Chapter 153 Why do you have to humiliate her like this!

Shaoguang Academy.

When Princess Ning learned that her son had brought Chu Yanluo back again, she almost fainted from anger!

"That bastard, I don't think he'll ever be a good person! I knew he was being so obedient this time, going to consummate his marriage with the Crown Princess. Turns out, he was just waiting for me here!"

Granny Quan hadn't expected things to turn out this way: "I don't know what kind of abilities this Chu Yanluo has. She was able to come back even after leaving, and it was the young master who personally brought her back. This woman is too scheming. The young master is no match for her!"

Princess Ning covered her head and sighed repeatedly: "Granny, is it because I protected Yuan'er too well before, so that he is too naive and can't tell the difference between good and bad people? It's too late for me to teach him now."

Seeing that she was blaming herself again, Granny Quan couldn't help but advise her, "Your Highness, don't think too much. If Chu Yanluo can leave once, she can leave a second time. Even if she doesn't leave in the future, at worst she'll just be a concubine for the young master. As long as the young master is safe and sound, we don't ask for anything else."

Princess Ning shook her head: "That Chu Yanluo isn't even worthy of being Yuan'er's concubine. I'd be ashamed of her even as a concubine! Other people's concubines are at least innocent young ladies, but Chu Yanluo isn't innocent at all, her heart is black!"

Just then, the maid Qiushui came in to report: "Your Highness, the Prince has arrived."

Princess Ning slammed her hand on the table in anger: "How dare he show his face?!"

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince did not come alone; he also brought Miss Chu with him.”

"What?!"

Princess Ning's vision blurred: "I think he's gone mad! He dares to bring all sorts of rubbish here! Tell him to take that shameless woman and get out of here!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Qingyuan walked in.

Chu Yanluo walked in alongside him.

When Princess Ning saw Chu Yanluo dressed in white, which looked like mourning clothes, her forehead throbbed. Then she saw that Chu Yanluo's hair was not tied up at all, but just hung down her back, making her look like a courtesan who had never received any education. Her heart began to ache.

What on earth is this thing?!

Who in the entire capital is dressed like her, looking so unlucky? Does her foolish son perhaps prefer this kind of strange woman?

Seeing his mother's pale face, Xiao Qingyuan softened his tone considerably: "Mother, I've brought Yanluo back again. She suffered all sorts of grievances and bullying at Gu Qianhan's place. If I hadn't brought her back, she might have lost her life."

Princess Ning stared at him with a cold expression and didn't say a word.

“I know that my mother has many prejudices against Yanluo, so I brought Yanluo to meet her this time. Seeing is believing. Yanluo is not what they say she is. She is a woman with the most pride and integrity. Once you spend some time with her, you will definitely like her.”

Princess Ning remained silent.

Xiao Qingyuan was slightly embarrassed. He tugged at Chu Yanluo, gesturing for her to bow to his mother.

Chu Yanluo felt an intense loathing for Princess Ning. In her previous life, it was because of Princess Ning that she was always overshadowed by the stupid and clumsy Shen Mingxuan, and could never become Xiao Qingyuan's principal wife or a glorious princess consort.

However, it was precisely because she and Princess Ning were irreconcilable enemies in her previous life that Shen Mingxuan was able to take advantage of the situation.

This time, she suddenly realized that if she wanted to become the Crown Prince's wife, she couldn't keep going against Princess Ning.

Shen Wantang is now living a very successful life in the Ning Prince's Mansion. What does she rely on? It's the support and protection of the Ning Princess.

If she can please Princess Ning, what role will Shen Wantang play in the future?

Therefore, Chu Yanluo respectfully bowed to Princess Ning: "Yanluo greets Princess, may Princess be well."

Princess Ning looked down on Chu Yanluo at all, so no matter how well Chu Yanluo pretended, Princess Ning never gave her a kind look.

This scheming woman can fool her son, but she can't fool herself!

Chu Yanluo clearly loathed her, yet she pretended to be so obedient; she obviously had ulterior motives!

Therefore, she neither gave Chu Yanluo a glance nor asked her to rise. She simply sat there steadily, displaying the aura of a princess, high and mighty, with a strong sense of contempt.

The room was deathly silent. Outside, the wind and rain raged, but inside, you could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.

Chu Yanluo had experienced this feeling of being ignored and crushed in her previous life. She never expected that she would have to go through this again in her second life!

She felt incredibly humiliated.

She raised her head, glanced at the aloof Princess Ning, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

That old hag should have died long ago!

If she dies, Shen Wantang will have no backing, and the Ning Prince's Mansion will be under Chu Yanluo's control from now on!

Xiao Qingyuan didn't see the murderous intent in Chu Yanluo's eyes. He only felt that his beloved woman was bowing and scraping before his mother for his sake, but was completely ignored by her.

He felt deeply that his beloved woman had been wronged, so he stepped forward and, in front of everyone, took Chu Yanluo's hand.

He looked at his mother, his expression turning cold: "Mother, even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha. Your son brought Yanluo to see you. Even if you are dissatisfied, you should at least have a proper conversation with her. Why do you have to humiliate her like this?"

Princess Ning's eyes gradually reddened: "I haven't even said a single word, not a single harsh word, and you already accuse me of humiliating her?!"

"Not saying a word is an insult, isn't it? I didn't see you treat Shen Wantang like this when she came!"

"You have no idea how I treated Shen Wantang the first time she came!"

Princess Ning's voice was sharp and piercing: "Because you weren't by her side when she first met her in-laws! Shen Wantang withstood the tests from me and your father all by herself! If I were to use the same methods to test Shen Wantang on Chu Yanluo, you would probably curse me and your father to death!"

"If she can't even withstand this little test, what right does Chu Yanluo have to live in the Ning Prince's Mansion? What right does she have to stand by your side?!"

Xiao Qingyuan was taken aback: "When Shen Wantang married into the family, there was a test? I've never heard of that. Is Mother deliberately lying to me?"

Princess Ning closed her eyes in disappointment. Her heart was breaking, and her eyes were stinging, but she refused to let herself shed tears in front of someone like Chu Yanluo.

Granny Quan answered Xiao Qingyuan's question on her behalf: "Your Highness, when the Princess Consort entered the family, she did indeed undergo a test. When she served tea to the Prince and Princess, the water she used was boiling hot. She was scalded quite badly, but she didn't utter a sound and held the teacup steadily. Afterwards, she never showed the slightest dissatisfaction or resentment."
