But Su Lerao has always had a bad temper, and it was even more annoying to see her in tears.

"Stop crying like that. Who are you showing it to? I'm not my father. I won't fall for it!"

"I'll say this for the last time. If Su Xueyao can't serve the emperor well, then I'll go!"

After saying that, Su Lerao turned around and left, not forgetting to snort disdainfully before leaving!

Since entering the palace, Su Xueyao has never suffered such grievances. She never thought that she would have to face all this when she finally got the chance to come back?

"Mom, why can't you fight for your dignity?"

"She hit you and you didn't fight back, she scolded you and you didn't talk back, do you owe her anything?"

Su Xueyao vented all her anger on Aunt Qing.

Aunt Qing then struggled to get up from the ground and nervously checked the wound on Su Xueyao's face. After making sure that there would be no scars, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the child's indignant look, she sighed helplessly, and then whispered, "I am originally a lowly concubine, and she is the legitimate daughter. What can I do? If she is unhappy, she can sell me to a brothel."

"Xueyao, I dare not ask for anything, but you must fight for your dignity. Don't forget that you have a younger brother. He is only five years old!"

"Do you want to watch him being tortured to death in the Su family?"

As Aunt Qing spoke, tears began to fall again.

"Ever since you entered the palace, your father has taken good care of me. The eldest lady thought I was a threat, so she simply snatched your brother away. I went to see him secretly a few days ago, and he...he cried and told me that he was beaten every day and didn't have enough to eat."

At this moment, Su Xueyao felt a little uncomfortable. It had been several years since she traveled through time. Life was indeed difficult when she first came here. So even though she had traveled through time, she had real feelings for Aunt Qing and her younger brother, and she couldn't really ignore them.

"But mother, do we women have to rely on men to live?"

"Although Xiao Jingzheng is the emperor, he is unreasonable and tyrannical. I don't like him! If I really obey him, my life will be ruined!"

Su Xueyao sat down on the chair, protesting for herself.

But Aunt Qing was a woman who was born and raised in this era. After hearing these words, she was so scared that she almost died. She knelt down to Su Xueyao and said, "Xueyao, I beg you, please, don't say these words at the very end. This will bring about a fatal disaster!"

"What should we do? The emperor has you in his heart now. If you don't become the imperial concubine, then your sister will be the one. Then you, me and your brother will all be dead! Don't you know the eldest lady's methods?" Aunt Qing hugged Su Xueyao and cried loudly.

But Su Xueyao has her own thoughts, and she really can't please a tyrant.

However, the current situation also made her confused. Just like Aunt Qing said, if her position was replaced by someone else, she would die here before she could see the subsequent plot development.

Although she felt disgusted, she couldn't really stay away from him. This kind of tearing dealt a severe blow to Su Xueyao's self-esteem.

She could have stayed at home for ten days, but because of this situation, Su Xueyao returned to the Yangxin Palace in dejection after dark.

Before entering the yard, I heard the woman's hearty laughter, even mixed with a little bit of Xiao Jingzheng's laughter.

Such a sound made Su Xueyao feel irritated for no reason. She strode in and saw Zhu Yue playing shuttlecock.

Her movements were light, like a real flower fairy. It was obviously just a simple shuttlecock, but under her feet, it seemed to bloom, which was beautiful beyond words.

"Ayue is so awesome!"

Xiao Jingzheng clapped his hands on the side, not noticing Su Xueyao coming at all. The smile and tenderness on his face were something Su Xueyao had never seen before.

This scene deeply hurt Su Xueyao's eyes. She originally thought that Xiao Jingzheng was just cruel by nature and couldn't love others, but she never expected that it's not that he couldn't love others, but he just couldn't love her!

Now thinking about it, everything seemed different since this woman appeared. Xiao Jingzheng used to treat her as the apple of his eye, but now, his eyes were no longer on her. Even though she had been standing here for so long, he did not notice her existence. This had never happened before.

Originally, Hong Fu was also happy, but when he saw Su Xueyao out of the corner of his eye, he immediately stopped smiling, walked over hurriedly, and pulled Su Xueyao aside.

"Why did Miss Su come back so soon?"

"By the way, the Emperor said that Chaolu Palace has been cleaned up, and Miss Su can live there from now on."

"Jixiang, take Miss Su to the Chaolu Palace."

The emperor finally got to relax for a moment, and Hongfu didn't want Su Xueyao to ruin this scene.

It’s a pity that Hongfu still can’t control Su Xueyao.

The next second, Su Xueyao spoke directly: "Your Majesty, I don't like Chaolu Palace!"

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Even Zhu Yue stopped what he was doing and just looked at Su Xueyao.

She didn't have too many bad expressions, but just looked at Su Xueyao with a smile: "Miss Su, you are back, do you want to play together?"

"I don't like such childish things!"

"then!"

Zhu Yue ignored her refusal and kicked the shuttlecock over directly.

Now, Su Xueyao was overwhelmed and could only subconsciously stretch out her legs to kick. The two of them started playing back and forth.

Zhu Yue thought about it for a moment, then changed direction: "Zheng'er, catch it!"

"Ayue! I can't do it!" Xiao Jingzheng was startled, but he still subconsciously tried to catch it. However, his strength was too great, and the shuttlecock flew out and hit Zhu Yue's head heavily.

"Ouch!"

Zhu Yue covered her head and squatted on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"Ayue, are you okay?"

"Miss Yue, are you okay?"

Xiao Jingzheng and Su Xueyao went to check on Zhu Yue's injuries almost at the same time, but Xiao Jingzheng pushed Su Xueyao away in his anxiety.

"Let me see, Ayue, are you okay?"

"It's all my fault. I'm so stupid, Ayue. Why don't you just beat me up?"

Xiao Jingzheng nervously checked Zhu Yue's wound, and words of self-blame kept coming out.
