Chapter 420: Angry to the point of liver pain
After hearing what Xu's mother said, Cui raised her chin subconsciously and proudly.
Of course, her daughter would not be worse than the young lady of the Duke Cheng's mansion!
No, Xu Muhua's background is not good, who knows what kind of people her biological parents are? Maybe, she is a horse breeder in the barracks, but she was lucky and was picked up by the former Duke.
But her Zhi'er is different, Zhi'er is a proper official lady! Maybe she will soon become the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's family!
Zhi'er was not catching butterflies there on her own whim, but she deliberately arranged it. She just wanted Mrs. Feng who came to attend the birthday banquet to see it. I heard that the cousin who had been living in the Feng Mansion before liked to catch butterflies the most.
Of course, Cui had heard about the cousin of the Feng Mansion. But she had also heard that the cousin was driven away by the second young master Feng, and that her marriage was about to be settled. It was not a big deal.
Besides, she believed that no matter how much Mrs. Feng liked the cousin, she knew the importance of it and knew what maximizing benefits meant.
If the second young master Feng married her Zhier, the benefits he would get would be beyond the cousin's reach even if she was reincarnated a hundred times! She was
very proud in her heart, but she still had to be humble.
Mother Xu just smiled and said nothing more.
Cui's level was not good enough for her.
Not long after they arrived, a servant came to report that Princess Kang and Princess Qingning had arrived.
Cui showed an apologetic smile to the guests around her and went to greet her sister.
Xu's mother and her friends also found a seat and sat down, chatting with the ladies they knew.
Xu Muhua looked around but didn't see anyone she knew, so she just sat there obediently.
Xu Jinyu, on the other hand, soon saw her childhood playmate, and after saying hello to Xu's mother, she ran over and pulled her partner, as excited as a friend who hadn't seen each other for many years and suddenly met again.
Xu Jinyu was a quiet person, and she didn't like to go out or attend any parties. A few years ago, she was almost taken away by a fake guy, so in order to avoid exposing herself, the fake guy went out even less. She
was only occasionally invited to the house of a good friend and sat in the other person's yard for a while. Or when the other person came to see her, they would meet each other. After getting rid of the fake, he has been recuperating. It has been a long time since he last saw his good friend.
Soon, Cui led Princess Kang and Princess Qingning in.
Among the female relatives present, Princess Kang had the highest status. Except for those with high seniority who were still sitting, everyone else stood up and saluted.
Princess Kang has always had a good image to the outside world, and this time was no exception.
When everyone stood up and prepared to salute, she stopped and said, "Don't be polite, today is Madam Huang's birthday, just be casual, don't be too rigid about etiquette."
Princess Kang's move certainly won a lot of compliments.
Xu Muhua was also full of emotion in her heart!
Princess Kang, your husband is dead, your children are grown up, you have status, status, and money. I can't imagine how good this life must be.
Her husband is dead, and she is still young. It is not wrong for her to want to find a man to comfort herself. But she should be careful. Can't she set up a manor outside to facilitate her secret meeting with her lover?
Why did she have to have an affair in the Kangwang Mansion?
Now, she even killed her own son because of this.
She played a good hand badly!
"Why are you looking at my mother like that?"
Xu Muhua, who was watching intently, suddenly heard someone ask this question. She turned her head reflexively and saw that Princess Qingning had sat next to her without knowing when!
The person sitting next to her should have been the daughter of the Shaoqing family of Guanglu Temple. When did she become Princess Qingning?
Princess Qingning stared at Xu Muhua and asked again: "Why are you looking at my mother like that?"
She just noticed that Xu Muhua's eyes were very strange when she looked at her mother!
It was like a sigh, sympathy, and pity!
Princess Qingning had always been holding a grudge against Xu Muhua in her heart and it had never gone away. Now seeing her eyes, she was furious.
Xu Muhua said calmly, "What eyes? Princess, are you seeing things wrong? If you insist on saying that I have a certain look, it must be admiration!"
"No! Don't think about deceiving me, tell me the truth, are you thinking about something shameful in your heart?"
Xu Muhua's mouth twitched.
My dear princess, she is thinking about shameful things, but these shameful things are not done by her, but by her mother. Is she sure that she really wants it and really wants to listen?
If she really wants to listen, it is not impossible to listen. In the future, there will always be a chance to know the truth, but you can't say it now.
"Princess, you really think too much!"
Princess Qingning was so angry that her teeth itched, "Just wait for me! Sooner or later, I will find a chance to teach you a lesson! Don't think that you will be afraid of you just because you become the concubine of the prince's cousin! A concubine is just a concubine!"
Xu Muhua nodded calmly, "Princess, I know that a concubine is just a concubine, you don't need to emphasize it."
If it were in modern times, she would definitely feel ashamed of her identity as a concubine. In modern times, aren't concubines just mistresses kept outside by men? They are even worse than concubines in ancient times!
But this is ancient times!
It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. If she is bothered by her status as the prince's concubine, it will be too unfriendly to her breasts.
Princess Qingning never thought that her mentality could be so good! She
was so angry that her liver hurt!
"You... you are such a loser, you have brought shame to us, the daughter of a noble family!"
She cursed in a low voice, gritting her teeth, "Which daughter of a big family is willing to be a concubine like you. Don't you think you have brought shame to the Chengguo Mansion?"
Xu Muhua looked at her in shock, "Princess, be careful with your words! How can you say that being the prince's concubine is a shameful thing? If you say so, and it gets into the palace, and gets to the ears of the emperor and the empress, what will they think? Then according to what you said, those concubines in the harem are also concubines, you..."
She looked at Princess Qingning with an incomprehensible look, as if she was surprised that she would say such an incredible thing.
The expression on Princess Qingning's face froze instantly.
She, she just... Recalling what she had just said, Princess Qingning subconsciously looked around and saw that no one noticed them. Thinking of the emperor's preference for her, the guilty conscience in her heart was immediately thrown away, and she straightened her back again.
"Don't think of throwing dirty water on me, that's not what I meant!"
"Then what do you mean?"
Princess Qingning knew that she had said the wrong thing, and was afraid that Xu Muhua would not let it go on about this matter, so she could not sit still, so she stood up and walked away without saying a word!
Her abrupt action made the scene quiet.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Xu Muhua.
