The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 814 - 398: Bai Mowan Picks a Fight and Gets Put in Her Place (Third Update)
An Ning stepped out of the room and her eyes noticeably cooled when she saw the woman who had barged into the courtyard.
She thought it was Xiao Jinxing.
But it turned out to be Bai Mowan.
She hadn’t seen Xiao Jinxing for so long, why would Bai Mowan leave Xiao Jinxing’s side to come to her?
She remained calm, walked over, stood in front of Bai Mowan, and without bowing, looked her in the eyes and asked, with an unfriendly tone, "I don’t know what business the lady has to intrude upon my residence?"
"How dare you, insolent commoner! In the presence of the Imperial Concubine, you should kneel and pay respect!" Mo Kun scolded angrily from the side.
An Ning looked at Bai Mowan.
Then, "The Imperial Concubine is in the Imperial Palace, why would she suddenly appear in Xuzhou City? You claim she is the Concubine, but do you have evidence?"
"You!" Mo Kun was rendered speechless by An Ning’s retort.
"Who else but I could appear beside His Majesty?!" Bai Mowan said coldly, exuding authority.
So.
Is this the kind of arrogant woman Xiao Jinxing likes?!
Quite similar to Ye Qichi from back then.
"Then why is the Imperial Concubine not at His Majesty’s side at this moment?" An Ning countered.
Bai Mowan’s face turned dark.
Was this woman mocking her?
She was already displeased today after being left behind by Xiao Jinxing.
And now deliberately coming to ridicule her. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"A lowly commoner’s identity means she has never seen the Imperial Concubine, so if you are indeed the Concubine, I apologize for my offense." An Ning feigned a bow, her tone carrying a hint of distrust in Bai Mowan’s identity, naturally not wanting to show too much respect.
Deep down, she really didn’t want to bow to Bai Mowan.
After all.
Bai Mowan was, after all, the ’culprit’ behind her demise back then.
"I have no need to prove my identity to a mere commoner; you are unworthy." Bai Mowan said arrogantly, "I came to see you personally today because I have something to discuss with you."
An Ning looked at her, appearing very composed.
"His Majesty is on a discreet inspection in Xuzhou with significant matters at hand, not looking for dalliances, so do not shamelessly engage in lowly acts." Bai Mowan said with undisguised disdain.
An Ning chuckled lightly but didn’t respond immediately.
Bai Mowan continued, "I have inquired about the kind of person you are! As a widow who doesn’t follow the proper conduct, often visiting Qingfeng Building, a place of corruption and decadence. For such an unclean woman as yourself, do you think you have the right to seduce His Majesty? I came to warn you: If you have any intentions of clinging to His Majesty again, don’t blame me for being merciless!"
An Ning listened to Bai Mowan’s threat.
How strong must this possessiveness be for Bai Mowan to make such a fuss over any random woman.
As the Imperial Concubine, her perspective was indeed narrow.
She said indifferently, "Since the Concubine has spoken so poorly of the commoner, why should you worry about His Majesty taking interest? Unless His Majesty has an eye affliction? Or is it that the Concubine is even less than a commoner?!"
"How dare you, insolent commoner!" Bai Mowan’s fury was overwhelming.
To be ridiculed by this woman.
An Ning never intended to accommodate Bai Mowan.
All she did in the past to her, including what she did for Xiao Jinxing, was for plot necessity, fulfilling the book’s mission.
Now, to her.
The story is concluded.
She should have her own life.
No need for any more concerns for the male and female leads.
So she remained unmoved by Bai Mowan’s anger and said again, "Seeing such a demeanor, the commoner truly doesn’t believe you are the Imperial Concubine. Rumor has it that the Concubine is kindhearted, magnanimous, serving the nation and its people, and once a brave Great General, an outstanding heroine. Why would such a person purposely come to trouble a mere commoner?"
Purposely mocking her pettiness.
Preventing her from recklessly confronting her.
At least within the public, Bai Mowan’s reputation was impeccable.
Not enough to ruin her own image.
"In the commoner’s eyes, the Concubine might just be a palace maid. Pretending to be the Concubine, taking advantage of the emperor being far away to indulge in pretending to enjoy the Concubine’s privileges?" An Ning looked Bai Mowan in the eyes, filled with mockery.
Bai Mowan was livid.
The words spoken by this woman left her speechless and unable to refute.
If she claimed herself as the Imperial Concubine, An Ning would grab this as leverage saying she wasn’t kind enough.
If she didn’t admit her identity, how could she allow such bullying and swallow her pride!
She hadn’t expected that there still existed in the civilian sector such glib-tongued rogues!
"If there’s nothing else, this commoner won’t accompany the Concubine any longer. Farewell, Concubine." An Ning deliberately emphasized the word "Concubine," turning to instruct the servants, "See the guest off!"
The servant promptly obeyed, "This way, Madam, please."
Bai Mowan held back her anger.
To be dismissed just like that!
She originally came to intimidate the woman but was ridiculed instead.
Bai Mowan gritted her teeth, thinking she might have been overthinking.
No matter how bad Xiao Jinxing was, he wouldn’t choose such an unclean woman.
Understanding this, she planned to swallow her anger and leave, too proud to argue with a commoner!
But upon seeing the woman’s back, she suddenly paused.
In that moment, she understood why Xiao Jinxing treated her differently.
Her back was exactly like Ye Qichi’s.
Bai Mowan’s face turned pale.
No.
She saw Ye Qichi jump off such a high wall, she couldn’t possibly be alive.
Right!
This person in front wasn’t Ye Qichi!
They looked different!
But.
Even knowing this, Xiao Jinxing would likely consider her a substitute.
She would never allow any woman besides herself to appear next to Xiao Jinxing.
Even if Xiao Jinxing indulged in his harem, she must always be the first, and his entire heart must be solely hers!
Her eyes tightened.
Undisguised cruelty in her eyes.
"Mo Kun, this brazen commoner dared to insult me, the Imperial Concubine, a grave crime, kill her immediately!" Bai Mowan directly commanded.
Mo Kun, a guard placed in the palace by the Bai Family, naturally would obey her orders.
An Ning originally thought she had sent off Bai Mowan.
But unexpectedly, this woman flipped her attitude suddenly.
Upon hearing the order, she leaped to dodge Mo Kun’s deadly sword.
Next moment.
All the servants in the residence came out to protect An Ning.
Yet those accompanying Bai Mowan were surely not only Mo Kun.
A group of guards behind her joined the combat.
An Ning gritted her teeth, clearly no match.
Having sustained injuries from Xiao Jinxing’s men last time, many of the house servants hadn’t recovered.
If this continues...
Her eyes tightened.
To catch the leader, target the ringleader; she seized the chance while Mo Kun was occupied by the servants and decisively moved closer to Bai Mowan.
Bai Mowan sneered.
Having practiced martial arts since childhood, was she afraid of a mere common woman?!
