BXBX NOVEL Chapter 355: Dismissing You is Just a Matter of Speaking a Sentence
Ms. Ma knelt on the ground, covering her face, feeling extremely wronged. “From the beginning to the end, all of this is the Princess Consort of Yu’s plot. Your Highness, why won’t you let me speak out, and let Emperor Father stand up for us?”
“Fool!”
With his chest heaving violently, Li Jixian pointed at her and scolded, “How could I have been so blind to marry such a fool like you! If you had even half the heart as the Princess Consort of Yu, we would not have been repeatedly outsmarted in the East Palace!”
Ms. Ma’s heart was filled with resentment.
What about her?
She admitted she was not that beautiful, nor clever.
But for so many years, she had served wholeheartedly, birthing four daughters and one son for the royal house.
Even if she had not made substantial contributions, she had certainly endured hardships.
Why was it that as soon as she was compared to Jiang Ning, she became nothing?
No matter how good Jiang Ning was, she was still somebody else’s daughter-in-law!
Ms. Ma gritted her teeth almost to the point of shattering them.
She swore she would never let Jiang Ning live easily.
“Your Highness called me a fool, I can accept that. But how could Jiang Ning have gone to the Emperor Father to make such a fuss about what happened last time here, and I can’t bring up today’s events?”
“So many people outside saw you arguing with the Princess Consort of Yu, they all saw her stirring things up, do you think Emperor Father doesn’t know?”
“Since Emperor Father knows, then why…”
“Because he doesn’t want to, and can’t punish her!”
“He can’t?” Ms. Ma was taken aback.
“Use your foolish brain to think carefully. In a few days, Jiang Mubai is going to visit the capital. Do you think the Emperor Father will punish the Jiang Family and not give face to Jiang Mubai, just for your trivial matter?”
“No matter how capable Jiang Mubai is, he’s but a mere minister…”
“Ha.” Li Jixian sneered, “Just a mere minister? You’ve said it now. He is indeed a minister, but Great Sheng needs him, the Emperor Father needs him to fight battles! Do you expect a fool like you to lead the army and establish stability at the borders?”
“So our royal house is just going to be at the mercy of a minister? Couldn’t we simply strip him of his military power? Isn’t that something Emperor Father could do with a simple word?”
“Fool! What do you understand about imperial court matters!”
Having no interest in arguing with her any further, Li Jixian landed a punch on her that directly hit her heart and furiously said, “Starting from today, the matters of the East Palace will be managed by Concubine Ping, and the child will also be sent to her!”
Ms. Ma was horrified, “Your Highness, why? The child is mine, why should it be raised by Concubine Ping? I am the Crown Prince’s Main Consort, what does she amount to?”
“After all the trouble you’ve caused, you still have the face to say that?”
Ms. Ma, driven to despair, fumed with layers of hostility. She climbed to her feet and roared, “It’s all Princess Consort of Yu’s fault, but instead of dealing with her, Your Highness treats your own home like the enemy! What kind of man are you?”
Slap!
Li Jixian smacked her onto the ground with a slap.
Ms. Ma wobbled and fell onto the ground.
Li Jixian pointed at her and coldly said, “You think I would let her off? Not to mention her, even you, if I wanted to dispose of you, it’s a matter of a single word. You’re only remaining because of Jun’er. Make any more trouble, and you should remember the consequences.”
Li Jixian turned to leave angrily.
Ms. Ma continued to kneel on the ground, covering her face, crying hysterically.
Her fingernails dug into her flesh, and she gritted her teeth, murmuring to herself, “Jiang Ning, you’ve made me like this, I will never let you go, I will never let you live easily, I will kill you!”
After the End-of-Year Sacrifice Festival, the New Year approaches.
The festive atmosphere in the streets and alleys grows thicker each day.
Jiang Ning was also very busy.
She was not busy with New Year’s preparations.
Initially, it was because Wenzan had a slight fever.
Children having a fever is normal, so at first, Jiang Ning was quite calm. But after Wenzan’s fever had continued for two days, Lingzi also started to have a fever. Not only that, Lingzi also began to vomit and had diarrhea..
