Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shii crossed the threshold and entered the flower hall, observing the four won inside, their faces all darkened. She felt a sense of satisfaction deep within her.
She couldn’t help but think to herself, ‘Well, I’ve certainly asserted my authority!’
“Shii, how dare you speak like that?”
Madam Zhang, seeing her eldest daughter-in-law’s displeasure, adopted a stern expression and scolded Liu Shii. However, she had forgotten that the present Liu Shii was not soone who could tolerate being scolded.
Liu Shii tilted her head, saying, “Madam Zhang, your words are quite strange. Did I say sothing wrong? Am I not the designated Princess of Dun Yu? Hasn’t Cousin Wan’er long been betrothed to her fiance? Isn’t that a prearranged marriage?”
Madam Zhang was suddenly rendered speechless.
“Liu Shii! What does it have to do with you whether I agree to the engagent or not?” Wan’er, infuriated, stood up suddenly, shrieking, “Mind your own business! You’ve married a fool, and you think you’ve found a treasure, don’t you?”
She kept calling him a ‘fool, fool, fool’… Liu Shii’s eyes turned cold. Her lips curved down, and she retorted, “The fiance you’ve agreed to marry is just a young gentleman from the household of the Minister of Personnel, indeed having nothing to do with . But, Cousin Wan’er, who my fiance is, doesn’t seem to concern you either, does it? The things you were talking about just now, weren’t those ddling in soone else’s business?”
No matter how you looked at it, Zhang Wan’er had indeed said a lot of insulting words to Liu Shii. Even if Liu Yan’er wanted to help her, she couldn’t. No, it’s not that she didn’t want to help, but she didn’t dare to!
After all, she didn’t want to offend Liu Shii in the slightest now!
In case Liu Shii caused trouble, it might really strip her of the crown princess position. The incident with Yu Wanqing was still fresh in her mory – it was a lesson from the past!
Moreover, her parents had warned her repeatedly not to provoke Liu Shii, so she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction for the ti being.
Of course, once she beca the crown princess, everything would be different!
When Liu Shii retorted so sharply, Madam Zhang recalled the warnings that Liu Fuyun had given her multiple tis about Liu Shii’s powerful connections. She cleared her throat and said, “Shii, it has been a long ti since Wan’er and you t. It’s natural for her to have so misunderstandings. Shii, please forgive her.”
Zhang Wan’er looked at her incredulously and asked, “Aunt, I spoke the truth. Why do I need her forgiveness?”
Her mother, Madam Wei, frowned and said, “Wan’er, you can’t be too aggressive when the Eldest Young Miss is so assertive.”
Liu Shii snorted.
Won from humble families really had no foresight!
They only cared about the present, without thinking about how they would fare in the future!
No worries, she would teach them how to behave!
She looked at Madam Zhang and said, “Madam Zhang, when diating, one should be impartial. I believe you have learned this lesson quite well.”
Exaggerating a sigh, she added with a regretful tone, “I hope Madam Zhang understands the gravity of the situation. If I’m provoked, I might have to go back and tell my father… I might reconsider the agreent we made!”
Madam Zhang clenched her teeth!
How could she forget that lesson?
How could she not know that Liu Shii was as unmanageable as a hedgehog?
How could she not know that the Grand Chancellor had repeatedly instructed her to be respectful and keep her distance from Liu Shii?
In the end, she forced herself to say, her teeth almost grinding to powder, “Enough, enough. Young ladies arguing among themselves, let them argue. Let them resolve their own fights. We, as elders, should act like elders.”
Liu Shii’s lips curved into a smile, and she glanced at Zhang Wan’er before saying, “Now that I’ve t everyone, I’ll take my leave!”
She turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingxi grabbed her arm and said, “Cousin Shii, please don’t leave yet!”
