The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Father, you are here!"

Zhao Yuting was full of doubts, but she had to follow the proper etiquette as a daughter-in-law.

She called softly, her eyes fixed on the Marquis of Zhenguo who was slowly approaching.

Zhao Yuting saluted respectfully to the Marquis of Zhenguo and called out again, "Father."

However, what she did not expect was that the Marquis of Zhenguo actually frowned, and his face, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out, was intimidating.

Even though the two were several meters apart at this moment, Zhao Yuting could still clearly feel the raging rage gushing out from the Marquis of Zhenguo.

She couldn't help but shudder, muttering to herself: What happened to my father-in-law today? Why is he so angry?

Zhao Yuting carefully raised her eyes and glanced at the Marquis of Zhenguo, but saw that he had a tense face and said nothing. His sharp eyes were like two cold rays shooting straight at her.

Just being stared at like this made Zhao Yuting feel frightened in her heart, and her hands and feet became somewhat uncontrollable.

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home obediently? Who allowed you to come here?" Finally, the Marquis of Zhenguo broke the silence and shouted angrily. His voice was low and harsh, with undisguised anger.

At this moment and in this place, he no longer cared about many things. He completely ignored the opinions of the people around him and whether the occasion was appropriate. He just wanted to send this disobedient daughter-in-law back home immediately.

The Marquis of Zhenguo was well aware of those so-called family affairs, but he still had to consider the reputation of the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion. He really didn't want to make these family scandals public, so as not to cause ridicule.

It’s a pity that Zhao Yuting didn’t seem to notice anything unusual, because on weekdays, the Marquis of Zhenguo treated her in such a serious and rigid manner.

She was already used to this attitude, so she never thought about it too deeply.

"Father, this was something the Queen herself ordered me to do. She told me to come and instruct the Crown Princess when I'm free."

Zhao Yuting raised her chin, a smug look on her face, as if she had accomplished an extremely remarkable task.

Then, Zhao Yuting said confidently: "Besides, Mengmeng has come to the East Palace now. As her sister-in-law, it is only natural for me to come and visit her. Do you think there is anything wrong with that?"

However, the Marquis of Zhenguo still had a stern face and looked angry, and his expression did not ease at all because of Zhao Yuting's explanation.

Seeing that her father-in-law still had this attitude, Zhao Yuting couldn't help but feel suspicious and thought to herself: Could it be that the Crown Princess had reported me to my father?

Thinking of this, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited. She turned around and glared at Xue Jinhua fiercely, asking, "Crown Princess, have you forgotten everything the Queen said to you this morning?"

Zhao Yuting became more and more excited as she spoke, and continued to shout loudly: "You and His Royal Highness have been married for quite some time, but you haven't even conceived a child yet... The Queen sent me here specifically to teach you how to behave!"

At this moment, an angry shout was heard: "Shut up!" The Marquis of Zhenguo could no longer bear it and finally exploded.

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Zhao Yuting and shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you say that you are teaching others a lesson on behalf of the Queen? You are so ignorant and don't know what you are talking about. Get back home right now and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

Zhao Yuting was stunned when she heard the merciless rebuke from the Marquis of Zhenguo.

She originally thought that even if her father-in-law did not support her, he would at least give her some face. She never expected that he would scold her so mercilessly in front of everyone.

For a moment, Zhao Yuting felt humiliated and filled with shame and anger. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

Seeing her father so angry at this moment, Zhou Mengmeng said with a slightly trembling voice: "Dad, my daughter has just arrived at the Eastern Palace not long ago, and I am not used to many things yet. My sister-in-law is kind-hearted and comes to chat with my daughter when she is free." As she spoke, she gently tugged at the sleeve of the Marquis of Zhenguo, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

However, Zhou Mengmeng still couldn't understand why her father was so angry.

Obviously, my sister-in-law came to visit out of concern, which was a very normal thing. How could it cause my father to be so angry? Is there some hidden secret? Thinking of this, Zhou Mengmeng became more and more uneasy.

At this time, the Marquis of Zhenguo had a gloomy face and stared at Zhou Mengmeng with cold eyes, and said in a stern voice: "Now that you have married into the Eastern Palace and become someone close to the Crown Princess, you should follow the Crown Princess's orders in everything and never act on your own! As for other irrelevant matters, especially the affairs of your mother's family, you'd better not interfere!" His words were like a sharp sword, piercing Zhou Mengmeng's heart.

