Chapter 668 The Princess's Cold Face!
If Mu Xin Nuan hadn't said those words, Madam Zhang would probably have felt a little better. But now that she heard what Mu Xin Nuan said, she felt even more nauseous.
How old is your daughter?
Next issue?
What if my daughter gets married in the second half of the year?
Although my daughter is not married yet, what if Fu Hongyang falls for her and is willing to marry her?
Of course, Madam Zhang also knew that her daughter could never truly become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family. Having known her sister-in-law for many years, how could she not know her thoughts?
Besides, in terms of status and family background, his daughter was indeed not worthy of the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family.
So what? As long as her daughter marries Fu Hongyang, wealth and glory will naturally be within her grasp. With Madam Fu as her aunt, how could her daughter suffer any losses in the Fu family in the future?
Therefore, when Madam Zhang heard that she would have to wait until the next issue, which would be next year, her daughter would definitely not be able to come out again next year.
Even if she doesn't get married, she should stay in the mansion and quietly wait for a marriage proposal. Why would she be able to go around?
Madam Fu looked embarrassed. Although she didn't know Madam Zhang's specific thoughts, asking Zhang Ruilan to wait another six months was indeed a bit too long.
"Your Highness, do you really think there's no other way to make an exception?"
Mu Xin Nuan smiled and said, "My ladies, I really don't know how you know about the girls' school. There are clear regulations there that anyone who enters the girls' school must first learn etiquette and rules, as well as some basic literature lessons, for two months."
This is the real reason why courses on other skills such as playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting will not begin until next month.
The two ladies were both taken aback and looked at Mu Xin Nuan with some confusion.
"I have already made my point very clear. The girls' school has its own rules. Even if I were to say something now and allow Miss Zhang to enter the girls' school, what makes you think that she doesn't have to learn those two months of rules? I have heard about how Miss Zhang treated Young Master Fu's benefactor before."
Mu Xin Nuan's attitude has gradually turned cold.
Since they came to us of their own accord, we shouldn't blame ourselves for having to collect some interest for Chu Chu first.
Considering that Madam Fu is very likely to become Chu Chu's mother-in-law in the future, she will give her some face to avoid her taking the opportunity to make things difficult for Chu Chu in the future. But who does this Madam Zhang think she is?
Even a lowly merchant's wife felt she had some face in front of Princess Chang Le.
They actually dared to shamelessly ask me for help?
Do they really think that the Zhang family, with the Fu family as their backing, is now a prestigious family in Yanzhou?
That's absolutely ridiculous!
Madam Zhang's expression stiffened slightly, probably realizing that the Princess was in a bad mood, especially when her beloved daughter was mentioned; her expression was indeed rather cold.
"Your Highness, is there some misunderstanding?"
Mu Xin Nuan glanced at Madam Fu indifferently, completely ignoring Madam Zhang.
On the contrary, Madam Fu felt uneasy when she met the princess's gaze, as she felt that the princess was also somewhat dissatisfied with her.
"Alright, I'm tired. If there's nothing else, you two may leave."
If Mu Xin Nuan was relatively polite to the two of them at the beginning, now she was somewhat disdainful of them.
Even Madam Fu could sense the princess's anger, but she couldn't understand what she had done to offend her.
Upon exiting the mansion, the steward of the Prince's residence handed over the gifts brought by Madam Zhang directly to the Zhang family.
"Our princess said that Madam Zhang should take these things back for her own use."
As he spoke, he slammed the door shut right in front of the two of them!
Although the two of them came out through a side gate, they shouldn't have been treated like this, right?
Compared to Madam Zhang, Madam Fu was even angrier, feeling that the Princess's attitude towards her was utterly inexplicable!
He was perfectly fine when he came last time. He invited her to watch a play and talked to her. What's wrong with him today?
Madam Fu glanced at Madam Zhang, who was lost in thought, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Princess Consort had heard about Zhang Ruilan stopping Miss Chu on the street, and that was why she was displeased?
I had long heard that the princess came from a scholarly family in the capital, a family of noble birth, and I suppose she valued the word "rules" the most.
Is it because they think the Zhang family's young lady is ignorant and dares to be rude to Miss Chu in the street?
Madam Fu herself didn't realize that, without her noticing, her heart had turned towards Chu Chu.
Madam Fu suddenly felt a bit annoyed. Without waiting for Madam Zhang or even saying a word to her, she got into the carriage and went back to the Fu residence.
Back at the manor, Madam Fu remained troubled by the matter. She truly couldn't understand why the Princess's attitude had changed so drastically on two separate occasions. Had she done something to offend her?
Only after Master Fu entered the room did Madam Fu quickly put aside her thoughts and help him change his clothes.
"What happened to you? I heard you went to the Prince of Chang Le's Mansion with your sister-in-law. Why did you come back like this?"
After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Fu finally voiced her doubts.
"My lord, I don't know why this is happening. To be honest, I haven't done anything to offend the Princess. I can't figure it out, so I'm worried that my actions might affect your and our son's future."
"You're overthinking it. You haven't done anything wrong. In my opinion, it's just that the princess is dissatisfied with the Zhang family."
Master Fu knew the truth; most likely, the Princess Consort knew Chu Chu's identity, which was why she was taking her anger out on the entire Zhang family.
Even if Chu Chu is an orphan, she is still a member of the Chang Le Prince's Mansion. How can she be bullied like this?
"Does Your Highness mean that the Princess's anger has nothing to do with me?"
Master Fu responded indifferently, "Although it has nothing to do with you, you should still be mindful of your own status, especially that Zhang Ruilan. If she weren't your niece, I would have had her thrown out."
Madam Fu's face paled. She knew her husband's temperament; if he said something, he would definitely do it.
"My lord, I will not let her come anymore."
"Yes, not only her, but also your sister-in-law. You should stay away from her too. She's not someone to be trifled with. You're too honest; you're being schemed against without even realizing it!"
