My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

Chapter 2552 - 2552 Feeling Out Her Bottom Line

2552 Feeling Out Her Bottom Line

Why did Chen Baojia escape completely unscathed from the chaos?

She truly had some tricks up her sleeve!

Qiao Mu naturally did not really notice Chen Baojia in the chaos earlier.

Chen Baojia saluted with a smile upon seeing her and the Kang Prince Consort. Her eyes flashed as she asked, “The crown prince consort is planning to head back?”

“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded.

Chen Baojia nodded with a smile. “Then, Baojia will see the crown prince consort and the Kang Prince Consort out.”

Qiao Mu pursed her lips noncommittally.

This Young Lady Chen truly did not take herself to be an outsider.

She was also just the Zhongli Clan’s guest, yet she was seeing them out like the master of the house. It was truly absurd.

Chen Baojia gestured to the young crown prince consort and the Kang Prince Consort, seeing them out to the front entrance.

Afterwards, she inadvertently lifted the stray hairs in front of her forehead. She pretended to not care but also seemed to be tattling, “Baojia heard the servants at home gossip, but who knows whether it is true. Right now, the servants are all secretly spreading the word that not long after the crown prince consort came back, she sent the shrine’s Holy Daughter to prison one day and then beat up the Vassal King of Jianping’s eldest son on the next.”

“I just find it strange. What do these events have to do with them?”

The servants even discussed behind my back about how domineering the crown prince consort was. That she didn’t even cut the veterans in the palace slack and made Eunuch Li, Li Hongquan, bedridden from anger.”

“What nonsense are you spouting!” The Kang Prince Consort’s gaze turned sharp as she looked at Chen Baojia with displeasure.

Chen Baojia hastily smiled apologetically, “That’s right. I also thought that the servants were spouting nonsense. Do not worry, Crown Prince Consort. I have already reprimanded them and will ensure that they will not gossip about this again.”

Qiao Mu looked at her coldly.

Her pitch-black eyes shone with a cold light. When her gaze landed on Chen Baojia, the latter suddenly felt an arctic chill.

Qiao Mu curled her lips and looked at her meaningfully. “You were the one who sent Li Hongquan’s adopted son to feel me out.”

This was in the affirmative! There was no doubt in her voice.

Chen Baojia’s entire body abruptly froze.

“Are you satisfied now?”

News of the incident with Li Hongquan hadn’t even spread through the palace, yet she, the daughter of the Chen Estate, knew?

She didn’t believe that Chen Baojia was not behind it!

Chen Baojia touched her lips and then suddenly giggled. She swayed her waist and said, “You truly know how to joke around, Crown Prince Consort.”

“You know better than anyone else whether I am joking,” Qiao Mu said frigidly.

Chen Baojia felt a chill through her body. She couldn’t help but step back and say frantically, “Prince Consort, Crown Prince Consort, Baojia will be seeing you out to here and will not disturb you from going back.”

She was beating a retreat now?

Qiao Mu sidestepped and blocked her path. “What do you want to feel out? You want to feel out my bottom line in tolerating people? Then I can tell you directly.” Qiao Mu declared coldly, “Any kind of cheating, swindling, and concealing may tread on my bottom line! I will make their life a living hell.”

Chen Baojia’s body shook. She quickly curtsied and turned around to flee.

Qiao Mu harrumphed as she watched Chen Baojia beat it.
