Chapter 623: Going out without a brain
Zheng Wenshuang wished she could tear off Lu Xiang's smiling face. Her chest felt as if a fire was burning, and in the blink of an eye it spread to her entire body. Even if she tried to suppress it, she could no longer maintain her dignity and elegance.
She lost again...
Zheng Wenshuang felt her self-esteem collapse, and she felt an utter shame and embarrassment.
Who said that Lu Xiang came from a small place and was not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Today, she would lose face in front of so many daughters of noble families and be laughed at. If she was weaker in endurance, she might not even be able to go out and see people in the future. She arranged for people to spread the word that the eighth prince's wife was uneducated and unskilled. Even if the eighth prince liked her much and the queen doted on her, the emperor was unwilling to accept such a woman as the principal wife of his beloved son.
Miss Yu, who was the first to speak for Zheng Wenshuang, was now pale, staring at the chessboard with her eyes as if she wanted to stare a hole in it. After a long while, she said, "How is it possible? Could it be that Miss Lu San cheated? Everyone in the capital doesn't know that the princess is the best chess player."
How could such a noble and proud person lose to Lu Xiang?
As soon as the voice fell, Lu Xiang sneered and looked up at Yu Tong: "Miss Yu, you should speak with evidence, you can't just throw dirty water on me with a touch of your upper and lower lips. Besides, just because the princess is good at chess, does that mean others are not allowed to play chess? What kind of logic is this?"
What I mean is that you guys are willing to praise Zheng Wenshuang and make her sound omnipotent, but in the end you still blame others for being better at chess. This is simply insane.
"I..." Yu Tong choked with anger.
"Who is this? How disgraceful! He actually dares to slander Miss Lu for cheating." Someone in the crowd who didn't know Yu Tong muttered in a low voice, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of undisguised contempt.
You didn't bring your brain with you when you went out, right? You said Lu Xiang cheated as soon as you opened your mouth. Even if you are unwilling, you can't be so stupid.
Who is Lu Xiang?
Not to mention the Eighth Imperial Concubine who was married off by the imperial decree, she was a big hit with the Queen Mother. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Queen Mother loved her even more than Song Zhenzhen. She was really courting death.
"Keep your voice down. You are entering the palace with the princess."
"What's her identity? I've never seen her before?"
"Who knows? He doesn't look like he comes from a wealthy family, otherwise he would have introduced himself long ago."
"The person who was invited by the Queen to attend the flower viewing banquet today is at least the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official. We have never seen her at any banquet, and we don't know how she got in."
"Is there any need to guess? He obviously attached himself to the princess and used her status to enter the palace."
Everyone was talking in a very low voice, and although Zheng Wenshuang and Yu Tong weren't there to hear it, one could tell from the contemptuous and mocking looks from those people that they had bad intentions.
Yu Tong was ashamed and angry, but she was of low status, and she could not afford to offend any of the noble ladies here. She had argued with Lu Xiang, and because of Zheng Wenshuang's instructions, she felt as if she was being stripped naked and looked at, and she felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack to hide in.
Zheng Wenshuang stood up suddenly, turned her head and glared at Yu Tong: "Shut up, Miss Lu San won because of her ability. Am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't forgive you and you still don't apologize."
God knows how much hatred I felt when I said this.
It was obviously intended to make Lu Xiang lose face.
But the more this happens, the more she cannot lose her composure and character, otherwise she will only be laughed at even more.
