Chapter 1093: Chapter 1096 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Face Off (3)

By the side of the couch, Empress Dowager Mo’s hand clutched a broken piece of jade Ruyi, her body trembling uncontrollably with anger as she glared at her, her eyes blazing with an uncontrollable fire.

Behind the Empress Dowager, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs stood densely. Although they all bowed their heads, she believed that these people’s peripheral vision must have already stripped her bare.

Cai Wei was an extremely privacy-conscious modern person. Even as she and Nangong Yi were engaging in that act last night, she had specifically sent all the palace maids and eunuchs away. Even during her bath, she would never allow the palace maids to touch her, and now Empress Dowager Mo had not only broken into her sleeping chamber, smashing things, but had also brought a group of servants inside, publicly exposing her privacy.

Torn lingerie, a deep red headscarf, a bath towel used for wiping the body during the bath, were all carelessly discarded on the floor, along with her, the empress’s, dignity...

Empress Dowager Mo’s angry eyes were wide open as she stood in the center of the cluttered room, her trembling finger pointing at Cai Wei’s face, her mouth twitching with anger: "You, lacking virtue, impudent... you, licentious, shameless..."

At this moment, Cai Wei’s mind had completely cleared. She calmly looked at the intruder, hiding her naked body with the blanket with a cold smile, displaying neither embarrassment nor panic.

"Heh! Is this why the Empress Dowager has come to my palace so early in the morning, to tell me all this? Lacking virtue, impudent, licentious, shameless... hehe, quite a list of crimes indeed—enough to depose an empress!"

Empress Dowager Mo furiously said, "You think I don’t dare to depose you? Just you wait..."

Cai Wei let out a cold laugh, leisurely replied, "Then let’s talk when you can actually depose me!" That said, she raised her delicate jade hands and swiftly lowered the bed curtain, keeping Empress Dowager Mo and the rest outside as if they didn’t exist at all.

"You... You..."

Empress Dowager Mo was so angry she felt dizzy, nearly losing her balance but fortunately was caught by Chen Shangxi.

"Empress Dowager? Empress Dowager? Are you alright..."

The palace maids and eunuchs rushed over en masse, anxiously inquiring.

Empress Dowager Mo steadied herself, pushing away Chen Shangxi who was supporting her, and shouted at the curtain in anger: "What is this attitude? Who are you showing that face to? Even if this wasn’t the palace, even in a commoner’s home, no daughter-in-law would show such a face to her mother-in-law! Is this how your parents raised you?"

From behind the curtain. Cai Wei coldly replied, "Since I was young, my parents taught me not to offend others unless they offend me, to return respect with even greater respect. As you said, in the common folk’s homes, no daughter-in-law shows such a face to her mother-in-law, but neither is there a mother-in-law who humiliates her daughter-in-law in public!"

Empress Dowager Mo screamed, "Don’t you dare try to talk your way out of this! If you weren’t pampered and spoiled, frivolous and unruly, how could I ever humiliate you? As the empress, instead of advising the emperor to cherish his dragon body and exercise self-restraint, you seduce him, leading him into indulging with you all night long. With such behavior, how do you deserve to be the empress?"

Cai Wei scoffed, "Hah, I’d like to listen to how I was pampered and spoiled, frivolous and unruly when I was merely sleeping peacefully in my own house? As for what you call indulging all night long, that’s hardly for you to decide..."

The two of them were locked in a heated argument, line for line, when suddenly a figure clad in bright yellow rushed in and knelt down shakily beside the couch by Empress Dowager Mo.

"This son pays his respects to Imperial Mother!"

Seeing her son rush in so hastily, his breathing uneven, Empress Dowager Mo knew he had used light skill to come in a hurry and couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

She spoke with a cold voice, "Emperor, since your ’ear informing god’ has already told you about the matter between the empress and me, why don’t you tell us what should be done with her? She’s pampered and arrogant, disregarding palace rules, not attending the court celebration with the Noble ladies as she should, speaking out of turn and talking back to me. What should be done about this?"
