The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official
Chapter 193 7 The Prince’s Cruelty
The Third Prince was a little unhappy.
He summarized the matter and handed it to the Third Princess.
Check who extended the hand?
If we investigate, we will definitely not find the blame on Gu Ruoxi.
But Nangong Yu and Xie Qingrou were definitely unhappy, as the Changyong Marquis' Mansion had suffered an unexpected disaster.
The Third Prince stood up and went to the outer courtyard to greet the guests. Naturally, the Seventh Prince would not stay either. After all, this was the backyard.
When he stood up, he looked at Gu Ruoxi meaningfully, then at Gu Ruolan, with an unknown light flashing in his eyes.
From the time Concubine Xia pointed her out until now, Gu Ruolan has kept her eyelids drooped except for the moment when Nangong Yu came in and she was distracted for a moment when she saw Nangong Yu walking.
Seeing that the Seventh Prince was about to leave, Xie Qingrou stood up and said:
"Seventh Prince, I have something else to say."
The Seventh Prince raised his foot and turned around to look at Xie Qingrou.
After Xie Daoru returned to Beijing, Mrs. Xie's status in Beijing naturally had another layer of protection.
The Seventh Prince turned around and glanced at the people of the Nangong family, then said to Xie Qingrou seriously:
"Mrs. Xie, please speak."
Xie Qingrou looked at Concubine Xia and Lady Anyuan in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"I don't know how the Nangong family offended the Seventh Prince's Mansion or the Anyuan Earl's Mansion? Today, Concubine Xia insisted on using our daughter-in-law as an excuse. Everyone in the capital knows that my daughter-in-law has suffered grievances since she was a child, and we feel very sorry for her. Now we will do our best to help our daughter-in-law. Concubine Xia and Madam Xia insisted on saying that my daughter-in-law was raised by a concubine and has no education."
"My own family has been wronged, and I feel bad for it, but what is the reason for Concubine Xia to say this? Can humiliating the Nangong family help the Xia family? Or did the Nangong family offend the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"
"If anyone from my Nangong family offended the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the Seventh Prince will find fault with whoever offended them. My daughter-in-law has definitely not offended the Seventh Prince's Mansion."
"So, please, Seventh Prince, give my daughter-in-law a proper name. Our Gu Ruoxi is no longer the child of Ningyuan Marquis. Concubine Xia and Lady Anyuan Marquis should remember the words such as "born by a concubine and raised by a concubine". Don't say anything careless!"
Xie Qingrou's words were powerful.
Concubine Xia blushed and glared at Xie Qingrou from the side.
But Xie Qingrou dared to complain to her face because she was not afraid of Concubine Xia.
The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan was even half bent over.
Not to mention that her level is not as high as Xie Qingrou, she doesn't dare to contradict Xie Qingrou. She dared to say it before, but she was just interrupting Concubine Xia's words, which was like a fox taking advantage of the tiger's power.
And now that Concubine Xia is in trouble, she... can only hope for the best.
As soon as Xie Qingrou finished speaking, Nangong Yu's face darkened:
"Why didn't mother tell you earlier? Concubine Xia dared to say such a thing, it seems that she has obtained permission to be promoted to the principal wife. In this way, her future children will not be raised as concubines. Then we should congratulate Concubine Xia on her promotion to the seventh princess."
As soon as Nangong Yu's words came out, everyone looked at Nangong Yu in astonishment, and then looked at Concubine Xia who had a pale face.
If Xie Qingrou went directly to the Seventh Prince to complain in order to protect her daughter-in-law's reputation, then Nangong Yu's words directly nailed Concubine Xia to the ground.
The Seventh Prince has no princess consort, and Concubine Xia is the only woman in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Her desire to become the Seventh Princess was known to everyone.
She often acts like a concubine, and as long as the Seventh Prince doesn't say anything, no one else can say anything.
So, she might have forgotten that she was just a concubine.
And now Nangong Yu said this directly, and he said it in front of the Third Prince, the Third Princess and the Seventh Prince. This way, Concubine Xia may never become the main wife in her life.
You haven't become the queen yet, but you're showing off your power.
Even if the Seventh Prince came out to defend her, it would be very embarrassing to be called out in person by Nangong Yu like this.
The Seventh Prince's face suddenly darkened and he looked at Concubine Xia. No matter whether Concubine Xia had mentioned the previous events or the Third Prince's wife had mentioned this matter, neither of them had mentioned it.
Now that Xie Qingrou had exposed the matter in public without giving him face, and Nangong Yu had also contradicted him, there was a chance that someone would spread the news of Concubine Xia's affairs to the Emperor.
The Seventh Prince originally thought that he had come here to see Gu Ruoxi and had other thoughts in his mind. Now that he heard this, it affected his overall situation.
The look that the Seventh Prince gave Concubine Xia was not so friendly.
"Concubine Xia!"
The Seventh Prince shouted sternly, and Concubine Xia knelt down on the spot.
The Seventh Prince has a bad temper, and everyone in the capital knows this. If you don't provoke him, it's fine, but if you provoke him, he will never give you face.
The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan, who was following behind Concubine Xia, also fell to her knees with a thud, and lowered her hands to the ground with her face almost touching the ground. One could see that she was shaking with the naked eye.
The Seventh Prince snorted and said coldly:
"You are a concubine, but you are more nosy than me. Do you need to review what kind of daughter-in-law a family marries? Apologize!"
The Seventh Prince sent a letter to Xie Daoru yesterday, wanting to meet Mr. Xie.
I didn't expect this woman to get into trouble here.
Concubine Xia looked pale and trembling towards Madam Xie and Gu Ruoxi. The viciousness in her eyes was not concealed at all, but she said:
"Please forgive me, Madam Xie and Madam Nangong. I said the wrong thing."
Gu Ruoxi could only sigh in her heart, this guy can really let go of things.
I saw how arrogant he was just now. He kneeled down and apologized now, which was just what he said.
Gu Ruoxi felt that she couldn't understand the Seventh Prince and Concubine Xia. They were too cunning.
Xie Qingrou naturally couldn't be too arrogant. She complained to the Xie family in person because she relied on the Xie family's reputation. She also showed her position.
She had to protect her daughter-in-law's face. This was the first time her daughter-in-law came out to meet these people. She was treated like this for the first time. If she didn't bring her own company in the future, wouldn't she be laughed at?
She knew that the simple Gu Ruoxi didn't care much about topics like status, but no matter what, if Gu Ruoxi was humiliated, it would be a humiliation to the Nangong family and the Xie family.
Xie Qingrou had been in Beijing for many years, so she could naturally tell the difference between the good and the bad.
Today she would definitely ask for an explanation in front of the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince.
Now that the Seventh Prince has made Concubine Xia apologize, he has achieved his goal.
Xie Qingrou nodded and said:
"Thank you, Seventh Prince, for clearing my daughter-in-law's name. From now on, who in the capital will dare to say that my daughter-in-law was born by a concubine and raised by a young woman? I will definitely not allow it."
The Seventh Prince had a gloomy face. He was afraid that all his important plans would be ruined by Concubine Xia, so he reminded her not to offend the Xie family.
Look, this messed things up!
The Seventh Prince clasped his fists and said to Nangong Yu:
"Lord Nangong, there's no need to congratulate. Concubine Xia will always be just a concubine. As for her children... hehe, she won't have any children."
