CHAPTER 50

Sorry Didn’t Pay Attention to Your Family’s Master

“Princess ZiLing, what are you talking about? I don’t really understand…” Jing Yue blinked her eyes and stared at ZiLing with a confused expression.

“You still dare to quibble! Those words you said yesterday; weren’t all of them only to deceive this princess!?” ZiLing pointed furiously at Jing Yue and spoke.

“She is taking Princess ZiLing as a monkey to be played with.” Jing Yan quietly said those kinds of words in ZiLing’s ear.

“Your courage is really big! You are nothing but a candidate to be Ninth Huang Fei yet you already dare to ride this Princess’ head! If I don’t give you a lesson, you really won’t understand how high the sky and how thick the earth is*!” ZiLing spoke with a raised chin. She stared at Jing Yue and coldly said: “Come! Give her a slap!”

“Yes.” The maid behind ZiLing arrogantly walked towards Jing Yue. When she saw Jing Yue’s small face was still smiling as before, she suddenly felt angry; which subordinate** wouldn’t tremble with fear if they were being admonished? Jing Yue actually still dared to be this arrogant.

That maid was furious; she had followed ZiLing for a long time and no one had ever regarded her like that. She stared at Jing Yue’s small face and raised her hand to slap her: “Cheap wench who doesn’t understand etiquette!”

“Pa (slap)!”

“Ah!”

This slap fell down correctly; however, the person who got slapped was actually swapped around. Jing Yue flung her hand; she raised her brows to stare at that maid before saying: “Your face is indeed very thick, slapping it made this lady’s hand hurt. Does being slapped by someone feels good?”

“You…… You……” That maid raised her hand and pointed at Jing Yue, she had probably never expected that Jing Yue would actually dare to slap her in front of ZiLing.

“O… sorry.” Jing Yue politely bowed and said: “I forgot… as the proverb says, when you hit a dog, you still have to see the master. Sorry I didn’t pay attention to your family’s master.”

“Jing Yue! You actually dare to scold this princess is a dog!” ZiLing’s face swelled and went very red. Without thinking further, she pushed that maid away and raised her hand towards Jing Yue’s face to slap her.

“Kacha(snap)…… Ah!” Jing Yue used all her power to twist ZiLing’s hand. She watched ZiLing coldly and said: “Do you think I would foolishly stand here and let you hit me? Originally, I didn’t want to argue with you, but now you personally came to me, why should I be polite?”

Jing Yan was absolutely scared to see ZiLing showing a painful expression across her whole face without daring to budge at all. She hastily shouted: “Jing Yue! What are you doing? You actually dare to use violence against the princess! Don’t you want to live?”

“You shut your mouth!” Jing Yue stared coldly at Jing Yan who couldn’t help but fell a step back to be stared at by Jing Yue’s knife-sharp eyes.

“Princess ZiLing, y

ou are also very stupid. You are being used by someone but you still think you are very powerful? Jing Yan only said some words and you believed her at once? In the end, aren’t you the one who suffered? She, Jing Yan, would back off after saying a random thing and already have not the slightest relation to the problem. I really don’t understand how this head of yours grew.”

ZiLing was somewhat startled; she looked up and down at Jing Yue in a bit of doubt before asking: “You…… What do you mean?”

“What else can it be? Disagreement between two persons is normal, how did you know Ninth Huang Shu and I weren’t playing?” Jing Yue stared at ZiLing as if she was looking at an idiot and slowly released her hand. She coldly said: “It’s lucky that you are still a princess after running around in circles being played by a small woman from government official’s house.”

Jing Yan was extremely terrified because of Jing Yue’s words; she pointed angrily at Jing Yue and said: “You’re talking nonsense! You’re clearly quibbling!”

“If you say I’m quibbling then take it as I’m quibbling; after all, I am not The Miss Jing Yan who has those kinds of good relations.h.i.+ps with others. In the end whatever I said would be said as quibble.” Jing Yue snorted coldly, turned her body around and left.

*不知天高地厚 (bùzhī tiāngāodìhòule): doesn’t to know the immensity of heaven and earth/ doesn’t to know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is; think to greatly of one’s abilities, doesn’t understand how things really are.

** the subordinate here means small person, someone with a lesser ident.i.ty/rank/position. The maid thought Jing Yue was lesser than ZiLing in ident.i.ty as she was only a candidate to be ninth Huang Fei.
