Chapter 78: Revenge was a dish best served Cold 3 (2/2)
The palace maid that delivered the messenger curtsied and left. Zhu Feifei's ladies maid followed her behind. Zhu Feifei was skilled and looked pointedly at the two maids standing behind Su Liya. They were like hawks gardening the chicks. It was amusing, ”such loyal servants, do you think that I would swallow your madam. The Emperor will soon arrive, we haven't got much time”, she said calmly, her expression calm as water.
Su Liya gave Zhu Feifei a stiff smile, without looking back ”Rong Rong, Baozhai please step out for a few minutes”
Zhu Feifei's lips twitched a little when she heard her say please, 'How pathetic, who is she trying to fool by pretending to be kind”
Rong Rong and Baozhai glanced at Zhu Feifei then their madam with concern. They were about to speak when Su Liya looked back and shook her head. The two maids frowned and sighed before leaving, they didn't go far in case Su Liya needed them. Before leaving the Dukes' manor, they were warned by the General to keep an eye on their mistress.
Su Liya did understand what game Zhu Feifei was playing but she wanted to put an end to it. Zhu Feifei has been appearing around her of late, which she found unsettling.
Since Zhu Feifei was going all Liya Jei like they were close or something, she decided to play along and abandoned all formalities. She didn't understand the obsession of people with making empty talk and got straight to the point ”Why did you call me out?”
Zhu Feifei titled her head to the side and asked, ”Liya Jei, you seem to not like this Princess. Have we ever had any altercation?”
”Wha what, No no! That is not it” Su Liya replied eyes budged, the action was quite obvious because of her small face.
Zhu Feifei hissed silently as she looked at the little slut, she couldn't stand looking at her worthless face anymore, ”then it must be because of your guilty conscience, You feel guilty for seducing my husband”
”Your husband?” Su Liya asked
”The sixth prince” Zhu Feifei walked closer to her ”Did you think that I wouldn't find out about your secret, not with my husband. After things didn't work out with Faye, you decided to go after the sixth prince. Don't bother denying everything, I heard it from a reliable source”
At the mention of a ”reliable source” Zhu Fenfang's fake little face appeared in her mind. Since she was the only one that has ever seen her with Zhu Faye apart from Zhu Fengyin. Zhu fenfang and Zhu fengyin were like fire and water so it couldn't be her.
Zhu Feifei walked around her paused ”Fenfang saw you meet the sixth prince at the garden after the family dinner during the daughter festival. Did you think no one would find out about that? Because it was dark and everyone had gone to bed, you were hoping that they wouldn't weren't you? You have got yourself a good life now, you are married to a marquis, your future is set or so you think”
Su Liya's heart stilled when Why ”I never had anything to do with the sixth Prince, your highness. I have never even met him privately, I am being framed?” Su Liya refuted adamantly but that made no difference.
Zhu Feifei laughed coldly, her laugh was a little cold and maid goosebumps down Su Liya's arm ”at least you are not claiming that you have never met him before. How is your relationship with General Lu, is it good? Is he treating well?”
The questions were unexpected albeit strange, she went from rejecting her explanation to asking about her marriage. ”Fi_fine, the General treats me well”.
”I hope he would still treat you well when he finds out about your previous relationship with the sixth Prince and Zhu Faye”
Su Liya looked at Zhu Feifei's, and thought was she trying to threaten me with all these lies?' She hardened her expression and replied coldly ”I don't have any relationship with the sixth prince or Zhu Faye. Those are all lies, you can't threaten me with something as insignificant as that.”
”Threaten you? Did you think I would threaten you with just that? I know about your little ”romance” with Xu Jingting, you better stay away from my husband or I will deal with you a lot harsher than last time” Zhu Feifei got closer to her and whispered ”Do you think you can win against me? You? An unwanted little thing? You are worthless, even your parents didn't want you. Did you like the beautiful day you spend in the palace with General Lu, do you want to experience that again. Come close to my husband and I will arrange another special day for you but this time with your old flame Xu Jingting! Dirty little bitch” Zhu Feifei won't out and walked away.
