Chapter 5012: 5.0764 If I Let Her Go, Who Will Let Me Go?

Duan Yue was about to open his mouth to remind Qiao Qiao when he heard the Marquis of Anxing angrily roar, "Does the Crown Princess still remember Xiang Chang!"

The little Crown Princess was pondering where she might have seen this person. Startled by his shout, she subconsciously raised her hand to pat her stomach and retorted angrily, "Why are you yelling? Do you think being loud makes you right?" Startling Lord Qiao Qiao, truly a crazy person. "Your so-called daughter, I've never even seen her! Are you sick?"

Duan Yue's lips twitched. He really wanted to interrupt and tell the indignant Marquis of Anxing, You keep saying Xiang Chang, Xiang Chang, but the little Crown Princess truly doesn't remember who's who. You need to talk about what happened between them to jog her memory...

Many times, the little Crown Princess couldn't match faces to names. She had face blindness since childhood, which improved slightly as she grew older, but her memory was truly terrible! So, on another note, it was truly difficult for someone to be fortunate enough to be recognized and remembered by the little Crown Princess...

"Cough."

The little Crown Princess looked back at Duan Yue, eyeing him curiously. Why does this guy have such a conflicted expression?

The Marquis of Anxing, having no understanding of the little stoic, simply assumed she was shamelessly denying having harmed Xiang Chang in front of the Emperor. Immediately, he burst into tears and cried, "Qiao Mu, how can you be so shameless, daring to do something but not daring to admit it?"

"You and my daughter Xiang Chang merely had a small dispute during a trial, yet you insisted on making it a life-or-death matter. On Xiang Chang's way back to Cangzhou, you ambushed and even brutally murdered her."

"You monstrous woman! Do you know that when my daughter's body was transported back to the manor, there was hardly a single intact piece of flesh on her?!" A chilling light gleamed in the Marquis of Anxing's eyes. "Is it wrong for me to avenge my daughter by killing you?"

"Previously, when I pleaded with the Late Emperor, he was unwilling to help me seek justice. But now... I can only resolve this myself."

Duan Yue couldn't help but want to retort to the Marquis of Anxing, The Late Emperor helping you deal with the Crown Princess? That would be utterly bizarre. Could the Late Emperor's influence even reach Shenzhou to stir up trouble? Just for one Xiang Chang, Cangzhou would have to go to war with Shenzhou? Is only your daughter's life precious, while the lives of countless common people suffering from the ravages of war are not? Forget it, he was too lazy to mock him; he wouldn't live much longer anyway.

The Marquis of Anxing repeatedly muttered about ambushing Xiang Chang on her way back to Cangzhou, finally making a broken connection in the little Crown Princess's mind. She frowned and scrutinized him from head to toe. "That alchemist from Royal Academy?"

The little Crown Princess's eyes turned cold. "During the training in Fengmu Forest, as soon as she recovered her spiritual power, she summoned a Three-Colored Spirit Magpie to attack us, injuring Little Fatty, trying to take my life?"

The Marquis of Anxing retorted, "My daughter has already paid the price for her willful actions. She has been expelled from the academy, hasn't she? Why are you still unwilling to let her go?"

"What is wrong with me eliminating those who harbor malice towards me?"

"If I let her go, who will let me go?"

"Are you sure that with her temper, she wouldn't go back and complain to you? Wouldn't she cry and beg you for help?"

"Would she change her ways from then on and stop bothering me?" the little stoic asked coldly. "I had no grievances with her originally, but she, being muddle-headed, insisted on constantly seeking trouble with me."

"When she lacked the ability herself and was dealt with by my hand, you come here crying for injustice. Indeed, with a father like you to stand up for her, you can tolerate, love, and indulge her in anything she does."
