576: The Moon Emperor’s Forgiveness

“You are. It turns out stinky, superficial relatives look like this.” Feng Wu nodded seriously.

“Irreverent girl! Liuli, are you going to just stand there and let this girl be rude to your own mother?!” Old Madam Cuiya wished she could rush over and slap Feng Wu in the face. But her son-in-law, the emperor, was in the room, and she didn’t dare provoke him.

In front of the emperor, she could be a little rude, but she didn’t dare be too presumptuous. It was precisely because Old Madam Cuiya didn’t go overboard that the emperor gave his wife face and tolerated the old lady.

The Moon empress laughed awkwardly and then said, “Mother, Xiao Wu is still young. You should not let a child bother you.” It was rare to see someone who could make her mother so angry. Going to Feng Wu’s side to fight her mother, it was refreshing!

“This girl is beyond rude. You won’t let her go? Just look at her. She hasn’t already started yet and she dares treat me and your sister like this. I am Ming Xi’s grandmother but she is just a wild, unruly, uneducated girl with no manners. She is simply too much! Relying on her conniving and scheming to behave shamelessly!”

Old Madam Cuiya’s face was distorted in anger as she yelled loudly at the empress.

No, it was obviously you who is shameless and relying on connivance.

Both the emperor and empress had the same thought at the same time.

High priest: Hahaha. . .

“It’s rare for Xiao Wu to come as a guest, so Mother should not bother her.” The empress didn’t even talk about driving Feng Wu away.

“You. . . you girl, you are amazing. You dare not give me face as your mother anymore, do you? Okay, I’ll teach her lesson in your place then!”

Old Madam Cuiya was so angry that she forgot herself. She reaching into her dimension ring and pulled out a sword, aiming it directly at Feng Wu. Clearly her intent was murder.

“Hump!” The emperor snorted softly. Old Madam Cuiya felt an invisible pressure pressing in on her on all sides.

With a bang, she dropped her sword and nearly fell to the floor herself. She looked really weak with the color drained from her face.

Once the sword fell to the floor, the pressure eased, then fully disappeared. Cold sweat broke out on her head. Her mind, which had muddled from anger, cleared up. She actually dared draw a sword in front of the Moon emperor. How could she have made such a mistake?!

She knew the emperor wasn’t an undisciplined, unprincipled monarch who could be led by the nose by a woman. If he was, she would have controlled the entire Ancient Silver Moon kingdom ages ago through her daughter as proxy.

Since that failed, she had been grooming Hua Jin to be the next Moon empress. This way the Hua and Sheng family would get even more benefits and privileges.

“Mother!” Madam Hua was so frightened she hurried forward to support her mother to keep her from slipping to the ground.

“Bold, to dare draw a weapon in front of His Royal Highness, Old Madam Cuiya has committed the crime of irreverence!” The high priest had waited so long to deal with Old Madam Cuiya and now here was a rare opportunity. He didn’t let it slip by and immediately pounced, declaring her crime clearly and quickly with a selfless face.

When Old Madam Cuiya heard this, her legs, which were already jelly, went limp. Madam Hua was shocked to the core. Their ambitions were high, but unfortunately their intelligence had not caught up. They were both scared.

Madam Hua fell to her knees and nervously spoke while subtly winking at the empress. “Your Highness, forgive my mother. She was confused and did not mean it.” She wanted her sister would speak up on their behalf.

The Moon empress turned her head away and pretended not to notice. Her mother and elder sister had become too outrageous recently. This was a good opportunity to teach them a little lesson and reign them in. It was better for her not to interfere on their behalf.

Madam Hua became even more anxious when she saw the empress ignoring them. She secretly scolded her little sister for being a white-eyed wolf with a black heart, but she didn’t dare show dissatisfaction on her face.

“Forget it. From this emperor’s perspective, I do not care about the matter. Old Madam Cuiya seems to be unwell. Madam Hua should help her return home to rest. During that time, neither of you should enter the palace. Old Madam Cuiya should take good care of her body.”

The emperor waved his hand and spoke generously.

Old Madam Cuiya was dissatisfied but she didn’t dare say anything more, so she let her eldest daughter lead her out.

The two left the palace and boarded their carriage and rushed to the Sheng estate. Inside the carriage, Madam Hua was cursing her sister out while wiping the sweat from her mother’s brow.

“Liuli, that white-eyed wolf, she doesn’t want to think about how mother raised her anymore. How can she do this to us today? She didn’t say a word to support us at all. It’s chilling. . . ” Madam Hua was really unhappy with her sister’s attitude and behavior.

How was it possible her sister become the empress of the Moon kingdom, while she was only the wife of the Hua family head? On top of that, she had to curtsy when she saw her little sister. How stifling! But it wasn’t like she could beat her sister up. All she could do now was curse in her heart.

Hearing her daughter’s words made Old Madam Cuiya uncomfortable. “Do you think your sister has changed? She never contradicted either of us before. But today, she not only contradicted me, she also looked away as the emperor humiliated me.”

Old Madam Cuiya thought of her youngest daughter’s unfeelingness, hating her for not living up to expectations. If this had happened before Sheng Liuli got married, Old Madam Cuiya would have broken her legs. But now that her youngest daughter was married, even if she wanted to do something to her, it was impossible. Punish the empress of the empire? Old Madam Cuiya didn’t have the audacity.

“She has already become the Moon empress; how can she still be the same? Since little sister became empress, she stopped listening to us. She isn’t even willing to help Xiao Jin with Ming Xi’s marriage. It seems that she dislikes us and doesn’t want to pay attention to us anymore.”

Madam Hua had harbored suspicions about her little sister since she rose above her and became empress. Her little sister forgot where she came from after climbing high. Madam Hua wanted Hua Jin to marry Ming Xi, which would be good for the entire family. With the Sheng and Hua family’s support, wouldn’t it be easier for Ming Xi to carry the burdens of that position in the future. Why wouldn’t her little sister help?!

After thinking about it, Madam Hua came to the conclusion that it wasn’t because her sister didn’t want Hua Jin to be the next Moon empress, it was because her sister didn’t want her to Ming Xi’s mother-in-law.
