Suddenly, Shen Qingyan's expression changed.

"Shen Qingyan, what do you mean?"

In her impression, shouldn't Shen Qingyan be dressed in a rustic way, always wearing a plain white dress that looks like a dead person? Why is she wearing such a beautiful and elegant outfit today?

Also, when Shen Qingyan saw her for the first time, she should have complimented her first and then let them make fun of her. This is how it should be!

Shen Qingyan sneered in her heart and saw through Shen Yunjiao's thoughts at a glance.

I still want to treat her as a fool and have fun with her like I did in my previous life, but I'm afraid I don't have that chance anymore.

The best way to deal with Shen Yunjiao is to give her a taste of her own medicine.

"Sister, you won't be angry, will you?" Shen Qingyan blinked, looking innocent and weak. "I'm just not good at talking. I didn't mean that you were dressed in a cheap way, nor did I mean that you looked like chicken feathers. I just wanted to say that your clothes are a bit like the saying, 'putting on chicken feathers to pretend to be a phoenix'... No, no, that's not what I meant..."

"Pfft~"

Someone in the crowd laughed.

"Shen Qingyan, shut up!" Shen Yunjiao's face changed drastically and her expression became ferocious, completely different from her usual gentle appearance.

Shen Qingyan showed fear on her face and quickly took a few steps back.

"Sister, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else..."

She looked so pitiful, like a frightened rabbit, and anyone who saw her could not help but feel pity for her.

This was a tactic Shen Yunjiao often used in her previous life, especially in front of Gu Chenan, so Shen Qingyan suffered a lot of dislike for no reason.

Then in this life, she will just give tit for tat.

Shen Yunjiao was very angry. She took a step forward and tried to explain, but Shen Qingyan screamed and almost fell to the ground.

"Sister, it's all my fault. Don't be angry. I'll apologize to you."

Shen Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, then she realized what was happening and saw that several young ladies from official families around her were looking at her with contempt.

"In the past, the elder sister always bullied the younger sister. But the Shen sisters are really interesting. A concubine's daughter can even climb over the legitimate daughter."

"To be honest, Shen Qingyan is such a coward. She deserves to be bullied and doesn't deserve any sympathy."

"That's right. He didn't realize he was being bullied like that before. He was so stupid..."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan was not angry. Instead, she felt that their scolding was right and good. Why didn't they scold her more in her previous life to wake her up?

Shen Yunjiao's face turned red and white. What she hated most was others mentioning her identity as a concubine's daughter.

Although Shen Qingyan's mother was promoted to a co-wife after her mother died, she was ultimately just the title of the second wife. If you look closely, she was indeed a concubine's daughter.

"You misunderstood my sister. She didn't bully me." Shen Qingyan explained hastily, her little face full of panic. "It's my fault. I said the wrong thing and made my sister angry..."

However, after hearing what she said, there were even more contemptuous looks.

Shen Yunjiao was extremely angry and reached out to grab Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan had anticipated this and easily dodged to the side, but she did not pull her foot back. Shen Yunjiao was not paying attention and was tripped and fell to the ground.

"Are you okay, sister?"

"Shen Qingyan!"

Shen Yunjiao roared angrily and tried to get up, but a barely perceptible cold light flashed and hit her knee.

"what!"

Shen Yunjiao screamed in pain and fell to her knees in front of Shen Qingyan.

"How can my sister give me such a great gift? I can't accept it."

Shen Qingyan looked surprised and pretended to help her, but in fact she took the opportunity to take back the silver needle in her sleeve.

"No need for you to be pretentious!"

Shen Yunjiao pushed her away with gritted teeth and struggled to stand up. She tried several times but failed. Instead, she bowed to Shen Qingyan several times.

At this moment, a loud and clear female voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"Who's making so much noise?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and quietly took a half step back, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.

The person who came was wearing a scarlet dress, which was dazzling and stunning. Her long hair was flying in the wind, and she looked heroic.

She had a soft whip tied around her waist and strode onto the boat. When she looked at Shen Qingyan and Shen Yunjiao, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

This woman was none other than Emperor Kang Yuan’s most beloved fifth princess—Gu Ruxiao.

Gu Ruxiao has a spoiled and willful personality, and her moods are changeable. She has whipped countless people with the whip at her waist, so many women dare not make friends with her.

But she didn't care about her friendship with women at all, because she looked down on the open and secret struggles among women.

Shen Qingyan had an impression of her. Although she was arrogant and domineering, she had a clear distinction between love and hate. In her previous life, she had often ridiculed her for her stupidity, and even directly reminded her that Shen Yunjiao was not a good person.

But at that time, Shen Qingyan was brainwashed by Shen Yunjiao and thought that Gu Ruxiao was deliberately targeting her, and she was extremely angry with her.

Shen Yunjiao hated her even more, and later sent Gu Ruxiao directly to the cruel southern Xinjiang to marry.

When Shen Qingyan saw Gu Ruxiao, who had helped her in her previous life, she felt complicated for a moment.

After everyone saluted, Gu Ruxiao glanced coldly at the embarrassed Shen Yunjiao and sneered.

"You're dressed like a boiled chicken. Do you think you can become a phoenix? I don't think you're even qualified to cook a dish."

Shen Yunjiao widened her eyes, feeling a little annoyed but not daring to show it too much.

"Why is the Fifth Princess targeting me? I just..."

"How dare you!" Gu Ruxiao suddenly shouted angrily and whipped him without saying anything. "How dare you call yourself 'I' in front of this princess?"

Everyone was startled by her sudden whip, and they also fully realized how capricious this spoiled princess was, and how she would hit anyone she wanted.

Shen Yunjiao quickly dodged to the side, but her leg had not yet recovered and she was hit in the arm, leaving a bloody mark.

Gu Ruxiao snorted coldly, then looked at Shen Qingyan.

"You are the same, stupid and unreasonable. My royal brother likes you so much, but you are so blind and heartless. You don't deserve my royal brother's love!"

As he spoke, the second whip came towards Shen Qingyan.

This whip was much more powerful than the one Shen Yunjiao used, and it came straight from the front and at a close distance, so even if Shen Qingyan wanted to dodge, she would have no time.

Some of the timid ones quickly closed their eyes, not daring to watch this bloody and cruel scene.

With this whip, Shen Qingyan’s pretty little face might not be saved.

If she wanted to blame someone, she should just blame her bad luck for getting in trouble with the Fifth Princess, who she shouldn't have.

At the critical moment, Shen Qingyan took a half step back with her right foot and quickly leaned back.

The barbed whip just brushed past the tip of her nose but didn't hurt her at all.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qingyan leaped to Gu Ruxiao's side at an extremely fast speed. With a turn of her wrist, the whip still stained with Shen Yunjiao's blood fell into her hands.

There were sounds of people gasping for air all around, and even those who timidly opened their eyes were too shocked to speak by the scene.
