After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

But Zhou Rushuang didn't understand everything. She knew that Su Qingcheng was right.

She was just too well protected by the Zhou family and couldn't react at the moment.

Thinking about it now, if he rashly sits in Su Ruoxi's position, it might make people suspect that the Zhou family has evil intentions and bullies the Su family's concubines in order to humiliate the Su family.

The Zhou family has been working hard for many years and has finally maintained a certain influence in the Nanye literary world.

And now, seeing that she is about to marry into the Xie family, she may soon become the distinguished young lady of the Xie family...

It was definitely better to do less than to do more. She couldn't change this position.

Zhou Rushuang did not look directly at Su Qingcheng, but glanced at her with a hint of contempt in his eyes. He turned to look at Su Ruoxi beside him and said with some embarrassment: "Second Miss of the Su family, I'm sorry, I can't change this position. You go find someone else.”

Su Ruoxi resented Su Qingcheng in her heart.

If it weren't for her, Zhou Rushuang would have agreed to change places at this time. The birthday banquet was about to begin, and she was about to seize the opportunity to leave and go back to her room, quietly taking out the secret book.

Seeing that the plan failed, Su Ruoxi didn't want to stay here any longer, and her teeth itched with hatred when she saw Su Qingcheng.

"In this case, if Miss Zhou has a good meal and drink, I will leave first."

After saying that, she turned and left, her tone cold and impetuous, and her attitude towards Zhou Rushuang was completely different from before.

Zhou Rushuang didn't notice. She sat down directly on her seat as if she didn't see Su Qingcheng in front of her.

She stared straight ahead and sat obediently waiting for the maid to bring the pre-dinner fruit.

Su Qingcheng didn't care either.

She didn't care what Zhou Rushuang's attitude was towards her, as long as she didn't let Su Ruoxi succeed, she didn't care what her attitude was.

Su Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and prepared to walk back to her seat, but Lu Xuerou, who had been following her, couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious why Zhou Rushuang treats you like this?"

Su Qingcheng looked at her and seemed to know something inside.

She asked: "Why?"

Lu Xuerou said with a gossipy face: "I heard that the Holy One intends to marry Xie Songjin of the Xie family and Zhou Rushuang, the young lady of the Zhou family."

Su Qingcheng felt calm in her heart: "Given the Zhou family's status, marrying the Xie family would be a high achievement."

"So, that young lady from the Zhou family treated Xie Songjin like a treasure and sent people everywhere to inquire about him. No, I found out that he and you had a finger-to-bone marriage when you were young. That's why he regarded you as a imaginary enemy."

Lu Xuerou told Su Qingcheng all the gossip she heard about several people.

Su Qingcheng did not answer Lu Xuerou.

She remembered Zhou Rushuang's malicious eyes just now, so that was it.

It doesn't matter, Su Qingcheng has always looked down upon such low-level jealous behavior.

She just remembered her past life, and it seemed like this was indeed the case.

The marriage between the Xie family and the Zhou family, both literary and military, not only helped the Xie family maintain their status in a big dye vat like Nanye, but also helped the Zhou family's position in Nanye's literary world to a higher level.

So much so that Fu Xingzhou later wanted to win over the two families.

No wonder, at that time, Su Qingcheng hadn't figured out why Su Ruoxi suddenly had a good relationship with Zhou Rushuang, the young lady of the Xie family in that video.

Fu Xingzhou used some tricks to bring the Xie and Zhou families into his pocket, and both families became his right-hand assistants when he seized the throne.

Su Ruoxi, who returned to her seat, threw her chopsticks angrily.

Liu Rumei on the side stopped her in a low voice in time: "What are you doing! So many people are watching."

"Mom, it's all the fault of that bitch Su Qingcheng. Her ghost is still there. If I didn't..." She realized that she had said too much and promptly changed her words: "In short, she is always against me."

"What do you want to do?" Liu Rumei is her biological mother after all, and she knew her daughter was hiding something from her as soon as she heard it.

"I just...want to go back to my room and change my clothes. There are so many nobles here, maybe I can become a princess."

Liu Rumei looked her up and down. Based on her own taste, Su Ruoxi's outfit was indeed too plain.

At this moment, Su Qingcheng also returned to her seat. She stared at Su Ruoxi unabashedly, as if to say: Let me see what trouble you can make.

Su Ruoxi was so angry that she stood up and tried to walk around Su Qingcheng to the room.

"Where are you going, sister? The dishes are almost ready." Su Qingcheng said calmly.

By coincidence, Su Qingcang heard these words. He looked at Su Ruoxi who was about to leave the banquet: "Where are you going?"

"Dad, my daughter is here in Kuishui..." Su Ruoxi lowered her head and blushed, and then her voice became quieter and quieter. Except for Liu Rumei who was closest to her, she immediately understood the meaning of Su Ruoxi's words.

"Master, your dress is stained. Go back to your room and change it." Liu Rumei hurriedly snatched the conversation away.

"Go."

After receiving Su Qingcang's permission, Su Ruoxi immediately stood up, glanced at Su Qingcheng in a show-off manner, and trotted towards her room.

Su Qingcheng didn't care. She looked at Fu Xingzhou's empty seat intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned to look at the food for Lu Xuerou beside her.

Su Ruoxi finally got her wish. While everyone was eating, she returned to her room and took out the martial arts secret book.

Just as she stepped out of the door, a force pulled her back in.

Fu Xingzhou covered her mouth with one hand and controlled Su Ruoxi's hands with the other.

Su Ruoxi didn't dare to make any noise, and her voice came out from between her teeth: "My lord, you are too bold! This is the Su Mansion!"

"So what about Su Mansion? It's not like I haven't been here before." Fu Xingzhou didn't care and locked the door from the inside with his backhand.

No matter how much Su Ruoxi fiddled with it, she couldn't open it.

Seeing Fu Xingzhou's serious face, she gave up her resistance and asked, "Did the prince say anything to the thirteenth prince?"

Fu Xingzhou was quite unhappy with her tone and pushed her against the wall step by step: "So what?"

Su Ruoxi was about to get angry, but then she immediately changed her face and hugged Fu Xingzhou's neck pitifully: "I only approached him because of His Highness."

"You are really a liar. Didn't we make it very clear at the hunting ground?"

Fu Xingzhou had seen through Su Ruoxi's plan, but he didn't rush to push him away.

"I will not let you take this martial arts secret book back. I just want to let Su Qingcang know what it feels like to have a thief in the house."

Su Ruoxi gritted her teeth and said bluntly: "The worst case is that the fish will die and the net will be broken. If dad really finds out, I will confess the prince and we will die together."

There was a hint of danger in Fu Xingzhou's eyes, and he suddenly grabbed her neck.

Su Ruoxi was extremely scared, but her face remained calm.

"You're going to die anyway, so why not put King Duan on your back?"
