Chapter 5224: 5.0976 Leveraging Influence

Qiaomu nodded slightly. "I know."

She was just in a very bad mood seeing such things happen.

After all, just two days ago, someone had caused a scene at the hundred-day banquet because of her.

Thankfully, she managed to restrain herself from killing.

Otherwise, wouldn't it have been a bloody hundred-day banquet?

She slowly walked up to the two sobbing women and said coldly, "Get up."

Madam Xiao Bao shivered slightly, quickly crawled forward, shielding her daughter, and cried out repeatedly, "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, please appease your anger! It's already been three months, you can't let my beautiful daughter spend the rest of her life in a nunnery like this."

Madam Xiao Bao's outburst made it sound as if sending Fang Mingyue to the nunnery was Qiaomu's idea.

"This is His Majesty's decree," Qiaomu said coldly. "I think you mother and daughter are senile. Can't you even distinguish between His Majesty's decree and this Crown Princess's intention?"

His Majesty's decree isn't your decree?

Now that you're pregnant with the Dragon Heir, whatever you say goes.

Madam Xiao Bao angrily pouted, then quickly put on a smiling face and said with a fawning smile, "Crown Princess, it's not that this humble one wishes to overstep, but... His Majesty ordered my daughter to go to the nunnery for half a month of cultivation with hair. It's already been three months! Crown Princess, your anger should have subsided by now, shouldn't it?"

"Besides, Mingyue was disrespectful to you back then; it was her childish temper, she shouldn't have been like that. But, but three months have passed, and Mingyue has received her due punishment. You, you should forgive her."

Madam Xiao Bao, performing perfectly, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, crying and wailing, "Crown Princess. Mingyue is truly living a hard life at Ciyun Nunnery. Her three meals a day are thin white porridge, without even a single side dish. Why are you doing this, Crown Princess? Isn't this punishment enough?"

Wei Ziqin, protective of her daughter, angrily said, "Nonsense! Second Madam, what are you saying? Whether your daughter comes back or can come back, what does it have to do with the Crown Princess?"

"It wasn't the Crown Princess who ordered her to suffer in the nunnery!"

"Madam Qiao, do you think saying that is appropriate? If it weren't for the Crown Princess, would His Majesty have ordered Mingyue punished?" Madam Xiao Bao wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, looking heartbroken.

"Originally, His Majesty ordering Mingyue to stay in the nunnery for half a month was nothing. But now, it's already been three months!" Madam Xiao Bao continued to cry, performing perfectly. "Crown Princess, whatever you do, there must be a limit, mustn't there? This punishment also needs a deadline!"

"Shut up," the Little Crown Princess coldly reprimanded. "What do you intend to do?"

Madam Xiao Bao's eyes darted around, and she quickly put on a flattering expression. "This humble wife hopes that the Crown Princess will visit the Huainan Earl's Estate, personally explain this matter to the Madam, and bring my daughter back to the residence."

Wei Ziqin couldn't help but laugh in anger upon hearing this.

"You want the Crown Princess to send your daughter back to the Huainan Earl's Estate?"

"Do you think you have that much standing??"

Madam Xiao Bao was so angry that she almost spat blood upon hearing this.

Why wouldn't she have the standing? She was also the Second Madam of the Huainan Earl's Estate.

This whole thing was originally caused by the Crown Princess. Was it not right for her to ask the Crown Princess to send them mother and daughter back to the residence and explain it to the First Madam?

"Vixen!" Wei Ziqin finally understood everything at this point. Her face turned pale with anger as she pointed at Madam Xiao Bao and yelled.
