Chapter 75 Arrogance
Madam Cao was so angry she was practically spitting fire. Without thinking, she blurted out, "Where did you come from, you lowly servant? I am the young master's mother-in-law! Aren't you afraid that the young master will sell you to that filthy place if you treat me like this?!"
His words were delivered in a very stern and forceful manner.
The head maid sneered, "I may be a lowly servant, but you're not exactly noble either. And our young master's mother-in-law is no match for you! In this lifetime, you can only dream of becoming our young master's mother-in-law!"
Madam Cao was instantly enraged, wishing she could kick the head maid to death, but unfortunately the head maid was inside the gate while she herself was outside. To kick the head maid, she would have to cross the threshold; otherwise, she would have no chance of hitting her.
However, she absolutely dared not cross that threshold without the gatekeeper's permission. Although she was so angry that she had lost her mind, she still had a sliver of clarity and knew that she could not cross that threshold without authorization.
The head maid snorted coldly and instructed her maid, "Go tell the people at the side gate and the back that this person must not be let in today. I'll go and inform the Princess Consort right away. If she agrees, I'll send someone to tell the gatekeepers to let her in. Otherwise, if she gets even half a step closer to the gate of the Prince's residence, chase her away with a broom! Don't be afraid, if the Prince blames me, this old woman will take full responsibility!"
She simply refused to believe that Shangguan Zhihua, an old woman who had accompanied the princess on her marriage, could do anything to her. Ultimately, it was Shangguan Zhihua's mother who had spoken rudely and committed a grave offense!
Mother-in-law? Her daughter will become the matriarch?!
What kind of talk is that? Any one of those words, if the Princess Consort and the Crown Princess Consort heard about it, would be enough to give Shangguan Zhihua a hard time!
Sure enough, when the head maid returned and told the princess, the princess immediately became furious.
He was furious: "Oh my, I really didn't expect this! She's just a concubine with no title or status, yet she dares to covet the position of the principal wife. What audacity! She's got some deep thoughts. If we don't suppress this woman severely, she might cause trouble in the future!"
The head maid said, "Your Highness, that makes sense, but she's pregnant with the young master's child! Both the prince and the young master are quite concerned about this child. Why don't we wait until she gives birth before punishing her?"
Princess: "Alas, you are right! Nowadays, there are many considerations. I can't forgive her for the sake of Buddhism, but for the sake of my little grandson, I'll let her off the hook for now! We'll settle the score after she gives birth!"
Sigh, Qin'er is good in every way, but it's been over a year since she got married and there's still no sign of pregnancy. Whether it's a boy or a girl, at least there should be some movement in her belly! Even if it's a daughter, it means she's capable of having children!
If Qin'er already had children, then she wouldn't be so interested in Shangguan Zhihua's pregnancy. She longs for a grandchild and is already desperately waiting for one!
When Shangguan Zhihua learned of what her mother had done, her face turned pale, and she was filled with anxiety.
How dare she offend the princess's trusted steward? Offending a servant was one thing, but to say something so tactless was another! If the princess and the crown prince's wife found out, the sky would fall!
In a state of extreme tension, Shangguan Zhihua finally met the chief steward of the Prince's mansion, who was also another trusted steward of the Princess, the very strict Steward Su.
