Chapter 5154: 5.0906 Very Sensible
Su Xitao's knees were aching from kneeling, but the little Crown Princess hadn't told her to rise. So, she could only remain stiffly half-bent, her face half-frozen. The rage in her heart truly surged straight to her head.
However, Qiao Mu found Su Xitao even more irritating. The earlier commotion was all due to this woman's tantrums. Qiao Mu was now utterly exasperated by Su Xitao and just wanted her to shut up.
Su Xitao squatted until her legs went numb, and still, she didn't hear Qiao Mu tell her to rise. A rush of blood immediately surged to her head. The sense of grievance in her heart was unstoppable. In Prince Zheng's estate, who dared to show her any disrespect? All the servants in the mansion called her Princess Tao, their faces full of flattery, didn't they? How could she, just by stepping into this Marquis of Huainan's residence, be so despised? Not only was her treatment different from others upon entering, but she was also beaten by the Crown Princess's subordinates at the gate. Now, this damned Crown Princess saw her and started picking faults again. She had already humbled herself and bowed to her like this, what more did she want? Was she trying to defy the heavens?!
In her extreme anger, Su Xitao's mind went blank for a moment. Furious, she immediately stood up straight and roared, "You're deliberately targeting me, aren't you?"
"Audacious!" Cai Xiu was also greatly angered by this woman. In these times, there truly weren't many people daring enough to be so presumptuous in front of the little Crown Princess.
Many noble young ladies from various families simultaneously retreated several steps, all of them uniformly cowering on either side of the path, their eyes inexplicably showing a hint of terror.
"Cr-Crown Princess, this humble servant just remembered there are some trivial matters back at the estate that haven't been handled. This servant will take her leave first."
"Crown Princess, this humble servant as well…"
Having learned from past experience, no one dared to remain there, waiting to watch the little Crown Princess's "show."
Because everyone present understood perfectly well that watching a spectacle wasn't worth risking their lives; the fire, they knew, could unpredictably spread and burn them at any moment. Not every spectacle could be observed blindly. At least, they didn't dare to casually observe the spectacle involving this Crown Princess… They might just end up unlucky, along with that brainless Miss Su.
The little Crown Princess "hmm-ed" expressionlessly, but the many noble ladies reacted as if they had received a great pardon, retreating one after another. Just as they were about to exit, they heard Fang Mingyue's exasperated roar from behind, "What are you doing?!"
"Are you all that afraid of the Crown Princess? Are all the young ladies present so timid that you don't even dare to speak a word of justice?"
The noble ladies exchanged glances, simultaneously sighing inwardly. Oh, please! Miss Fang, you're fearless and want to team up with Princess Tao to deal with the little Crown Princess, then you go do it yourselves, don't drag us innocent people into this, alright?
"Now, it's clearly the Crown Princess bullying others by relying on her power! And you still don't dare to speak a word of justice??"
Fang Mingyue, also enraged, stood up straight, stomping her feet repeatedly as she angrily said, "I don't know how Mingyue has offended the Crown Princess, making you dislike Mingyue so much that you would punish us with kneeling the moment you arrived."
Qiao Mu slightly raised her small chin.
Cai Xiu and Cai Qi understood instantly. They quickly stepped forward, and without a word, one kicked Fang Mingyue behind the knee, while the other kicked Su Xitao behind the knee. Both acted identically. And the actions of Fang Mingyue and Su Xitao, as they were suddenly kicked to their knees, were also identically synchronized.
