Li Zhiwei frowned and wondered, could this be another of Xu Heming's admirers?
"Greetings, Ninth Princess Consort." Yao, who was standing to the side, guessed that Li Zhiwei might not recognize the person in front of her, so she quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Lin Ziyi, standing to the side, gently pulled Li Zhiwei along and together they bowed to the Ninth Princess.
"Greetings, Ninth Prince's Consort."
Li Zhiwei never expected that this person was actually the Ninth Prince's Consort.
But if he is the Ninth Prince's consort, then why is he targeting me?
"Madam Xie, Madam Wei, I thought you hadn't seen me just now," Chang Wenying said with a displeased expression.
After all, she had just seen several people from afar, but it seemed as if they didn't see her at all.
In addition, the position of Vice Minister of Revenue was originally intended for her elder brother, Chang Shixiu.
Unexpectedly, Li Tianyou appeared out of nowhere.
Chang Wenying hated Li Zhiwei to the core, and now these two were actually surrounding this merchant's daughter.
Chang Wenying was determined to interfere.
"You flatter me, Ninth Princess Consort. I was just about to go and pay my respects to you!" Lin Ziyi quickly put on a smiling face and said.
In his heart, he cursed his bad luck. The Ninth Prince was not very capable, but his wife loved to put on airs.
In the past, they only didn't bother with her out of politeness. They never expected that this person would actually think she was someone important.
She actually started swaggering around in front of the Li family's daughter. Where did she get her confidence from?
“What Madam Wei says is true. We were just about to come and pay our respects to you,” Madam Yao said, her expression not very good, but she quickly echoed Lin Ziyi’s words.
Li Zhiwei didn't reply, but she knew that this person probably thought she looked down on her status.
However, Li Zhiwei did not feel that her status was inferior to others.
I was just worried about the children and didn't want to argue with this person.
"Miss Li, what's with that expression? Could it be that you think that you, the future Princess An, don't need to take me seriously?" Chang Wenying asked Li Zhiwei with displeasure.
"Please forgive my rudeness, Ninth Princess Consort. I didn't recognize you for a moment, which is why I was so impolite." Li Zhiwei sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat annoyed.
She was still cursing Xu Heming in her heart, saying he was like a butterfly, attracting all sorts of attention.
These people, of all people, came to cause her trouble.
Could it be that she looks like an easy target?
If she weren't in such a hurry to find someone, she wouldn't mind playing along with her. But right now, she really didn't have the energy to argue with her.
"It's not surprising that a 'noblewoman' like Miss Li wouldn't remember me, the Princess Consort. After all, Miss Li not only has a wealthy and powerful father, but she's also about to become the Princess Consort of An." Chang Wenying's words were full of sarcasm, implying that Li Zhiwei was just a stupid woman who relied on her father and Prince An.
She even mocked Li Tianyou for being rich and powerful.
This was also what displeased her the most. She had heard that Li Tianyou had recently donated another sum of money to the imperial court.
So much silver, just like that, given to the imperial court.
Isn't he just trying to show off that he has money?
He comes from a merchant family and is full of the stench of money. Does he really think that he can gain the emperor's trust?
Zhu Jingchen: Sure! I quite like Minister Li's money-grubbing ways!
"Did the Ninth Princess stop me just to say this? Or are you saying that the Ninth Prince didn't rely on his father before marriage, and doesn't consider the Ninth Prince as his god after marriage? Everything the Ninth Princess has today is something you earned yourself?" Li Zhiwei knew that if you were polite to this person, she wouldn't be polite.