Hearing this, Zhou Mengmeng couldn't believe it. She stared with wide eyes at the father in front of her who once loved her so much.

Her lips trembled and she wanted to say something in rebuttal, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.

Xue Jinhua, who was standing by, saw this and hurried forward to persuade him, "Lord Zhenguo, calm down. Sister Mengmeng has just arrived at the Eastern Palace and is bound to be a little unfamiliar. I will teach her more in the future. Besides, what happened today was not Sister Mengmeng's fault."

But the Marquis of Zhenguo was not moved at all. He still had a stern face and bowed to Xue Jinhua, saying, "My Lady, I am really ashamed. It is because of my negligence in discipline that my daughter is so ignorant of the rules and has caused you all this trouble. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive her and not blame her."

Xue Jinhua smiled slightly and responded softly, "Lord Zhenguo, your words are too serious. I will not care about these things. Since it is the family affair of the Duke Zhenguo Mansion, I will not disturb you."

After that, he turned his gaze to Zhao Yuting, "Since the Crown Prince's wife has an important matter at home, you should go back home to deal with it first. If there is such a good opportunity in the future, I will definitely discuss it with you again. What do you think?"

Xue Jin said with a smile, his tone seemed gentle, but in fact it was full of unquestionable majesty.

How could Zhao Yuting be willing to give up this opportunity when she finally got it? She bit her lips tightly and thought to herself: I must not miss it like this.

So, Zhao Yuting quickly said, "My Lady Crown Princess, the matters at home are not urgent and can be dealt with later. As the saying goes, it is better to do it today than to wait for a better day..."

However, before she could finish her words, the Marquis of Zhenguo beside her interrupted her sternly: "Shut up! I have warned you many times not to say any more. Are you completely turning a deaf ear to me? If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude!"

The angry shout from the Marquis Zhenguo startled everyone present.

Zhao Yuting's face was filled with anger. She couldn't understand why her father-in-law treated her like this today.

These days, I have always acted cautiously and carefully, and have not made any mistakes. Besides, the child is still under my care, so it is not right for the Duke of Zhenguo to do this.

Zhao Yuting raised her head indignantly, and happened to meet Xue Jin's half-smile on her face.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that this woman must have said something bad about her behind her back, which caused her father-in-law to change his attitude towards her drastically.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuting could no longer suppress her anger and shouted to the Marquis of Zhenguo: "Father, we are a family. You must not believe in other people's slanderous rumors!"

Xue Jinhua looked at her coldly at the situation she was in, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

She still didn't realize the mistakes she had made, and instead started to slander herself.

At first, considering the relationship with the Marquis of Zhenguo, Xue Jinhua intended to let her go, but now it seems that there is no need to do so.

Her face darkened and she opened her red lips slightly: "Since the Crown Prince's Consort is unrepentant and has no sense of shame, there is no need to show mercy to her. Come on! Bring her up."

Before he finished his words, there was a dragging sound outside the door, and then a bulging sack was thrown on the ground.

The person in the sack seemed to sense the movement outside and began to struggle desperately, making a muffled groan.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuting could not help but get angry. She widened her eyes and scolded, "Crown Princess, what on earth do you mean by this? How dare you tease me like this!"

"Princess Consort, in my opinion, the child in your belly is probably not the Crown Prince's, right?" Xue Jinhua said slowly, but her eyes were like sharp blades piercing Zhao Yuting.

When these words were spoken, not only Zhao Yuting was shocked, but even Zhou Mengmeng who was standing beside her was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

The face of the Marquis of Zhenguo suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.

"Nonsense...nonsense! Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yuting, who had come to her senses, yelled hysterically, her voice sharp and piercing, almost breaking.

At this moment, she no longer had the dignified and graceful appearance she had before. How could Zhao Yuting easily admit it? At this moment, she was so angry that she could hardly contain herself.

She stared at the Crown Princess with wide eyes, her voice was sharp and piercing: "Crown Princess, I know you are dissatisfied with me, but even so, I am still the Crown Prince's Consort of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. You slander me for no reason. Do you really think that there is no one in my Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

After saying this, her gaze became even more fierce, as if she wanted to intimidate the Crown Princess in this way.

However, all this was just her bluff.

In fact, her mind was already in a mess and she didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

But she knew that if she showed weakness now, she would never be able to hold her head up in the palace again.

