The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 16

In Qingyan's mind, she clearly understood that in this kind of situation, no one was going to give up the opportunity to get into good favors with Su Qingyuan, and as for who, when Qingyan thought of this the corner of mouth curled up.

After scanning the crowd with her eyes, she set her sight back on the textbook. In her former life as Qilian Qingyan, she was one of Nanchen's greatest female talents; not only excelling in the four arts, but even horseback riding and archery weren't a problem for her.

Su Qingyan glanced at Cui Hanqun, who was heading towards her. She knew that this Cui Hanqun was Donghe's Minister of Justice's younger son.

According to Zizhu, this Cui Hanqun was regarded as Bogu Hall's number one little tyrant. And since the one he liked the most was Su Qingyuan, he probably wanted to use this opportunity to show off to her.

"Hey, I heard that you were seducing men, because you couldn't handle the loneliness." Cui Hanqun walked up next to her and said while looking down on her.

Qingyan flipped through her book without even sparing a glance at Cui Hanqun's face. Instead she lightly said, "Oh, I didn't expect that young master Cui would know something this secretive."

Seeing Qingyan talking to him so nonchalantly, he spoke out in discontent, "Am I not wrong?" As he spoke, he lifted her by the collar, "Su Qingyan, what do you mean by that?"

Although Su Qingyan is already 14, her shriveled body could still be easily lifted by this chubby brat.

Cui Hanqun originally just wanted to have Qingyan yield to him, but instead he kept hearing her nonchalant voice enter his ears, "Young master Cui, my father is the current Dingguo General. What do you think will happen to you, if you try to kill me now?"

Reluctantly, Cui Hanqun could only put down Su Qingyan. After all, if he tried to kill her now, it'll be difficult to explain when he goes home later.

When the crowd saw this scene, no one was concerned. Furthermore, no one even came forward to help out Su Qingyan. In their eyes, Su Qingyan was just the laughing stock of Bogu Hall.

However, before the crowd could even react, Cui Hanqun, who was originally standing, had knelt down all of sudden. That appearance of his, with his legs up to the sky, caused the whole room to roar into laughter.

"Heh" Qingyan coldly laughed as she watched Cui Hanqun get up. But who knew that as soon as her words came out, Cui Hanqun was once again on the ground.

"Young master Cui, although your behavior just now was inappropriate, you didn't have to go so far as to kneel down." Qingyan looked Cui Hanqun, who was on the ground, and said expressionlessly, "I wouldn't be able to bear it."

"Su Qingyan, when did I ever kneel to you!?" As soon as Cui Hanqun tried to get up, he fell down again.

Seeing Cui Hanqun on the ground, Su Qingyan quickly pulled the corner of her sleeve to her mouth and made a mocking expression.

"Young master Cui, men have gold under their knees*, there's really no need of you to bow to me so formally." With that said, she returned to her seat and sat down.

(*TN: It's an expression meaning that men shouldn't kneel easily to others because men should have dignity.)

Cui Hanqun was also confused as to why he had kneeled before Qingyan. It was like as if he was unable to control his knees. When he turned his head, he saw Su Qingyuan happily laughing at him.

Seeing Su Qingyuan's smile, Cui Hanqun immediately felt energized again, despite embarrassing himself before his goddess.

However....

Cui Hanqun looked to Su Qingyan with a harsh glare. There were plenty of ways to torture this girl, no need to be impatient.
