LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 462 Together They Are Formidable

"The result is announced"

A Palace maid announced to the side hall and with great expectations, all the girls walked out.

Xing took a glance at Miss Lei who had a slight smile in her lips, and she looked at Xing from the corner of her eyes and Xing who noticed it smiled to herself realising how quickly her mood changes.

Xing had prompted for an investigation on official Lei, but in case Miss Lei had won, she'd be entering the Jin Manor and no one would dare to investigate official Lei anymore.

Miss Lei tried to cut Xing and her maids to walk in the front but Xiao Mei slightly nudged her. Xiao Mei was always curvy and after she gave birth she had become a little more plumpy. Xing always found her adorable and cute and she always becomes a mother bear when it comes to Xing.

Unable to withstand the hit, Miss Lei lost her balance and as she fell, grabbed on the table toppling it and the tea and snacks on the table fell on Miss Lei making her dirty and wet.

Miss Lei raised her hand to slap Xiao Mei but was stopped by the Palace maids. No one wants to offend the Princess Consort or anyone related to her.

"How stupid of you to count the chickens before it hatches", Xing paused her steps and sneered at Miss Lei before she left the side hall.

Miss Lei looked for her friends but everyone walked past her without even trying to get her up.

The Palace maids, neutral as they are, asked Miss Lei to wait until they bring a change of clothes but she slapped the maid who politely asked her to wait and stomped out angering the Head maid.

The Palace had it's own rules. Maids aren't treated that well inside the Palace and their well-being totally depended on the person they serve. But a maid in the Palace certainly has more importance than the fourth daughter of a fourth rank official who is being investigated for possible treason.

As Xing went out there has already been a big commotion. The Emperor and the Consort had long left making all those left, behaving in an uncouth manner. Her father's loud declaration rang in the hall,

"She is my daughter... My blood. Of course I will destroy anyone who talks against her!"

Xing could understand by the mood there that her order to investigate official Lei wasn't accepted by the other officials.

"Father, calm down",Xing walked straight to her father and spoke to him to calm him down. Her father looked so mad as if he was going to spit blood.

"Since when did your G.o.d-daughter become your own blood?", one of the officials asked.

And Xing knew she couldn't keep her secret anymore. Her father's been asking for a long time to tell the public that she is his blood daughter and she felt like maybe it is time to reveal the truth.

" Huang AoTian is my birth father. In fact Huang Mingxia and I are twins...", Xing spun her own story she already made Chenglei believe and everyone perplexed as they were, oddly believed her.

"I hated my father thinking he abandoned me while raising my sister in luxury and that's why I held back from revealing the truth. But now, after getting to know him, I really believe my father didn't know if my existence. And Iovey father", she spoke emotionally to make everyone believe and she could see Seiren standing being her father rolling his eyes.

And so, her father got his wish granted that day and was all smiles.

Xing looked around and not finding Mo Chen around, realised that was the source of all these drama. If Mo Chen was here, no one would dare to even breathe an extra breath. Even the Emperor or anyone else didn't have that much influence in keeping the integrity of the place other than Mo Chen.

"So, who won, dear?", she looked at Chenglei. Her man was standing handsomely and with one child in his arms and another one holding his hand, he looked fatherly that added more allure to his usual cold countenance.

Admiring his wife who handles everything perfectly, Chenglei smiled gracefully pointing his finger at her.

"Who else, my love?", his tone was so gentle like a feather touching silk and gently sliding along.

Xing, although expected this result, wanted to scream and jump up and down and run to him, hug and kiss Chenglei silly, but she really cannot act like a child since she was the Princess Consort and her t.i.tle had certain decorum to it and she has to abide by it and so on and so forth. She had no other way than to act. She can be however she wants in her home but here she needs to be who she is supposed to be.

So she did the perfect alternative as any cultured lady would do. With her mouth closed with her hands and her eyes filled with tears, she stood frozen for a minute. After that with the grace of a swan, she walked towards Chenglei.

"Was I really better than everyone else?", she asked and he let go of little Xinxin's hand, pa.s.sed Lian Lian to Lin Mubai by his side and held out his hand to her.

"Indeed, my beloved", his softened appearance was like a honey dripping honeycomb. Xing saw the sweet honey dripping from his voice and others saw the dangerous honeybees buzzing around as his lips forming to a thin line when he glanced over others.

Xing got to Chenglei and his hands held her hands.

"So you did hurt your hand", his hold in her hand was gentle but his tone was cold and sharp as he glared at the rest, " I WILL REMEMBER THIS!"

