Chapter 5114: 5.0866 If You Don't Get Up, Then Don't Ever Get Up

Wang Xiazi, feigning injury on the ground, felt a chilling voice enter his ears, and his body involuntarily trembled twice. He found the person's voice somewhat terrifying, like a sharp blade that seemed capable of cutting through his body with sound alone.

He truly wanted to scramble up, but he felt a bit unwilling. Half an hour ago, he had done the same thing, lying in front of a lady's carriage, and easily earned thirty spirit coins. Looking at the grandeur of this carriage today, it was even more luxurious than that lady's. Shouldn't rich people like them be the most fearful of trouble and generous? When faced with such minor incidents, most would prefer to resolve the matter peacefully, give a few spirit coins, and send the person away.

Who knew that the next sentence from that icy voice would strike him like a bolt of lightning.

"If you don't get up, then don't ever get up," Mo Lian's voice was utterly devoid of emotion, giving the order without a hint of fluctuation.

Xiaoye chuckled, a cold glint in his eyes. He extended his leg and stepped on the rascal's shin. Two cracking sounds were heard immediately. The scoundrel instantly shed genuine tears, bawling and clutching his leg, rolling left and right, twisting and howling on the ground. This time, his wailing sounded much more real, as his leg was truly broken.

The women watching the spectacle were all startled and quickly retreated under the eaves.

Qiao Mu and Mo Lian emerged from the carriage, stepping down with expressionless faces. The onlookers, seeing them, were immediately awestruck, their gazes involuntarily fixed on the two. Wang Xiazi was completely forgotten. Poor Wang Xiazi, who had spent his life idling away, tricking and swindling people everywhere, suffered greatly today. The pain in his legs made him howl uncontrollably.

Qiao Mu asked with an impassive face, "Are these farming households not managed by anyone? Can just anyone move in if they wish?"

Upon seeing the little Crown Princess's expression, Xiaoye knew things were about to go south and quickly responded, "Your subordinate will go summon Steward Fang from Brocade Mountain Villa immediately."

These farmlands near Half-Moon Cliff should, by rights, be managed by Steward Fang and the head nannies. With such a scoundrel blocking the road and extorting people, they were naturally to blame.

However, Xiaoye didn't need to go inform them. Steward Fang, along with three or five trusted managing nannies, hurried over. Steward Fang was truly drenched in a cold sweat this time. When he received the news that the scoundrel Wang Xiazi had blocked the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's carriage, he immediately felt as if the sky was falling.

It was one thing for Wang Xiazi to cause trouble on normal days, but how could he be so blind today as to cause trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince and that young lady? How desperate for death could he be?

Qiao Mu's gaze was cold as she stared at Steward Fang, who was frequently wiping sweat from his brow. "Whose relative is this person? Step forward now."

"If no one steps forward to claim him now, the consequences will be yours once this palace investigates whose relative he is."

Steward Fang and his group couldn't help but shiver in unison. The last time they saw the little Crown Princess, there was no conflict, and the Crown Prince and his wife had only rested at Half-Moon Cliff for a short time. Therefore, strictly speaking, they, as servants, hadn't really had much contact with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

This time, they truly witnessed how terrifying these two were. Just seeing how Wang Xiazi was dealt with, thrashing and rolling on the ground, sent a chill through their hearts.

"No one stepping forward?" The little Crown Princess said coldly, her finger moving slightly.
