Chapter 26: Poke Where It Hurts
The Crown Prince had a stiff expression on his face; he was embarrassed for his own sister. King Jing was not much better, he crossed his arms with an arrogant look, and could barely hide his bitter smile. His sister really deserved it!
Master Su just felt stuffy and his old face turned red. He glared at Zhang fiercely. Zhang wanted to find a hole to crawl into and didn't care about Su Runhe anymore.
After hearing the butler's reply, Prime Minister Xue already knew the inside story and naturally could not remain indifferent, so he glanced at his daughter. Xue Wanning understood what he meant and whispered a few words to the maid beside her.
[Hahaha, this is still a reversal! The person who set up the trap has fallen into it himself! 】
The system's voice was full of energy. It seemed that the merits accumulated from eating melons were enough to keep it alert for the whole day.
[What kind of reversal? Don’t keep us in suspense!] Su Qianqian stood up as if she was going to appreciate the lotus, but she didn't notice a group of people following her with their ears pricked up.
[The Prime Minister should have found out that the cook added lilies to the roasted meat under the order of the lady's housekeeper.
But the housekeeper heard it wrong. Lilies should be added to the steamed meat. Because Princess Zhaoyang loved steamed meat the most, Princess Zhaoning, who set up the trap, made sure that there was no problem with the roasted meat before she ate it!
In order to make it look good, the chef made lilies into powder and put it into the water chestnut flour dumplings. You can't see the difference on the surface. Princess Zhaoning thought you were talking nonsense by accident!
Princess Zhaoyang was suffering from a weak body and cold. Princess Zhaoning had heard about this from the imperial physician by accident. She had studied it carefully and came up with this method, but she didn't know that she also suffered from a weak body and cold. However, she didn't eat a single bite of the steamed meat and persuaded Zhaoyang to eat a lot!
[Princess Zhaoyang brought this upon herself. Normally, she doesn't like roasted meat, but to prove that you were wrong, she ate a few big pieces of it. Otherwise, she would have been fine. Hahaha, now she's embarrassed! 】
The system laughed wantonly. The Crown Prince and King Jing, who were walking around with them, forced themselves to smile. King Jing folded his arms and greeted the Qin family.
Qin Family: Your Highness Prince Jing, would you consider changing your clothes? Do you know that you can't even maintain basic etiquette?
[Why did Princess Zhaoning trick Princess Zhaoyang? Su Qianqian asked doubtfully, but her eyes fell on the Ninth Prince who was following Xue Wanning.
[Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Zhaoning were born on different days in the same month of the same year. Naturally, the treatment of the empress's daughter and the imperial concubine's daughter was different. Zhaoyang had a sense of superiority since she was a child and showed the emperor's favor to Zhaoning.
Although the imperial concubine taught her daughter to be patient, she always had to vent her inner resentment, especially since both of them had reached the age to get married and Zhaoyang had to choose the best men of the right age. If she made a fool of herself at the Lotus Banquet and Zhaoyang's reputation was ruined, which good son would be willing to marry a princess with a scandal? 】
[I've always heard that Princess Zhaoning is Princess Zhaoyang's bootlicker, praising Princess Zhaoyang all the time. It turns out there is such a secret! 】Su Qianqian nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone: What is a dog licker? It's not what we thought...
[Speaking of bootlickers, don’t you think the Ninth Prince is the one? No matter what Xue Wanning said, he would support her unconditionally... Could the Ninth Prince be the one who came later...】
[King Xiang?] Male lead? 】Su Qianqian widened her eyes.
She only read a few chapters, but she learned about the tragic fate of the cannon fodder's entire family. As for the entanglement between the real and fake daughters and the male lead and the second male, she only read the introduction and knew that the male lead was King Xiang.
[The King of Xiang had a dream, but the Goddess was not interested. Is this a trap set by the author?] 】
The Crown Prince and King Jing looked at each other in shock at the same time, and realized from each other's eyes that they could hear each other's thoughts.
