Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Prince Longevity (4)

“Stupid girl, you still know to come back, huh? Where have you been wandering off to?”

As Chuzheng walked into the courtyard, she heard the girl’s voice, sarcastic and mocking.

Sitting by the stone table in the courtyard was a girl in a green dress, with Qing He standing behind her, haughty and overbearing.

The girl in the green dress was sneering coldly at her, undisguised disgust and contempt in her eyes.

Cheng Xiao.

One of the perpetrators who caused the original owner’s downfall, and the target Chuzheng needed to defeat.

A pretty girl.

Why be so cruel to the original owner? She never did anything to provoke her.

A beauty with the heart of a snake.

Lv Zhu saw these two people and her whole body tensed up, cold sweat pouring from her palms and back.

“Where did you wander off to?” Chuzheng asked expressionlessly in return.

“What did you say!” Cheng Xiao stood up, her jade hand slapping the table: “Stupid girl, say that again.”

You want me to say it just because you said so?

I won’t say it.

Cheng Xiao quickly walked towards her, her beautiful face filled with anger: “You’ve been having a comfortable time these past days, haven’t you?”

Cheng Xiao’s expression suddenly changed, her gaze fixed tightly on Chuzheng.

Chuzheng was wearing a blue dress, beautiful in color, exquisite in craftsmanship, and with embroidery that seemed to come to life. The design was even more novel.

She remembered this dress.

It was Embroidered Brocade Pavilion’s new model.

How could she be wearing it?

Cheng Xiao pointed at her: “Where did you get that dress from?”

The daughters of wealthy families in the Imperial Capital, if they could wear a dress from Jinxiu Fang, it was a matter of pride and boasting.

Because clothing from Jinxiu Fang was not only made of hard-to-find fabrics, but every piece of clothing was so beautiful.

“None of your business.”

The original owner did have clothes from Jinxiu Fang, but that was back when Prince Cheng was still around.

After Prince Cheng’s death, Cheng Xiao, in front of her, had those clothes cut to shreds, including some other nice dresses.

“How is it none of my business, you never had this dress, and it’s not what you wore when you went out, is it? What did you do out there? Why are you wearing a dress from Embroidered Brocade Pavilion? Who bought it for you?” Cheng Xiao’s questions came one after another.

The scene somewhat resembled a wife interrogating her husband.

Chuzheng stared at Cheng Xiao, contemplating how to take her down.

So annoying.

So noisy.

“I’m talking to you!”

“Why should I answer you?” You count for nothing! Might as well finish you off!

Cheng Xiao was so angry she laughed: “Okay, you’ve grown bold now, haven’t you? Not knowing what you’re up to outside, cavorting with whom to exchange for a set of clothes. Today, you even dared to hit Qing He; if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know who’s in charge in the Prince’s Mansion!”

As she spoke, Cheng Xiao swung a slap at her.

She deliberately bent her fingers, so that when the slap landed, her nails would definitely leave scars on Chuzheng’s face.

Chuzheng raised her foot and kicked Cheng Xiao in the stomach.

So, so vicious!

Frightening the life out of someone.

To think she wanted to harm my face, you beast!

Cheng Xiao staggered, her body shaking a few times, until she finally fell to the ground.

“Ah…” Cheng Xiao clutched her stomach: “It hurts…”

“Miss!” Qing He stepped forward to help Cheng Xiao up.

Lv Zhu stepped forward anxiously: “Miss.”

“Cheng Chuzheng!” Cheng Xiao’s voice changed pitch, shrill and piercing: “You dare to fight back? Very well, Cheng Chuzheng! Qing He, go and teach her a good lesson for me!”

Qing He: “…”

“Go on!”

Cheng Xiao pushed Qing He, the pain in her belly sending her anger soaring.

“`

This idiot, this slut!

“`

Princess Consort Cheng hurried to Chuzheng’s courtyard upon hearing the news.

