The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

"You dare to hit me?" Qi Man, who came back to his senses, was ashamed and annoyed, and tears of humiliation welled up in his eyes, "How dare you hit me, an unlucky person who killed your husband?"

Mu Qingyu sneered and said, "Why, you still want to try and see if I dare to hit you?"

Looking into Mu Qingyu's dark and deep eyes, Qi Man knew that Mu Qingyu would still dare to hit her.

Thinking of Mu Qingyu's terrifying eyes when he raised his hand to hit him, Qi Man took a step back in fear.

"Do you dare to go with me to the Empress Dowager and let the Empress Dowager decide!" Qi Man said.

She remembered that when she followed her mother into the palace last time, the Empress Dowager treated her kindly and even praised her a few words, thinking that the Empress Dowager liked her.

What's more, her cheeks are still burning hot, so the slap marks on her face must be shocking.

She strikes while the iron is hot, shows the marks on her face in front of the Empress Dowager, and then cries a few times in grievance, the Empress Dowager will definitely feel sorry for herself.

And if Mu Qingyu dared to do something in the palace, the Empress Dowager would not spare her lightly.

Qi Man made up her mind to drag Mu Qingyu to the Empress Dowager, but she was afraid that Mu Qingyu would not go, so she resorted to aggressive methods.

"Are you afraid? If you are afraid, as long as you apologize to me, it will be over." Qi Man raised her chin and looked at Mu Qingyu through her nostrils.

Mu Qingyu tidied up his sleeves that were messed up from his hands slowly, "I'll go with you to the Empress Dowager."

Seeing that her aggressive method had succeeded, Qi Man was afraid that Mu Qingyu would regret it.

She grabbed a court lady and said, "Sister, do you know where the empress dowager is? I'm going to pay my respects to the empress dowager."

The maid was frightened by the slap marks on Qi Man's face, and heard her ask where the empress dowager was.

The maid's gaze involuntarily shifted to Mu Qingyu's face who was standing behind. Seeing Mu Qingyu nodding slightly, the maid said, "Please come with your servant."

The maid was leading the way, and Qi Man had to turn around after walking a few steps to see if Mu Qingyu had followed.

The palace maid led a group of people to the empress dowager's side. Along the way, the red and swollen wound on Qi Man's face attracted many scrutinizing eyes.

Qi Man was ashamed and annoyed, but she had to be patient and went to the empress dowager.

As long as the Empress Dowager severely punishes Mu Qingyu, it will be regarded as a breath of anger from her.

The maid led the two of them outside the Queen Mother's bedroom and left.

Mu Qingyu and Qi Man waited at the gate of the palace until Caihe came out.

Seeing Qi Man's face, Cai He was also startled, "Miss Qi, your face..."

Qi Man knew Caihe, she was the empress dowager's most respected court lady, she couldn't help but put on a flattering tone, "Sister Caihe, is the empress dowager free to see us? My face..."

As she said that, Qi Man glared at Mu Qingyu bitterly, the meaning in her eyes was clearly accusing Mu Qingyu of beating herself.

She squeezed out a few more tears, looking very pitiful.

Cai He frowned, of course she saw what Qi Man meant.He just wanted to make this gesture and let her reprimand Mu Qingyu a few words.

Cai He reminded in a solemn voice: "Miss Qi, today is the birthday party of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. If you shed tears here, wouldn't you be ruining the happiness of the Empress Dowager and Her Highness the Eldest Princess?"

Qi Man was taken aback, she hadn't expected this, she almost forgot that entering the palace today was to celebrate Princess Chang's birthday.

Qi Man hurriedly wiped away her tears, not daring to cry anymore.

Cai He waited for Qi Man to finish his work before taking Mu Qingyu and Qi Man inside.

Under the leadership of Caihe, the two arrived in front of the Empress Dowager, and they knelt down to salute.

The Empress Dowager's deep and majestic voice came from above the two of them, "Get up."

Qi Man was overjoyed, and she stood up on her own.Her face was still in pain, she deliberately raised her face, and clearly showed the five finger prints on her face in front of the empress dowager.

She considered her words, and when she was about to start complaining in a crying voice, a figure suddenly rushed from the top, which startled her.

Chang Le jumped over Qi Man, rushed to Mu Qingyu, and pulled her up.

"Sister Qingyu, where have you been? If you don't come again, I will send someone to look for you." Chang Le pulled Mu Qingyu to sit down on the couch.

Mu Qingyu said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I went to talk to my cousin while His Highness was talking to others. My cousin is pregnant, so I don't worry about her."

A smile appeared on the serious face of the empress dowager, and when she laughed, a few more wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes, "It's a great joy, pick lotus, and it's a little love from the Ai family to prepare a gift."

"Yes." Cai He stepped back and got ready.

The Empress Dowager asked Mu Qingyu about Qin Shu again, and Chang Le interjected from time to time, and it took a while for the Empress Dowager to remember that Qi Xun was still there.

The queen mother looked at Qi Xun, and when she saw the shocking red marks on her fair and tender cheeks, she was obviously taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Qingyu looked at Qi Xun with a half-smile.

Originally, Qi Xun had prepared a lot of words to accuse Mu Qingyu, but after witnessing Mu Qingyu's intimacy with the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, he couldn't say a word.

Especially after the empress dowager gave Qin Shu a bunch of rewards, Qi Man became more and more confident.

But the burning pain on her face reminded her all the time that her slap must not be in vain.

Qi Man plucked up the courage to speak, "Mother, this is... this is..."

Qi Man stared at Mu Qingyu with accusing eyes, she raised her hand to cover her injured face, biting her lip tightly, it was very pitiful.

She didn't need to continue the second half of the sentence, everyone else understood that it was Mu Qingyu who hit Qi Man.

Chang Le didn't like Qi Man's shyness, especially the way Qi Man looked at Mu Qingyu, as if Mu Qingyu had bullied her.

Chang Le is well aware of Mu Qingyu's disposition, and he is the last thing to do to bully the weak.

"What are you doing in a secret way? If you have something to say, just say it!" Chang Le urged in a bad tone.

"Your Highness, I hit Miss Qi," Mu Qingyu said "kindly" for Qi Man, "Miss Qi pushed my cousin, and I hit Miss Qi impulsively."

What Mu Qingyu said was the truth, if anyone who witnessed the whole process was randomly picked out, what he said would definitely be the same as what Mu Qingyu said.

"I didn't mean it, I touched her accidentally." Qi Man hurriedly defended herself.

"Bold!" Chang Le reprimanded with a straight face, "How dare you call yourself me? Where did you learn the rules?"

After being reprimanded by the eldest princess, Qi Man flattened her mouth aggrievedly, not daring to complain.

She bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "It was the court lady who overstepped, please forgive me. But the court lady didn't push Mrs. Li's cousin on purpose, and Madam Li humiliated the court lady in public for this. The court lady... I don't know how to behave. !"
