Ms. Ma looked at Jiang Ning with suspicion.
Jiang Ning laughed and said, “Princess Consort, you’ve been living with the Crown Prince for so many years. You should know better than anyone what kind of person he is. Do I really need to remind you whether or not he’d do such a thing?”
Ms. Ma hesitated.
Of course, she knew what kind of person Li Jixian was.
He wasn’t lustful, but he was alarmingly stubborn. Once he set his eyes on something or someone he wanted, he would stop at nothing to obtain it.
Jiang Ning continued, “Princess Consort, how do you think your appearance compares to mine?”
Ms. Ma’s face darkened.
Did they even need to compare?
Anyone with eyes could see it.
Jiang Ning inherited her mother Lin Zizi’s beauty, who was the number one beauty in Chang’an City, and was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
And her?
She was moderately attractive when she was young. After years of managing household affairs and giving birth to and raising children, she had aged considerably.
What could she compare to Jiang Ning with?
Jiang Ning leisurely said, “Not only that, but I’m also good at having children. I gave birth to boy and girl twins. If I were with the Crown Prince, I would definitely have a boy. As for your son… it could be uncertain, you know.”
Ms. Ma’s expression changed completely.
“So, are you sure you want to push such a great beauty as myself towards your husband?” Jiang Ning asked soulfully, “With me around, he wouldn’t even spare you a glance in the future. Even your sons and daughters would lose their value like worthless grass.”
Clap, clap, clap.
Li Jixian clapped his hands and laughed, “Impressive, truly impressive. Princess Consort of Yu, instigating discord so openly like this is really something to admire.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Does it matter what kind of method is used, as long as it works?”
“That’s true.”
“My lord, perhaps we should forget it.” Ms. Ma suddenly spoke up, “After all, she is Prime Minister Jiang’s daughter and the Princess Consort of Yu. If anything goes wrong, it could be a big deal.”
Li Jixian shook his head, “Can’t you tell she’s trying to sow discord?”
“I know. But…” Ms. Ma hesitated, “Someone like her, your highness really shouldn’t touch her. It could lead to trouble.”
It was clear that Jiang Ning had hit her sore spot.
She didn’t care about the Crown Prince having more women; she cared about the stability of her own position and the future of her son.
Even if Jiang Ning might threaten all of this, she could never tolerate it.
Li Jixian’s face turned cold, “I knew you were stupid, but I didn’t think you were this stupid. Get out! No one is allowed to enter and disturb me without my order!”
Ms. Ma didn’t move.
“Didn’t you understand what I said?” Li Jixian’s anger was barely concealed.
“Your Highness, please let Princess Consort of Yu go.” Ms. Ma persisted.
“You lowly wretch, how dare you defy me!” Li Jixian slapped her forcefully.
Ms. Ma’s head was jerked to the side.
She covered her face, her body trembling slightly, and gritted her teeth, “If you don’t let her go immediately, I won’t care even if it causes a ruckus. If you’re not afraid of the Emperor finding out, then go ahead!”
“You dare to threaten me?” Li Jixian slapped her again, “You shameless whore, do you really think I won’t deal with you?”
Ms. Ma turned her head and shouted, “Someone!”
Li Jixian’s face changed instantly, not expecting her to really make a scene. In his desperation, he struck her neck, knocking her unconscious.
Ms. Ma collapsed to the ground.
Li Jixian closed the door and turned to Jiang Ning, “I have to say, I’ve underestimated you.”
