After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 122: A Head-to-Head Standoff

"I was just joking with you, why make such a big deal out of it! No wonder you're the daughter of a concubine, you can't keep your temper in check."

Princess Lin'an knew she couldn't win an argument with her, so she then dragged Si Yu into the matter.

Everyone knows that Lin Rusi's mother was originally a concubine.

The daughters of wealthy families were all disgusted by this matter, which is why Princess Lin'an brought it up.

Su Xiangqing wanted to say a few words in her defense, but Lin Rusi was unwilling for Su Xiangqing to offend Princess Lin'an because of her.

"Is that so! My mother rose to power as a concubine, which is indeed not very honorable, but she still can't compare to your father, the Marquis of Lin'an. I heard that your father recently took in his eighth concubine, who is apparently two months younger than you?"

Lin Lezheng is better in this respect than in other aspects; he doesn't have much of an opinion on beautiful women.

There have always been only a few people in the backyard.

As expected, Princess Lin'an's face turned very ugly after hearing these words.

"How dare you! When did it become your place to interfere in my father's affairs?"

Princess Lin'an was dissatisfied, but she also knew that the matter was absolutely true.

Even if you don't want to admit it, it's true.

"Ha, that's ridiculous. Since when has the capital city stopped people from speaking the truth? You can point fingers at my mother and I haven't argued with you, so why is it that when it comes to the princess, this matter is not allowed?"

Princess Lin'an merely gave a cold laugh upon hearing this.

"Why? Because my father is the emperor's uncle, and we are of legitimate royal lineage. This is something you, as a concubine's daughter, can never compare to."

Princess Lin'an also attached great importance to this matter.

She must never allow anyone to insult her father in public, even though his lecherous nature was common knowledge among the villagers.

But this is not a matter that Lin Rusi can discuss.

"I didn't say anything insulting to the royal family. I only said that your Eighth Concubine is about the same age as the Princess. Is the Princess talking nonsense?"

Princess Lin'an thought that what she said made sense, and she had never disrespected her father from beginning to end.

He knew that this woman had set a trap for him.

"you……"

“Princess, as your daughter, you should also take good care of your father. After all, some things have a great impact on his health, and he should be more careful as he gets older.”

Hearing these words made Princess Lin'an feel very embarrassed.

Knowing that he would always be at a disadvantage in front of this woman, he then shifted the blame onto Su Xiangqing.

"Boss Su, I've only been away for a few days. I thought your shop was one of the best in the capital, but now that something like this has happened in your shop, do you, as the owner, intend to stay out of it?"

Princess Lin'an liked the cosmetics made by Su Xiangqing and naturally did not want to offend her.

But seeing Lin Rusi acting so arrogantly in front of him now makes him feel uncomfortable.

“Princess, Miss Lin was just telling the truth. We run a business and naturally have to serve all sorts of people. If you want me to serve you personally, you can just buy my shop.”

After saying that, Su Xiangqing didn't indulge her at all.

For such an arrogant and domineering young lady, the only option is to fight fire with fire.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Princess Lin'an finally realized that the two of them were in cahoots.

Although I have money, I don't have the strength to buy the whole store. If my father knew about this, he would definitely blame me.

"You've gone too far! Don't you know who I am? You've offended me for this woman. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Princess Lin'an knew that this approach wouldn't work on Lin Rusi.

However, Su Xiangqing was just an ordinary person after all, so it was naturally effective for him to use his identity to suppress her.

But to everyone's surprise, Su Xiangqing showed no intention of compromising after hearing these words.

“Princess, as a princess, you are supported by the people of the world, and you should also make contributions to us ordinary people. But now you have not done anything good. Instead, you are being aggressive in my shop. If this gets out, everyone will know that the princess has always been a bully of the people.”

Su Xiangqing was so aggressive that even the arrogant and domineering Princess of Lin'an was at a loss for words for a moment.

Then he stared blankly at the person in front of him.

“Princess, if I were you, having lived a life of luxury for the past twenty years, I would be filled with gratitude towards the common people, instead of acting high and mighty like you every day, as if you are afraid that others will not know your insignificant status.”

Su Xiangqing comes from the modern era, and by chance, she came to this dynasty.

He never cared much about these matters of etiquette, and these days he has been quite dissatisfied with the current strict hierarchy.

Now that he finally has a chance to vent his anger, he naturally won't let Princess Lin'an off easily.

Lin Rusi, who was standing next to her, was surprised to hear this and felt a surge of admiration for Su Xiangqing.

"Su Xiangqing, aren't you afraid of the consequences of talking to me like that today?"

Su Xiangqing didn't care about the matter when she heard this.

Although the Marquis of Lin'an was the emperor's uncle, he had always been a good-for-nothing since he was young.

She was only given a throne because of her mother's status, but she never expected that he would become so lecherous and indiscreet over the years.

He had absolutely no real power.

Such people are also most afraid of causing trouble outside, because if the emperor finds out, he may be exiled.

So I didn't even take that kind of person seriously.

“Princess, your status is so noble that we cannot afford to offend you. But Miss Lin and I have not done anything wrong today. What charges do you intend to use to punish us?”

Princess Lin'an was stunned when she heard this.

I originally thought that this Mr. Su was easy to manipulate, and that I could get him to kick me out of the shop with a little trick.

Then you can also make fun of Lin Rusi.

Unexpectedly, these two were both very eloquent, and as a princess, she naturally knew about her family's current situation.

Those words were just meant to scare people, but I didn't expect these two to be so unmoved. Only then did I feel quite helpless.

But Princess Lin'an has been arrogant and domineering since childhood, so how could she possibly tolerate being wronged like this?
