“Oh, what princess? She is an abandoned woman now. The prince didn’t even mention this fool when he left. Now all he needs is a divorce letter…” Feng walked in with her head held high, her arms folded across her chest with an air of pride.
Feng pointed at Ji Lingxue and Mo Xiang and said, "The prince doesn't want you anymore, so he lets you stay at your mother's house. Let me tell you, it's not impossible for you to stay in the mansion. The mansion never keeps idle people. From now on, both of you go to work for me."
"As long as there is no letter of divorce, my master will still be the Princess of Chen." Mo Xiang retorted unwillingly.
Feng raised her hand and said, "Uneducated slave!" and was about to slap Mo Xiang in the face.
One hand stopped Feng's hand that was about to fall on Mo Xiang's face. Ji Lingxue stood in front of Mo Xiang, grabbed Feng's wrist, looked at her calmly and said, "I don't need you to teach my maid a lesson."
Feng glared angrily, "Oh, a fool would dare to take the lead? It's really rare!"
"Pa!" A crisp slapping sound rang out in the room. Feng stared at Ji Lingxue in front of her with wide eyes in confusion. The burning pain on her right cheek reminded her what had just happened.
"You bitch, you fool, you actually hit me!" The next moment, Feng got angry, rolled up her sleeves and grabbed Ji Lingxue's face. No matter what, all the old and new grudges would be settled today.
Her daughter was going to be the Prince Chen's principal wife, and this woman was too much of a hindrance, always hindering her daughter's future. So she scratched the face of that fool Ji Lingxue, and then the Prince Chen would no longer be able to tolerate her and would definitely divorce her.
"Princess!" Mo Xiang's heart tightened when he saw Feng was about to attack Ji Lingxue. He threw all the concepts of hierarchy out of his mind and picked up the teapot beside him and poured it towards Feng.
There was a loud splash of water, and the unfortunate Feng was instantly drenched from head to toe. Her exquisitely tied-up hair was scattered with wet water, and the pearl hairpins on it fell to the ground. Her delicate makeup was also ruined, and thick rouge mixed with water fell all over her body.
"Ah! You two bitches, how dare you treat me like this? Just wait for me!" After saying that, she turned and walked out, obviously going to get help.
Looking at Feng's embarrassed back as she stumbled away, Mo Xiang's face turned pale, with a nervous expression as if she had done something wrong, "Master, I am dead now."
She was so angry that she offended the master's most beloved wife. She was doomed now. Being punished by the family was a small matter. She might even be sold to a brothel.
Ji Lingxue patted Mo Xiangdao's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
Mo Xiang pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
From afar, one could still hear the ghostly howling of Feng, "Someone, someone, the young lady has gone mad!"
There was a commotion in the inner courtyard, and soon the sound of quick and orderly footsteps was heard. Leading the way was the head of the family, Ji Baichuan, and walking behind Ji Baichuan was Feng's personal maid.
The reason why Feng went alone was that he had already sent his confidants to tip off the situation, otherwise Ji Baichuan would not have arrived so timely.
"Dad, what happened?" Ji Mingyang appeared out of nowhere and blocked Ji Baichuan's way. "I just heard someone yelling. What happened?"
Ji Baichuan rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "I'm not sure. Go to your eldest sister's yard and see. Your mother seems to have had an accident."
Ji Mingyang pinched his chin, with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Mother is really something. She knew that my eldest sister was a little crazy, so why did she go to her alone?"
His biological mother was not Feng, but a maidservant of Feng's. He had been raised by Feng since he was born.
