The day of the party!

The Zhenbei Palace was filled with joy today, with ministers from the imperial court arriving one after another. Even some wealthy merchants in the capital sent gifts, including the imperial merchant Ji family.

Before the auspicious hour arrived, the guests found their friends and acquaintances to chat with. Some discussed business matters, some discussed the developments in the court, and some even tried to curry favor with their superiors or wealthy businessmen. The atmosphere was very lively.

The Minister of Revenue came with his family to help early in the morning, and the Huo and Sun families also came to help early in the morning.

"The auspicious time has arrived. Madam Murong, please take your seat!"

The time has come, the butler said loudly.

Old Madam Murong walked into the banquet hall supported by La Mei and another nanny, and sat in the seat of honor with an arrogant expression on her face.

This was the feeling of being the master of the house. Lamei was right. She had to stay in the mansion. This high and mighty feeling, looking down on everyone, was refreshing.

Thinking back to her life in the old house, the clan members felt that she was not liked by her son, who often gave her the cold shoulder and mocked her for being ungrateful and worse than pigs and dogs for hurting her granddaughter for the sake of her in-laws.

What do they know? What's the point of getting money-losing goods?

"Please invite the King of Zhenbei and the Princess to take their seats!"

After Madam Murong was seated, the butler invited Murong Yuanbo and Liu Ningchu to come up.

Murong Yuanbo walked up with Liu Ningchu on his arm. The two stood in the middle. Murong Yuanbo spoke, "Everyone, today is the day that this prince and the palace's legitimate daughter, Gao Zhijun, recognize each other as relatives. As everyone knows, eleven years ago, this prince's daughter was murdered and left adrift. I have sent people to search for her, but she has never been found. However, God will not let down those who work hard. With sincerity, even metal and stone can be broken. God has opened his eyes and finally allowed this prince to find my daughter. She is Princess Xiangyun!"

"After my daughter disappeared, I lost my appetite, couldn't sleep, and was completely exhausted. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and let my daughter return to us safely."

Murong Yuanbo and Liu Ningchu both spoke their lines, and they were in a happy mood at the moment.

"Next, please invite our precious daughter up!"

Murong Yuanbo and Liu Ningchu said at the same time.

Gao Zhijun walked forward with a confident and joyful pace and came to the middle of Murong Yuanbo and Liu Ningchu.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gao Zhijun, the daughter of the King of Zhenbei. I'm very happy to be reunited with my family. I didn't know my true identity because my adoptive parents treated me like their own. Perhaps fate had already determined that I would meet my family in Taizhou. Perhaps this was God's compensation for me. My father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and second brother have been very kind to me and spoiled me like a princess. I'm very grateful to them!"

Gao Zhijun's touching words received continuous applause from the guests in the hall.

"Now, please take your seats, Your Majesty and Princess!"

The butler said loudly.

Murong Yuanbo and Liu Ningchu sat on both sides of Old Madam Murong.

"Now, please ask the daughter of the royal family to kneel down and offer tea to the elders!"

The housekeeper said.

Hongyue helped Gao Zhijun to come before Old Madam Murong and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Granddaughter Murong Zhixuan pays respects to Grandmother, wishing her good health and prosperity!"

Gao Zhijun said this while kowtowing.

Old Madam Murong didn't look at Gao Zhijun, nor did she speak.

The housekeeper knew that the old lady was trying to intimidate the young lady and embarrass her, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "The old lady was so happy and excited to see the young lady who had lost her virtue and regained her dignity that she was stunned."

"Now, please, young lady, serve tea to grandma!"

The maid came over with a tray with a cup of tea on it.

Gao Zhijun took the teacup and was about to pick it up when the old lady's words made her hands tremble with anger.

"What's there to be happy about when a money-losing guy is here?"

Her words silenced all the guests.

The princess that everyone wants to curry favor with is actually described as a money-loser. How dare she say that?

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Mother-in-law, is this your upbringing?"

"Grandma, how can you say that about my sister?"

"Old Madam, you are so arrogant! How dare you slander the granddaughter of this noble lady?"

"Since the old lady looks down on my granddaughter, I'll just disown her!"

"You think you can look down on my daughter-in-law? Who do you think you are?"

Murong Yuanbo, Liu Ningchu, Murong Fu, Murong Shuo, Zhang Bi, Jin Die and Hong Qiujue shouted at the same time, and they all stared at old lady Murong with angry eyes.

Murong Yuanbo and Murong Fu looked at Old Madam Murong with disappointment. They decided to send their mother/grandmother back to the old house so that she could reflect on herself and get along well with her daughter/sister.

Unexpectedly, they were wrong. This is their character and they can't change it at all.

"Am I wrong? A girl who only paid for something is not worth the trouble of holding such a grand family recognition banquet!"

Old Madam Murong still didn't know she was wrong. She had been called a money-loser by her grandmother and parents since she was a child. Because of this deep-rooted idea, she thought women were useless money-losers.

"Grandma is right. I'm just a money-loser. And what about you, Grandma? Aren't you just an old money-loser? So, what qualifications do you have to look down on others?"

Gao Zhijun has never been someone who accepts things passively, and she fights back without any hesitation.

Look down on women? You are not a woman yourself.

The original owner was weak and submissive. She wasn't like that. She wanted revenge. If she couldn't get it, she would remember to find an opportunity to strike back and get her revenge.
