After Princess Mingyu said that, she sat at the table and looked at the Eighth Princess. “Besides your ident.i.ty as the first wife’s daughter, you’re also a princess. In the future, don’t hang out with these unpresentable people. It’s unbefitting of your status.”
The Eighth Princess’ lips twitched. “Thank you for your teachings, Aunt Mingyu.”
At the same time, she loathed Princess Mingyu so much that her teeth itched. Not only did this woman s.n.a.t.c.h the love that her Imperial Father and Imperial Grandmother should have given her, but how dare she lecture her shamelessly? The Eighth Princess gritted her teeth in anger.
She also looked down on Yang Wanyu’s status; what did she mean by that? The Eighth Princess’ mother was also a consort. Was she saying that the Eighth Princess’ and her brother’s status was lower than the Third Prince’s?
At the thought of this, the Eighth Princess wanted to raise her hand and hit Princess Mingyu. However, she forcefully suppressed her anger when she saw the whip in her hand.
On the other end, Yang Wanyu looked at everyone with eyes about to cry. She was here to belittle Yang Wanning, so how did it turn around in the blink of an eye, and all of it was directed at her?
She quickly stuttered, “No, I…”
“What? Are you saying your mother didn’t prepare her clothes, or did your family’s expenses not come from the Gu family’s dowry?”
“I, I…” Yang Wanyu stammered for a moment before turning around and running away.
“That’s it? Such an uneducated girl, running away without even excusing yourself.” Mingyu spoke again.
The girls lowered their heads and tried to hold back their laughter.
Princess Mingyu was as daring as the legends said. If Lord Yang heard this, he would be furious.
While Yang Wanning was grateful to her, she was also worried for her. In her previous life, Princess Mingyu had offended the Empress’ faction in her previous life because of her straightforwardness. In the end, the residence of King An was buried with her for her insolence.
When the Eighth Princess saw that Mingyu was sitting steadily, she knew that she no longer had the chance to bully Yang Wanning. She stood up, bowed, and left.
After this, the girls followed her out one after another.
After everyone left, Mingyu downed a gla.s.s of water and turned to look at Yang Wanning. “Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
“Why should 1 leave?” Yang Wanning smiled and asked.
Mingyu looked at her kind smile and was stunned for a moment. “Aren’t you afraid of offending them?”
“You saw their att.i.tude toward me. It’s useless for me to curry favor with them.” As Yang Wanning said this, she poured Princess Mingyu another gla.s.s of water. “I still have to thank Princess Mingyu for standing up for me just now.”
“I just can’t stand what they’re doing, especially Yang Wanyu. Such shamelessness.” Mingyu resentfully spat. “You too. You’re too soft-hearted. If it were me, I would have slapped her till tomorrow.”
“Just like you said, the Yang Residence is now under Madam Cui’s and her daughter’s control, so anyone wise will understand what is going on.
“The fiercer they make a fuss and the ruder they become, the worse people’s impression of them will be in the end, right?” Yang Wanning replied.
When Chun Hong returned her cousin’s message, she initially did not know what to make of it.
Only when she read the message’s end did she understand her cousin’s intention.
Since Madam Cui wanted to ruin her reputation, then let her be. When people realized what was happening, they would return the ridicule and sarcasm to the mother and daughter.
At that time, she would wear the clothes that her cousin had prepared for her. She would not lose face in front of the royal family and would also give the mother and daughter a fierce slap in the face; just thinking about it made her feel happy.
Mingyu was amused when she heard that. She patted her shoulder and said, “The two of us are really at opposite extremes. I’m straightforward by nature, and you do things roundaboutly.
“It would be great if we could share some of our personalities with each other.
It would save my mother from scolding me for being stupid every day..”
