Chapter 351: Why wouldn’t she take revenge? (2/2)

In the past, Mu Liuyue used to always accompany Princess Changping and bully others. Zhao mama had ran into the girl a few times and disliked her immensely. Now that she was going to marry the crown prince, Zhao mama’s impression of her had worsened. However, Han Yunxi’s impression of the girl had always been worse!

Leaving aside all the insults and schemes that Mu Liuyue had tried against her, there was the fact that this damned girl’s vanity had pushed Mu Qingwu to surrender to the crown prince this time. Han Yunxi’s only regret was that she hadn’t utterly destroyed Mu Liuyue from their last bet. After failing to fulfill the terms of their bet, Mu Liuyue hadn’t even offered her an explanation, much less dared to show her face before today. Why wouldn’t she take revenge now? When Han Yunxi descended from the carriage, she saw Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu waiting by the side of the road.

“I thought you two went in already!” she teased.

Zhao mama was wearing a meaningful smile. “Esteemed wangfei, there are six guards in front of the entrance. This old servant has no way of going in without your help.”

Han Yunxi grew amused. “Then let’s not go in. Have her come out instead.” Having said so, she strode towards the front door until the saber-wielding guards blocked her way.

“Don’t you have any eyes? Can’t you see we’re guarding this spot?” one asked.

“What do you mean, ‘guarding?’” Han Yunxi asked, a picture of innocence.

There were thousands of retainers and guards in Tianning’s capital city. Not all of them recognized Han Yunxi’s face on sight. The current guard simply looked her up and down with a lewd glint in his eyes. With a grin, he said, “You’re actually rather attractive. Unfortunately, I’m on duty today and don’t have time to dote on you. Hurry up and leave! Don’t make me regret it.”

“Sir, I’m pretty formidable myself, you know. Take another look. Be careful you don’t lose your life!” Han Yunxi’s dainty smile was free from guile.

The guard gave a start, before patting his chest in exaggeration. “Aiya! I’m so scared!”

“Let me in and I promise you’ll be alright,” Han Yunxi smiled deviously.

Suddenly, more screams sounded from inside the store. The guard immediately stood at attention and exclaimed, “Hurry and get lost! I don’t have the time to fool around with you!”

Han Yunxi didn’t move, but instead asked curiously, “What are the origins of the person inside? Let me take a peek, maybe I’ll know them.”

“Know them? Heheh, it’ll scare you to death if I tell you! Hurry and scram, didn’t you hear me? Beat it!” the guard waved his hand at Han Yunxi impatiently.

Han Yunxi crossed her arms in front of her chest, calm and unperturbed. By now, Zhao mama had approached them with her sincere words of advice. “Little brothers, you should act low-key if you want to be respectable. My household’s mistress definitely has more formidable origins than the person inside. It’s for the best if you all get out of the way.”

The guard laughed loudly upon hearing Zhao mama’s ‘advice’. “Hear this! My household’s mistress is the young Miss of the Great General’s estate and the current crown prince’s consort-to-be!”

Zhao mama stared at him before she suddenly burst into laughter as well. “Hear this! My household’s mistress is the eldest young Miss of the Han Clan in the north of the capital city!”

The other guards only laughed at her words.

“The Han Clan’s eldest young Miss? Whoever’s heard of her?”

“Heheh, it couldn’t be that this Han Clan is related to the imperial clan in some way?”

“You think so? Amongst the imperial clansmen, the only one with a ‘Han’ surname is…”

Abruptly, the six guards realized their error and shut their mouths.

The Han Clan in the north of the capital city? There was only one Han Clan in the capital, and they were a family that practiced medicine. Their eldest young Miss was none other than…

Suddenly, the guard who’d flaunted himself at Han Yunxi trembled in fear as he fell to his knees. “Blessings to esteemed wangfei!”

The other five guards moved to copy him. “Blessings to esteemed wangfei!”

All six of them were new guards hired by Mu Liuyue. Like their mistress, they had the same temper and tendency to bully the weak. But they never expected to run into an iron wall today in the streets!

Nobody trifled with Qin Wangfei! She was famous for being difficult!

“I’m not feeling very blessed,” Han Yunxi yawned lazily. “Zhao mama, wait upon these men well!”

“Yes!” Zhao mama was waiting for those very words. She slowly approached one guard, who was so frightened that his face had turned white.

He shook his head and stuttered, “Esteemed wangfei, have mercy! Have mercy! This humble one was wrong! This humble one had eyes but didn’t see Mt. Tai and deserves ten thousand deaths! Esteemed wangfei, have mer–”

In the midst of his pleas, Zhao mama grabbed him by the ears and pinched. Immediately, all of his words turned into piteous wails. “Ahhhh…aHHHhhh…ahhHHHhhhhhh!”

Zhao mama had served in the palace for over a decade, so she was quite skilled in pinching people. The cries of the guard grew louder and louder like a shriek of a banshee. Soon enough, a crowd gathered around the store’s entrance, drawn by the commotion. Meanwhile, the girl inside the store had heard the racket and rushed outside in a flurry…
