I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across Mrs. Pei's face, and then she forced herself to calm down.

"Yes, I heard it too. The Ninth Prince said directly in front of the people that he wanted to marry into the Yu family." Another woman interrupted.

Suddenly, Madam Pei felt a chill on her back. If Chu Yuheng really went to marry into the royal family, then she would have offended the future Ninth Princess today!

No, she absolutely could not bow to Yu Wangfei.

Yu Wangfei is just a commoner's daughter who knows a little bit of medical skills, how can she compare with her!

"Women like you really have the means to control men." Madam Pei sneered, and then turned her attention to Xiao Ping. "We in the Pei Mansion are so kind that we allow you to enter the mansion as a concubine, but you still don't know what's good for you and want my son to marry you. It's really funny."

After hearing what Mrs. Pei said, Xiaoping immediately lowered her head and hid behind Yu Wangfei, not daring to say another word.

She knew her identity, and she knew that she was not worthy of the Pei family, so she had never thought of marrying into the Pei family. From the beginning to the end, all she wanted was Pei Chengzhong's attitude.

"Mrs. Pei, you are wrong." Yu Wangfei took a step forward and looked at her seriously. "Everyone knows that Master Pei is just having fun and insists on living on the slums. If it weren't for Xiao Ping, it would be impossible for someone like Master Pei, who has no worries about food and clothing, to survive on the slums for more than two days."

At this moment, everyone present suddenly remembered the terrible environment of Skid Row. Generally speaking, people of their status and position would never step into Skid Row. Even if they accidentally stepped in, they would run away because they could not bear it.

Therefore, the people on Slum Street did not know these sons of the gentry, but they only knew Pei Chengzhong. It is conceivable how long Pei Chengzhong had lived on Slum Street.

"If you ask me, Xiaoping should have saved Mr. Pei's life, but Mr. Pei not only did not repay the favor, he also deceived Xiaoping and took away her innocence and money..." Yu Wangfei deliberately stopped talking halfway to arouse the interest of everyone present.

As long as they go and ask on the streets, they will know all the bad things Pei Chengzhong has done.

Seeing this, Madam Pei stopped pretending and glared at the two of them angrily: "If you weren't relying on men, how could you be respected by others? Who knows what kind of seductive tricks you used to deal with men!"

Hearing this, Yu Wangfei tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. If Madam Pei hadn't had an imperial decree, she would have raised her hand and slapped her!

"Only useless women rely on men, and only good-for-nothing women think of seeking protection from men!" Yu Wangfei retorted, "Although we are women, we can still earn our living with our own hands, and we can still pick up spears to defend our country!"

"Okay!" The imperial concubine suddenly appeared.

Just now she saw the quarrel between Madam Pei and Yu Wangfei, but she did not step forward to stop it, because the imperial concubine also wanted to see what ability Yu Wangfei had that could allow Chu Yuheng to marry into the family in public.

It was not until she heard her impassioned speech that the Imperial Concubine understood why she could please Chu Yuheng. She liked women like this, let alone men.

"Well said." The imperial concubine came over with her procession, "Princess Pingle said it well. We women also have our own world."

When everyone saw the imperial concubine coming, they all bowed and greeted her, but Madam Pei stood together with a look of resentment on her face.

After the ceremony, they were about to take their seats. Yu Wangfei deliberately asked Xiaoping to serve Yunhua, and he took the opportunity to sit next to Madam Pei.

One of them is a princess and the other is a noble lady, so there is nothing wrong with them sitting together.

Looking at Yu Wangfei's smug look, Mrs. Pei's face suddenly darkened. She wanted to leave, but because the imperial concubine was still there, she had to bite the bullet and sit with Yu Wangfei.

Yu Wangfei deliberately picked up a piece of green leafy vegetable and took a bite: "This kind of green leafy vegetable will not taste different no matter how it is cooked. It's just that the name of the dish is different, so the value is different. Don't you agree, Madam Gaoming?"

She was deliberately making a sarcastic remark about Madam Pei. After all, she had earned her status as a princess herself, while Madam Pei's imperial title was earned by her husband.

The person who really relies on men is actually Mrs. Pei, and everyone present knows this.

"Obviously, this vegetable is originally green, but it thinks it is another color like its name." Yu Wangfei deliberately stared at Mrs. Pei.

"You did it on purpose." Madam Pei said softly, her expression becoming nervous, "I don't believe that your status as a princess wasn't earned for you by the Ninth Prince."

"Mrs. Pei has stayed at home for so long that she has no idea about the plague." Yu Wangfei smiled.

"So what? With your background, how can you possibly enter the royal ancestral temple?" Mrs. Pei picked up the wine glass and took a sip with disdain.

"Although I come from a humble background, I am capable of keeping myself safe in this chaotic world. Without your background, you are nothing." Yu Wangfei laughed and sneered, "By the way, it seems that His Majesty also knows about what your son has done. Guess..."

"Bitch!" Mrs. Pei stood up angrily and glared at Yu Wangfei fiercely.

All of a sudden the scene became quiet, and everyone present focused their attention on Mrs. Pei, wondering why she behaved like this.

Madam Pei felt ashamed, so she took the initiative to bow to the imperial concubine and said, "I just drank too much wine, and now I feel a little unwell. Please forgive me, imperial concubine."

"Nothing. Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest early." The imperial concubine waved her hand and asked the servants to take Madam Pei away from the table.

After seeing Madam Pei leave, Xiaoping took the initiative to come over and serve Yu Wangfei. The imperial concubine did not say anything. Although the young ladies from aristocratic families were invited to today's banquet in her name, in fact it was the emperor who asked her to do so.

As for why, the imperial concubine didn't know.

After three rounds of drinks, Lu Xiaoting suddenly walked in wearing a red dress. She first bowed to the imperial concubine and then sat directly in Mrs. Pei's seat.

Yu Wangfei felt a little strange about this. Wasn't Lu Xiaoting under house arrest? Why was she still at the banquet today? What was her purpose here?

Just as Mrs. Pei left, Lu Xiaoting came, which really gave her a headache.

As for why he said those words to Mrs. Pei just now, it was entirely because he wanted her to tell the head of the Pei family the news word for word, and make him choose between the Pei family and Pei Chengzhong. People like Pei Chengzhong deserve to be killed.

As for why Lu Xiaoting also appeared at the banquet, it was because the Imperial Concubine felt that the Lu family was on Chu Fei's side, so she had to take good care of the daughter of the Lu family in order to comfort General Lu who was far away in Xizhou, so she ordered someone to invite Lu Xiaoting over.
