What's going on
She was puzzled, and the smile on her face stiffened involuntarily. Then she heard Princess Mingchang say mockingly: "Forget it, what's the point of watching a play? We just sang Yu Tang Chun, and now they're going to sing Justice Bao!"
What's going on
The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face froze. Seeing that the other noble ladies were also whispering and walking out, she hurriedly pulled her daughter-in-law to find her daughter in front.
Zhang Linghui clenched her fists, her fingernails had already scratched her palms to pieces, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
Nothing could be more embarrassing than the way everyone looked at her before.
She had never been so embarrassed in all the years she had been married into the Xu family.
It is one thing to know something clearly, but it is another to say it publicly.
If we don't say it, then everyone can just pretend they don't know, but now that it's become like this, there's no room for maneuver...
Her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she almost fell backwards. She was supported by Madam Zhang, and then she called out "Mom" in a trembling voice.
Mrs. Zhang was so distressed that she didn't know what to do. She quickly agreed and supported her: "Oh, what happened? Linghui, what happened to you?"
"Quick!" Zhang Linghui was about to cry, "Catch this girl!"
She pointed at Xiao Cuixian, her face as ferocious as a demon: "Kill her for me!"
She was so furious that she no longer cared about her usual gentleness and kindness, and her discretion in advancing and retreating. She just felt a pain in her head.
The head of the Desheng class was about to cry. Hearing this, he kept shouting, "Madam, this is none of our business. It's none of our business! We didn't know this girl was related to you..."
He was so frightened that he was incoherent.
Who would have thought that Xiao Cuixian, who is usually quiet and seems gentle and obedient, has such a background.
My god, he heard the secret of the Duke's wife, in front of so many noble ladies...
Who will dare to invite them to the Desheng class again? !
Zhang Linghui grabbed Madam Zhang's hand, squeezing it so hard that it hurt. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Mother, she is Hongyue's daughter!"
Red Moon?!
Mrs. Zhang's expression suddenly became interesting. She thought that she should have killed the man ruthlessly at the beginning. Then she thought that Hongyue's daughter appeared here, so did she say something that she shouldn't have said in front of those ladies just now
Thinking of the behavior of Princess Mingchang and others, Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.
After being stunned for a long time, Grandma Zhang San finally reacted and couldn't help but feel angry.
The noble ladies over there had already returned one after another. Mrs. Tian took Tian Rui away without saying a word, and didn't even say a word to Zhang Linghui.
This matter was really handled in an ugly way. Even if you had a quilt to cover up the ugliness, you still had to have the quilt. Now the quilt is gone, who can still act as if nothing happened
Princess Yunzhang also came back. Seeing Madam Tian anxiously pulling Tian Rui away before they even had dinner, she immediately knew that something might have happened, and subconsciously looked at her grandmother, Princess Mingchang.
Princess Mingchang said nothing, but simply said, "Go back."
Princess Yunzhang answered yes obediently, came forward to support Princess Mingchang, and the group went out.
Zhang Linghui no longer had the face to come out and see the guests off. She was supported by Madam Zhang as she staggered. Her mind was in a mess. But at this moment, she actually saw Su Yao coming in from outside. She immediately opened her eyes wide in shock.
Why did Su Yao come back?!
She didn't even go to Tingyunxuan
Due to excessive force, Zhang Linghui's fingernails were broken. A piercing pain spread from between her fingers, and she even bit the tip of her tongue.
Su Yao seemed not to notice the chaotic scene. She even came over with a smile and bowed to Zhang Linghui, saying politely, "Thank you for the invitation, Madam. The grandeur of the Duke's Mansion really opened my eyes. I will always remember this day. My elder brother is still waiting for me outside, so I'll leave first."
Zhang Linghui's face turned pale, and she couldn't even put on a show anymore. She looked at Su Yao as if she had just woken up from a dream, with veins popping out on her forehead: "It's your fault!"
Su Yao smiled without saying anything, turned around and put it all behind him.
Zhang Linghui finally couldn't hold on any longer, she screamed and fell down.
Master Xu and his wife, who had hurried over from the front yard of the Zhang family, had just entered the house when they heard the wife of the housekeeper in the backyard hurried out and say that the ladies had all said they were going home. They were immediately filled with confusion.
Not only were they confused, but the male guest in front of them was also bewildered.
But when Mrs. Xu entered the backyard, she realized what the chaos was - Zhang Linghui had fainted, Madam Zhang was jumping up and down in anxiety, and a group of servants all had different expressions on their faces and were in chaos.
She was suddenly overwhelmed. Although she didn't know what was going on, she immediately ordered several housekeepers to go out and see the guests off. She then asked her people to call a doctor, and also had people settle the actors first and not allow anyone to walk around at will.
After all these arrangements, things started to take shape.
At this time, Su Yao had already left the corner gate of Duke Cheng's Mansion.
There was chaos at the gate of Duke Chengguo's mansion. The nobles were all trying to leave at the same time. Although the alley outside was wide, there were bound to be bumps and collisions, and the situation was somewhat out of control.
Su Yao waited for a while, and only smiled when he saw the carriage with the Su family emblem.
Su Rong lifted the curtain to reveal a face that was still covered in wounds. He smiled when he saw her and said, "Get in the car."
Yan Cao hurriedly helped Su Yao get on the carriage. Su Rong took a look outside, lowered the curtain, and asked her, "How is it, is the wife of the Crown Prince happy with my gift?"
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Seriously speaking, Su Rong did not think there was anything wrong with Zhang Linghui's decision to break off the engagement.
Not only did Zhang Linghui break the contract, but she also used this method to elevate herself, which was unbearable for him.
He hadn't intended to argue with her before, but he wasn't really without temper.
"I guess she's happy." Su Yao thought about it seriously and said seriously, "Didn't she spread the rumors about her abandoning you all these years? If that's the case, it means she's not afraid of people knowing. In that case, the gift you gave her was tailor-made for her. I think it suits her heart very well."
She said these absurd words in a serious manner. Yan Cao couldn't help laughing out loud, but soon covered her mouth with her hands.
Su Rong couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead, shook his head and said: "You are really talking nonsense with your eyes open!"
There was a lot of noise outside, but there was laughter in the carriage. The wind blew the curtains. Su Rong raised his eyes and saw the words "Duke Cheng's Mansion". He curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
