Ji Fengyao, Lin Shuang, Bai Lu, Xi Que, and the others remained unmoved.

Seeing this scene, Granny Wang was somewhat intimidated, but even more embarrassed. She became angry and said, "Princess Chonghe, according to the Empress Dowager's decree, you must bow respectfully!"

"I'll slap your grandma's leg!" Xi Que cursed angrily, and somehow found a shoehorn, which he threw at the door.

"Smack!"

The shoehorn struck quickly and swiftly. Granny Wang was old and her movements were slow. She took a solid blow to the mouth, and her teeth were crooked, her mouth was broken, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

"Ouch..." Granny Wang screamed miserably, covering her bleeding mouth with one hand and pointing at the sparrow with the other, she said in shock and anger, "How dare you! I am here to deliver the Empress Dowager's decree. Your disrespect to me is disrespect to the Empress Dowager!"

Bai Lu spat on the ground and cursed, "Stop trying to act tough. We've been to Cixi Palace before. There are so many people in the Empress Dowager's palace. Why don't they come to deliver imperial edicts themselves, but instead send you, you old hag, to deliver them? Do you think we're fools?"

"I already said it was the Empress Dowager's decree. She summoned me to the palace yesterday and told me in person. You can ask her if you don't believe me." Granny Wang's mouth was sore, and she still had to use her broken mouth to argue with these little maids. She was utterly exasperated.

The magpie strode forward.

Granny Wang and the maids she brought with them were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

Seeing that they were about to leave the house, Xique shouted, "Stop right there! Our Hui Nuan Pavilion is a large garden outside. Do you think you can come and go as you please?"

Upon hearing this, the maids behind Granny Wang immediately knelt down.

Granny Wang, however, stood frozen in place, her neck stiff: "I'm here to give to the Empress Dowager..."

"You son of a bitch!" Xique raised her hand and slapped Wang Mama across the face. "You must have forgotten that not long after our young lady entered the manor, you conspired with the Dowager Consort to lure her over and scald her hand. What did you say then? That our young lady was ill-mannered, not kneeling before the Dowager Consort and not offering tea?"

Granny Wang: "..."

She's here to deliver an imperial decree, not to settle old scores!

Can't we just say something?

"I……"

"Smack!"

Granny Wang was about to reiterate the purpose of her trip.

Xique slapped her again, knocking her to the ground: "What, you're not following the rules today? Instead of kneeling to greet our young lady, you're yelling at her. Who gave you the guts? Who gave you the face? The Empress Dowager?"

"you……!"

"Slap! Slap!"

With her hands on her hips, Xique launched into a tirade, giving Wang Mama no chance to retort: ​​"What do you mean, 'you'? You always have manners on your lips, but in front of our young lady, you keep calling yourself 'you' and 'me,' is that proper? Shouldn't you be referring to yourself as a servant?"

Ji Fengyao: "..."

That girl, Xique, is really something else now; her fighting power is incredible!

Bai Lu's face was practically screaming "I taught you, I taught you!" Her proud little expression made her tail practically wag in the air.

Wang Mama, who was used to flattering the powerful and currying favor with the weak, was a fickle person and could not withstand the wrath of Xi Que.

After several slaps, Granny Wang was now a limp dog, covering her swollen and festering mouth, sobbing incoherently, "Waaaaah... This old servant is truly relaying a message from the Empress Dowager!"
