Ye Tangtang set down the pastry in her hand and said with a perfectly straight face, "I don't know anything about this either. Perhaps the tremors were caused by tectonic plates colliding."
"Grandmother, don't listen to her nonsense! What tectonic plates? It was clearly her! Something happened the moment she came to the Lu Family estate. Ye Tangtang might still have evidence of her crime on her!"
"Third Sister, what do you mean by that? Everything I said was true. An illiterate like you who's never learned basic geography obviously wouldn't understand what I meant. I can't be bothered to explain it to you."
Ye Tangtang sighed. Still, Ye Muxue's guess had been remarkably accurate. She had actually figured out it was her.
Of course, she would never admit it. Besides, there were no witnesses or physical evidence. Who could know she had done it?
Ye Tangtang continued humming a little tune in her head. This had been wonderfully satisfying-she had scared that old fox Lu into practically pissing and shitting himself. Hahahaha!
"You... Ye Tangtang, you've gone too far! You're a princess, but so am I! What gives you the right to speak to me like that? What do you know? What do you understand? You're nothing but a burden who crawled out of the Cold Palace, yet you dare speak to this princess that way!"
With her grandparents' home backing her, Ye Muxue grew even more brazen. Her words carried far more swagger than they did in the imperial palace.
