3267 Truly a Death Sentence

Mu Qingya's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly glanced at the Old Madam.

However, the Old Madam didn't even look sideways, acting as if she hadn't heard the Crown Princess's words. She neither expressed an opinion nor intervened.

Mu Qingya immediately felt a pang of frustration.

Was the Old Madam making it clear she wouldn't get involved in anything?

Given the Old Madam's status, if she had just said a word, the Crown Princess might have shown her a bit of deference. But the Old Madam deliberately chose not to speak.

Mu Qingya looked at the pale-faced Shi Huixin and couldn't help but curse inwardly again.

Now she knows fear, but before, she just had to have the satisfaction of her tongue.

Awning raised his arm and slightly blocked Mu Qingya's path. "Madam Mu, please move aside."

Mu Qingya took a deep breath and quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, your grandfather's birthday is approaching; it's not suitable for bloodshed. Concubine Shi!"

Mu Qingya sternly barked, "Why aren't you rolling over here to salute and apologize to the Crown Princess?"

Shi Huixin trembled all over, unable to suppress her indignation.

"What did this concubine say?" Concubine Shi suppressed her surging anger, speaking with a look of suppressed resentment, "This concubine is merely grateful for the Crown Princess's mercy in not killing me, grateful that the Crown Princess at least spared this concubine's lowly life. How is this improper speech?"

The little Crown Princess looked up and coldly swept a glance over her, unceremoniously stating, "I never intended to spare your life."

"You first found someone to impersonate me, trying to ruin my reputation and make me an outcast hated by everyone."

Qiaomu looked at her with icy eyes, saying, "Then, you repeatedly sent several servants to disgust me and His Royal Highness."

"All your actions are clear as day. Why should I let you go?"

"That day, I intended to beat you to death! It was your good fortune that you escaped that fate."

"Instead of staying quietly in your rat hole, you dare to act brazenly in front of me! Do you think this Crown Princess cannot deal with a lowly concubine like you??"

Awning's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately cupped his hands and cried out, "Crown Princess, calm your anger!"

"Caixiu."

"This slave is here."

"Grant her a length of white silk, a dagger, and a bottle of poison. Let her choose." Qiaomu said these words coldly, and the scene instantly fell silent. Even Concubine Qiu couldn't help but feel her eyelids twitch slightly.

They had thought that this Madam of the Mu family's First Branch could protect that lowly concubine, but it turned out that in front of the Crown Princess, Madam only had the option of taking a loss.

Caixiu walked forward with a stern face, directly throwing the three items the Crown Princess mentioned in front of Shi Huixin, and coldly said, "Concubine Shi, the Crown Princess grants you death. Will you do it yourself, or shall this slave come and help you?"

Shi Huixin's chest heaved rapidly, and she couldn't help but let out a piercing shriek as she spoke, "You dare! You, you dare! You truly have no regard for the law! What have the ancestral laws become in your eyes?"

"For this Crown Princess to grant death to a mere lowly concubine, no law is needed," Qiaomu said coldly, her patience completely exhausted with this person.

Concubine Shi had never endured such humiliation. She was so enraged that she slumped in her wheelchair, trembling uncontrollably.

Mu Rouyan was also nearly driven mad with anger. She rushed forward and swung a punch, "You dare to treat my mother like this! I'll kill... Ah!"

A strong, agile maidservant quickly darted out from beside the Old Madam. Without a word, she grabbed and twisted the second young lady's arm, single-handedly pinning it behind her back.

Mu Rouyan felt that the maidservant's grip was so strong it seemed as if she was going to twist her arm off. Cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead from the pain.
