Chapter 477: I’m Asking Who You Are
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The moment Gou Houxing saw the buildings in Carefree City, he became excited. “Her Majesty, we’re here. We’re almost there!”
n.o.ble Consort Ling smiled and reminded, “Call me Madam You.”
Gou Houxing patted his mouth and hurriedly corrected himself. “Yes, Madam You!”
Behind n.o.ble Consort Ling’s carriage was the carriage of Wen Caixiu.
Wen Caixiu kept snorting as her maidservant rubbed her stomach. “Madam, we’re about to reach Carefree City. Let’s see a doctor. It won’t hurt anymore in a while.”
Wen Caixiu suddenly sat up and pulled open the curtain to look outside. “Turn to the side and look for Uncle Zhao!”
Wen Caixiu was Village Chief Zhao’s distant relative. Village Chief Zhao’s family had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Great Empress. The reason why Jiang s.h.i.+qing could become Mayor of Changqing town was more or less because of their relations.h.i.+p.
Now that Wen Caixiu had been beaten up, she immediately thought of Village Chief Zhao. She wanted Village Chief Zhao to seek justice for her. It would be best if she could even go to the Great Empress and let her teach them a lesson.
The carriage turned to the side and arrived at the food cultivation base. Before Wen Caixiu got out of the carriage, she learned that Village Chief Zhao had brought his men elsewhere in the southern frontier to plant the medicinal field for the season.
Since Village Chief Zhao was not around, she would look for Auntie Yang.
After all, they were family. Auntie Yang would definitely not ignore her.
n.o.ble Consort Ling’s carriage approached.
When Jiang s.h.i.+qing realized that his family’s carriage was following behind n.o.ble Consort Ling, he was immediately shocked.
To be personally welcomed by Chu Tianbao, this must be a big shot.
His family’s carriage was so close. There must not be any conflict between them.
Wen Caixiu suddenly saw Auntie Yang and her three daughters-in-law in the crowd, she shouted at the coachman, “Overtake the carriage in front!”
The coachman turned around. “There’s a carriage escorted by cavalry ahead. We’ll offend someone if we overtake them.”
Wen Caixiu was really brainless. “I told you to overtake them. The Great Empress said that the cavalry is to protect the commoners, not bully them. When 1 make my complaint later, they will no longer be able to stay arrogant.”
The coachman was extremely unwilling. Wen Caixiu pulled the reins angrily. The horse was frightened and suddenly sped up, charging towards n.o.ble Consort Ling’s team.
Wen Caixiu cried out in surprise. The dark guard flew up from the horse’s back and instantly controlled the carriage.
After the false alarm, Wen Caixiu was filled with lingering fear. In the next second, the dark guard kicked her out of the carriage.
Wen Caixiu rolled a few times in front of everyone. Her hair bun was in a mess and she was made a fool. She shouted angrily at Auntie Yang, “Auntie, help me report to the authorities. They’ve hit me twice!”
Auntie Yang stood still and looked at her in a speechless manner.
The three daughters-in-law beside Auntie Yang simply rolled their eyes.
The person they hated the most was the pretentious Wen Caixiu. Everyone knew that the people in the carriage were very important to Chu Tianbao. It was not enough for her to cause trouble herself, but she even wanted to implicate their family.
n.o.ble Consort Ling was helped out of the carriage by Chu Tianbao. The eldest daughter-in-law was fl.u.s.tered and retorted angrily, “If you didn’t do anything, will she hit you? You deserve it!”
Wen Caixiu got up and shouted righteously, “What did Ido!! It’s not right for them to hit people!!!”
“Even if I have to go in front of the Great Empress, 1 am not in the wrong!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang s.h.i.+qing suddenly jumped out and slapped Wen Caixiu.
Wen Caixiu was stunned by the slap. She was in a daze for a long time before jumping up crazily and roaring at Jiang s.h.i.+qing, “How dare you hit me? 1 want to divorce you. Our two sons won’t follow you! I won’t let those vixens take advantage of my a.s.sets!”
She shouted at the top of her lungs, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.
Normally, everyone would sympathize with her.
However, she had just offended someone that even Chu Tianbao valued!
Jiang s.h.i.+qing did not want to continue living with the ignorant and rude Wen Caixiu. Seeing that she had offended Chu Tianbao, he did not hesitate to throw away his p.a.w.n to protect the carriage. “So be it! Let’s go now! I’ve had enough. I won’t give you any of our sons. With your behaviour, you are not fit to be a mother at all.”
Wen Caixiu was agitated and directly attacked him. “Jiang s.h.i.+qing, you’re a piece of tras.h.!.+ If you want me to give up my position to the vixen, bah, dream on. Even if I die, 1 won’t let you get your way!”
Suddenly, Wen Caixiu glanced at Chu Tianbao from the corner of her eye and then at n.o.ble Consort Ling, who was standing beside Chu Tianbao.
In an instant, her cursing stopped.
Why was Chu Tianbao standing with this woman?
The two of them were still so close?
No matter what their relations.h.i.+p was, Wen Caixiu panicked. She was so frightened that her legs began to tremble.
Chu Tianbao looked coldly at Wen Caixiu and asked Gou Houxing, “What’s wrong with her?”
Gou Houxing got angry when he saw her. “Madam went to the shop to buy yarn, but she insisted on s.n.a.t.c.hing it. Her Majesty gave in, but she still pushed her luck and bought all the yarn in the shop. The worst thing was that she insulted Madam and even insisted on buying the little hat Madam knitted, so 1 beat her up.”
Chu Tianbao’s gaze turned cold. “Bring them here!”
“Yes!”
When Wen Caixiu was dragged over, she only had one thought in her mind. It was over, it was over. She wondered if Chu Tianbao could spare her this time on account of their relations.h.i.+p in Youjia village.
She really thought that n.o.ble Consort Ling was just a vixen raised by some man from the 30 families of Qinghe.
If she reported n.o.ble Consort Ling for being arrogant, she could even let her husband make his presence known in front of the Great Empress. Who would have thought that she had such high status that even Chu Tianbao would personally come out to welcome her?
Meeting Chu Tianbao’s cold scrutinizing gaze, Wen Caixiu shrank her neck like a turtle.
Chu Tianbao questioned coldly in public, “Who are you?”
Wen Caixiu trembled in fear. “I know my mistake. Master Chu, no, Duke Chu, please let me off this time. I shouldn’t have s.n.a.t.c.hed her things!”
Her words were extremely misleading. Those who didn’t know better would think that n.o.ble Consort Ling was bullying others.
Chu Tianbao’s expression changed. “I’m asking who you are.”
His unquestionable tone made Wen Caixiu finally respond directly, “I’m Wen Caixiu.”
Jiang s.h.i.+qing did not dare to say another word of nonsense. “I’m Mayor Changqing, Jiang s.h.i.+qing.”
Chu Tianbao looked at Wen Caixiu. “Why did he hit you twice? Tell me clearly. The storeowner will be brought over later to verify your claim.”
He might as well make her confess.
Wen Caixiu looked at Auntie Yang bitterly, begging her to help her say a word. After all, nothing had happened to n.o.ble Consort Ling, and she had always been the one at a disadvantage.
When Auntie Yang received her distress signal, she turned around and left. The three daughters-in-law hurriedly followed and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, their mother-in-law did not interfere.
Seeing that she did not say a word for a long time, Gou Houxing said. “Do you want me to help you answer?!”
Wen Caixiu was kicked by him and her stomach was still aching. She braced herself and opened her mouth. “I…”
Gou Houxing said, “Are you speaking to the mosquitoes? Louder!”
