Inside the Buddhist hall, Madam Su held a Buddha statue in her hand and chanted scriptures.
Granny Wu stood by, serving the lady, and her brows furrowed as she watched the lady's serene and abstinent demeanor.
A moment later, the maid Chunhua rushed in, looking very nervous.
"How dare you! How rude!" Granny Wu shouted coldly.
Chunhua realized she had been too agitated, took two steps back and knelt on the ground: "Madam, something terrible has happened."
"You've been with me for many years, why are you still so reckless?" Madam Su slowly opened her eyes, and with a wave of her hand, Granny Wu stepped forward to help her up and sit down on the chair next to her.
Before the madam could speak, Chunhua began to sob, her eyes reddening: "Madam, they've bullied Miss again. Does Madam really not intend to do anything about Miss?"
"How dare you speak to the madam like that!" Granny Wu knew that Chunhua was concerned about the young lady, but she really couldn't fathom the madam's thoughts.
Madam Su raised her hand slightly, her good temper not bothering her. She took a sip of tea and asked gently, "Is there anything else?"
Chunhua composed herself slightly and recounted to Madam Su what she had overheard at the old lady's place. After listening, Madam Su's mind was not on her daughter. She gave a cold smile and said, "That woman has finally been able to bring the young ladies of the Qian family into the palace. She has achieved her wish."
"Madam, if this continues!" Chunhua was worried for her mistress. Given the current situation in the manor, if the Second Miss really caught the Crown Prince's eye, then Madam's position might be in danger.
snort!
Su gave another cold laugh and said nothing more. Having gotten such a great deal, it wouldn't be long before that woman came over to show off.
Just then, a servant announced from outside, "Madam, Concubine Liu has come to see you."
"Madam!" Chunhua puffed out her cheeks in anger, never expecting this shameless trouble to come so quickly.
Ms. Su put down her cup, continued to fiddle with the Buddha statue in her hand, and closed her eyes.
Before anyone could speak from inside, Aunt Liu strode in with Qian Yingxue. Before coming, she had deliberately changed into a bright red dress and dressed up nicely, wearing all her expensive jewelry.
"It's been a long time, and you still look as aloof as ever. This won't do. It's an important day for the Qian family, and you're always staying here without a care... Hehehe..." Aunt Liu smiled smugly. She didn't believe that this woman really didn't care about anything or knew anything.
Su kept her eyes closed, completely ignoring this clown. She fiddled with her prayer beads and began chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Seeing that Madam Su ignored her mother, Qian Yingxue gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction and forced a smile as she spoke: "Mother, the palace banquet is in two days, but eldest sister's appearance is really embarrassing for father. Why don't you persuade eldest sister not to go?"
"How can you talk like that, Yingxue? She's your older sister, after all. You should be more tolerant of her." Aunt Liu said this, but she was actually quite happy inside. She even secretly glanced at Madam Su, not believing that Madam Su would be happy after hearing these words.
However, Su chanted the scriptures in a low voice, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Seeing this, Aunt Liu was furious, gripping her silk handkerchief tightly. With a smile, she leaned close to Madam Su's ear and whispered, "Sister, just watch me get what I want step by step. I'm sure you won't be able to keep up the act anymore. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Madam wants our eldest daughter to vie for the position of Crown Princess. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister is... tsk tsk tsk..."
Looking up, I finally saw a slight change in Su's usually calm face, but she quickly regained her composure.
