The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1189 - 1012, Doubles
Chapter 1189: Chapter 1012, Doubles
The incident outside the theater was not yet known over in the flower hall.
At that moment, Old Madam An was extremely busy praising An Xin.
Initially, the ladies echoed her compliments, but later each madam spoke only about their own matters, ignoring Old Madam An.
Old Madam An was somewhat angry about this, but she did not consider it too important. What infuriated her was Daohua’s consistent lack of response, that imperturbable attitude that made her teeth itch with annoyance.
After hesitating, Old Madam An deliberately brought up the previous matter of Xiao Yeyang visiting An Residence publicly.
Today is Duke Fu’s birthday celebration, she presumed that the Yan Family girl, even if discontent, wouldn’t dare make a scene at this time.
"My granddaughter An Xin loves painting, which Prince Wei Yuan also knows. He has even given An Xin some tips before. If the Princess Consort doesn’t mind, perhaps you could frequently summon her to the Prince Residence to paint for you in the future."
Daohua looked at Old Madam An with an expressionless face, at this point she couldn’t even bother to maintain a superficial courtesy.
The shamelessness of Old Madam An impressed her immensely; it was as if she couldn’t read facial expressions at all, always playing the age card without shame.
The other ladies present also watched Old Madam An with indescribable looks, each displaying a demeanor of watching a show.
"Old Madam An, is your granddaughter an entertainer?"
Old Madam An was initially stunned, then immediately burst into rage: "Princess Consort Xiao, you are too much! My An Xin might be a concubine-born daughter, but she is still a daughter of the An Family. You actually compare her to an entertainer, you too..."
Daohua interrupted Old Madam An directly: "Old Madam An, it’s not that I wish to belittle Miss An, it’s you who made me feel she’s like an entertainer."
"Didn’t you say it yourself, letting me summon her into the residence as I please."
"Miss An is not a servant of the Prince Residence. If she can be summoned at will, wouldn’t that just leave the profession of an entertainer who performs for money?"
Old Madam An was choked with anger: "You..."
Daohua looked at Old Madam An with a mocking and sarcastic gaze: "Old Madam An, if you want others to respect you, you must first respect and value yourself. If you don’t consider your own granddaughter important, then I have even less reason to do so."
The other madams also lowered their heads to hide the amusement in their eyes.
Princess Consort Xiao truly did not disappoint them; when it came to slamming Old Madam An’s face, she did not go easy at all.
If they couldn’t understand the intentions of the An Family by now, then they would have lived in the women’s quarters in vain for most of their lives.
Old Madam An faced Daohua’s cold gaze and knew that the Yan Family’s girl was unwilling to even pretend, immediately she scoffed, "What fine upbringing the Princess has, truly enlightening for this old woman today."
Daohua’s expression remained indifferent: "Not comparable to the An Family’s upbringing, you’ve already treated your granddaughter like an entertainer anyway."
Old Madam An fumed with anger: "Yan Yiyi, do not go too far, don’t think that just because you are a princess consort, you can disregard everyone."
She said, sneering afterwards.
"Indeed, even the late Princess Consort Wei Yuan, you did not regard with any consideration, let alone an old woman like me!"
Seeing the grandmother going too far, the third Madam An hurriedly got up to stop her, but was pushed away by Old Madam An.
"Yan Yiyi, you are just a jealous woman. Which woman is like you, keeping her man so tightly tied, not even allowing him a concubine. A woman who does not adhere to the ’Three Obediences and Four Virtues’, should just be divorced."
With these words, everyone in the room was shocked.
Daohua was disgusted by Old Madam An’s words, how twisted must someone’s mentality be to wish that every woman should share their husband with other women.
Tearing off any pretense, Old Madam An went all out: "Yan Yiyi, you are uneducated, that’s why you are so utterly without rules. If I were Prince Wei Yuan, I would have divorced such a jealous woman long ago."
The moment she finished speaking, a voice filled with obvious anger came from outside the house.
