Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

Watching Green Bamboo's departing figure, the murderous intent in Chu Yanran's eyes gradually subsided and eventually disappeared without a trace.

The real show has only just begun. She wants to see how Chu Yingge will handle this situation.

……

In the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence.

Chu Yingge felt inexplicably irritated. The flowers in her hands were already crumpled beyond recognition. It was truly surprising that she hadn't gone to find the culprit to cause trouble after escaping death this time.

It wasn't that she didn't want to, it's just that at this moment, she simply didn't have the mind to think about it.

Although Chu Yinnan wasn't a particularly important person to her, he still held some weight. Now that she knew the truth, who knew what Chu Yinnan would think?

Just thinking about this made Chu Yingge feel increasingly irritated, and the flowers in her hand became an innocent target of her ire.

"Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore," Chu Yingge shook her head and walked outside.

"Greetings, Ninth Miss." As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, maids and servants came to greet her.

Chu Yingge was puzzled. Normally no one would take her seriously, so why was she being so respectful today?

Although puzzled, he ultimately said nothing, nodded, and left the Prime Minister's residence.

After leaving the Prime Minister's residence, Chu Yingge stopped after a few steps, frowning unhappily at the people following behind her.

What are you doing following me?

The maids and servants behind them looked at each other, none daring to speak. They were just lowly maids, only responsible for following their masters' orders.

Anger was already faintly visible on her face. Chu Yingge took a step forward, coldly glanced at the maids and servants in front of her, and made up her mind.

"But did Madam order you to follow me?" Chu Yingge asked in a deep voice.

One of the old women, perhaps not wanting to offend Chu Yingge, quickly stepped forward: "Ninth Miss, please don't make things difficult for us servants. We are just maids!"

"I understand." Chu Yingge looked like she knew it all.

She originally didn't want to cause trouble for Chu Yanran, but now it seems she has no choice but to. It's a good opportunity to settle both old and new scores at the same time!

Pushing aside the maids and servants in front of her, Chu Yingge walked towards the Prime Minister's residence. Arriving at Chu Yanran's courtyard, she kicked open the door to Chu Yanran's room. Upon seeing the person inside, her anger intensified.

"Chu Yanran, I think you're really tired of living. What? Your face injury hasn't even healed yet, and you're already causing trouble!"

"What are you saying, little sister? I don't understand." Chu Yanran pretended to be confused, looking at herself in the bronze mirror and suppressing her murderous intent.

Zhang Shi slowly walked over, and looking at the maids and servants behind her, she knew why Chu Yingge had come.

"Yinge, have the maids and servants been neglecting their duties?"

"What do you think, Madam?" Chu Yingge asked in return.

With her hands tucked into her sleeves, Madam Zhang adopted the demeanor of a matriarch, and said sternly, "These unknown people can't even serve this Ninth Miss properly?"

Upon hearing this, the maids and servants behind Chu Yingge all knelt down and begged for mercy. Alas, this was clearly a feud between the masters, yet they, the servants, had to take the blame!

Even if Chu Yingge were stupid, she could see that this was clearly a play, and besides, she wasn't stupid.

"Madam, why pretend you don't know? You haven't paid any attention to Yingge for over a decade. This grand gesture is truly overwhelming for Yingge!"

"Of course! You used to be just an unfavored concubine's daughter, but now you are the Seventh Prince's Consort, personally betrothed by the Emperor. As the head mistress of the household, I naturally dare not neglect you."

As the saying goes, "Old ginger is spicier," and his words were comprehensive, leaving no stone unturned, and without the slightest deficiency.

It satirizes Chu Yingge's rise to power and explains why maids and servants are now placed around her.

Chu Yingge glanced at Zhang Shi up and down, her hand clenching and unclenching in her sleeve. She said nice things, that she dared not neglect the Seventh Princess Consort, but anyone with eyes could see that Zhang Shi was actually keeping her under house arrest.

Finding such a grand and impressive reason is truly ingenious and shows considerable thought.

However, where Chu Yingge goes is none of anyone else's business. Since Zhang Shi is willing to monitor her, then let Zhang Shi monitor her. Anyway, she has plenty of ability to leave the Prime Minister's residence.

Thinking of this, Chu Yingge's face lit up with a bright smile. She smiled knowingly at Madam Zhang and said, "Yingge didn't know that Madam had such thoughts. I misunderstood Madam's good intentions. Since these maids and servants are Madam's good intentions, then I will accept them. It just so happens that there is no one to take care of the backyard."

Zhang was taken aback, probably not expecting Chu Yingge to compromise so easily. However, being a worldly person, she quickly regained her composure.

"I feel much more at ease knowing that Yinge thinks this way."

"Then I'll take my leave." After saying that, Chu Yingge turned around and made to leave. Just as she reached the door, she turned back and stared at Chu Yanran's veiled face without moving.

"I had an argument with my sister that day, and I accidentally hit her. I hope my sister won't blame me."

"It's alright, I'm magnanimous and won't hold a grudge against a petty person." Chu Yanran calmed herself down and was not angered by Chu Yingge.

Chu Yingge smiled. This Chu Yanran had indeed become much more composed, and hadn't been provoked by her. However, she wasn't only capable of this.

"I never expected you to be so forgiving, sister. But a woman's reputation is the most important thing. If this can't be cured, I'm afraid you'll never be able to get married!"

"You...!" No matter how composed Chu Yanran was, Chu Yingge finally hit a nerve.

Zhang hurriedly came over and pulled her daughter back. Sure enough, in front of that little bitch Chu Yingge, her daughter was ultimately inferior. She had only said a few words before her true nature was exposed, showing how utterly worthless she was.

"Yinge, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back. Yanran needs to rest."

"Perfect timing, I also have something to do."

Having achieved her goal, Chu Yingge naturally wouldn't linger any longer. After all, Chu Yanran's territory clashed with her aura, and staying there for too long would easily lead to suffocation and oxygen deprivation.

Watching Chu Yingge's departing figure, Chu Yanran picked up the teacup beside her and threw it at her, her face contorted with rage.

“Mother, did you see it? She was mocking her daughter like that!”

"Don't be anxious or angry." Madam Zhang walked to the side, poured a cup of tea for her daughter, and instructed someone to clean up the broken teacup pieces on the ground.

Her daughter is good in every way, except that she's a little impatient. She's been repeatedly defeated by that bitch Chu Yingge, and hasn't learned a single lesson.

"Don't worry, that little bitch Chu Yingge won't be able to cause trouble for long. Why bother arguing with her and lowering yourself?"
