Chapter 5382: Flat Out Denial

"Impossible." Princess Zheng's voice trembled slightly as she abruptly turned and glared at Su Xitao. The fury in her eyes was like poisoned arrows, capable of instantly slaying and annihilating Su Xitao.

Su Xitao was so startled by Princess Zheng's demeanor that she shivered all over. She quickly tried to defend herself, "Sister-in-law, do you believe outsiders over your own family?"

Princess Zheng, naturally, had a thousand and one reasons not to trust Su Xitao. This sister of her husband's seemed to lower her own bottom line almost every day. You'd never know what even more horrifying and outrageous things this woman was capable of.

"Sister-in-law, I truly don't know what these things are." Before Su Xitao could finish her rebuttal, Princess Zheng delivered a sweeping, heavy slap that directly turned her face away.

"I warned the Prince before that if he didn't control you, sooner or later the entire Prince Zheng's residence would be ruined by you!"

"He wouldn't listen to me. Now look, retribution has come."

"Like father, like child." Princess Zheng's eyes blazed with cold light, filled with hatred and anger. "With such a selfish father, you, his daughter, wouldn't be much better."

Su Xitao trembled with rage, covering her face with one hand and pointing at Princess Zheng with the other. "You, you... you dare, you dare to hit me."

Princess Zheng took several steps forward, then swung her hand back for another heavy slap, landing directly on Su Xitao's other cheek. Su Xitao was struck so hard by Princess Zheng's slap that her body twisted and turned halfway backward before she fell to the ground.

"Princess Zheng, if you want to discipline someone, drag them out and do it. Don't dirty this Crown Princess's room," Qiao Mu said, holding her baby, her eyes extremely cold as she looked at Princess Zheng and Su Xitao. Her voice was filled with endless chill.

Princess Zheng, Shi Yongyan, trembled slightly inside. She quickly turned and bowed to Qiao Mu, then composed herself. "Crown Princess, please forgive me. This concubine was rude."

Immortal Huang He tossed the Basic Mutation Liquid onto the table, then turned to Su Xitao, directly questioning her, "You brought these things here, surely intending to harm someone, didn't you?" It was just a pity this person tried to show off her meager skills before Qiao Qiao; it was simply self-humiliation.

"Don't slander me," Su Xitao bit her lip, yelling in anger. "I, I had no idea what these things were."

"It's just that before I left home today, I ran into an old cleaning woman in the courtyard who was fiddling with these medicine bottles. Out of curiosity, I went over and asked her a bit."

Now, thinking about it, all of this must have been a setup by someone else for her. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that she met such a gloomy, sullen old woman just as she was about to leave, and learned from her that the poisons in these medicine bottles, no matter which one was used, just a tiny bit would be enough to kill that mother and son?

Her hatred for that btch (Qiao Mu) was undeniable; she wished she could bite her flesh and swallow her blood. But Su Xitao also knew very well that the distance between her and Qiao Mu was probably thousands of mountains away. She feared that in this life, she could only look up to that person. Before, she had been beaten for nothing, and scolded for nothing. Especially now, that btch had given birth to a little imperial grandson so smoothly, and the Emperor, in his joy, even granted a grand amnesty. It was clear how much he doted on the little imperial grandson. This b*tch's status had soared with her child; no one would ever be able to shake her position again.
