The Stunning Mad Empress: The Useless Third Miss - Chapter 2

Xiao Qingxue was caught off guard by Xiao Qingcheng’s “sudden attack.”

Looking down, she saw her skirt was covered in black handprints.

Her beautiful face twisted in an instant, and she roared in anger, “Xiao Qingcheng, are you looking for death?”

Xiao Qingcheng flipped over with the momentum, raised her hands above her head, holding the hem of Xiao Qingxue’s skirt, and began to spin 180 degrees.

“Wow, murder! Murder! Murder!”

The miserable screams, as expected, attracted the attention of a group of people in the distance.

“The Young Master Nan Gong has arrived!”

A shout made Xiao Qingxue immediately suppress the malice and distortion on her face.

Xiao Qingcheng subconsciously looked back:

A young man, surrounded like a star among stars, was coming. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Dressed in a dark green flowing cloud brocade robe, the robe outlined the man’s tall and imposing figure.

With sharp eyebrows, piercing black eyes, and a handsome face with distinct features.

His formidable aura was as dazzling as a brilliant spark in the envious eyes of the crowd.

Seeing the newcomer, Xiao Qingxue immediately rushed over with a smiling face: “Yu, you’re here!”

“Yep, I’m here, Qingxue!”

Xiao Qingcheng, holding a piece of white chiffon she had torn off, sneered coldly in a place where no one could see.

The man who was gentle and indulgent to Xiao Qingxue at this moment was the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom, who dominated one side of the Phoenix Singing Continent, and also Xiao Qingcheng’s fiancé who was betrothed in the cradle.

Since the Southern Kingdom was established and ruled by the Nan Gong family, the young master of the Nan Gong family was the next emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

Such an excellent and outstanding man was actually intercepted halfway by Xiao Qingxue, the most sinister and poisonous concubine daughter of the Xiao family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingcheng’s sneer became more mocking.

At this moment, she felt that this Young Master Nan Gong was also a scoundrel with a golden exterior and a cottony interior.

“Yu, this good-for-nothing actually made it to the shore. It’s my fault, I don’t have the fortune to marry you.”

At this moment, Xiao Qingxue, holding Nan Gong Yu, pouted, her eyes filled with tears, a look that seemed to be crying but not quite, which would make any man feel pity.

“Be good, Qingxue, don’t think like that. The young master’s wife of the Nan Gong family can only be you.”

Nan Gong Yu, with his eyes slightly narrowed, finally glanced at Xiao Qingcheng after speaking:

“Xiao Qingcheng, even if you didn’t drown yourself in the lake, I, the young master, wouldn’t marry you. The Southern Kingdom is one of the top two strong countries on the Phoenix Singing Continent. The future queen of the Southern Kingdom can’t be an extremely ugly fool.”

Hearing this, Xiao Qingcheng couldn’t help but snort in her heart.

If Nan Gong Yu really didn’t want to marry her, he didn’t have to embarrass her in front of so many people.

Who doesn’t know that the third miss of the Xiao family is pitiful and foolish? This betrothal agreement is nothing to Nan Gong Yu, but it is a lifeline for the foolish third miss of the Xiao family.

“Alas, this fool is really pitiful. Even if she unexpectedly won the bet, so what? Now that the Young Master Nan Gong has come to break off the engagement in person, it’s likely that even if the Xiao family’s third fool goes back to the Xiao residence, she will end up being beaten to death.”

“Who would say otherwise? Such an excellent, handsome, and top-tier Young Master Nan Gong on the Phoenix Singing Continent, how could he stoop to marry a fool?”

“That’s right. If I were in his shoes, I would also marry the smart, beautiful, and talented eldest miss of the Xiao family.”

…

Among the crowd, some people couldn’t bear to see this. These comments were inevitably heard by Xiao Qingcheng.

“Wow! Beautiful clothes! So beautiful!” Xiao Qingcheng’s eyes gleamed with a cold light, and her dirty hands directly reached towards Nan Gong Yu, who was several meters away.

