Bai Fu's sharp and rapid voice, as if amplified many times over, echoed in the air, making people's eardrums ache. Even Rong Ning and A Ying, who were hiding in the tree, couldn't help but feel an unbearable grating on their ears.
Aying was startled and quickly moved closer to Rong Ning, whispering in her ear, "Your Highness, look, Miss Xie, Bai Fu, and Rong Zi came together."
At first, seeing this, I thought they were quite close, but I never expected that they would quarrel like this after only exchanging a few words.
Rong Ning's slender, willow-leaf-like eyebrows arched slightly, as gently as willow branches swaying in a breeze, while she muttered softly, "Hmph, who can truly understand the reasons behind this..."
Perhaps the three of them got together intentionally to see me make a fool of myself and become a laughingstock!
As soon as she finished speaking, a glint of interest flashed in her beautiful eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.
If it's really as I guessed, that would be so interesting! Just by quietly hiding in this big tree, I could watch all the exciting things that were about to happen below.
Thinking of this, Rong Ning couldn't help but smile, but she still forced herself not to make a sound.
Hearing her master's words, Aying asked with a puzzled look, "But what's so funny about you, Your Highness? Shouldn't they be the laughingstock in everyone's eyes?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Ning found it even more amusing and almost burst out laughing, but fortunately, she managed to hold it in at the last moment.
So he reached out and gently poked Aying with his finger, signaling her to stop talking and focus on seeing what kind of lively scene was about to unfold down below.
If it were in the past, the fourth daughter of the Xie family would definitely have seized the opportunity to give Bai Fu a good scolding, openly and secretly mocking her for not knowing the rules and etiquette.
However, recently, due to the farce surrounding the family rules, she has been deeply shaken and has been locking herself in her own courtyard to cultivate her mind and character. The results have been quite remarkable!
Therefore, when that sharp, piercing roar came from Bai Fu's mouth, it did not stir much emotion in her heart, as if it were just a slight ripple caused by a breeze on a calm lake.
She found this level of yelling utterly insignificant, not even bothering to furrow her brow.
She casually extended her right hand, her slender fingers gently inserting into her ear canal. She seemed relaxed yet lazy as she fiddled with her ear, as if the roar from before hadn't reached her ears at all.
After making this gesture, she casually lowered her arm, a faint smile still on her face, as if nothing had happened, easily putting the matter out of her mind.
After all, the roar wasn't directed at her, and since it had nothing to do with her, there was no need to say anything more.
However, Rong Zi, standing to the side, could not remain so calm.
This woman, who had grown up pampered and protected by everyone since childhood, was someone that few people dared to provoke in the past.
Now, the new emperor has an exceptionally close relationship with her father, which has led to a sudden rise in the status of the Qing Prince's Mansion, making it extremely powerful.
As a young princess, she was always imposing and unrestrained when she went out. She had never encountered such a merciless roar before.
At this moment, Rong Zi's originally delicate and charming face became somewhat distorted due to extreme anger, and her two slender eyebrows, as thin as willow leaves, stood up tightly, as if they were about to burst through her forehead.
Her beautiful eyes were now filled with rage as she glared fiercely at Bai Fu in front of her, like an enraged lioness ready to pounce and tear her to shreds at any moment.
Her chest heaved violently with anger, each breath filled with deep fury, as if a volcano was about to erupt within her.
Clearly, Rong Zi was on the verge of an emotional outburst, and if she were to be provoked even slightly more, she would likely lose all control.
In fact, at that very first moment, Rong Zi did indeed have the intention to be patient.
It should be understood that this is the residence of the Prime Minister, and these two young ladies have extensive connections in Nanyang City. Making an enemy of them would likely bring no benefit whatsoever.
Moreover, with so many young masters and ladies gathered here today, it would hardly be a respectable thing to vent one's temper here.
However, in Rong Zi's eyes, Bai Fu's attitude was truly appalling. Anyone else would have shut up immediately.
In particular, the contempt and disdain on her face was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the depths of Rong Zi's heart.
How could she tolerate such a blatant insult?
Rong Zi has always been a proud person. Apart from being humiliated by Rong Ning, she has never suffered such a great humiliation since childhood.
In that instant, all reason seemed to be completely consumed by the raging fire of anger. She had completely lost control of her words and actions, and began to speak recklessly and without restraint...
She raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes flashing with cold light, and said coldly, "Hmph, you make it sound so easy!"
These days, calling each other "uncle" and "aunt" is so easy!
Just a few months ago, when the Chengen Marquis's mansion completely disregarded ethics and morality and only wanted to send you into the palace to seek wealth and honor, why did no one mention this so-called kinship?
