Xue Jiajia then realized what was happening.
Mu Yazhi met Mu Chenshuang's gaze and scolded, "Sister, you were too ruthless. It was just a hair's breadth away. If you hadn't controlled it properly, the whip sheath would have pierced Jiajia's eye. How would you have taken responsibility then?"
Mu Chenshuang threw away the stick in her hand, and the crackling sound echoed throughout the courtyard, accompanied by an invisible, powerful aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Her gaze turned cold as she stared at Mu Yazhi, and she said in a chilling voice, "Since the young lady of the Prime Minister's residence has asked me to spar, she should be prepared to lose. Moreover, Mu Yazhi, what gives you the right to stand here and criticize my skills?!"
Mu Chenshuang's sharp gaze fell on Mu Yazhi, making her tense up and clench her fists. She quickly calmed herself down and said slowly, "Sister, why are you so angry? I was afraid you would accidentally hurt Jiajia. Just because you are a princess appointed by His Majesty doesn't mean you can be reckless and harm Jiajia. You shouldn't have acted so dangerously just now, almost hurting Jiajia. Sister, you should apologize to Jiajia."
Mu Chenshuang's expression was indifferent, her sharp eyes fixed on Mu Yazhi, as if she could see through her thoughts.
Mu Yazhi felt uneasy under his gaze.
She wanted to provoke Mu Chenshuang, to make her retort to her arrogantly like before. This way, she would definitely provoke the always spoiled Xue Jiajia.
But Mu Chenshuang didn't argue with her. Instead, she looked at Xue Jiajia and asked, "Miss Xue, do you need me to apologize?"
Those who practice martial arts are never as cunning or scheming as women who stay at home.
Xue Jiajia's expression froze at Mu Chenshuang's words, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment. She was very dissatisfied with being defeated in less than three moves, but in martial arts, there are always winners and losers in sparring.
Seeing that her scheme had failed, Mu Yazhi realized that although Xue Jiajia was a spoiled young lady, she had no mental fortitude to deal with Mu Chenshuang, a scheming and despicable woman.
Seeing Xue Jiajia's hesitation, she was about to say something when she noticed a commotion. Suddenly, she softened her tone and said, "Jiajia, don't be angry. Don't blame your sister for almost hurting you. Since your sister is unwilling to apologize, then I will apologize to you on her behalf!"
As Mu Yazhi spoke, she turned around, ripped the whip that was still stuck in the tree trunk, and handed it to Xue Jiajia.
"After all, my sister is a princess. Even if she hurts you, you can't hurt her. I'm just a concubine's daughter. Jiajia, you can hit me to vent your anger."
Xue Jiajia looked at Mu Yazhi and was slightly surprised by her words, but before she could react...
A furious shout came from outside the door, "I'd like to see who's untouchable!"
Immediately afterwards.
A woman in a magnificent blue dress appeared, her expression haughty, every move exuding the noble air of royalty.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Mu Yazhi appeared extremely flustered and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Princess Jinhua!"
Lu Wei, who had followed, quickly walked up to Mu Yazhi and asked, "Ya'er, what happened?"
Mu Yazhi looked guilty and said, "No... nothing's wrong."
Her panicked state only made people think that she was hiding something terrible.
Feng Lian heard everything clearly and fixed her gaze on Mu Chen Shuang, who was not far away.
Mu Chenshuang bowed respectfully, her face expressionless, and said, "Greetings, Princess Jinhua."
Although she was bowing, she did not give off a sense of humility; instead, she exuded an aura that commanded respect.
Feng Lian slowly stepped forward, "Miss Mu, as expected of the Princess Weiyang bestowed by His Majesty, actually doesn't take me and my daughter seriously."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yazhi's lips curled into a sinister smile. Before Mu Chenshuang could speak, she quickly stepped forward, putting on an innocent and kind appearance.
“Princess Jinhua, my sister is just like that and had no intention of offending you. There was some misunderstanding just now, and I hope you will not blame me. We invited you here today because we did not want to spoil your enjoyment due to some misunderstanding. If we have upset you, it is our fault.”
Fenglian looked at Mu Yazhi, her gaze softening slightly.
"Ya'er, you are so understanding." As she spoke, her sharp gaze fell on Mu Chenshuang again. "But some people may not appreciate it. Just because they are princesses and have made some contributions, they become arrogant and look down on others. It seems that the rumors were indeed true."
Feng Lian walked to Mu Chengshuang's side and said sternly, "Mu Chengshuang, you are no longer the Crown Princess. Only after His Majesty made you a Princess did you have the right to be on equal footing with Jia'er. I want to know where you got the audacity to lay a hand on my daughter. You don't respect me and the Prime Minister at all!"
