C39 Run away

Zhang Han's words were rude, and the people around Ruan Ping'er didn't know how to reply. Some of them even took a step back, not daring to stand in front of Ruan Ping'er anymore.

At the very least, they had heard Ruan Ping'er's worry for this cousin of hers more than once. In Ruan Ping'er's narration, everyone was moved by Ruan Ping'er's kindness, but it was true that they looked down on the proper Miss of Marquis Mansion.

Could it be as Zhang Han had said, that Ruan Ping'er was only stepping on Su Mingyue?

Everyone didn't know much about Su Xiao, this famous general, but everyone had heard that the one Marquis Su doted on the most wasn't the refined and skillful Hereditary Prince, Su Mingshu, but the only daughter, Su Mingyue. If Ruan Ping'er really schemed against Su Mingyue, then even the old lady from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion might not be able to protect her.

Ruan Ping'er's eyes were icy cold as she looked at the people who slowly retreated. So this was her so-called friend.

However, this was not the time to turn hostile. If Ruan Ping'er wanted to preserve her image, then she would not recognize a single word that Zhang Han had said.

"Sister Zhang, how can you think of Ping'er like that? Elder Sister Mingyue and I are cousins with direct relatives, how can we have such thoughts? I live in the Marquis Mansion, just to accompany grandmother, it definitely doesn't mean what Sister Zhang said."

"Elder Sister Mingyue." Ruan Ping'er turned her head, wanting to speak to Su Mingyue for her sake, but she was only left with Cui Yingtong and Lin Zhi. Su Mingyue was nowhere to be seen.

"Ruan Ping'er, it's enough for you to embarrass yourself, why must you drag Miss Su into this? Don't forget, your first cousin is Su Second Miss, not Miss Su." Zhang Han sneered. The so-called deep sisterly love in the past was just an act from Ruan Ping'er. Su Mingyue also seemed like a smart person, why would she confide in someone like Ruan Ping'er?

"I …" Ruan Ping'er didn't expect Su Mingyue to be so disrespectful as to directly run away. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain.

If it was Su Mingyue who was involved in the earlier incident, for the sake of the reputations of the Su Family and her two families, Su Mingyue would have to defend her. Her situation wasn't that difficult, and as for Su Minglan, Ruan Ping'er and her was just a matter of face, she had never put her in her eyes.

"I don't have any relationship with her, so it's only right for her to look down on me, a concubine." Su Minglan asked as she looked at her friend's questioning gaze.

Su Minglan's voice wasn't low, so everyone heard her and the atmosphere became even more awkward.

You live in someone's Su Family, and yet you look down on someone as a young lady with Su Family. Did he think that Jing'an Marquis Mansion was easy to bully?

"Ping'er really didn't mean that." Ruan Ping'er's voice was filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

Before the ladies here could react, the young master couldn't sit still any longer.

"Miss Zhang, Miss Ruan didn't mean it that way. She is just a weak girl in a girl's chamber. Where did she get such deep thoughts from?" When someone spoke up to defend Ruan Ping'er, everyone agreed.

Although Ruan Ping'er's Qu Ping, Luo Yan, was overshadowed by Su Mingyue, her performance after that was breathtaking. Moreover, she was extremely beautiful, so how could everyone bear to see a beauty cry?

"You really are a fox. You're born to be a man." Zhang Han blurted out. The people beside her quickly pulled her aside, signaling her to stop.

If this incident were to continue, even though Ruan Ping'er had been humiliated, how good would Zhang Han's reputation be?

Zhang Han snorted coldly, "Remember your status and don't do those things that make people laugh. Your pitiful appearance can't fool me. With your frivolous appearance, how could you enter Fourth Prince's eyes?"

With that, Zhang Han left with her men.
