Chapter 49: Chapter 49 - 34: Princess, You Must Hold Back and Not Fall for It

No matter what happens, let it all come at her.

"Exactly, since Miss Su and Madam Su arrived, the Princess has only spoken twice, and it was all to express concern for Madam Su. How did it come from Miss Su’s mouth that the Princess is a narrow-minded villain? I, for one, truly do not understand."

Lady Yun let out a cold laugh, putting on a stern face to back Yun Wanyao up.

The atmosphere became delicate at once, and only then did Mo Zhaozhao realize that Yun Wanyao wasn’t telling her to endure, but was afraid she would lose her temper and have no grounds to stand on, becoming the subject of gossip at the scene.

Thinking of this, Mo Zhaozhao broke out in a cold sweat.

Thankfully, Ah Yao was here; otherwise, with her temperament, she wouldn’t bother to waste words and would straightaway have someone teach this woman a lesson. This would undoubtably result in a reputation for abusing power, tarnishing the esteemed reputation her elder brother had painstakingly built.

Looking at the Yun mother and daughter who stood up for her, Mo Zhaozhao felt a warmth in her heart, and then her expression became proud as she looked at Su Qianxue with a sinister threat.

"How exactly am I narrow-minded? If you can’t explain it today, don’t blame me for really being narrow-minded!"

The situation turned in an instant, and in her heart, Yun Wanqing joyfully exclaimed.

[Wow, Mother and Sister are so powerful, just a few words and they put the Princess in the right, pushing all the fault onto the protagonist. Brilliant, brilliant, the plan to provoke the Princess has failed. I bet the protagonist can’t keep it together now?]

Praised by Xiao Si~

Listening to her internal voice, Lady Yun and Yun Wanyao secretly laughed to themselves, feeling a bit proud.

Su Qianxue’s expression slightly changed, pursing her lips as she looked at the three before her, her fists slightly clenching in her sleeves. She hadn’t expected Yun Wanyao to so quickly detect the trap she had deliberately set for the Princess in her words.

As expected of the protagonist, such insight is truly sharp.

"My daughter did speak inappropriately, but she did so unintentionally and not deliberately against the Princess. I hope the Princess will be magnanimous and not mind her words."

Seeing everyone pressing aggressively, Madam Su couldn’t think of a retort and had to concede and apologize to Mo Zhaozhao.

As for the Yun mother and daughter, she didn’t even glance at them, completely disregarding them.

"Hmph, Madam Su speaks so lightly, slandering the Princess cannot be forgiven with just a ’don’t take it to heart’. If it were so simple, what would happen if everyone followed suit? Wouldn’t I lose my reputation?"

Mo Zhaozhao wore a stern expression, unwilling to let it slide. Having finally obtained the opportunity to deal with Su Qianxue, how could she let her go so easily, how could she face Ah Yao?

"Then, what does the Princess wish to do? It’s all my fault for not guiding my daughter properly. If the Princess wishes to punish, please punish me instead."

Madam Su shielded Su Qianxue behind her, prepared to take responsibility for her. She held the title of decree-bearer; even though the opponent was a Princess, they couldn’t treat her arbitrarily.

Yet Su Qianxue refused to comply. She stepped out from behind Madam Su, looking at Mo Zhaozhao with defiance.

"The Princess asked where I am narrow-minded. I have made mistakes, but who in this world is a saint and never makes mistakes? Has the Princess never made a mistake? Then why repeatedly bring up the mistakes I’ve made?"

"As the sages said, when seeing a good person, strive to be like them. When seeing someone not worth following, reflect inward. The Princess knows of my mistakes, and should use them as a lesson to avoid making the same mistakes, rather than using them to mock and humiliate me."

"Furthermore, the Princess can only see the mistakes I’ve made, but can’t see my merits. Is this not narrow-minded?"

Mo Zhaozhao was stunned!

Everyone was stunned!

It was said that the Su Family’s daughter was a fool, but seeing her today, with words flowing freely and full of reason, she didn’t seem like a foolish person at all.

Lady Yun and Yun Wanyao were secretly astonished, no wonder Xiao Si’s Heart said the protagonist had a slick tongue, it truly wasn’t false.

With a few words from the sages, she’s affirmed the Princess’s narrow-mindedness.

If it weren’t for knowing her background, surely they’d have asked her to demonstrate her merits in mockery, and then... it would be the time for her to astonish everyone with her performance.

After all, Xiao Si did say this protagonist understands everything and is skilled in many areas, how could she not have merits?

Is it fated that she will have her moment in the spotlight today, make a name for herself, even if the plot falls apart and can’t be changed?

[See, see, the protagonist’s words are powerful, about to turn the situation around again.]

[The plot master is quite something too; even though it’s deviated so far, it’s still developing towards the key events.]

[Now it’s the only way to keep the plot derailed...]
