"Pah!"

"That damn bastard! I swear I will get it back!"

After everyone left, Her Empress Dowager nearly smashed everything her hands could reach onto the ground, and his well-maintained face got distorted because of anger. And Old Lady Zheng who secretly came back after pretending to leave with others. Today, the main reason they lost was that they had underestimated that demon farmer!

"Please stay eased, My Empress Dowager! It's useless to say anything now. We'd better figure out how to suppress that farmer in the future. After today's thing, he'd only get more arrogant. In the future, not only us, even you have to yield before him."

Old Lady Zheng looked up at Her Empress Dowager up there, looking quite worried, but actually, her words were only like adding fuel to the fire. Her Empress Dowager threw a hard stare at her and blurted out, "I dare him!"

"Allow my boldness, My Empress Dowager. Didn't you see clearly about today's situation? Is there anything he dare not? With Highness Sheng on his back, has he ever put you in his eyes? Not today, not in the future. So you'd better watch out for him."

His Highness Sheng was not someone anyone could afford to offend. As long as they wanted to get it back, they could only reply on Her Empress Dowager.

"I agree with what Old Lady Zheng said. Your Empress Dowager, we shouldn't belittle him like before. If it weren't that we have taken him lightly today, how would he have had a chance to reject the marriage thing?"

If it hadn't been that Her Empress Dowager got something caught in his hand, how would they have lost so thoroughly? From the very beginning, they shouldn't have taken him as a mere farmer.

"I know."

Hearing what the two of them said, Her Empress Dowager had to accept the reality, and that pair of gloomy eyes surged with anger. After quite some time, she suppressed her anger a little bit, "I admit that he is kind of smart. According what he has done in his mansion, I guess he should have some little tricks. But what he replies on most is from Shengrui. You stay out of this. I'll go talk to His Majesty on this."

Hearing that, Old Lady Zheng and Mammy Jin both let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Finally, Her Empress Dowager had chilled out a bit. Yeah, the reason that silly farmer dare act like that before everyone, one of the main reasons was that behind him was His Highness Sheng. Anyone who tried to touch him had to touch His Highness Sheng first. So. The title of Her Empress Dowager and His Majesty was undoubtedly the sharpest weapon.

"Get out of here!"

In Minxiu Palace, East Palace, Noble Consort Xiao who had stormed back yelled at anyone she saw, and Old Lady Xiao, Lady Zeng, first wife of the big prince Yan Xiaozheng, Lady Wang, first wife of the fourth prince Yan Xiaoyi and the big princess Xiaoqiang all slightly sighed behind as they waved off the maids and eunuchs aside.

"You are no longer a kid. How would you have acted so impulsively? You have brought this humiliation on yourself. You have no one to blame."

Old Lady Xiao was Noble Consort Xiao's mother, so she was quite direct when talking to her. She had seen everything that happened today. At first, she had already noticed that Crown Princess Sheng was not right. How would a man like His Highness Sheng find a stupid farmer as his wife? Facts proved that her intuition was right. That farmer was not a common one. He first frustrated Old Lady Zheng and Her Empress Dowager, and then insulted her daughter by the way. It was a total lie if she said she was not mad at all. But now was not the time to be mad.
