Mu Xi Yao frowned. Pointing at her and asking her questions at this time, wasn't it the same as informing everyone that all of her criticism and dissatisfaction was directed at her, who was the concubine?

Therefore, was she the "one disregarding precedence and filial piety" and "lowly servant who deceives her mistress" from the old dowager's mouth?

For the first time, Mu Xi Yao's expression darkened upon seeing old dowager of Rong House's pompous demeanor and eyes that were filled with cold light as she waited for her reply.

Could she not bear to see her showing kindness to other people? Did this old woman think she was one of those women in Rong House whom she could deal with however she pleased?

She then took a look at the party of women from Duke of Rong House behind her. The women flinched in embarrassment and all unifiedly stepped to the side. They didn't even dare to meet Mu Xi Yao's eyes. Mu Xi Yao was suddenly amused. It seems that being a tigress wasn't enough for her and she intended to run out from her mountain top to expand her territory?

"Does cefei has nothing to say? In that case, you must be admitting that what this old one has said is justified. Cefei need not sit down. Your mistress just happens to lack a person to serve her. You can come and attend to her with fanning and beverages."

The old dowager spoke harshly with a stern face. She was bent on using Mu Xi Yao to raise her prestige today.

Since a long time ago, she couldn't bear to see a concubine bullying her mistress. This Mu'shi was particularly eye-catching. This kind of behavior mustn't go on. Henceforth, she has used this opportunity to oppress her. She would like to see who in Shengjing would dare to jump out and talk on her behalf.

The womenfolk of Duke of Rong House were so scared they broke into a tremor. They have all silently lowered their heads.

The present female guests were stupified. Publicly chiding an imperial prince's cefei? Although she was standing up for the principal wife, they've never seen anyone meddling with someone else's inner yard so frankly.

He Lian Min Min pretended to decline the old dowager's good intentions. That aggrieved appearance of hers only aggravated the old dowager's anger. She was so enraged she kept on slapping the table, furious for her peaceful nature.

"It's because you're too good-hearted that this kind of seductress is being indulged and dares to act impudently in front of you!"

As soon as Zhao momo saw mistress's expression, she immediately knew that this matter won't be settled so easily today. Her mistress's temper went by a creed "if one respected you one foot, I'll respect one ten foot". Contrariwise, she will pay the other one back double fold. Right now, the old dowager was full of vigor but after she gets fixed by mistress in a moment, would she be carried out in a horizontal position?

"Is old dowager's mind muddled by the anger?"

Mu Xi Yao used her two fingers to pick up the tea cover and leisurely swept aside the floating tea leaves. She did not stand up. As for serving He Lian Min Min, she acted like she didn't hear it.

Abiding a pregnant woman with rules and have her servicing? It was too malicious.

The old dowager of Duke of Rong House has bullied people for decades. Since the old duke passed away, she could finally lift her head high. She put the birth mother of the current duke the grand consort out to the point she left her courtyard and avoided the old dowager like a plague. As a result, when has someone ever talked back to her, not even giving her a proper reply?
