Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

"That's fine," said Madam Chu. "I brought them back so I could deal with Cui away from the eyes of Chu Hengsheng and his two grandsons."

Madam Chu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, then spoke as if she were explaining something very simple. "You two may not know, but this time, as the Northern Di army was approaching, Cui secretly packed up her things and prepared to leave. When others learned of her actions, they all speculated that the Chu army was unsure of the outcome, causing panic among the people. If it weren't for the sudden conflict between the Western Qiang and the Northern Di, her actions would have nearly broken the morale of the army and added an extra variable to the situation."

The Queen Mother frowned, "Why would she do this? Is she crazy?"

Madam Chu closed her eyes helplessly, her face filled with sorrow. "Because she secretly arranged the eldest prince's marriage, Chu Hengsheng found out and scolded her. Then, because she punished a concubine by making her kneel in the snow, it almost resulted in a death, and I scolded her severely. So she held a grudge and wanted only to return to the capital, which is why she did all those foolish things. Foolish people are unaware of their own mistakes and invite disaster, which may lead to great trouble."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

"Alas, marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations."

The Empress Dowager and Old Madam Yan were both silent.

Such a daughter-in-law will drag down the family in big and small matters, and will be full of calculations, leading future generations astray. They will not tolerate this either.

The old lady of the Chu family is not young anymore. If she doesn't get rid of Cui as soon as possible, when she dies, Cui will become the mistress of the Chu family, and the Chu family's century-long glory will be destroyed in her hands.

Madam Chu was right. We are not afraid of being mediocre, but we are afraid of being stupid and bad without knowing it.

backyard.

Chu Qianxue ran out of the house and headed straight for Merlin, and saw Xiao Chenze and Shen Li from a distance.

At that time, two people were standing opposite each other, standing under a plum tree in full bloom, and the petals fluttered down in the wind.

Occasionally it would fall on Shen Li's head or shoulders, and Xiao Chenze would naturally reach out his hand to brush it away for her.

Chu Qianxue could see clearly that Xiao Chenze's eyes were filled with deep affection when he looked at Shen Li.

That was the look she wanted to see in her dreams, gentle, affectionate, and nostalgic. Anyone who was looked at by her would want to melt in such eyes.

Her heart was broken.

How could she bear the fact that her cousin, whom she had been dreaming of marrying since she was old enough to understand, was seduced by another girl?

In a blink of an eye, she saw Xiao Chenze stretching out his arms, protecting Shen Li against his chest, shielding her from the falling snow on the trees, and her hatred was instantly ignited.

No matter how strong the winter wind was, it could not extinguish her gushing anger. She rushed forward with great momentum and pounced on Shen Li.

Xu Fei had been on guard nearby and had already seen Chu Qianxue acting like a madman. He thought something was wrong and hurried to stop her.

Because she was a girl from the Chu family, Xu Fei didn't use much force, so how could he stop her?

Instead, he was pushed back by Chu Qianxue and staggered a few steps. After finally standing firm, Xu Fei looked back in surprise and was about to increase his strength to stop him.

Xiao Chenze raised his leg and hit Chu Qianxue who was flying towards him.

Chu Qianxue flew backwards and hit the snow pile in the corner with a bang. Snow and mud instantly splashed all over her body, and even her head and face were covered with mud spots, making her look miserable.

She hurriedly climbed out of the snow and looked at Xiao Chenze in disbelief, "Cousin, you kicked me?"

Xiao Chenze ignored her, turned to look at Xu Fei, and said coldly, "This prince does not keep useless people."

Xu Fei shuddered with fear.

Chu Qianxue went for Miss Shen.

The master was warning him that if he couldn't even stop Chu Qianxue, he was no different from a waste.

In the eyes of the master, no one can mess with Miss Shen, not even the Chu family.

He quickly knelt on one knee and said, "I know I am wrong. Please punish me, Master."

No one paid any attention to Chu Qianxue.

She was so angry that she was shaking all over. Without thinking, she suddenly pulled out a long whip from her sleeve and whipped Shen Li.

"This is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. I am the master. I can beat anyone I want. Don't try to stop me."

This is a warning to everyone, including the eldest prince.

She attacked ruthlessly and spoke in an angry tone. Jealousy burned her mind and she wished she could tear Shen Li into pieces immediately.

A cold light flashed in Shen Li's eyes.

Xiao Chenze quickly flashed in front of Shen Li to block her. The long whip was swung towards him, but he grabbed it and pulled it towards him, and the long whip slipped out of Chu Qianxue's hand.

"Xu Fei."

Xiao Chenze shouted coldly, then threw it away.

Xu Fei rushed over and took the whip in his hand.

Then Xiao Chenze uttered two words, "Burned."

"Yes."

Without saying a word, Xu Fei jumped up with the whip and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Shen Li glared at Chu Qianxue coldly, a small flame ignited in her eyes, but she controlled it in an instant.

Chu Qianxue seemed a little confused without the whip in her hand.

Before she came out, she was just angry and never thought that her cousin would protect Shen Li and even attack her.

This was too much for her impulsive mind to accept.

Grievance, depression, embarrassment, and resentment all flooded into my heart.

She looked at Shen Li standing behind her cousin and spat fiercely, "Don't be a coward if you have the ability, you witch."

Shen Li was surprised.

I knew Chu Qianxue was stupid, but I didn't expect her to be so stupid.

It is true that jealousy can completely change a person's character.

She walked out from behind Xiao Chenze. Xiao Chenze wanted to block her again, but she gently pushed him away.

Chu Qianxue watched the interaction between the two, and her anger grew more and more, burning out the little bit of her brain left.

"The witch is out, what do you want?" Shen Li looked at her coldly, with a noble posture and arrogant eyes.

Chu Qianxue became even more angry and embarrassed when she saw her condescending attitude.

"Get out of my house, you witch," she cursed, "How dare you come to my house and seduce the eldest prince? You are indeed Shen Zhaojiang's child. You can do nothing but scheme for personal gain. You country bumpkin..."

Unexpectedly, Shen Li did not get angry as she expected. Instead, she nodded calmly and said to her, "Yes, I did charm the eldest prince, and it was successful. Even the emperor granted us a marriage. So what?"

Chu Qianxue was so angry that her liver hurt. "You, you shameless witch, you you you..."

"Can you change the word?" Shen Li said angrily, "You want to seduce me, but your cousin doesn't like you and doesn't even want to take you as a concubine. What can I do? You're so pitiful."

Chu Qianxue was furious. She shook off the mud and water on her head and face, and rushed forward again while howling.

Suddenly, Shen Li disappeared.

Chu Qianxue was stunned, but she couldn't stop her feet. She hurriedly tried to grab Xiao Chenze's clothes, but Xiao Chenze turned to the side without leaving a trace. She missed and fell into another pile of snow and mud.

When she raised her head again, her face was covered with mud, a horrible sight.

puff.

Shen Li's laughter came from behind. Chu Qianxue turned around and saw Shen Li standing next to Xiao Chenze like that, her eyes red with anger.

"Someone, catch her for me." She shouted, and when she stood up, she held snow in both hands and threw it hard at Shen Li.
