The mistress has no feelings, why do you provoke her?

Consort Chun led her entourage quickly to Prince Qi's residence.

Her arrival was so swift that Su Rongrong was somewhat surprised and hurriedly came out to greet her: "Auntie."

"I heard Qi'er is in your residence?" Consort Chun looked at Su Rongrong with a sharp gaze, her eyes full of disdain.

She always wears a white dress, looking like a female ghost.

Looking around the Prince's mansion, it was also deserted and quiet.

I don't know who started all those rumors outside, saying that Princess Qi is like a fairy who doesn't eat the food of mortals.

Are there fairies this tea-loving?

Su Rongrong smiled gently: "It is a blessing for our Prince's Mansion that the young prince likes the Qi Prince's Mansion. Is the Dowager Consort going to take the young prince back to the mansion? I am really reluctant to part with the young prince."

"Didn't you send someone to inform my Prince Chun's residence? If you really couldn't bear to part with her, would you have sent someone to inform me? You just want me to take Qi'er away, don't you?" The Dowager Consort Chun had made up her mind when she came.

She wouldn't let Su Rongrong lead her by the nose, and she didn't want to owe Su Rongrong a favor. Pshaw.

So when Consort Chun arrived, she acted like a complete jerk.

She wanted to strike first and give Su Rongrong no chance to refute her.

Su Rongrong's face turned green with anger upon hearing Consort Chun's words.

It's true what they say, good deeds don't always pay off. She kindly took in the young prince, but it turned out to be a mistake.

This mother and son are truly kindred spirits, equally detestable.

Although she was inwardly complaining, she put on a nonchalant and aloof demeanor: "The reason I passed on the message to my aunt was only to put her at ease. If she wrongs me because of this, then I am truly wronged."

“The young prince is in my residence, and I treat him to good food and drink. Not to mention that he smashed so many of my precious ornaments and injured the eldest prince. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the residence and ask him to see if what I’m saying is true.”

Su Rongrong spoke while crying.

Tears streamed down her face.

I thought this move would scare away Consort Chun, but I didn't expect that Consort Chun was no pushover either.

She clutched her chest, her finger trembling as she pointed at Su Rongrong: "You, Princess Consort Qi, I only grumbled a couple of times, and you're already acting all high and mighty. What do you mean by crying like this? Are you saying that I, this old woman, have bullied you?"

"I traveled all the way back to the capital, a widow and her child, and this is how you treat me?"

"Your Majesty, I am going to the palace to seek your judgment."

Consort Chun burst into tears, her sobs far exceeding those of Su Rongrong.

She slapped her thigh while berating Su Rongrong for her actions, leaving Su Rongrong completely terrified.

How could she dare let Consort Chun go to the Empress Dowager? She hurriedly stopped her and pleaded, "Aunt, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean it that way. Please forgive me, it's all Rongrong's fault. Rongrong apologizes to Aunt."

Seeing how frightened she was, Consort Chun snorted coldly: "You're smart enough to know your place. If this gets to the Empress Dowager's ears, she'll definitely accuse you of disrespecting your elders."

Her smug look made Su Rongrong so angry she almost broke her own fingernails.

She could only apologize cautiously: "It's all Rongrong's fault, Auntie, please calm down."

"Where is my son?" Consort Chun asked impatiently, searching for Xiao Qi's figure.

Just then, the steward rushed over in a panic: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The young master is going to jump into the well!"

"Ah?" Su Rongrong and Consort Chun both exclaimed in surprise. Consort Chun was the first to react: "Quick, take me there quickly."

Seeing the housekeeper still standing there in a daze, Su Rongrong scolded, "You idiot, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take us there."

The steward then realized what was happening and led Su Rongrong and Consort Chun to the backyard.

Before the well, Xiao Qi stood surrounded by a circle of maids and servants, pleading, "Young Master, please come down! Don't frighten us anymore! Please, please!"

"Get out of my way, all of you. If you take another step closer, I'll jump."

Seeing this, the maids and servants dared not approach any further; they were all both anxious and frightened.

If Xiao Qi were to get into trouble at the Prince Qi's residence, none of them would be spared.

The maids and servants all knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

When Consort Chun saw this scene, she was so frightened that she almost fainted: "My son, my son..."

She nearly collapsed from lack of breath, but Su Rongrong and the old woman beside her quickly supported her, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness."

After calming down, Consort Chun cried to Xiao Qi, "My son, please don't frighten your mother."

When Xiao Qi saw Consort Chun arrive, there was no joy on his face: "Mother, I will not go back with you. All you do is force me to study hard every day. I have no happiness or freedom at all."

"No, no, your mother will never force you again." Consort Chun hurriedly waved her hand, her face turning pale with fright: "Come here quickly, come to your mother."

He is the only son of the Prince Chun's family. If anything were to happen to him, the Prince Chun's family would be wiped out.

Xiao Qi asked with some doubt, "Mother, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. Your mother will never force you again. Your sister-in-law is here to testify, isn't that right, Princess Qi?" After giving Su Rongrong a wink, the latter quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, Your Highness is right."

Xiao Qi's expression softened somewhat: "If that's the case, I'll trust Mother Consort this once."

Seeing that he was no longer causing trouble, Consort Chun hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him in her arms: "My little darling, are you trying to scare your mother to death? Is it really necessary for you to run away from home and cause such a commotion just because of studying?"

"If the Empress Dowager knew, I don't know how heartbroken she would be."

Xiao Qi pouted, somewhat unconvinced, and said, "I don't like studying, but my mother insists on forcing me to. If this continues, I'll be exhausted to death without having to kill myself."

Hearing his childish words, Consort Chun laughed: "Don't talk nonsense again. How can reading a book kill you?"

Xiao Qi looked at Consort Chun in surprise: "Mother, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

"How could that be? Your mother won't pressure you anymore. Let's go back to the manor." Consort Chun took Xiao Qi's hand and walked out. Su Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully said, "See the Consort and His Highness off."

Consort Chun ignored her and took Xiao Qi back to her residence.

After the two left, Su Rongrong was so exhausted that she almost collapsed to the ground.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's favoritism towards Prince Chun's residence, how could she, the dignified First Prince's Consort, have been bullied like this?

Su Rongrong grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she took it out on the servants: "A bunch of useless good-for-nothings! They can't even keep an eye on a child. Each of them will be fined half a month's salary."

The servants were all very unhappy when they heard this.

That's the young prince, who dares to mess with him?

Besides, even the Princess Consort couldn't do anything about Consort Chun and the young prince, could she?

What kind of skill is it to take your anger out on them?