When the Marquis of Zhenguo saw this scene, his face instantly became extremely gloomy. He frowned tightly and his lips trembled slightly, obviously he was very angry.

Although Zhou Mengmeng was also extremely angry, she still took into account her own and her family's reputation and did not dare to act as recklessly as Zhao Yuting.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said to the Crown Princess: "Your Highness, I'm sure you have misunderstood. My sister-in-law has always been timid. Even if she had the courage, she would never do such a thing!" Although her tone was polite, the dissatisfaction contained in it was evident.

Then, Zhou Mengmeng continued, "If the Crown Princess has any dissatisfaction or opinions about me, you can come to me directly. I will accept them humbly without any complaints. I just beg you to show mercy and not implicate innocent people." After saying this, she bowed slightly to show respect.

Zhao Yuting suddenly understood as if she had suddenly realized something. Then, a stronger anger surged in her heart. She roared angrily, "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, it turns out that you treat me like this because you are jealous of me for giving birth to a child and being appreciated by the Queen! I never thought that you are so petty."

"Even if you are dissatisfied with me, you can just tell me in person. Why do you have to insult me ​​here with such a despicable method?"

"But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that you would feel jealous. After all, the Crown Prince no longer favors you, and even the Queen is deeply dissatisfied with your failure to conceive."

"I guess it's difficult for you, Crown Princess, to get pregnant. Is that why you're trying so hard to slander me, hoping to make His Royal Highness dislike Zhou Niangdi?"

After hearing these words, Zhou Mengmeng's originally tense face became even more stiff, and her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

She could never have imagined that a princess like her could be so narrow-minded.

At this moment, the Marquis Zhenguo next to him finally couldn't suppress the rage burning in his heart any more. His brows were tightly furrowed. At this moment, the Marquis Zhenguo was so angry that his hair stood on end.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold him, he saw Xue Jinhua gently raise a hand, signaling him to calm down.

Therefore, the Marquis of Zhenguo had to suppress his anger and did not speak a word, but his chest was still heaving violently with anger.

Xue Jin said coldly, "Lord Zhenguo, you saw it with your own eyes. It's not that I don't want to save some face for your mansion, but some people don't know what's good for them and wantonly trample on the dignity of your mansion."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Marquis of Zhenguo felt ashamed, and his face, which was already red with shame, became even redder.

He lowered his head, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and muttered, "What the Crown Princess said is absolutely right. The situation has developed to this point, and it is all the fault of that evildoer. It is also because our Zhenguo Mansion was blind and trusted the wrong person... As long as we can calm the Crown Princess, no matter how we deal with him, everyone in our Zhenguo Mansion will have no complaints!"

Hearing the Marquis of Zhenguo's statement, Xue Jinhua's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible hint of emotion.

Then, she turned her gaze to Zhao Yuting, her eyes as sharp as a knife, and said in a cold voice: "Crown Princess, the situation is now clear. If you are willing to be honest and admit that the child is not the Crown Prince's, I can still make a break for you and let the matter be decided by the Zhenguo Mansion."

"But if you insist on being stubborn and unrepentant, don't blame me for being ruthless and making the whole capital city buzz with rumors and making everyone know about it!"

"Humph! Do you think that a person who is put into a sack can make up stories and confuse right and wrong here?"

"It's just a foolish dream! I tell you, it's absolutely impossible." Zhao Yuting's hair stood on end with anger, her eyebrows raised, her delicate face distorted by anger, her eyes widened, staring at the other person.

Not only that, she took a step forward and threatened in a condescending manner: "Does the Crown Princess think that as a member of the royal family, she can rely on her status to do whatever she wants? I won't buy it!"

However, facing Zhao Yuting's ruthless and aggressive words, Xue Jinhua remained calm, as if she had not heard them.

She narrowed her eyes, which were as deep as autumn water, and stared coldly at the stubborn Zhao Yuting in front of her.

Her gaze was like frost in a cold night, chilling.

As time passed, Zhao Yuting still showed no sign of repentance, but became more and more arrogant.

She raised her chin and looked at Xue Jinhua provocatively, as if she was sure that the other party could do nothing to her.

Finally, Xue Jinhua's taut string of patience broke completely.

She waved her sleeves fiercely, turned to look at Qingyi beside her, and said, "Qingyi, open that sack for me immediately!"
