Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder She Wants to Be a Vicious Female Supporting Role

Chapter 316: The Reborn Girl’s Cannon Fodder Sister (20)

When Chen Mingzhu thought about what she had just said to Lan Xin to show off her husband, she couldn't accept it and fainted.

"Jewel!"

Mrs. Chen, who was standing next to Chen Mingzhu, saw her daughter faint from anger and hurriedly reached out to support Chen Mingzhu.

He turned around, looking protective of his child, and glared fiercely at Zhou Qing and the woman he was holding in his arms. He said, "Zhou Qing, just wait for me!" and then took Chen Mingzhu back to the Shangshu Mansion.

Mrs. Chen, who had made such harsh remarks, naturally wanted to go back and ask her father and Chen's father to give Zhou Qing a good beating, but she didn't expect that Zhou Qing had already clung to the Third Prince's thigh by relying on some information about his previous life that he had obtained from Chen Mingzhu.

How could someone like Chen's father, who attached great importance to currying favor with the powerful, easily let go of such a good opportunity to curry favor with the Third Prince? In the end, what Madam Chen said about wanting to severely punish Zhou Qing had to be left unresolved.

Chen Mingzhu was also sent back to the Zhou family by her father. Zhou Qing was a very good coaxer. Later, no one knew what Zhou Qing said, but Chen Mingzhu was coaxed into accepting Zhou Qing's decision to take Lian'er as a concubine.

With the support of the Third Prince, Zhou Qing was promoted three levels in just a few months and became a fifth-rank Minister of War.

Although Zhou Qing was only an assistant minister of the Ministry of War, he was able to climb to this position so quickly considering his age. In the eyes of those who did not know him, Zhou Qing was a man of incredible talent.

Because of this, Chen Mingzhu was sought after by many noble ladies and ladies in the capital. She was a person who liked to show off and was not very smart. After hearing so many words of praise for her, she began to become arrogant and complacent.

............

this day......

At a flower-viewing banquet for the noble ladies of the capital organized by the Crown Princess.

"This is a flower viewing banquet hosted by the Crown Princess. Lan Xin, how did you, a mere county lady, get in?"

Seeing Lan Xin coming in, Chen Mingzhu, who was originally surrounded by a group of noble ladies and had been smiling ostentatiously, quickly pulled down her face and instructed the maids and old women serving around her:

"Someone, throw Lan Xin out for me!"

The tone of voice was so domineering that those who didn't know would think that Lan Xin, a county lady appointed by the emperor himself, was some low-ranking official title.

In fact...

Not to mention that the county lord is only one level lower than the princess, the fact that Lan Xin is the wife of Marquis Zhao alone is not something that Chen Mingzhu, the wife of a fifth-rank minister, can reprimand.

but......

At this moment, Chen Mingzhu was a little flattered by others, and she was eager to show her status in front of those who admired her by pulling down Lan Xin.

"The Marquis' wife was naturally invited by this Crown Princess herself! Why? Do you have any objections?"

Before Lan Xin could speak, the Crown Princess's angry voice sounded behind Chen Mingzhu.

When Chen Mingzhu heard the voice, she turned around hurriedly and saw the Crown Princess walking towards them with the support of maids and servants.

"The...Crown Princess."

Chen Mingzhu's face turned pale in an instant. She quickly knelt on the ground with the others and said tremblingly, "Greetings...Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Normally, Chen Mingzhu only acted arrogantly in front of those ladies who flattered her because of the Third Prince. But at this moment, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that the Crown Princess in front of her, whom even the Third Prince had to respectfully call "Imperial Sister-in-law" on the surface, was not someone she could afford to offend.

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Princess."

As the Crown Princess finished speaking, everyone stood up after bowing to express their gratitude. Chen Mingzhu, who had been kneeling behind the ladies, also stood up. Seeing that the Crown Princess just picked up the tea and started drinking it, she thought that the Crown Princess had let her go and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Just the next moment...

"Madam Zhou, didn't you hear what I asked just now?"

The Crown Princess's emotionless voice came, and Chen Mingzhu was so frightened that she trembled and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. That is not what I meant."

The Crown Princess threw the teacup in her hand over. "What do you mean? Not to mention that the Marquis's wife is now the County Lord personally appointed by the Emperor, even if she is not, her status is not something that a fifth-rank lady like you can casually scold. You really have such a big face!"

"I......"

Chen Mingzhu knelt on the ground, her face pale with fear, and she couldn't say anything in defense for a while.

The Crown Princess looked at Chen Mingzhu expressionlessly and ordered, "Come here, Madam Zhou is disrespectful of the law and committing insubordination. Drag her to the courtyard and make her kneel for an hour."

"do not want!"

When Chen Mingzhu heard that the Crown Princess was going to punish her by making her kneel down simply because she had yelled at Lan Xin, she immediately became anxious and began to kowtow and beg for mercy, "No, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

The Crown Princess ignored Chen Mingzhu's pleas for mercy and said coldly, "Drag him away!"

The Crown Princess had long been dissatisfied with the Third Prince's faction who were ambitious to seize the throne. Now she had an excuse to kill the Third Prince's faction's prestige, so naturally she would not let Chen Mingzhu off easily.

As soon as the Crown Princess finished speaking, a group of maids and servants rushed over, ready to drag Chen Mingzhu to the yard to be punished.

"No! I don't want to be punished to kneel. Sister, please tell Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess that what we just said was just a few jokes."

Seeing that begging for mercy from the Crown Princess was useless, Chen Mingzhu turned to Lan Xin, wanting Lan Xin to help her say a few good words to the Crown Princess.

"Whether it's a joke or not, you know it in your heart."

Lan Xin turned her head away and ruthlessly rejected Chen Mingzhu's plea.

Not to mention that Chen Mingzhu's original intention was to pull her down and also wanted her to plead for her, Chen Mingzhu.

What are you dreaming about?

She, Lan Xin, has never been one to repay evil with kindness.

not to mention......

The Crown Princess appeared to be trying to redeem herself for Lan Xin, but in reality she was just taking the opportunity to slap the Third Prince and his faction in the face.

Anyone present who was not a fool could see the Crown Princess's intention. Lan Xin was not stupid. She would not ruin the Crown Princess's plan just because of a simple plea from Chen Mingzhu.

In the end, Chen Mingzhu was dragged to the yard by the maids and old women and made to kneel for a long time, making the ladies and young ladies present laugh at her. This was a great humiliation for Chen Mingzhu.

This also caused Chen Mingzhu's resentment towards Lan Xin to deepen.

After kneeling for a full hour, Chen Mingzhu limped past Lan Xin, supported by her maid. She stared at Lan Xin with a venomous look, "Lan Xin, are you very proud?"
