Chapter 428: Use Any Tricks

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As the two young heiresses prepared to depart, they found themselves halted by the Fifth Princess.

“May I inquire why both of you are in such a hurry to leave?” she inquired.

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but silently criticize the Fifth Princess for her curious behavior. Hadn’t she considered their previous conversation too noisy? While these two heiresses tactfully chose to withdraw, she now pretended to inquire about their departure.

The two young ladies, a bit frightened, one of them mustered the courage to respond. “We thought… we might be disturbing the Princess’s tranquility.”

The Fifth Princess immediately adopted a more serious expression.

“You might have misunderstood me.” “We’re all sharing the same boat, and there’s no need for you to leave!”

“Do you think I’m being unreasonable?”

The two heiresses grew even more apprehensive, frantically shaking their heads. “No, no, Fifth Princess. We’ve never thought that way…”

“We… we won’t leave.”

The Fifth Princess’s demeanor softened slightly.

“That’s more like it!”

“But your hasty retreat has disappointed me.”

“You both hail from prominent families in the capital. Why don’t you have more confidence in yourselves?”

“Do you feel inadequate to stay in my company?”

The two young ladies blushed in response to the reprimand.

“Enough, let’s cease the chatter. I have no time to waste on this,” the Fifth Princess declared.

“Despite your upbringing in the capital, you don’t possess the boldness of those who hail from the countryside.”

“Take a look at Mrs. Su and Miss Su, they remain unperturbed in my presence.” “Not a flicker of emotion.

The Fifth Princess’s words were clearly audible to everyone. She was, in fact, chastising Qin Zhenzhen and Su Ning for not adhering to proper etiquette.

When she had first arrived, she had not promptly bowed to the princess, and the Fifth Princess had just realized it. Qin Zhenzhen found it rather amusing that the Fifth Princess had finally become incensed.

Nonetheless, she wouldn’t be ensnared by the Fifth Princess’s provocations. She had never shown fear in the presence of the Emperor or the Empress Dowager; what chance did this immature Fifth Princess stand?

Qin Zhenzhen responded calmly, “Fifth Princess, you were correct earlier.

Given that we share this boat, there’s no reason for us to disrupt one another.” “And thus, my younger sister and I have no intention of leaving this spot.”

“I had indeed planned to extend my greetings to you. However, you were engaged in conversation with the two young ladies, so I refrained from intervening, as it would be impolite.”

The Fifth Princess couldn’t fault Qin Zhenzhen’s response and harbored no intentions of making things difficult for her. The real performance was yet to come!

“Remarkable indeed, the wife of the new Primus. So articulate and confident, far surpassing these young ladies,” the Fifth Princess commented.

Still, Qin Zhenzhen maintained her composure. “You are too kind, Fifth Princess.”

Ha, she was ready. If you have any schemes, go ahead and use them.

The group of young ladies who had been flattering the Fifth Princess followed her to the stern to savor the scenery. They took turns offering praise and compliments for the Fifth Princess.

Qin Zhenzhen experienced an unpleasant shiver down her spine. She could no longer tolerate the sycophantic chatter.

She held Su Ning’s hand and announced, “Fifth Princess, Sixth Princess, and ladies, my sister and I wish to explore the other side of the cruise ship to admire the scenery. We shall take our leave.”

In response, the Fifth Princess proposed, “Mrs. Su, I actually have a matter to discuss with you. Why don’t we go there together? It’ll be more peaceful.”

Qin Zhenzhen agreed, “Certainly.”

Regardless of what schemes the Fifth Princess might have in mind, Qin Zhenzhen was resolute in preventing her success. In this setting, aboard the cruise ship, with numerous young ladies present, the Fifth Princess wouldn’t dare to openly harm her..
