The Beloved Imperial Consort

Chapter 77

"Miss, news spread out that his Highness went to the army barracks at the suburbs of the capital. He's specially assigned the commander of imperial guards to perform the welcome rite on his behalf." Hong You bowed her head to stare at her tiptoes, saying it very carefully.

Su Lin Rou turned around stiffly. Seeing her personal maidservant's wretched appearance, she became infuriated, "Get lost!"

Hong You quickly retreated and closed the doors. Her face was filled with worry. Miss had such a temper, how can she get by peacefully in the prince's estate?

"Miss, why are you being angry with a servant girl? It's an auspicious day today. Don't spoil your good mood." Dai momo softly appeased her and passed her a brocade gown of cefei.

"Momo, you've heard her! His Highness disregards House of Su. If not, why would his Highness dispatch a lowly servant to humiliate me?" Su Lin Rou pushed away Dai momo's hand, her expression infuriated.

"When that lady Mu entered the estate as shufei, she'd received his Highness's personal welcome rite. So many well-bred ladies in the capital were green with envy! Now that was my, Su Lin Rou the dignified cefei's, turn to marry over, I've been actually reduced to such circumstances. How would people see me, see the House of Su!"

"His highness's actions aren't something up to you to evaluate!" In the front, sir Su was keeping commander Yan a company, waiting for Su Lin Rou for a long while. Just as he went back to prompt her, he heard his daughter's treacherous speech. Her words brazenly indicated that his Highness's actions were biased. Sir Su quickly chided her.

"Father." Su Lin Rou was extremely fearful of sir Su who has been strict on her since childhood.

"You were motherless at a young age. Father is to blame for being negligent in your discipline and making you grow up into not knowing what's important. At home, you were free to behave a bit more willfully. However, if you keep saying and acting insolently, how are you going to establish yourself?" Su Bo Wen's brows were furrowed into a deep frown, furious that she was such a disappointment.

Seeing Su Li Rou still being obstinate and only know to feel aggrieved, Su Bo Wen silently watched her for quite a while before coldly speaking out," After today, if you make no progress and keep making problems, don't blame father for speaking bluntly and informing his Highness that we, House of Su, don't have such an impossibly stupid daughter." Once his words fell, he threw off twenty thousand taels of banknote and left angrily.

Su Lin Rou looked at the pile of banknotes on the table with astonishment. With a pale complexion, she looked at Dai momo, "Momo, what does father mean? Could it be that he won't ever again care about me, the daughter of Su House?"

No matter how spoilt and willful Su Lin Rou was, she knew that if a woman had no reliance from her parental house, she will get by miserably in the inner yard. After being reprimanded by sir Su, she dared not to make troubles again. She obediently let servant girls help her change clothes and groom her. Half an hour later, she had Dai momo support her into a little sedan chair.

"Mistress, the one in Fanhua Courtyard is probably infuriated right now." Yin Shuang carefully put a hairpin into lady Wan's hair. Subsequently, she withdrew a bit to wait at side.

Wan Jing Wen's left hand gently stroked the tassel on the dangling hairpin. She spoke neither too fast nor too slow, "What's there to be pleased with? The one who slapped her face was lady Mu. It has nothing to do with Jiangzi Pavilion. When I entered the estate yesterday, wasn't his Highness also absent from the concubinage rite?"

Wan Jing Wen got up and let Yin Shuang smooth the hem of her skirt, "Bear in mind that you have to be cautious of your words and actions in prince's estate. Don't let others get something on you."
