Chapter 353 The Cat Demon who repays the wrong favor helps the female supporting role ascend the thr

Su Lan's brows furrowed, and she thought to herself: This woman is truly outspoken! Didn't she see the horrified looks on the faces of those around her? She mercilessly raised her hand and slapped the woman three times in a row, shouting, "Shut up! How can a lowly maid like you call the Third Princess by her name?"

At this moment, An Jing, who had been silent all the time, finally saw clearly that the person in front of her was actually the abominable black cat. She widened her eyes and was about to scream out the true identity of the other monster. However, the next moment, Su Lan, as if he had already seen through her thoughts, attacked with lightning speed and hit An Jing on the neck with a palm. An Jing groaned and fainted.

Standing by and watching coldly, Nalan Rongruo saw this woman, her former enemy, still babbling nonsense and making random accusations, and she couldn't help but feel murderous. She had originally planned to inflict an extremely painful death on her, but suddenly her mind flashed back to the words that Master Chu had once said to her. She suppressed her anger and temporarily gave up the idea.

"Luwei, take this ignorant maid back to the Princess's residence for a thorough interrogation!" Nalan Rongruo ordered with a sullen expression. Before she finished speaking, she turned, clasped her fists, and bowed to the two adults present. After a polite farewell, she hurriedly left with her entourage, leaving the crowd whispering and discussing.

Su Lan also remembered her duties as a personal maid. Her almost cold eyes swept over everyone present and solemnly warned them, "I hope everyone will keep their mouths shut about what happened here today and not spread a single word! This not only concerns the reputation of the Third Princess, but also the face of the entire royal family. I hope you can give the Second Princess this favor. If anyone dares to spread rumors that are detrimental to the two princesses, Her Royal Highness will not forgive them easily once she learns of it!"

Feng Yan, who was standing aside, although he was the Minister of Works, did not dare to neglect Su Lan in the slightest because he was not only a close friend of his mother but also the princess's aide.

He bowed slightly and took the lead in respectfully responding, "We will obey the princess's orders!" As his voice fell, the officials who had just left the court, as well as the palace maids and guards who were watching the excitement, all woke up as if from a dream, hurriedly lowered their heads, and said in unison, "We will obey the princess's orders!"

After Su Lan respectfully said goodbye to Feng Yan, she quickly followed the princess and her group.

Entering the princess's residence, an atmosphere of tranquility washed over me, yet beneath this tranquility lay a tinge of tension and unease. In the spacious and elegant study, An Jing was bound and trapped in a chair, her mouth gagged with a cloth. She looked terrified and angry.

"Lord Chu, what should we do with this woman?" Nalan Rongruo turned his head and looked at Su Lan with a questioning look.

Su Lan bowed slightly and replied firmly, "Your Highness, if you trust me, then let me arrange her place. And please rest assured, I will ensure that she will not become a stumbling block to your ascent to a higher position."

Just now, Su Lan received a reminder from the system—the heroine's aura had dropped by another ten percent! This must be because her plan to capture the male supporting role had failed.

Now that things have come to this, Su Lan secretly thought to herself that it would be better to go with the flow and give the heroine an opportunity to get in touch with the other two male supporting actors.

After all, letting something that was once full of hope turn into nothing again and letting that deep feeling of despair linger around her like a shadow is the most severe punishment for this heroine who relies on the plot to act recklessly.

"Of course I believe you, Lord Chu. However, this woman was really careless with her words and almost revealed your true identity just now." Nalan Rongruo looked worried and glanced at Su Lan. He continued, "If your identity were exposed to the public, it would surely attract the covetousness of many evil-minded mages."

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I have my own way to prevent An Jing from telling what happened between us." Su Lan said calmly, and then she flashed and moved in front of An Jing like a ghost.

An Jing stared at Su Lan, her eyes wide open, her face filled with horror, as she watched him approach. Her body trembled uncontrollably. Before she could react, Su Lan had already raised her right hand, her slender fingers dancing rapidly in the air. Strange rays of light intertwined with her movements to form a complex magic circle.

After the magic circle took shape, Su Lan shouted softly and slammed it towards An Jing's body. With a dull sound, the magic circle transformed into a stream of light and sank into An Jing's body.

"Okay, An Jing, I believe you are also aware of my identity and methods. From now on, as long as you dare to mention the word 'cat' or say my name, you will feel excruciating pain all over your body and eventually die in pain. So, you'd better think clearly about what to do." Su Lan warned An Jing expressionlessly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Wuwuwu..." At this moment, An Jing's mouth was tightly covered with a cloth, and she could only make unclear whimpering sounds, but she still nodded desperately to show that she understood.

Thinking of the horrific scene and the potential death threat she faced, An Jing was filled with fear. She didn't want to die so young, especially after finally traveling through this novel. She was still dreaming of meeting all kinds of handsome men and enjoying a romantic love story. If she died in such pain and inexplicable pain, wouldn't that be too depressing?

Su Lan seemed to see through An Jing's thoughts, and a subtle smile appeared on her lips. Then, she raised her hand and gently waved it. The piece of cloth that had been stuffed in An Jing's mouth flew out automatically, as if pulled by an invisible force.

"Now, I can ask the princess to spare your life and grant you the status of a commoner so that you can stay in the capital. However, it all depends on your performance. What do you think, are you willing to accept such conditions?" Su Lan looked down at An Jing and asked indifferently.

"Yes, yes, yes! I do! I really do!" An Jing nodded in agreement hurriedly, fearing that if she answered a little slower, she would annoy Su Lan.

For her, being able to escape the drudgery of the laundry department, gain freedom, and stay in the prosperous capital was simply a dream come true. As for the scares and threats she had suffered before, they were nothing compared to the opportunity before her.

"Alright, kowtow three times to me and the princess. If I'm in a good mood, I might even show mercy and let you go!" Su Lan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly and mischievous smile. She waved her hand nonchalantly. The ropes that had been tightly restraining An Jing's body instantly loosened, falling to the ground as if they had lost all their power.

Su Lan turned around lightly and sat back gracefully in the position where she had just sat. She crossed her legs, folded her arms across her chest, and watched everything happening in front of her with interest.

Nalan Rongruo on the side did not say anything to stop Su Lan's seemingly excessive request. He just sat there quietly, expressionless, as calm and steady as an iceberg, as if waiting to see how An Jing would respond next.

An Jing bit her lip, her beautiful eyes burning with anger and humiliation. She clenched her hands into fists, her joints turning white from the force, and then slowly loosened them.

Finally, as if she had made an extremely difficult decision, she dragged her heavy feet and walked towards Su Lan and Nalan Rongruo step by step. Every step she took seemed to exhaust all her strength.

Finally, An Jing walked in front of the two of them and knelt on her knees with a dull thud. Then, she leaned over and slammed her forehead against the ground, once, twice, three times...
