Chapter 5226: 5.0978 Seeking Death

Stepping through the gate, she took the opportunity to kick the unruly Madam Xiao Bao, venting the anger in her chest.

Fang Liuying immediately paid her respects to the Crown Princess and Madam Qiao upon entering.

After greeting them, the Huainan Earl's Madam quickly took Wei Ziqin's hand and said, "Sister Qin, it's all my fault for not properly disciplining the concubines in my estate, letting those two run over and disturb your family's peace."

Wei Ziqin's expression finally softened when she saw the Huainan Earl's Madam. "Madam, you exaggerate. However, these mother and daughter, coming to my Qiao Manor's gate early in the morning, kneeling, crying, and wailing, indeed caused my family great trouble."

"Furthermore, these two mother and daughter even wanted the Crown Princess to escort them back to their residence, which is truly... unreasonable."

The Huainan Earl's Madam was fuming. She turned and snapped at a group of burly nannies, "What are you still standing there for? Why aren't you carrying them away immediately?"

"All of you are so clueless!" The Huainan Earl's Madam scolded harshly. "Just a child born of a concubine, yet she dares to beg for the Crown Princess's grace, shamelessly asking someone to escort you back to the residence?"

"You deserve to be a nun for life, a disgraceful thing!"

Madam Xiao Bao trembled with anger and shrieked, "Sister, what you're saying is too heartless. Mingyue is, after all, an illegitimate daughter of the Fang family, the Master's biological daughter. Ah, what are you doing? Let go, let, let go!..."

Madam Xiao Bao hadn't finished speaking when several old nannies seized her arms and forcefully lifted her up.

Qiaomu observed coldly, saying nothing much.

Little Lin'er secretly cursed "serves her right," glaring fiercely at Madam Xiao Bao and her daughter.

What kind of people were they, coming to someone's door early in the morning to wail like at a funeral? Truly uncultured and infuriating.

Fang Mingyue was twisted and lifted up as well.

She cried out in fright, "What are you doing? What are you doing?"

Didn't Mother say this plan would definitely work?

Mother said that as long as they, mother and daughter, knelt at the Qiao Manor and forced the Crown Princess to speak and send them back to the Huainan Earl's Estate, it would surely succeed.

But now, why was it going against their wishes, and even completely the opposite?

Where was the First Madam taking them, mother and daughter?

Madam Xiao Bao also panicked. As the two nannies carried her out, she shouted repeatedly, "What are you doing, what are you doing, Sister. Sister, where are you taking us?"

"Where?" The Huainan Earl's Madam sneered. "To where you belong."

Madam Xiao Bao immediately cowered, crying tearfully, "Sister, you can't do this! There's still law in this world! You can't arbitrarily enforce family rules and kill us mother and daughter!"

"If Master finds out later, he definitely won't let you off. Ah, ow." Madam Xiao Bao was secretly pinched by the nannies, so painful that tears burst from her eyes.

The Huainan Earl's Madam sneered, "Don't worry, I guarantee that you two, mother and daughter, will live well in the nunnery for the next few years."

This meant there was no way out!

Madam Xiao Bao almost fainted upon hearing this.

Her beautiful, blooming daughter was going to spend the rest of her days in a nunnery—how could that be allowed?!

"Take them away," the Huainan Earl's Madam roared angrily, then turned and took Wei Ziqin's hand. "Sister Qin, rest assured, I promise this time I will send people to watch over them, mother and daughter, and won't let them out to cause trouble again."
