Time passed bit by bit. Upon finishing her lunch, Su Kui lay on the couch leisurely while she squinted her cat-like eyes.

“Bang!”

Just then, a loud noise could be heard from the door followed by a bunch of panic-riddled exclamations and sounds of consolation.

An enraged person was walking at a quick pace.

“I want to see who had the honor to hide in her room and sleep comfortably while the others were ravaged by that old hag for such a long time! Someone even got punished because of her!”

Lu Yao’s plain and emotionless voice came next. “Little mistress, my mistress is still resting. Before she went to sleep, she specifically told me not to let anyone disturb her.”

The atmosphere outside seemed to diffuse for a moment. Then, the sound of a loud slap rang in Su Kui’s ears.

The harsh words continued, “You lowlife! Who do you think you are? How dare you block my way? Move aside this instant!”

It seemed that Lu Yao refused to give in because Su Kui could hear another slap that was louder than the previous one.

Su Kui tilted her head insouciantly, and a cold look flashed in her bright eyes. She raised her eyebrows and softly said, “Lu Yao, let her come in.”

As soon as her sentence ended, the furious young lady was already in front of her.

She narrowed her eyes and glared at her for a long time. Seeing Su Kui’s lack of reaction made her frustrated, and she felt an unknown fire rush into her head.

With a mocking smile, Yu Yingying snorted coldly. “I was wondering who it was. Turns out that it’s the famous Cripple Feng from the center of the capital!”

“You!” Lu Yao could not stand it. Just as she was about to move forward, Su Kui stopped her.

“Yes, it’s me,” Su Kui said lightly while she maintained that look of not taking Yu Yingying seriously. “Little Mistress Yu, you truculently broke into my room and even hit my palace maid. May I ask, what do you want?”

‘She still dares to refute me so arrogantly?! Damn it!’

Yu Yingying gritted her teeth and laughed from anger. “Ha! You have the nerve to ask me why? Then, I should ask you, why didn’t you attend the palace training? You caused us to be rebuked by Mrs. Tan!”

Su Kui lazily looked up. “I was absent due to illness. Do you have a problem with it?”

Her words to Yu Yingying contained an underlying meaning. She gave a faint smile and looked at Su Kui. Her gaze ended up on Su Kui’s legs, which were underneath her dress.

“No wonder. Even though a cripple was lucky enough to pass the first review and enter the palace, she still can’t turn into a phoenix. A sparrow will always be a sparrow; you will not have value!” she said viciously.

Su Kui’s face became stern. Nevertheless, instead of getting angry, she laughed. She cocked an eyebrow and leisurely said, “Little Mistress Yu, forgive me for being lengthy. This is the royal palace, not the garden in your home. Today, you’ve broken into my room without my permission, hit my palace maid, and even tried to physically assault me. How are you going to resolve this situation?”

Yu Yingying’s eyes widened. The other preparative concubines who were watching all took a step back once they witnessed Su Kui’s assertive demeanor. They were afraid of provoking the rumored rakshasi.

“What physical assault?! Feng Yanran, don’t you make any groundless accusation!”

When did she try to physically assault her? Yu Yingying’s eyes were popping out of rage. She wished that she could just rip off Su Kui’s mouth.

Su Kui did not answer her and said to herself, “Oh, you didn’t commit any physical assault? Then, what is this?”

She pointed at Lu Yao with her slender fingers. “There is still evidence on my maid’s face!”

“That’s because this lowlife dared to block me. My body is extremely precious. How can it be tainted by this lowlife?” Yu Yingying said condescendingly.