Cheng Xiao and Qing He, along with several house servants, were all lying in the courtyard.

“My daughter!” Princess Consort Cheng paled as she rushed to Cheng Xiao’s side, “What happened, my daughter, don’t scare your mother, who did this?”

Cheng Xiao wasn’t much hurt, just kicked a few times by Chuzheng, but it was very painful…

“Mother.” When Cheng Xiao saw Princess Consort Cheng, it was as if she had seen her mainstay, and she began crying and complaining, “Mother, she hit me, it hurts so much, look how she beat me, mother, you must stand up for me…”.

“It’s all right, it’s all right, your mother will stand up for you.” Hearing Cheng Xiao’s voice, Princess Consort Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but then her anger flared up again.

Princess Consort Cheng helped Cheng Xiao up and turned her gaze to Chuzheng, who was sitting at the stone table, leisurely and calmly drinking tea.

The young girl had a plain yet graceful face, her fair little face showing not a trace of emotion, and her indifferent and serene eyes rested on the void.

A hairpin adorned her hair, highlighting the young girl’s elegance, and every move she made was filled with nobility.

This damned girl…

Princess Consort Cheng instantly noticed something off about Chuzheng.

Just a few days ago she was timid and didn’t even dare to make eye contact with her.

How has she become so bold today, even her temperament has changed.

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Princess Consort Cheng demanded with regal authority, “Why did you hit Xiaoxiao?”

Chuzheng glanced at the noblewoman before her a few times.

Princess Consort Cheng was only in her thirties, well-preserved, and with her clothing and makeup, she looked even younger.

Standing beside Cheng Xiao, they looked like sisters.

“Did I hit her?” Chuzheng put down her teacup, her fingertips on the edge of the table, her tone calm, “Did you see it?”

“This…” Princess Consort Cheng pointed at the house servants on the ground, “The evidence is right in front of us, and you still quibble!”

“They fell themselves, what does it have to do with me?” Chuzheng lied without batting an eyelid.

House servant: “…” Could they have thrown themselves down like this? What’s wrong with them?

Princess Consort Cheng did not expect that, faced with the facts, Chuzheng could still be so defiantly in denial.

“How are you speaking to me?” Princess Consort Cheng frowned, “Have you no respect for your elders? I’m your senior, stand up when you talk to me!”

Chuzheng was unmoved.

Lv Zhu was desperately anxious behind her.

What was the young miss doing?

Hitting Cheng Xiao and now confronting the Princess Consort head-on.

Did she no longer want to live in the Prince’s Mansion…

“A senior should act like a senior, should you be intervening in the grievances between the younger generation?” Chuzheng’s expression was indifferent, “Are you proving your daughter’s incompetence?”

Are you proving your daughter’s incompetence…

These few words successfully set Princess Consort Cheng off completely.

“You lowly girl!” Princess Consort Cheng pointed at Chuzheng and cursed, “You hit my Xiaoxiao, now you show no respect for your elders, how could the Prince have a daughter like you…”

Princess Consort Cheng’s curses grew more vicious.

And she eventually started cursing the original mother as well.

Chuzheng looked around, and amidst Princess Consort Cheng’s shouting, she went to the side of the courtyard and pulled out a wooden stick.

“What are you doing! What do you think you’re doing! Do you want to hit someone again, put that down!”

Princess Consort Cheng was startled by Chuzheng’s actions, opened her arms, and backed away with Cheng Xiao, who was equally frightened.

Chuzheng held the wooden stick, walking back unhurriedly.

Amidst the scolding of Princess Consort Cheng, she swung the wooden stick…

Princess Consort Cheng’s face drained of color as she screamed for someone to stop Chuzheng.

Chuzheng struck once with the stick.

The courtyard gradually fell silent.

Clang—

The young girl threw away the wooden stick in her hand and impassively stepped over the ‘corpse’ of Princess Consort Cheng.

She instructed a stunned Lv Zhu.

“Throw them out.”
