This scene shocked everyone.
Another official's daughter shouted angrily, "Xue Jiajia, are you crazy? What right do you have to hit people?"
Xue Jiajia raised her chin, like an enraged wildcat, her eyes flashing with ferocity. "I'm not only going to beat her, I'm going to slap your mouth raw."
The moment she raised her hand, the woman screamed and backed away.
Looking at her timid and cowardly appearance, Xue Jiajia curled her lips and said, "Useless."
Xue Jiajia's behavior set off alarm bells for Mu Yazhi. How could she have gotten together with Mu Chenshuang?
Suppressing her shock, Mu Yazhi stepped forward with a smile. "Jiajia, it looks like your poison has been cured. That's wonderful! I wanted to visit you, but my sister... wouldn't let me. Has my sister stopped bullying you?"
Xue Jiajia stared at Mu Yazhi. Her current reaction was exactly the same as what Mu Chenshuang had just said. On the surface, she appeared aggrieved and worried, but in reality, she was trying to sow discord.
Thinking about it carefully, Mu Yazhi kept saying that she treated him as a friend, but every time Mu Yazhi appeared, she would be gossiped about, and Mu Yazhi remained unmoved. In the end, Mu Yazhi even advised her to lower herself and apologize to these worthless people. If she really treated her as a friend, how could she tolerate others humiliating her?
Mu Chenshuang's words awakened her, as if clearing away the fog that had been obscuring her vision, allowing her to see clearly.
So now, looking at Mu Yazhi's weak and aggrieved appearance, as if the whole world owed her something, she felt genuinely disgusted.
"Mu Yazhi, I think you'd rather I be poisoned and disfigured, so why would you come to see me out of kindness?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yazhi's face stiffened.
"If you hadn't instigated me to fight Princess Weiyang that day, how could I have misunderstood Princess Weiyang? And the poisoning I suffered was done by your mother's personal nanny. Do you think I don't know who has ulterior motives? It's not your place to spread rumors here!"
Xue Jiajia glared fiercely at the official's daughter in front of her.
If Mu Yazhi hadn't kept urging her to be a good person, she wouldn't have kept quiet about it.
A young lady from an official family retorted dismissively, "Jiajia, don't be ungrateful. We're just standing up for you."
Xue Jiajia shouted angrily at her, "Shut up!"
"Jiajia, what exactly did your sister do to sow discord in front of you? How could you say such a thing?"
Mu Chenshuang remained calm, her smile not reaching her eyes. "I'm just letting Miss Xue see clearly who is human and who is ghost."
"Mu Chenshuang!" Wei Xu shouted angrily, his heart aching at the sight of Mu Yazhi's aggrieved expression.
"You wicked woman, if you dare to say another word about Ya'er, I, the young master, will not forgive you."
Mu Chenshuang then noticed Wei Xu, the heir of the Wei Prince's Mansion.
The former Wei Prince's Mansion was once a place of great glory. The previous generation went to war for the late emperor, and the family members were skilled in both literature and martial arts, enjoying boundless prestige.
As time passed, the Wei Prince's family members died of illness or in battle, and their sons became more and more useless. Only the Wei Prince himself was left to support the Wei Prince's family, and his health was deteriorating day by day. If the Wei Prince's family still had anyone who was capable, it would probably only be the Princess Consort of the City.
"Who do we have here? It turns out to be the good-for-nothing heir of the Prince of Wei's mansion. Now I understand why the Prince of Wei's mansion has fallen into ruin. It turns out that the heir of the Prince of Wei is just a philandering fool who only knows how to revolve around women."
Wei Xu was already angry because Mu Yazhi had been wronged, and now that she had humiliated him, his anger intensified. His clenched fists cracked as his reason was consumed by the flames.
Clenching his fists, he strode forward, ready to teach Mu Chenshuang a lesson.
However, before his fist could land, he was kicked to the ground, the fence shattered, and he coughed up blood.
This scene shocked everyone.
Mu Yazhi was terrified, her face turning pale. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of someone walking in their direction, a sinister glint in their eyes.
She quickly stepped forward, helped Wei Xu up, looked at Mu Chenshuang, and tearfully accused her, "Sister, if you want to hit me, scold me, or humiliate me, I will do as you please without complaint. But this is the Prince of Cheng's mansion. How can you hit the young master for no reason? He is the Princess Consort of Cheng's own brother. You are too arrogant."
A woman from an official family, realizing the situation, spoke up indignantly: "Princess Weiyang, you're being far too eager to assert your authority. Right now, it's still the Princess Consort who's in charge of the Prince of Cheng's mansion."
As soon as he finished speaking...
"Ah Xu!"
A hurried and worried voice came from behind.
Immediately afterwards.
A pale yellow figure strode quickly toward them.
When everyone saw the Princess Consort arrive, they all wore smiles as if they were watching a show.
