They didn't want to offend Chen, but their smiles faded, and they felt contempt and disdain for her.
At this point, Madam Chen was furious.
If she hadn't retained a shred of reason, she would have pounced on Rong Qingqing and scratched her face to pieces.
That wretched girl ruined the image she had painstakingly cultivated.
She had finally managed to break into high society as the future mother-in-law of the Third Prince, only to have it all ruined by Rong Qingqing's few words.
From now on, these noblewomen will probably look down on her from the bottom of their hearts.
Although they wouldn't necessarily refuse to hang out with her, they would definitely look down on her and despise her behind her back.
These noblewomen were most averse to servants climbing into their beds, and she happened to have violated this taboo.
Before Rong Qingqing revealed it, although they knew something about her background, they kept it to themselves and no one would expose her. But now that these stains on her reputation were laid bare before them, they could no longer turn a deaf ear.
Chen pinched her fingertips tightly.
"Why is Madam's face so pale?" Rong Qingqing asked with concern.
"I...I'm fine." A metallic taste rose in Chen's throat. Looking at the innocent-looking little bitch in front of her, she was so angry she felt like vomiting blood, but she could only endure it.
"That's good. I think Auntie, no, Madam, doesn't look too well. You should go back and rest early." Rong Qingqing said, breaking free from her hand, nodding to the other noble ladies, and then walking away with Shangguan Yanran.
“Madam Chen, I have some matters to attend to in my courtyard, so I will be returning now,” one of the ladies said.
"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll head back first."
"Me too."
Several ladies made excuses and left one after another.
Seeing the noble ladies leave completely, Madam Chen was truly furious.
Just moments ago, everyone was surrounding her, trying to befriend her, but now they've all left as if they were avoiding a plague.
Rong Qingqing!
A flash of resentment crossed Chen's eyes.
That little bitch, she really underestimated her!
Rong Qingqing and Shangguan Yanran hadn't actually gone far; they were standing behind a flowering tree not far away.
Shangguan Yanran withdrew her gaze and praised Rong Qingqing, "You are really amazing. Chen must be so angry she'll vomit blood right now. She definitely won't dare to appear in front of you again next time."
Rong Qingqing chuckled, "Yanran, you're too naive. The Chen family won't let this go." Yanran grew up in a healthy environment, and there was nothing unsavory about her family, so she wouldn't assume anything malicious about others.
Shangguan Yanran was taken aback. "She still wants to get back at you?"
"Hmm. She suddenly sent someone to invite me over today, she must have some premeditated plan, but I didn't fall for it. She didn't achieve her goal, so she won't give up. Plus, I just made her lose face in front of those ladies, so she probably resents me now and will want to deal with me even more."
Shangguan Yanran was surprised, "How dare she?"
“A petty person is capable of anything,” Rong Qingqing laughed. “Alright, let’s not talk about such disgusting people. Let’s go for a walk ahead.”
Shangguan Yanran grasped her hand and said with some concern, "What will you do in this situation? Do you need me to talk to my mother and ask her for help?"
"No need, this is a small matter, there's no need to bother the Prime Minister's wife. I can handle it myself. Don't worry, the Chen family can't cause any trouble," Rong Qingqing said, stopping her.
Shangguan Yanran suddenly felt sorry for her. "If anything happens to you, be sure to tell me in time. My mother and I are on your side."
