Noble Consort Xiao sneered. Alright, since youre from the Xiao family, you should be smarter. Get up.

She gestured for Madam Xiao and her daughter to take a seat.

Madam Xiao thought Noble Consort Xiao would support them if they stayed. She began to complain about the incidents in the hall, speaking ill of Lin Sisi, hoping to tarnish her reputation in front of Noble Consort Xiao. F0lloww new hapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com

Noble Consort Xiao listened casually, neither rebuking nor refuting.

When Xiao Ruxue and Madam Xiao finished speaking, Noble Consort Xiao appeared as composed as ever, holding a pearl hairpin in her hand.

She toyed with the hairpin. Are you done?

Madam Xiao, holding Xiao Ruxues hand, spoke respectfully. Your Majesty, I know I tend to be long-winded, but Im doing this for the Ninth Princes sake. Please dont misunderstand.

Linger is my favorite. 1 treat him the best. Madam Xiao, 1 heard you speak today out of consideration for your daughters grievances. But dont forget, you brought this upon yourselves.

Noble Consort Xiaos languid tone carried a touch of coldness.

Madam Xiao and her daughter immediately knelt. Your Majesty, spare us! 1 truly

Enough! Impatience flashed in Noble Consort Xiaos exquisite eyes. Let me tell you, even if Linger killed a maid or both of you, 1 wouldnt blame him. Whoever provokes him, 111 kill them! If you want your daughter to be Lingers imperial consort, then prove yourself!

Even if Lin Sisi is an eyesore, 1 wont object if Linger is devoted to her! But you better not make my Linger angry again! Otherwise, Ill personally beat you to death!

Noble Consort Xiao impatiently tossed the pearl hairpin onto a plate.

Madam Xiao and her daughter trembled in fear, quickly retreating.

Granny Song approached Noble Consort Xiao, massaging her shoulders. Your Majesty, if you consider the Xiao familys future, having a daughter of the Xiao family by the Ninth Princes side would be wise. Miss Lin is only a descendant of a general. Once General Lin dies, the Lin family wont have much left.

Noble Consort Xiao rubbed her temples. How could I not know? But whenever 1 see Linger angry, I want to beat those who angered him to death. Linger is my treasure, I cant bear to see him upset.

Granny Song sighed softly. Although Your Majesty is reluctant, you cant watch over the Ninth Prince forever. Your Highness is pure-hearted and uninterested in the throne, so he wont have to worry about the future. But he still needs worldly experience, or who will protect Your Majesty and the Xiao family?

Noble Consort Xiaos heart sank. Granny Songs words echoed her thoughts.

She had pampered Chu Jinling for years, but he would have to take responsibility for the Xiao family someday.

Glancing at the treasures from the Xiao family, she instructed, Men, give all of these to Xiao Ruxue. Tell her to develop her skills.

Granny Song smiled in relief.

At the Marquiss Manor, while Su Yingxue handled household matters, Zi Wei returned.

Su Yingxue glanced up from the account book at the young man, as cold as a statue. How did it go? Is Saint Ruan dead?

Zi Wei shook his head. He saved himself.

Su Yingxue nodded. That old man is indeed reluctant to die.

She had used Intoxicating Fragrance, a poison that Saint Ruan had abandoned midway in his research.

Thus, he couldnt concoct an antidote on the spot. But it didnt mean he couldnt save himself with his medical skills.

And so, he lived on..
