Chapter 138: Protecting the Shortcomings (Part )
Su Liuyue was slightly stunned and turned her head subconsciously. She saw that behind them, a group of young noble ladies dressed in pearls, jade, silk and satin, surrounded by maids, had appeared without her knowing. Among them was the fifth daughter of the Zheng family - Zheng Jinyu.

At the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, Miss Zheng Wu was also one of the suspected murderer's next targets, so Su Liuyue recognized her at once. Although she also had impressions of having seen other women at the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, few of them could match her identity.

This teahouse is not a high-end one, but it has a quiet environment and is close to Yangzheng Academy. Su Liuyue did not expect to meet them here.

The person who just spoke was Zheng Jinyu.

She looked at Su Liuyue with squinting eyes, her delicate face full of disgust, "Wenya, what place did you bring us to? Even this kind of person is here!"

Another blue-dressed noblewoman who was following Zheng Jinyu immediately said, "Yes, this woman has become a joke among the noble ladies in the capital recently! On the day of the flower viewing banquet, God opened her eyes and let her step on the snake all of a sudden. She thought she had done something great. Princess Changxi asked her to come over to express her gratitude in person. Princess Changxi has a good temper and is clear about rewards and punishments, but she refused to leave and made others think that Princess Changxi had made an exception and accepted her as a student. She is really shameless!"
Not to mention that she had the guts to look down on Zheng Jiulang before, and didn't even think about her own identity! No wonder Jin Yu was in such a bad mood when she saw her!"

A woman in blue standing on the other side of Zheng Jinyu stammered, "But...but didn't we come here today specifically to celebrate Wen Ya's sixteenth birthday? Wen Ya said that this shop has a quiet environment and unique cakes, so she wanted to try it..."

As soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Su Liuyue's eyes suddenly moved to her.

But it turned out to be a girl with a slightly round face, very pretty and lovely.

Although she had never seen her, she remembered her voice very clearly. It was the voice of the girl that Zheng Jinyu had coerced and bribed to drug another noble lady on the day of the lotus viewing banquet!

The woman in blue was choked by her and immediately said unhappily: "Ye Yujun, what do you know! Although this teahouse was proposed by Wen Ya, who could have expected that the third daughter of the Su family would be here before we came? Not only Jin Yuju would feel unlucky when seeing this woman, but Wen Ya would also feel unlucky, okay!"

Ye Yujun seemed to be startled, and quickly lowered his head, and said timidly: "Is... is that so?"

Among this group of noble ladies, each one more arrogant and domineering than the other, Ye Yujun is simply like an outlier.

"Of course!"

The woman in blue said, looking at a woman in the middle of the crowd who was wearing a flowing white dress and had a cool and beautiful face, and said, "Wenya, tell me, do you want to meet this woman? There is no shortage of unique teahouses in such a big city like Beijing. We can go to other places!"

Su Liuyue followed everyone's gaze and looked at the woman in white.

Judging from their positions and what they said, she was obviously the protagonist today.

And she is also one of the few girls in this group who can match Su Liuyue's name - Gu Wenya, the fourth daughter of the Gu family, whose grandfather is a famous Confucian scholar and the current chief academic officer of the Imperial College.

She was the first to perform at the talent show hosted by Princess Changxi, so Su Liuyue was quite impressed by her.

But Gu Wenya frowned slightly, looked at Su Liuyue with an unclear look in her eyes, and opened her lips slightly as if she wanted to say something.

Behind Su Liuyue, there was suddenly the sound of a cup falling heavily onto the table.

In order to make it easier for Su Liuyue to talk to Xue Wenjin, she deliberately chose the second floor of the teahouse. There were not many customers on the second floor, and because the teahouse was originally a quiet and peaceful place, no one else on the second floor spoke loudly except for them.

Therefore, the "pop" sound was particularly abrupt and harsh.

The noble ladies were startled and subconsciously looked at the young man with a cold face and clear eyes standing opposite Su Liuyue.

Their full attention was on Su Liuyue, and they didn't look carefully at who was sitting opposite Su Liuyue. Seeing this, all the noble ladies were a little surprised. This was a man with elegant temperament and handsome face! However, his elegant temperament was not without aggression. His starry eyes looked at them as if holding a sharp thorn, and said in a cold voice: "Full of foul language, forming cliques to exclude dissidents, the girls of the major famous families in the capital are actually like this, I have seen it today."

The faces of the noble ladies suddenly changed. The woman in blue was the first to lose her temper and said angrily: "Who are you! What qualifications do you have to judge us?! I haven't said anything about you yet, and you came out in broad daylight to have a secret meeting with a woman. Do you know who this Miss Su San is..."

Xue Wenjin's expression became even colder. He stood up suddenly and sneered, "Liu Yue is my cousin. I am frank with Liu Yue! Only those who are not upright will always think that others are also not upright like themselves!"

The woman in blue was so angry that she couldn't even finish her words. "How dare you! You...you...do you know who I am?"

"I don't need to know who you are."

Xue Wenjin looked around at the noble ladies coldly and said, "I'm not interested in knowing. I only know that it's not a good place to stay for long, and I don't want to stay for long.

Liu Yue, let’s go.”

Having said that, he casually put down a few copper coins and strode away.

Su Liuyue looked at her third cousin's departing back and blinked. It was not until Xue Wenjin noticed that she had not caught up that he stopped and looked back at her that he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Here he comes."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up, turned to the ladies who were either angry, shocked or had not yet recovered from their daze, and said with a smile: "My third cousin said that this is a place of right and wrong, and you are the ones who cause the right and wrong.

Let me put it bluntly, we also feel unlucky to see you."

After saying that, he turned around and followed Xue Wenjin with brisk steps.

She was already prepared to fight back.

Who could have imagined that her third cousin would be so supportive.

It was not until their figures walked down the stairs that the woman in blue woke up as if from a dream. She stamped her feet fiercely and gritted her teeth and said, "This Su Liuyue is actually getting arrogant! And her cousin is also so arrogant! He said that their relationship is innocent, so it is innocent?! Jinyu, luckily your ninth brother ran away quickly, otherwise a woman like this should...should not be married into the family..."

"enough!"

Before she finished her words, Gu Wenya suddenly said in a grim voice, "Have you said enough? We were the first to cause this incident! This is a public place, and most of the people who come in and out are knowledgeable people. Do you know how ugly you looked just now?"

The woman in blue was suddenly scolded by her, her face turned pale, and she was very unconvinced in her heart, but she didn't dare to refute her when she thought of Gu Wenya's identity. She could only mutter: "Obviously...Obviously it was Su Liuyue who did such a shameless and ungrateful thing first..."

"No matter what others did, it's not a reason for us to say those dirty words to her in the past!"

Gu Wenya pursed her lips, glanced at them coldly, and said, "Forget it, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first. You guys are here to accompany me today, so I'll pay for today's expenses. You guys can go and have fun by yourselves."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Several noble ladies who were on good terms with Gu Wenya immediately hurriedly chased after him, "Wenya!"

Zheng Jinyu, who had been silent, seemed to be angry. He couldn't help but sneered and said harshly: "Look at her arrogant look, how great does she think she is?!"
