Real Empress from a Noble Family Real Empress from a Noble Family Chapter 91

Chapter 91 You Can Scream, But No One Will Ever Come to Help You!

Mrs. Gu said angrily, “You are my future daughter-in-law. Why would I frame you? Do you think I'm okay about my son being despised because of you?”

“Ridiculous!” Tang also shouted coldly. “You did such a shameless thing. Not only Prince's Mansion of Xihe is in trouble, but cousin Deng Yi loses his face, and now you blame us? Do you have any sense of shame?”

Qiu Yelan wouldn't give in. She sneered and said, “Shame? Last time, Gu Yan, Young Prince of Duke of Guangyang, flirted with me openly in the palace. If General Jiang hadn't passed by and help me, I would have killed myself by bumping my head on the pillar in Liuchun Pavilion! How could you take your anger out on me because you can't control your husband?”

“You!” Tang was outraged. Mrs. Gu was silent for a moment and then screamed, “You are talking nonsense!”

Qiu Yelan looked at her with disdain, “You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not! I can swear on my parents' spirits that Gu Yan did flirt with me publicly. Can you also swear on Deng Yi's safety that you don't know Gu Yan has designs on me?”

As she said it, she put her hand on her own face and glanced at Tang, “I know why Young Princess came with Mrs. Gu here and tried hard to convict me! It's because you know Gu Yan once flirted with me and now you see I'm much prettier and younger than you, so you get jealous….”

Anyway, she never wanted to marry Deng Yi and had a political stance against the Gu Family. The two here obviously came for a fight. It was impossible now to cancel the engagement peacefully. In this case, Qiu Yelan decided to take off the mask and taunt them with full force to irritate them.

“That's enough!” Tang couldn't hear anymore. She stood up as she slapped the table and said to Princess Yang who hadn't got a chance to speak, “We, Gu Family, won't recognize her as the wife of cousin Deng Yi! But his fame shouldn't be ruined like this…. Princess Yang! You are a clever woman and you should know what to do so that your children won't get into trouble because of her!”

Qiu Yelan's face became grave—Tang was suggesting Princess Yang should kill her and tell others that she dropped dead. Then the Deng Family would not investigate it and this incidence would be let go!

Seeing Princess Yang was happy after being stunned for a moment and all the three noblewomen were looking at her with evil eyes, Qiu Yelan smiled coldly. Suddenly she stood up and on tiptoe to look outside, saying, “It seems that no one is outside.”

By now, Tang and Mrs. Gu were on their feet. Both of them ignored her and said goodbye coldly to Princess Yang, who was repressing her ecstasy. They wanted to go back and wait for the good news.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yelan lifted the edge of her dress, rushed to Tang, and pulled open her clothes quickly!

It was April and warm. Although Tang was a visiting guest, she only wore underwear behind her robe. Hit by this sudden move, her shoulders were exposed. When she was a young lady, she was the beloved daughter of Premier; after she got married, she was Young Princess. When had she ever been attacked like this? So at once, she covered her chest tightly and screamed so loud that the room seemed to be shaking!

“Keep screaming and the gatekeeper will come and see you!” Qiu Yelan slapped her without hesitation and Tang staggered. Luckily, she didn't fall to the ground as she held the Zitan Wood table behind her!

At this point, Princess Yang wanted to die right now!

“Are you crazy?” Princess Yang felt dizzy but she didn't dare to faint. Young Princess of Duke of Guangyang came with Mrs. Gu to Prince's Mansion of Xihe to criticize Qiu Yelan but instead was undressed and slapped by Qiu Yelan in front of her. If she couldn't give her a good answer at once, the Gu Family would ask Prince's Mansion of Xihe for an answer!

Princess Yang was about to call her maids to protect Tang, but Qiu Yelan took off the Pure Gold Phoenix-head Hairpin on Tang's head smilingly and scratched her face with it indifferently and a red scar appeared. Though it was a shallow one, it hurt as well. She said, “Who dares to come?”

No need for Princess Yang's order to stop, none of the servants dared to come closer!

In comparison, Tang was brave and commanded with a deep voice, “You all come and take her! I will let you go to hell even if my face is ruined!”

In return, she got another heavy slap!

With a tearing sound, Tang felt her body was lighter and cooler. Looking down, she found her begonia red lotus-patterned loose sleeve silk robe was torn apart from top to bottom and fell down to the carpet!

“I will kill you!” Tang dived to Qiu Yelan like a madwoman!

Qiu Yelan gave her a casual punch and she fell to the table. She looked up and smiled at Princess Yang, who was thinking hurriedly how to save Tang and was frightened by her smile!