Nan Gong Yu, with his eyes slightly narrowed, held Xiao Qingxue with one hand and used his internal energy to knock Xiao Qingcheng, who was rushing over, away with the other hand.

Xiao Qingcheng, who had anticipated that Nan Gong Yu would not be lenient towards her, suddenly squatted down when she was only one meter away from Nan Gong Yu.

Then, with a pair of claws, she fiercely grabbed the corner of Nan Gong Yu’s robe, raised her head with an extremely uncoordinated face, and smiled foolishly at Nan Gong Yu.

Nan Gong Yu, suppressing the urge to vomit, darkened his face, and raised his leg to kick Xiao Qingcheng away: “Get lost!”

Xiao Qingcheng evaded Nan Gong Yu’s attack and fell onto Xiao Qingxue instead.

“Ah!”

In front of Nan Gong Yu, Xiao Qingxue dared not directly kill Xiao Qingcheng and could only let her smash down onto her chest.

“Qingxue!”

Nan Gong Yu turned around and tried to pull Xiao Qingxue.

However, one of Xiao Qingcheng’s feet, seemingly casually hooked, directly caused Nan Gong Yu to lose his balance.

In order not to fall down himself, Nan Gong Yu could only watch helplessly as Xiao Qingxue was smashed to the ground by Xiao Qingcheng.

“Xiao Qingcheng, you injured Qingxue by smashing her. You are maliciously hurting others. I, the young master, will spare your life because you are a fool. Get up now?”

Hearing the roar from behind, Xiao Qingcheng sneered in her heart.

You say whatever you want.

Why should I listen to you?

Since she was pretending to be a “fool” now, she had to act like one.

“Wow! So scared! So scared!”

Ignoring Nan Gong Yu behind her, Xiao Qingcheng raised her hand and started to scratch Xiao Qingxue’s body wildly.

With a pair of dirty claws, she tore Xiao Qingxue’s thin outer dress into pieces.

“Ah! Xiao Qingcheng, you wretch, get off me!”

Unable to bear it, Xiao Qingxue’s always feigned noble and indifferent demeanor completely broke down.

Not caring what Nan Gong Yu thought, Xiao Qingxue raised her hand to slap Xiao Qingcheng, who was lying on top of her.

At the same time, Nan Gong Yu, with a cold face, stepped forward and firmly grabbed Xiao Qingcheng’s shoulder, pretending to lift her up.

Xiao Qingcheng, with her back to Nan Gong Yu, grabbed Xiao Qingxue’s arm with both hands and easily deflected the slap Xiao Qingxue threw.

Then, no matter how Nan Gong Yu pulled, she just wouldn’t let go.

Nan Gong Yu, with his eyes slightly narrowed, felt that something was off about Xiao Qingcheng today.

“Someone, pull Miss Third away from me.”

Nan Gong Yu withdrew his hand, stretched his limbs, panted, and had several of his accompanying elite guards step forward.

At this moment, Xiao Qingcheng suddenly let go of Xiao Qingxue and screamed wildly: “Hahaha! The exposed skin is so white!”

Xiao Qingcheng’s scream unconsciously attracted the onlookers around.

Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the eldest miss of the Xiao family.

If it weren’t for Nan Gong Yu’s quick action of unfastening his cloak, Xiao Qingxue would have been completely exposed at that moment.

Nan Gong Yu roared in anger: “Haven’t you taken this good-for-nothing back yet? If anything happens to Qingxue, I will chop you all up, including this idiot!”

After being escorted back to the Xiao residence by the guards of the Nan Gong family, Xiao Qingcheng was, as expected, thrown into a dilapidated courtyard.

The moment the door was closed, all the disguises on Xiao Qingcheng’s face were removed.

Her eyes, gleaming with a cold light, were as intimidating as a flash of lightning in the cold night.
