The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 421 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
If it was someone else, maybe he would have pretended nothing had happened. Not with A Fei. Its frank nature seems to add oil in the embers of the fire.
" Mistress Jiang. I don't know why, why you've been ignoring me. Maybe I have a mistake I accidentally made? if so, then I apologize to you. Understandably madam, I'm still young so still often make mistakes yet understand as much as you. "
A Fei looked like an innocent woman apologizing. But to those who were intelligent, it must have been aware that A Fei was making fun of Madam Jiang who indirectly said that as an old woman, she acted so petty.
Madam Jiang is getting angry. If there were a thermal camera, everyone could see smoke billowing overhead. His hand hidden under the table squeezed firmly into his handkerchief.
" Daughter's words seemed to corner me. People who don't know will think that as an older person I was carrying a younger daughter. Wouldn't I look bad in their eyes. "
Madam Jiang thought that A Fei would budge and chose to keep his pride as a noble to not trigger a commotion.
Unfortunately what he thought was wrong. Once again, A Fei was a straightforward person. He likes clarity no matter what it is in public though.
" What a bully, you're too much mistress. I just asked about your attitude that had been silent since then. Not only am I aware of it, others are aware of it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the old madam to reprimand you. "
More and more shame is Lady Jiang. A Fei really did not give him a place to hide his face.
Madam Jiang really made a silence. He was at a loss for words to simply reply to A Fei's words.
Then A Fei looked at Old Lady Jiang with a guilty expression.
" I'm sorry Old Lady Jiang. I didn't mean to make trouble at your banquet. Maybe I shouldn't have come. I was not invited from the beginning. If I hadn't been forced by my sister to accompany my sister-in-law. Maybe this mess won't happen. "
" Daughter what do you mean? who is not invited? " Task old mistress Jiang.wishing that what she thought was different from what A Fei would say.
" Of course I am, madam. I came because I was accompanying my sister-in-law. Not because of your invitation. "
A Fei's words again became a slap for mistress Jiang. The old madam this time stared intently at her daughter-in-law due to another mistake she had just known.
" You didn't invite the princess? " Push Old Mistress Jiang to the son-in-law. As much as energy to refrain from raging.
Madam Jiang's silence became an answer. The old lady is getting angry. " Have you not respected me anymore and ignored my orders? I asked you to invite the princess, but why don't you do it? "
" Good, very good. You really humiliated the Jiang family. " Sarcass Old mistress Jiang. Although old mistress Jiang was not up to shout but it was very clear from her tone that she was very angry.
All the guests whispered to each other as if they were humiliating Madam Jiang. Really, never in his life, he was humiliated like this. And the deeper his hatred for A Fei grew. He still blamed A Fei for all the embarrassing things today.
" Mom, please don't be angry. Maybe you didn't intentionally invite the princess. I bet he just forgot and accidentally missed it. " Bai Fulan interrupted. Thinking that this was her chance to appear to be a kind and virtuous woman.
A Fei shook his head then whispered to Liu Ru. " This woman is looking to die. Doesn't he know that parents don't like to be on the sidelines when they're angry. So stupid of him. " Liu Ru nodded in agreement.
But unfortunately, Bai Fulan was wrong. And as A Fei expected, it managed to make the old mistress even more furious.
" Who are you? and why did you call me grandma? " Sinist Old mistress Jiang who had never liked Bai Fulan. That's why he's secretly looking for a woman to be his granddaughter's future wife, Jinfu.
" l-it.. " Pale is already Bai Fulan's face. Didn't expect Old Madam Jiang's response to be like this.
" I've been quiet all this time when you called me grandma just because of my daughter-in-law and in that situation there was only the Jiang family. But it seems to make you misunderstand and think excessively. Miss Bai, as a noble lady behave intelligently. You didn't forget what to call me? "
It was a shame for Bai Fulan at this moment. Been punished like that in public. He wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. He could only squeeze his clothes and bite his deep lips to endure all the embarrassment. His eyes were glazed as if they could break at any moment.
From this A Fei could guess, Old Madam Jiang's nature seemed like her. Frankly, it doesn't matter where they are at the moment.
" Sorry.. Old Madam Jiang. " squeaks.
Bai Fulan's strength held back his tears that almost spilled. I swear by anything, she wanted so badly to cry out of embarrassment. Intent of heart wanted to perform well in front of Madam Jiang her future mother-in-law. He was humiliated like this.
He thought even though the old madam always looked cold to him. There was no way he would humiliate her like this. Who would have thought that the old woman would actually reprimand him.
" Mom, please don't be mad at Fulan. He just made me explain the situation. " Mistress Jiang could not bear to see the helpless appearance of the future son-in-law.
" That's it. I feel ashamed if I have to continue the debate with you. You better sit down and enjoy this banquet and you.. " Pointing old Madame Jiang to the son-in-law. " We'll finish this after the show's over. "
Although the event was back at the beginning, but because of the commotion earlier made an awkward atmosphere. It did not take long until the event was forced to end early and one by one invited guests home.