Qiu Yelan suddenly changed her expression into a happy one and said sweetly, “Thanks to auntie's driving off the servants so that no one can hear this bad woman's screaming. She's totally at our mercy.”

Her words almost killed Princess Yang, who hurried to defend herself, “It's not like that! Young Princess, Mrs. Gu, see, I never… No, the reason why I drove away the servants was not….” Princess Yang was incoherent: it was she who had driven the servants away, but how could she do this to harm them?

She did this in case she failed to appease Mrs. Gu and Tang and got Qiu Jinzhu and Qiu Yinzhi into trouble because some gossipy servants might say to others that Qiu Yelan's fame was suspected by her future husband's family.

“Now that we had a fight, why should you be humble in front of them?” Qiu Yelan wouldn't give her a chance to explain and said immediately. “Mrs. Gu is only a Graceful Lady and she is respected only because her surname is Gu. Tang is a Young Princess, but she is still not a real Princess! How could they come and speak dominantly in front of you?”

She rubbed her fists and scanned Tang's bareback, “As we have agreed, let's rip her clothes off and see if there is a birthmark. If she doesn't listen to us later, we will let all the hooligans in the capital know and spread the feature of Young Princess of Duke of Guangyang!”

Right after she finished her words, Tang, who was originally taking deep breaths as a result of anger, screamed and looked viciously at Princess Yang. Then she bumped her head on the sharp corner of the padauk table with determination!

However, Qiu Yelan pulled lightly and she was pulled back to the ground. She said leisurely, “Why are you in such a hurry to kill yourself? Hear me out. If you died now, I would find some men to claim themselves as your paramours and tell others that you died of shame because your affairs were known…. I think as long as we say Mrs. Gu had been killed by you before you died, no one outside would believe it was we who killed you!”

Mrs. Gu was frightened and automatically backed off….

Qiu Yelan didn't stop her but said coldly, “Mrs. Gu, watch yourself. I'm not good at using a hidden weapon. If you keep backing, I may get a slippery hand and turn a threat into a reality that one of your eyes is removed. That's not worth it, isn't it?”

Mrs. Gu stopped moving as if she got roots under her feet. She looked at her with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to speak but stopped.

As Qiu Yelan scared her, she continued to taunt Tang, “I can see that you have the nerve, but since you have a son, you will in the end lose your nerve. I heard he is your only child. How old is he? Eleven? He doesn't even have an engagement! You know better than me what kind of man Gu Yan is. People say he respects you. But if he did, why did he flirt with me, your future cousin-in-law? By his position, there should be many women who badly want to replace you! At that time, your son will be a real nuisance!”

She sneered, “How worthy it will be to exchange my life for you and your son's bad ending?”

That was exactly Tang's soft underbelly. She shivered for a long time on the ground and then asked through gritted teeth, “What do you want?”

“That's easy. If you don't get in my way, I will leave you alive, which also means your son can live well!” Qiu Yelan squatted down and patted her face with the hairpin. She said with a half-smile, “Don't wear that wronged look! We were not enemies and I wouldn't go against you. But today you wanted to kill me. This is what you deserve and there is no way you should be resentful!”

Tang gave a bitter smile, “Don't you admit the shameless thing you did?”

Qiu Yelan slapped her right away again. The loud sound made Princess Yang and Mrs. Gu frightened. She said, “If you were fair, why didn't you say anything when Gu Yan was bullying men and abusing women? You came to me only because you thought I was weak! You are the one who helped the villain do evil and pretended to be moral! If I were Princess Yongfu, would you dare to kill me?”

Tang lifted her face which was full of bruises and she was about to say something when Xiuyan coughed outside in the yard. She came to the window and reported, “Your Grace, Chunfu Princess is coming!”

“What?” There was a mess in the room. Hearing the news, Tang, Mrs. Gu, and Princess Yang all felt at loss. Qiu Yelan had already got control of them, now Chunfu Princess was coming. They knew this princess would not miss the chance to attack Empress Dowager's party, even if she did not come to help Qiu Yelan!

At this moment, Mrs. Gu wanted to drop dead. Qiu Yelan was calm. She turned around and ordered, “Tell Chunfu Princess to have some tea in the flower hall and my aunt will soon come.”

Then she smiled sweetly at Princess Yang, “I told you that you didn't need to worry. See, Chunfu Princess comes in person!”

Princess Yang grasped her chest and pointed at her with a shaking finger, wanting badly to show she was innocent. Qiu Yelan implied that Prince's Mansion of Xihe turned to support Empress!
