Chapter 440 Shen Wantang, you've plotted against me again?

Just as Shen Wantang was about to speak, Gu Qianning stood up, pressed down on her shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to stand up for her and that she would do it herself.

Gu Qianning felt that Shen Wantang would live in the Ning Prince's Mansion for the rest of her life, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to have too much of a falling out with Xiao Qingxi. But she didn't need to live in the Ning Prince's Mansion, so it was most appropriate for her to argue with Xiao Qingxi!

She was just looking for an opportunity to vent her anger; last time she fell into the water, she almost froze to death!

"Xiao Qingxi, you've lost your title, and you're blaming me? You have quite the nerve! How can you blame me? Didn't you bring this on yourself?"

"You pushed Lin Rouxin off the pleasure boat with your own hands. She fell into the river and disappeared without a trace. If she hadn't been lucky enough to survive, you would have killed her!"

"Such a serious crime, shouldn't your title be revoked? If you weren't surnamed Xiao, you'd be in jail! Just taking away your title is too lenient!"

Xiao Qingxi's originally pale face turned red with anger: "I didn't kill Lin Rouxin, she jumped down herself, she framed me! Are you blind? Can't you see she was acting?"

Gu Qianning scoffed at her, "Are you blind? I saw it clearly, it was you who pushed her down!"

"Even if she framed you and caused you to lose your title of princess, why didn't you go to settle accounts with her? As soon as you heard I was here, you came to settle accounts with me? What, do you think I'm a pushover?"

"You caused me to fall into the water, and I've already been lenient by not cursing you. How dare you spout such nonsense and try to drive me away? Believe me or not, I'll go to the palace and file a complaint against you!"

Xiao Qingxi raised her chin: "Go ahead and sue me, I'm not afraid of you! My royal uncle and royal grandmother both love me the most, they're both on my side!"

Gu Qianning sneered: "So tough? Then why don't you go settle accounts with Lin Rouxin? You can't be that you can't beat Lin Rouxin, so you're taking your anger out on us, can you? Xiao Qingxi, you're really spineless, you're such a waste!"

"Gu Qianning, you're the trash! How could I possibly be no match for Lin Rouxin? I don't bother fighting with a bitch like her, it's beneath me!"

"You clearly can't beat Lin Rouxin, yet you're still being stubborn! She's recently moved into the Huo family's house. I don't believe you don't know that. You know everything, but you can't do anything about it. You must be sulking every day, right? How pathetic are you!"

"I'm not sulking at all. I've been eating well and sleeping soundly every day lately, living a comfortable and carefree life! Lin Rouxin is nothing to me!"

"Don't you care? I heard that Lin Rouxin caused your miscarriage? You don't even care about that? Xiao Qingxi, this isn't like you. After suffering such a huge loss, you can still sit still? I don't believe it!"

When the topic of miscarriage came up, Xiao Qingxi's face darkened: "How do you know that Lin Rouxin caused my miscarriage? Did Shen Wantang tell you?"

Gu Qianning sighed: "Why do you always blame A-Tang first? What does this have to do with her? It's already spread that you tried to kill Lin Rouxin but failed, so you imprisoned and tortured her to prevent Huo Yunzhou from finding her. Later, she desperately escaped, and when you tried to catch her and take her back, she pushed you into the lake, and then you miscarried."

Xiao Qingxi's expression changed drastically: "I never imprisoned Lin Rouxin, nor did I torture her! This is all an excuse she made up to fake her death!"

Gu Qianning waved her hand dismissively: "It's no use explaining to me. Everyone on the street knows about this now, and they're all calling you inhuman!"

"Xiao Qingxi, you're not human! I... no, that's not right. Only Huo Yunzhou knew the excuse Lin Rouxin made up. Why did it get out?"

"How would I know? But now everyone knows that Huo Yunzhou doesn't like you anymore. He's spoiling Lin Rouxin every day and is even taking her to the palace for the Spring Banquet! I don't know who Huo Yunzhou's wife is, you or Lin Rouxin."

"What did you say?!"

"Huh? You didn't know about this? Tsk, Xiao Qingxi, you're so pathetic. Your own husband didn't accompany you to the Spring Banquet, but instead went with another woman. If word gets out, you'll be laughed out of the house!"

Gu Qianning looked at Xiao Qingxi as if she were an idiot: "So, instead of wasting your energy cursing us, you should save it for dealing with Lin Rouxin!"

"What good will it do you to deal with us? You'll just make a few more enemies. Lin Rouxin would love for you to offend people everywhere!"

"I really don't know what you're thinking. Wait, do you mean you don't have a brain at all, and your head is empty?"

Enraged, Xiao Qingxi stood up, walked up to Gu Qianning, and raised her hand to slap her.

Shen Wantang immediately grabbed her wrist: "Xiao Qingxi, what are you doing?! A Ning is my guest, how dare you hit her?"

A familiar pain shot through her wrist, and Xiao Qingxi's expression changed. She abruptly pulled her hand back and took several steps backward.

She stared at Shen Wantang warily: "Are you going to plot against me again? You pinched my wrist before, and it hurt for days! Are you going to use the same trick again? You're really vicious!"

Shen Wantang felt that she hadn't pinched hard enough last time, so Xiao Qingxi had forgotten the pain and was causing trouble again.

"You think I'm malicious, yet you come here to cause trouble. What are you after? You can't possibly be unable to defeat Lin Rouxin, so you're taking it out on me, can you?"

Xiao Qingxi didn't speak this time because the pain in her wrist had started again. The pain from last time was still vivid in her mind, and even after it healed, she would still dream about her wrist hurting.

She gripped her wrist and hurriedly retreated, shouting, "Quickly, fetch the imperial physician for me!"

Granny Kang helped her up: "My lady, what's wrong?"

"My wrist hurts, my wrist hurts!"

Granny Kang was suspicious. She had seen it clearly just now: Shen Wantang had only grabbed Xiao Qingxi's wrist to stop her from slapping Gu Qianning, and that was all.

There were no marks on Xiao Qingxi's wrist, but she started complaining that her wrist hurt. Was it really not intentional?

Whether it was intentional or not, Xiao Qingxi kept crying out in pain, so they had to call the imperial physician for her.

She gave a few instructions to the maid and accompanied Xiao Qingxi out of Shen Wantang's courtyard: "Master, you shouldn't have come out today. You're not fully recovered yet! Since you dislike the Crown Princess so much, please don't come here again!"

Xiao Qingxi turned around and glanced at Shen Wantang in the courtyard. She stood there, looking at her with cold eyes, as if warning her that if she made trouble again, she would have even more ruthless methods waiting for her.

She wasn't afraid at all after being scolded by Gu Qianning and threatened to complain to the palace. But when Shen Wantang stared at her with such cold eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine!

"Granny, don't you think Shen Wantang is a bit strange?"

Kang Mama didn't think so. She thought her mistress was the one who was a bit strange. She hadn't even recovered from her illness yet, but she came to the Princess Consort's courtyard to make a scene. Wasn't she just asking for trouble?
