Shen Xuanxuan slumped to the ground, her eyes filled with despair. She should have listened to her father and not let her mother go out. This time when she came back, she saw that her mother had not said any of the resentful things she had said before, and even kindly told her to visit the princess more often.
She thought her mother had come to her senses, but little did she know it was all a lie, a scheme to reassure her so she would carry the sachet with her and get closer to the princess...
"You wicked woman, how dare you make such a fuss!" Madam Xu was also quite angry, and finally couldn't help but slap her across the face. Without the help of Old Master Murong, it's uncertain whether Chu Tianze could have grown up safely, and this Madam Shen dared to shout so casually.
“Madam Shen is right. I want to see if we can’t fight this war without the Shen family. Xia Fan, summon Shen Yiyu back immediately. Cui Hao, set off for the Prince immediately to replace Shen Tao and bring him back. Since the Shen family is so dissatisfied with me, I will be biased this time and just replace him directly…” Bai Chuxiao said with a sneer.
"Your Highness, please calm down. You know your father and elder brother's attitudes. Mother was just talking nonsense and doesn't represent the Shen family. Right now, the war is also very intense on the Prince's side, and it's not appropriate to change generals at the last minute..."
Shen Xuanxuan pleaded anxiously, "My elder brother finally had a chance to do something. If Father is also switched back, it won't be easy for him to take command of troops again in the future..."
Cui Hao abandoned Madam Shen and interrupted, "I will depart immediately!" This Madam Shen and her eldest daughter have repeatedly displeased the Princess Consort, and this time they even tried to harm the young prince. This is absolutely intolerable, and even the Prince would not allow it.
"Mother, say something! Are you satisfied with things now...?" Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Shen Xuanxuan shouted sharply.
Madam Shen hadn't expected Bai Chuxiao to actually go and recall the Shen family members. Seeing Cui Hao about to leave, she couldn't help but panic. After hesitating for a moment, she still shouted angrily, "Wait! If you have a problem, come at me! It's none of anyone else's business! You tormented my daughter like that, and you expect me to smile at you? If my daughter isn't having a good time, you won't have one either..."
"Hmph, you speak so righteously, but if we're really talking about it, it was the Prince's will. Why don't you go and vent your anger on the Prince? All you dare to think about is how to harm Xiao-mei..." Murong Xuan said coldly.
"Second brother has reminded me. I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have let Shen Ru go." Bai Chuxiao nodded coldly. If she had really killed Shen Ru, Madam Shen might not have dared to think about such things. She was too soft-hearted after all.
"But it's not too late now. Qing Shuang, you personally lead men to the Shen residence, kill Shen Ru, and bring her head before Madam Shen so she can have a good look at it!"
Qing Shuang immediately replied, "Yes, I will go right away." She was very familiar with taking heads and such. It was all because of Shen Ru, who should have died long ago.
"You'll die a horrible death, Bai Chuxiao, you'll get your retribution, neither you nor the one in your belly will have a good end..." Hearing the words that Shen Ru was to be killed, Madam Shen was also provoked and cursed without any regard for the consequences.
Murong Xuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He kicked her over, and Xia Fan immediately took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth. Cui Hao, who had stopped earlier, left without looking back after hearing her words.
"A madwoman!" Madam Shen's madness filled Madam Song and Song Le'er, who were watching from the side, with fear. She wouldn't stop until she had brought ruin upon the Shen family...
Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "Very well, but you won't see it. Take her away, don't let her die too easily. Use all eighty-six methods I passed on to you..."
Xia Fan said with an icy expression, "This subordinate understands, and will definitely make her suffer a terrible death..." How dare she curse the Princess and the young prince like that... she must have a death wish...
Madam Xu, who was above, quickly helped Bai Chuxiao up, afraid that she would be agitated. She then instructed, "Help her get all these sachets, and don't let a single one go. I'll leave this to the Second Young Master..."
Murong Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Madam Xu!"
Everyone from the Shen family except Shen Xuanxuan was taken away. Old Madam Murong quickly patted Bai Chuxiao's hand and said, "Xiao'er, don't take that poisonous woman's words to heart. Take good care of yourself. You and my little grandson are both fine..."
“What Madam Hou says is true. Xiaoxiao, let’s go back and rest. Let’s not worry about these things…” Madam Xu said with some concern when she saw Bai Chuxiao’s calm expression.
Hearing their words of comfort, Bai Chuxiao forced a smile and said, "Grandmother, Mother, I'm fine, you don't need to worry. But I am indeed a little tired, I'll go back first!"
Madam Murong quickly said, "Alright, alright, your grandmother won't bother you anymore. Lanxiang and Qingzhu, you two girls take good care of the Princess!"
Lanxiang and Qingzhu nodded emphatically. Bai Chuxiao ignored the others in the hall and led Lanxiang and Qingzhu back to the main courtyard.
Madam Song spoke somewhat cautiously, "Madam Xu, we..."
Madam Xu was also in a bad mood, and said indifferently, "Madam Song and Miss Song, please go back. Today's matter has nothing to do with you. However, the Princess's pregnancy is not very stable, so please don't come to the Prince's residence to disturb her for the time being."
"yes"
Looking at Shen Xuanxuan, who was slumped on the ground silently shedding tears, Song Le'er hesitated and said, "Madam Xu, Sister Shen really didn't have any other intentions. She was also deceived by Madam Shen..."
Madam Xu said calmly, "The Prince of Yan's mansion naturally remembers the kindness Miss Shen showed to Xiaoxiao in Yunzhou and will not hold a grudge against Miss Shen. Please, both of you, escort her back..."
Song Le'er nodded, then tugged at Shen Xuanxuan's sleeve and whispered, "Sister Shen, let's go back first..."
Shen Xuanxuan remained unmoved, biting her lip with a hint of dejection in her expression. Ever since Madam Shen uttered those curses, she had been utterly desperate. She knew that Madam Shen and her eldest sister were doomed to die, so how could things have turned out like this...
Madam Murong sighed softly. The second daughter of the Shen family had always seemed like a good person, but she had been burdened by a troublesome mother. "Miss Shen, go back..."
Song Le'er helped Shen Xuanxuan up, "Sister Shen, Madam Shen used you to get close to the Princess, why are you still so sad for her..."
Madam Shen claimed to love her daughter and was determined to avenge Shen Ru. But what about Shen Xuanxuan? She sent the sachet to the Princess through Shen Xuanxuan. Didn't she think about how her second daughter would handle things after the incident? It's only because the Princess truly trusted Shen Xuanxuan that Shen Xuanxuan took the blame for Madam Shen.
In her view, Madam Shen didn't consider Shen Xuanxuan's situation at all and didn't deserve any sympathy. She might even be plotting to get Shen Xuanxuan to confess, since Shen Xuanxuan was on good terms with the Princess, and if something really happened, the Princess might turn a blind eye...
