Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Suffering Wife vs. Howrecker (7) Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Suffering Wife vs. Howrecker (7) At that ti, he felt that such a young girl, if soone were fortunate enough to marry her, would surely be cherished and adored for a lifeti. Little did he know that such a scandal would break out in the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion.
However, he also knew that if this matter were to blow up, it would be a significant blow to the reputation of the Grand Tutor’s Mansion and her reputation as well.
“I will issue a decree, reprimanding the Prince of Zhenbei for his lack of strict household managent. Dear great-aunt, please take good care of your health,” he finally said.
The Grand Princess Ronghua’s crying session was more of an act than a genuine display of emotion. Now that she had achieved the desired outco, she was no longer relentlessly persistent.
anwhile, Madam ng sat upright in the grand hall of the Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion.
“I wonder what brings Madam ng here?” Even though the Princess Consort of Zhenbei was surprised to see her calling so formally without an invitation, she remained completely smiling, as the Grand Tutor was highly trusted by His Majesty, and Madam ng was to be future family.
Gently holding the teacup in front of her, Madam ng lightly touched it a few tis, ultimately not taking a sip.
“I dare not impose on Your Highness’ hospitality. I have heard that there is an orphan girl in your mansion who grew up with the heir-apparent. Might I et her?” Madam ng said lightly.
Upon hearing Madam ng ntion Zhang Mingshu, the face of the Princess Consort of Zhenbei visibly shifted to an unnatural expression.
Smiling, she said, “Madam speaks of my niece Mingshu from my maternal family. I took pity on her for losing her parents at a young age and brought her over to raise her. How is it that Madam ng knows of her?”
Madam ng gently set the teacup back on the table. Although the movent was small, the teacup still made a “clink” sound.
Madam ng appeared to smile yet not smile: “I did not know about her initially. But just a few days ago, I went out on an errand and happened to see your esteed Heir-apparent closely accompanied by a lady in white, whom others even called ‘madam’. It truly took aback.”
Her expression turned completely cold: “I was never aware that I, Liang ng, ever had such a daughter!”
The face of the Princess Consort of Zhenbei finally changed.
She had never expected that her own son would be so indiscreet outside. There were plenty of noble families within the Capital City aware of the marital ties between the Prince’s Mansion and the Grand Tutor’s Mansion. With just a mont’s carelessness, their tracks could easily be exposed.
She forced a smile and said, “There must be a misunderstanding here…”
Madam ng uncompromisingly cut in, “Then please explain to , what is this misunderstanding?”
Suddenly, a delicate voice ca from outside the door, “I heard we have guests, so I…”
Madam ng looked up and saw a graceful figure in white approaching them.
Her face was as lovely as a lotus, her eyebrows like willow leaves, and her lips like red rouge. Indeed, she was a rare beauty.
After assessing her attire, Madam ng already had a notion.
“Could this be the fad Miss Zhang?” Madam ng asked.
Zhang Mingshu was slightly curious, “I am Zhang Mingshu. May I ask who you are, madam?”
Madam ng smiled with deep aning, “I am the mistress of Grand Tutor Liang’s Residence. I wonder if Miss Zhang is aware of who I am?”
Zhang Mingshu’s face suddenly paled.
She certainly knew what kind of place Grand Tutor Liang’s Residence was, and she knew even more who this Madam was!
The mother of her cousin’s future wife!
Observing her shaky appearance and the pitying look from the Princess Consort of Zhenbei, Madam ng had already made up her mind. With a cold laugh, she wished no longer to witness their faces, rose, and departed with a sweep of her sleeve.
