Chapter 220 Princess, let's work together to drive away Shen Wantang

Xiao Qingxi stamped her foot: "Granny, why are you praising her too?"

Granny Kang patted her hand reassuringly: "Listen to my advice, don't argue with the Crown Princess. She's already making concessions, so just accept it, Princess. It'll be better for both you and the Prince's Mansion."

Given Xiao Qingxi's temper, anyone else would probably have been furious and started arguing with her long ago, but Shen Wantang remained calm.

She neither yielded nor attacked relentlessly. She spoke and acted with perfect balance, neither letting the princess gain an advantage nor causing her any major loss. She struck the perfect balance.

Such a perceptive and capable woman is fortunate to be Xiao Qingyuan's crown princess.

Granny Kang didn't want the princess to go against such a person, because she was no match for her at all.

Xiao Qingxi was indignant: "What are you saying, Granny? Where did Shen Wantang give in? Didn't you hear? She called me low-class and childish! She even called me stupid before! Am I supposed to just tolerate being insulted?"

"Didn't the princess also curse back? We're even now."

"That's unfair! Humph, she wants some high-level methods, right? Then I'll give her a high-level method!"

"What sophisticated method has the princess come up with?"

"this……"

Xiao Qingxi's mind went blank. She thought for a long time but still had no clue. She could only say, "Not yet, but I'm sure I'll figure it out!"

Kang Mama shook her head helplessly. She doubted that the princess could come up with any sophisticated methods. If she had any sophisticated methods at all, she could have made Huo Yunzhou cry for a month because he was taking a concubine.

She continued to patiently persuade her, "Princess, the matter of the Crown Princess is not important right now. Let's put her affairs aside for now! The matter of the son-in-law is the most important. You should focus your energy and attention on this. Do you really want a divorce? What will you do then?"

When Huo Yunzhou was mentioned, Xiao Qingxi's face turned pale.

She was in great pain inside, but her face still showed an arrogant look: "What do you mean, what to do? It's just a divorce, it's not a big deal. Without that heartless Huo Yunzhou, do you think I can't live? I have my father and mother, and I still have my brother. I can live freely as before after the divorce."

Kang Mama knew she was just putting on a brave face. She had been spoiled since childhood and couldn't bear any hardship, but for Huo Yunzhou's sake, she had gone to the Northwest and endured two years of hardship.

If she hadn't been so deeply in love with Huo Yunzhou, how could the princess have been willing to leave the capital and go to the northwest to eat sand, get sunburned and peel, endure extreme cold and heat, and tolerate language barriers and huge differences in customs?

Kang Mama sighed and didn't mention Huo Yunzhou anymore: "Princess, please wait here for a while. I'll go find Chai Mama now and get the things back first. We really can't throw them away again this time, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers. I don't think the Crown Princess has been affected at all."

Xiao Qingxi felt that after all her fuss, she hadn't even managed to hurt Shen Wantang in the slightest. She was furious, but Shen Wantang hadn't even flinched.

She herself was a little discouraged: "I know, Granny, I won't throw it away this time. I'm sleepy and hungry, so tired. But Shen Wantang was radiant, obviously she had eaten and drunk her fill. She really doesn't skimp on herself at all, she's so cunning."

Seeing that she could still listen, Granny Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to leave, she saw someone enter through the door.

The person was dressed entirely in white, from head to toe, with white shoes on her feet. Her long hair was loose and flowing down her back. She had a pale complexion, delicate and elegant features, and wore no makeup or jewelry. She appeared aloof and refined.

With such an unconventional outfit, even if Granny Kang had never seen her before, she already knew who she was.

Xiao Qingxi obviously knew who this was. She looked Chu Yanluo up and down, then frowned and asked, "What are you wearing? Who died?"

Chu Yanluo faced Xiao Qingxi with a hint of arrogance: "Princess, what I wear is not important. What is important is that I can help you solve your current predicament."

Xiao Qingxi sneered: "What difficulties could I, a princess of the Ning Prince's Mansion, possibly have? And what are you to dare stand here and speak to me?"

“Even if the princess doesn’t admit it, I know that the princess and young master Huo are not getting along. There is a third person between you, and your feelings have become impure, so you want a divorce.”

Chu Yanluo was arrogant because she was reborn and knew everything that would happen in the future, so she spoke with a sense of superiority that she herself did not realize.

She raised the corners of her lips and smiled, saying, "But actually you are very reluctant to part with Young Master Huo. The divorce was just a tactic to threaten him, to make him give up that woman. But he just won't listen to your threats and insists on bringing that woman home. Princess, am I right?"

Unfortunately, she didn't know that her smile at that moment was seen as malicious mockery and ridicule by Xiao Qingxi.

Xiao Qingxi's face immediately turned cold: "Who gave you permission to make wild guesses about me? Get out of here!"

Chu Yanluo did not leave. Instead, she took a few steps forward and walked to Xiao Qingxi's side: "Princess, I did not come here to quarrel with you. I know you do not like Shen Wantang, and I do not like her either."

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We have the same goal, so I think we can cooperate. I'll help you get rid of that woman that Young Master Huo brought back, and you help me get rid of Shen Wantang. How about that?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qingxi raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

With a sharp "smack," Chu Yanluo was knocked back two steps. Clutching her burning cheek, she looked at Xiao Qingxi in disbelief, her voice filled with shock and anger as she asked, "What does this mean, Princess? I came to help you out of kindness, and you hit me?!"

Xiao Qingxi snatched the handkerchief from Kang Mama's hand, wiped her hands, and then threw the handkerchief away.

She took her arrogant and domineering side to the extreme: "I didn't mean anything by it, I just didn't like the look of you, so I hit you whenever I wanted. If I didn't think you were dirty, I would have slapped you a few more times."

"Hmph, now even the most worthless dare to jump around in front of me, what bad luck! Do you think that just because I haven't lived in the capital for two years, the people of the capital have forgotten my name, Princess Shuyang? Do they think I'm easy to talk to? Even a concubine who can't even be presented to the public has the nerve to talk about cooperation?"

"Or do you think that just because you fooled my brother, you can fool me too? He's incredibly naive, easily fooled by women like you. I'm not that stupid!"

"What kind of look is that? Do you think I didn't hit you hard enough? That I didn't hit you hard enough?"
