Xiao Hua had always given others a docile and respectful impression. She spoke little and was timid. It also wasn't Yu Jiao's first time mocking her, and she had never responded before. She had seemed to be a sculpture who had no temper.

Of course they all knew that she wasn't completely without temper. At least, on the first day of paying respects she had made a retort, letting others know she wasn't easy to provoke. But afterwards she had never made any response, even in the face of their mockery, making them feel even more she was a sealed gourd.

Today her actions had truly taken them all aback.

Was this still that sealed gourd? Why did she seem so domineering? They saw her cute and beautiful smile, but under her fluid and charming eyes her mouth spoke words that stabbed into one's heart like a dagger.

Not only was the Jing Consort shocked, Senior Concubine Qiao was also shocked.

There was even less need to mention Yu Jiao, whose face directly turned red, and in the end slightly black.

"You you—-" Yu Jiao was so angry she couldn't speak coherently.

As Yu Jiao's good partner, Yu Rong naturally couldn't just watch her get bullied.

"Little sis Hua's words were really too ugly. We're all sisters here, is there a need to be so overbearing?"

"Oh—-"

This drawn out, melodious "oh" was a tone Xiao Hua would never use normally but was coming out of her mouth at this time. Accompanied by her suddenly radiant face, it made others feel it was well matched, as though this person should be like this to begin with.

Xiao Hua actually had a very spritely face. It was small and delicate, the most outstanding feature upon it were her peach blossom eyes. A faintly seductive appearance was discernable between her flowing gaze that took over one's soul. It was just that she normally kept her face half lowered, and remained low-key. She never fought over things and never made a fuss, making others unable to see her edge.

But for some reason today, her edge was on bright display, almost stabbing their eyes blind.

Xiao Hua didn't need a mirror to know what she looked like at the moment. Her current appearance was one she had used often in her past life. She had been a favored concubine then, and occupied the very peak of the 4th young master's heart. Wasn't it only natural that she displayed such a domineering attitude, and angered others to death without affecting herself? Using such an attitude, using such a face and using such words, she had wiped out several people who fought over favor with her.

Unexpectedly, although she wanted to remain low-key, to be tolerant and to be yielding, she was still forced to use it in this life as well.

This was drinking poison to quench one's thirst, but she had no other choice!

"Big sis Yu Rong's words are really frivolous. My words weren't directed at you, right? When she targeted this madam all those other times, why didn't you step out and say anything? After all, her words weren't directed at you either. Did you really take me as a sculpture that you can knead however you want?" She paused and said disdainfully: "What nonsense!"

The first part could be overlooked, but her last phrase was truly harsh. That tone completely displayed the meaning of the word "disdain" in great detail.

Not only was everyone shocked stiff, even the palace maids including Ding Xiang and Ding Lan were stunned.

Did this Madam Hua go crazy?

But no one could say she was in the wrong. After all, Yu Jiao, Yu Rong and Xiao Hua were all madams, and were all of the same status.

Although Yu Jiao and Yu Rong were bestowed by the emperor, they had never been visited by the Jing Prince. This was known by everyone present. Xiao Hua was also a madam, and her status was truly the lowest amongst everyone here. However, she had come from the Hall of Splendor, and even after moving to the western pavilion his highness had visited her twice.
