Mo Qingyu’s eyes, that had originally been filled with insipidness, suddenly sobered up. Seeing Mo Qingli’s indifference, her eyebrows uncharacteristically furrowed; the normal Mo Qingli, wouldn’t she have already thrown herself at Mo Qingyu in an effort to gain her favor? Furthermore, the chilly aura that was currently being emitted from her body caused Mo Qingyu to feel fear in the bottom of her heart.
She reached out a hand and tried to push away the man that was currently leaning on her. However, at this moment, the man’s mind was currently high with pleasure, unwilling to move.
Fed up, Mo Qingyu grabbed the sword that was currently lying on the table, thrusting it towards the man that was leaning on her, blood-red liquid appearing along the lines of where the sword had landed. The man opened both of his eyes widely, not understanding why the previously tender and gentle eldest princess would suddenly stab him to death. However, in this lifetime he didn’t have any opportunity to open his mouth and ask.
In disgust, Mo Qingyu tore open the body of the man on top of her, the nearby maids immediately producing handkerchiefs and gently wiping off all the blood on Mo Qingyu’s palms.
At this moment the remaining three men who were nearby suddenly snapped back to reality, collapsing onto the ground, their legs shaking endlessly, looking towards Tao Yi, their eyes filled with fear.
Tao Yi also had been extremely terrified; normally, when the eldest princess was in a bad temperament, she would hit people, but never before had circumstances like today occurred, where in the midst of “exercising”, when somebody said they were getting stabbed to death they were actually getting stabbed to death!¹
Cold droplets of sweat trailed down Tao Yi’s forehead. From the corner of his eye he looked at Mo Qingli, who was currently leaning against the entranceway. However, just at that moment Mo Qingli shot a look towards him at the same time, as cold as a container of ice; from the inside to out he was completely penetrated with that chill.
“Eldest princess…” Even though things had turned out like this, Tao Yi still forced himself to laugh mockingly as he addressed Mo Qingyu, his entire body trembling.
“This matter, you don’t have to worry about it, I will explain.” Mo Qingyu still maintained her arrogant attitude even now. “Now, bring them with you, and get out.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Tao Yi ushered the three men and dragged the dead man with him, hurriedly leaving.
Mo Qingyu’s guards and maids as well as Yue Yao stood at the entranceway, defending their own masters.
Mo Qingyu pulled up the clothing on her body, after which she carefully sized up Mo Qingli, who was currently sitting across from her. The Mo Qingli now was still reminiscent of her former insipid appearance, although now she resembled more like a fallen fairy, pure and cleansed.
Mo Qingyu shook her head. Fairy? Heh… how could this be, an idiot like her, who’s only use was to be devoted follower, and who would only blindly offer her flattery in an attempt to earn her favor. If Mo Qingyu were to order her to head north, she would never dream of heading south. How could somebody like this be compared to a fairy?
“Sixth sister!” Mo Qingyu took initiative, her tone unpleasant.
Mo Qingli sat on the chair, fiddling with the golden ring on her finger, lowering her eyes and not looking at her, instead indifferently replying: “Eldest sister.”
Mo Qingyu’s eyebrows furrowed together, faint signs of anger appearing on her face. “This sixth sister shows no respect when talking to her eldest sister; certainly this eldest sister knows how stupid the sixth sister is, but could it be that you can’t even remember basic etiquette?”
“Oh? Then how can eldest sister explain how she treats human life like mustard grass?²” Mo Qingli unhurriedly raised her pupils, long and narrow almond-shaped eyes looking towards Mo Qingyu, revealing not even a trace of warmth.
Mo Qingyu, at being greeted with Mo Qingli’s attitude was startled into stunned silence. Afterwards, she slowly turned around her body, her entire self filled with anger, grabbing onto the table that was still covered in blood: “Mo Qingli, who do you think you are? You’re just an illegitimate child that’s not even on the same level as an ordinary maid. If it weren’t for me protecting you all this time, do you really think you would have been able to have your own residence? If it weren’t for me saying good things about you to the Mother Empress, do you really think you would have been able to peacefully embrace all sorts of beautiful men?”
¹You guessed it folks, it’s a sex joke.
²Mustard grass is a weed, i.e. worthless