Crown Prince: Father just said in the imperial study last night that he would confer the title of King of Xiang on my ninth brother. How did the daughter of the Su family know about this?
King Jing: #￥@&*, why don’t I understand what you are saying... No, why shouldn’t I understand!
[These are still unsolved mysteries for the time being...]
The system feels a little guilty. It can't eat anyone's melon. The author is the architect of this world, so how can it guess the idea casually? It's good to know where the plot is going.
Su Qianqian snorted in disdain. At this time, Earl Zhongyong came over with little Mrs. Du and his son Qi Mincheng.
[She is coming, she is coming, she is coming with a sad script! 】
Little Du walked towards her sister. Within three steps, tears welled up in her eyes and she threw herself into her sister's arms, her tears falling like rain...
Su Qianqian: Aren’t those young actresses who only rely on their looks and don’t practice their acting skills ashamed?
"Sister, it's all because I didn't teach my daughter well. I didn't know how to control her defenselessness, so that girl took advantage of the opportunity. I gave her a good scolding when I got back.
Wan Niang has lost her appetite these days and has been crying every day, hoping to apologize to her aunt in person. Sister, for the sake of our deceased father, you must forgive Wan Niang. Otherwise, I will go to my father's grave every day to apologize. It's Yun Rou who doesn't want to make you sad..."
Little Mrs. Du was crying bitterly. Earl Zhongyong, who was standing beside her, was trying to comfort her while looking around at the women of the Qin family, his gaze especially lingering on Su Qianqian. Qin Hanzhang's eyes were as deep as a cold pond.
Mrs. Du supported her crying sister and immediately felt sorry for her. She reached out and patted her gently. Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort, she heard Su Qianqian sneer in her heart:
【cut! Not only did he lose his appetite, he also showed off several large pieces of roasted meat and chased the princess to the bathroom? The chopsticks left an afterimage, almost like a whirlwind of wind and clouds! 】
[That's right. She even talked about teaching her daughter a lesson. Qi Wanniang was afraid that she was useless when she returned, so she exaggerated how mean her aunt was to her. Little Mrs. Du was so angry that she almost bit her teeth.
She scolded her sister for being ungrateful, taking all the good things and giving her things she didn't want, and even expected her to be grateful. Otherwise, why didn't she let her marry the old Marquis Wuning! The early death of your husband and son is retribution! 】
The system then makes up the loss.
Old Madam Qin: Bah! How could a vicious concubine like you covet my son? If it wasn't for your sister, when I went to the Duke of Zhongyong's mansion to propose marriage, that pervert you liked wouldn't have liked you!
Mrs. Du seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and she patted her with more force involuntarily, making little Mrs. Du almost choke, and she was sent away.
"Yun Rou, as your elder sister, I don't have much ability. I just married a random husband, and he passed away early. He didn't even take in concubines to entertain me.
My mother-in-law is open-minded. She never sets rules for me. She also doesn't allow me to visit her every morning and evening and feeds me by herself. I am so bored all day long.
His children were so incompetent that it took Han Zhang five years to inherit the title of marquis, and Han Jue only got A grades every year in the Imperial College. ”
Su Qianqian: Mother-in-law, you are really hurtful. You are poking at the place where it hurts Mrs. Du... It feels so good!
System: Can you please not be so Versailles?
"So how can I have the face to blame Wan Niang? Wan Niang is really too good, it's all because of you. You have to teach her well by staying by your side, teach her how not to be jealous or complain, how to help her husband take concubines and wives, how to serve her parents-in-law, how to not fight back when beaten or scolded, how to teach her children, how to be kind and gentle to women like you, who walks through a sea of flowers without falling for a single one..."
"Ugh..." After a strange sound like a chicken being strangled by the neck, little Mrs. Du fell to the ground with her eyes rolled back.
Mrs. Du took a step back and spread her hands: "Oh, sister, what's wrong with you? You don't have to be so moved when your sister praises you!"
Su Qianqian: Mother-in-law, Oscar owes you a little golden man!
