Chapter 87 Confused about the situation
Hearing a sound behind her, the woman in red turned around in annoyance, only to find a woman holding a wine pot staring at her angrily.
Ye Wanning was not dressed up at all today, and her clothes were very simple. She only wore light makeup and looked plain. In addition, she was carrying a wine pot. The woman thought she was a maid from one of the rooms and frowned. "Who are you? How dare you be so insolent here!"
Ye Wanning sneered, her beautiful eyes darting around. She glanced at herself, knowing that the woman hadn't recognized her. She didn't explain anything, but simply carried the wine pot forward, stood in front of the woman, and gave her a dismissive look. "What's it to you?"
"You!" The woman in red roared, grabbing Ye Wanning's hand and glaring at her fiercely. "Ha! How can it have nothing to do with me! I am Prince Jin's woman, so naturally all matters, big and small, in this manor are related to me!"
"Oh?" Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, looking at the woman with a smile. "I only know that the Prince of Jin's mansion has only one princess consort. As for you..." Ye Wanning sized the woman up and down. "I've never heard anyone mention you." Then, she looked at Cui'er. "Cui'er, have you ever heard anyone mention you?"
"No...no..." Cui'er lowered her head and shook it.
Seeing Cui'er's timid appearance, Ye Wanning couldn't help but laugh. What a cowardly girl.
Speechless at Ye Wanning's words, the woman in red was clearly enraged. She shouted angrily, "What a sharp tongue you have! Which shameless slut taught you such a little bitch!" As she spoke, the woman raised her hand, intending to slap Ye Wanning. "Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your master!"
Before her hand could fall, Ye Wanning grabbed it. "How dare you!" Ye Wanning glared at the woman and said fiercely, "We are the Princess's people, how dare you touch us!"
"So what if she's one of the Princess's people!" The woman in red pulled her hand away from Ye Wanning's grasp, looking at her with disdain. "I wondered who it was. Turns out she's one of the Princess's people. No wonder she's so ill-mannered!"
"You..." Ye Wanning gritted her teeth, but before she could finish speaking, she heard a woman dressed rather simply speak from among the group of heavily made-up women.
"Sister Shu, please don't be like this..." The woman frowned, looking at the woman in red with a worried expression, "This is, after all, the Princess's person..."
“Wanzhi, that’s just your personality.” The woman in red, who was called “Sister Shu”, raised an eyebrow and looked at the woman who had just spoken. “It suits your surname, ‘Ning’, which means you have such a gentle nature.” As she spoke, the woman in red sighed. “I’m worried about you. How can you live in this Prince’s mansion?”
Ning Wanzhi blushed and lowered her head shyly. "It's not like that, it's just..." She looked at Ye Wanning, "No matter what, this woman is the princess's person. We've been in this palace for a long time and haven't seen the princess yet. We haven't even met her, and we're already being so rude to her people. I'm afraid they'll blame us for being ignorant in the future."
As she spoke, Ning Wanzhi frowned, "Besides, even after we entered the Prince's mansion, we haven't heard the Prince mention anything about taking us as concubines. In the end, we don't have any official status in this mansion, so why bother..."
"Ha!" The woman in red interrupted Ning Wanzhi, looking at her with disdain. "Wanzhi, is this what you're thinking?" As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Wanning, a ruthless glint in her eyes. "So what if the Prince hasn't given me a title yet?" She raised an eyebrow. "Is there anything I, Shu Ruxue, can't get?"
As she spoke, she suddenly stepped forward, gradually closing in on Ye Wanning, "Even if the person standing in front of me now is the Princess Consort herself, I wouldn't be afraid to say that the position of Princess Consort will be mine in the future!"
"Slap!" As soon as Shu Ruxue finished speaking, she felt a burning pain on her right cheek. She was stunned and looked at the woman raising her hand in disbelief.
The people around seemed to be startled and were stunned, completely not expecting Ye Wanning to make a move.
Ye Wanning narrowed her eyes, her face full of anger. "How dare you! You even say the position of Princess Consort is yours!" Ye Wanning spat. "What a shameless bastard! Who gave you such audacity!"
