Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess
Chapter 67 - 63 Two Liang Maid?

Chapter 67: Chapter 63 Two Liang Maid?

The girl’s mood was as unpredictable as clouds and fog.

When in a good mood, the little princess was as benevolent as a Bodhisattva.

She would leave food for mice and spare moths when lighting lamps.

Not to mention bullying someone, even if she encountered an ant on the road during the rain, she would hold an umbrella over it to prevent it from being washed away and losing its way home.

If the ant accidentally died, she would grieve for a long time.

When in a bad mood, she turned into a capricious Rakshasa with a strong desire for destruction.

Beating and scolding maids was a minor matter, and occasionally, when she felt unwell, she would go to the Lion Garden built by the Emperor for her, throwing in a few prisoners or several displeasing maidservants. Only by listening to their piercing and miserable screams would the corners of her lips slightly lift.

Unfortunately, at this moment, her mood was very poor.

Exceedingly poor.

The little princess, who had been upset by Li Guanshi, had planned to return to the palace to complain to her father, the Emperor, and then take some maids and eunuchs to the Lion Garden to clear her mind.

But now, she found the little beggar very annoying, especially those clean eyes of his.

They reminded her of that royal sister.

Someone she extremely disliked.

It was just a worthless life, if killed, then so be it.

At least it would make her feel a little better, and she would kill two fewer maids and eunuchs when she got back. That would count as a Bodhisattva-like compassion.

Hearing the little princess’s command, the guard didn’t hesitate and approached the thin, dark-skinned girl.

"Come back!"

Crown Prince Zhou Wei suddenly yelled.

The guard stiffened, turned around, and returned to the front of the carriage.

He could clearly distinguish whose command was more important between the Crown Prince and the princess.

Zhou Xiyue glared resentfully and angrily at her elder brother, with tears swirling in her eyes, "Mother, look, even Crown Prince Brother is bullying me! Back to the palace! I want to go back to the palace and find Father! "

Zhou Wei felt a headache coming on.

Of course, he didn’t care about the life and death of that little beggar, but after all, this was outside the palace; he needed to be more restrained.

There were quite a few people watching this carriage.

Among them might be the Prince who had come close to replacing him as Crown Prince.

Not just a beggar, even if it were an ant that was crushed, those officials behind the third Prince could conjure up a pile of accusatory memorials and documents to cause trouble.

"Listen to your Crown Prince Brother."

Consort Lan didn’t side with her daughter.

Seeing her younger sister making an ever bigger fuss, Zhou Wei helplessly asked, "Do you really want to kill that little beggar?"

Still in a fit of anger, the little princess turned her head away, "I wouldn’t dare. In front of Crown Prince Brother, how could a girl like me dare to kill someone? I’m afraid I’d be pushed to the vegetable market for beheading before noon tomorrow!"

Zhou Wei was amused by anger.

He reached out to wipe away the tears on his sister’s face, but she dodged and wouldn’t let him touch her.

Zhou Wei shook his head helplessly and asked the guard for a small lump of gold, then softly said to his sister, "Give this little piece of gold to that little beggar."

At first, Zhou Xiyue was puzzled, but when she heard his words, she suddenly became enraged.

Her mood was already poor, and it was enough that she couldn’t kill even a little beggar, but to give them gold too—was I, Zhou Xiyue, born to be a pushover?

The second Prince, Zhou Kang, who had been silently drinking wine, laughed and said, "Girl, Crown Prince Brother is teaching you how to kill someone. Learn it well."

The little princess paused, her face full of suspicion.

Fearing that the girl would become obsessed, Zhou Kang wiped the wine from his lips and patiently explained:

"Killing someone outside the imperial palace, even if it’s just a small beggar, can be turned into an issue by those with ulterior motives. Although big brother Crown Prince’s position is stable for now, until it is solidified... Just be cautious in your actions.

But if you really want to take your anger out on that little beggar, then change the method.

What do you think, if this little piece of gold ends up in that little beggar’s hands, how long can she protect it? Those beggars from before haven’t gone far, so..."

Before Zhou Kang could finish, the young princess, who had already realized the implication, said with a sparkling expression, "So, those beggars will definitely fight over that piece of gold, murder for treasure! What’s that saying? Possession of the gem itself incriminates? Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

Crown Prince Zhou Wei took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the tears from his sister’s face, and softly said:

"To kill with a knife directly will ultimately splatter blood on oneself. It’s better to play the good person, to unintentionally do a bad thing, and it won’t be your fault. That little beggar will regard you as her benefactor, and even if she dies, she will feel sorry for your kindness."

The little princess’s smile was radiant, and she gave a thumbs-up, "Crown Prince brother is truly impressive."

Zhou Wei smiled, but his eyes were somewhat dark.

When his little sister was in a bad mood, his own mood as a brother was even worse.

He wanted to kill someone too!

But how could killing a small beggar satisfy him when the one he really wanted to kill was that third prince who seemed to be hiding his capabilities and biding his time.

Zhou Xiyue lifted the carriage curtain and deliberately shouted to the little beggar huddled against the earthen wall, "Little girl, take this gold quickly. Buy some clothes, buy some food; it’s so cold, you will freeze."

The young girl extended the gold out of the carriage window, her beautiful eyes filled with pity and sincerity.

The moonlight was bright, the young girl charming and attractive.

She was like a kind-hearted fairy.

Only the hint of mockery and bloodthirsty expectation in the bottom of the girl’s eyes betrayed the excitement within her at this moment.

The little princess deliberately played a trick, holding the gold tightly in her fist. This way, no one would know how many small pieces of gold she was giving to the little girl.

She guessed that even if the girl was stripped in search of the gold, people would continue to look.

Sure enough, there was some commotion among the beggars in the distance.

What surprised Zhou Xiyue, however, was that the dark and skinny girl only glanced at her before shifting her gaze away, with no intention of moving her legs.

Zhou Xiyue was a bit stunned.

Ordinary households, let alone beggars, even some wealthy merchants couldn’t take their eyes off a piece of gold and would excitedly come to claim it.

But this little beggar was completely uninterested, as if what she held was not gold, but a piece of sheep dung.

Zhou Xiyue’s originally improving mood instantly darkened, and she was about to throw the gold at the ungrateful little beggar, but then she heard her Crown Prince brother say, "Get off the carriage and give it to her personally, and be polite."

Zhou Xiyue gritted her teeth, jumped down from the carriage, and walked towards the dark and skinny girl.

Suppressing her disgust, with a beautiful and gentle face, she said with a sweet smile:

"Little girl, take this gold. It will ensure you don’t have to beg for a few years. Go buy some new clothes; a girl should dress herself up nice and pretty..."

The dark and skinny girl finally lifted her small face and earnestly said, "I’m sorry, sister, without my master’s permission, I won’t take anything anyone gives me."

Master?

Zhou Xiyue didn’t understand.

This little beggar had a master?

Was it someone hiding behind the scenes exploiting her for money?

The little princess was indeed aware of some of the dirty tricks beyond the palace walls.

Zhou Xiyue laughed and said, "With this gold, your master will give you your freedom, and afterwards, you can do whatever you want."

The dark and skinny girl still shook her head.

She had already sold herself to ensure her grandfather had a proper burial.

Even for just a couple of pieces of silver, she needed to find the master who had bought her at that time.

Zhou Xiyue, growing impatient, was ready to force the gold into the hands of the dark and skinny girl, when a crisp yet indifferent voice came from the side, "Take the gold back!"
