Chapter 2163: Splashing Tea Directly


As soon as Shu Yu appeared, the two people who were talking froze and looked up at her in unison.

"Who are you?"

"Just a moment ago, you were cursing that my business wouldn't do well, and now I'm standing in front of you. I wonder if you still don't know who I am?"

Shu Yu sat down in front of the two without hesitation, poured herself a cup of tea, but didn't drink it. She just held it and swayed it gently.

Instantly, both Wu Ling and the other girl realized who she was and exclaimed in unison, "You're County Princess?!"

The exclamation was quite loud, causing the other girls on the second floor who were previously looking at cosmetics and powder to turn their heads and look at the three of them.

Wu Ling hurriedly covered her mouth and only put her hand down when the others shifted their gaze away.

Knowing Shu Yu's identity, her expression became rather indifferent as she raised an eyebrow and observed her.

However, the other girl's gaze became more ambiguous. Seeing that Wu Ling was not hiding her emotions, she gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to be more discreet.

Shu Yu allowed her to look for a while and then smiled, "Have you seen enough?"

Wu Ling pursed her lips. Although she didn't want to admit it, the girl in front of her seemed different from the rural girl she had imagined. Not only was she exceptionally beautiful, but her behavior and demeanor also didn't seem so uncultured.

"Are you really County Princess of Wen'an?"

"Doesn't it seem like it?" Shu Yu put down her tea cup. "It seems like you're curious about the business I intend to run. Why not just ask me directly instead of speculating behind my back about whether my business will do well?"

Upon hearing this, the other girl's expression became somewhat guilty. While Wu Ling's face was rather unpleasant.

She felt that Shu Yu was mocking her. She then sneered, "We're curious about what kind of business you're going to run. We're just curious why you bought this shop. Do you know who the original owner of this shop was? Do you know what Cen Yi used to do?"

The girl beside her immediately pulled at her sleeve and advised her in a low voice, "Stop talking. Let's go."

Wu Ling yanked her sleeve back and leaned forward, her tone malicious as she spoke, "I heard that your fiancé is Young Master Meng Yunzheng. Do you know that Young Master Meng and Cen Yi had a past? Back when Young Master Meng was still the young master of the Gong Family, he and Cen Yi were deeply in love, almost about to get married. Now that Cen Yi has sold the shop to you, have you ever wondered why? You're really pitiful, deceived by the two of them, and you're still so proud of buying such a good shop?"

Shu Yu's expression turned cold. She had appeared in front of these two primarily to inquire about Xiao Shi's situation, to see if this girl named Wu Ling knew who might be plotting against her.

However, she no longer wanted to know now. This girl's intentions were truly malicious, openly sowing discord without any basis.

Seeing Shu Yu's unpleasant expression, Wu Ling became delighted, "Let me advise you, don't think about whether your business will do well. Instead, think about... ah..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the tea cup in Shu Yu's hand was splashed directly onto her face.

Wu Ling screamed, and the girl beside her stared at Shu Yu in shock. The other people in the second-floor hall turned their heads again, looking at this scene in disbelief.

They recognized Wu Ling but had no idea who Shu Yu was. While they had heard the words "County Princess" there were several county lords in the capital, and they should have met them all.

Wu Ling's face was now drenched in tea, and she took a long time to react.
