Chapter 126 Misleading
Hearing this voice, Aunt Ping frowned.
I didn't invite her, so why did she come?
Wu Weiwei turned around and looked up to see a plump noblewoman walking in with an arrogant expression.
Everyone stared at her, none daring to utter a sound.
None of the ladies who came today were from prominent families.
The noblewoman before them was none other than Xiao Rongshi, the wife of Deng Weishan, a fourth-rank governor of Zhongzhou, and also the younger sister of Rongshi, the third concubine of the Marquis's family.
They secretly heard that the reason why the Rong family mother and daughter ended up in such a state was all thanks to Wu Weiwei.
As for the intricacies involved, they were unaware of them.
Looking at the woman with the foxy face in front of her, Xiao Rong felt a deep hatred that made her grit her teeth.
That day, her husband asked her to go back to her parents' home to borrow money so he could buy her Wei Garden.
Who knew that the outside world would drive up the price of Weiyuan so high.
With 300,000 taels of silver, why doesn't she just rob the national treasury?
Even at 100,000 taels of silver, she thought it was too expensive.
Unexpectedly, Prince Lu actually spent 600,000 taels of silver to buy it in order to please her.
She's a vixen who brings disaster to the country and its people.
Relying on the prince's favor, she sent her niece to a nunnery, and even caused her sister to be separated from her own children.
He is still confined to Yan Gui Lou and cannot leave.
"Aunt Ping, you're really not being fair."
In the past, when you had nothing to do, you would often look forward to me coming over, but today, with the camellia party, you've forgotten about me..."
Xiao Rong said in a sarcastic tone.
What a fickle person! As soon as her sister got into trouble, she immediately distanced herself from her.
She wanted to see if she would still speak up for the Ping family when they asked her husband for favors in the future!
Aunt Ping was embarrassed.
"Madam Deng is too kind. It's just a small tea party. We thought you were a very important person and had many things to attend to, so we didn't invite you..."
This Rong family's younger sister is extremely snobbish.
She would never attend a casual family gathering unless there was someone she wanted to befriend.
But to my surprise, she suddenly barged in today.
Aunt Ping glanced at Wu Weiwei, could it be because of her?
Wu Weiwei looked at the second daughter of the Rong family, who resembled Rong Shi, and sneered inwardly.
If she remembered correctly, her husband, the governor of Zhongzhou, would soon be impeached for a major case, imprisoned by the emperor, and exiled.
Finally, with nowhere else to go, Mrs. Deng forced her husband to give her a letter of divorce.
Then she took her two daughters back to her family, who were wealthy merchants, and asked them to take them in.
Gee...
Although the Rong family took in the mother and her two children, the outcome was not pleasant.
Her two beautiful daughters, who were in the prime of their lives, met an even more tragic end!
However, what does this have to do with me?
She's probably here today to avenge her third aunt, isn't she?
"Hehe, you're right!"
Madam Rong glanced at the people present; they were all wives of minor officials without any rank, hardly worthy of her attending this banquet.
She only came to the Marquis's mansion because her niece had asked her for a favor, but she didn't expect to run into Ping Huizhi's maid going to invite Wu Weiwei.
However, she was just a lowly concubine, yet Ping Huizhi fawned over her like a lackey.
That's truly shameless.
Xiao Rong glanced at Aunt Ping, then turned to Wu Weiwei and said:
"Wu Weiwei, you are a concubine, yet you are not content to stay in the backyard and serve men."
All you think about is making money off your man, don't you have any shame?
In front of everyone, Xiao Rongshi criticized Wu Weiwei without any politeness.
Hearing Xiao Rongshi's accusations, Wu Weiwei laughed in anger.
That Rong Yun is truly shameless.
However, an outsider dared to come to someone else's house and point fingers.
"Madam, may I ask what official position your husband holds in the court?"
"What, are you trying to persuade the prince to harm my husband?"
Xiao Rong looked at her warily.
Heh, if you know fear, then who gave you the courage to offend her?
"I don't even need to whisper in your ear; I'm certain you'll be in trouble within ten days!"
Wu Weiwei said lightly.
"You bitch, how dare you curse me!"
Xiao Rong raised her hand and slapped Wu Weiwei's face fiercely.
When He Yuyan arrived at Meixiang Garden with her maid, she witnessed Wu Weiwei confronting the noblewoman.
She was looking forward to it.
If that woman were to slap her, Wu Weiwei would probably be unable to attend the hunting expedition at Qingshan five days later.
Today she sent Dingxiang to inquire about it.
It turns out that not all officials' families were allowed to participate in the Qingshan Hunt organized by the emperor.
Thanks to the heart-nourishing pills from Wei Garden, Consort Jing specially designated the Crown Prince to take Wu Weiwei to participate in the hunt.
If she is injured on the face today, let's see if she can attend the hunt five days later as promised.
Everyone in the courtyard watched this scene with trepidation.
Xiao Rongshi also assumed that the slap would land on Wu Weiwei's delicate face.
In this way, she could say that she had avenged her sister.
But she didn't expect that even though she was fast, Wu Weiwei was even faster.
Before she could even slap her, Wu Weiwei tightly gripped her short, stubby hand.
Then Wu Weiwei returned the favor without any hesitation, turning her chubby cheek back to him.
Everyone heard a loud slap.
By the time she realized what had happened, a bright red five-finger mark had appeared on Xiao Rong's face.
"call……"
The situation has taken a turn for the worse.
The one who got hit wasn't Wu Weiwei, but the arrogant Mrs. Deng from earlier.
"you you……"
Xiao Rong stared at her with wide eyes, so angry that she couldn't speak.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Did you suffer because I hit you?"
Wu Weiwei shook off her hand, then said to Lingfu beside her, "Lingfu, go back and get me a bottle of Rufeng Ointment."
My hand hurts from hitting it, I need to rub it to reduce the swelling..."
"You, you filthy woman..."
Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Xiao Rongshi was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
She was the one who was hit, and she hadn't even cried out in pain, yet she actually told her maid to go back and get her some pain relief ointment.
What can be endured and what cannot be endured.
Xiao Rong took a few steps back, pointing at Wu Weiwei with a trembling expression: "You just wait, I will definitely not let you off easily."
You, you just wait…
Seeing that Xiao Rongshi had a face covered in five finger marks, she walked away cursing and turning back every few steps.
Everyone in Meixiang Garden was so frightened that they held their breath and dared not make a sound.
They truly hadn't expected that the prince's favored concubine would be so formidable in combat.
Wasn't she described as gentle and timid?
But seeing it today, it seems to be a case of misrepresentation?
Aunt Ping looked at Wu Weiwei, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Is this woman relying on the prince's favor to be confident, or is she truly fearless?
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she hadn't attacked her earlier, otherwise, Xiao Rong's fate would probably be her fate as well.
Shaking her soft, boneless hands, Wu Weiwei felt a sharp pain in them.
Looking up, she saw He Yuyan staring at her strangely from the doorway.
