Chapter 5161: 5.0913 Unforgivable

Mo Kun couldn't care less now. He was already unlucky enough; he had to drag a few even unluckier people down with him. As long as he successfully diverted his elder brother's attention to others, who cared who got screwed over! As long as he was fine.

"Greetings, Crown Princess." The Marquis of Huainan approached Qiao Mu with a complicated expression and bowed. Just from the Crown Prince of Jianping's performance, he had a good understanding of this Crown Princess. She was not someone easy to provoke, otherwise, why would she scare the Crown Prince of Jianping so badly that he fled in a panic? Moreover… who among the officials around him now weren't influential figures in court? Yet they all respectfully stepped forward to greet her, their faces smiling as if bathed in spring breeze, all extremely polite to the Crown Princess. From this, it was clear that this expressionless little Crown Princess was quite formidable.

The Marquis of Huainan's heart was in turmoil. He looked down at Lady Xiao Bao and his second daughter, who were sobbing uncontrollably, and cautiously began, "Crown Princess, please forgive me. My young daughter is still young and doesn't understand etiquette, and for some unknown reason, she offended the Crown Princess."

"Lord!" Lady Xiao Bao embraced her daughter, weeping bitterly. "Lord, you must save us, mother and daughter! Madam is trying to force us to our deaths!"

The Marquis of Huainan coldly glanced at the First Madam, Lady Liu. The latter, however, showed no fear of his cold gaze, seemingly long accustomed to the Marquis of Huainan's attitude. She also replied coldly, "Lord is unaware. When this Madam arrived just now, I saw Second Miss punching and kicking the Crown Princess through a defensive wall. I ask you, is this the demeanor of a subject? Is this the upbringing from the Second Concubine of our Marquis of Huainan's residence?"

The Marquis of Huainan was stunned by the First Madam's retort, speechless for a long time. Finally, he just said dryly, "But you don't have to… beat them, mother and daughter, to death."

"Lord, it's not me saying this, but there has to be a limit to spoiling your daughter. Outsiders who don't know might think this Madam doesn't know how to teach illegitimate daughters. But they don't know that in our Marquis of Huainan's residence, illegitimate daughters are raised under their concubine mothers' care, and even the Madam can't interfere or make decisions."

"Madam!" Lady Xiao Bao cried out in anger and urgency.

"Did I say something wrong?" The First Madam, Lady Liu, sneered. "Today, Fang Mingyue dared to be so presumptuous and offend the Crown Princess. It's all the fault of Lord and Second Concubine's indulgence."

"Lord, look at what Madam is saying." Lady Xiao Bao was overcome with anger, clutching her chest and repeatedly crying, "How can this be the disaster caused by Lord and me spoiling her? It's clearly…"

"Clearly what?" The First Madam couldn't help but sneer. This stupid woman, is she perhaps trying to push all the blame onto the little Crown Princess? She's too foolish, too hopeless.

"Alright, stop arguing." The Marquis of Huainan, Fang Xianguan, felt his face burning with shame. With so many official colleagues present, his own family was presenting such a chaotic scene of discord between wife and concubine, with chickens flying and dogs barking. Where was his dignity as the Marquis of Huainan supposed to go?

"Crown Princess." The Marquis of Huainan bowed to the stoic Crown Princess. "Please, for the sake of Grand Consort Fang, forgive my daughter's momentary fit of anger."

The little Crown Princess crisply declared, "Unforgivable."

Wei Ziqin covered her mouth with a handkerchief, letting out a light cough to hide the laughter that almost escaped. Her own daughter looked rather adorable, and then looking at the second young lady kneeling on the ground, disheveled and miserable, she felt even more disgusted.
