Chapter 1155: Chapter 1154: Arrogant

"Chu Qianli, what do you mean by that? Are you doubting the words of this Commandery Princess?"

Although Chu Feiyan spoke to Chu Qianli, her icy gaze was fixed on Chu Qianqian.

"This Commandery Princess has never slandered you, have I? Speak for yourself!"

Chu Qianqian shrank her neck in fear of the threatening aura in Chu Feiyan’s eyes and didn’t dare to speak immediately.

Chu Qianli laughed again: "Princess Feiyan, I know you are favored by Empress Dowager, but, do you think she can’t see through you threatening others right in front of her?"

Empress Dowager was taken aback.

Goodness, she really hadn’t noticed.

But... was it really so?

Chu Feiyan’s face changed, turning red with anger in an instant.

"When did this Commandery Princess ever threaten anyone? Qianqian, my sister, tell us! Did I threaten you?"

"I..." Chu Qianqian lowered her head, holding back many words she wanted to say, feeling very wronged.

Yet she knew that some words, once spoken, would bring great trouble in the future.

But if she stays silent, being wronged again, she would never be able to hold her head high in front of Princess Feiyan.

But, her mother had said, her father had no interest in competing for power, he had not a single ally.

If they were to anger King Yu, their entire family would suffer.

She dared not...

"If you are willing to carry injustice for a lifetime, no one will care about you. But if you want to hold your head high, you should be upright and true to yourself."

"Qianqian..."

"Princess, why must you suppress your daughter’s true nature? Is keeping the peace more important to you than your daughter’s grievances?"

"I..." The Princess clenched her fists so tight she couldn’t utter a word.

Empress Dowager and the nurse exchange glances.

Princess Qianqian wasn’t like this in the past; usually, she would quickly admit her faults.

But this time, it seemed a few words from Chu Qianli had provoked her into wanting to retort.

This girl named Chu Qianli sure is formidable!

"Qianqian, if you truly have any grievances, tell your great-grandmother clearly, but..."

Empress Dowager’s eyes darkened, and her voice grew stern: "You must know, I cannot tolerate any deceit. If you lie, I will not let you off easily."

"It seems the Empress Dowager has already made up her mind, presuming Princess Qianqian to be a liar," Chu Qianli said with a smile.

The nurse and the Princess’s faces changed immediately.

The Princess hastily tugged at Chu Qianli’s sleeve: "Miss Chu, you mustn’t..."

"Insolence!" The nurse was instantly enraged, "Utterly preposterous! Guards..."

"Empress Dowager, will you not grant Princess Qianqian a fair chance to speak?" Chu Qianli remained unshaken, her smile persisting as usual.

Empress Dowager was somewhat irritated.

No one had ever been so bold in front of her.

Even her son treated her with respect; where did this wild girl Chu Qianli get the audacity?

No wonder Feiyan claimed Chu Qianli had always bullied her, it turns out Chu Qianli was indeed so fierce!

"May I ask Empress Dowager, are you really going to show such favoritism towards Princess Feiyan without giving Princess Qianqian a chance to explain?"

"Miss Chu..." The Princess truly seemed panicked now, frantically tugging at her from behind.

But Chu Qianli simply didn’t care, still with a cheerful demeanor, looking at Empress Dowager.

The guards rushed in, about to seize Chu Qianli.

But at this moment, Empress Dowager suddenly waved her hand.

The two guards immediately retreated.

Princess Feiyan grew anxious: "Great-grandmother..."

"Nobody can slander you as long as you are innocent."

Empress Dowager’s voice was soft, but when directed at Chu Qianqian, it immediately turned grave: "Qianqian, I now give you the opportunity to speak clearly!"
