I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 277: Startling by Each Step 9 (14)

When Eleventh Lady heard Eighth Brother's sister-in-law curse her husband right out of the blue, she was so angry that she wanted to whip her stinky mouth with the whip she carried with her on the spot!

How could it be possible that her husband, who was so good, so perfect, and so keen on health preservation, passed away at such a young age?

When Ruolan heard Ruoxi's words, she knew that she was in trouble. She quickly scolded Ruoxi and then asked Ruoxi to apologize to the Eleventh Lady.

Ruoxi still didn't understand why. She had been here for so long, and up to now, she had been mostly active in the Eighth Master's residence. So, even though the Ninth Master rarely appeared among the people who usually came to the Eighth Master's residence, she just thought that the Venomous Snake District 9 was busy with money and didn't notice much change.

What I just said was simply because life has been so smooth since I came here that I didn't think before speaking.

But no matter why Eleven is still alive and well, and what the situation is now, Ruoxi realized that she was wrong when she realized that she was asking someone's husband why he was not dead in front of his wife.

Under the leadership of Minghui and Ruolan, she sincerely apologized to the Eleventh Lady.

That’s right, Minghui was among those who apologized to the Eleventh Concubine.

There was no other way. The banquet was held in the Eighth Master's Mansion today. No matter what, Ruoxi was now considered a member of their Eighth Master's Mansion. No matter how she was punished for her outspokenness, she was now the mistress of the Eighth Master's Mansion and had to bear the leadership responsibility.

After all, today is the Tenth Prince's big day, and the guests coming here are all of the most distinguished. The Eleventh Lady cannot make a scene in this occasion just because of a little girl's words.

What's more, the wife of the first wife, the concubine and the culprit in the mansion all came to apologize to her. The other sisters-in-law around were also trying to persuade her, but the Eleventh Wife said a few words to Ruoxi with a stern face and didn't look at her again.

This matter barely passed like this.

After that, Ruoxi, knowing that she had caused trouble, did not dare to approach other female relatives anymore, and Ruolan did not dare to introduce other female relatives to her anymore, for they were really afraid of her mouth that could explode at any time.

It's not that she is snobbish, but she is also glad that the person Ruoxi offended today was the Eleventh Master, who had little real power and a good temper. If Ruoxi had said this in front of the Crown Princess, she was afraid that Ruoxi would have to walk out of the banquet today.

Needless to say, the women will definitely complain to their husbands when they go back. The Eleventh Master is easy-going and may not bother with a little girl like Ruoxi. But the Crown Prince is not a good-tempered person. Although he has restrained his temper in recent years, the arrogance in his bones has never changed.

It was not easy to teach Ruoxi a lesson with so many people at the banquet, so Ruolan just asked her to sit down and stop offending people. Ruoxi was indeed a little scared after what happened. If her sister hadn't stopped her, the Eleventh Lady's whip would have almost hit her in the face. She finally felt a little afraid.

As for Guo Luo and Luo Mingyu, at first they felt happy to see Ruoxi suffer a setback. But when they saw that it was Ruoxi who made the mistake, but her sister had to apologize to the Eleventh Lady, they felt aggrieved.

"Troublemaker!" Mingyu cursed Ruoxi in a low voice. Ruoxi glared and was about to quarrel with Mingyu again when there was a noise in front of her - the most honorable prince among all the princes, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess came on stage as the finale.

Now the two of them dared not make trouble anymore, and everyone knelt together to welcome the Crown Prince and his wife.

After the brothers greeted each other, the prince was the first to present his birthday gift to the tenth brother.

Of course, the crown prince, who had not been reduced in intelligence, would not privately embezzle the tribute as a birthday gift for the tenth prince.

What a joke. Does he seem to have a good relationship with Lao Shi? Why would he make such a big mistake for a brother he barely knows?

He's not crazy!

What's more, things like sending birthday gifts are generally considered as interpersonal relationships, which fall within the scope of social interaction for female family members.

It was usually the Crown Princess' job to decide what gifts to send to which families. If it was something grand or important, such as the birthday gift for Emperor Kangxi and the 1000-year-old birthday gift for the Empress Dowager, at most the Crown Princess would bring the gift list to the Crown Prince to see if there was anything that needed to be added or subtracted. The Crown Prince generally didn't need to worry about these birthday gifts himself.

When there was no legitimate son, the Crown Princess was devoted to managing all the interpersonal relationships for the Crown Prince, not to mention that they now have three legitimate sons. If she doesn't consider her husband, she must also worry about her son's future.

Even if the Crown Prince lost his mind, a virtuous woman like the Crown Princess would definitely stop his foolish actions.

Therefore, although the gift from the prince this time was not a tribute like the jade ruyi, it was also luxurious and valuable, and included things that the tenth prince liked. It was not too outstanding, but it was also thoughtful.

After the birthday gifts were delivered, the play on the stage started again. The men were competing in drinking; the women... the Eighth Lady left on the pretext of feeling unwell. After all, the Tenth Master personally asked the Concubine to hold a birthday banquet for him. If Minghui stayed, she would be competing with the Concubine in public.

No matter how much trouble there was at home, Minghui didn't want others to laugh at the joke of the Eighth Master's house, so she took the initiative to back off.

The Fifth and Seventh Furen, who also had doted on their concubines and acted tyrannically in the mansion, saw that the Eighth Furen was acting like this and felt that the Eighth Furen's present day might be their future.

The Seventh Concubine's family background is stronger, and she can fight back and forth with the Concubine in the mansion. However, the Fifth Concubine couldn't help feeling sad when she saw the Eighth Concubine's forbearance and concession.

My eighth brother's wife's family background is so strong, but she has ended up like this. What about her? She only has a good surname, so what is her future? After so many years of marriage, she has never had a child, so what will her future be like?

Because of Ruoxi's previous curse on the Eleventh Master and the Eighth Lady's actions, the atmosphere at Lingrong and the others' table was really depressing.

They could hear the noisy sounds of the men drinking and laughing next door, but the women were so silent that it was a little eerie.

But Ruoxi didn't seem to understand the atmosphere. She was still thinking about the birthday gift she prepared for the Tenth Master.

Taking the opportunity when Master Shi went out, she followed him out.

Unmarried girls naturally wouldn't sit at the same table with the wives. Ruoxi wasn't completely hopeless yet, so she left in a very quiet manner. So, apart from paying special attention to her appearance, the other wives didn't notice her.

After Ruoxi left, Lingrong had not let go of her attention to their table. Sure enough, after a while, Guo Luoluo and Mingyu also followed her out.

Lingrong thought that the plot that would make Ruoxi the world-famous "Desperate Thirteenth Sister" would soon come true.

Sure enough, after they finished their meal, when the female relatives were touring the Eighth Master's Mansion under the leadership of Ruolan, they suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the water.

Just as everyone could see the pool of water, they saw Thirteen and Fourteen jumping into the water at the same time.

When Ruolan saw that it was her sister who fell into the water, she no longer cared about taking care of the other female relatives. She was so anxious that she wanted to jump in and save Ruoxi herself.

Fortunately, Mr. Ba calmed her down in time.

After a commotion, Thirteen and Fourteen, along with Eighth Master's two sisters-in-law, finally came ashore.

"Wow--"

"Wow, wow, wow~ I want my sister~"

It was Mingyu who was crying.
