Diseased Prince and His Stupid Consort - C45
At first, she wanted to show her two concubines some respect, but when she saw the eight beautiful maidservants by their side, her heart began to beat erratically.
Compared to these concubines, the wangfei was a lot more destitute. Only a servant like her was by her side, her aura a lot weaker.
Zhao Xiaoxue and the wedding maiden walked through the crowd. When the people on both sides saw the lonely esteemed wangfei, they couldn’t help but look down on her. No wonder she was married to their sickly Prince, so it was because her family already loathed her.
The first reason they came to pay their respects so early in the morning was, of course, because this was a rule and they could not disobey it.
However, the second reason was naturally to see how generous the richest man in the Southern Chu Country would be. He might be able to point out some valuable gifts to them with a wave of his hand, but from the looks of it, he had failed.
“Two concubines, please …”
The wedding nanny wanted to call the two concubines over to take a seat, but before she could finish, the two concubines’ maidservants were already supporting their respective masters as they sat down.
However, in her current state, she didn’t know what to do. Of course, the most important reason was that she didn’t know how she should get along with the concubines of these princes.
Since everyone else had already sat down, Zhao Xiaoxue couldn’t possibly still be standing. Thus, she found a seat and sat down. She originally wanted to sit down but didn’t know what to say.
“Little sister Wangfei has just arrived at the manor and might not know much about the prince’s habits. The prince doesn’t like others disturbing him in the forest garden, if it weren’t for the special occasion today, even chenqie wouldn’t dare to enter the forest garden! If little sister wangfei has nothing else to say, chenqie will take her leave first! ”
Huo Caidie felt a bit uncomfortable these few days. She felt a bit uncomfortable sitting here, since she wouldn’t be able to get anything from the wangfei anyway, so she might as well leave as soon as possible.
“Yes!” Little Sister Cai Die is right. If Little Sister Wangfei has nothing else to say, then Chenqie will take her leave first! ”
At this time, Cao Mengying also started to speak. Hearing Cao Mengying’s agreement, Huo Caidie became even more daring. She didn’t even wait for the wangfei’s agreement before standing up and preparing to leave.
“You … “You guys …”
She rushed forward, wanting to stop these unruly concubines from leaving. With their status as concubines, they dared to act so arrogantly. If that happened in the future, wouldn’t that be bullying the matriarch?
“Humph!” What are you going to do? “The imperial concubine didn’t even say anything. You’re just a servant, yet you want to bully the lord?”
Being pointed at by an old lady’s nose, Huo Caidie was not angry at all. She stretched out a slender finger and pointed at it.
“You … Don’t forget, you’re just an aunt, and the wangfei is the head lady of this house! ”
It was only the first day, yet he was already at such a disadvantage. What could he do in the future?
“Heh heh, is the wangfei that great? To marry a prince who only has one year to live, what’s the point of that! ”
After saying this, Huo Caidie tidied up her clothes and waved her hand, “Go.”
“Let’s go!”
“You’re not allowed to leave!”
The Empress rushed up and grabbed his wrist, and her sudden action scared all the servants in the vicinity. As they saw their master suffering, all the pink-clothed maids rushed forward to save their master.
“Let go, you slave!”
Huo Caidie was struggling, but Xi Niang was so angry that her eyes were red. She only tightly held onto the other party and did not want to let go.
Some of the maids began to tug at the Empress’s arms, and some began to pull at her clothes. The Empress immediately fell into a sorry state, but Cao Mengying who stood by the side only stared coldly at this scene, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
Ah!
Her shrill cries reflected her current situation. Zhao Xiaoxue couldn’t continue to be a bystander, and even though she disapproved of her actions, it couldn’t be denied that she did it for her own sake.
“Stop! All of you, stop right now! ”
Zhao Xiaoxue’s voice was loud and full of power, but these ten people were unable to separate.
At this time, there was no way to get help from others, so Zhao Xiaoxue could only rush over herself and pull her servant girl as she shouted:
“Stop!”
“Stop!”
“…”
Although this kind of action was somewhat slow, it was still very effective. Under her tugging, all of the maids stopped their hands. Zhao Xiaoxue finally ran into the crowd and saw the wedding lady.
At this moment, the wedding nanny’s sleeve was torn and her hair was pulled all over the place. She looked like a mess, and her eyes were staring dumbly in front of her, as if she had received a great shock.
“Brothel, are you alright?”
Zhao Xiaoxue quickly stepped forward to support him.
“Esteemed wangfei, chenqie will take her leave first!”
Huo Caidie did not care about that old woman. Since she was not at a disadvantage, she did not wait for the wangfei’s reply and quickly left the teahouse with her maids.
After Huo Caidie left, Cao Mengying also left.
Not long after, there was only Zhao Xiaoxue and the wedding lady left in the large teahouse. It was a little desolate, to say the least.
“Brothel lady, are you alright? The matter is already over. At worst, we can just stop messing with them in the future!”
Towards these unruly aunts, Zhao Xiaoxue planned to use the principle of avoiding them. In any case, it would only be a year’s time, not in the same courtyard. It shouldn’t be a problem to avoid them.
“You don’t want to provoke him?” “Did you know that when I grabbed that aunt’s wrist, I discovered that she had a wedding vein? From her appearance, I’m afraid she’s already pregnant!”
Now that there were no outsiders around, the wedding nanny could no longer hold herself back. Just now, it was precisely because of this discovery that made her so timid. If she accidentally hurt the child in the aunt’s stomach, then her guilt would be extraordinary.
“Ah?” Was she pregnant? But the prince only has one year to live, and the child she gives birth to will soon be fatherless. Wouldn’t that be very pitiful? ”
Zhao Xiaoxue had been an orphan since she was young. She could deeply understand how pitiful orphans were.
“Pitiful? She’s not the one who’s pitiful. You’re the one who’s the most pitiful! ”
The wedding née didn’t need the support of the princess by her side as she began to straighten her robes, occasionally casting pitiful glances at the princess by her side.
“Why should I? I don’t have a child! ”
Zhao Xiaoxue really didn’t want to have a child, because she didn’t want to be with that prince at all. With his body having such problems, even if the two of them barely made it together, would the child he gave birth to really be healthy? If she could, she would need a prenuptial examination.
“Hehe, it’s because you won’t have a child that you’re pitiful. Once the prince is gone, everything in this mansion will belong to that aunt’s child. When that time comes, depending on the son, you, the manager, will have to depend on the side!”
As she thought about the ending of this wangfei, the wedding maiden’s heart ached. Who would have thought that the dignified eldest daughter of the richest man in the Southern Chu Country would become so pitiful?
