‘She seems more intelligent than her daughter,’ Yu Yunxi thought to herself with a hint of a smile on her face.
Madam Shang felt a little guilty when she met Yu Yunxi’s eyes.
‘Why is this little b*tch’s eyes so keen? I feel as though she can see through my thoughts…’
At this time, Old Madam Zhou walked out. In just a moment, she saw a few figures kneeling nearby.
‘Aren’t they my servants?’
Old Madam Zhou was dizzy with anger when she realized what was going on. She asked shrilly, “Who dares to punish my people?”
Yu Yunxi looked over and said indifferently, “I punished them.”
“You… You’re really domineering. I really wish the two Duchesses could see you now! You’re so vicious that you actually made your grandmother’s servants kneel at the door! You’re an embarrassment as the Eldest Princess!” Old Madam Zhou berated angrily.
“Oh, if you really think you haven’t been embarrassed enough tonight, you can ask the two Duchesses to come back. ” Yu Yunxi said nonchalantlv.
Old Madam Zhou felt like she had nowhere to vent her anger seeing how easily Yu Yunxi retorted. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she also realized now that it was useless for her to rely on her status as an elder to suppress Yu Yunxi.
‘This little b*tch is so unruly that she doesn’t care what others think of her!’
Old Madam Zhou took a deep breath before she said in a commanding tone, “You just returned to the capital not long ago so you don’t know anything about praying for blessings. Let Xiaoxiao follow you tomorrow.”
“Grandma!”
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned. She did not want to ride in Yu Yunxi’s carriage; she wanted to ride in the Crown Prince’s carriage.
Old Madam Zhou and Madam Shang ignored Yu Xiaoxiao. Although they disliked Yu Yunxi, they knew very well how useful Yu Yunxi’s status as the Eldest Princess was. It was not enough for Yu Xiaoxiao to be the Crown Prince’s side consort. If they could use Yu Yunxi as a stepping stone, Yu Xiaoxiao might have a higher chance of becoming the Crown Princess in the future. After all, the Crown Princess had not been appointed yet.
‘Yu Yunxi, that little b*tch, has a good relationship with the Emperor Emeritus.
If Xiaoxiao hangs out with her more, the Emperor Emeritus might help
Xiaoxiao. With that, the Empress will also value Xiaoxiao more…’
Although only a few moments had passed, Old Madam Zhou and Madam Shang had already thought of various ways to squeeze all the value out of Yu Yunxi.
Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi looked at them coldly. She naturally knew what they were thinking. She smiled mockingly and said, “My carriage is quite spacious. It doesn’t matter if there’s an extra person in the carriage.”
Old Madam Zhou sighed in relief when she heard this. She scoffed inwardly as she thought to herself, ‘Ha, this little b*tch is finally listening to me! She probably knows that she has gone too far before…’
However, Old Madam Zhou’s happiness did not last long.
In the next moment, Yu Yunxi said, “I think Sister Shuangshuang is very interesting. You can follow me to pray for blessings tomorrow.”
‘What? Yu Shuangshuang?’
Everyone turned to look back in unison.
Yu Shuangshuang was also shocked. When she sensed the gazes on her, she fidgeted uneasily, feeling anxious.
‘Cousin Sister suddenly said this… What on earth does she want to do?’
Old Madam Zhou said unhappily, “Yu Shuangshuan is the daughter of a concubine, and she’s as timid as a mouse! How can she go pray for blessings with the noble ladies of the capital?”
‘How could a grandmother belittle her granddaughter like this?’
Yu Shuangshuang’s eyes turned slightly red. She pursed her lips and quickly lowered her head, remaining silent.
“Grandmother, regardless of status, we’re all people of Xichu. There’s nothing wrong with the people of Xichu praying for Xichu. Moreover, she’s my cousin.
Who can say anything if she follows me to pray for blessings?” Yu Yunxi said in an unfriendly tone.
Old Madam Zhou’s body trembled in anger.
‘This Yu Yunxi is really lawless!’
Alas, with Yu Yunxi’s identity as the Eldest Princess, there was nothing Old
Madam Zhou could to do Yu Yunxi. Hence, she could only vent her anger on Yu Shuangshuang. She berated, “Yu Shuangshuang, look at your own identity.
Have some self-awareness! You’re just the daughter of a lowly concubine. Know your place, and don’t embarrass the King of Zhenbei’s Residence!”
Old Madam Zhou was threatening Yu Shuangshuang with her words. Since Yu Shuangshuang was so timid, she was sure that Yu Shuangshuang would not dare to disobey her.
Unexpectedly, Yu Shuangshuang raised her head at this time, revealing a pair of eyes that shone with indecipherable emotions, and said, “Grandmother, it’s an honor that the Eldest Princess wants me to accompany her to pray for blessings. How can I refuse?”
Yu Yunxi, who was standing at the side, could clearly see the undercurrent surging in Yu Shuangshuang’s eyes.
‘As expected, she’s not as simple as she seems…’
“You, you…”
Old Madam Zhou felt as though her wizened face had been slapped several times.
‘Even a concubine’s daughter dares to disobey me now!’
‘Come here!’ Old Madam Zhou called out angrily, intending to ask someone to teach Yu Shuangshuang a lesson.
However, Yu Yunxi interjected at this time. “Qian Qing, send Sister Shuangshuang back. ”
“Yes, Eldest Princess,” Qian Qing said before she walked toward Yu Shuangshuang.
Then, Yu Yunxi said frostily, “Before I leave tomorrow, I hope to see Sister Shuangshuang.”
This was a direct blow to Old Madam Zhou and the others.
Old Madam Zhou planned to teach Yu Shuangshuang a lesson later. Unexpectedly, Yu Yunxi was determined to protect Yu Shuangshuang. She was so angry that she was trembling all over. Alas, she was destined to be unable to vent her anger.
While Qian Qing escorted Yu Shuangshuang back, Yu Yunxi also made her way back to her courtyard.
Meng Xia could no longer hold back so she asked curiously, “Eldest Princess, why did you help Yu Shuangshuang?”
Yu Yunxi only said meaningfully, “She’s not as simple as she appears.” Meng Xia asked worriedly, “Will she do anything to hurt you?”
“We’ll see. It doesn’t matter if she protects herself using the right method.
However, if she uses the wrong method, I’ll deal with her accordingly,” Yu
Yunxi said.
“I understand, Eldest Princess,” Meng Xia said with a nod.
When Yu Xiaoxiao and Madam Shang returned to Clear Forest Courtyard, Yu Xiaoxiao smashed everything on the ground in a fit of anger.
“Mother! That b*tch is so hateful! Does she think I want to be with her? How dare she despise me! I can’t believe she’s helping Shuangshuang! Is she blind?”
“Alright, alright, calm down. If that little b*tch finds out that you’re so angry, she’ll definitely laugh,” Madam Shuang said as she stepped forward to stop Yu Xiaoxiao.
“Mother, if the Crown Prince didn’t ask me to get close to that b*tch, I wouldn’t have even looked at her face!” Yu Xiaoxiao said resentfully.
After a moment, Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly said in an increasingly shrill voice, “Mother, seeing how much the Crown Prince and the Empress value Yu Yunxi, do you think the position of Crown Princess…”
It was rare for Yu Xiaoxiao to be so smart. For once, she had guessed correctly..
