After being divorced, she overturned the capital and seized the empress's position!

“Princess Qing, the Third Miss and the Fourth Miss are also injured, you…” Before the steward could finish speaking, Princess Qing kicked him: “How dare you! Who gave you the right to speak here? Hand over Song Yue right now!”

The butler was beaten and covered his face, not daring to say a word.

Having received the news late, Madam Tao saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance of Yuehua Pavilion. Her eyelids twitched, and she mustered her courage to step forward: "Princess Qing, let's talk things out. Why make such a fuss?"

Princess Qing glanced at Madam Tao, completely disregarding her: "If the Duke of Jing's family can't teach their daughters, then I will teach them for you. If you don't hand her over within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, don't blame me for turning ruthless."

Tao frowned, feeling that Princess Qing was too domineering.

"The Duke of Jingguo's mansion is a century-old family, and no one has ever dared to come here so presumptuously. You are a princess consort, and to make things difficult for a junior like this clearly shows that you do not respect the Duke's mansion." Tao Shi emboldened herself and continued, "You brought people to our door without asking about the cause and effect. Princess Consort Qing, how dare you!"

Threatened, Princess Qing narrowed her eyes and looked at Madam Tao.

Princess Zhennan gently tugged at Princess Qing's sleeve, then turned to Tao and said, "Song Yue was disfigured in the street by the magistrate of Longqing County, and now she's hiding inside and won't come out. Princess Qing is worried about her daughter and came to demand an explanation. What's wrong with that?"

Tao was surprised, not expecting Song Yue to be so bold as to cause such a big trouble. She glanced at the tightly closed door and then calmed herself down: "The princess is not in the manor now, and the whole story is not up to you alone. Why don't we wait for the princess to return? If Yue'er really made a mistake, the princess will definitely give the Prince Qing's manor an explanation in person."

"Stop your nonsense!" Princess Qing shoved Tao aside, her eyes flashing sharp: "Break down the door!"

"and many more!"

The Dowager arrived just in time, panting heavily: "Princess Qing has come without asking. It is really presumptuous of her to come to our door like this. If you want justice, we have elders in our household."

Princess Qing was furious: "Then what's the meaning of you protecting people? Call them out and explain yourselves clearly."

The old lady was speechless, then called out towards the door, "Open the door and let Yue'er come out."

"Mother, no!" Tao panicked. "My sister-in-law hasn't returned yet. It's not too late to hand over Yue'er when she comes back. What if something happens to Yue'er? How will we explain it to my sister-in-law?"

If she can't protect Song Yue, Princess Yi Jiahua's temper will directly overturn the Duke of Jingguo's mansion.

The old lady paused for a moment.

“Madam, one should take responsibility for one’s own actions. This matter has nothing to do with you, and I will not hold it against you. As for Princess Jiahua’s domineering behavior, if you want to settle scores, feel free to come to me.” Princess Qing had someone help the Madam aside.

Tao refused to give way: "No, no."

Princess Qing's patience ran out, and with a single glance, she ordered her men to pull Tao Shi away. When Tao Shi saw Song Hengchuan, she looked at him as if he were her savior: "Brother Chuan, quick, quick, persuade Princess Qing. Princess Qing is in a fit of anger, and Sister Yue will definitely suffer."

Song Hengchuan hesitated, standing there motionless.

"Brother Chuan!" Tao called out.

The other party still didn't move.

Princess Qing scoffed, "Break down the door for me!"

The people in the courtyard were a little panicked. Shen Ruyun stood under the eaves, looking anxious. Unfortunately, the Imperial Guards had also been taken away by the princess today.

There were only maids and servants in the courtyard; not a single one who could fight.

Song Huan stepped forward to block Song Yue: "Third sister, if things get out of hand, I'll hold them off while you run."

His serious expression made Song Yue smile.

With so many people outside, how could you possibly escape so easily?

