"It's not that easy to break her knees. Since you're afraid of breaking her knees, then ask her yourself and see if she feels that she's been broken by kneeling." Huo Yiyun smiled coldly.
Huo Qinghe naturally shook her head: "Yes, thank you for your concern, Consort Fu. I am not afraid of kneeling, this is nothing."
Fu Wenzhu looked over as well, knowing that Xiao Huo's current demeanor was all an act.
She paused, then decided to stop speaking up for Huo Qinghe and turned her gaze to Huo Yiyun, who was in the main seat.
"I don't know how much trouble I'll cause you, my lady, now that I've moved here. I hope you'll be understanding in the future."
After saying this, Fu Wenzhu stood up gracefully, her posture comparable to Huo Qinghe's when she came in earlier.
Huo Yiyun was too lazy to exchange pleasantries with Madam Fu; she really didn't like Madam Fu at the moment.
So she simply seized the opportunity to indirectly criticize Huo Qinghe.
"Kneel properly. I really don't know how you learned your manners before. Now that you've entered the palace, you still have no sense of propriety. Do you think you're in your own home? Aren't you afraid of disgracing the Huo family?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wenzhu showed no embarrassment. She pursed her lips and said, "By the way, after hearing what you say, I wonder what Consort Huo did wrong. May I ask if you could tell me so that I can learn a lesson?"
What mistake did you make?
Huo Yiyun naturally wouldn't tell Fu Shi. She stood up gracefully, her hand, covered by a nail guard, slowly gripping Huo Qinghe's chin.
"Didn't you hear Consort Fu ask? Tell me yourself what you did wrong?"
This arrogant attitude is something even the former Fu Wenzhu couldn't match.
Huo Qinghe, who had no choice but to raise her chin, let out a painful hiss from Huo Yiyun's sudden movement.
But she quickly suppressed it again.
Fu Wenzhu instinctively stood up, but did not step forward: "Yi Niangzi, please calm down."
In her previous life, there was no such thing as her moving to another palace, so naturally there wouldn't be this scene now.
In her past life, she only knew that the two Huo sisters, Da Huo and Xiao Huo, were outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds, but she didn't know what exactly happened between them.
At this moment, she was only instinctively trying to plead for Huo Qinghe, as she was now thinking of befriending Huo Qinghe.
Huo Qinghe lowered her eyes and said in a very low and difficult voice, "Sister, sister, please calm down. Don't get angry because of your younger sister."
With her chin restrained, her words were somewhat indistinct and difficult to understand.
Huo Yiyun just smiled, and then looked at Fu Wenzhu: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Consort Fu."
Fu Wenzhu remained silent for a moment, then gave an awkward smile: "Your Majesty's majesty commands my utmost respect. However, Consort Huo's crime is undeserved. Her delicate face is so fragile; if it were injured... even I would feel heartache upon seeing it."
Huo Qinghe remained silent.
Huo Yiyun chuckled, "Is Consort Fu pleading for Consort Huo? The matter between my sister and me is none of your concern. Besides, given your rank, do you really think you can interfere with my affairs?"
Consort Fu naturally said she wouldn't dare, but then she suddenly realized something was amiss.
She stood not far from the two sisters, unsure whether to go forward or back.
Huo Yiyun raised her wrist, seemingly wanting to let go of Huo Qinghe, but when she released her wrist, she used her forearm to push Fu Wenzhu, who was standing next to her in a daze, away.
Fu Wenzhu was pushed seven or eight steps away, and finally fell backward due to loss of balance.
Huo Yiyun seemed completely unaware, saying, "You haven't learned the rules well. If I, as your older sister, don't teach you properly now, who knows what kind of trouble you will cause in the future. All this discipline is to teach you a lesson."
As she spoke, she walked to the side and quickly reached Huo Qinghe's side. As she finished speaking, her hand, which was covered by a protective shield, landed directly on Fu Wenzhu's arm.
It almost hit Fu Wenzhu's face.
"Oh dear, Consort Fu, why did you fall down all of a sudden? Are you made of wood? Why didn't you come and help her up?"
Huo Qinghe naturally saw it too.
She lowered her head, but couldn't help twitching her lips.
Previously, Huo Yiyun's veiled insults were one thing, but now she's directly resorting to violence, clearly taking her anger out on the Fu family.
Clearly, Huo Yiyun had made up her mind long before Fu Shi came in.
Huo Qinghe's chin was still a little sore and numb, the red marks hadn't faded, and it ached slightly when she spoke: "Sister..."
After kneeling for a while, her legs became a little numb, so it was difficult for her to stand up, and it took her a long time to get up unsteadily.
By the time she stood up, Huo Yiyun had already given Fu Wenzhu countless slaps.
It's unclear where Huo Yiyun got such strength, but she kept pressing Fu Wenzhu down firmly.
Huo Qinghe then stepped forward to help Fu Guiren, but in the chaos, she was also pushed and shoved by Huo Yiyun. Her legs were already weak, and she fell backward, her palms scraping against the ground.
Is Huo Yiyun taking her anger out on both of them?
The commotion inside eventually alerted Cuiqiao and Luhuai outside, as well as Qingyun, who was originally in the side hall looking after and tidying up things for her master.
"Wife? What's wrong? Oh dear, what happened?"
When the maids came in, they didn't know who to help first.
Huo Yiyun glanced at them: "Alright. It was just that Huo Meiren and I had a quarrel, and in the process of pushing and shoving, Fu Guiren happened to come and mediate. Huo Meiren injured her hand and sent someone to fetch the imperial physician."
The news spread quickly, naturally at Huo Yiyun's behest.
When the news spread, Empress Xue had just visited the eldest princess at Xiefang Palace in Kunning Palace.
"Look how fluently Fuming speaks; it's all thanks to Your Majesty's hard work." Chunbai helped Empress Xue walk towards Kunning Palace.
Halfway there, a palace maid came to report the farce that had occurred at Xianfu Palace.
Empress Xue pressed her brow upon hearing this: "I just spoke to Consort Yi yesterday, and today she... I have a bit of a headache. Go and inform Consort Chi..."
"Wait, go to the Funing Palace and tell the Emperor. I think Consort Yi is still too unsteady."
“However, after all, it was the Empress who recommended Xianfu Palace…” Chunbai hesitated before continuing.
Empress Xue waved her hand: "Consort Yi was bound to cause a scene sooner or later. If she doesn't make a scene now, it will be later. Let her make a scene. Go and fetch the imperial physician. I caught a chill and have a terrible headache."
