3272 Jealous Woman!

Madam Chen's expression shifted slightly. She secretly suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and said, "Crown Princess, you don't understand. When a mother goes mad, she might do something completely out of line."

"Are you threatening me?" Qiaomu's eyes narrowed coldly.

"Bang!" Old Madam Mu slapped the stone table heavily, glaring at Madam Chen with a displeased expression. "Madam Chen, even though the Crown Princess no longer has her mother, she still has me, her grandmother. As long as my old man and I are alive, no one will be allowed to bully her."

"Old Madam, I didn't mean it like that." Madam Chen saw the atmosphere growing increasingly tense and couldn't help but soften her tone.

Old Madam Mu slowly rose to her feet, and Qiaomu also stood up, reaching out to support her.

"Madam Chen, you think too highly of your daughter. What status does the Crown Princess have that she needs to hold a grudge against your daughter?"

"I trust my granddaughter. Since she says this matter has nothing to do with her, then it has nothing to do with her. Today is the day for our Mu family to enjoy the garden and admire the flowers. We don't wish for outsiders to be present. Please leave!"

Madam Chen's chest heaved slightly in anger, and she couldn't help but say, "The Crown Princess says this has nothing to do with her, but does she have any evidence...?"

"And what evidence do you have?" the Old Madam interrupted Madam Chen impatiently. "Did you personally witness the Crown Princess abducting your daughter, or did you personally witness the Crown Princess killing your daughter?"

"Where's your physical evidence, your witnesses? You're just relying on Miss Long and Young Master Gu's empty words and baseless accusations to throw this dirty water onto the Crown Princess?" The Old Madam scoffed, "You're too naive!"

"Old Madam, she killed Miss Zhongli from the Zhongli family in the secret realm!" Madam Chen couldn't help but shriek, interrupting the Old Madam. "She harbored resentment towards our Baojia long ago!"

"Back then, both Baojia and Zhiwei were promised to the Crown Prince. Now, one is dead and one is missing. Are you happy, Crown Princess? Why don't you just admit it, that you're a jealous woman, and you secretly wished for their deaths..."

"Silence!" A deep, cold reprimand came from outside the courtyard.

Everyone was slightly startled and turned to look.

They saw two figures standing on the pebble-strewn path leading to the pavilion.

Mo Lian, dressed in a dark court robe, stood tall and imposing not far away, his handsome face covered in a chilling frost, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, emanating an oppressive coldness.

Left Prime Minister Chen Chaozhi stood behind the Crown Prince, feeling waves of cold pressure emanating from him. His heart pounded, and he didn't dare to breathe, silently cursing his wife for being brainless and causing trouble.

He had received the news that his wife had brought people to cause a disturbance in Nanxinyuan and had rushed over, but he still ended up encountering the Crown Prince and letting him hear his wife's thoughtless words.

This matter could be big or small. Taken broadly, it was insubordination and disrespect towards the Crown Princess. Taken lightly, it could be said that a mother spoke carelessly in a moment of desperation. It all depended on how the Crown Princess chose to handle it.

"Why are you here?" The young Crown Princess blinked, looking at Mo Lian as he strode over.

Crown Prince Mo reached out and pulled the little one into his arms, gently patting her back. "If I hadn't come, I would still be kept in the dark, finding out only now how these people are treating you behind my back."

"Greetings, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
