Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: Someone Not to Be Provoked
Rong Yuan pointed at her, "There are only two of you, how do you get to live in such a big room? The room we four share is even smaller than this!"
Ruru chuckled, "How would I know? It’s not like I can choose where I live in this palace. Someone arranged for me to stay here."
Rong Yuan bit her lip. She had heard from her mother that the Empress had long set her sights on Ruru as a daughter-in-law.
The matter of selecting a Prince Consort is presided over by the Empress, so naturally she would receive the best treatment.
Rong Yuan couldn’t help but say, "Don’t be so smug. Do you really think the Empress favors you? It’s all because of your father and your brother!"
Ruru laughed cheerfully, "Of course it is."
"My father is a Duke, my brother is a Grand Scholar of the first rank, they are indeed extraordinary!"
She placed her hands on her hips, "And what gives you the right to speak to me like this here? Is it because you have a father with a fourth rank idle position?"
Rong Yuan was almost faint with anger, pointing at Ruru, "You... you’re too much!"
Ruru said indifferently, "Get out. This is my room, who invited you in?"
Rong Yuan was trembling with rage, glaring at Ruru as if she wished to come up and tear her apart.
A young lady behind her tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "Let’s leave for now."
Another young lady sneaked a glance at Ruru, whispering to Rong Yuan, "Isn’t there another upper room? Let’s go check it out."
Rong Yuan actually didn’t dare to clash with Ruru. She knew that compared to Ruru, she was inferior both in family background and combat power. Even in a verbal spat, she was no match for Ruru.
She was acting like this just so as not to lose too miserably.
With the young ladies tugging at her, she retreated with them.
Ruru gave Xiao Lu a look, and Xiao Lu trailed far behind them outside.
Soon, Xiao Lu ran back, "Miss, in the next upper room, there’s Xie family’s miss and Grandmaster Jiang’s miss residing there. Now, Miss Rong is telling them to vacate the room because she wants to stay there."
Ruru frowned, "Is it Xie Zhao?"
Xiao Lu nodded, and Ruru rolled up her sleeves, "Let’s go, take a look."
Rong Yuan bullying others, she couldn’t care less, but bullying Xie Heng’s sister was unacceptable.
Between Xie Zhao’s room and Ruru’s room was only a hall. Ruru quickly walked over and saw Xie Zhao standing inside the room with her head down, nearly in tears.
Another Miss Jiang was biting her lip, her face red with anger and helplessness.
Rong Yuan’s maid was shoving Xie Zhao’s maid, "Quickly pack your things and vacate the place for our miss!"
Seeing Ruru come over, Xie Zhao looked as if she had seen a savior, pouting aggrievedly, "Sister Ruru—"
Rong Yuan’s body stiffened with her back to the door. She turned around to see Ruru standing at the door with a half-smile.
Ruru leisurely stepped in, unhurriedly saying, "Rong Yuan, take your people and get out. The two here, Zhao’er and Miss Jiang, are both my sisters. You’re not to bully them!"
Rong Yuan was trembling with rage, "Jiang Ruru, you’re too domineering! This is between me and them, what gives you the right to interfere?!"
Ruru crossed her arms, "I interfere because I want to."
"Get out now, or I’ll throw you out myself."
Rong Yuan, tough on the outside but weak on the inside, screeched, "You wouldn’t dare!"
Ruru chuckled, "Watch and see if I dare."
Rong Yuan’s cheek twitched. She knew Jiang Ruru dared. In the past, she even dared to hit the Fourth Prince, and after hitting him, the Fourth Prince had to apologize to her.
Could she afford to provoke her?
