If that’s really the case, then he would have even more to say and could easily accuse Zui Yiming of being rebellious and unfilial.
"I was just in Zui Yiming’s palace and saw Yin Baiqing. That little beast is quite sothing now; every word he says is barbed. He nearly left speechless,"
Madam Zui said.
Thinking of Yin Baiqing made her grit her teeth with resentnt.
If Zui Yiming hadn’t seen Yin Baiqing return, would she have dared to speak to her like this? Even if she had a hundred tis the guts, she wouldn’t dare.
"The prince is back?"
The head of the Zui Family was taken aback. Didn’t they say Yin Baiqing had gone outside to train with his benefactor?
Did he return so soon?
"Why has he co back at this ti?"
"Who knows."
Madam Zui echoed, not expecting Yin Baiqing would return so quickly either.
"I can’t figure out how he didn’t die out there and actually ca back. Now, Zui Yiming is even more proud. Master, you have to find a way to kill that little beast, or else... ah!"
Before she finished her sentence, she was slapped away by the head of the Zui Family.
"Shut your mouth at once!"
The head of the Zui Family’s forehead was pulsing with veins.
"Ma—Master..."
Madam Zui stood in disbelief for a long ti, blood at the corner of her mouth, clearly hurt from the blow.
"You idiot, how did I end up marrying a woman who doesn’t know when to shut her mouth? How dare you ntion the prince so recklessly! Are you hoping no one will hear?"
From what was heard today, it was evident that this woman and Zui Yichun often talked outside about Zui Yiming and Yin Baiqing.
Perhaps they’ve even ntioned wanting to kill Yin Baiqing, the prince.
The thought that such words might have reached the emperor’s ears made his back break out in a cold sweat, nearly scared to death by them.
"I—"
Madam Zui fluttered her eyelashes, cautiously looking at her husband.
She had only spoken within her own ho, not outside. Who would hear?
Besides, hadn’t she heard this man himself say to get rid of Yin Baiqing before? Didn’t he make a mistake as well?
"You tell , did you say those words outside too?" The head of the Zui Family glared at her, questioning.
"No, I didn’t."
Madam Zui imdiately shook her head. She’s not foolish; why would she say such things outside?
If outsiders heard such words, it would be a capital cri.
"Master, I wouldn’t dare say such things outside, truly I didn’t."
"You didn’t say it, but what about Chun’er?" the head of the Zui Family continued to ask.
It then occurred to him that if Chun’er had rely said a few bad things about Zui Yiming, it wouldn’t be enough to get imprisoned in Quan Palace. Could that fool have said sothing about wanting to kill Yin Baiqing outside?
If that’s really the case, then there’s no need to enter the palace; Zui Yichun is beyond saving.
"No, how could Chun’er have said that outside? She wouldn’t." Madam Zui quickly denied it.
Even if she believed in her heart that Zui Yichun really would say such things outside, she wouldn’t dare admit it in front of the master of the Zui Family, or else how could Chun’er be saved?
As the lady of the Zui Family, she understood the gravity of the situation.
