The bloody smell in her throat began to rise again. She felt even more dizzy and her vision became blurry. Unable to bear it any longer, she impatiently roared at Madam Zhang, "Enough!"
Mrs. Zhang widened her eyes, unable to believe that her daughter would speak so harshly to her.
Zhang Linghui didn't show any intention of explaining.
Mrs. Zhang is like this. When things are good, she thinks everyone is happy. But when things are bad, she just cries and blames others.
She had had enough.
"What's the point of you saying this?" Zhang Linghui snorted coldly, rubbed her forehead with her hand, frowned and asked: "Forget it, where is my second aunt?"
Madam Zhang felt aggrieved, but she did not dare to anger her daughter too much. She pursed her lips and tugged at her skirt and answered, "She went on patrol with the maids. She said that the Duke and his wife were both out. You fainted, the prince was out on business, and the guests had just left. She was afraid that there would be chaos at home."
fine.
Finally, someone who can get things done.
Thinking of this, Zhang Linghui looked at Mrs. Zhang, and her impatience and complaints increased.
She only cared about new clothes and silver, as if she had fallen into the trap of money. She was so old, but she only grew in age but not in wisdom. She fainted. If it weren't for Mrs. Xu, her family wouldn't even have anyone who could help her keep the situation stable.
Her heart was so heavy that Zhang Linghui immediately called in Nanny Zhang and asked her to invite the Second Madam in. She then asked solemnly, "Did the Second Master personally escort His Highness out?"
King Zhuang must have been furious that this matter failed, and the Crown Prince had to rush to Shuntian Prefecture for some unknown reason.
Thinking of Xu Rui, Zhang Linghui felt heavy in her heart again.
Normally, those secret rumors just made Xu Rui look good and satisfied his mentality as a predator, but when things really came to the surface, he would be a scum who seduced someone's fiancée.
The two are essentially the same, yet different.
Because there are always many hypocrites in the world who are sanctimonious, such as Lord Shao.
Shao Wenxun has always been one of those people who always quote the words of saints. After something like this happened, Shao Wenxun will definitely avoid Xu Rui in the future.
But Princess Chun'an is someone who obeys Shao Wenxun's orders...
Everything is a worry, but Madam Zhang is still crying. If crying is useful, then we should just cry together! Zhang Linghui complained in her heart, but when Madam Xu came in, her eyes lit up and she shouted gratefully, "Second Aunt!"
Mrs. Xu walked briskly to her bedside without stopping, nodded politely but distantly, and said, "Are you awake? If you're still not awake, I was planning to send someone with a name card to invite the imperial physician to take a look."
Her attitude was very different from her usual friendly and easygoing nature. How could someone as sensitive as Zhang Linghui not see that? Knowing the reason, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to curl up her fingers and toes. She bit her lip with a feeling of discomfort and forced a smile: "Thank you for troubling me, Second Aunt."
Mrs. Xu's eyes were indifferent. She had always been dignified and self-restrained. She had never been polite to the prince's wife who had broken off the engagement. Now that such a scandal had happened, she felt that there was no need to pretend to please her nephew's wife. She shook her head lazily, "It's not a big deal. After all, we are also surnamed Xu. We have already become a joke in Shengjing. If there is any more mistakes, I am afraid that my sister-in-law and others will see such a scene when they come back."
This was too obvious. Mrs. Zhang blushed with shame. She looked at Mrs. Xu, then at her daughter, and said evasively, "That was all Xiao Cui's nonsense. It doesn't count. We all misunderstood..."
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, what's the point of talking about it now?" Mrs. Xu was impatient. "My dear madam, I originally couldn't say some things, but now I have to say them. Linghui, I've always thought you were smart, but I don't know where your smart mind went. You personally invited the Desheng class, and now they are causing trouble. You are the future mistress of the family, and you can't even handle such a small matter? The Duke's Mansion has held the Spring Banquet for so many years, and this is the first time we have encountered such a thing!"
Zhang Linghui was scolded so much that she couldn't raise her head. However, in this situation, she was in the wrong and couldn't do anything. She had to lower her head and endure the ridicule. After Mrs. Xu finished scolding her, she thanked her in a low voice and asked, "Aunt, was it Uncle who personally sent His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang out?"
His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang
Madam Xu was stunned and didn't react for a moment. When she realized what she said, she asked in surprise: "Is His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang also in the mansion?!"
She was so shocked that Zhang Linghui was even more shocked. She looked at Mrs. Xu in astonishment and asked, "Didn't Second Uncle send His Highness out?"
"Of course not!" Mrs. Xu flatly denied: "We didn't know that His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang was also in the mansion, and we didn't see His Royal Highness among the guests before us!"
Zhang Linghui suddenly felt even more dizzy. She looked blankly at Mrs. Xu in front of her, and for a moment she felt a buzzing in her head.
Su Yao was not fooled into going to Ting Yunxuan, and he had already left, so why was His Highness silent
She forced herself to sit up straight and hurriedly said to Mrs. Xu: "His Highness said that he wanted to discuss chess with Mr. Chang in the mansion, so the prince arranged for His Highness to go and listen to Yunxuan and Mr. Chang playing chess..."
Mrs. Xu immediately sent someone to notify the Second Master and asked him to go and take a look in person, but her brows were furrowed for a moment.
His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang is of noble status and must not be treated lightly.
Thinking about it this way, what Zhang Linghui caused this time is even more upsetting.
She looked at Zhang Linghui with dissatisfaction, suppressed her dissatisfaction and anger, and shook her head: "I have checked those who took out things today, and asked them to put them back into the warehouse. If you have nothing to do, you can compare them, right? Such a mess, with a big family and a lot of wealth, what will people think of you?"
Zhang Linghui replied with a frustrated look.
Madam Xu stood up and said goodbye: "I still have some things to do over there. If Your Highness is in Tingyunxuan, the Second Master will naturally entertain you well. I have to go first."
They lived next door to the Duke's Mansion, and there was only a wall between the two houses, so it was very convenient for them to travel back and forth.
Zhang Linghui hurriedly stood up, not caring about the dizziness, and hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Xu: "Thank you for your help, Auntie. I will kowtow to you when I have time."
Mrs. Xu Er snorted and refused without hesitation: "Forget it, you take care of it..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Nanny Zhang suddenly rushed in and looked at Zhang Linghui with a pale face.
