Chapter 5165: 5.0917 She's Completely Finished

"Dad, Big Brother, boo-hoo-hoo." Su Xitao, aching all over, lay on the bed, crying and pounding the bed, screaming, "I don't care, I've been beaten into such a miserable state, I hurt all over! Big Brother, you must do justice for me."

Old man Su He also gritted his teeth and said, "A'Kang, you must give your sister an explanation for this matter."

"Explanation? Father-in-law, you want the Prince to give Su Xitao an explanation. What is the Prince supposed to explain? And with what?"

"Can the Prince take a sword, climb over the wall to the East Palace, and beat the Crown Princess right under the Crown Prince's nose? Or can he carry a whip and rush before His Majesty and the Empress to demand an explanation?"

From the side came Prince Zheng's Consort, Shi Yongyan's, cold sneer. "Su Xitao, you ask your big brother to do justice for you, but who can do justice for your big brother?"

"Big Sister-in-law!"

"The Emperor said that the Marquis of Huainan's household management is lax, his home is chaotic, and if he can't even manage his household, let alone his ability to handle court affairs. Now, the Emperor has personally decreed to fine the Marquis of Huainan's salary. Not only that, but he also ordered the Marquis of Huainan not to attend court for half a month."

"That lawless girl from the Marquis of Huainan's family, do you know what happened to her?"

"She was directly sent by the imperial family to Ciyun Nunnery to practice asceticism with her hair shorn! The Emperor's words were clear: if she doesn't learn her manners and rid herself of that aggressive aura, she shouldn't return to the capital, understand? It's not return to the capital!"

"You think the Emperor doesn't want to punish you. But you're somewhat intelligent, not directly laying hands on the Crown Princess. So, the Emperor couldn't find a reason to punish you."

"But your brother, your big brother, has been implicated because of you. Even the imperial inspection mission to Guangnan City that he was originally assigned has been revoked by the Emperor, and other imperial envoys have been sent instead."

"Enough!" Mo Xikang roared in a deep voice, stopping Prince Zheng's Consort Shi Yongyan's incessant words.

Shi Yongyan couldn't help but sneer, glancing at Su Xitao, who was pounding the bed and wailing, barely concealing her contempt and disdain.

"Do you think that Second Young Lady from the Marquis of Huainan's family will have a good life from now on?"

"She offended the Crown Princess. Now, her unruly temper is known throughout the capital. Do you think she can find a good husband's family in the future? Which family would marry such a girl? A woman ordered by the Emperor to go to Ciyun Nunnery to practice asceticism with her hair shorn, to sincerely seek goodness and rid herself of her aggressive aura—who else would dare to want her?? She is completely finished!"

"Have you said enough!" Mo Xikang roared.

"Big Sister-in-law, I know, you just dislike our family, don't you? You think that when our family returned, we divided your property in the Prince's estate."

"You've always disliked our family. You think we're outsiders and shouldn't come to compete with you for the Prince's estate's gold, silver, and jewels, and shouldn't come back to annoy you, right?"

"But I am Big Brother's biological sister, after all. Before you say such hurtful things, have you ever considered that I am your sister-in-law, Big Brother's biological sister?"

"Heh, I'm just stating the truth. If anything I said was unpleasant, little sister, please forgive me." Prince Zheng's Consort couldn't help but sneer.

"I know, Big Sister-in-law has never considered us family."

"Little sister, what are you saying? You are the Prince's biological sister, how could the Prince not care for you? The Consort certainly wouldn't have such a thought." A gentle voice emerged from the midst of the crying, wailing, and various other chaotic sounds.