"Who do you think you are, when has the Wei Yuan Prince Residence’s matters ever been your business, you old hag of the An Family?"
The door curtain swished open, and Guo Ruomei walked in with a livid face.
Seeing the newcomer, everyone’s expression shifted slightly.
Guo Ruomei had never attended the banquets at the Prince Residence before, and this was her first time appearing in public.
Guo Ruomei stood in front of Daohua, her face ashen as she addressed Madam An, "Madam An really has quite the authority. Do you think just because you have the backing of the Empress Consort and the Crown Prince, you can throw your weight around in the Wei Yuan Prince Residence?"
"Yan Yiyi was personally decreed by the Emperor to marry Xiao Yeyang; what gives you the right to meddle in this?"
"I heard your clamoring from outside the courtyard; if I didn’t know better, I would have thought you were the master of the Wei Yuan Prince Residence!"
Facing Guo Ruomei, Madam An naturally felt somewhat intimidated.
There was no helping it; Guo Ruomei came from the prominent Duke Residence, which was much more influential than the An Family.
Seeing that her mother-in-law had suppressed Madam An upon arrival, Daohua’s lips curved up in a smile as she sat back and watched her mother-in-law handle Madam An.
Guo Ruomei looked coldly at Madam An, "You should stay your own noble self at the An Residence. This is the Wei Yuan Prince Residence, and it’s not your place to strut around. Get out, and don’t ever step foot into the Prince Residence again."
Madam An was furious, recalling that Guo Ruomei had already divorced the Bing Prince, and said mockingly, "Guo Family, don’t overstep your boundaries here. Do you still think you’re the Bing Princess Consort?"
"Think about your current status; it’s shameful even to mention. Who do you think you are? What ranking do you have? What right do you have to tell me to leave?"
Before she had finished speaking, a "snap!" was heard as Daohua angrily slammed a teacup onto the ground.
To Daohua, Madam An was merely repulsive and hadn’t truly angered her, but hearing her speak so insolently to Guo Ruomei, Daohua became furious.
Daohua, supporting her belly, stood up and looked icily at Madam An, "Who do you say she is? She is Xiao Yeyang’s mother, the grandmother of my son; in this Wei Yuan Prince Residence, whoever she wants gone, must go!"
"Servants..."
Perhaps too agitated, affecting her unborn child, Daohua couldn’t finish her sentence before the child kicked her.
"Ouch!"
"Yiyi!"
"Princess Consort!"
Guo Ruomei and the maidservants next to her were startled and hurried to help Daohua sit down.
"Princess Consort, are you alright? Please don’t agitate yourself!"
After helping Daohua to sit, Guo Ruomei looked sternly at Madam An, "Madam An, if anything happens to my daughter-in-law or my unborn grandchildren, I will never let you off the hook!"
Daohua actually was not seriously harmed; the kick from the child was not strong but just sudden, making her cry out involuntarily.
However, seeing everyone’s worried expressions and Madam An looking like she was about to faint, Daohua decided to cradle her belly and feign weakness.
Pretending to be pitiful? Who can’t do that?
"Mother, my stomach hurts."
Guo Ruomei held Daohua’s hand tightly, shouting anxiously at the maidservants, "What are you standing around for? Go fetch the doctor quickly." Saying this, upon noticing Madam An trying to pretend to faint, she sneered:
"Stop your pretense here, get out!"
Madam An watched the Prince Residence servants hurrying to call someone, and Guo Ruomei, anxious and sweating profusely, her heart trembled.
If something genuinely happened to the Princess Consort Xiao, the An Family would deeply offend both the Bing Prince Residence and the Wei Yuan Prince.
Seeing her mother-in-law also somewhat scared, Madam An felt truly nauseated, "Mother, let’s leave first."
Meanwhile, Xiao Yeyang received the news that Daohua was upset by Madam An to the extent of causing a scene, his gaze sharp as a dagger towards Lord An, "Your An Family seems to be doing very well indeed!"
After saying this, he quickly headed to the main court.
