After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 269

269~

"How could you not harm him? Wasn't my friend driven to death by you people!?"

As she spoke, the Little Princess's hand holding the teacup was already using considerable force, but unfortunately she couldn't do like in the movies and directly crush the teacup.

"Miss Mo, I never harmed him. Just where did you hear this from?"

"..."

She had already said just now that it was Xu Hanhai who told her. At this moment, Song Siya was pretending she hadn't heard...

"Miss Song, I feel that my philosophy is incompatible with your family's. Moreover, my friend already severed ties with you people long ago. The money I'm spending is purely for my personal use, to bury my friend. It's not his money, so please leave."

Don't even think about getting a single penny!

"Of course I know that, Miss Mo. You're paying for my son's burial. I just wanted to chat with you for a bit..."

"Chat for a bit? Planning to chat your way to a Michelin restaurant and drag me to a blind date arrangement with that Xu Songwang?"

The Little Princess directly exposed Song Siya's little schemes.

"Isn't it because Miss Song thinks I'm Great Britain nobility, planning to climb the social ladder, leaping from an ordinary nouveau riche to become Great Britain nobility, realizing that pipe dream of a pheasant becoming a phoenix, so you can show off to others?"

"Then afterward, you'd devour the assets, squander them wantonly, live extravagantly outside relying on my status, live a life of drunken luxury, and finally drain all my value, then make me become a breeding tool?"

"Perhaps in the end, you'd even continue exploiting your own grandchildren, arranging marriages with other wealthy merchants and prominent families?"

The Little Princess slowly sipped her tea, laying out the future she had predicted without any concealment.

"In the end, you're just scum who will curry favor with anyone for profit, squeeze people dry until they have no value left and then casually discard those who once helped you, even treating your own flesh and blood this way!"

Her anger toward Song Siya had truly almost reached its peak...

"I never cooperate with wolves and tigers, nor would I find such a person as a partner, much less deign to look at someone like you with any respect. So Miss Song, please leave."

"You...!"

As if struck at a sore spot, Song Siya clenched her fists and slapped the table heavily.

"Miss."

"Xiao Xi, it's fine."

After soothing Maid Xiao Xi, the Little Princess continued sitting in the chair with her original composure.

"If Miss Song feels there's a problem with what I said, by all means refute me, as long as you think you have reason and evidence."

Song Siya: "..."

Of course she knew what her attitude toward her son was really like. This Miss Mo before her seemed to know everything about the conflicts between Xu Hanhai and his family, even understanding it very thoroughly.

That bastard, even in death he still had to obstruct her!?

But there was no choice. To latch onto this golden opportunity, she could only force a smile:

"This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I also wanted to treat Hanhai better, but unfortunately the child's father always favored his older brother. I also had no choice..."

"Is that so? Then if that's the case, Miss Song, why did you strip away everything from my friend during his childhood?"

Everything in this included freedom. Almost everything he did had to be done in complete compliance. One little mistake would result in a combo beating from both parents...

And all of this was so that she could eliminate all opponents at that time. When it came time to collect the fruits of success, just change the name, and all the results, all the achievements, were attributed to that bullshit older brother of his, while she was just an incompetent waste...

"You don't understand, so stop talking nonsense, okay!? Do you think I'm not heartbroken after my son passed away? That was my flesh and blood! Even if I didn't have a particularly good relationship with him before, that's my flesh and blood! If there was any other way, who would abandon their own child!?"

"Do you think this was all what I wanted? Isn't it all because he has a self-righteous father!"

The Little Princess still took small sips of her tea without much emotional fluctuation. At most, she was only slightly startled by Song Siya's sudden loud shouting.

If she hadn't personally experienced it, she might have even believed this pack of lies. At that time, Song Siya had unhesitatingly taken everything from her, including the company she later established through her own accumulated efforts, forcing her to "agree" to transfer all the shares directly to that Xu Songwang.

Everything this woman had done to her, she remembered very clearly.

"Isn't my meaning clear enough? Miss Song, please leave. My small temple cannot accommodate several great Buddhas like you. Please seek another lofty establishment, Miss Song."

"You...!"

Seeing that Miss Mo before her had no intention whatsoever of going along with her wishes, she became somewhat anxious.

Shouldn't these nobles not know how to refuse requests? Especially requests from their friend's mother. How could this person be so good at deflecting? And she even insulted her to her face!

"Miss Mo, I know there may be misunderstandings between us, but it's not to the point where you need to humiliate me like this, right?"

"That's really enough. I've heard enough of your nonsense. Do I need to repeat it again? My temple is small and cannot accommodate several great Buddhas. Can you please stop bothering me?"

She hadn't expected Song Siya to be this persistent...

"Listen..."

"Xiao Xi! See the guest out!"

"Understood!"

Receiving the order, Maid Xiao Xi immediately stepped forward and made a gesture for Song Siya to leave.

"Tch..."

Until the very end, the Little Princess could still see Song Siya's unwilling expression, unwilling to accept that such an opportunity to soar to success had just fallen through like this!

"Princess, that person was?"

"I think you've been quite clever all along. After so much time, you should understand some things, right?"

"...I understand. Actually, Princess, you were originally a person of this world, weren't you?"

"Indeed. However, Xiao Xi, it seems you also have some things you're hiding from me?"

Taking advantage of this opening, the Little Princess tried to probe Maid Xiao Xi.

"I am absolutely loyal to Princess. Even if there are things I'm hiding from you, Princess, it's for your sake. Please rest assured, Princess, I will absolutely never betray you."

Mo: "..."

Staring into Maid Xiao Xi's eyes for a good while, the Little Princess withdrew her gaze and continued drinking her black tea.

Hopefully that was the case.

"Xiao Xi, go brew another pot of tea. It's gotten a bit cold."

"Yes!"

......

......

Another half month passed. During this time, the Empress had also accumulated sufficient magic power and returned to the bedchamber that had now become a villa, while carrying some modern pastries in her hand.

Through this period of time, her understanding of the modern world had grown considerably. Basically, there wouldn't be any more cognitive barriers.

"Princess!"

"Mm...?"

The Little Princess, forcibly powered on, rubbed her eyes and looked at Maid Xiao Xi with some dissatisfaction.
