The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1313

Chapter 1313: 640 One Up_2

Miao Ruoxin witnessed Su Xue’s lukewarm attitude toward herself, yet her excessive courtesy toward a disfigured, mediocre half-doctor sparked a glint of coldness in her eyes.

Chen and Zhan had a longstanding feud, and Miao Ruoxin hated all people from Zhan Country, let alone someone from there who has slapped her face.

Miao Ruoxin narrowed her eyes and asked, "Young Master Xiao, since you’re a classmate of Young Master Qingchen, I presume you’ve also studied at Tianqiong Academy. What brings you to the inner city? Do you have a city entry token?"

Su Xue’s expression flickered, and she just then remembered Xiao Liulang didn’t have an inner city token. She turned her head and glared fiercely at Miao Ruoxin, "None of your business! Why are you so nosy? You should stop being a doctor and go catch mice instead!"

As the saying goes, a dog trying to catch mice is meddling in others’ affairs. Was she being called a dog?

Miao Ruoxin was infuriated to the point of nearly falling backwards!

Miss Su the Third had been indifferent to her, but she had never been this rude. It was all because of Xiao Liulang, who opposed her at every turn and caused her embarrassment in front of everyone!

Miao Ruoxin looked coldly toward Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao didn’t care about Miao Ruoxin at all, and she paid no mind to Miao Ruoxin’s hostility. She said to Su Xue, "I have other matters to attend to, so I must leave. You should head back soon as well."

Su Xue hesitated, then looked back and forth; on one side was her sister, on the other Miao Ruoxin—this was not the place for a conversation.

Su Xue let out a light cough, saying, "When fourth brother returns, I will visit him at the Academy."

And to find you.

"Get in the carriage," Gu Jiao said.

With a smile, Su Xue waved to Gu Jiao, preparing to turn around and leave.

Miao Ruoxin’s actions were imperceptible as she moved a finger and picked up a broad bean from the table. With a flick of her fingertip, she shot the bean toward the back of Su Xue’s knee.

If it hit its mark, Su Xue would definitely stumble straight into Gu Jiao’s arms.

If Gu Jiao saved her, it would be considered taking liberties with Su Xue; if he didn’t save her, then it was like leaving her to die.

Su Xue would feel heartbroken, and the second Miss Su would become angry.

Whether Gu Jiao saved her or not, it was a checkmate.

Miao Ruoxin waited to see Gu Jiao’s fate, but what she hadn’t expected was that she was fast, but Gu Jiao was even faster. In the flash when the bean was shot, a silver needle from Gu Jiao’s fingertip also moved.

The silver needle struck the bean, forcefully reflecting back toward Miao Ruoxin!

A sudden pain struck Miao Ruoxin’s right shoulder, causing her to fall heavily to the floor of the carriage.

As the second Miss Su was not trained in martial arts, she naturally didn’t perceive the undercurrent in the incident. She just saw Miao Ruoxin suddenly clutch her shoulder and fall, and hurriedly asked with concern, "Divine Doctor Miao! What’s wrong with you?"

"Miss!"

Miao Ruoxin’s maid stepped onto the carriage and helped Miao Ruoxin up from the floor.

Clutching her painful shoulder and sweating profusely, Miao Ruoxin looked at Gu Jiao, "Young Master Xiao, you attack me secretly without a word of disagreement. Is this the so-called etiquette of you people from Zhan Country?"

"You ambushed Divine Doctor Miao?"

"Impossible! Second Sister! Xiao Liulang would never ambush her!"

Gu Jiao stooped to pick up the bean that had hit Miao Ruoxin and subsequently fallen to the ground. The bean had a silver needle stuck right in its center.

Holding the silver needle, Gu Jiao said, "Miao Ruoxin, remember to wash your hands before trying to plot against someone next time."

Su Xue wrapped the silver needle and bean with a handkerchief. There were several kinds of desserts on Miao Ruoxin’s carriage, and Gu Jiao had never touched any of them. However, the bean was clearly dusted with powder from pineapple cakes and Chestnut Cakes.

At that moment, even the maid had descended from the carriage.

The only one who could have touched the bean was Miao Ruoxin herself.

Su Xue had a sudden realization, "I get it now! You were the one who attempted to ambush Xiao Liulang first!"

Of course, Su Xue couldn’t fathom that Miao Ruoxin’s actual target was herself.

But what she said wasn’t wrong; it was Xiao Liulang whom Miao Ruoxin intended to trap, with Su Xue merely being a tool she was using.

Gu Jiao stepped in front of Miao Ruoxin’s carriage, looking indifferently at her, "Just now, I was merely giving you a taste of your own medicine."
