Chapter 1406: Chapter 1344: Killing with a Borrowed Knife
Wu Yining left Prince Weiâs Manor, got into her own carriage, and immediately asked her chief maid, Jin Shu, to take out the ointment to apply to her face.
"Ow, you little wretch, be gentle!" Wu Yining winced in pain, avoiding Jin Shuâs hand.
Jin Shu quickly apologized, then said, "Miss should have applied the ointment earlier; that vile womanâs actions were too ruthless, it would be terrible if it ruins your looks."
Wu Yining replied, "What do you know? If I donât bear this face, how will Princess Ping Xi remember that vile womanâs malice?" But she was also afraid her face would truly be ruined, so she took out a delicate carved target mirror from the small drawer in the carriage, and upon seeing the red marks on her face, her face swollen quite a bit, she became furious.
"Iâll have to ask Mother for Jade Face Cream to apply. That damned little wretch, how viciously she strikes. If I donât avenge this, Iâm not Wu Yining!" Wu Yining threw the target mirror into a corner, angrily declared, "When she falls into my hands, Iâll make sure she canât live nor die!"
Jin Shu chimed in, "Miss, sheâs not easy to deal with, the mammy by the Commandery Princess just tossed her maid out without a second thought!"
Wu Yiningâs expression changed, and she glared at her, "Do I need you to remind me? Iâm not going to stumble into trouble on my own!"
"So, Miss, what did you say to the Commandery Princess?"
Wu Yining hummed proudly, "No matter how capable she is, no matter how many people protect her, can she be stronger than the Commandery Princess? The Commandery Princess is Prince Weiâs Manorâs sole legitimate princess, noble and dignified, what does she have? Without Silver Coin, letâs see how arrogant she becomes. Perhaps by then, we can even avenge younger brother Yu."
At Princess Ping Xiâs place, she exaggerated Wufuâs bad deeds and malice, and Princess Ping Xi is proud, how could she tolerate Wufu being even more arrogant than her? She will definitely bite down on Wufu!
With Princess Ping Xi glaring, Wufu certainly wonât have a good outcome!
"Borrowing a knife to kill, Miss is wise!" Jin Shu flattered, "But, she also has Princess Changping to rely on, might Princess Changping interfere?"
Wu Yiningâs face lost its smugness; Princess Changping had repeatedly embarrassed her because of Wufu, so she deeply hated Changping.
"Princess Changpingâs father is nothing but a Commandery Prince, but Prince Wei is a Prince of a Different Surname, whoâs more powerful?" Wu Yining sneered, "Besides, I donât believe Princess Changping will really make things too awkward with Princess Ping Xi for that little wretch. Their mothers are on good terms!"
Jin Shu felt skeptical in her heart, seeing that Changping was unwilling to befriend or play with Princess Ping Xi, she didnât think Changping would align with Princess Ping Xi much, but she dared not express such sentiments to her mistress, for fear of bearing a grudge.
"This maid thinks Princess Changping was bewitched by that vile woman, failing to see her venomous nature, fortunately, Princess Ping Xi is not the same, she has a good eye, and thatâs why she gets along well with Miss." Jin Shu smiled, "If Princess Ping Xi says a few kind words about Miss in front of Princess Consort Wei and Crown Prince Wei, perhaps even Princess Consort Wei will see Miss differently!"
Wu Yiningâs cheeks flushed as she thought of the energetic and handsome Crown Prince Wei, her heart thumped vigorously, he was so handsome and so noble, if he took a liking to her, if she became the Crown Princess, who would dare to look down on her?
"Donât talk nonsense, Crown Prince Wei has high standards!" Wu Yining scolded.
Jin Shu giggled, "Thatâs why he notices our Miss, this maid thinks he smiles especially warmly at Miss, unlike with others."
Wu Yining, hearing this, her cheeks turned even more rosy, but her expression was one of satisfaction.
