Hearing how rude the woman was, Yuquan and Li Mama, who had been following her, Jiuniang, and Wu, almost rushed forward at the same time and stopped the woman and the other three women. The other maids and palace servants only then reacted, and their actions of rushing forward were much more rude, without thinking, they tied the man's arms behind his back and forced him to kneel on the ground.
Mother Li turned around with great fear and knelt down to pay her respects, saying, "Empress Dowager, it's all because the people below didn't know what was going on. They didn't clear out all the strangers in the bridal chamber!"
The woman was Zhu Tingfang's biological aunt, Qin. When she was taken down and forced to kneel on the ground, she felt ashamed and angry and wanted to curse. But when she heard Mother Li call her "Empress Dowager" and say that she was an outsider, she felt as if a basin of ice water was poured on her head and she almost froze to death!
She saw that the old woman in the lead was not young, but was dressed simply, and she didn't wear a crown like the Xiaozhu Qingyun Crown on her head. She was definitely not from a wealthy family. What's more, Wu, who was supporting people, was not as well dressed as her, and Jiu Niang was just one step behind her. She didn't see clearly, so she lost her mind in anger and didn't expect to offend the empress dowager!
Qin was so frightened that her soul flew out of her body. Her daughter-in-law and two daughters were so frightened that they huddled together, not to mention speaking. They dared not even move or raise their heads. They could not help but blame and even curse Qin in their hearts. She was used to being the boss at home, but she was so arrogant in the mansion of Duke Zhao. Wasn't this asking for trouble
"There is indeed no such thing as not recognizing relatives just because they are rich and powerful, but the prerequisite is that the so-called relatives must be sensible."
When the empress dowager said this leisurely, Zhu Ying just heard the voice and came out of the main room. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned at first, and then she rushed forward with joy. Seeing Jiu Niang smiling and making way for her, she nodded to Wu first, and then took the opportunity to hug the empress dowager's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Empress Dowager, it turns out you are here! This is a huge surprise. I have been in the palace before, but you didn't tell me in advance! You see, my brother's marriage has been talked about since it was decided, and even today, some old friends and relatives are here to show off! If they knew you were coming, who would dare to be so rude!"
As she spoke, she did not even look at Qin who was lying on the ground. She directly invited the Queen Mother into the room, but then she looked at Wu who was standing beside her and said, "Aunt Wu, you haven't met my sister-in-law yet, right? We will all be a family in the future, so why not meet her now? She is not like me who is explosive. She is gentle and quiet. Well, she just has a good temper, so she was bullied just now..."
Qin, her daughter-in-law and daughter, who were kneeling on the ground, were almost mad with anger. What does gentleness and demureness mean... Did Zhu Ying have any misunderstanding about the term gentleness and demureness? Just now, Zhang smiled on the surface and spoke in a gentle tone, but in fact, she was a woman with a black heart and black lungs!
After all, she is the daughter of Weinanbo, a rude and uncivilized northern barbarian!
However, no matter how many complaints they had, they dared not speak out, and could only watch the Queen Mother, Zhu Ying, and Wu disappear into the door. When the person who had just twisted their arms finally let go, the four of them finally straightened up and raised their heads, but what they saw was Jiu Niang's face with a faint smile.
