Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 156 A show of force!

Liu Ruxu was surprised that Su Mowan would speak so directly in front of them.

She immediately regretted her provocative remark, but words spoken are words that cannot be taken back. She could only grit her teeth and then force a smile, saying, "Cousin Mo Wan, your words have hurt me too much. Let's not dwell on the unpleasantness of the past today!"

Qinghe, who had met Liu Ruxu twice, had seen her face clearly. It was Liu Ruxu who started the unpleasant incident, yet she still dared to say such things. How could she be so shameless!

Yinshuang merely frowned, unlike Qinghe who made her displeasure as obvious.

Liu Ruxu was the first to back down, which surprised Su Mowan by raising an eyebrow.

She thought that Shen Muyue's arrogant entrance meant she had conspired with Liu Ruxu to cause her trouble.

"Let's not talk about it then. Isn't it customary to serve tea to newlyweds? Yinshuang, serve the tea!"

Yinshuang silently picked up the teapot and placed it on the table in front of Su Mowan, waiting for Liu Ruxu to come and serve tea.

Liu Ruxu's eyes widened in surprise.

She glanced at Shen Murui, who was sitting quietly in the chair, and said indignantly, "Why should I serve tea?! Su Mowan, I'm your cousin!"

"I don't care who you are. First come, first served. Besides, I'm a concubine, and you're just a maidservant. Is it too much to ask you to serve me a cup of tea?"

After Su Mowan finished speaking, she ignored Liu Ruxu's distorted expression and raised her finger to blow on it.

Seeing that Shen Muyue had no intention of speaking up for her, Liu Ruxu gritted her teeth and decided to go all out.

"You are indeed a concubine, but why doesn't Concubine Shen need us to serve her tea? You seem to be putting on airs!"

Shen Muyue didn't let the two newcomers serve tea?

This surprised Su Mowan. Shen Muyue was known for her domineering and arrogant nature, and she loved to flaunt her status in the backyard of the Prince's mansion.

How could we let such a good opportunity slip by today?

Shen Muyue, who had been quietly watching the commotion, could no longer pretend to be silent. Her dislike for Liu Ruxu had intensified, but at this moment, she still had to stand on Liu Ruxu's side.

So Shen Muyue chuckled sweetly and advised, "Serving tea is just a formality. We'll all be sisters from now on, so why be so formal?"

Su Mowan turned her head and looked at Shen Muyue, whose smile was fake.

She blinked and nodded, saying, "That's true. I hope it's really as Consort Shen said, that we're all sisters. I hope we don't start to dislike each other as soon as we leave my house. Otherwise, what I said today will become a joke."

Shen Murui looked somewhat uneasy. She knew that Su Mowan had been quite 'favored' in the Prince's mansion recently, and now, hearing Su Mowan's words, she became even more timid.

Shen Muyue was so frustrated by these words that she almost couldn't help but curse, but she had to hold back when she thought about her plans.

"What are you saying, Sister Su? We've been together for so long, we're bound to run into each other all the time, so misunderstandings are inevitable. Let's just not take it to heart."

It sounds better when spoken than sung.

Su Mowan scoffed inwardly, but smiled faintly on her face.

"I never took it to heart, but some people just have good memories and they go crazy every now and then. I'm finding it a bit hard to handle."

"you--"

Shen Muyue bit her lip hard, but still managed to hold back.

With a forced smile, she said, "Let's not say too much in front of my two younger sisters today, lest they laugh at us. I think we should just serve tea."

As Shen Muyue spoke, she turned to Liu Ruxu.

She said without a trace of emotion, "Madam Liu, please serve tea to Sister Su first. I'll skip mine."

Seeing that Shen Muyue had already said so, Liu Ruxu had no choice but to reluctantly take the teacup, pour the tea herself, and then hand it to Su Mowan.

Su Mowan glanced at the teacup in front of her but did not take it.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment; the surroundings were eerily quiet, and Liu Ruxu could only hear the pounding of her own heart.

Shen Muyue watched coldly from the sidelines.

She was just hoping Su Mowan would embarrass Liu Ruxu, so she could easily win Liu Ruxu over! Judging from their few meetings, Liu Ruxu was a useful ally!

As expected, Liu Ruxu did not disappoint Shen Muyue.

Seeing that Su Mowan wouldn't take the teacup from her, she simply slammed the teacup down on the table with a 'bang,' splashing a few drops of tea.

"Su Mowan, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me? I've already offered you tea! What more do you want!"

Su Mowan lazily lifted her eyelids.

She glanced at Liu Ruxu and said with a forced smile, "Have you ever seen anyone serve tea like this? If you don't know the etiquette of serving tea, go and learn from Consort Shen first."

Upon hearing this, Shen Murui, who was sitting, became even more uneasy than Liu Ruxu, who was standing.

Because Shen Murui had been instilled with certain ideas by Shen Muyue when she first entered the manor, she was now extremely afraid of Su Mowan.

As for Liu Ruxu, although she looked down on Su Mowan, who was an illegitimate daughter, she felt a little uneasy when she saw Su Mowan's imposing manner. In particular, Shen Muyue, who had a haughty attitude, did not dare to challenge Su Mowan, which made Liu Ruxu regret her provocation.

Before Shen Muyue could even give her a meaningful look, Liu Ruxu had already picked up the teacup again and handed it to Su Mowan, lowering her tone slightly as she said, "Please have some tea, cousin."

"Cousin? Looks like I'll have to give her a few more pointers?"

Liu Ruxu gritted her teeth and said, "Please have some tea, Consort Su!"

Su Mowan was satisfied.

She didn't make things difficult for him and readily accepted the teacup.

Just as she brought the teacup to her lips, about to drink, Yinshuang said in time, "Consort Su, the Prince instructed that you should not drink it cold."

"Oh, how could I forget?"

As Su Mowan spoke, she placed the teacup on the table.

Then, turning to Liu Ruxu, whose face was pale, he said, "I appreciate Madam Liu's kindness, but it seems I am not fortunate enough to drink the tea you offer."

Liu Ruxu clenched her fingers tightly inside her wide sleeves, cursing inwardly.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Fortunately, Shen Muyue smiled and said, "In that case, Ruirui, you should also pay your respects to Consort Su. There's no need to serve tea."

Shen Murui, who was called out, was extremely nervous.

But seeing that Liu Ruxu's impolite attitude didn't seem to bother her, and that she was behaving properly, she probably wouldn't be made things difficult for herself.

Su Mowan turned her head and saw Shen Murui's anxious and uneasy face.

He immediately smiled.

I don't know what Shen Muyue said to this girl, but she's so afraid of her.

Shen Murui's pretty face was slightly pale due to excessive nervousness, which made Su Mowan feel sorry for her. Although Shen Muyue was very annoying, Shen Murui was not bad-looking at first glance.

So, just as Shen Murui got up and hadn't even taken a step, Su Mowan gave her a slight smile.

"No need. Madam Shen is Consort Shen's younger sister, so there's no need for such formalities. We'll all get to know each other gradually, so there's no rush."

These words infuriated Liu Ruxu.

Su Mowan only allowed her to serve tea, and deliberately made things difficult for her, but now she's treating Shen Murui like this...

Liu Ruxu secretly twisted her sleeves.

Shen Muyue glanced at Liu Ruxu, her eyes flashing as she was about to speak.

Just then, an announcement came from outside the door.

"The prince has arrived——"
