“My mother and I have always respected the Eldest Princess. The invitation from the Xu residence also specifically stated that this little daughter must come. This little daughter is filled with joy to come and congratulate the Eldest Princess on her birthday.”

“Today’s matter, even if Eldest Princess didn’t say it, this little daughter wouldn’t dare to make a fuss in front of the Emperor.”

“The Eldest Princess is the birthday girl of Daliang, the lucky star. Even if my daughter were to suffer some losses, she would not cause a ruckus on the Eldest Princess ‘birthday and embarrass the Eldest Princess and the Xu Manor. How could my daughter not care about the Eldest Princess ‘health and face?”

“If it were somewhere else, my daughter would rather die.”

Princess Anji heard that she had clearly admitted her mistake and was no longer making a fuss, but no matter how she heard it, her face felt hot.

The little girl was trying to act nice while not forgetting to dig a hole for her. Xiao Baoxin cared about the Eldest Princess ‘face and the Eldest Princess’ health. Who didn’t care about her? She did such a thing!

She stole a glance and indeed saw the Eldest Princess’s expression change slightly as she swept her a glance.

With just one glance, Princess Anji knew that the Eldest Princess was really angry.

“Aunt…”

“I’m talking to Lady Xiao, where is the place for you to talk? Hurry up and shut up!” The Eldest Princess said in a deep voice.

Then, he turned to Xiao Baoxin and sighed deeply.”Eldest Lady is intelligent and pure. Some people’s eyes are covered in shit and can’t be seen. This old woman will accept your kindness.”

Lady Xiao smiled lightly.” I don’t dare to make the Eldest Princess accept my kindness. I just hope that this matter will end here. It will really end here.””

The meaning behind his words was obvious. He was afraid that Princess Anji would find fault with him.

The Eldest Princess snorted coldly.” If such a thing happens again, you don’t have to inform this old woman. Just report it to the Emperor. This old woman will be your witness!””

“Angie, apologize to Lady Xiao.”

Princess Angie was stunned and her face turned red. Aunt, that’s Granny Xu’s job. Why should 1, a princess-”

” Angie.” The Eldest Princess’s eyes were like torches as she stared at Princess Angie. At this moment, Princess Angie’s throat seemed to be stuck and she could not speak. It turned out that the Eldest Princess had been kind for too long and she had forgotten the Eldest Princess ‘methods in the past. She was a woman who could influence the Great Ancestor and Emperor Xian De’s holy will.

“You only connived at the evil servant’s violence. This apology is not too much. You are a princess and a lady. Don’t you know the benefits of a woman’s reputation and integrity? If you don’t listen to me, then leave on your own. 1 can’t control you.”

Princess Anji panicked when she heard that the Eldest Princess was going to leave.

She could see that Xiao Baoxin was giving face to the Eldest Princess Princess. He did not make a big fuss because of her face. Otherwise, this idiot might really make a big fuss to the Emperor.

She was not afraid of Xiao Baoxin, but she was afraid that the Emperor and Noble Consort Liu would blame her for letting Princess Xuancheng take the blame.

“I apologize, 1 apologize. 1’11 do whatever Aunt wants me to do…” She softened her posture and said coquettishly,”Aunt, don’t ignore me. Father and my aunt are gone. I only have aunt to rely on.”

Xiao Baoxin was also impressed by her flexibility. He stood up and bowed to her,

“I, Princess Anji, connived at my evil servant to do such an evil thing and almost damaged the reputation of Eldest Lady Xiao…For this, 1 thank you for your apology.”

Xiao Baoxin stood up and returned a bow.” 1 dare not accept the princess’s gift.

1 only hope that this matter will end here.””

Even if she didn’t dare to accept it, Princess Anji secretly spat.

Xiao Baoxin was just being polite. He had nothing to say to the lustful Princess Anji, so he turned to bid farewell to the Eldest Princess.

“You were also frightened, so this old woman won’t keep you. I’ll invite you over to play another day.”

After this incident, the Eldest Princess really did not have the face to let a little lady appear at the banquet outside. Even if the Xiao family suddenly left the banquet and made the other Furens suspicious, as long as it did not really blow up, everything was just a rumor. No one dared to make trouble for her and gossip about her.

Xiao Baoxin was prepared to stop while he was ahead, but Madam Xie was unable to calm down. How could he end it so easily after bullying someone?

She was already prepared to burn both jade and stone together. She planned to first rebuke the Eldest Princess, then report to the Empress that Princess Anji had done evil…

Why did her daughter suddenly give in? It made her lose her emotions, okay?

“.. Sister-in-law!” Madam Xiao tugged at the back of Madam Xie’s clothes. Baoxin was about to leave, so why was she still standing there?

“Xie Furen, this old woman will take advantage of her seniority and remember your Xiao family’s favor.”How could the Eldest Princess see the indignant look on Madam Xie’s face? She would not accept her own daughter being wronged. Unfortunately, her daughter died early, before she even got married.

The Eldest Princess had lowered herself enough. Madam Xie sniffled, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Eldest Princess, don’t say that. I just… I’m just feeling sad for our Baoxin, not trying to gain anything from you. In the past, when our family’s adults were looked down upon by others, it was the Eldest Princess who spoke up for us. We will never forget the Eldest Princess ‘kindness in this lifetime.”

“It’s just that 1 can suffer any grievances. It’s just that Baoxin is still a little lady. As her mother, I didn’t protect her well, so I feel uncomfortable.”As she spoke, Yingying started to cry. She remembered that it was the Eldest Princess’s birthday, so she held it back and wiped her tears.

“I’ve lost my composure. It’s your 73rd birthday. Don’t blame me, I’ll take Baoxin home first.”

The Eldest Princess let out a long sigh. Even the anger that Xiao Baoxin had just given her had dissipated completely. In the end, this was Angie’s doing. Her methods were really despicable.

It was not until the Xiao family had left that the Eldest Princess glared at Princess Anji with a sharp gaze.

“I’ve lost all my face because of you. For a man, you’re willing to use such underhanded methods to ruin a young lady’s life. Do you know that her father is your Imperial Brother’s trusted aide? Did she know that her father had just won the battle and would be returning to Jiankang in a few days? You’re so old, is your brain filled with shit?”

Without outsiders, the Eldest Princess was no longer pretentious. She was already in her seventies, and her voice was like a great bell.

Princess Anji was stunned by the scolding. She had never seen the eldest princess scold someone so harshly in her life.

“Aunt, 1 know I was wrong. I just wanted to… Teach her a lesson…”

“Shut up, I don’t want to listen to you. Go back to your residence now and reflect on your mistakes. You’re a widow. Don’t wander around. You’ve been a cat at home for three months. Don’t come to my place even if there’s nothing to do. Let me have some peace.”

The Eldest Princess waved her hand and began to chase them away.

Princess Anji hesitated.” Aunt, don’t you think it’s better not to see blood on your birthday? That old servant has been with me for more than ten or twenty years. I only spared her cheap life.””

“You even know that it’s my birthday today, yet you’re making such a big deal out of it?”

“Get lost, get lost. It’s my birthday today, but it’s my birthday tomorrow and the day after?”

The Eldest Princess was so angry that she smashed her teacup.”It’s already not bad that you can keep your face. I’ve already agreed to the Xiao family to deal with these two evil thieves, and now you want me to keep my subordinates?”

“Kill those who should be killed, chase those who should be chased away, get lost!”

She didn’t even see the blood. The face and mouth of the person kneeling below were covered in blood.. Did she think she was blind and didn’t see it?
