Chapter 1784: Chapter 1786: Being Bothered Is Annoying
"Alright." Baili Yan knew this matter was a misunderstanding, and waved his hand, "I’ll handle this with the Emperor, try to prevent him from settling scores later. As for Mu Shaoling..."
"You’ve got to handle that too!" Yang Chuxia interrupted before he could finish.
Baili Yan laughed, "I really couldn’t tell, but you sure have thick skin. But I can’t handle this; it damages a man’s dignity. Just wait, you’ll have trouble coming your way."
"Brother An, your cousin is really unreliable." Yang Chuxia was venting inwardly. This guy is something else. If not for sending him to the throne, would she have offended Mu Shaoling?
"Indeed, unreliable." Ye Zi’an nodded, and then said, "No worries, he wouldn’t dare cause you trouble. If he does, just go find Dongyang. Dongyang can handle him."
"Pfft..." Yang Chuxia laughed, thinking he actually came up with such a suggestion.
Baili Yan wondered, these two really had bulletproof thick skins, they could actually think like this.
"You guys are something else!" Baili Yan said helplessly, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.
"But to be honest," Yang Chuxia said, "Cousin, forgive my bluntness, but your choice of allies is really something. How come they all seem brainless? Don’t they know we’re all in the same boat, always causing trouble."
"Such people are good," Baili Yan knew she was talking about the Tong family and Luo family, so he said, "An unstable harem can’t achieve great things."
At that, Yang Chuxia fell silent, realizing indeed people from the imperial family have different thoughts compared to ordinary folks.
She suddenly thought, if she kept helping Brother An and meddled in such big matters, would Baili Yan grow wary of Brother An too? She had once taken out those small arrows.
Oh my, Yang Chuxia suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
Baili Yan seemed to know what she was thinking, sneered coldly, "Put away those messy thoughts in your head. Go talk to your cousin-in-law; we have matters to discuss here."
That unmistakable hint to get lost made Yang Chuxia feel like spitting blood. Is there a faster way to burn bridges?
Speechless, Yang Chuxia shook her head and left the study.
But she ran into the Secondary Princess Consort in the garden.
"Bold! Where did this wench come from? Seeing our Secondary Princess Consort and not saluting?" The abrupt yell made Yang Chuxia snap her head up.
Before she could speak, someone else spoke up.
"Oh, isn’t this Madam Ye? What are you doing here?" The Secondary Princess Consort had nothing but disdain for Yang Chuxia, and it seemed like several women from the Tong family shared this sentiment, all equally unwelcoming to Yang Chuxia.
If one were to say why, the reasons were plenty.
For instance, the matter of the Tong family’s eldest grandson being beaten today, followed by fines imposed on the Tong family, was one reason among many. Moreover, Yangyang and Lele once caused the Secondary Princess Consort’s son to be locked in the ancestral hall, filling her with a desire to tear Yang Chuxia apart.
"Just got out of the palace; Prince Zhuang invited our family over for a meal." Yang Chuxia curtsied and replied.
"Madam Ye, though you’re the prince’s cousin-in-law, our madam is the Secondary Princess Consort." The Secondary Princess Consort’s nanny spoke up, "Do you show the same lack of propriety when meeting the Princess Consort?"
"You stupid slave, are you blind?" Yang Chuxia was quite displeased. What kind of nonsense is this? After being troubled all morning, even a servant is bothering her now, "Where did I lack propriety?"
