Chapter 2: When Encountering the Crown Prince on the Street, Life hangs in the balance

"Ah—"

Cui'er's sharp scream instantly attracted the attention of the crowd just entering the morning market.

Then, as if shocked, Cui'er cried out, "Third Miss, you usually act foolishly and associate with the servants in the mansion, but how could you hang out with these riffraff? Where will you put the master's face?"

Openly caring, but secretly throwing dirt.

Su Zi Yue's icy eyes locked onto Cui'er, filled with murderous intent.

But at this moment, the 'Enchanting Fairy' on her body acted up again, forcing Su Zi Yue to stab herself in the leg with a hairpin, the pain bringing her some clarity.

Then she coldly watched as Cui'er approached and tugged at Su Lianxin's clothes, intentionally tearing them even more, revealing her snow-white back.

Unforgivable!

"Ah, Third Miss, it's not intentional, I... Ah—"

At this moment, Su Lianxin's face was facing Cui'er, and when she saw the familiar face under the disheveled hair, Cui'er exclaimed in shock, her eyes filled with fear.

Cui'er's exaggerated reaction quickly attracted the attention of others. Following Cui'er's gaze, everyone saw Su Lianxin's beautiful face.

"Wasn't it said that the Third Miss of the Su family was ugly? How come she's so beautiful?"

"I heard that the Third Miss used to be exceptionally beautiful, but was disfigured after being poisoned. Now it seems that she has recovered..."

With these words, everyone believed it without a doubt.

Cui'er was dumbfounded and subconsciously wanted to refute, "No, she is..."

"Such a beautiful official's daughter being taken advantage of by those few people is not worth it. We might as well help her too..."

"Yes, I've been with all kinds of women, but I've never been with this official's daughter. Today, I must taste it..."

After all, whenever there are people watching a show, there are also those with ill intentions.

As soon as these words fell, several men with ill intentions stepped forward, ignoring Cui'er's obstruction, and joined the ranks of the riffraff...

Some did bad things, some watched, and some women screamed in shame and left.

Cui'er watched all this happen helplessly, feeling a chill all over, trembling with fear.

Su Zi Yue coldly watched the self-inflicted consequences, then took advantage of the chaos to leave.

It was already past the hour of the dragon, a time when the streets were crowded. Su Zi Yue left the morning market and entered the main street.

There were many people coming and going, especially men, which made the 'Enchanting Fairy' on Su Zi Yue's body even more restless.

And this poison could only be relieved by a man.

Either die or find a man...

"Su Zi Yue, what are you doing here?"

Just as Su Zi Yue was choosing between death and losing her innocence, a voice filled with surprise and anger came.

Su Zi Yue followed the voice and saw a man wearing a sky-blue dragon-patterned brocade robe... Well, although this man's appearance was a bit lacking, among the short ones, he seemed barely acceptable to detoxify her.

Su Zi Yue assessed him while pondering.

When the man being assessed by Su Zi Yue felt the 'infatuated' gaze from her, a deep disgust flashed in his eyes, as if being coveted by this waste was utterly disgusting.

But soon the man seemed to think of something, his face darkened, and he sternly questioned, "Su Zi Yue, where is your younger sister?"

Su Zi Yue was suddenly questioned sternly, and her mind cleared a bit, and she finally remembered the identity of the man in front of her.

The Crown Prince, Xuan Yuan Yuda!

Her fiancé!

He really went to great lengths to break off the engagement with her.

But...

Su Zi Yue glanced at the guards behind Xuan Yuan Yuda and instinctively tightened her grip on the silver hairpin in her hand.

She couldn't deal with the Crown Prince today, and the Crown Prince probably wouldn't let her go. Her poison was also reaching its limit... Anyway, she had to leave!

Thinking of this, Su Zi Yue began to assess the environment around her and calculate her escape route.

As for Xuan Yuan Yuda, he naturally didn't expect an idiot to answer his question. He just looked at Su Zi Yue with narrowed eyes, with a hint of ruthlessness in his gaze.

In any case, he must successfully break off the engagement this time.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yuan Yuda was about to order someone to throw Su Zi Yue into a brothel, but an urgent voice interrupted him, "Your Highness, please save my young lady—"

Xiao Cui rushed out of the morning market street in a panic, seeing the Crown Prince as if she had seen a savior.

Xuan Yuan Yuda turned to Xiao Cui, furrowing his brows slightly, "What happened to our young lady?"

Xiao Cui: "Our young lady..." Just as she was about to speak, she caught sight of Su Zi Yue from the corner of her eye and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pointing at Su Zi Yue, "It's her! She harmed our young lady, poisoned her, and caused our young lady to..."

Since the young lady's innocence had already been ruined, as a maid, she had to find a scapegoat to survive.

And Su Zi Yue was the most suitable candidate.

Moreover, this matter was obviously caused by Su Zi Yue.

Thinking this, Xiao Cui quickly embellished the story, completely disregarding whether the 'fool' Su Zi Yue could do those things.

Upon hearing that Su Lianxin had lost her innocence, a deep disgust flashed in Xuan Yuan Yuda's eyes, and he cursed "useless" in his heart.

After taking a glance at Su Ziyue and the crowd surrounding her, Xuan Yuan Yuda came up with a plan. He ordered his attendant to rescue Su Lianxin, then turned to Su Ziyue with a righteous expression and said, "Miss Su, your malicious intentions and public betrayal of your own sister cannot be tolerated. Today, as the Crown Prince, I must uphold justice and eliminate such a wicked person from this world. Guards, take her and beat her to death as a warning to others!"

Upon Xuan Yuan Yuda's command, the guards approached Su Ziyue.

At this moment, Su Ziyue naturally did not bother to argue, knowing that it would be futile.

Seeing the guards approaching her, Su Ziyue's eyes turned fierce. Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly plunged a hairpin into the throat of one of the guards.

Before anyone could react, Su Ziyue withdrew the hairpin and, without hesitation, aimed it at another guard blocking her path, making a swift and decisive move.

Once she dealt with this guard, she would be able to break free from the encirclement.

However, the Prince's guards were not to be trifled with. Learning from the previous incident, the guard targeted by Su Ziyue was on guard and only suffered minor injuries.

The other guards took advantage of this opening and swiftly closed in on Su Ziyue, leaving her completely devoid of the best opportunity to escape.

In her prime, Su Ziyue might have been able to handle a few guards, but at this moment, her physical strength was greatly diminished due to the effects of "Mei Xian'er" and her current body.

After holding out for a while, Su Ziyue was subdued by several guards and ruthlessly thrown to the ground.

A wave of dizziness swept over Su Ziyue, and the effects of the medicine almost completely eroded her rationality.

It was only at this moment that Crown Prince Xuan Yuan Yuda finally reacted, looking at Su Ziyue with disbelief.

Was she not a fool? Was she not useless?

How could she still manage to kill his guards and engage in a duel with them?

In shock, Xuan Yuan Yuda's gaze fell upon Su Ziyue's face, covered in poison marks, his eyes filled with disgust.

Even if she wasn't a fool or useless, how could he, the esteemed Crown Prince and future ruler, possibly marry such a disgraceful and ugly woman?

With a cold sneer, Xuan Yuan Yuda directly ordered, "Killing the guards of this Crown Prince in public is a grave offense. Kill her!"

Upon hearing this, the guard raised his sword and mercilessly struck at Su Ziyue, who was now barely conscious and powerless to resist.
