Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 636: Bitten by a Mad Dog (2)

Jiazhen also looked towards the newcomer and smirked bitterly in her heart. One more formidable than the next, none were good birds.

"Oh, whom did I think it was? It’s none other than little sister Li," she said, watching her prance and preen, feeling even more furious inside.

Consort Li sauntered towards Feng Xuxu, not waiting for Yingsu to block her, but she stopped on her own, circling around Feng Xuxu. Shaking her head in feigned admiration while clicking her tongue in a string of exclamations, she then covered her lips with a light chuckle, "Consort Hua, sister, why trouble a newly arrived consort? However, her figure truly surpasses sister’s by a thousandfold."

Consort Hua laughed out of sheer anger, the tassels on her head trembling because of her laugh. Consort Li was irked by her laughter and frowned in displeasure, "What’s the matter with sister? If you’ve been bitten by a mad dog, you’d better hurry inside instead of coming out to bite people." When she mentioned the mad dog, her eyes intentionally glanced at Feng Xuxu and her party with a look of superiority.

Feng Xuxu’s smile on her face grew wider, making Yingsu and Mei Lenglei beside her feel uneasy. The more their master smiled like this, the more it proved she was truly angered.

Jiazhen looked at her worriedly, tugging at her sleeve and whispering, "Cousin sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare Zhenzhen."

Feng Xuxu turned her head towards her, asking with suspicion, "I’m fine."

"But your smile just now... it was... very... strange," Jiazhen said, tilting her head and struggling to find a word suitable for her cousin sister-in-law’s smile.

Feng Xuxu, surprised, asked the other two beside her, "Do I really?"

Yingsu and Mei Lenglei dared not make a sound, but nodded their heads vigorously. Feng Xuxu touched her chin thoughtfully and came up with a term, telling them, "Remember, I call this a ’ghost worry smile’."

All three exchanged surprised looks, and Xiao Jiazhen timidly asked, "Why such a spooky name?"

"Hehehe, even ghosts would worry upon seeing this smile of mine, let alone people!" Without paying further heed to the other three, she continued watching the quarreling people ahead. Such entertainment couldn’t be witnessed in her own palace, a rare chance to watch a show for free. As for their insults towards her, she would deal with them later. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Jiazhen shrugged her shoulders and continued to follow and watch the chaos, treating it as a learning experience.

The quarreling duo became intensely engrossed, their faces flushed with exertion. The guards surrounding Feng Xuxu were caught between laughter and tears; wanting to retreat, they couldn’t, as Consort Hua had not given an order, and could only stand there watching the women tear into each other.

Feng Xuxu watched as one accused the other of lacking a face but boasting a figure, the clear implication being "big breasts but no brains," while the other retorted that she had a face but no figure, driven by envy and jealousy. The dispute escalated to the brink of physical conflict when Consort Hua’s guards stepped forward decisively, bowing with fists clasped and saying, "Consort Hua, should these people be apprehended?"

Snapping out of it and seeing their laughter, both angry, shouted the same word, "Kill."

"Capture." The two uttered different commands at the same time.

"I hold the Phoenix Seal, so heed my command and execute them on the spot."

This time, it was Consort Li who remained silent. Seeing as she was willing to kill the emperor’s newly favored consort brought into the palace, she was more than happy to comply — it saved her the trouble of taking action herself. Even if the emperor punished someone, it wouldn’t fall upon her.

Those surrounding them drew their swords to strike at Feng Xuxu, but Yingsu and Mei Lenglei shielded her from the outside. Feng Xuxu took the opportunity to pull Xiao Jiazhen, who was pale, to the side for a few steps, and while Jiazhen’s attention was on Yingsu and the others, she stretched out a chop hand, knocking Jiazhen unconscious with a swift blow. Holding onto her as she steadied herself, Feng Xuxu watched her maids fighting with the men, knowing full well that the strength of two women couldn’t compare to theirs. She narrowed her eyes and yelled towards a certain spot in the sky, "Death Warriors!"

Like a spectral shadow, a figure cut through the sky, kneeling directly before Feng Xuxu, head bowed in silence.
