"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a bastard child, does it think it's the daughter of the Prime Minister?"
Some timid people tugged at her, saying, "Forget it, forget it, don't say anything more. Even if she's not the daughter of a prime minister, she's still the future heir apparent's wife. We still can't afford to offend her."
The man laughed immediately upon hearing this: "What a joke! A crown prince's wife? What does a bastard have to be afraid of as a crown prince's wife?"
"Never mind, stop talking, she'll hear you."
The person seemed determined to challenge her, looking directly at Sang Rui and saying, "So what if you saw it? The former Prime Minister's wife was such a good person. If she hadn't died young, would those two little vixens have been able to take her place?"
Another person, upon hearing her mention Ruan Yunyun, couldn't help but chime in: "Yes, what a pity, and it's also a shame for that fourth young lady..."
The woman's arrogant expression softened, and she sighed, "What fourth young lady? She's Princess Mingyue now. It's better than being bullied by this little bastard every day."
Sang Rui stopped in her tracks, her expression shifting rapidly. She wanted to confront those people, but Aya stopped her, saying, "Miss, let's go back and see what's going on."
Sang Rui glanced at the group of people, gritted her teeth, and turned to leave. She felt the whispers and pointing at her all the way and wished she could disappear into a hole.
She deliberately showed off today, so she didn't take a sedan chair and walked out the door herself.
When she finally arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, she saw the disdainful looks from the guards at the gate.
Sang Rui immediately snapped: "Insolence!"
The guard looked at her and gave a perfunctory bow: "Third Miss, instead of scolding us here, you should hurry back and see the First Madam."
Sang Rui glared at the group and said, "Just you wait!"
After saying that, she hurriedly ran towards Furong Garden.
Behind them, they could hear the guards chuckling: "What else can we do but wait?"
"Haha, she probably doesn't know yet."
Sang Rui became even more anxious. As soon as she entered Furong Garden, she went straight to the First Madam's bedroom, where the First Madam was being held tightly by Lin Mama.
Her eyes were vacant and lifeless as she stared ahead, repeatedly shouting, "I'm a slut! I'm shameless."
Sang Rui frowned immediately. She took a few steps and looked at Lin's mother, asking, "Lin's mother, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing Sang Rui's voice, the madam finally reacted. She broke free from Lin Mama's embrace, stood up, and hugged Sang Rui tightly: "Rui'er! I'm a wicked woman! I'm so sorry! What should I do, Rui'er! I might ruin your happiness!"
Sang Rui's brows furrowed even more. She broke free from the First Madam's embrace, grabbed her arms with both hands, and shouted sharply, "Mother! What are you saying!"
The First Madam looked up and saw that the tears she had managed to hold back were flowing out again. Looking at Sang Rui, she closed her eyes and cried in despair.
Sang Rui was completely fed up by this point. She grabbed the First Madam's arms and forced her to look at her, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "What exactly did you do! Do you know how everyone treated me outside just now!"
The First Madam opened her eyes, which were swollen like walnuts, opened them briefly, and then closed them again.
Faced with Sang Rui's questioning, she really didn't know how to answer!
Seeing Sang Rui's increasingly impatient gaze, she took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth to say the words she never wanted to utter in her life: "Rui'er, actually... you are not Sang Hongfu's biological daughter..."
