Chapter 245: 144 Surgery (First Revision)

Du Xiaoyun was getting beaten till she was yelping and running all over the room, “Look at you, so rough! Are you even like a queen? The crown princess never acts like you! Why don’t you learn from her!”

“You little wretch, you’ve defied the heavens!”

The third prince consort, in her fury, tossed aside her ruler, took off her shoe, and started slapping her own sister with it!

Her most despised person in this lifetime was the crown princess, without a doubt!

Truthfully, in terms of family background, the third prince consort was more prestigious than the crown princess.

The mother of the third prince consort was the legitimate daughter of the Duke Residence.

Among the four major families in Capital City, the Marquis Residence ranks first, followed by the Duke Residence. The power of the crown princess’s mother’s family wasn’t strong. The reason why she’s in her current position is due to her own talent.

The third prince consort and the crown princess are the same age. From childhood, they both served as study companions for the princesses, and they have been compared to each other since they were kids.

The crown princess always surpassed her in every aspect. Not only was she smarter, prettier, but she was also more liked by the princes and princesses.

The only thing in which the third prince consort could claim victory was her zither skills. However, even this little advantage was lost to the crown princess after she demonstrated her skills with the real Fo Xi zither.

So, how could the third prince consort not be jealous of her?

However, the third prince consort was engaged to the royal family while the woman who kept stealing her light was only engaged to a young marquis.

Huh, that childhood sweetheart of hers was even three years younger than her!

Actually, the reputation of the young Marquis of Zhaodu in Capital City was bigger than the third prince. But no matter how big he was, he was still a subject while the third prince was a ruler. This was a wonderful balance in the heart of the third prince consort.

Unfortunately, not long after, the young marquis died in a big fire.

She had lost her fiancé even before they were married. The third prince consort was waiting to see the joke of her rival’s life. But who would have known that after the mourning period, she would marry the current crown prince and successfully became her own sister-in-law!

The crown princess was the future queen, and she was just a consort who would be sent to a fiefdom in the future. What’s more tragic is that she had to pay respects to her rival!

This was what people in Capital City said.

“The crown princess has always been better than the third prince consort since they were kids. It’s no wonder her marriage prospect surpassed hers.”

Everyone in Capital City adored the crown princess. As long as she existed, nobody would notice the third prince consort.

She did not care for others, but she still had some say over her own sister.

After beating her sister, the third prince consort was not yet satisfied. She fiercely laid down a threat, “If you dare to go to the women’s school, I will break your legs!”

Du Xiaoyun has the same stubborn temper as the third prince consort, “Hit me! If you have the guts, do it now! Break them and I’ll crawl over there!”

“You…” burst out the third prince consort in anger, throwing her shoes away and grabbing a nearby broom.

Seeing that her younger daughter was about to be beaten to death by her older daughter, lady Du quickly tried to make peace, “Alright, alright. Both of you talk less. It’s just about going to school isn’t it? Let her go. You know how much she loves studying since she was little!”

The third prince consort said furiously, “Does she love studying? She’s only doing it to curry favor with the crown princess!”

Du Xiaoyun stared at her messy bun and said, her face full of bruises, “Right! I do want to curry favor with her! Who asked her to be so excellent? She’s superior in every aspect – music, chess, literature, and painting – she outshines you by miles!”

This attitude is only possible because the third prince consort kept a good relationship with her mother’s home, and never showed off her status here. Otherwise, given Du Xiaoyun’s disrespect to her, she would’ve been dragged out and killed a hundred times already!

“Shut your mouth!” lady Du sternly scolded her younger daughter a few times.

But everyone knew clearly that if she got the invitation, she would never give up going to the women’s school so easily.

The third prince consort was pissed off, with a dark face, she got into the carriage back to the prince Palace.

The prince Palace was on Vermilion Bird Avenue, quite far from here. The trip back was enough to upset her, making the carriage feel even more jittery than usual.

“That damn girl, pisses me off… Really pisses me off… Isn’t there anyone better than the crown princess in the world? I am her biological sister… Look at how she’s betraying her own family…”

While cursing, the third prince consort felt a stabbing pain in her stomach.

The two attendant ladies sat quietly on either side of her, not daring to even breathe out loud.

“Why aren’t any of you saying anything!” The third prince consort said, frowning.

The two of them shivered and looked at each other. Lady Xu finally said, “But… Prince Consort, are you sure it’s okay to beat Fifth Miss like that? After all, she is your own sister… If this gets out…”
