone, can it be solved with just one word? Shen Ruoyan, where is your Shen family tutor?" You are such a good lady, but you dare to hit my sweet little girl."

Mrs. Su was actually the daughter of Taifu Su. Because of her arrogant temper, no heir apparent from the famous families in the capital at that time dared to marry her. In the end, she had to recruit a student from a poor family to marry into the Taifu's house.

That man had no status in the Su family. After getting married, Mrs. Su became more and more arrogant and did whatever she said. No one ever dared to contradict her.

This time Shen Ruoyan beat her precious daughter. How could Mrs. Su let her go so easily?

Seeing the little girl standing there alone, being scolded loudly by Mrs. Su, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy in their eyes when looking at Shen Ruoyan. However, due to Mrs. Su's intimidation, no one dared to go up. Help Shen Ruoyan speak.

Mrs. Su continued to speak loudly: "How could your Shen family raise a person like you? Fortunately, your mother always said that you are knowledgeable and reasonable. I think it is just the old lady who sells melons and boasts about herself and blows her daughter up to the sky. Well, look, it’s so shameful to do such an unseemly thing now!”

Shen Ruoyan stood there, listening to Mrs. Su's scolding getting louder and louder, and felt a burning pain in her face as if she had been slapped.

Shen Ruoyan wanted to tell Su Xihe and her daughter loudly that he beat her to save her life.

However, she must not tell anyone about what she just saw someone assassinate an attendant of the Li family.

Today is Mr. Li’s birthday. If you say in public that someone in the Li family has died, wouldn’t this be intentional to bring bad luck to Mr. Li?

More importantly, Shen Ruoyan didn't know the origin of the man in black. If this matter involved a struggle in the court, then the person who instigated him was probably among the people watching. Shen Ruoyan could only pretend not to see anything. In order to protect yourself.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan lowering her head and not saying a word, Mrs. Su scolded her even more vigorously.

Su Xihe also got up from the ground and said with added jealousy:

"Mom, my face hurts so much. Please help me take a look. Is it swollen?"

When Mrs. Su took a look at her daughter's face, which was not very pretty, her cheeks were red and swollen, her forehead was high, and blood could be faintly seen, she became even more angry.

"Oh my, look at what evil you have done! Shen Ruoyan, you are so cruel, you beat my little darling like this! Who gave you the ability to beat someone! Don't you have the skills? Son-in-law, you have no mother-in-law to teach you, so how did your mother teach you?"

Shen Ruoyan was already impatient from being scolded by them, but when she heard Mrs. Su started to attack her mother, it stung her nerves even more.

Shen Ruoyan raised her head, looked at Mrs. Su without fear, and said, "Okay, stop arguing!"

Mrs. Su was startled by her sudden voice. She didn't react for a moment and was stunned for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Ruoyan continued: "I just slapped your daughter twice! The worst I can do is call you back. Don't say things that are good or bad, and criticize Huai. This matter is a little closer to my mother. It doesn’t matter, don’t involve others.”

Shen Ruoyan took a breath and continued:

"Mrs. Su, you said I was uneducated. As an elder, you didn't ask clearly why things happened. You blindly favored your daughter and insulted me in every possible way. Is this what you call education?"

Shen Ruoyan's voice was not loud, but every word was powerful.

After hearing Shen Ruoyan's words, Mrs. Su's face turned red and white for a while. She had never been contradicted by others in person, let alone a little girl.

With so many people watching around her, it was hard for her to get off the stage.

Madam Su became angry and raised her voice a few more degrees, shouting loudly:

"Bold, is this how you talk to your elders? Let me teach you what the rules are today!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand high and waved it down towards Shen Ruoyan's face.

Shen Ruoyan did not hide, and stood there with her back straight, thinking that if she received Mrs. Su's slap, this matter would be over.

Just as Mrs. Su was about to wave her hand down, a powerful voice came from the crowd:

"stop!"

There was a hint of anger in the cold voice.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man in white clothes coming with eager steps.

Shen Ruoyan never expected that the person she saw would be Lu Yan.

The first one to come to support him was Lu Yan!
