Chapter 272
After hearing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief.
This child was stolen by someone else, and then they picked him up again.
"Now, we don't know if the Grand Princess's residence knows that the child is missing. The children are still young and don't know how to behave. They picked up the child and secretly brought him back. If it weren't for Granny Luo crying when she went there, they probably wouldn't have found out that the child was in the residence."
The old princess looked at the men and said, "It is said that if a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. Today, all the fathers are here. You should also teach your children how to handle such situations. It is fortunate that the children were lucky today and nothing went wrong." The old princess sighed as she finished speaking.
They all lowered their heads. Thinking about it now, they felt a chill run down their spines.
"Yanzhi, where is your mother?" Xie Jincheng suddenly asked again. His son was here, but where was his wife?
"Father, I left in a hurry and didn't tell Mother that she was still at the Grand Princess's residence," Xie Yanzhi said softly.
"The most urgent thing is to send this child back first," Xu Heming said, frowning.
I sighed inwardly. I've been too busy lately and haven't been disciplining my child enough.
That's why when they encounter such a dangerous situation, their first thought is to follow, rather than to go to the adults.
"Father, I did nothing wrong!" Xu Qingshi received his father's gaze, but proudly straightened his little body and said with a smug look on his face.
“Yes, you did nothing wrong. But next time you encounter something dangerous like this, you should go to an adult. After all, you, as a child, can’t handle something like this,” Xu Heming said, patting his son’s head.
Grand Princess's Residence
As soon as Li Zhiwei and Yao Shi came out of the Grand Princess's courtyard, they were surrounded by people.
"So, what did the Grand Princess say to you?"
"Has the Grand Princess said when we can leave?"
"Li Zhiwei, could it be that you, a merchant's daughter, have never seen anything good before and stole something from the Grand Princess?" Chang Wenying said to Li Zhiwei from behind with a mocking expression.
"If you ask me, shouldn't the Grand Princess have invited someone as lowly as you today? You're just a lowly merchant's daughter. Do you really think that just because you're covered in the stench of money, you can be like us just because you've changed your identity?" Chang Wenying mocked Li Zhiwei.
“Ninth Princess Consort, you are certainly dressed in high style. The hairpin you are wearing seems to be an old style from the Treasure Pavilion, right? And your clothes aren’t the latest either. What, do you not have the money to make the latest style?” After Li Zhiwei finished speaking, she deliberately moved closer to Chang Wenying, fanned herself with her hand, and said, “This face powder seems to be just ordinary face powder. How come such a noble person as the Ninth Princess Consort can’t afford to buy the finest sandalwood powder?”
Everyone looked puzzled, not understanding what sandalwood fragrance was.
They had never heard of it before.
Originally, Li Zhiwei had no particular ideas, but under Chang Wenying's constant provocation, she suddenly had a bold idea.
Don't the aristocratic women in the capital look down on her because of her merchant background?
But she deliberately used the very things they looked down on to win them over.
Where there are women, there is a battlefield.
Wherever there is a battlefield, she can hold up a sky for herself.
Women's wars are nothing more than clothes, jewelry, perfumes, and men.
She couldn't participate in matters concerning men, but she was an expert in clothing, jewelry, and incense making.
"What do you know, you country bumpkin?" Chang Wenying was surprised that this small-time merchant's wife could see the problem with her outfit.
At this moment, some ladies looked at Chang Wenying and realized that her headdress was indeed an old style from the Treasure Pavilion.
