Chapter 60: I’m genuinely trying to help you out part 1
Once they heard Mu Zi Ling’s command, they obediently stopped.
“What do you want?” asked Mu Yi Xue coldly to Mu Zi Ling as she turned around.
She had no reason to fear Mu Zi Ling as of now. As long as the An Ya Princess woke up and told the Empress Dowager that Mu ZI Ling was the one who made her to faint, Mu Zi Ling would not be able to act so arrogantly anymore.
“I don’t want to do anything,” replied Mu Zi Ling, taking a different route. Mu Yi Xue confidence did not sway her in the slightest.
Calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, she slowly picked up her tea and took a sip. Her good mood had not been diminished.
“Hmph. Lets go,” commanded Mu Yi Xue bossily, she turned to the two maids, and they all continued walking out.
However...
“Stop!” drawled Mu Zi Ling lazily
And so once again, the three people who were about to leave, and the one person who was “unconscious”, obediently stopped again.
“What do you want?!” demanded Mu Yi Xue as she angrily turned around.
Her patience was about to disappear. She hated sloppy people like Mu Zi Ling, who used their connections and power against others.
“I still don"t want to anything,” taunted Mu Zi Ling, a smile teasing her lips.
She laughed so naturally that to anyone bystanding, it looked like she was teasing Mu Yi Xue and the others.
“You….”
When Mu Yi Xue saw Mu Zi Ling’s haughty look, she couldn’t even control her breathing. Mu Zi Ling was laughing so happily! How could she act so freely when death was so near at hand?
Long Xiao Ze, uncle Fu, and Xie all wanted to laugh while watching Mu ZI Ling laughing and taunting Mu Yi Xue, but they were to afraid to do so, so they could only hold back their laughter.
At the same time, uncle Fu and Xie were really worried that Mu Yi Xue would bring the An Ya Princess to the Empress Dowager. However, Long Xiao Ze knew that another show was about to take place. He was dying to know how his third sister in law would play them.
“What do you mean what does this princess want. Of course this princess was only trying to help you guys out,” said Mu Zi Ling innocently with a kind smile.
“Hmph. You? Trying to help us? I think you’ve got the situation flipped. You are only worried that the An Ya Princess will tell the Empress Dowager everything once she wakes up. You are worried that the Empress Dowager will pin a crime to your head, so you’re begging us now to stop,” retorted Mu Yi Xue arrogantly.
“Oh~ So it turns out that you already know that this Princess was feeling scared? Yep, I’m absolutely terrified!” agreed Mu Zi Ling, purposefully elongating parts of her words and emphasizing her terror.
So Mu Yi Xue wasn’t a complete idiot after all. Her brain had started functioning now has it? She finally realized that the An Ya Princess was the key figure. If she woke up, whatever she said in front of the Empress Dowager would be what the Empress Dowager believed, no matter how outrageous. In the end, Mu Zi Ling would end up in calamity.
However, even if Mu Yi Xue had a little bit of brain, she was nothing interesting to toy with.
After hearing Mu Zi Ling, Mu Yi Xue felt even more proud of herself. She raised her chin, looking like a criminal feeling proud.
Hmph. So now Mu Zi Ling knows to be scared and beg to me?
Mu Yi Xue was itching for Mu Zi Ling to hurry up and start begging her. She really wanted to watch Mu Zi Ling kneel down and beg for her forgiveness. Then, she could return the two slaps that Mu Zi Ling had given her. However, once Mu Zi Ling had finished begging, she would still tell the Empress Dowager what happened.
Mu Yi Xue happily started to daydream. She waited for Mu Zi Ling to open her mouth and start begging, but Mu Zi Ling’s next words would topple all her fantasies.
“But… this Princess wasn’t afraid that you guys would tell the Empress Dowager on me. This Princess was afraid that the An Ya Princess would die before she got to the Royal Palace. If that was the case, then you guys would have no proof that I did it. You guys were the one who brought An Ya Princess out here. If something happened, you guys would be…” trailed Mu Zi Ling pausing at the end. Her tone even gave off a gloomy feeling.
She had thick skin, a few mosquitos trying to sting her wasn’t something she couldn’t deal with. She didn’t exactly have a line to cross when it came to what she said. Mu Yi Xue and the few other side characters were just sitting there ready for her to scare.
In the end, Mu Yi Xue would be the happiest one of all if something happened to the An Ya Princess in the Qi King’s Manor. She had even thought to fake an accident herself to see how Mu Zi Ling would deal with the situation.
But Mu Zi Ling had her own strategies and powerful people on her side. Mu Yi Xue was nothing compared against her.
Mu Zi Ling’s begging tone slid past her. Instead, she heard how Mu Zi Ling’s words were against her, and boiled up with fury, “You… You… Stop lying! The An Ya Princess has only fainted, how could she die?!”
Mu Zi Ling couldn’t even save herself, yet she was still speaking nonsense. To think she would have the nerve to ever suggest the An Ya Princess’ death. The An Ya Princess had only fainted, why on earth would she suddenly die?
Mu Zi Ling glanced at the maid who gently supported the An Ya Princess. She smiled softly. Little girl, your patience is quite exceptional. Even now, you have not moved. In that the case, let"s continue playing.
Mu Zi Ling carelessly waved her hand and sighed helplessly, “Since you don’t believe me, then you can leave. The Royal Palace is very far away from here, you better be careful with the An Ya Princess. When the time comes, you had better not blame me for not warning you. Your heads might be in a different location before you can even see the Empress Dowager.
Hearing Mu Zi Ling’s regretful speech, the two maids had already been scared. However, Mu Yi Xue was still doubtful about Mu Zi Ling’s words and scoffed, “Don"t listen to her nonsense, let"s go.”
