How could the old princess not be worried? When she heard that Cao Wen had intervened, she was so shocked that she even forgot to be angry. She sat on the couch in silence for a long time, with her eyes downcast, wondering what she was thinking.
Nanny Chen was exhausted for her. Seeing that she had nothing else to ask, she winked at the steward and waited for him to leave before handing the cup of hot tea to the old princess: "This time, it's really thanks to that little countryman from the Linjiang Palace... It's also thanks to him... Otherwise, even if it was someone else, I'm afraid Cao Wen wouldn't give him face."
Everyone knows Cao Wen's temper. He relies on his uncle Cao An and is almost arrogant outside. Even the people from the Feng family had to give in to him, let alone other people
In other words, the eunuch Cao An had no son and was worried that no one would take care of him in his old age. Otherwise, who knows where Cao Wen would be staying.
The old princess couldn't suppress her anger, yet she also felt a little helpless and sad.
If the old prince was still alive, Cao Wen would never have bullied him. On the other hand, if he was still alive, Zhuang Feng and the others would not dare to be so bold...
She thought of Zhuang Feng, and a sneer hung on the corner of her mouth: "Where is that evildoer?"
When the old princess was angry, she never threw a tantrum. Usually the angrier she was, the colder she became. Nanny Chen shuddered and whispered, "I was beaten and scolded by the princess as soon as I came back..."
The room was silent for a moment. Outside, Princess Zhennan's suppressed cry could be heard. Nanny Chen looked at the old princess's expression and wanted to send people away. But the old princess suddenly smiled and said, "Let them in!" She then ordered Nanny Chen, "Go and invite the prince."
Princess Zhennan’s eyes were already swollen from crying. As soon as she entered the room, she knelt down on the floor with a plop. She kowtowed to the old princess one after another very sincerely, crying uncontrollably: “Mother… I am too ashamed to see you…”
The old princess raised her hand expressionlessly to stop her from talking, her eyes only on Zhuang Feng: "Why did you chase her out today? Do you feel embarrassed? Do you think that with An An's status, it's high to have a marriage like yours, so you feel uncomfortable being rejected by An An and want to save face?"
The old lady had been through a lot, and her eyesight was sharp and accurate. Princess Zhennan knelt down in front of the old princess and apologized for her son: "Mother, I didn't discipline him well... I will let him apologize to An An later..."
The old princess did not move, nor did she even look at Princess Zhennan. She still looked at the silent Zhuang Feng with a mocking smile: "Who do you think you are? You feel cheap when someone comes to your door, and you feel unwilling when someone looks down on you..."
The old princess had never spoken so mercilessly to anyone before. Zhuang Feng raised his eyes in embarrassment and opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but when he met the eyes of Princess Zhennan, he lowered his head again.
The old princess laughed out loud, which made Zhuang Feng and Princess Zhennan feel uneasy. Then they looked at Princess Zhennan and asked, "Who instigated him to chase after her? Do you know who it was?"
Princess Zhennan choked up and nodded continuously: "Mother, please don't say anymore. It was all my fault for letting the wolf into the house. It was all my fault... I didn't know that Shenglan was so scheming... She even instigated Feng'er to chase after me and tell An'an in public about canceling the engagement, hoping to completely sever the relationship between them..."
This time she really wasn't lying, she really hated Li Shenglan.
The old princess curled her lips sarcastically: "Then how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Princess Zhennan couldn't figure out the old princess's pulse. She looked at the old princess and then at Zhuang Feng. She gritted her teeth and threw Li Shenglan out: "I don't trust such a person to stay with Feng'er. Sooner or later, she will seduce Feng'er and ruin him..."
The old princess held up her Buddhist beads and said indifferently, "Hasn't she been seduced?"
The anger in her heart had only just burst out at this moment, and she smashed a string of Buddhist beads on Zhuang Feng's head with force: "You are so cruel! How do I treat you normally?! How does An An treat you normally?! Even if they are added together, they are not as important as a cousin like you?! After such a shameful thing happened, no one did anything to you, and you are still not convinced in your heart?! How dare you be unconvinced?!"
Zhuang Feng was knocked back two steps and finally came to his senses. Looking at his grandmother who was furious above him, he finally felt a little uneasy.
He had lived a good life for too long, and he had never experienced what his father had experienced, struggling from the bottom to suddenly become rich. So he thought he was really a royal family. Those noble ladies and rich girls in the capital thought he was important, so he thought he was really important.
Only now, when the old princess was extremely angry, did he realize belatedly that other people valued him not because his name was Zhuang Feng, but because he was the prince of the Zhennan Palace...
Princess Zhennan was already aware of the old princess's anger. She screamed and called out "mother" and kept kowtowing to her: "I will discipline him strictly in the future. He will definitely treat An An well in the future. I will also treat An An as my own daughter..."
What these people say cannot be counted and you should not take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you will only bring trouble to yourself.
The old princess lowered her eyelids and saw that the Prince of Zhennan who came in later had already knelt on the ground. She asked him lightly, "What did you say?"
Prince Zhennan knelt firmly on the ground: "I am sorry for you and An An. It's up to you to decide what to do with me."
When the masters started making a noise, the servants naturally tried to avoid them. Only Nanny Chen, who was standing outside the window, could roughly hear what was going on inside and sighed inwardly.
No matter what, the prince still has some conscience.
The old princess hummed, and then said, "Don't tell me, you are the one in charge of this house now, you tell me."
The Prince of Zhennan lowered his voice a little: "Let the princess take Shenglan to Puci Temple to practice meditation for a while... As for Feng'er..." He looked up at the old princess: "He has been spoiled and can't handle the heavy responsibility. But after all, he is my son... Send him to Jizhou first, and wait until his fame gradually fades, then write a letter... He is not suitable to be the crown prince..."
He paused and said, "I'll put Rong'er in front of you to educate her..."
He kowtowed again and said, "Mother, I have always let you down. I knew they didn't like An An very much before, but I was afraid that if I said too much, it would cause them to be more troublesome. You know the situation in our family, the more you say, the more mistakes you make... It's too late to regret now, so I can only try my best to make amends..."