" I'm sorry Crown Princess, Princess for the mess. I don't know why my son-in-law could do something like that. "
As an old man, old madam Jiang to the point of apologizing, it would certainly be very cruel for A Fei and Liu Ru if it did not accept the apology.
" It's okay old mistress Jiang there might be a misunderstanding here between Madam Jiang and the princess. " Liu Ru thinks positively. Pregnant people must always think positively so that the child always gets good luck.
Old mistress Jiang turned to look at A Fei.
" I'm sure here I'm the one who has offended Mrs Jiang. I'm sorry for that. Also for messing up the Madam's banquet. Please forgive me. " Sincere A Fei said.
After saying goodbye, the two rushed back to the palace.
The chaos began to spread in every noble house. The women who were present started to tell how madam Jiang looked like a clown in front of everyone.
Prangg!
An angry Madam Jiang threw a cup. He was really angry not only at his mother-in-law but also at everyone who had made it a joke.
After the event was over, she was completely exhausted by her mother-in-law.
" It's all because of Sima Fei. The former princess was the source of trouble. " His anger is withheld.
He did not dare to shout those words. He knew how unfortunately the emperor was to his daughter. In addition, her in-laws would also hate her even more if they heard her.
Madam Jiang massaged her head, dizzy. Today was too hard for him to exhaust. Just as he was about to rest, the door opened violently.
Jiang Wu came with an angry expression. The man did not expect to return home from the palace meeting. He was instead welcomed with his mother's complaint about the actions of the wife. And what made him angry was the attitude of the wife to the Princess who would certainly make the Emperor angry if he found out.
" My husband, are you home? " Mistress Jiang welcomed her husband. It was too dizzy to see Jiang Wu's already crimson face. It did not dawn on him that smoke was already billowing over Jiang Wu's head.
" What did you do today, huh? " Task Jiang Wu ignoring the question of the wife.
The old madam immediately understood that her husband already knew about the matter earlier this afternoon.
Afraid of him now. Seeing her husband's anger, made her body tremble. His tongue suddenly fell.
" Speak up! " The impatient Jiang Wu slightly snapped.
" I-I didn't do anything. That princess who is too sensitive thinks I inhabit her. Wasn't I the one to be ashamed of here in the end. Why are you mad at me? "
Still Madam Jiang blamed A Fei. Instead of realizing his mistake, he simply bestows blame on others.
" Don't think I don't know anything. Mom told me everything. A princess who is too sensitive? do not twist the facts and make mistakes. I know you deliberately didn't send the princess invitation when mom told you to do it. That's why you ignored him during the banquet. Do you think I can't read your mind! "
jiang Wu was furious. His wife had gone too far. Shame the entire Jiang residence. What will he say when he meets the emperor.
" Don't you know the effect this deed has on my relationship with the emperor? " This time Jiang Wu asked in a voice sounding desperate.
Madam Jiang who heard it felt guilty.
Ah just realized she. Where has his common sense been all this time?
"I'm sorry my husband. I just don't like that princess who keeps teasing our Jinfu. My proud son is single, I don't want to be with the divorced daughter. "ultimately talk to Mrs Jiang about why she doesn't like A Fei.
" What do you mean? who seduced who? " The frown on Jiang Wu's forehead was very deep. I don't understand what his wife said.
" Of course Princess Fei. I know everything, Fulan told me everything. He sees the princess teasing Jinfu on his mother's birthday. Do you still want to deny it? "
" God... " Jiang Wu is tired. He sat down on the chair then sighed violently.
" You only hear from one person and you just believe. Why don't you ask me the truth? " It was very disappointing for his wife who was easily consumed with sedition.
" l-it... "
" You know, it's not the princess who seduced our son. But our son who likes the princess. He even asked the Crown Prince to send him to Wuyuan province just to accompany the princess on duty. "
" You've always thought Bai Fulan was worthy of our daughter. Is it because he's a distant relative of your family? why don't you understand that you've just been used by him. He wants to get rid of the princess by borrowing your hand. Do you think a cunning woman seems worthy of our son? "
" Honestly if I have to choose, I would rather agree Jinfu with the princess. At least she wasn't a cunning woman like Bai Fulan. I don't know what Jinfu's household would be like if he married a woman like that. "
" Don't you think I don't know, that you've been spreading rumors that the girl is Jinfu's future fiancee. "
Madam Jiang is dead flea. Can't be dodged when her husband uncovers another bad deed.
" Why are you so selfish as a mother. Don't you see our son doesn't like Bai Fulan. You attach great importance to your ego and sacrifice the happiness of your own son. Here the one getting married is Jinfu not you. So let him choose a woman who will be his lifelong friend. "
Jiang Wu got up from the chair. Before leaving, he spoke again.
" This is the last time you do as you please. Don't think that this is just a bluff from me. If you don't want me to take a concubine, then be nice or I'll bring another woman who can make me comfortable. "
After speaking, Jiang Wu immediately left his wife who was still dumbstruck digesting all the words of the husband.
