Sheng Ping felt that in front of Su Yingxue, she was like naked prey, allowing her to freely scrutinize her.
Her smile was tinged with sadness. It turned out she had already seen through her.
And yet, she remained unaware that she was hoping to exploit this very vulnerability to plot against Su Yingxue.
However, Su Yingxueâs proposition was quite enticing, âDr. Su, Sheng Ping is willing to trade with you, butâ¦â
Sheng Ping bit her lip, her face showing a hint of shyness, âSheng Ping knows these memories are rather insignificant. Asking Dr. Su to help me rid myself of Chu Xiuwen is causing you a loss, but 1 also want to ask for your help with⦠one thing!â
Su Yingxueâs expression turned cold, âPrincess, you acknowledge the insignificance, yet you still request? You should be aware that if Chu Xiuwen continues to pursue you, youâll face dire consequences!â
âHeâs a prince of the royal family. Even if exposed, his punishment will be trivial. But you, a princess of a fallen country, if discovered, your reputation will be ruined. You wonât be able to marry, and the emperor might even kill you to protect Chu Xiuwenâs face!â
âI understand! This isnât the first time Iâve been humiliated. Iâm not afraid of death, but I have a single wish, one that only you can help me fulfill. Itâs my only wish!â
Sheng Ping knelt before Su Yingxue.
Initially disgusted by Sheng Pingâs deception, Su Yingxueâs feelings softened as
Sheng Ping knelt before her.
Yet, she knew she couldnât let her compassion override her judgment.
Her face remained stern. âI will only help you deal with Chu Xiuwen. I wonât assist you in anything else.â
âEven if I want to see Your Highness again, will Dr. Su not be willing to help me?â
Tears streamed down Sheng Pingâs pale face as she knelt, like petals tossed by the wind and rain, landing in the mud. It was pitiful.
Su Yingxue hadnât anticipated this request.
A pang of bitterness crept into her heart.
She still needed to help her meet Chu Yihanâ¦
Iler instinct was to refuse!
However, Sheng Ping remained kneeling. She was once a princess of a country. Now, she had no country and no home. Even as a princess, she was bullied pitifully.
âGet up. We can discuss future matters later.â Su Yingxue extended a hand to help Sheng Ping up.
Sheng Ping got up and wiped away her tears. Her smile remained as beautiful as blossoming peach flowers. âDr. Su, your kindness will be rewarded. If I can see Your Highness again privately in this life, 1â11 die without regrets.â
Su Yingxue was rendered speechless.
It would have been better if she hadnât spoken.
Her words seemed to have made her strangely want to fulfill Sheng Pingâs request, leading her to die with regrets.
âBah!â
Su Yingxue shook her head. What was she thinking? She wasnât as petty as Su Yurou.
She wouldnât let anyone harm Sheng Ping.
What a pitiful woman.
âWow, my future sister-in-law, you can even tolerate this? Youâre so generous!â
Chu Jinling, the embodiment of gossip, exclaimed in amazement as he scribbled down notes with a pen.
âNinth Prince, what are you doing here?â Su Yingxue was surprised this time.
When did this guy show up?
Chu Jinling chuckled. âIâm just⦠gathering material. But donât worry, 1 didnât hear what you two discussed earlier! 1 only started taking notes when you mentioned my brother.â
âWhat are you writing?â Su Yingxue leaned in skeptically, snatching the paper from his hand when he wasnât looking.
âHey, hey, hey! Be careful, thatâs my material. 1 need to produce another volume when 1 get back. My bookstore is waiting!â
Chu Jinling jumped up and down anxiously..