"You...you...you..." Shu Ruxue was clearly still in shock, staring at Ye Wanning with a bewildered expression, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"What did I do!" Ye Wanning exuded a fierce aura as she approached Shu Ruxue. "Weren't you so confident just now? What? You can't say anything after being hit?" Ye Wanning chuckled. "I thought you were something special. Turns out you're just a paper tiger!"
Shu Ruxue was both embarrassed and angry. Her face was red, and she was about to raise her hand to hit Ye Wanning when Ning Wanzhi suddenly appeared and blocked her way. "Sister Shu, you mustn't!"
Upon hearing this, Shu Ruxue was furious and looked at Ning Wanzhi with great impatience. She started cursing like a shrew, "Wanzhi, why are you blocking my way? I'm going to beat this ignorant slut to death today! How dare she hit me!" As she spoke, she started crying and making a scene behind Ning Wanzhi.
Ning Wanzhi frowned, turned around and shouted at the girls behind her, "What are you all standing there for? Stop her now!" As she spoke, she turned to Ye Wanning, bowed, and asked, "Have I seen you before, Miss?"
Ye Wanning entered the pavilion, helped Cui'er and Granny Sun to sit down, glanced at Ning Wanzhi, and said in a somewhat nonchalant tone, "No."
Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyes brighter than stars. Though she wore no makeup, she possessed a unique and captivating charm. Moreover, despite Sister Shu's earlier commotion, she remained completely unperturbed afterward, demonstrating her extraordinary bearing. Ning Wanzhi frowned. When did such a beauty appear in this manor? She had never heard of her before. Could it be…
Ning Wanzhi was startled and looked up at Ye Wanning in surprise. "Could it be that you are the Princess Consort?!" As she spoke, she quickly knelt down in astonishment. "Princess Consort, please calm down. Sister Shu didn't mean it just now!"
Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow but didn't speak. Seeing the astonished looks on everyone's faces behind her, she couldn't help but feel playful. She looked at Ning Wanzhi with a hint of helplessness and said, "What is Miss Wanzhi doing? I'm not some princess."
"How could that be?" Ning Wanzhi smiled somewhat awkwardly. "The Princess is so beautiful even without makeup, and she is also a person of great magnanimity. How could she be..."
“I don’t have a broad mind.” Ye Wanning looked at Ning Wanzhi with a half-smile. “I just slapped that person!” As she spoke, she pointed at Shu Ruxue.
Pointed at by Ye Wanning, Shu Ruxue felt her blood boil. She broke free from the others and tried to step forward. She stared at Ye Wanning, her face full of anger, "Wanzhi, don't be fooled by her! How could someone like her be a princess! She was carrying a wine pot when she came in just now! She's obviously a servant!"
"This kind of person?" Ye Wanning smiled without saying a word. She tapped the stone table lightly and looked at Shu Ruxue with a hint of amusement. "Miss Shu, are you praising me or insulting me?"
"Can't you tell?" Shu Ruxue smiled, her eyes full of mockery. "But I forgot to mention earlier, you're of inferior quality, so this princess must also be of inferior quality. That's what they call birds of a feather flock together!"
"Oh?" Ye Wanning laughed angrily. She pursed her lips, stared at Shu Ruxue, and suddenly changed her tone, "If I were the princess, I would definitely cut your tongue out!"
"How dare you!" Upon hearing this, Shu Ruxue leaped forward. "A mere servant dares to speak like a master! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm not a Shu!" With that, she twisted her body and began to fight with Ye Wanning.
Seeing this, Cui'er was startled. She was worried that her young mistress would be at a disadvantage, so she seized the opportunity and kicked Shu Ruxue. Shu Ruxue's sisters were also worried that their own family would be at a disadvantage, so they all joined the fight. Ning Wanzhi, who was standing to the side, was terrified that something bad might happen.
Inside the pavilion, chaos reigned. No one noticed that someone was approaching from outside. The fighting inside was intense when suddenly a furious shout came from outside: "What are you doing!"
