The Stunning Mad Empress: The Useless Third Miss-Chapter 51 - The True Miss Xiao San

Xiao Qingcheng pursed her lips, carefully tucking the divorce letter back into her sleeve before tossing the seal back. “Matriarch Nan Gong, I merely took what was rightfully mine. I saved your life, so you should reciprocate this favor. Let me advise you—don’t be too greedy, or you’ll end up with nothing in the end!”

Fu Yingsi, observing Xiao Qingcheng’s carefree demeanor, suddenly reached out and grasped the mask on Xiao Qingcheng’s face. With a thin-lipped smile and a flash of ferocity in her eyes, she said, “Miss Qingcheng, you are the true Miss Xiao San, aren’t you?”

Her tone carried three parts certainty and four parts suspicion. Everyone around held their breath, their eyes wide as they watched the standoff between the two women.

Xiao Qingcheng calmly met Fu Yingsi’s doubtful gaze. She had anticipated this and wasn’t about to let Fu Yingsi expose her so easily in public.

“Oh? Then Matriarch Nan Gong should try to take it off. Offending me is a minor issue. If your life is at stake later, don’t blame others.”

Hearing the threat in Xiao Qingcheng’s voice, Fu Yingsi felt even more certain. An outsider had no reason to go to such lengths for a fool!

If all these illogical events had happened, there was only one possibility—the fool wasn’t a fool, and the so-called Miss Qingcheng was indeed Miss Xiao San!

Fu Yingsi’s lips curled into a smile, her shrewd eyes tinged with coldness. “Miss Xiao San has quite the scheme. Just because there are many fools here doesn’t mean… I, Fu Yingsi, am easily deceived!”

With that, the mask was removed.

Gasps of astonishment echoed around the room.

No words could truly capture the beauty of Xiao Qingcheng’s face. Her lips were bright red, her teeth pearly white. Her skin was as smooth as white cream, her eyes like the Milky Way. Her nose was straight and delicate, and her features were exquisitely refined. Coupled with her mischievous expression, a hint of a smirk, and an air of dominance, she truly made the sun and moon pale in comparison.

With a clang, the maid who had brought in the towel and hot water dropped everything in her hands, startled by Xiao Qingcheng’s true appearance. Among the onlookers, the women were consumed by jealousy, while the men were captivated by admiration. Only in Fu Yingsi’s eyes was there a mix of jealousy and a hint of fear.

Xiao Qingcheng, who had been observing closely, naturally didn’t miss the strange look in Fu Yingsi’s eyes.

“Master, this old witch is problematic,” Little Pearl whispered.

“Hmm, I know. I suspect… my mother’s situation is also related to her.”

Who else could look at this face and think of something else but her mother, who bore a resemblance to her?

Regaining her composure, Xiao Qingcheng stood up, took the mask from Fu Yingsi’s hand, and put it back on her face. Once the brilliance was concealed, everyone else snapped back to reality.

“No wonder Miss Qingcheng always wears a mask; she possesses an unparalleled beauty!”

“Yes! Yes! I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl. She truly looks like a celestial being!”

“How could someone like her be that ugly Miss Xiao San? Even the usually astute Matriarch Nan Gong has miscalculated!”

…

The murmurs of the servants all reached Xiao Qingcheng’s ears.

“Ahem, are you satisfied now?” Fu Yingsi frowned, her expression dark. “Is there any connection between Miss Xiao San’s mother and you, young lady?”

Xiao Qingcheng sneered coldly and deliberately gave an ambiguous answer: “Miss Xiao Qingqing has asked the same question. Why don’t you ask her how I responded at that time?”

This counter-question left Fu Yingsi unable to continue her inquiry.

Nan Gong Yu, suppressing his desire, coughed awkwardly: “Ahem, Mother, you’ve just recovered. Don’t trouble yourself with these trivial matters.”

Xiao Qingcheng also nodded in agreement: “Yes, indeed. Next, it’s time for me to clear Miss Xiao San’s name.”

Fu Yingsi, who had never suffered a loss before, had just taken a significant blow from Xiao Qingcheng. Therefore, she chose to remain silent and observe, waiting to find a flaw in Xiao Qingcheng to strike a fatal blow.

Ignoring Fu Yingsi’s scheming thoughts, Xiao Qingcheng turned to look at the kneeling Xiao Cui, whose face was as pale as paper: “Oh! Your face is so swollen. Tsk, tsk, it looks like you’re going to be disfigured.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui immediately crawled to Xiao Qingcheng’s feet, clutching her leg and crying: “Miss Qingcheng, Miss Qingcheng, you have such excellent medical skills and must have a compassionate heart. Please help me detoxify! Help me detoxify!”

Xiao Qingcheng crossed her arms, looked down, and sneered coldly: “I thought Miss Xiao Qingqing, who twists facts, would take care of you! It turns out you’re just a discarded pawn!”

Hearing this, Xiao Cui instinctively glanced back at Xiao Qingqing, who was curled up in a distant chair. At this moment, the pain in Xiao Qingqing’s body had just subsided. She couldn’t even take care of herself, let alone care about the life or death of a maid.

“Servant, my situation has nothing to do with Miss Qingqing! It’s all because of Miss Xiao San, it’s all because of Miss Xiao San!”

Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment but still chose to side with Xiao Qingqing. After all, Miss Xiao San was just a waste and a fool. What could she gain by speaking up for her? Nothing at all!

Xiao Qingcheng, being so intelligent, how could she not see through what Xiao Cui was thinking? She squatted down with a cold smile, her eyes filled with sarcasm as she looked at Xiao Cui: “The backing of Miss Xiao San is me. To be more precise, all my resources will be shared with Miss Xiao San. Are you sure that after lying, your fate will be good?”

Seeing the murderous aura emanating from Xiao Qingcheng, Xiao Cui was terrified, with large tears streaming down her face.

“Miss Qingcheng, threats are not about clearing one’s name or revealing the truth! This is just you using your power to force a confession!”

Xiao Qingxue, unable to bear it, shouted from a distance.

Xiao Qingcheng glanced up and gave Xiao Qingxue a cold look: “Miss Xiao, what are you fussing about? Your turn will come soon!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxue’s heart sank, and she turned pale with fear.

Xiao Qingqing, deep in thought and with a gloomy expression, reluctantly sought help from Lin Fen. After receiving a reassuring look from Lin Fen, Xiao Qingqing calmed down.

“Miss Qingcheng, don’t force Xiao Cui. What she said is the truth!”

Xiao Qingcheng stood up, kicked the maid clinging to her leg aside, and said, “Then wait to die from gangrene all over your body. I’ve given you a chance and shown you mercy, but you chose not to take it.”

Then, turning to Xiao Qingxue, Xiao Qingcheng quickly took the handkerchief from her hand: “The poison powder on this handkerchief is the same as what Matriarch Nan Gong was poisoned with. At that time, only you and Nan Gong Yu had access to the snacks the matriarch ate. As the young master of the Nan Gong family, Nan Gong Yu had no reason or motive to harm the matriarch.”
