As soon as they stepped in, many people noticed Fu Rongxin's new face. After all, this face is very outstanding even in Huajing.
"Who is she?" someone asked in a low voice.
"Her?" Someone scoffed, "Madam Xue comes from a merchant family in Linzhou. The one following Xue Zhiyi must be her cousin, right?"
This person had narrow eyes with raised corners. Even though her face was expressionless, she looked a bit mean. She was Zhao Shen's sister, Zhao Lian, the fifth daughter of the Yongping Marquis's Mansion.
"So she's a daughter of a merchant family." Someone murmured quietly, "No wonder she looks so petty. Even though she came with Miss Xue, they don't look like a family at all."
Different from Fu Rongxin's elegant dress, Xue Zhiyi wore a chestnut-yellow and palace-wall-red skirt, a short jacket with intricate Baoxiang patterns, and a headpiece made of red gold and jewels.
Dressed like this, if someone were a little less elegant, they would be as vulgar as Fu Jiamin. But on Xue Zhiyi, it made her look remarkably elegant, even her slightly childish face and sweet almond-shaped eyes seemed particularly endearing.
"Although his manners look a bit stingy, his attire is not as tacky as that of a merchant family."
"What do you know? She was afraid that others would discover her background, so she dressed in all white. She went too far and didn't think it was unlucky."
Listening to these discussions, Shen Qingtang frowned: "What does it have to do with them what others wear? Miss Fu, don't take it seriously. These people are just like that, they always love to gossip. Don't play with them later."
Xue Zhiyi found it a little funny. These people were the ones who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. They were not interested in people but in things. No matter how Fu Rongxin dressed, they would always have something to say.
Not only that, they are also very hypocritical. They say they look down on the money-making habits of the business community, but they don't mind spending the stolen goods and bribes received by their family members as officials.
You don’t have to pay attention to what these clowns say, but Fu Rongxin will definitely pay attention.
Fu Rongxin knew her own identity and considered herself a pearl in the dust, born noble. At this moment, she was probably cursing these people in her heart for being blind.
Moreover, she was not against flattery of the powerful and bullying of the weak, or prejudice against family background, but she hated that she was not the one in the high position. If it was her sitting there today, she would only be more mean than those people.
Fu Rongxin was practically gritting her teeth: What a bunch of blind bastards! When she becomes queen, none of them will survive!
Suddenly, someone else asked, "Zhao Lian, so she is also your cousin, right?"
Blinking her narrow eyes, Zhao Lian said, "How can she be my cousin? My brother just married a girl from the Xue family. How can he be related to a merchant family?"
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at a woman not far away who was surrounded by many ladies.
Zhao Lian raised her voice, whether intentionally or not. "But I've heard that this Shang family woman is the most beautiful woman in Linzhou. I wonder if anyone among you can compare?"
Sure enough, the woman looked in this direction following the sound.
The woman had bright eyes, white teeth, a face as white as porcelain, a beauty as bright as a rose, and a temperament as noble as a peony. Just standing there, without doing anything, was enough to shock people's hearts.
The so-called beauty of the country is nothing more than this.
