Chapter 1287 - 480: Palace Scheming Can’t Compare to Rebellion (Part 17)
Zheng Nianer lifted her head and looked at the visitor—
The speaker was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen, with an average appearance but bright and bold brows.
This was a girl who had been pampered growing up!
Her still somewhat childlike face was full of arrogance and wantonness.
The gaze she directed at Zheng Nianer was very complex, filled with disdain, jealousy, contempt, and intense malice.
"This person has come with ill intentions!" Zheng Nianer’s heart rang with alarm.
She vaguely guessed the visitor’s identity—the future Empress, Tao Yong’s cherished daughter, Tao Youwei.
"I am Zheng Nianer, I don’t know—"
Zheng Nianer had some suspicions but still pretended to ask a question doubtfully.
However, before Zheng Nianer could finish speaking, the vibrant woman before her changed her expression.
"Well, it’s really you, you shameless seductress!"
"As expected of the vile spawn of a slave, lowly and shameless!"
"The elder seduces people’s sons, the younger flatters and entices!"
"You wretched woman, doing so many shameless things, you still have the face to appear in public?"
The woman in the crimson dress cursed crudely, and in her words, she dragged Lady Hu into it as well.
Zheng Nianer’s face turned very ugly; cursing is one thing, but why bring parents into this?
Zheng Nianer was originally a proud and independent woman, she never intended to seduce men, much less the Emperor who was destined to be a universal plug.
If she hadn’t been bound to a rogue system, Zheng Nianer would have long drawn a line with the Emperor, where would she tolerate him sweet-talking her when he already had a fiancée?!
Even being coerced by the system, Zheng Nianer never had feelings for the Emperor, nor did she think about vying for anything with Tao Youwei.
And going a step further, even if Zheng Nianer had an affair with the Emperor, should only the woman be blamed in such matters?
Isn’t the man’s mistake even greater?
No one forced Emperor Yongcheng at knifepoint; if he didn’t want to, would he have come to visit Zheng Nianer time and again?
Zheng Nianer at most did not refuse. Is her sin greater than Emperor Yongcheng’s?!
Tao Youwei didn’t go to confront the scumbag but came to humiliate her instead, simply because she thought she was easy to bully.
Tao Youwei sees Zheng Nianer as a soft target!
Thinking of all this, Zheng Nianer felt a surge of anger rise in her chest.
However, the thing that shocked and angered Zheng Nianer even more was yet to come—
Tao Yong is a Great General, he has his own mansion and many fierce generals and soldiers under him.
Tao Yong greatly loved Tao Youwei, and when discussing military affairs or practicing at the training grounds, he often held his treasured daughter.
In a way, Tao Youwei grew up in the military camp.
She was influenced by watching soldiers fight and curse.
So, even though her birth mother was an aristocratic daughter, she could act like a lady when necessary.
But once provoked, she could be fiercer and more venomous than a market shrew.
She was well-versed in "Zu’an culture," able to curse someone continuously for three days and nights without repeating.
Apart from cursing, Tao Youwei also mastered the essence of a military general—subduing with force!
Just cursing wasn’t enough!
She needed to beat someone until they begged for mercy, only then was it satisfying.
So, having finished cursing, Tao Youwei still didn’t feel appeased and directly pulled from her waist a silver soft whip.
Her wrist moved nimbly, and the soft whip, made from unknown material, snapped crisply in the air.
"Not good!"
Zheng Nianer sensed danger and instinctively tried to dodge.
But Tao Youwei was a General’s daughter, her skill with the soft whip was already Superb Artistic Achievement.
Her movements were far faster than Zheng Nianer’s reaction!
Crack!
A crisp sound of the whip striking.
"Ah!"
Zheng Nianer instinctively let out a cry of pain.
In fact, it was already fortunate amid misfortune.
If the "Palace Fighting System" hadn’t intervened, the whip wouldn’t have hit her arm but her pretty little face.
"Good for nothing slave, you still dare dodge?"
Tao Youwei was slightly enraged and embarrassed seeing she hadn’t managed to whip the face she hated so much.
She originally intended to whip once, she was indeed pampered but not brainless—
Lady Hu and the Zheng Family were indeed humble, but they had Emperor Yongcheng behind them.
And Tao Youwei was soon to become Empress.
If possible, Tao Youwei didn’t want to have a falling out with her husband over a few humble slaves.
