Chapter 122: Chapter 60: Witnessing the Power of Gossiping Women

[...]

Yun Wanqing silently praised her mother and applauded her effort, and upon hearing this, Lady Yun’s lips slightly curved.

Her gaze fell upon Madam Lv, and she said with a meaningful tone, "Madam Lv, I deeply pondered upon what you just said."

"I remember, Madam Lv, that the second wife of the Lv Family is the daughter of the richest man in Nanzhou Prefecture. When she married into the Lv Family, her dowry was so extravagant that it caused a sensation in Haojing. Yet now, when the second branch encountered trouble, why is it that the young lady from the second branch has not shown up?"

’Shua...’

Madam Lv’s face suddenly turned pale.

Why did Ye Xiwei specifically mention the second branch dowry and the young lady from the second branch? What does she mean?

Could it be that she knows something?

No, no, no, it couldn’t be. With so many busy officials in the capital, who would have the time to pay attention to a little girl?

The second branch never had any interactions with the Yun Family, especially Ye Xiwei, who is occupied all day managing the Yun Family’s affairs, she surely wouldn’t have time to pay attention to that little brat.

It must be because the words spoken earlier were unpleasant, angering Ye Xiwei, and she just brought this matter up to embarrass her. As long as she denies it, there’s no problem.

She didn’t believe that Ye Xiwei would stand up for that little brat.

Thinking of this, Madam Lv relaxed completely, her face now adorned with a proper smile.

"Huan’er is frail, so she seldom goes out. Besides, a lady of a noble family wouldn’t appear in public all the time. Lady Yun, if you wish to see Huan’er, you may visit our residence some other day."

"Is that so? Then when I call on you someday, I hope Madam Lv won’t turn me away."

Is Ye Xiwei really planning to visit, or is she just speaking casually?

Madam Lv pursed her lips and looked at Lady Yun with probing eyes, feeling a bit nervous inside. But as a seasoned veteran, she didn’t let her anxiety show on her face at all.

However, Lady Yun couldn’t be bothered with her. She turned to look at Princess Jing and said, "Princess, my Xiao Si needs to be fed. Might I borrow a room?"

"Follow me."

Princess Jing stood up, spoke a few words to the ladies in the hall, and then left the maids to accompany them, personally leading Lady Yun towards an inner courtyard, with Yun Wanyao following behind.

Once they left the gathering, Lady Yun apologized, "Princess, with so many people still at the banquet, leaving them might not be ideal, right? Perhaps you could stay with them and have someone else accompany me."

"No problem."

Princess Jing smiled faintly and said, "Let the maids accompany them."

She couldn’t stand that group of chatterboxes either. If it weren’t for the connections between the manor and their families, along with the large sums of money given away, she wouldn’t have invited them to attend Han’er’s birthday banquet.

"Lady Yun, I must say, I never realized how sharp-tongued you could be. You rendered those ladies speechless earlier."

Thinking of this, Princess Jing smiled again as she held her handkerchief.

In all these years she had known Lady Yun, it was the first time witnessing her articulate side.

[It’s true, my mother’s performance today deserves a full score.]

[If my mother continues to act like this, those ladies wouldn’t dare to use their sharp tongues to provoke her.]

[Mother, from now on, don’t indulge them. If someone says something you dislike, just retort directly.]

[The more you let them off, the more they’ll take advantage, eventually climbing all over you.]

[...]

Yun Wanyao and Lady Yun both deeply agreed with these words.

In the past, they were overly concerned about their public image and felt embarrassed about everything. When others spoke a few words, they just thought of enduring for the sake of peace.

But they forgot that while enduring could keep the peace, it left them frustrated and miserable.

Isn’t it refreshing to speak out?

Lady Yun felt rejuvenated now.

"Forgive me for making you laugh, Princess."

"Not at all, this Princess finds it very satisfying."

When hosting banquets, affluent families usually have rooms prepared for emergencies, and Prince Jing Mansion is no exception, with several guest rooms prepared.

However, Princess Jing didn’t lead Lady Yun to one of the prepared guest rooms but rather to the main courtyard.

From afar, they saw a beautifully dressed boy standing on the steps, his expression dim as he looked in their direction.

The boy looked as exquisite as a jade statue, crafted like a snow doll.

"Han’er, you’re out now?"

Princess Jing walked towards the boy with large strides, bending down before him and looking at him with full joy.
