People of Firmament Palace felt that they were better than everyone else, especially when that person was the maid of the sacred lady. Tongque immediately put on a long face and said harshly, “Please tell His Royal Highness that I’m here. My sacred lady is waiting for a reply.”
Granny Gong remained unperturbed. “I have your letter here, but His Royal Highness is busy. He won’t be seeing you today. Please leave.”
Tongque was genuinely angry now.
She was used to getting things her way in Firmament Palace. All the pupils used to fawn on her to get close to the sacred lady.
At that thought, she smirked and said in a threatening tone, “There will be consequences if His Royal Highness is upset!”
She believed that her sacred lady was the most promising cultivator of her generation!
Granny Gong was obviously displeased. She glanced at Xiangcao and turned around.
“See her out!” Granny Gong was angry as well.
Xiangcao smiled at Tongque. “Miss whatever-you’re-called, please leave.”
Tongque said, “I’m Tongque, Miss Qingluan’s maid.”
Miss Qingluan the sacred lady? As impressive as that sounded, the title was nothing pared to that of a crown prince. A servant of the crown prince’s residence wouldn’t be threatened.
Xiangcao said indifferently, “In that case, Miss Tongque, please leave.”
Tongque stomped her foot in frustration.
These people!
She decided that she was going to plain to the sacred lady.
In Phoenix Yard.
When Tongque plained to Zuo Qingluan about how arrogant the servants of the crown prince’s residence were…
“Smack!”
Zuo Qingluan slapped her.
“My lady, why?” Tongque looked at her in disbelief.
Zuo Qingluan’s face was livid.
Tongque didn’t understand.
“My lady, His Royal Highness is so fond of you. If he knows how rude his servants are, he’ll definitely punish them!” The slap calmed Tongque down, and she tried to fort her mistress.
Zuo Qingluan didn’t know what to say.
Even she had to show Granny Gong some respect, but Tongque had… How dare she?!
Tongque had no idea that the rumor that Jun Linyuan was fond of Zuo Qingluan came from people whom Zuo Qingluan had hired.
But she couldn’t tell Tongque that since it would be so humiliating.
“The person that told you off was Granny Gong. From now on, when you deal with her…” Zuo Qingluan took a deep breath.
“What? Do we have to deal with that fierce woman again?” Tongque thought in frustration.
Zuo Qingluan kept her gaze on her. “From now on, show her some respect!” At least until she married Jun Linyuan.
She could tell that Tongque was still unconvinced, so she smirked. “If I see that you’re doing things behind my back, I have more than enough replacements for you!”
Those words made Tongque go pale.
She dropped to her knees and swore that she would respect Granny Gong from now on.
After that, Zuo Qingluan remained in a bad mood.
Tongque stumbled back in fear.
She knew that it was the silence before a storm, and she wanted to run away.
Just then, they heard footsteps. It was Mrs.. Zuo.
