She felt she was the highest in status among this group of people, and if it weren’t for Yang Chuxia, she would definitely be the one accompanying the Commandery Princess in conversation.
Once she had ingratiated herself with the Commandery Princess, wouldn’t her husband’s promotion three years later be an easy affair? Then she would surely have to shed those poor relatives back ho.
"Hmph, just look at those corners of the mouth, a person adept at flattery," the new Madam of County Magistrate said without any reply, opening her mouth again, "People say if the beam is not straight, the lower ones will go askew. The elders are like this, and so will the children be. Not even knowing one’s own status, yet wishing to marry the daughter of a Commandery Princess, it’s truly absurd."
Was she talking about Yangyang?
Yang Chuxia heard this, and her brows imdiately knitted, "Who is that?"
"The Madam of County Magistrate from Quanya, soone who is just annoying to look at," Dongyang directly told Su Ma, "Go, chase her off for , I lose all good mood just listening to her."
"Why chase her away?" Yang Chuxia hurried to intervene, "She’s here for Chengcheng’s baptism, after the ceremony, we can just invite her out to take a seat."
"That will do."
Shortly after, the child was carried out by a wet nurse, and a group of madams each threw in so silver coins, and such things as gold pieces.
Yang Chuxia at this mont took a glance at the new Madam of County Magistrate, a woman in her twenties with an air of superiority. She threw sothing more valuable than the others, a gold ingot that ca from her hand.
When it was ti to eat, Yang Chuxia did not dine with these people but ate in Dongyang’s courtyard instead.
Seeing that Yang Chuxia wasn’t there, the new Madam of County Magistrate mocked and scoffed again, thinking that Yang Chuxia must have offended Commandery Princess Dongyang, not even having had a al, and was driven away.
What she didn’t expect, however, was that when they were taking their leave, Yang Chuxia, accompanied by Yangyang, also bid farewell and the direction they headed toward seed to be Commandery Princess Dongyang’s courtyard.
Consequently, the new Madam of County Magistrate beca displeased, even standing in place unwilling to leave, waiting for Yang Chuxia to greet her. She thought, considering she was the Madam of County Magistrate, in Quanya County, besides Commandery Princess Dongyang, she was the most important, and others had to pay respects when they saw her. She waited to see how she would speak to this woman.
However, Yang Chuxia, walking with Yangyang, passed right in front of her without even sparing her a glance.
"Mommy, that aunty has such a scary look in her eyes," Yangyang turned back for a mont and said.
"If she’s scary, then don’t look, let’s go, we are heading ho."
The new Madam of County Magistrate wanted to rage, but rembering she was at the Mu’s, she held back.
Originally planning to find fault with Yang Chuxia after leaving the Mu Family’s place, by the ti she got out, Yang Chuxia had already left with Ye Zi’an and Yangyang in the carriage to return to the village.
Furious, she was about to tear her handkerchief apart. Still unsatisfied, she had her servant inquire with the people of the Mu Family. But the people of the Mu Family didn’t all know Yang Chuxia and dismissed the servant with a re "don’t know."
However, if Yang Chuxia knew that upon returning to Yangshu Village she would hear such ludicrous matters, she absolutely wouldn’t return to the village.
"Madam, the second Elder Madam of the Wang Family has co again, and she brought that young lady from the Qian Family," Sister-in-law Li approached and spoke as soon as Yang Chuxia got off the carriage.
"At our house?"
Sister-in-law Li replied respectfully, "No, they’re at the Yang Family’s. The madam over there sent soone to say, once you and the young master return, she requests you and the young master to visit."
"Is that so? Let’s rest a while before heading over then, it’s probably nothing important."
