Chapter 4016: 4.1616 Backing

The little Crown Princess was inexplicably led out by her husband. Before leaving, she looked curiously at the young and old mammies and palace maids around the Empress in the central palace.

What were they... looking at her with such sympathetic gazes for?

Little did the Crown Princess know that, through the Crown Prince's elaborate explanations, these people had already conjured up scene after scene of the little Crown Princess's desolate and bullied existence.

One old mammy even wiped away tears, full of emotion...

This was truly a magnificent little misunderstanding.

In the Emperor's Imperial Study.

Mo Liusheng looked at the incessantly weeping old woman, his face aching.

Princess Yan Yun accompanied Empress Dowager Chen, looking utterly awkward, unsure how to comfort the grief-stricken old woman.

Ever since she received news an hour ago that all the old mammies she sent to the Eastern Palace had been beaten to death by the Crown Prince, the Empress Dowager had almost fainted from rage.

Clinging to a sliver of strength, the Empress Dowager came to seek justice from the Emperor, crying and weeping twice in front of Mo Liusheng, giving the Emperor an unbearable headache.

Just thinking of his troublesome son, he couldn't help but want to call him over and scold him.

Since you've tormented the old lady, why not just intimidate her all the way through? Look at the situation now; the old lady has come to make a scene in front of him!

"Empress arrives."

"Crown Prince and Crown Princess arrive."

Two consecutive announcements made the unprepared Mo Liusheng and Empress Dowager Chen's hearts subtly jump at the same time.

Especially Empress Dowager Chen, her eyes immediately narrowed.

She had experienced the Empress's daughter-in-law's unreliable temper back then; hmph, it might even be worse than the Crown Princess's.

Since she awoke, the Empress Dowager had repeatedly tried to summon the Empress, but the Emperor had always blocked it, citing his wife's recent recovery and unsuitability for public appearances.

Meeting in the Imperial Study now was truly unexpected.

Mo Liusheng and the old lady, however, had completely different feelings.

As soon as he heard his wife had arrived with the two little rascals, he knew those two little rascals definitely had ill intentions. They must have run off to invite his wife to back them up.

It was unbelievable that those two could be so cunning.

Mo Liusheng expressionlessly looked up at the three people entering the doorway. His previously stern face couldn't help but soften slightly when he saw his wife.

He hurriedly walked out from behind his desk, greeted Bai Wuxia, then turned to glare at Mo Lian with annoyance, admonishing, "Your mother hasn't fully recovered yet. How could such a small matter disturb even your mother?"

"If I hadn't come, who knows how my daughter-in-law would have been slandered and bullied," Bai Wuxia retorted, giving her husband a side-eye.

The Emperor looked a bit bewildered, glancing suspiciously at the little deadpan.

What did those two tell his wife? Why was his wife looking so protective of the little pitiful one...

With their arrogant and unreasonable temperaments, how could anyone bully them?

Was there a huge misunderstanding here?

"Wuxia," Mo Liusheng said, pulling her small hand, trying to smooth things over with a chuckle, "How could that be?"

His little dumpling wife wasn't someone easy to deal with!

His own wife was being kept in the dark by the two rascals, even thinking those two were good people...

What a headache.

Bai Wuxia impatiently pushed away the Emperor's hand, then turned to the enraged Empress Dowager Chen. "It has been many years since I last saw the Empress Dowager. Seeing you today, your grace remains undiminished."

Empress Dowager Chen's lips twitched in a fake smile.
