Chapter 5225: 5.0977 Questionable Motives

"You vile woman! Your lady of the house expelled you and your daughter, refusing you entry, so you come to our Qiao Manor."

"You want to use the Crown Princess's name to send you mother and daughter back to your residence?"

"You've truly played a shrewd game!"

Wei Ziqin cursed repeatedly, pointing at Madam Xiao Bao and spitting, "Don't show your ugly face here! What do you think you are? You actually have the audacity to come to our door and ask the Crown Princess to save face for you two?!"

Madam Xiao Bao was left crestfallen by her tirade.

But Fang Mingyue on the side couldn't help but say angrily, "Shouldn't she? I've suffered for so many months in the nunnery, and it's all because of..."

Fang Mingyue's cry was quickly muffled by Madam Xiao Bao, who pounced forward and covered her mouth with her hand.

On the way here, she had repeatedly warned her daughter not to clash with the Little Crown Princess again.

Otherwise, did she really intend to live in the nunnery for the rest of her life?

Who knew her daughter was still so impulsive, and in an unguarded moment, almost caused another mess.

If they started a quarrel with the Crown Princess now, there would absolutely be no good outcome for the mother and daughter.

Especially since the Little Crown Princess was so heavily pregnant now; if she were to get hurt somewhere, and they blamed it on the mother and daughter...

Madam Xiao Bao couldn't help but shiver, almost not daring to continue thinking.

If the Dragon Heir were to be harmed, it was highly likely that the entire Huainan Earl's Estate would face execution.

Perhaps the wicked First Madam would indeed be proven right, and even the dog at their doorstep might not be spared.

Thinking of this, Madam Xiao Bao shivered again, quickly pulling her daughter and putting on a fawning smile as she looked at Wei Ziqin and her group.

"Madam Qiao," Madam Xiao Bao said with a smile, "Why are we... why are we arguing and bickering like this? Actually, actually, this was originally a very small matter, hah."

"You shut up," Wei Ziqin now didn't want to see the woman in front of her for a second longer.

This vile woman actually wanted her daughter to humble herself and save face for them. What did she take her daughter for? What did she take herself for?!

Her daughter, a dignified Crown Princess, going to send a concubine and illegitimate daughter back to the Huainan Earl's Estate—what would that make her?

Madam Xiao Bao really dared to think and act!

Her abacus was clanging loudly, and Wei Ziqin wished she could just walk up and slap the woman twice.

Reason told her to be calm and composed, to maintain the dignified and virtuous demeanor of the Qiao Manor's Madam and the Crown Princess's mother, but in reality, she just wanted to tear apart the fool in front of her.

Little Lin'er also wanted to kick the mother and daughter, but Qiaomu held her back.

The Little Crown Princess said indifferently, "We don't need to do anything. Someone will come and deal with them."

Madam Xiao Bao, clutching her daughter, shivered.

The word "deal with" uttered from the Little Crown Princess's mouth sounded as if... they were treated like trash, to be discarded anywhere, anytime.

Terrifying!

Madam Xiao Bao quickly pulled her daughter, contemplating how to continue her act.

Just then, a servant rushed in from outside to report, "Madam, Crown Princess. The Huainan Earl's Madam and Eldest Miss have arrived."

"Clang." Madam Xiao Bao slumped onto the doorstep, paralyzed with fright.

Immediately after, she felt a heavy kick to her lower back, and she stumbled forward uncontrollably, almost falling face first.

The Huainan Earl's Madam and Fang Liuying had arrived in a hurry.

From the Huainan Earl's Madam's appearance, she was so anxious that she even forgot to put on her cloak.
