<h4>Chapter 618: Right Back at You</h4>


    Noble Consort Zheng, who was currently tearfully crying out Nanny Su’s name, abruptly turned around and threw herself at the old king. “My king! This wife doesn’t know what she did wrong to be disgraced like this by the crown prince consort.”


    When she finished speaking, she sobbed noiselessly. Her small face that was the size of a palm was as alluring and beautiful as raindrops pattering on banana leaves.


    Qiao Mu was expressionless and directly kicked Handsome Fairness Huang, who was trembling on the side, to the king. Her sure-footed kick caused the king, Gong Chang’an, and the royal guard to collectively twitch their mouths involuntarily.


    “Ah! My king! My king! Save me, my king!” Handsome Fairness Huang’s body was trembling all over, and she scrambled totch onto the old king’s leg.


    “What exactly happened!!” After seeing how miserably his two consorts were sobbing, the king nearly couldn’t stayposed.


    “Handsome Fairness Huang has already confessed just earlier.” Qiao Mu maintained her small stoic face and said without much of an expression, “It was Courtesan Zheng who sent around a dozen people to kidnap my mother and sister outside of Dongshun Gate! Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. It is only fitting for me to seek out this maniptor behind the scenes to resolve this incident. As the saying goes, ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!’ The king, surely fair and reasonable, certainly won’t stop me from avenging my mother and sister’s kidnapping, right.”


    The king red furiously at Noble Consort Zheng.


    However, Noble Consort Zheng hastily kneeled down and sobbed quietly. “My king, how could this wife do such a thing? This wife simply doesn’t know what the crown prince consort is talking about! Why would this wife kidnap her mother and sister? What kind of grievance or enmity is there between this wife and the Marchioness of Jiayuan for this wife to do this after the small banquet.”


    “So you mean, you’re not owning up?” Coldly curling up the corners of her lips, Qiao Mu’s gaze swept towards Handsome Fairness Huang, who was shaking uncontrobly.


    “This wife didn’t do anything at all! Even if you’re the high and mighty crown prince consort, you can’t coerce this wife to own up to something she didn’t do no matter what!” Noble Consort Zheng insisted emphatically that she didn’t do it, and she couldn’t help but snigger in her mind. <i>Little girl, you want to fight me? This time, I’ll have you know that there’s no effing use to just assert that something is the truth!</i>


    Can you take out evidence? What a joke!


    “Handsome Fairness, what did you say.” The king red angrily at Handsome Fairness with a dark face.


    While raising her cowering head, Handsome Fairness Huang met Noble Consort Zheng’s bone-chilling nce from the side, and her entire body jolted as she immediately regained her senses.


    She knew better than anyone else what kind of person Noble Consort Zheng was.


    If she dared to use her in front of the king, even if she pulled through today’s cmity, she would absolutely be unable to survive past tomorrow or the day after that. In addition, her entire family would definitely suffer too.


    Once she thought it through, she automatically bnced the scales in her heart. She then scrambled to the king and slightly raised the side of her face, showing her most beautiful angle to the king.


    Handsome Fairness Huang sobbed sorrowfully and cried in a delicate and feeble voice, “My king, this wife is innocent!”


    “This wife doesn’t know either why the crown prince consort ran to this wife’s ssics Reverence Chamber with a stranger in tow, demanding that this wife admit that it was Her Highness the Noble Consort who sent people to kidnap her mother and sister.”


    “It’s best if Handsome Fairness Huang contemtes carefully before speaking again.” The crown prince said coldly, his gaze seemingly looking at a corpse.


    Yet Handsome Fairness Huang’s body shook even more uncontrobly, and she wailed pitifully as she groveled before the king. “My king, this wife really didn’t do anything at all. This wife can swear to the heavens, if this wife did send people to kidnap Her Highness the Crown Prince Consort’s mother and sister, then let this wife be immted by heavenly fire and die miserably.”


    Qiao Mu gazed coldly at this woman. “There originally were no grievances nor enmity between us, but you just had to touch my family today. I undoubtedly will not take this lying down and let you off.”
