Everyone, more or less, has a sense of danger, and Song Jiaoer is no exception. When she suddenly realized what she had said, and the two maidservants behind that woman stood beside her, she felt a chill drilling into her skin, invading her bones.
Song Jiaoer instinctively took a step back, but quickly sensed that this action was inappropriate. She, in the esteed position of a Commandery Princess, was actually intimidated by a woman of unknown identity.
This made her feel extrely frustrated and embarrassed!
Just as she was about to reprimand, that damn Zhao Min jumped up, pointed at her face, and angrily yelled, "Song Jiaoer, don’t push your luck. Do you think you can walk sideways in Changan City just because you can do that in the Northwest?"
From the Northwest?
Wufu’s eyes flashed as she calmly drank her tea.
After being chastised by Zhao Min, Song Jiaoer furrowed her brows but still arrogantly glanced sidelong at Wufu, saying, "Oh? So if it’s not the Northwest that lets walk sideways, that ans she must be soone I can’t afford to offend? What’s her background?"
Wufu lowered her eyes and said to Changping, "You have sothing to do today. I’ll leave first and invite you out another day." She said this as she stood up to leave.
"Stand there; you still haven’t answered my question!" Song Jiaoer, seeing this person ignore her, indignantly blocked her way, staring at her with an overbearing gaze.
"Song Jiaoer, enough is enough." Changping got between them and faced Song Jiaoer, saying, "I’ve had enough of you. You leave now. Wufu is my close friend, and I won’t let you bully her. If you dare to act recklessly, I’ll report to your mother consort."
Song Jiaoer, angry, darkened her face and snorted, "I see, she’s of no noble birth. Zhao Min, you actually lower yourself to beco close friends with such a person. Do you think I want to stay here, compromising my status!" Having said that, she glared at Wufu again, "This ti Zhao Min has your back, consider yourself lucky. Next ti you see this Commandery Princess, avoid ! We’re leaving!"
"Song Jiaoer, how dare you, stop!" Changping jumped in anger, but unfortunately, Song Jiaoer ignored her, leading her entourage out of the room.
"Let it go!" Wufu held back Changping, who was about to lose her composure, saying, "They’ve left, what’s the point of chasing them!"
"But she, she bullied you and threatened you!" Changping frowned, a trace of worry in her eyes, saying, "I should have known not to co up!"
Wufu pulled her back to sit down, saying, "Look at you worrying. What kind of Commandery Princess is she? Ca from the Northwest?"
"She’s the daughter of Prince Wei. She ca this ti to celebrate the Empress Dowager’s birthday!" Changping said, "Oh, you might not know about Prince Wei. He’s a Prince of a Different Surna nad Song Gang. Song Jiaoer is his legitimate daughter, conferred as Princess Ping Xi. She also has a brother nad Song Xuan, who is the Crown Prince Wei."
As she spoke, Wufu quickly recalled the list of Nanyue officials given to her by i Er.
Prince Wei, an inheriting prince, descended from the common folk, was conferred as a Prince of a Different Surna in the Forr Dynasty for pacifying the Northwest, and has been guarding the Northwest for generations. The current Prince Wei, Song Gang, is naturally strong, using Lord Guan’s broadsword as his weapon, extrely brave.
However, people with power and influence can easily drift when they lose their core. It’s heard Prince Wei has a great fondness for won, with a household full of concubines and mistresses, so the Northwest today, due to exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous levies, isn’t as stable and prosperous as it was during his father’s era.
"...Wufu, you have to be careful. Song Jiaoer has a very bad temper. I heard that her father’s mistress was whipped to death by her for just offending her with a few words." Changping said worriedly, "She’s arrogant and domineering. I fear she’ll cause trouble for you!"
