Capítulo 1268: Chapter 1266: Slipping Away in Sha
Upon hearing Changping’s command, Madam Wang instantly realized the severity of the situation. If they were to be expelled from the Prince’s Mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, it would an they had offended the Prince’s Mansion and Princess Changping.
What, they’re the ones being driven out, and if there’s any offense, it’d be Changping disregarding the social propriety and offending them? Ridiculous, their fifth-rank official family’s status is truly insignificant; a dignified Commandery Princess offending them is hardly noteworthy!
If only offending the Prince’s Mansion were the end of it, but consider what’s to follow; many ladies and misses have co to witness the event today, and if they were singularly driven out, wouldn’t others have sothing to think?
Even if they don’t think much, given the presence of several prominent young ladies here, can they guarantee none of it would be spoken of outside?
Once the news spreads, it falls squarely on the Wu Family, because it was Wu Yining who spoke disrespectfully, Wu Yining who uttered hurtful words, while that girl nad Wufu rely introduced her origins.
Miscalculated!
Madam Wang quickly assessed the pros and cons; confronting that wretched girl made them miscalculate, and they’ve fallen to a disadvantage!
Others don’t know the internal details; the way they’ve acted is clearly improper. And Yining’s outburst with such crude words like ‘wretch’ certainly casts doubt on the Wu family’s upbringing. Which family’s lady would dare to accept a daughter-in-law like that?
If before, Madam Wang despised and disliked Wufu, now she truly detests her to the core!
Encountering such a cursed ill on never leads to anything good!
But now is not the ti to dwell on Wufu’s faults. Madam Wang instantly thought of a counterasure, harshly slapping Wu Yining, scolding: “Who told you to be disrespectful? Step back now!”
Wu Yining was stunned by the slap, covering half her face, staring blankly at Madam Wang, tears welling up.
Madam Wang ignored her, instead flattering Changping, “Commandery Princess, I sincerely apologize; my girl mistook identities. Please don’t mind, young lady, I’m sorry!”
The latter sentence was directed at Wufu, even giving her a polite bow.
A dignified fifth-rank imperial command lady actually bowing to a lowborn, utterly abominable; she would certainly repay this tenfold in the future, wretch!
Wufu noticed the fleeting hatred in Madam Wang’s eyes, saying, “I see this young lady has a fiery temper, insulting others at first sight. Madam should give her sothing to cool down!”
Madam Wang forced a smile, her mouth curling.
Changping, holding Wufu’s hand, chided, “Wufu, why waste words on such people? You’re too kind; as far as I see, a filthy mouth deserves slapping.” She then turned to Qing Xin, “Why hesitate? Escort this Miss Wu down to calm her temper!”
Qing Xin curtsied in acceptance.
Madam Wang gritted her teeth in anger, just about to speak when soone swiftly approached, it was a Prince’s Mansion servant accompanied by their maid.
The maid’s eyes lit up upon seeing Madam Wang, quickly stepping forward for a bow, “Madam!” Her face showing urgency yet restraining.
Madam Wang’s heart raced.
“What happened?”
“Master requests Madam’s imdiate return ho for urgent matters!” the maid said.
Just like taking a nap and finding a pillow offered; Madam Wang felt a bit relieved, telling Changping, “Commandery Princess, there’s an urgent matter at ho, we must leave first. I ask for your forgiveness!” Then, turning to Qing Xin, “Could you please inform the Princess Consort?”
Saying so, without waiting for Changping’s reply, she dragged Wu Yining along, taking her younger daughter and niece, retreating quickly and discreetly.
And Wu Yining, still glared viciously at Wufu, her gaze full of malice.
Wufu squinted her eyes slightly, wondering what had happened?
