It wasn't just Su Xinyi; everyone else in the Duke Mansion also had a displeased look upon seeing Yan Qiongsi's expression.
Both the Grand Madam and Fourth Mrs. Su were elders and found it inappropriate to make things difficult for a junior. However, Su Jingmo wouldn't just stand by without acting. If the elders couldn't step up, would she then turn into a mere decoration? She stepped forward to shield Su Xinyi, staring at Yan Qiongsi's mocking smile before speaking, "What advice does Princess Runyi have for us this time? It's quite the series of surprises visiting your mansion today."
With a seemingly gentle demeanor, Su Xixian took position behind Su Jingmo, using half of her body to shield Su Xinyi. Clasping a handkerchief and looking conflicted and frightened, she timidly said, "Princess Runyi, you aren't here to challenge our Xiao Liu again, are you? Please have mercy. Our Xiao Liu really doesn't know anything."
