Chapter 808: The feeling of missing out on billions
Tang Bao thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but..."
"My sister may not care, but I do!" Before Tang Bao could finish, Princess Huaning spoke up, "The wife of the Yongning Marquis was seeking justice from my sister just now. Now it's my turn to seek justice from her!"
Princess Huaning finished speaking, then looked at Bai Shuxiang and said, "Give him a taste of his own medicine. I'll punish the Crown Prince's wife by making her kneel down and apologize to my sister!"
Bai Shuxiang: “…”
stunned!
She had never imagined that her princess cousin would ask her to kneel down and apologize for a little girl who appeared out of nowhere.
However, this is not the end.
Princess Huaning continued, "Besides, you just wanted my sister to compensate you with health pills and anti-aging cream, so you should compensate my sister..."
Princess Huaning paused and pondered the prices of the health pills and anti-aging cream.
Well, those two things can’t be bought with silver.
"Forget it, for the old lady's sake, you should compensate my sister with one thousand taels of silver." Princess Huaning casually said a number.
For Bai Shuxiang, one thousand taels of silver was naturally easy to come up with.
However, giving it out for free to others would be a slap in her face.
Although, she seems to have lost her face.
"Your Highness, this is unfair." Bai Shuxiang said unconvincedly, "What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. Besides, I'm the Crown Prince's wife, the Bai family's legitimate daughter, and the Empress Dowager's niece. Even if she's a county lady, she's not worthy of my kneeling..."
"Not only was she personally conferred the title of county lady by my father, but she also calls the current Empress Dowager her grandmother, just like me." Princess Huaning interrupted Bai Shuxiang coldly.
Bai Shuxiang: “…”
His face was filled with shock.
She didn't expect that Tang Bao not only treated Princess Huaning as a sister, but also called the Empress Dowager her grandmother.
You know, every time she went to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, she would address her using state etiquette.
Bai Shuxiang was shocked when Nanny Chen came out.
"Convey the Empress Dowager's oral instructions."
With a loud noise, everyone in the Bai family knelt down.
"Bai Shuxiang, the wife of the Yongning Marquis's son, has relied on her power and audacity to wantonly humiliate my granddaughter. Therefore, I punish her by forcing her to kneel before the Fude County Lady and apologize for her crime, and to pay her a thousand taels of silver as compensation!"
As soon as Nanny Chen finished speaking, Bai Shuxiang felt as if struck by lightning.
Everyone in the Bai family was also dumbfounded.
The Empress Dowager punished Bai Shuxiang and slapped the faces of the people in the Bai family.
At the same time, everyone understood that the Empress Dowager knew exactly what had just happened.
Those who originally looked down on Tang Bao broke out in cold sweat.
Nanny Chen looked at Bai Shuxiang and said, "Madam, please obey the Empress Dowager's order and apologize to Princess Fude."
After Nanny Chen finished speaking, she stood there without moving.
It was obvious that he wanted to watch Bai Shuxiang kowtow to Tang Bao, and then go back to report to the Empress Dowager.
Bai Shuxiang was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, but she didn't dare to disobey the Empress Dowager's order, so she had to kneel down in front of Tang Bao.
"……sorry……"
Bai Shuxiang's eyes turned red and tears of embarrassment fell.
Looking at Bai Shuxiang, Bai Shuqing actually felt as if he had known it would be like this.
She swore that she would never mess with Tang Bao again in her life.
Facts have proved that anyone who provokes Tang Bao will have a bad ending.
Nanny Chen looked at Tang Bao and said with a smile: "County Lady, the Empress Dowager said that if anyone dares to bully you in the future, you should tell her and she will definitely help you get revenge."
"Thank you, grandma. I'll go in and pay my respects to you later." Tang Bao said with a smile.
Nanny Chen smiled at Tang Bao, then looked at Bai Shuxiang and said, "Madam, don't forget to send the thousand taels of silver to the Su Mansion."
"...Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's order will certainly be obeyed by me." Bai Shuxiang said with a flushed face, feeling humiliated.
Nanny Chen nodded and turned to report back to the Empress Dowager.
The old lady hurriedly said, "Madame Chen, could you please pass on a message for me?"
Nanny Chen shook her head and kindly said, "Old Madam, please go back. The Empress Dowager said she won't see anyone from the Bai family."
The old lady's face was pale, as if she had lost her parents.
Just as she was about to ask the maid to help her go back, Tang Bao spoke.
"Old lady, take care. The matter of the Crown Prince's wife has been resolved, but our matter has not yet been resolved."
The old lady: "..."
What do we have going on?
Then, I thought about it and had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Miss Su, today's incident is all due to my poor teaching. Please forgive me and don't hold it against me."
After saying that, he knelt down and saluted Tang Bao tremblingly.
Tang Bao quickly dodged to the side and avoided it.
"Su Tang doesn't dare to accept the old lady's gift." Tang Bao said in a clear voice: "But we still have to make things clear."
After saying this, he looked around at everyone in the Su family, slowed his voice, and continued, "Today's incident, in the final analysis, is all because I accepted your meeting gift that day. So everyone in the Bai family thinks that I took advantage of your family, so they want to morally blackmail me."
"In that case, let's make it clear. I don't want the gift I gave your Bai family that day, but I will send someone to return all the gifts you gave me later. From now on, we'll be even."
Tang Bao's words were like a slap in the face to everyone in the Bai family.
Everyone's face was burning.
The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "How can this be possible? Miss Su is trying to kill our Bai family..."
"That's definitely not possible!" Princess Huaning said, "My sister would be at a huge disadvantage if I did that! You know, health pills and anti-aging cream are priceless, and only my father and grandmother can afford them..."
"Sister Ning, forget it," Tang Bao shook Princess Huaning's arm and said, "Among those things, only a string of blood jade bracelets is worth some money. The rest are just some ordinary gold and jade jewelry."
Tang Bao paused here and continued, "I originally thought that after a few days, when I have prepared the next batch of health-preserving pills and anti-aging cream, I would take out some as return gifts and give them to the ladies who gave me the gifts that day. Now that I am returning the gifts, I have actually saved some money."
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, everyone who had given a gift that day, including the first and second wives, almost regretted it so much that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.
How could they know that Tang Bao actually had such a plan!
These people have experienced the feeling of missing out on hundreds of millions of dollars in an instant.
Princess Huaning listened to Tang Bao's words and thought they made sense.
They were just some worthless things! I couldn't let my sister bear the reputation of receiving a gift from someone else, as if she had gotten such a great deal.
Princess Huaning really disdains the Bai family's petty behavior.
If she were to say, it would be an honor for the Bai family if her sister accepted the gift from the Bai family.
"That's fine," Princess Huaning said. "A gift from someone with that kind of intention is not worth accepting."
After saying that, he glanced at the old lady and said, "If you like blood jade bracelets, I have a blood jade necklace that I can take apart and make a few bracelets for you to play with."
"That's not necessary." Tang Bao smiled and said, "Blood jade is not a rare thing. I have several sets of blood jade jewelry."
As Tang Bao spoke, her eyes fell on Princess Huaning's black hair.
"One of them is a flower crown, carved from a single piece of blood jade. It is extremely delicate and would go very well with your dress. If you wear it, you will definitely look amazing."
