Chapter 331 You'd better leave the room
When the ladies heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
Back off?
Doesn't that mean that Madam Liu will never be able to meet the Crown Prince's Consort?
Even though this Crown Prince's Consort is new, the new will always become the old. Even though she was a concubine before, she will be the mistress of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion in the future, and may even be the old lady.
In other words, Lin Qingjun has a promising future. If she could get close to her in the future, she might even ask her for help. But now, the Crown Prince's Consort is blocking Madam Liu's future, isn't she?
Everyone swallowed their saliva secretly. They had to admit that this punishment was too severe.
"Princess Ji, you're really going too far. Madam Liu was just stating a fact. You clearly did confront this old lady. Do you think you should bully me just for telling the truth?"
Lin Qingjun then looked at the lady in the middle. It was she who said that she was vicious and told the other ladies not to be afraid of her.
She curled her lips and smiled. She was familiar with this lady. Wasn't she Mrs. Wang, a second-rank official?
She stepped forward and looked at her. "Madam Wang, I can't accept your gift. Actually, you and I are of similar ranks, so we are equal. What do you think?"
Mrs. Ye's husband is a first-rank official, so she has to perform this etiquette. Mrs. Liu is a fifth-rank official, so Mrs. Liu has to perform the etiquette for her. Mrs. Wang is of the same rank as her, so she does not have to perform this etiquette.
Madam Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Hmph, if it's not possible, then it's not possible. Your gift to Madam Ben is not worth it."
Lin Qingjun's smile remained unchanged as she simply said, "Madam Wang, you said she was telling the truth? Then she told the truth once she found out the facts? That old palace maid said that this prince's consort was late, so she was late? Who can prove that I was late?"
this?
When everyone heard this, they were stunned again.
The palace banquet for Concubine Ning had already started half an hour ago. If she wasn't late, then what was she?
Just when everyone was confused, Lin Qingjun took out the invitation, unfolded it, and looked at it one by one under their noses.
"Please look carefully, everyone. Isn't the time on the invitation exactly this time? How can this prince's consort be late?"
Madam Wang, Madam Ye and Madam Liu stared at the post in disbelief. Sure enough, the time on it was exactly this time, which meant that she was not late.
Madam Wang and Madam Liu paled even more. "How is this possible? Aren't invitations for palace banquets supposed to be uniform? Why is it different with hers?"
"It's a mistake, it must be a mistake."
Not only Concubine Ning's palace banquet, but even banquets in ordinary mansions all have the same time. How can one banquet be half an hour later than another? It doesn't make sense.
However, with the facts before them, they couldn't help but believe it.
Mrs. Wang's face turned even paler. In other words, she was also wrong. By pleading with Mrs. Liu, she was slapping herself in the face?
Lin Qingjun's smile remained unchanged. "Madam Wang, do you still feel that this Crown Prince's Consort is bullying Madam Liu this time? Madams, do you still think that this Crown Prince's Consort went too far by asking Madam Liu to retreat?"
this?
The ladies were embarrassed again.
Just now, they did think that Lin Qingjun had gone too far. He had just told the truth and cut off all of Madam Liu's escape routes. Madams like them always left people a way out. As the saying goes, leaving people a way out allows them to meet again in the future.
But now.
Lin Qingjun chuckled, "This Crown Prince's Consort was supposed to come at this time, but Madam Liu listened to this old palace maid and started to criticize this Crown Prince's Consort. It's ridiculous, after all. Madam Liu is the wife of a fifth-rank official. How could she listen to an old servant and believe him?"
When the ladies heard this, they paused again, feeling as if she had scolded them again. They had been gossiping with Madam Liu, lowering their own status, and this Madam Liu had listened to the words of the lowly old slave. Wasn't that indirectly lowering their status again?
The thin-skinned lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she knelt down and said she would leave first.
Mrs. Wang is a persistent person. Even now, at this point, she is still arguing?
"Lin Qingjun, even if that's the case, you don't have to be so arrogant, right? There are people here who are lower in rank than you, but there are also people who are higher in rank than you. Also, are you so sure that you won't do anything wrong?"
"Oh, Lin Qingjun, it's true that you're vicious. With your unyielding character, please leave the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, lest you become a burden to the entire mansion in the future."
Lin Qingjun laughed angrily.
"Madam Wang, I'm vicious, but it seems you're no better. You're trying to persuade someone to leave after just meeting them once? As the saying goes, it's better to dig ten graves than to ruin a marriage. Madam Wang, you're truly vicious."
"Besides, what qualifications do you have to criticize this prince's wife? You haven't sorted out your own family affairs yet. Have you taken care of Lord Wang's new concubine? That concubine has even dared to act against you. Have you suppressed her?"
It's really funny. His own house is a mess, and he still has the nerve to point fingers at her?
Mrs. Wang was truly shocked this time. She looked at her in disbelief again and instinctively blurted out, "How did you know that?"
But as soon as she said this, her face changed drastically. Wasn't this a disguised admission? She regretted it deeply.
In public, she always used the name of harmony in the harem as an excuse, with concubines and mistresses living in peace, and illegitimate sons and daughters also managed in an orderly manner by her. In the eyes of outsiders, she was not only a dignified lady, but also a very capable lady. But now, Lin Qingjun actually exposed all her past?
She saw the ladies around her looking at her with strange eyes, full of ridicule.
She was furious. "Lin Qingjun, just wait for me. If you fall into my hands one day, I will make sure you are in trouble."
Lin Qingjun chuckled, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
In her previous life, this Lady Wang was so fake. She was not afraid in her previous life, let alone in this life?
She said to the ladies again, "At this banquet hosted by the Imperial Concubine, please be quiet and don't try to make fun of anyone, because no one knows who will be the one being laughed at in the end."
The ladies' faces looked strange again, but this time there was a hint of fear in their expressions.
"...Oh, that was a close call. I was just saying I felt a chill down my spine. Look, even Madam Wang was subdued by her."
"...Yes, yes, fortunately the two of us did not say anything bad about the Crown Prince's Consort, otherwise, we would have ended up like Madam Liu."
The two ladies were glad that they did not take sides.
but.
"This Consort Ji is truly a remarkable person. Did you notice that even though we didn't introduce her to each other and this was the first time we met, she was able to accurately recognize Madam Ye, Madam Liu, and Madam Wang?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked again. Only now did they realize that something was wrong.
