Rong Qingqing did not shy away from it and looked directly at him.
It is said that Chen was originally a maid who served the original owner's birth mother for a period of time. Later, she climbed into Rong Shiqing's bed and won his favor, which led to her being promoted to concubine. Now she has been promoted to the principal wife.
As expected, Ms. Chen was very beautiful. Although she was over thirty, she was very well-maintained and had excellent skin and complexion.
However, because she came from a servant background, even though she was dressed in fine silks and satins and adorned with pearls and gold, it couldn't hide her petty and unsophisticated nature.
As she sized up Chen, Chen was also sizing her up.
When she learned that Rong Qingqing had broken into Deshou Hall and entered the old lady's room, she was terrified, fearing that Rong Qingqing would notice something amiss. But when she thought of the old lady's condition, she felt relieved.
Anyway, Rong Qingqing won't amount to anything, so let her see the old lady if she wants; she can't change anything anyway.
However, she actually had people block her outside the mansion gate and even beat her own people. How could she easily let this little hussy off?
Madam Chen sneered inwardly. This little slut shouldn't be a widow in the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion. She actually dared to come here to cause trouble for her. Today, she would make her suffer and let her know who is in charge of the Rong mansion today!
Just as Madam Chen was about to confront Rong Qingqing, Rong Qingqing suddenly rushed over, beaming with delight and claiming credit, saying, "Aunt Chen, you're finally back! These old women said you ordered them to stop me from seeing Grandmother. I don't believe it! How could Aunt Chen be so cruel? I think they were clearly trying to slander you on purpose, I don't know what they were up to. I was so angry that I had them tied up and gagged. Aunt Chen, don't you think I did the right thing?"
The old women were originally arrogant and waiting for Chen to teach Rong Qingqing a lesson, with a smug look on their faces as they waited to see a good show. But Rong Qingqing actually said such a thing.
The smug looks on the faces of the old women suddenly froze.
Although they were indeed instructed by Madam Chen to guard this place and not let anyone in, it felt a bit off coming from Rong Qingqing's mouth, as if they were making things up and deliberately slandering Madam.
Sure enough, Chen's expression turned rather unpleasant, and she glared at them fiercely.
The old women were startled and immediately lowered their heads.
Chen felt equally uncomfortable, as if someone had suddenly grabbed her by the throat. For some reason, the words she was about to ask questions and make a scene couldn't be uttered.
But she only paused for a moment before calmly turning to Rong Qingqing and saying gently, "Qingqing, you must have misunderstood. No matter how bold they are, they wouldn't dare to stop you."
Rong Qingqing sighed, "Aunt Chen, you are too kind. No wonder you were deceived by the servants."
Chen's face twitched. This wretched girl, calling her "aunt" all the time, was she doing it on purpose, or did she not know?
She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and changed the subject with a smile, "Why did Qingqing suddenly come back today, and make such a big fuss? Anyone who didn't know better would think a thief had broken in. I almost called the authorities."
Rong Qingqing seemed oblivious to the derogatory tone in her words, and said sadly, "Grandmother has been ill for so long, and I was worried about her, so I came back to see her. But I didn't expect to be stopped outside by these dog servants, who wouldn't let me in. It really proves the saying, 'The servant is too powerful to bully the master.' Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Rong family had changed its name."
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen's expression changed, but she forced a smile and said, "You child, you just love to joke. These servants, even if they had the greatest courage, wouldn't dare to stop you."
Rong Qingqing flicked her handkerchief, seemingly displeased, and said, "What exactly does Aunt Chen mean by constantly defending these lackeys? Does she mean I would slander them? Or is it that they dare to be so presumptuous because they are acting on Aunt Chen's orders?"
Upon hearing this, Chen was startled and secretly glanced at her.
When Yiyi came back last time, she told her that Rong Qingqing had changed, but she didn't believe it. But now, she has that feeling in her heart too.
She looked exactly the same as before, and even her tone of voice was just like that of a spoiled young lady who did whatever she wanted, but her words were clearly laced with a hidden knife.
This Rong Qingqing is both similar to and unlike the Rong Qingqing of the past.
Madam Chen narrowed her eyes, suppressing her surprise. Suddenly, she took her hand affectionately and said, "Qingqing, it's rare for you to come back. Don't let me spoil your mood. Come, let's go to my courtyard. Let's sit down and have a good talk."
