Xu Mingzhu’s mouth instantly dropped open into an “O.” Before she could even scream, she plunged headfirst down the staircase again and tumbled down even more fiercely and battered than before.

Everyone was stupefied, simply at a loss of words!

Queen Zhao subconsciously shifted her head to the side as she watched how that Xu Mingzhu tumbled down and crashed smack dab into the wheel of the same carriage as before for a full stop.

This tumble completely dumbfounded Xu Mingzhu, and she only heard that useless Fourth Sister Xu Mingxin screeching by her ear.

Some sticky substance seemed to be trickling from her ear, and Xu Mingzhu only felt like a huge mallet had given her head a round of pulverizing. Her mind was turning heavy, and she could not hear clearly at all.

She fainted, scaring Xu Mingxin who was beside her into almost doing the same.

This kick of the crown prince consort was too fierce. It had directly knocked the other person out!

Qiao Mu floated down the staircase while maintaining a calm and unruffled composure. She then patted her petite hands as she explained, “Did you all see that? Just as you have witnessed, this time it was indeed me who kicked her.”

Duan Yue covered his face with his fan.

On the side, Situ Yi twitched his mouth as he rolled his eyes at Duan Yue: Don’t think that no one can see you laughing in secret just because you covered your face with your fan!

Everyone: “…”

Xiao Mi couldn’t resist guffawing, and she ran up to hook Qiao Mu’s shoulder, remarking, “Younger Sis, I just like this temper of yours. We are truly alike. If we did something, then we did it. But if we didn’t do something, then we didn’t do it! Since someone says that we kicked her down the stairs, then we might as well turn this reputation of “kicking people” into the truth, hahahahaha!”

Everyone looked at Princess Mi speechlessly.

Could you stop laughing, you dunce?

Meanwhile, Queen Zhao took a deep breath and secretly admonished herself: Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. This was her daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law that her son had set his mind on. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, don’t be angry! Ah… She was very angry! They just had to create such a scene when they freaking hadn’t even set out yet!!

Did she still not want her pride!

Consort Cheng gazed at Queen Zhao with sympathy before going forward to help support the latter as a courtesy. “Cough, Young Miss, in my view, it would be best to send this third young lady from the Marquis of Placation’s Estate home to recuperate. That fourth young lady can accompany the third young lady back.”

Otherwise what could they do? She had already gotten knocked out, and it wasn’t like they could bring her along either!

Queen Zhao grumpily gave Qiao Mu a glare before having Nanny Qing help her into the carriage. She then ordered for the two young ladies of the Marquis of Placation’s Estate to be sent back.

“Your Majesty, drink some tea to calm down.” Nanny Qing quickly handed her a cup of tea.

Queen Zhao set the cup down heavily onto the small table: So angry!

During the whole journey, Consort Cheng and the rest felt a bit ill at ease.

In reality, Consort Cheng simply didn’t want to come today!

Don’t ask her why.

Ever since the praying ceremony at the Great Sea Monastery’s Pacification Pagoda, Consort Cheng had vowed to never partake in the same activity as the young crown prince consort again in this lifetime!

Partaking in the some activity as the young crown prince consort was simply torture!

Yet it couldn’t be helped that Her Majesty the Queen had personally sent out the invitation this time. Fortunately, the person leading the party was Her Majesty the Queen, so something like what happened at the Pacification Pagoda last time wouldn’t be happening again, right.

That time, the young crown prince consort had truly tormented their old bones quite terribly!

Every time she recalled that incident, Consort Cheng couldn’t resist shuddering.

“Aiyah, look quickly. That must be Jun Mountain’s Yating Court up front! Tut tut, the scenery is pleasing and truly beautiful when looking from afar,” Xiao Mi exclaimed loudly.
