Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Madam Yang and Madam Huang were unhappy.
What was wrong with Shen Chuan?
Why did he have to be on the same side as Fatty Su?
More and more people were watching.
Shen Chuan was the top scholar this year. His words carried a lot of weight.
Hence everyone looked at the mother-in -law and daughter-in-law differently.
Madam Huang’s face turned green and white. “You… you… don’t talk nonsense! You were deceived by this girl! We’ve never let her mother down! It was her father who kidnapped her from the Chen family and drugged her mother. From then on, they stopped interacting with the Chen family! We came to their house many times and were even chased and beaten up by Su Cheng!”
Shen Chuan said, “You came to extort money. If they don’t kick you out, are they going to worship you like a living Buddha? Feel your conscience. How much family allowance did the Protector Duke give your family over the years?”
Shen Chuan would not pretend to be n.o.ble and refrain from arguing just because he had become the top scholar.
Some people deserved to be scolded, so he scolded them openly!
So what if he was the top scorer? Who wasn’t a human? “What’s going on?”
In the crowd, a vendor asked.
Coincidentally, there was a storyteller at the event location.
He immediately understood. Coupled with the past of the Protector of the Duke’s Estate, he apprised everyone on the ins and outs.
“Didn’t the biological son of the old Guardian Duke, Qin Canglan, wander among the commoners for many years? The wife he married in the countryside happened to be the adopted daughter of the Chen family. The Chen family didn’t treat the adopted daughter as a person and abused her for many years. Even after she died, they didn’t let her rest in peace and kept squeezing her son-in-law. Now that her biological parents have come looking for her, they even said that they had been wronged and played the blame game!” “Cutting pig gra.s.s at the age of four,” an auntie said with heartache. The auntie hugged her granddaughter in her arms. “Beast!”
Everyone scolded the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Madam Yang trembled with anger. “No matter what the Chen family did to her, we raised her! If I hadn’t picked her up back then, she would have starved to death by the roadside!”
The hot-tempered auntie scolded, “You didn’t have any good intentions when you picked her up. How dare you say that?”
“That’s right. Don’t you know how many benefits you’ve obtained over the years?”
“Didn’t you say that you were slandered and wronged just now? Are you admitting it now?”
Hanlin Academy was on a break today.
Chen Haovuan attended a poetry gathering in the capital at Princess Lin’s invitation.
After it ended, Princess Lin was a little hungry.
Thinking of the good snack shop nearby, she came over with Chen Haoyuan.
When she pa.s.sed by the jewelry shop, Princess Lin saw that it was noisy inside and came over curiously to watch the commotion.
Chen Haoyuan could only accompany her.
Chen Haoyuan would never have thought that he would see Madam Yang and Madam Huang in the shop.
The two of them were in a sorry state and had swollen faces. They were surrounded and pointed at in the lobby.
Chen Haoyuan hurriedly walked over. “Grandmother? Mother? What’s wrong?”
When Madam Yang and Madam Huang saw him, they immediately felt extremely aggrieved.
Madam Huang immediately cried. “Son, your grandmother and I were bullied so badly…” Princess Lin walked in with a cold expression. “Who dares to bully the two of
“Princess Lin!”
Madam Yang and Madam Huang’s eyes lit up and they were about to bow to her in unison.
Princess Lin supported the two of them. “Matriarch Chen, Madam Chen, don’t be afraid. I want to see who has the guts to bully you!”
Madam Huang pointed at Su Xiaoxiao proudly. “It’s her! This wretched girl!”
Madam Huang came from the countryside and did not know the power of the capital.
In her opinion, regardless of whether this girl had the backing of a marshal or a marquis, they were only officials of the Imperial Court.
Princess Lin was a relative of the emperor!
The world belonged to the royal family. Could this wretched girl afford to offend them?
Princess Lin’s father, Prince Rong, was the youngest concubine brother of the late emperor.
The previous emperor had s.n.a.t.c.hed the throne from his nephew. It was obvious how casual his throne was.
He was useless. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he was sent to his fief.
Last year, Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly thought of this uncle and summoned his family back to the capital.
Princess Lin often went to the nunnery to accompany the Empress Dowager and gained face in front of her.
The high officials and n.o.bles in the capital would more or less give her and Prince Rong some respect.
Princess Lin looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
She thought that the wretched girl Madam Huang was talking about was an ordinary woman, but she was actually so beautiful.
She did not put on any makeup but looked breathtaking.
Her hair adornment was simple. She only used a blue headband to tie her hair into two buns, but it could not stop her from being dazzling.
She was pregnant and had a cute face. There was a rare heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
Princess Lin was in a daze for a moment.
Chen Haoyuan was even more absent-minded than her.
If not for his mother calling her a wretched girl, he would never believe that the beautiful woman in front of him was Fatty Su, who had once pursued him in the countryside.
It was not an exaggeration to say that she had been reborn.
Cheng Sang opened the food box and brought out the barley porridge in the first compartment and a plate of boiled vegetables.
Chen Haoyuan felt awkward.
Princess Lin came back to her senses and frowned at Su Xiaoxiao. “Who are you?”
Su Xiaoxiao said indifferently, “Qin Su, from the Protector Duke’s Estate.” Hearing these words, Princess Lin’s expression changed!
Madam Huang did not notice Princess Lin’s abnormality. She placed her hands on her hips and shouted, “Fatty Su! So what if you change your surname? Let me tell you, the person standing in front of you is Princess Lin!”
Princess Lin had been in the capital for more than half a year and had interacted with all the n.o.ble ladies. How could she not know Qin Su’s name?
She was the pearl protected by Qin Canglan and the Marquis of Zhenbei. She was the only sister of the five brothers of the Su family and the seventh young madam of the Wei family.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Qin Su was the first daughter of the Great Zhou.
Even the two princesses were her best friends.
It was true that she was a princess, but she could not be stubborn in front of her…
Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly, “Princess, do you have any instructions?”
Princess Lin clenched the handkerchief in her hand awkwardly.
Of all the people they could have offended, why did they have to offend her…
Madam Huang urged, “Princess, punish her!”
Madam Yang also said, “That’s right, Princess. Look at how she bullied us!”
Cheng Sang said coldly, “I was the one who beat you up!”
Princess Lin saw hope. If it were anyone else, she could still use her status as a princess.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Grandmother, there’s no need for you to draw a boundary. Even if you don’t beat her up, I’ll beat her up!” What?
Was this person Qin Su’s grandmother?
Princess Lin’s head hurt!
At this moment, her maidservant walked over and whispered in her ear.
Princess Lin’s eyelashes trembled. She turned around resolutely and said to Madam Yang and Madam Huang, “You were in the wrong today. Why did you lie to me?”
The sudden change in Princess Lin’s expression stunned Madam Yang and Madam Huang.
What was going on?
Wasn’t the princess going to stand up for them?
