Chapter 167 - 75: Stunning the Entire Venue (Part 3)

Looking at her expression, Mo Zhaozhao was slightly taken aback. After regaining her composure, she looked at her with confusion.

"Ah Yao, you’ve been acting strangely lately. I’ve noticed you seem to be quite afraid of her all of a sudden. Why? Is she really that scary? Why do you act like this every time you see her?"

"Alas, Princess, you don’t understand~"

Yun Wanyao shook her head, with many things to say but unable to reveal them, feeling very stifled.

After all, she’s the heroine of this world.

As little sister would say, she’s the woman of destiny, and, coming from the Outer World, she knows many things about this world, just as impressive as little sister. More importantly, she is the destined nemesis of their Yun Family. How could she not be afraid?

"Then tell me, if you explain it to me, won’t I understand?"

Mo Zhaozhao, interested, lowered her voice and prompted as she held her hand.

Yun Wanyao: "..."

Can’t say, can’t say, absolutely can’t say!!!

On the bridge.

Taking in all the reactions of the people present, a flash of coldness passed through Su Qianxue’s beautiful eyes, and she sneered inwardly with disdain.

This effect was not at all less impressive than she had expected.

With just a slight move, she dazzled those who used to despise, scorn, and look down on her. Today, she was determined to completely shake off the label of fool and idiot and change everyone’s impression of her.

The winter banquet was truly a golden opportunity given by the heavens, and she was determined to seize it.

In the future, when people mentioned her, they must only do so with admiration, praise, obsession, and passion.

She straightened her back, raised her chin, and slowly walked to the center, finding a seat to sit down quietly. Despite keeping her eyes forward, she still sensed countless heated and envious gazes upon her.

Ha!!!

Su Qianxue felt even better, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile hung on her lips.

A moment later, she turned her head, looking at Mo Zhaozhao with an inscrutable smile.

Last time at Duke Ning Mansion, her plan had inexplicably failed, and for some reason, this foolish Princess had avoided disaster, even dragging her into trouble. But it didn’t matter, this time, she would reclaim everything.

It’s said that the leading lady is the cousin of that unruly Princess, and the unruly Princess cares a lot about this cousin.

Very well, this time, she’ll just have to sacrifice this leading lady first.

"Ah Yao, did you see it? That damn woman is provoking me. You’d better talk me down, or I might just go over and slap her."

If it had been in the past, Mo Zhaozhao definitely wouldn’t have taken this. If someone dared provoke her, she wouldn’t hesitate to get up and teach them a lesson.

But now, after the Duke Ning Mansion incident, the assassination last time, and Yun Wanyao’s repeated warnings, she didn’t dare act so impulsively.

This woman must have something sinister about her, otherwise, she wouldn’t have anticipated her schemes during the full-month banquet for little sister at Duke Ning’s and set her up.

Moreover, Ah Yao wouldn’t have warned her so earnestly over and over not to provoke this woman.

"Good Princess, just don’t look at her, look at me instead."

Hearing Mo Zhaozhao’s words, Yun Wanyao panicked immediately, quickly grabbing her shoulders to turn her halfway around.

The situation today was already complicated enough, the Princess must not make matters worse.

"You should think carefully, she’s provoking you deliberately, having just captured everyone’s attention and stolen the spotlight. You don’t know how many noble sons are infatuated with her beauty."

"If you go and confront her now, wouldn’t that just trigger everyone’s discontent?"

"By then, everyone would accuse you of being arrogant and abusing your power to bully noble ladies. They might even complain to the Emperor, and if that happens, her purpose will be fulfilled."

What’s more important is, this is the woman of destiny, even if the Princess goes to teach her a lesson, it might not succeed and could very likely backfire on her, causing her to suffer.

Mo Zhaozhao: "..."

"I think Ah Yao makes sense, I will endure!!!"

Seeing Mo Zhaozhao taking no action but enduring it, Su Qianxue shifted her gaze away without interest, curled her lips disdainfully.

Tch, this Princess isn’t very bold, backing down so easily, how boring.

[Oh, why haven’t the Sacrificial Officer and the others arrived yet? Oh, by the way, the male protagonist hasn’t arrived either.]

[The book says the Emperor and the male protagonist will be coming today.]

[Besides that, the Imperial City Guard leader General Lin and Gu Heng will also be there, and these two are very devoted suitors of the heroine.]

[...]

Yun Wanye: "..."

The Emperor is coming too?

Since when has the Emperor been so idle, to attend such a banquet?

Could it be that the Emperor’s health has improved, and thus he’s interested in taking a concubine, wanting to privately look at these unmarried noble ladies?
