Chapitre 59: Schemes Within Schemes 3
As Hongyue's piercing wails reverberated throughout the hall, even Concubine Ruolan could help but stare in disbelief. The damn girl was crying as if she was dying. Rolls of tears flowed out endlessly like she had an ocean behind her eyes, and she didn't seem to be stopping soon. As the second concubine looked about, not one eye was on her. They were all focused on the wailing eldest miss. The concubine was stuck in a tight situation.
On the other hand, she could continue to cry, but at this point, she would just be wasting her tears. However, if she wanted to regain the attention she wanted, she would have to sob louder. But if she got to that point: wouldn't people call her petty for crying louder than a child?
Concubine Ruolan could only awkwardly dry her tear dainty as her eyes filled with hatred turned to Hongyue. However, Hongyue continued to cry louder, this time pointing her fingers at the second madam.
Qingyu, who was kneeling, had a hard time to keep from laughing. This girl was just so crafty dealing with everyone. He felt better that it wasn't just him that suffered under her hands.
"General Wei. Don't tell me, you bullying my fiance is your way of giving justice," The Crown Prince remarked mockingly as he crossed his legs. His fingers tapped on the table, and his eyes were threatening.
General Wei helplessly denied the Crown Prince's accusation and gestured for nearby servants to get the eldest miss a chair. Hongyue stubbornly refused their help and remained on the ground.
"Father! This daughter has been greatly wronged. If you want this daughter to get up, Concubine Ruolan must first admit her faults."
How bold!
A collective gasp could be heard, and even the Crown Prince looked surprised. Wasn't this miss supposed to be timid and afraid?
The general frowned.
Hongyue tilted her head to show off the harsh slap mark and pointed to the dried line of blood on her chin, "Second Madam did a lot worse, yet I'm only asking for her to admit her wrongdoing. Is it too much to ask of her?!"
"Nonsense! What wrong did I do?!" The second concubine screeched.
Hongyue looked annoyed, "Since Second Madam is so forgetful, it can't be helped. Hongyue is stupid, but her memory isn't bad, so let me remind you. Thief, liar, fraud, and attempted murder!"
Another collective gasp sounded from the guests, and Concubine Ruolan paled. W-when did this brat become such a good talker? She bit her lip and tested her luck.
"Lord Husband, we've been husband and wife for so many years, how can you watch me being slandered like this? Do you really believe her words? She... she... doesn't even have the average capacity to comprehend. There must be someone who taught her to say these words. After all, she's too stupid."
The general nodded. After all, these words were reasonable and very realistic. Perhaps his enemy was using this daughter of his to ruin his chance of climbing into higher powers. He looked gravely at Hongyue. If this eldest miss is a pawn used by the enemy, then he'll have to get rid of her.
Hongyue sneered.
Looks like this second madam is very skillful indeed. With a few tears and a couple of words, she managed to turn around Hongyue's words to use against her. No wonder her mother was killed off. Who could live with a threat like this stalking you? It's too bad the person she went against was Hongyue.
Fine, if you call me stupid, I'll show you stupid.
"This stupid miss is indeed too stupid. This stupid miss's brain can't remember names, faces, or what others tell the stupid me to do, and I'm too stupid to even make up stupid lies! After all, I'm too stupid, what can I stupidly do?" Hongyue retorted.
A chuckle fell from one of the guests, and the crowd of minsters soon followed, roaring in laughter. The Crown Prince had his eyebrows raised in interest. A tiny smile broke out on Qingyu's lips. This girl was too good at infuriating others. Her words threw the issue back to Concubine Ruolan, yet she didn't even have think of a complicated plan. She just used the concubine's words against her, and she saved herself by speaking nonsense.
Meanwhile, the second madam who was having a hard time breathing due to anger. Was this trash really stupid or too smart? She had no choice now. She gritted her teeth and pulled out a dark brown hair stick. Since the sky was dark, from afar, the other madam wouldn't have noticed the slight changes in details. Hongyue probably wouldn't be able to see it from that distance. Concubine Ruolan could at least get the general to punish Hongyue this way. She handed the dark brown hair stick to the general with a slight smile.
But who knew Hongyue would scream out, "Oh! What is that ugly looking feces colored hair stick?! Where's my mother's black hair stick?
F-feces colored.
The second concubine paled while the general wrinkled his eyebrows. Since Hongyue pointed it out like that, would the second concubine dare to hand it over? She gashed her teeth and tasted blood in her mouth. This brat was just like her mother, ruining her plans again and again!
The general suddenly looked more alert.
Black.
Mother.
Hair stick.
Was Hongyue talking about the Dragon's Glory?
