Chapter 118: Quite skilled
Empress Running Away with the Ball
âYour highness, this isnât Lan Xiangâs fault. It is this concubineâs fault. It is this concubine that this wrong.â
Chen Bi Yun fell to the ground from Chu Shao Yangâs embrace.
âYunâer, what does this have to do with you? It clearly is this servant who doesnât know how to serve her master. Since she doesnât know how to serve her master, then this king will replace her with someone that does.â Chu Shao Yangâs cold eyes looked at Lan Xiang.
Lan Xiangâs body continued shaking as she continued kowtowing on the ground, âI beg your highness for forgiveness. It really isnât this servantâs fault, itâs......Itâs.......â She kept secretly looking at Chen Bi Yun.
âWhat is it!â Chu Shao Yang shouted once again.
âItâs because the concubine consortâs dress is dirty, so she canât wear it.â Lan Xiang trembled as she spoke.
âSuch a good dress, how could it be dirty? If the concubine consortâs dress is angry, donât you know to immediately get her another one? But a slave like you doesnât know how work or have any dedication towards your master!â Chu Shao Yang angrily raged on as if he was venting all the dissatisfaction in his heart on Lan Xiang.
Lan Xiang just kowtowed without daring to say a thing.
âYour highness, please calm your anger. This matter truly is not Lan Xiangâs fault, it is this concubineâs......This concubine accidentally dirtied this beloved dress.â
Chen Bi Yunâs tears dripped down as her eyes revealed an aggrieved look. All this instantly made Chu Shao Yangâs heart fill with doubts.
âThis king remembers that this is your favourite skirt, how could you accidentally dirty it? There must have been something that happened. I want you to tell me clearly what happened and youâre not allowed to omit a single word!â Chu Shao Yangâs expression sank.
âYour highness, truly nothing happened.....â
âTell me!â Chu Shao Yang loudly ordered.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chen Bi Yunâs heart filled with pride as her face displayed an awkward expression. She bit her lips and said, âItâs all this concubineâs fault. This concubine was thinking about her sisterâs injuries, so I disobeyed your highnessâ orders and went to visit my sister.....â
Without even being able to finish, she was already interrupted by Chu Shao Yangâs cold voice.
âWhat did that cheap woman do?â He unconsciously clenched his fist as his heart filled with anger.
âIt really isnât elder sisterâs fault. Elder sister had suffered heavy injuries and had caught a cold so she was constantly coughing. Yunâer was worried about elder sister, so I helped her pat her back and in the end, elder sister spat out a mouthful of phlegm onto Yunâerâs dress. Elder sister did not do it on purpose, she.....She also spat out several bowls of blood.â
If Chen Ning had heard what she said, she definitely would have given her two thumbs ups.
She had quite the skill at twisting the truth. Not only had she placed all the fault on Chen Ning, she had also shown how much sisterly love they had and how affectionate they were.
Chu Shao Yangâs eyes suddenly contracted together.
âThat damn cheap woman!â He gritted his teeth as he spoke. His eyes were filled with a strong killing intent.
âYour highness, please donât blame elder sister, it is all Yunâerâs fault. If Yunâer had listened to your orders and not gone to see elder sister, nothing would have happened today. Yunâerâs skirt getting dirty is all because of Yunâer was being careless. Elder sister is already incredibly sick, so if you definitely cannot punish her, otherwise Yunâerâs heart will be filled with guilt for a lifetime.â Chen Bi Yunâs hands pulled on his sleeves as she cried and begged him.
âYunâer, let go! This king is telling you, for a cheap woman like Chen Ning, it would be better for her to die early! The better you are to her, the more losses youâll suffer from her! Humph, humph, this king thought that she would die in a few days with her injuries, but I never thought that she still would not die yet! Good, very good!â
As he began to think of the humiliation he suffered in the wedding hall and the ridicule that he received in morning court the day after, his heart filled with rage.
