But she has an extraordinary temperament, elegant and noble manners, and is not vulgar at all.
"Sorry, I was late because of something."
After Rong Yue walked in gracefully, she went straight to the first seat at the top. She didn't show any intention of avoiding them just because the people in front of her were elders from the Gu family. Instead, she seemed to treat the two of them as ordinary guests. She nodded at them casually and sat down leisurely.
Old Madam Gu's face darkened and she wanted to speak, but Second Madam Gu beside her quickly held her down.
She smiled and said to Rong Yue in a friendly manner, "No, it was my mother and I who suddenly disturbed you. How can I blame you for being busy? But after you followed Fourth Brother to Zuozhou, everyone in our family has been looking forward to meeting you. Who would have thought that Fourth Brother had a beautiful daughter hidden in his golden house and was reluctant to let you meet others?"
"My fourth brother has refused to marry for many years. My mother and I are really curious about what his ideal partner looks like, so we came to see you today. I hope you don't blame us for coming here so rashly."
Ling Yin, who was following Rong Yue, had a gloomy face. The second wife of the Gu family looked kind, but she was accusing her wife of being unruly. She said that she came to Zuozhou but did not visit the elders of the Gu family. Gu Helian and her were unclear and could not get married. The phrase "hiding a beauty in a golden house" was not a good thing.
What Ayane could hear, Rong Yue could naturally understand as well.
She wasn't angry at all, she just raised her lips and said, "Madam, you're joking. I came to Zuozhou for other matters, but after all, you are Ah He's family. I suggested visiting the Gu family, but Ah He didn't want to. He said that the Gu family is just a merchant family after all, and you are all commoners. I have the status of a first-rank imperial wife, so you will have to greet me when you go there."
"Before, when I was in the capital, those officials' wives and county ladies had to greet me politely, but if they didn't follow the rules, they would be accused of insubordination. Now that I'm in Zuozhou, I don't want to bother. The eldest lady and the old lady should understand my worries, right?"
The smile on Mrs. Gu's face froze, and Mrs. Gu's anger rose.
This Rong Yue actually used her status to pressure them!
Madam Gu was not one to hold back her anger, not to mention that she was the elder, so she immediately said with a gloomy face:
"The status of Mrs. Rong is noble, but since you're married to the Fourth Prince, you should understand the virtues of a woman. I heard that you were married early in life, but you kept the Fourth Prince for you and refused to marry for many years. Now that you've come to Zuozhou, you should have gotten married earlier and entered the Gu family to meet the elders. But the two of you are just messing around. How can you let others talk about my Gu family?"
The second wife of the Gu family also spoke up, "Logically, I should call you sister-in-law. I shouldn't interfere in your affairs with Fourth Brother, but the Gu family is also a wealthy family. Fourth Brother's refusal to marry for many years has already displeased the elders of the clan. Now if you continue to do this, Fourth Brother will find it difficult to live."
"and……"
She paused, with a look of apology on her face, but her words were extremely hurtful.
"After all, your sister-in-law is a second-time bride, and she caused a lot of trouble in the capital. Many people in the clan are dissatisfied with your relationship with your fourth brother. If you want to marry your fourth brother and become the mistress of the Gu family, you must be more submissive. Otherwise, how will you survive in the clan in the future?"
Rong Yue looked at Madam Gu's seemingly gentle persuasion, but in reality, her soft knife was stabbing her repeatedly, specifically targeting her sore spots. She nodded seriously, "You have a point."
Mrs. Gu smiled, but her face froze the next moment.
"But who told you that I want to be the mistress of your Gu family?"
"You!" Madam Gu's face changed.
Rong Yue said calmly, "My Rong family's wealth is all in the capital. I don't like the remote and complicated nature of Zuozhou. You don't need to worry about me being embarrassed by your Gu family elders. After all, I don't plan to stay in Zuozhou. I'll be back in the capital in a few days. We may not see each other for ten or eight years, so there's no need for you to worry in advance..."
