“Aunt, there’s no need for you to concern yourself over this matter. Since this woman dares to challenge me, I will make her understand the price she has to pay for crossing me!”
What was the meaning of having a ‘pig teammate’?
Perhaps no one understands this better than the Imperial consort herself!
The Imperial consort looked at Su Lin whose eyes were filled with hatred and secretly gritted her teeth. If this little girl was not the Regional King’s Mansion’s heiress and if she does not need to rely on the Regional King’s Mansion’s influence to maintain her status as an Imperial consort, she would have slapped her to death long ago!
However, though the Imperial consort was silently angry at Su Lin, she maintained a proper smile as she spoke, “Lin’er, as the precious daughter of the Regional King’s Mansion and my niece, how could you offer your precious body so easily and set up a contract with others? When you win, many will say that you bully others without regard. Why don’t you spare her life?”
It may seem like the Imperial consort was speaking up for Gu Ruoyun but what she really meant was that Gu Ruoyun was not fit to fight against Su Lin!
“Hmph!” Her words clearly made Su Lin very happy. Su Lin then glanced at Gu Ruoyun as she spoke haughtily, “Gu Ruoyun, my aunt is right. If I defeat you, the world will believe that I had bullied you. If you kneel, kowtow before me, and stop seeing Brother Chen forever, I am willing to spare your life!”
Hearing this, the Imperial consort finally heaved a sigh of relief. She then turned her long and narrow eyes towards Gu Ruoyun and smiled gracefully, “As a commoner in the Heavenly Moon Empire, to kowtow and apologize to the Regional King’s heiress is not a humiliating act. After all, you’ll also manage to ensure your survival. I can be the one to guarantee justice for you. If you admit to your mistakes, Lin’er won’t cause any more trouble for you.”
As she spoke, the Imperial consort gritted her teeth through the words ‘Regional King’s heiress’ on purpose as her eyes displayed a threatening air.
The fact that this woman had the audacity to throw out a life or death contract so easily shows that she must not be as simple as Su Lin said she was. Unfortunately, Su Lin had been spoiled rotten by the Regional King so much that she had grown to have big boobs but no brains. She does not even have any common sense! If she really does end up signing the life or death contract with this woman, no one would be able to stop that social contract from happening.
Of course, based on the Imperial consort’s point of view, if this woman knows what was good for her, she should know what benefits her best.
If she continues to be rash and willful, the Regional King’s Mansion would never let her get away with it!
At this moment, the entire courtyard has become completely silent.
The crowd believes that Gu Ruoyun would give up on the life or death contract after being threatened by the Imperial consort. Some could not help but shake their heads and sigh. The Heavenly Moon Empire has great power, how could anyone have the courage to go against such a force? As long as that person was not a fool, they would know the right thing to do.
However, under the crowd’s pitying and disdainful glances, Gu Ruoyun only turned her eyes calmly towards the eunuch who was responsible for registrations and asked, “Can I register now?”
She had ignored the Imperial consort and Su Lin!
“Gu Ruoyun!” Su Lin was thoroughly enraged!
As the Regional King’s Mansion’s heiress, she simply could not comprehend how this woman had found the courage to oppose her time and time again! Could it be that this woman believes that she could do whatever she wanted because she had her father’s support?
“Since you don’t know what’s good for you, we will continue with our previous agreement! Either you die or I live, I will make you understand the price you have to pay for your egotistical nature!”
“Lin’er!”
The Imperial consort’s expression changed drastically and she hurriedly cried out.
However, Su Lin no longer wanted to listen to what she had to say. Instead, she felt a little irritable towards the Imperial consort. “Aunt, why are you speaking up for this woman as well? She wanted to sign the life or death contract on her own so what if I do as she says? Since she’s so eager to die, I’ll escort her on her way. Perhaps she might even thank me!”
