Novel Full Chapter 581: Wretched
“Could it be that you’re deluding yourself into thinking that you could win His Highness’s favor with your looks?” Eldest Junior Wei’s wife, Madam née Bo, was currently burning up with skyrocketing anger after gaining nothing from the marquis’s estate. Hearing Madam née Sun’s words, she immediately started mocking and ridiculing the mother and daughter pair, just like in the past.
How could Wei Mingli swallow this anger? She pointed at Madam née Bo and hollered furiously, “What do you mean? What’s wrong with my looks? Do I look hideous? You old lady look like a crooked date, so repulsive, and you still dare to ridicule others? Why don’t you save yourself the trouble.”
Madam née Bo instantly flew into a rage. On the other hand, Madam née Sun was frightened into being as silent as a cicada in winter, and she vigorously pulled at her daughter’s hem, gesturing for her to stop talking.
“You sassy little b*tch, is this how you speak to your elders?” Madam née Bo was not to be trifled with. After all, the second branch’s mother and daughter pair had been meekly relying on their eldest branch for survival all this time. How dare they defy her authority now?
How was Madam née Bo willing to endure this resentment? She rushed forward, and taking advantage of her broad and plump body, she grabbed ahold of Wei Mingli’s hair before giving her two crisp slaps across the face.
“I’m hitting you for not knowing etiquette! Let me see if you b*tchy little hussy still dare to climb all over me!”
“Ah!” Wei Mingli only felt pain from Madam née Bo’s nails scratching the left side of her face. After touching her cheek, she could see a hint of blood on her fingers, and she was immediately annoyed, resentful, scared, and furious, all at once.
“B*tchy little hussy, it’s wishful thinking to dream of soaring to the heavens to turn into a phoenix! Why don’t you look in the mirror to see what you like! Men have to be blind to fancy you! The other party is the aloof and detached royal crown prince! Yet who do you think you are! Don’t blame other people for looking down on you when you’re the one asking to be humiliated!” Madam née Bo said the nastiest words she could, scolding Wei Mingli into crying from anger.
Madam née Sun was clumsy in speech and didn’t dare to refute Madam née Bo, so she pulled her daughter’s hand and persuaded, “Alright, alright. Speak less, don’t quarrel with your Eldest Aunt.”
Yet at her persuasion, Wei Mingli only felt her heart grow cold, and she fiercely flung away Madam née Sun’s hand while screaming, “Go away! Are you still my real mother? You still have to gall to persuade me to stop talking when you see your daughter being bullied like this? That old lady has been the one scolding me this entire time! I hate you! I hate you all! I hate you all to death!”
Wei Mingli started bawling at once. Suddenly, she turned around and hightailed it out of there, disappearing without a trace shortly afterwards.
Madam née Sun was so shocked that her whole body trembled, after which she put down pride to beg Madam née Bo, “Eldest Sister-in-Law, don’t be angry with a child! Look at how we’ve only just arrived at the capital and there are so many people here, so what if Mingli gets lost? We should quickly follow to look for her.”
“Go yourself if you want to look for her! That b*tchy little hussy has only gotten lustful, what use is it in minding her? Maybe she has long wanted to leave us and go find a random man somewhere.” Madam née Bo flung away Madam née Sun’s hand forcefully and gave her a contemptuous glance.
These words jabbed at Madam née Sun’s heart, and her face turned ghastly pale while her lips quivered. However, she subconsciously didn’t dare to refute Madam née Bo.
“What are you all bickering about? This here is Minshun Boulevard! The place where all the officials are gathered. If there’s nothing happening, the common people are prohibited from loitering and making a racket here. Go go go! Everyone get out of here!” After receiving the news, the city guards ran over and started driving the people away without a second word.
Elderly Lady roared and was just about to rush forward to bang on the marquis’s estate’s main door, but Xu Jiao yanked her away forcefully. “Mom! Let’s leave here first, we’ll take our time to make plans after leaving!”
The group had come in high spirits, but left wretchedly.
