Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"I heard that she is not ugly, but disfigured, with scars on her face."

"That's the same thing. You just can't show your face!"

Places with many women are like a battlefield, especially these idle noble ladies who love gossip and comparison.

Ever since the news that Jiang Chen had a fiancée spread, the entire aristocratic circle was in an uproar. Everyone wanted to see what was so different about the woman that made Young Master Huai Chen fall in love with her.

I originally thought she was a peerless beauty, but in the end, she was just a disfigured face, and she didn't even dare to show her true appearance to others.

Anyone picked up on the street is better than her. Why did Master Huaichen take a fancy to her?

Precisely because they felt that Jiang Xue was not worthy of Jiang Chen, these noble ladies were full of hostility towards her.

"Just looking at appearances is really superficial."

Yunyan stayed beside Jiang Xue, glaring at those sarcastic women with disdain on her face.

I heard that all the nobles in Huyin City were invited to the Crown Princess' birthday banquet, and Shangguan Xi could also attend.

Therefore, even though Yunyan's injury had not fully healed, she still insisted that Jiang Xue bring her along. Because her true appearance had been seen by Shangguan Xi, in order to avoid trouble, Jiang Xue specifically asked Si Ruochen to help her disguise herself.

Considering that Jiang Chen and Si Ruochen are both men, it might be inconvenient for Jiang Xue to be without a female companion, so Si Ruochen and Jiang Chen quickly agreed to let Jiang Xue bring Yunyan along.

However, Si Ruochen's disguise skills were not as advanced as Shen Yunsheng's, and this mask could only last for about an hour, so Jiang Xue repeatedly reminded Yunyan not to leave casually, so as not to be recognized and cause trouble.

"Don't bother with those stupid guys, let's go."

Patting Yunyan's hand, everyone entered the gate of the Prince's Mansion together.

"Beautiful lady, please come this way."

He showed the invitation to the old butler at the door. When he saw Jiang Xue's invitation, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The old butler bowed to Jiang Xue and pointed in a direction to lead her.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Chen found that the direction the old butler was pointing to was wrong, so he quickly called him: "Butler, the direction you are pointing to doesn't seem to be the place for the banquet."

"Master Huaichen, I guessed correctly. The Crown Princess has long wanted to meet Miss Si. Today, she wanted to have a private chat before the banquet begins, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed."

The old butler was very old and had seen a lot of situations. He expected that Jiang Chen would use the prince to pressure others, so he blocked his mouth in advance.

"Since the Crown Princess really wants to see me, Ruoxin is of course happy to go. I heard that the Crown Princess is gentle and generous, and is the most beautiful woman in Huyin City. I have long wanted to visit her. Don't worry, brother and all the gentlemen, it's just a meeting in advance. I don't think the Crown Princess will look at me coldly."

She spoke in just the right tone, letting everyone know that the Crown Princess wanted to see her, but without being too loud.

The old housekeeper glanced at her, said nothing, and led the way silently.

Not long after, Jiang Xue brought Yunyan to the door of the Crown Princess.

"My Lady Crown Princess, the people have arrived."

The old butler reported the news and left.

Jiang Xue and Yun Yan just stood there waiting for the Crown Princess's call.

After waiting for a while without any movement, Jiang Xue couldn't help but recall the scene when she was left outside the Beiling Fengming Palace by the Queen.

Just as she was wondering whether the Crown Princess was going to follow Queen Beiling's example and deliberately leave her alone, the door slowly opened.

A gorgeously dressed woman came out, her red dress made her look like a proud peony. The red makeup set off her stunning face, which was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her and full of dominance.

"Are you Si Ruoxin?"

The Crown Princess looked at the woman in the bamboo hat in front of her, and her upturned almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly.

Is this woman the one that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is giving gifts to with such fanfare?

The Crown Princess was quite unhappy with this woman.

Just because Shangguan Jin gave her a bunch of jewelry and fancy clothes worth a fortune last month! Those things were originally given to her by the Cao family because she is now the Crown Princess!

Moreover, those were gifts specially prepared for Cao Zhilan's birthday. However, she didn't even touch them, and Shangguan Jin gave all these things to that shameless woman.

Cao Zhilan was the eldest daughter of Beixi Prime Minister Cao An, and the Cao family was a big family in Beixi. She had loved Shangguan Jin sincerely since she was a child, and she loved him so much that she was almost crazy. As long as Shangguan Jin had a crush on someone, no matter if it was a man or a woman, as long as she could deal with them, she would never show mercy.

This time, Shangguan Jin blatantly gave Jiang Xue her birthday gift, which simply lit a fire in Cao Zhilan's heart! She would never forgive this woman.

"Hello, Princess."

Jiang Xue felt the hostility coming from her and was a little confused.

She seemed to have never seen the Crown Princess before, so why was she so hostile towards her?

"Give me a sigh!"

Suddenly there was a roar, and Jiang Xue frowned: "How did I offend the Crown Princess?"

"You country bumpkin, you actually dared to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give you something. You vixen, just like that dust, are lowly in your bones and don't know the rules. I told you to kneel down, and you dared to talk back? Come on, smash her mouth for me!"

An old woman with a fierce face came over, holding a board specially used for spanking.

Jiang Xue knew this thing, a little trick commonly used in the harem. It looked like a flat wooden board, but it was actually full of wood thorns. Once it hit the face, the thorns could scratch the face into a hornet's nest. The sawdust mixed in the wound, causing it to become inflamed and take ten days or half a month to heal.

It turned out that Shangguan Jin had intentionally put all those jewels and silks there.

He gave these to her in public just to stir up the Crown Princess' jealousy so that he could use her to kill him.

Jiang Xue's face became colder and colder. It was bad enough that this woman scolded her, but she even dared to insult her royal brother.

This touched her bottom line.

A prince and a princess want to touch her? Then she wants to see if they have the ability to do so.

She moved her fingers quickly under her sleeves and pressed lightly, causing a golden needle to pierce into the old woman's knee. She screamed in pain and fell down, with her face hitting the board in her hand, and her whole body was covered in blood.

"waste!"

The old woman screamed in pain, and the Crown Princess became annoyed and cursed at her and had her dragged away.

"This is the first time I met the Crown Princess, and you tortured me so harshly. If there is no legitimate reason, it will be hard for the Crown Prince's Mansion to explain if this gets out. Besides, I don't think His Royal Highness will be happy to hear you say that I am a lowly person or a lowly creature all the time."

Jiang Xue looked coldly at the Crown Princess who was shaking with anger, with a sneer on her lips. At this moment, a firework suddenly bloomed in the sky.

"Princess, the banquet is about to begin. Everyone knows that I am here with you. If we don't show up, are you planning to have everyone gather around us and explain to them everything that happened?"
