Chapter 414 You're really something!

"Ye'er, what are you doing?" Princess Zhao's face darkened even more when she saw Zhao Baoye protecting Qi Yunran.

Zhao Baoye looked at Princess Zhao with a bad expression: "I want to ask what Mother is doing? What wrong did Ranran do that made Mother want to beat and imprison her right away?"

"Ye'er, what do you mean by this? You're going to turn against your mother for this woman?" Princess Zhao stared wide-eyed, seemingly in disbelief!
"Mother, things aren't what you think!" Zhao Baoye tried to make things clear.

But seeing her son, who had always been very filial to her, suddenly protecting a woman and even criticizing her on her behalf?
Princess Zhao immediately felt her blood boil and roared, "Ye'er, how dare you question your mother? Has this woman bewitched you? And you even told your mother not to misunderstand? Then tell your mother you don't like her!"

Zhao Baoye immediately lowered his head, his eyes darting around unnaturally.

Qi Yunran also felt confused: "Princess Zhao, please be careful what you say before things are cleared up. I have no relationship with the young prince. If we must talk about a relationship, it's just a business relationship..."

"Shut up, you bitch! When did you become a mouth to talk here?"

"Mother, please stop!"

"Shut up, you too! What do you mean it's okay? You've been lying to my son for years, making him sell the Duan inkstone to you for a pittance of a thousand taels of silver! If it weren't for the portrait the shopkeeper sent me, I would have actually believed your lies!"

“Zhao Baoye sold it to me voluntarily; I didn’t force him to buy it…”

"Of course you're saying that now, because you've taken a fancy to the Prime Minister again. Yesterday you tricked my son into giving you 40,000 taels of silver so you could go see the Prime Minister at court. You're really something, using my son's money to curry favor with another man?"

Zhao Baoye looked at Princess Zhao in shock: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Son, I'll show you her true colors. This woman is cunning and ambitious. Seeing that my Prince Zhao's residence is too difficult to enter, she's set her sights on the Prime Minister's residence. Doesn't she even know what makes her worthy of it..."

"Mother, stop! Do you know what you're saying?" "What am I saying? I just want you to see her true colors. You're already twenty-three and still unmarried. For so many years, I've arranged marriages for you, and you've been so picky. I just thought you looked down on them. But who knew you'd say this scheming woman is your favorite? Where do you put your mother? The noble lady I chose for you is getting married tomorrow, and you've caused such a scene. How can I save face? What will outsiders think of our Prince's Mansion?"

"Mother is exaggerating, it's nothing at all! Ranran, she..."

"Ranran? Zhao Baoye, please call me Madam Xian."

Zhao Baoye's expression stiffened slightly as he looked at Qi Yunran's indifferent face. A pang of pain rose in his heart.

With a hurt expression and a bitter voice, she said, "Ran... Madam Xian, it was my mother who was reckless and did not understand the truth of the matter. Please do not hold it against her."

Qi Yunran sneered: "I have truly experienced the way the Prince Zhao's mansion treats its guests!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Zhao suddenly realized something was amiss: "Ye'er, what... what did you just call her?"

He looked at Qi Yunran with a somewhat surprised and uncertain gaze.

Zhao Baoye said with some pain, "She is the Virtuous Consort personally appointed by the Emperor. The Crown Prince's foster mother, and the Prime Minister's wife!"

Princess Zhao was shocked and stood up from her seat, staring in disbelief at Qi Yunran's cold and indifferent face.

No wonder she wasn't intimidated by his deliberate coldness and rudeness when she came in; it turns out she was actually the Emperor's personally appointed virtuous wife.
