Chapter 5143: 5.0895 Collision?

If these people just didn't provoke her, couldn't everyone get along well? She wasn't some manic patient who had to stir up trouble everywhere, right? In fact, most of the time, she wasn't the one who actively sought trouble. However, if others insisted on provoking her, she certainly wouldn't back down.

Wei Ziqin smiled and patted her daughter's small hand. She knew her daughter best; this child was actually the easiest person to get along with. As long as you didn't provoke her casually, she wouldn't bother you for a hundred years. From childhood, she had always been this passive, not good at initiating friendships. Yet, once provoked, her retaliation was quite fierce. Her youngest daughter, Liner, had, perhaps due to influence over the years, also developed a temperament of "if others offend me, I will surely cut them down."

"Madam." The coachman returned through the rain, quietly reporting through the window to Wei Ziqin, "This humble one has found out. It was the illegitimate daughter of Assistant Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Justice; her carriage collided with Princess Tao's carriage."

"Currently, the Second Concubine of the Marquis of Huainan's residence, along with some maids and nannies, is handling the matter. It might take some more time. Madam and the Crown Princess, please feel at ease staying in the carriage. Once the road ahead is clear, you can enter the residence."

Qiao Mu slightly frowned. "How did it collide?"

"It seems Princess Tao's carriage wanted to overtake and accidentally collided with the illegitimate daughter of Assistant Minister Zhang's carriage. Princess Tao's carriage overturned, and the Princess was quite startled."

"Princess?" Qiao Mu looked puzzled. "The Imperial family only has three princesses from top to bottom. Princess Wushuang is known throughout the country."

"The other two are Princess Shengping, the daughter of Princess Hongyao, who married far away to Cangzhou five years ago. The other is Princess Fufu, the youngest granddaughter of the Grand Princess, who is nine years old this year. She has been in poor health since childhood, never attends various banquets, and is kept hidden from public view in the inner chambers." The Mo Imperial family rarely had princesses with enfeoffments or territories.

So who was this Princess Tao?

The coachman was startled and said, "This old servant heard the Second Concubine repeatedly call her Princess Tao. Oh, right, that one is the Princess of Prince Zheng's estate."

At this, Qiao Mu remembered. "So it's her."

"Daughter, who is she?" Wei Ziqin asked, full of curiosity.

"She's mentally ill," Qiao Mu said, her tone mocking. Prince Zheng, Mo Xikang, wasn't very mentally sound either. In any case, his entire Prince Zheng household didn't seem like normal people.

Wei Ziqin, hearing her daughter say this, knew that this so-called Princess Tao definitely wouldn't gain her daughter's approval.

"This Princess Tao, she…"

"She's not a princess at all," Qiao Mu scoffed. "She's just Mo Xikang's sister." Seeing her mother's confused expression, Qiao Mu uncharacteristically educated her. "Mo Xikang is His Majesty's adopted son. His old father and sister's family returned to Prince Zheng's estate after he rose to prominence."

At this explanation, Wei Ziqin immediately understood, nodding. "So that's how it is. Then this Princess Tao?"

"Heh, that's what some people presumptuously call themselves!" Qiao Mu couldn't help but roll her eyes. She truly hadn't expected that Su Xitao, who had been reprimanded by the Crown Prince for improper conduct before, would still dare to wave the banner of Prince Zheng's estate and brazenly call herself a princess.

"I really…" Qiao Mu shook her head, speechless. "I've never seen such a shameless woman."
