Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1481 - 1419: Only Worse to Come

Madam Wang couldn’t care less, she lightly applied some pale powder on her face and went to the Old Madam’s courtyard. After explaining the situation to the two sisters-in-law, she hurriedly took Wu Yining out of the Wu Residence and headed to Prince Wei’s Manor.

As she said, she had no choice—even if she had to be carried there, she had to crawl to Prince Wei’s Manor to apologize and explain, or else if Prince Wei’s Manor and Princess Ping Xi blamed the Wu Family, it would be a big problem.

The two sisters-in-law didn’t approve of this big sister-in-law’s actions and even had some blame; after all, the recent troubles in the Wu Family were all caused by the first house, and even going out would attract strange looks.

"Second sister-in-law, the first house’s actions are becoming more and more unreasonable, following the eldest brother’s conduct. I don’t know what will happen in the future." Lady Liu from the third house said to Lady Tong from the second house, "This family is becoming more difficult."

Lady Tong looked pregnant and glanced at the third house’s wife, saying: "Talking about family is pointless."

"I feel bad for you, second sister-in-law; clearly, the second brother is also a fifth-rank official. If we get implicated in this mess, it would truly be a loss." Lady Liu glanced at her slightly protruding belly and said, "Your second house is also expanding, isn’t it? The Wu Residence can no longer accommodate us all."

Lady Tong squinted her eyes, her gaze sharp like an arrow aimed at Lady Liu.

Lady Liu smoothed her hair at the temples, stood up, and walked out. Her voice faintly came through, "When the tree grows big, its branches spread..."

Lady Tong rubbed her brow sharply, her gaze deep and somber.

Meanwhile, Madam Wang was unaware that her two sisters-in-law were plotting rebellion behind her back. She and Wu Yining were waiting at the side door of Prince Wei’s Manor, endlessly instructing Wu Yining.

Wu Yining was a bit impatient, saying: "Mother, stop. I know what to do. When I meet Princess Ping Xi, I will definitely bow and scrape before her, that should be enough."

Madam Wang detected her impatience and in anger slapped her: "Can’t you be more mindful? If you offend Princess Ping Xi, how will you survive in the circle of noble ladies? Your father has caused enough trouble, and now the family isn’t what it used to be. If Princess Ping Xi finds ill with you, who will want to associate with you?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"It’s not my fault." Wu Yining pouted, saying: "Father and you can’t even handle those two dishonorable people, how could you blame me!"

Madam Wang opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t disclose that Wu Lihong and Madam Zhou were dealing with the marriage certificate separation today.

She felt a headache; how did everything pile up in one day?

"Madam." Nanny Wei approached the carriage with a troubled face.

"How is it?" Madam Wang quickly snapped to attention.

Nanny Wei frowned and said: "Princess Ping Xi is not seeing any guests."

Madam Wang’s body trembled, her vision going black. Lips trembling: "What about Princess Consort Wei?"

Nanny Wei shook her head.

Wu Yining exclaimed anxiously: "Nanny Wei, didn’t you tell them I was here?"

Nanny Wei glanced at Wu Yining, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes, and said: "The gatekeeper said that Princess Ping Xi ordered, if you come to the door, block you from entering."

Wu Yining’s face turned pale, saying: "That’s impossible, I’m going to ask the Princess myself."

She hurried to jump out of the carriage, Madam Wang quickly pulling her: "Ningning, don’t be reckless."

"Mother, let go, didn’t you say you wanted me to apologize to her? That I must please her? I’m going now!" Wu Yining anxiously tried to pry her hand away.

"Silence." Madam Wang harshly reprimanded, saying: "The Princess is in a rage, if she won’t see you, and you provoke her, wouldn’t it be like adding fuel to the fire?"

Wu Yining froze.

Madam Wang said to Nanny Wei: "Send the gifts to the Manor, tell them it’s to calm the Princess’s nerves, and we’ll head back first."

Her face was filled with fatigue and undissolvable worry. There’s no worst, only worse. If even the Princess finds fault with them, what future do they have?
