Chapter 158: Secret Leak (10)

"This…" At this moment, Su Wan also found it hard to justify herself. After a long pause, she stubbornly insisted, "His Highness Prince Jin has a Dragon Scale Horse. A Dragon Scale Horse can travel a thousand miles a day, so a round trip in ten days is nothing to it. Google Search Reading."

"Since Third Sister mentioned the Dragon Scale Horse—" Su Luo sneered, gazing fixedly at Su Zian. "Father, you must have heard of the Dragon Scale Horse. Do you think a Divine Beast like the Dragon Scale Horse would allow anyone other than His Highness Prince Jin to ride it? I heard that when His Highness the Crown Prince tried to ride it, he was thrown off the carriage and nearly had an accident. What virtue or ability does your daughter possess that would allow her to ride the Dragon Scale Horse? Is my Luck more noble than the Crown Prince's? Is my martial arts higher than the Crown Prince's? Or is it something else?"

Su Luo's words were reasonable, airtight, and irrefutable, leaving no room for error.

Unless the Yaochi Fairy stood before her and exposed her lie, no one would ever believe that Su Luo was with His Highness Prince Jin, let alone rode the Dragon Scale Horse with him. This was simply unimaginable.

If even the Crown Prince and the Yaochi Fairy couldn't touch the Dragon Scale Horse, how could Su Luo possibly ride it?

Since the assumption of riding the Dragon Scale Horse was impossible, it naturally followed that Su Luo's claim of visiting the Sunset Mountain Range was also false.

Therefore, it was clear that Su Wan was the liar, not Su Luo.

After Su Zian finished his deduction, he glared fiercely at Su Wan and sharply snapped, "Go back to your courtyard and reflect properly! Stop coming out all day long stirring up trouble and fabricating stories!" With that, General Su Zian flicked his sleeve and resolutely turned and left.

He completely believed Su Luo's words, believing she was innocent and that Su Wan was the one causing trouble.

Su Wan's face flushed crimson with anger, turning dark and ashen. She pointed her slender finger at Su Luo, her expression twisted and ferocious. "I truly don't know, nor can I imagine how you traveled between home and the Sunset Mountain Range, but I believe what Liu Ruohua said!"

Having finished speaking, she turned and walked away.

She vowed to find proof that everything Su Luo said was mere sophistry.

However, Su Luo leaned lazily against the door frame, crossing her arms. Her face was radiant, and the corner of her mouth curled into a cold, half-smile. "Third Sister, you're quite forgetful, aren't you? Trying to leave already?"

The Su Luo of this moment was no longer the delicate and timid girl who had faced Su Zian earlier. Now, she appeared utterly nonchalant, her every action suggesting she was certain of victory—neither arrogant nor rash, neither hurried nor slow.

Su Wan stopped. She turned back, glared at Su Luo, and sneered, "What? Do you want to keep your Third Sister here to eat dinner with you?"

She was already prepared to let Su Luo off this time, yet Su Luo was still dissatisfied?

"No need for that. I just vaguely recall hearing Third Sister say that if I, Su Luo, were here, you would kneel and serve tea and water?" Su Luo pretended to pick her ear, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, carrying a hint of mockery and derision.

Food could perhaps be eaten carelessly, but words could not be spoken carelessly; one had to be responsible for what they said.

However, Su Wan sneered coldly, "You heard wrong. Nothing of the sort happened!"

Having spoken, she lifted her skirt and hurried away, terrified that if she walked too slowly, Su Luo would stop her and force her to kneel, pour tea, and apologize.

Su Luo watched her fleeing figure, the corner of her mouth curving into a shallow, cold smile.

Su Wan, did you think it would be this easy to pass this hurdle? Did you think I, Su Luo, was so easily bullied?