"They're only after me. I have my mother protecting me, so I'll be fine. You don't need to get involved; just stay out of the way," Song Yue instructed.

Shen Ruyun frowned and remained silent.

boom!

There was a loud bang.

The guards outside were banging on the door.

One blow after another, the sound was deafening, making one's heart sink.

Princess Qing watched as the door teetered on the brink of collapse. She gripped her sword tightly, a bloodthirsty smirk playing on her lips.

"stop!"

An angry shout.

The guard suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Everyone turned around, and Princess Qing raised an eyebrow slightly after seeing who it was. Princess Jiahua was walking towards them.

Her face was ashen, and people instinctively made way for her wherever she went.

"Big sister-in-law, you're finally back!" Tao was so excited she almost cried.

Princess Jiahua's sharp gaze fell on the guard beside Tao Shi, and the guard unconsciously loosened his grip.

Tao said, "Princess Qing and Princess Zhennan rushed in and no one could stop them. They insisted that Yue'er had injured Princess Longqing and demanded an explanation."

Princess Jiahua nodded in a deep voice and continued walking forward until she reached Princess Qing's side. She raised her eyes and noticed the sword in Princess Qing's hand. A cold smile appeared on her lips: "What is the meaning of this?"

"Your daughter injured someone, all I want is justice!" Princess Qing was not afraid at all.

"Hurt someone?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ruyun asked someone to open the door. Standing beside her were Song Yue and Song Huan. Shen Ruyun said, "Mother, my third sister was whipped twice, on her shoulder and face. The doctor said her face, in particular, will be scarred."

Song Yue stood on the threshold with a pale face, looking at Princess Jia Hua with a pitiful expression. This glance immediately ignited Princess Jia Hua's anger.

She looked at Song Yue with a pained expression.

“Mother, it was Longqing who injured me first, so I fought back,” Song Yue sobbed softly.

Princess Jia Hua tenderly pulled the person into her arms and gently patted her trembling shoulder: "Don't be afraid."

"You're so young, yet you hurt someone and dare to lie. You're truly ill-mannered!" Princess Qing scolded, looking at Princess Jia Hua with disdain. "It really proves the saying, 'Like father, like son!'"

Upon hearing this, Song Yue's body twitched slightly, but Princess Jia Hua gently pressed her down. Princess Jia Hua raised her head, held her breath, and stared at Princess Qing with a gloomy gaze.

"Today I will take Song Yue away and make her kneel before Longqing to apologize!" Princess Qing said in a deep voice.

Princess Jia Hua's lips curled into a smile: "What if I don't release them?"

Princess Qing moved the sword in her hand, poised to strike at any moment. Princess Jiahua's smile deepened as she glanced around.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because someone is backing you up, Jia Hua! You are not worthy to bargain with me. For the sake of our past relationship, I can spare Song Yue's life. She must kneel down and kowtow to admit her mistake," Princess Qing said angrily.

Back then, Princess Qing and Princess Jiahua were mortal enemies. After Princess Qing married Prince Qing, she became even more arrogant and, having been used to a smooth life, she never took Princess Jiahua seriously.

"Jiahua, Yue'er..." As soon as the Grand Madam opened her mouth, Princess Jiahua cast a sharp glance at her, startling the Grand Madam into shutting up instantly.

Princess Jia Hua sneered: "As mothers, your daughter was injured, and so was my daughter. Yet you brought people to scare my daughter. Princess Qing, how dare you!"

"Guards!" Princess Jia Hua called out, and countless Imperial Guards appeared behind her, each exuding a murderous aura and ready to pounce at any moment.

Everyone was stunned.

They were clearly present at the scene, yet they had no idea when the Imperial Guards arrived.

Princess Jia Hua raised her chin: "Immediately send someone to Prince Qing and Prince Zhennan to ask them to come and pick up the person in person."

Upon hearing this, Princess Qing and Princess Zhennan immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Jiahua, what are you doing?" Princess Zhennan asked.
