Chapter 1676 - Defeated Sooner or Later

“Lia, I… actually didn’t know about this…”

Leah stood beside Queen Yulia, her heart aching for her.

“I’ve been paying attention to the mother and daughter, but after such a huge incident, I don’t know anything… Who hid this news? Leah…”

Leah closed her eyes and shook her head. “… Do you want to call the person who arranged this?”

Queen Yulia closed her eyes and shook her head tiredly. “If she wants to do something under my watch, she definitely won’t be too obvious. Since she can hide it from me, she will definitely be able to hide it from the people in my hands…”

At this point, Queen Yulia paused.

“Why did she do that?”

Leah stayed quietly by her side, saying nothing.

She knew very well that these were just guesses, but she couldn’t say them out loud.

Princess Ava had been by the Queen’s side for so many years. She knew very well what status the Queen had in her heart.

Even if she was really confident, she couldn’t say it casually.

Moreover, the Queen knew this very well.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be in this state.

“I don’t know what she has done all these years…”

Leah sighed softly. “My queen, why don’t you ask the princess again? The reason for her attitude now is probably because she has experienced a lot…”

Queen Yulia didn’t say anything. After a long silence, she took a deep breath and reached out to stop Leah, indicating that she shouldn’t continue.

“I should ask her properly… What have I missed all these years…”

However, based on Fanxing’s expression just now, it wasn’t suitable for him to ask her carefully.

Leah nodded and glanced at Queen Yulia. After a moment’s hesitation, she whispered,

“I think that since the princess has returned this time, she must have her own arrangements. I think that with her personality, there are some things that she wouldn’t be willing to do with others… Perhaps with your interference, things will become difficult to turn around… After all, it’s been so many years…”

Queen Yulia’s expression was indifferent, and her face was cold. Her eyes were deep and cold.

“If she really did something else, I will never forgive her…”

–

The mother-daughter trio from the Li Palace were silent all the way home. Bei Xi still had lingering fear after being slapped by Ye Jingyun in the palace.

The moment she stepped in, she couldn’t help but cry again.

Ye Jingyun’s expression was extremely ugly. When she heard her cries, her head hurt even more. She held her head and sat on the sofa. Then, there was a loud bang. She was so frightened that her body trembled. She looked up and saw a vase smashing at Bei Xi’s feet.

“Why are you crying? Other than causing trouble, all you do is cry. Do you know anything else?!”

Bei Xi was so frightened that she stopped crying. Her tears were still on her face, but she looked at Bei Lei in disbelief.

“You… you’re crazy!”

Bailey was so angry that her face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and only retracted her angry gaze after a long while. She closed her eyes and took two deep breaths before slowly sitting on the sofa. She picked up the hand that the servant had placed in front of her with fear and trepidation and drank it in one go.

Putting down the cup, she calmed down.

Her tone softened a little.

“Although Grandma is Grandma, her status is different. You can do whatever you want at home, but you don’t know how to restrain yourself in front of Grandma! If you don’t like Shen Fanxing, none of us will like her!

However, she was now Grandma’s real granddaughter. After wandering outside for so many years and having just found her, one could imagine Grandma’s feelings for her! You’re trying your best to belittle her in front of her now. What does Grandma think of you? You didn’t learn your lesson once or twice! How dare you say that Shen Fanxing is a wild girl outside in front of her? If Mother hadn’t slapped you, I think it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you would have been stripped of your status as a princess on the spot!

Bei Xi’s face paled at Bei Lei’s words.

“How is that possible? I grew up by Grandma’s side. How can she remove my status as a princess? Although we didn’t have a princess coronation ceremony, everyone in Country Y knows that we’re princesses. Even if Grandma is really angry, she won’t easily strip me of my title! Who is Shen Fanxing?”

Bailey sneered. “What do you think? Who do you think she is?”

Bei Xi opened her mouth and finally spat out, “Isn’t she just an impostor… Grandma must be stupid to believe her!”

Bailey took a deep breath and decided to ignore the idiot.

Ye Jingyun was glad that she had a calm daughter like Bei Lei. If she were to be like Bei Xi, she would rather die than be angered to death.

Bei Xi felt wronged, but when she calmed down, her mind was filled with Shen Fanxing’s appearance. She was wearing that gown and was about to attend the ceremony.

All of them made her envious and jealous.

“Mom, what should we do? Are we really going to let her do this? She has already replaced Sister today. Who knows if she will gossip with Grandma in the future? I don’t know what Grandma will do to us… Now, she’s giving us the cold shoulder because of Shen Fanxing…”

Bei Xi’s words made Ye Jingyun and Bei Lei’s expressions turn solemn.

Ye Jingyun frowned even more. She had thought that getting someone to get rid of Ji Fengmian and his daughter in Ping Cheng would prevent future trouble, but now that the operation had failed, Ji Fengmian had already raised his guard. It would be even more difficult to make a move.

Now, she could only lay her hands on Shen Fanxing.

Silence filled the living room.

After more than ten minutes, Bailey stood up and said calmly,

“I’m a little tired. I’ll go upstairs to rest first.”

Ye Jingyun watched her leave and frowned.

Bei Xi was even more confused. She didn’t dare to be alone with Ye Jingyun. She found an excuse and left.

Ye Jingyun went upstairs and entered Bei Lei’s room.

Bei Lei had just changed and wasn’t surprised to see Ye Jingyun.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Jingyun went straight to the point. “Do you want to do something to Shen Fanxing?”

Bailey sat on the hanging basket by the window and swayed gently. “If we don’t do anything, are we going to wait for them to snatch everything away from us?”

Ye Jingyun frowned. “I’ll think of a way to resolve this…”

Bailey sneered. “Settled? How many years did you spend to resolve it? In the end?”

“Compared to me, you should think of a way to keep a close eye on Bei Xi. Otherwise, our favorability in front of Grandma will be ruined by her sooner or later!”
