"Outrageous!"
"Kneel!!"
Lady Hu seemed to hear the words "Old Witch" from her daughter's mouth for the first time, a mix of surprise and uncontrollable anger.
She disregarded any mother-daughter relationship, rebuking loudly.
Zheng Nianer was frightened, almost unable to react, instinctively plopping down on her knees.
Bang!
In the quiet side hall, there was a teeth-clenching sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Zheng Nianer was in so much pain that her eyes welled up with tears, her small body trembling lightly.
Lady Hu seemed to ignore her daughter's pitiful appearance, continuing her icy cold reprimand: "Zheng Nianer, how dare you disrespect the Empress Dowager?"
"Is this how I usually teach you? Even if the Empress Dowager is somewhat strict, she is the Empress Dowager of the Dayuan Dynasty, the Mother of the Emperor!"
The last sentence was the focus of Lady Hu's outburst.
