After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 184 - 183: Come on, nobody be reasonable!

Yongping was standing firm, yet was intimidated by Pei Zhan’s imposing presence, retreating half a step!

Pei Zhan’s posture remained unmoved, his words were as weighty as a thousand pounds: "I, Pei Zhan, don’t have many friends, but whoever they are, I won’t allow them to suffer the slightest injustice. My friend has neither provoked nor offended you, Princess Yongping. What is the meaning of your repeated accusations and targeting? Are you implying that a friend of Pei Zhan is inferior to one of your servants?"

When had Yongping ever seen such a situation?!

From childhood to adulthood, she was always above others, and no one ever dared speak to her like this in public.

Even if someone did, everyone would accommodate her, unwilling to talk to her in such a manner!

This Pei Zhan—

Yongping pressed her lips tightly together and stopped speaking, turning her gaze to Fu Zhen.

Throughout the argument with Pei Zhan, that girl surprisingly showed no fear!

She was resting her head with her fingers, calmly staring at Pei Zhan, with no trace of panic on her face.

She had such confidence!

Yongping always disliked such arrogant and conceited people.

But she turned out to be Pei Zhan’s person!

She took a deep breath, pressed her lips, and said, "General Pei, your words are unreasonable.

"Since she is a friend of the General, what is her background, and why do you always avoid speaking of it?

"The Emperor only allowed those from the General Mansion to not kneel upon meeting the royal family; who is she? If she is from one of the five General Mansions, why have I never seen her?

"If she is not, then she should state her name and kneel according to etiquette! If she followed the proper etiquette, how would this incident have occurred?

"Is it possible that my genuine intention to meet her ended up being construed as targeting her?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhen turned her head toward her and then looked at Pei Zhan.

Pei Zhan said, "The soup is cold, quickly eat your meal."

After speaking, he didn’t even glance at Yongping, wholeheartedly pouring tea and drinking it.

As if Yongping’s words were nothing but a fart.

When had Yongping ever been treated with such indifference?

She raised her voice, "General Pei, are you disregarding the imperial authority? Or are you becoming conceited because of a victory in battle, ignoring the royal family?"

Pei Zhan turned his head slightly, "Guo Song, see if there’s an official on the mountain today? Invite him over. Princess Yongping probably needs him to write a complaint against me, so she won’t be getting angry in vain once I’m gone with no one to witness for her."

Guo Song glanced at Yongping and respectfully agreed, bowing slightly.

In the distance, Mrs. Zhang and Xu Yin were observing coldly.

Xu Yin’s attention was focused on Fu Zhen. Surprisingly, this young girl was exceptionally calm and composed; no matter how much Yongping flaunted her authority, she never directly responded, causing Yongping’s attempts to hit their mark to be like hitting cotton.

A young girl like this almost never possessed such stable and mature mental capacity, reminding Xu Yin of the scene last night.

At that time, she was equally composed, as if she had already experienced myriad storms in her life, as if she possessed the strength and courage to stand alone against challenges.

Clearly, it was she who wanted to teach Lady Hu a lesson earlier, demonstrating her displeasure at Lady Hu’s arrogance, yet she did not impulsively act herself, but called Guo Song to protect the master.

The benefit of doing so was that she didn’t act herself, avoiding Yongping grasping at her directly, forcing Yongping, upset, to find Pei Zhan instead.

To blame Fu Zhen was unreasonable, as she was logical and composed, neither acting directly. The person Guo Song hit had Pei Zhan’s approval.

Thus, the consequence has already emerged, and Yongping bumped into Pei Zhan’s muzzle directly!

How could Yongping, such a fool, ever contend with Pei Zhan?

The law indeed stipulates that commoners should kneel before the royal family, but it depends on the occasion!

Even the Empress and Crown Prince often waived the courtesies of officials, and during stable times in the previous dynasty, they often mingled with commoners in the civilian populace, while she, Yongping, just a mere Commandery Princess, flaunted her authority based on her royal kinship!

The key is, she doesn’t even think about who started this commotion!

She also doesn’t see whom she’s picking a fight against?!

This is Pei Zhan, who defended the Great Zhou against peril at the turning tide of the nation! fгeewebnovёl.com

And she’s accusing Pei Zhan of being conceited for his success?

Compared with a national hero, what is a Commandery Princess worth?!

Whether Fu Zhen kneels or not matters only to Yongping. Her failure to manage those under her properly, this superior act, would provoke the Empress striving diligently!

After finishing his tea, Xu Yin stood and walked over: "General Pei, calm your anger. My wife was disrespectful; please be generous and let it pass."

Afterward, he signaled to Yongping, "Commandery Princess, we were at fault first. Quickly apologize to General Pei."

"Apologize?" Yongping scoffed, "Clearly they hit my person. They didn’t follow the etiquette and now want me to apologize?!"

She had fully expected Xu Yin to come and back her up, unexpectedly he came and immediately suggested she apologize!

He dared to side with outsiders!

"It’s because Madam Hu was indeed disrespectful."

What annoyed Xu Yin most about her was this stubbornness, arrogance, and presumption. "Madam Hu is merely a servant; whence comes her right to directly address a General? General Pei was right in reminding us. We should immediately take Madam Hu back for proper discipline. Any further talk would be indecorous."

Toward the end of his speech, he slowed his voice and his gaze bore a warning.

Yongping bit her lower lip until blood was nearly drawn!

So many people were watching, with Mrs. Zhang also present!

She initially intended to show off to Mrs. Zhang, only to find herself trapped and unable to step down, forced by Xu Yin to bow her head in apology!

Suddenly, she turned and sarcastically laughed at Fu Zhen: "A mere rogue woman worthy of being protected by one minister after another—quite the capability!"

Seated on the bench, Fu Zhen frowned and lifted her face.

Recalling the repeated manipulations by Mrs. Liu and her daughter against her, it was only in the end that she took firm action. En route to capturing the accomplice guards that conspired with Fu Rou, she merely punished them severely without taking their lives, showing she was not a cold-hearted person.

Now seeing Yongping like this, she found herself utterly intolerant!

The account with Liang Ning was not yet settled, and now with Fu Zhen’s involvement?

Earlier, she summoned Guo Song to hit someone rather than do it herself, because she did not want to overdo it.

If she insists on this——

She looked at Pei Zhan: "She insulted me. Can I respond?"

Pei Zhan glanced at her: "As long as you’re not wearing yourself out."

"So I can respond however I wish?"

"Certainly." Pei Zhan’s demeanor grew serious. "If anything holds you back, then it’s I, Pei Zhan, who lacks the ability."

"Alright!" Fu Zhen’s face blossomed with a bright smile as she stood up, smoothing the table!

She turned to face Yongping: "Princess Yongping, I am a commoner. Though I am merely a commoner, not as noble as you, I have never provoked nor offended you, yet you call me a ’rogue woman.’ I ask, wherein lies my roguishness?"

Upon standing, her presence exuded an air of authority that unwittingly compelled Yongping to straighten her face: "In terms of status, I am nobler as a Commandery Princess; in terms of age, I am older; if I scold you, so what?!"

Fu Zhen sneered: "So, you’re being unreasonable! Since you’re being unreasonable, then don’t blame me for answering in kind!"

As her words ended, a slap crisply and swiftly landed on Yongping’s face!