"It's fine. It's nothing", Xing shrugged it off.

"And I too will remember the girls I beat, my Prince", she said with a sweet smile and that smile was equally as intimidating as the cold glare of Prince Jin.

What a couple! Who'd want to mess with them?

Most of the officials felt their knees weak by the obvious threat of Prince Jin and his Consort. They immediately collected their girls and urged to leave the place. They knew if their family has to survive one more single day in the city, they must marry their daughters immediately to any man and show Prince Jin that they are not threatening his wife.

"Come here", Chenglei held her hand and checked the small bruises in her hand.

"I'm fine, hubby. Don't fret", Xing stood closer to him and looked up at Chenglei and their eyes met.

A handsome man looking at his equally pretty wife looking at him with adoration in her eyes.

A picturesque sight! One that would be painted to be remembered for eons!

Chenglei looked at her with her beautiful eyes focused entirely on him and he had the urge to kiss her. His wife didn't like him acting lovey dovey in public but he really couldn't hold back. He was pretty anxious the entire day. But now it all ended well and he wanted to kiss her.

His one arm wrapped around her waist and another around her neck. Her eyes were gentle and inviting but he felt her hand sliding inside his sleeves grabbing the dagger as her eyes getting darker and immediately he realised the danger too and his hand immediately went to draw his sword.

While everyone was looking at the divine coupe so full of love, forgetting to even blink, Miss Lei, filled with envy, had gotten hold of Little Xinxin standing by the side and the sharp end of her hairpin was placed on his neck. The poor little boy was too scared to scream but Xing had the mother's instinct and felt his fear and immediately reacted.

*Whoosh *

The dagger Xing got from Chenglei whooshed through the air and landed on Miss Lei's hand. She dropped the hairpin in her hand but before the hairpin fell down on the ground, Chenglei's swift movement of the sword had cut her neck.

The entire place was silent by the sudden movement of royal blue silk and no one could guess what was going on since both of them had reacted that fast.

*Tink *

The tip of the hairpin fell on the floor first and blood gus.h.i.+ng from Miss Lei splashed on the hairpin m.u.f.fling the succeeding noise of the hairpin dropping on the ground.

"Come to mother, Xinxin", Xing squatted on the floor, holding her hand out and called the little boy who wasn't even three yet and without looking at the dead woman slumping on the floor, he ran towards his mother.

Only seeing the boy running towards his mother in tears and the dead woman on the floor with a sharp hairpin by her side, did everyone realise what had gone wrong.

There were sounds of swords drawn and the entire place was filled with tension. But it was obvious that girl had tried to kill the son of Prince Jin.

Xing hugged Little Xinxin who was trembling in Xing's embrace. He was suddenly yanked from his father's side and that woman scared him with a hairpin. Lian Lian could sense the tension and started to cry and Chenglei got him from Lin Mubai pa.s.sing his sword to him. Only after getting to his father, did he feel safe and stopped crying.

"Clean the place up", Seiren ordered his family guards. Such a happy moment was ruined by the envy of a woman!

Seiren got angry.

"Is this enough show for you?", he sneered at the officials standing pereplexed.

"So, did you see how both of them are Formidable together? Did you forget the Consort is 'Lord Tang'? You think she has the need to partic.i.p.ate in such cheap compet.i.tion? Since you all have so much time in your hands in these times of war for silly compet.i.tions where you try to kill little kids, you will certainly enjoy waiting for your sons to get drafted too. MY ZHONG ARMY WILL NOT PARTIc.i.p.aTE IN THE WAR! FIGHT YOUR OWN WAR ", he shook his sleeve and left with long strides.

Although Seiren looked like his mother, he had the deep commanding voice of his father, the Great General that instilled fear in the hearts of everyone.

While Seiren was speaking his mind, Chenglei's people surrounded the family and they all left the hall for their Manor.

AoTian joined his daughters family not before smiling at the officials along with his son, and they all knew what happens after AoTian smiles.

Destruction!

With the battle already at their doorstep, everyone got scared by the refusal of the Zhong family to partic.i.p.ate in the war.

Not to mention, AoTian won't let anyone live in peace.

Everyone who just wanted their daughters to have a good life in the Prince Jins Manor felt like they had done a terrible blunder. Now they have angered every person supporting the kingdom and they are doomed to perish.

What could they do? They cannot fight the war! Their sons cannot die! They definitely cannot fight Huang AoTian and Huang family and win!

Who would have thought the Prince and his Consort had this much support!

Panic and grief filled their heart as they left to their respective homes.
