Chapter 3266: 4.866 Harboring Resentment

Mu Rouyan, exasperated, cried out, "Mother, did I say something wrong?"

She simply couldn't stand it. Why did they, a whole group of people, have to come early in the morning and wait here to respectfully welcome this country bumpkin?

Why did even Grandmother treat this country bumpkin with a hint of special regard?

She was Grandmother's biological granddaughter too, wasn't she?

And why did they have to make way for this country bumpkin who hadn't returned home for over ten years everywhere?

"Rouyan, how can you be so rude to the Crown Princess?" A gloomy voice of rebuke came from behind the crowd.

Second Branch's Concubine Qiu smirked, dabbing her lips with a handkerchief, and coldly watched the muddled group from the First Branch making a scene in front of the Old Madam.

Did they think making such a fuss would benefit the First Branch in any way?

It would only incur more disdain from the Old Madam. Concubine Qiu subtly exchanged glances with her daughter and smiled, averting her gaze slightly.

Following the sound of carriage wheels came Shi Huixin, seated in a wheelchair, her face looking very gloomy.

Concubine Shi had a blue cloth kerchief tied around her head, keeping all her hair tucked in.

Her eyes, like those of a viper, held a chilling, dreadful dampness, staring intently at her.

"Don't you forget the price of offending the Crown Princess," Concubine Shi said coldly. "This concubine is a lesson for you."

"I should also thank the Crown Princess for her mercy in not killing me, saving my lowly life. It's just a lame leg."

When Concubine Shi spoke the last four words, her gnashing teeth made it seem as if she were literally chewing on Qiaomu's flesh and blood.

Of course, if she could, Concubine Shi would have long since pounced on her and torn her apart.

Lord Qiaoqiao glanced at her and said with a cold face, "Someone."

The Old Madam's eyelid twitched slightly, and a bad premonition instantly rose in her heart.

Awning leaped to Lord Qiaoqiao's front with a whoosh, secretly suppressing the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, and bowed, "This subordinate is here!"

"A mere lowly concubine dares to be sarcastic, make veiled criticisms, and speak improperly in front of this Crown Princess. She is utterly audacious."

"Kill her."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Shi Huixin's face twisted slightly, and her heart also jolted in alarm, causing cold sweat to involuntarily trickle down.

Seeing Awning about to make a move, Second Branch's Concubine Qiu pursed her lips and couldn't help but lower her eyes with a smile.

The First Branch truly stages a splendid show every day, one after another. Let's see which one is stronger...

"You!" Mu Rouyan shrieked, "You actually dare..."

"Shut up." Mu Qingya, seeing things developing in a bizarre direction, quickly scolded this illegitimate daughter who only knew how to shriek.

Her eyes glared mercilessly at Shi Huixin and her daughter.

Knowing full well that the little Crown Princess is someone who never plays by the rules, why do they still rush to find trouble?

Did they think that the little Crown Princess, returning from studying at the Royal Academy, would be a bit gentler than before?

This pair of brainless mother and daughter are simply asking for trouble!

Mu Qingya took a deep breath, quickly reached out and blocked Awning, then smiled apologetically at Qiaomu, "Qiaoqiao, Concubine Shi's mind has been a bit muddled ever since her legs became inconvenient. Please don't hold it against her."

The little Crown Princess coldly glanced at Shi Huixin, "I don't think her mind is muddled; she harbors resentment towards this Crown Princess."

"Since she doesn't want to live on such a good day, then grant her death."
