Everyone simultaneously thought that the whole scenario was extremely dramatic.

It took Mrs. Gu a long while to come around. Upon hearing Su Kui’s self-introduction, she broke out in a cold sweat.

It had been tough for her, an old woman who should be enjoying domestic bliss, to worry about Su Kui constantly.

They were now dealing with Jun Mo! The “Jun Mo”, who held the Great Yuan Dynasty in the palm of his hand! He was the veritable prince-regent, the master behind the Great Yuan Dynasty.

She trembled as she knelt down on the ground and opened her mouth with a quiver. “Greetings, Your Highness. My apologies, Your Highness. Our young lady has unintentionally offended you. Please forgive her.”

Mrs. Gu’s actions brought the others back to their senses. As a result, before the Gate of Uprightness outside the palace, a group of people could be seen getting down on their knees at once.

Su Kui furrowed her brows imperceptibly, thinking that it was fortunate she was disabled because she did not have to kneel and bow down in this hierarchical ancient world.

She thought she had managed to conceal her expression well, but it failed to escape Jun Mo’s eyes. Looking at her unpleasant expression, Jun Mo felt somewhat unsettled.

He had fallen for her, yet he did not realize it.

He shrugged with a cold expression. “Get up, all of you!

“You too, get up. I’ll forgive her!” he said to Mrs. Gu, who was still hesitant about standing up.

As if Su Kui had just realized it, she stared at him in amazement. “You’re a prince!” Her cat eyes sparkled.

What did she mean by “a prince”?!

Mrs. Gu felt dizzy. She thought that the eldest lady had finally grown up after her traumatic experience several months ago. Something like this never occurred to her…

It turned out that she was just waiting to cause a huge problem!

Right then, a slender girl in a green skirt abruptly ran out of the crowd and got down on her knees. Knocking her head on the ground before Jun Mo, her beautiful, tearful face appeared pitiful. 

“Your Highness, my sister has probably gone mad! She has never been like this before; I don’t know what could have happened to make her start talking such nonsense. Your Highness, for the sake of our father, please forgive her this time!”

Jun Mo knitted his brows tightly together. What was wrong with this girl? And these inexplicable words… Had she gone deaf? Did she not hear him promise Mrs. Gu that he would not blame her young lady?

At the end of the day, he was a man who had been swimming deep in the center of power since his childhood. He understood what was going on instantly.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw how Su Kui still seemed nonchalant. Her cherry lips were pursed as if she was watching a great show as the girl in the green dress acted.

He was happy to play along. “Oh? Who is your father?”

The girl was overjoyed. She calmed her heart, which was about to jump out of her chest, and said in a pleading tone, “My father is Feng Chengzhi, the dynasty’s grand preceptor. Your Highness, have mercy. Please forgive my sister!”

Jun Mo, however, did not fall for it. Instead, he was more interested in Su Kui. “You mentioned that she did not use to be this way, so how did she use to be?

“About that…” There was a flicker in Feng Qingqing’s eyes, as though she was having a hard time revealing the truth.

Mrs. Gu initially thought that Feng Qingqing’s plea sounded sincere. Only now did she realize that a concubine’s daughter would forever be a concubine’s daughter. She would never be decent enough to do such a thing.

She was not even an imperial concubine yet, but there she was, trying to make her sister look bad!

“Snort…”

Su Kui could not help but snicker. She coughed a few times and glowered at Feng Qingqing, her little finger pointing at her without hesitation. “You… Y-You truly never let go of an opportunity to smear my name. What do you intend to say? You want to say that I used to be haughty, domineering, harsh toward the servants, and disrespectful toward the elders?” she mocked.

With tears in her eyes, Feng Qingqing stared at Su Kui with wide, grief-stricken eyes. “What are you talking about, sister? I would never dare to do that!”
