Chapter 750: Chapter 750: We Must Stand Tall and Proud Today_1 Chapter 750: Chapter 750: We Must Stand Tall and Proud Today_1 “Even the sacred tree realizes you’re committed, yet you still play the field, Muya Jiushu. Don’t you think you’re despicable and lowly?” A woman in a purple waterproof skirt swam over, straightforward both in character and in her ability to insult without any sugarcoating.
Ye Xingguang squinted her eyes at the newcomer. Even after all these years, she recognized the young woman as Geshu Yuan, the pampered heiress of one of the six great families, the Geshu Family. Since her younger years, Geshu Yuan, with her illustrious background, and the Fifth Princess, who once sent Geshu Chen to assassinate her, often found excuses to bully her because she was a powerless heiress.
Back then, she felt powerless and vulnerable. To survive in the empire, she thought she should keep a low profile, avoid conflicts, and swallow all grievances. She didn’t want to be a fool who pitted an egg against a rock, so she suffered quite a bit from Geshu Yuan.
Who would’ve thought she’d bump into Geshu Yuan just a few days after returning to the empire?
Geshu Yuan is still the same, but she, Ye Xingguang, is not the same timid girl anymore.
Ye Xingguang chuckled derisively, “Are you just jealous because you can’t attract the empire’s young elites due to your lack of abilities, hence your resentment? Calm down, after all, it’s destined. How could you be envious of things ?”
“You, you…” Geshu Yuan was choked off by Ye Xingguang’s comeback and managed to sputter after a while, “Muya Jiushu! What are you so arrogant about?! You, a killer, you killed my beloved cousin and killed so many of our family members. How come you, a murderer, could return to the imperial city to inherit the throne?”
“You should ask your family’s third elder. He was the one who begged me to return. If you’re upset about it, save it. Plus, what’s your rank? Seeing me, and yet not saluting? Is this the manners taught in your Geshu family? Tsk, so much for a family with a millennial legacy!”
“Geshu Yuan, you are indeed too rude. Muya Jiushu is not a name you can call casually. You should bow respectfully and address her as ‘Your Majesty’. ” Another woman in red swam over and performed a perfect bow, showing Geshu Yuan how it was done before she introduced herself, “Your Majesty, welcome back to the country. I am Ying Min, and Ying Qiao is my elder brother.”
“Hmm, your Ying family is indeed a genuine millennia-old family. You fare much better in etiquette and manners than the Geshu family. Geshu Yuan, now that Ying Min has given you a standard demonstration, do you understand how to act?”
Ye Xingguang didn’t mind acting like a wicked queen who used her power to oppress others. There was a time when she remembered being pinned down by Geshu Yuan. Now asking Geshu Yuan to bow to her was utterly merciful. She felt compelled to praise herself!
In the capital, Geshu Yuan was used to having free rein, making others cater to her every whim. She never needed to consider anyone else’s feelings. The idea of her bowing to Ye Xingguang was unimaginable, unless the sun rose from the west. Especially considering the fact that Bai Yalan, whom Geshu Yuan had always secretly loved, was currently in Ye Xingguang’s company, adding insult to injury.
Steaming with anger, she addressed the four prominent young men of the empire who accompanied Ye Xingguang, “Have you all forgotten what she did to massacre the royal heirs? Were none of you affected—losing friends or relatives at her hands? Why are you fawning over her? Show some spine, let’s join forces and resist her ascension!”
