Chapter 872: Grievance

“Mom, can you calmly listen to me,” Shu Quan’s eyes watered as she bit her lips and uttered this word by word.

“What do you still want to say?” However, Madam Shu’s vigilant gaze stabbed Shu Quan’s heart.

“His Highness is absolutely not someone you can play with in the palm of your hand. I hope you can understand this point! Otherwise, the Shu Family will certainly meet with disaster! The entire Shu Family will have no survivors!” Shu Quan blinked back her tears, then she turned to glance at her younger sister who was wearing an indifferent expression. “Younger Sister, Older Sister hopes that you can live well. Marrying His Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely not a good choice. You have also seen the sorry states of Father’s concubines. It truly isn’t easy to be a concubine.”

Shu Hui opened her bright eyes wide into a glare, and she snapped irritably, “I’m not becoming the concubine of an ordinary person, I am becoming the crown prince’s side consort! You don’t need to worry so much, Older Sister. You had better properly manage those women in your Eldest Prince’s Estate!”

Shu Quan was so furious that her footsteps staggered, and then she said with a sorrowful smile, “Fine, fine, fine. So I was sticking my nose into other people’s business! Xi’er, we’re leaving.”

Shu Quan started walking outside, but then she stopped again and turned around to warn, “Mother, Fourth Sister. I hope that you can open your eyes wide and look clearly. You cannot immediately win over a man’s heart just because you say that you will strive to do it. At least in my eyes, His Highness is not a person who will be affected by this.”

“He is firm, resolute, and determined! He seems gentle and warm on the exterior, like a cleansing spring breeze, but in reality, he is the most unfeeling, apathetic, imperious, and heartless man under the sun. At least before the crown prince consort appeared, I have never seen him able to look at a girl for such a long time without averting his gaze.”

“I can be certain of a fact. If you have the audacity to wreck his relationship with the crown prince consort, I believe that he will definitely exterminate our entire Shu Family for you two’s stupidity!” After speaking her piece, Shu Quan walked out of the room with her head held high, no longer giving her mother and younger sister another glance.

Only Xi’er, who was following behind her, distinctly knew that the prince consort’s body was still trembling even now. Her back silhouette was rigid, and she looked to be extremely lonely and pitiful.

The sound of Madam Shu angrily smashing a vase could be heard from inside the central room, but Shu Quan didn’t linger any longer, directly leaving the Shu Estate and boarding the carriage.

Once she boarded the carriage, she hugged her knees and started crying out loud.

On the side, Xi’er wiped away her master’s tears, but as she was at a loss to know what to do, she hugged her master and repeatedly called out, “Prince Consort, Prince Consort.”

Shu Quan only felt that a chilliness was spreading from her heart to the tips of all her fingers, so cold that her teeth couldn’t stop chattering.

“Xi’er, Xi’er, my mom actually said that I’m living with immeasurable glory, blessed and without worries, ha, hahaha, hahahahaha!” Shu Quan laughed so hard that tears were rolling down.

“If I had the choice, I would rather have nothing at all! Even if I had to Iive a vagabond life and sleep in the open on the streets, it’s better than getting entangled with those orioles and swallows, fighting and scheming against each other every day!”

“Prince Consort, you’re suffering so much.” Xi’er started bawling.

Shu Quan shook her head, and a teardrop splashed onto the back of her hand. “Actually, it doesn’t matter if I suffer. I only hope that my family can be well. But now… I’m afraid that this will all become an extravagant hope.”

Knock knock knock knock knock!!

The knocking on the door caused our dear Qiao Mu’s hand, which was in the middle of writing, to slightly pause, and then she said without lifting her head, “The door isn’t locked, come in!”
