The Huang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not recognize Pang Huifang.
When I came in just now, I paid my respects to the Lady of Anping Marquis.
It seems that apart from Pang Huifang, the concubine's daughter, no one else could refer to themselves as "daughter" in front of the Lady of Anping.
The Huang mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a glance and gave each other a bitter smile; what was coming couldn't be avoided.
Back then, Pang Huifang and her mother-in-law forced Zhao Qingyan into a hasty marriage. Now, the Zhao family is a completely different family.
If they want to mess with the Zhao family, they're dreaming.
As the mother-in-law of the eldest princess, Madam Huang naturally had to maintain a certain air of propriety.
In particular, she was granted a pardon and was allowed to stand before the emperor without kneeling. This honor was rare even in the entire Divine Dragon Kingdom.
Since they had already provoked them, the Huang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally couldn't ignore it, and Wang Caixia slowly stood up.
He tilted his head as if searching for something.
"I just overheard someone mention Princess Yan Yue."
What a coincidence! That angelic woman was married into our Zhao family.
May I ask which family this lady belongs to?
Since Tu Gu was transferred out of the capital, Pang Huifang has never returned to the capital.
He was able to return to Beijing this time under the guise of attending the Marquis of Anping's 66th birthday celebration.
Ever since Pang Huifang and her daughter-in-law were reprimanded by the Empress, Tu Gu has kept them confined to the backyard. He has never been deprived of their basic needs, but he has never allowed them to go out.
The situation was even worse when they arrived at their destination, especially since no one knew that Tu Gu's wife came from the Marquis of Anping's household.
For Pang Huifang, who had grown up in luxury, this disguised house arrest was no different from being killed.
She cried, made a scene, and even attempted suicide by hanging.
But that still didn't change her situation.
Last year, Tu Haoyu passed the imperial examination and became a local official, which made Pang Huifang's life a little easier.
Occasionally, I'm allowed to go out to offer incense, but as for shopping, forget about it.
Wherever he went, he was always accompanied by guards.
To put it more bluntly, they were all keeping an eye on her, afraid that she would cause any more trouble.
If we're talking about ruthlessness, Tu Gu is the ruthless one.
He was afraid that Pang Huifang might accidentally ruin their entire family.
Over the years, whenever Pang Huifang caused trouble, Tu Gu would bring up the matter of Pang Huifang being reprimanded and him being demoted and penalized.
Then it goes on to describe how arrogant and brainless Pang Huifang is.
Over time, Pang Huifang didn't really hate her husband, but she hated Zhao Qingyan to the core.
Perhaps because she came from the Anping Marquis's family, in her mind, Zhao Qingyan's refusal to become her son's concubine back then was considered ungrateful.
Especially since Tu Haoyu has never married in recent years, Pang Huifang pinned the blame on Zhao Qingyan.
Having been confined to the backyard for years, Pang Huifang had far fewer informants.
It wasn't until last year, when Tu Haoyu suddenly announced his plans to get married, that Pang Huifang learned Zhao Qingyan had already entered the capital.
Pang Huifang only found out everything about the Zhao family after she went to Beijing.
It's too difficult to cause trouble for Zhao Qingyan, as she rarely leaves her home and especially dislikes participating in various household activities.
The flower-viewing banquet hosted by Lady Anping was a timely help for Pang Huifang.
Especially after hearing that Madam Hou had invited Zhao Qingyan's relatives, Pang Huifang felt that even God was on her side.
Even if she couldn't cause any real harm to the Zhao family, she still needed to vent her anger.
Seizing the opportunity, Pang Huifang couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks.
Who would have thought that Wang Caixia would act unpredictably?
“I am from the Pang family, and the Lady Hou is my mother.”
Wang Caixia nodded.
"Oh, my apologies, so you're Pang. Um, excuse me, should I call you Miss Pang or Mrs. Pang?"
Wang Caixia asked very sincerely, perfectly demonstrating her complete ignorance.
Pang Huifang was caught off guard by the question. In Beijing, when attending a banquet, who wouldn't want to know about the host's family background?
What's wrong with this woman? Is she really from the countryside and doesn't know anything?
“My husband’s family name is Tu, so you can call me Mrs. Tu.”
Wang Caixia nodded.
"Oh, Madam Tu. Madam Tu just mentioned my third brother's wife, and you also feel that my third brother's wife is very outstanding."
Beautiful, intelligent, multi-talented, kind-hearted, and blessed.
If I were to list all the good qualities of my third brother and sister-in-law, I could go on for an hour without repeating myself.
Pang Huifang had no choice but to nod. How could she dare to speak ill of Princess Yanyue?
"The princess's excellence is well-known. I'm just curious, what kind of person dares to marry the princess?"
Pang Huifang wants to bring up the Zhao family's background today.
Wang Caixia nodded, "Fate brings us together even from afar; it's all destiny."
As for our background, to be honest, our Zhao family comes from an ordinary farming family.
It's just that the men in the family were better at studying. From entering private school to passing the imperial examination and becoming officials, it only took them a little over three years.
Back then, our Zhao family was quite prestigious, with seven members passing the imperial examinations at the same time.
There was also a nephew-in-law who became the top scholar in the imperial examination.
This is something our whole family never dreamed of.
If I had known that my children could pass the imperial examination in just three years, I would have sold everything I owned to send them to a private school long ago…
Wang Caixia spoke of those days with great enthusiasm.
They managed to portray their peasant background as if they came from a scholarly family, which also piqued the interest of the other women.
They were all wives and daughters of officials from various prefectures. Which family's children didn't study? Yet, I've never heard of any family whose members could pass the imperial examination after only three years of study.
Being able to pass the imperial examination after three years of study is already considered exceptionally gifted; what kind of extraordinary people does the Zhao family produce?
Not only is it incredible, but it's also something to be envied.
In the face of strength, one's background or social status becomes irrelevant.
At this moment, if we trace back a few generations, which of these people in the flower hall wasn't from a farming family?
Pang Huifang almost wrung the handkerchief in her hand to shreds, biting her lower lip until it bled.
Lady Anping was puzzled as to why this illegitimate daughter suddenly mentioned the Eldest Princess. When did this illegitimate daughter become so close to the Eldest Princess?
Seeing the illegitimate daughter's demeanor now, oh dear, there's more to this than meets the eye; she's clearly looking for trouble.
Unexpectedly, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family was quite eloquent, and surprisingly, she enjoyed listening to her.
If her sons and grandsons could also possess the academic talent of the men in the Zhao family, she would be willing to shorten her lifespan by ten years.
"Fang'er, come to your mother. This fruit is very fresh, try it, it's not often seen in your son-in-law's office!"
Pang Huifang was lost in her own thoughts.
It was only when her personal maid nudged her that Pang Huifang realized it was the Lady Hou speaking to her.
Facing Lady Hou, Pang Huifang dared not be arrogant. Her mother's invitation to eat fruit together was already a great honor for her.
After Wang Caixia finished telling the inspirational stories of the men in the Zhao family, Pang Huifang disappeared from sight.
"Hmm, where are they?"
Wang Caixia thought to herself what a pity. She shouldn't have boasted earlier. Look, she missed the chance to tear her "enemy" apart.
