Mrs. Zhu didn't expect that Shi Qingluo would openly mock her as a wicked mother-in-law and look down on her son.
Normally in the backyard, she had many tricks up her sleeve, but she seldom argued with others.
So I was shaking with anger, but I didn't know how to argue.
She raised her finger and pointed at Shi Qingluo, "You, you've gone too far, you're so outrageous!"
Shi Qingluo suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground, "Come here, Madam Zhu is disrespectful to this princess, slap her in the face!"
Don't these people look down on her status? Then she has to use her status as a princess to suppress them.
As soon as she finished speaking, two maids behind her suddenly stepped forward, one of them pulled Madam Zhu up from her seat, and the other slapped Madam Zhu ten times in public with an expressionless face.
It all happened so quickly that everyone only reacted after the maid finished the fight and returned to Shi Qingluo.
Madam Zhu even covered her face and stared at Shi Qingluo in disbelief, "You, you actually dared to hit me?"
Shi Qingluo sneered: "You are a lady without even a rank, and I am a first-rank princess, why shouldn't I dare to hit you?"
"Besides, I didn't hit you for no reason."
"Not only did you point your finger at me, but you also spoke rudely about me. How outrageous!"
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Tell me, who is being so presumptuous?"
"These two are the maids that the emperor has placed beside this princess to protect her. Do you think they dare to hit you?"
It feels so good to bully others by taking advantage of your power.
For someone like Mrs. Zhu who wants to push her sister-in-law into the fire pit, it is too easy for her to just attack her.
It would be nice to slap her in public, and see who dares to hit on her sister-in-law again.
Mrs. Zhu choked up, "You, you..."
She didn't even know how to refute. Although she looked down on Shi Qingluo, a village woman, from the bottom of her heart, this dead girl was indeed a princess.
She didn't expect that just by mentioning the matter of marriage, Shi Qingluo would embarrass her like this.
Feeling the looks from all around her that were gloating, sympathetic, watching the show, and thinking she deserved it, she felt she couldn't stay there any longer.
So he covered his face and glared at Shi Qingluo again, "Just wait for me."
Then she took the maid and left quickly with a gloomy face. She would remember this grudge.
Shi Qingluo didn't care at all about attracting hatred. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were nothing.
She is really not afraid of the Zhu family.
Moreover, as long as the head of the Zhu family is in a clear mind, he will not let his wife do whatever she wants.
"Tsk tsk, she's a lady from an aristocratic family, but she has no manners and grace."
She looked at Madam Zhu's back and continued, "He was disrespectful to the princess right after he arrived, and now he's leaving without permission after a disagreement. This is a slap in the face of the princess!"
These words made Mrs. Butcher, who was standing not far away, look gloomy.
When Mrs. Zhu spoke just now, she had just walked over here, so she deliberately did not walk over and chose to watch the show instead.
Madam Zhu has always been a difficult person to get along with, so she is just the right person to use to deal with Shi Qingluo.
But she didn't expect that Shi Qingluo would be so arrogant and overbearing at this time, scolding and beating a lady from a noble family at will.
This arrogance and domineering attitude is almost catching up with that of the former Princess Zhen.
But if we really want to investigate the matter of Mrs. Zhu being beaten, it would be my fault.
No matter what, Shi Qingluo's identity as a princess is real.
Although the head of the Zhu family was a third-rank official, Mrs. Zhu was not granted a royal status.
Not only is his status lower than mine, but he is also stupid, so Shi Qingluo is using him as an example to warn the others.
Mrs. Tu was already unhappy, and after hearing Shi Qingluo's sarcasm, she felt even more uncomfortable.
The wives of officials in the northern city were not given imperial decrees, not sure if it was intentional on the part of the emperor.
That is to say, except for the former Princess Jin and the former Princess Zhen, other ladies have no rank.
Now these two people have also been demoted to commoners by King Jin. If we think about it this way, among all the ladies in the entire North City, Shi Qingluo is actually the one with the highest status...
Mrs. Butcher took a deep breath and walked over with her maid.
At this time, Shi Qingluo turned around and instructed a maid: "Send someone to tell the master of the Zhu family that his wife was disrespectful to this princess and asked this princess to wait."
"I am just waiting to see how the Zhu family will deal with me."
"A lady without an imperial title dares to target the first-rank princess personally appointed by His Majesty. Is his Zhu family more powerful than His Majesty?"
These words made many ladies present look unhappy.
Although Shi Qingluo was talking about Madam Zhu, he also looked down on them. After all, they were all ladies without imperial decrees.
Moreover, Shi Qingluo was making a big deal out of nothing and even sent people to the Zhu family to threaten them.
The last sentence is even more heartbreaking. Although everyone knows that the Zhu family has surrendered to Prince Jin, the world still belongs to the emperor.
More powerful than the emperor, what does this mean? Does the Zhu family dare to admit it? Before Prince Jin succeeds, Madam Zhu will definitely not be able to avenge the humiliation she suffered at the hands of Shi Qingluo, and she may even be scolded by the head of the Zhu family.
At this moment, all the ladies who had originally wanted to test Xiao Baili's marriage gave up their thoughts.
At the same time, there is a common understanding that Princess Fubao is not easy to mess with.
The maid left quickly, apparently going directly to the Zhu family.
For a moment, the ladies didn't know what to say.
The deadlock and awkwardness were broken only when Mrs. Butcher came over.
A lady from the Jinwang faction immediately said with a smile, "Madam Tu is here!"
Mrs. Tu smiled and said, "Sorry, I was just arranging the flower viewing and I'm late!"
The lady who spoke smiled and said, "We just got here too."
Madam Tu walked up to Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong and bowed, "Greetings to the Princess, Greetings to the Marquis!"
Shi Qingluo looked at Madam Tu with a half-smile, "It seems that Madam Tu is the only one who knows etiquette the most."
Then she changed the subject, "But you suddenly saluted us. Isn't this a bit embarrassing for the other ladies?"
Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "After all, since the time this princess and the Marquis of Zhennan came into the house, from the maids to the other ladies, no one has ever been polite to us."
This was a bit ironic. If they really respected her as a princess and Xi Rong as a marquis, why didn't the maids of the Tu Mansion bow when they entered the house? What was the meaning of running to bow now? At the same time, it also pushed Madam Tu to the opposite side of all the ladies.
Sure enough, the other ladies were also somewhat unhappy.
This Mrs. Butcher is really something. As soon as she arrived, she ran to pay her respects to Shi Qingluo and Marquis Zhennan. Isn't this embarrassing for those of them who didn't pay their respects?
The key point is that if Shi Qingluo hadn't said it clearly, everyone would have pretended not to know.
But now that they have been named and it has been emphasized that only Mrs. Butcher knows etiquette, it seems that they are ignorant of etiquette.
Mrs. Tu had deliberately bowed to Shi Qingluo and the other two, wanting to express a meaning to the ladies present.
Shi Qingluo was arrogant because of her status as a princess and was not an easy person to deal with.
This made everyone have a bad impression of Shi Qingluo, and some even stayed away from him.
In the powerful circle of North City, communication between ladies is naturally very important.
She just wanted to bring all the ladies in North City to isolate Shi Qingluo, the wife of the prefect.
Who would have thought that Shi Qingluo would actually outwit her? Damn it!
