Upon hearing the voice, Yin Chujin and Zhu’er turned around and saw a gorgeously dressed woman in a pink dress walking into their remote courtyard accompanied by two maidservants.

The woman kept clicking her tongue and sighing as she walked. She looked at Yin Chujin with disdain. She walked to their table and looked at the two bowls of white rice and a plate of yellowing vegetables on the table. At first, she shook her head in pretended sympathy, then covered her mouth and giggled.

“Ruxue, what did His Highness send to my Cuiyan Residence tonight?” The woman asked the maid behind her.

Ruxue covered her mouth and giggled. Then she answered, “Ma’am, the Lord has given us bird’s nest soup, fish belly, dried shellfish, prawns…”

When Ruxue finished the list of dishes, the woman in pink touched her belly. “Oh, I am so full tonight. If I had known that Princess Consort ate so poorly, I would have left some dishes for you…”

Seeing their attitude, Yin Chujin understood their intentions. Unfortunately, she wasn’t interested in such drama. “Sorry to interrupt. Before you do anything, tell me your name, thank you!”

The woman in pink was a little choked. After a while, her frozen smile returned to her face. “Sister Princess Consort really doesn’t take us seriously. Before entering the Xiao Manor, she didn’t ask which concubines His Highness welcomed into the manor.”

“Just some concubines. Do I need to spend time to remember you all?” Yin Chujin picked up the chopsticks on the table and ate every once in a while.

The woman in pink was angered by her disdainful attitude. She had originally come to laugh at the unfavored Princess Consort, but she did not expect her to completely disregard her as a concubine who was doted on.

“My name is Liu Cuiyan. His Highness dotes on me very much. Sister, do you know that on the night you married into the Prince’s Manor, His Highness spent the night with me?” Liu Cuiyan bragged. Then, she stared at Yin Chujin’s face, wanting to see the change in her expression.

Unexpectedly, Yin Chujin only raised her eyebrows and continued eating calmly.

“You… don’t think you’re so great just because you’re a princess. You’re still an abandoned consort after marrying into the Xiao Manor. His Highness has never even looked at you. Pitiful. The wound on your forehead hasn’t healed yet, and your neck is injured again.” Liu Cuiyan’s heart was burning with anger when she saw her calm expression.

“If you feel better from mocking me, feel free to keep going.” Anyway, it was her saliva that was wasted! She was the one occupying this body now. If it was the original princess, she would probably be arguing. After finishing the last mouthful of rice, she reminded Zhu’er, who was standing at the side, to eat properly and stood up to walk to the bed.

Zhu’er, this little girl, was as timid as a mouse. After all, she had followed the rude and unreasonable princess for so long. When she saw arrogant people, she would retreat. She was probably only a bit brave when referring to Sheng Yiming as that “sickly person.” In short, she bullied the good and feared the evil.

However, the more Yin Chujin did not argue with her, the more uncomfortable Liu Cuiyan felt. She watched as Yin Chujin picked up a book from the bed and flipped through it. Without a word, she went forward to snatch it. Before her hand could touch the book, Yin Chujin grabbed it and pulled it back. The sound of joints rubbing could be heard clearly.

Yin Chujin glanced at her indifferently. “Do you choose to leave or cripple your hand?” She was no match for a man in terms of strength. If she couldn’t beat Xiao Yelei, she would admit defeat. However, if she couldn’t even beat a woman who only knew how to be ruthless with her words, she would have lived in the modern world for nothing.

The pain from her wrist made Liu Cuiyan cry out. The two maidservants wanted to step forward to help, but Yin Chujin glared at them and they didn’t dare to take another step forward.

“I… I’ll… leave…” Liu Cuiyan was in so much pain that tears fell.

The next moment, Yin Chujin let go of her wrist and said, “Scram!”

“You… Yin Chujin, don’t be too smug. I’ll tell His Highness to stand up for me…”

“Help yourself!” Yin Chujin did not even raise her head as she flipped through the medical book in her hand. From time to time, she would frown. When she was in the palace, she used the excuse that she had many injuries on her body as an excuse. She had openly obtained this medical book from the imperial physician and also asked for a lot of medicine, but the ancient words were really difficult to understand.

Liu Cuiyan left Wuyuan angrily with her maidservant. It took Zhu’er a while to come back to her senses and she looked at Yin Chujin with admiration.

“Princess, when did you become so powerful? You just reached out and twisted her hand. Wow, Liu Cuiyan didn’t dare to move anymore. When did you learn martial arts?”
