CHAPTER 690: CHAPTER 690 CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT UP

The Madam and her daughter did not understand, but that did not mean Princess Anping didn’t. She took out a handkerchief to cover her smile at the corner of her mouth, her worries dissipating from her eyes.

Madam Song had never let her down.

Princess Consort Ji observed and her instincts told her that Song Ci’s words definitely had a deeper meaning, and it wasn’t anything good.

She then scanned the others, and some people watching Ji Suhua hadn’t hidden the disdain in their eyes in time. Her face turned green as she realized something, and she glared sharply at Song Ci.

Song Ci met her gaze with a cheeky smile.

Oh, figured it out, did you? All because your niece-in-law runs her mouth looking for trouble, and your niece doesn’t know how to restrain herself. She’s clearly involved with someone yet dares to strut around pretending to be pure. Does she really think everyone is blind?

In ancient times, the older wives and daughters-in-law are like X-ray eyes; they could tell your purity from your brow and stance. If she doesn’t quietly stay in the mansion and wait to be married off, wandering outside just serves ready gossip on a platter!

Try bothering me again and I’ll retaliate, I’ve got backing!

Princess Consort Ji: "..."

That damn old woman!

Meiniang, having seen enough drama, hurriedly ushered them into a private room and then had a maid serve exquisite tea and snacks. Looking at the clearly divided room, she suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This could turn into a clash of the titans, and they’re all people one can’t afford to offend!

"I wonder what kind of jewelry or novelties the Dowager and you, Madam of the Princess, are looking for?" Meiniang asked with a smile.

Before the others could speak, the Madam quickly said, "I heard your emporium has those sparkling hair accessories; bring them all out for us to see."

Princess Anping, sipping her tea, remained silent, only looking towards Song Ci.

Song Ci said, "I only came out for a leisurely stroll because I was bored in the mansion, not looking for anything specific. Since it’s all for fun, naturally, it’s more interesting to browse and uncover treasures myself. Meiniang, just focus on serving the Dowager well."

The ire in Princess Consort Ji’s heart was somewhat soothed; at least she knew her place.

The Madam wanted to suggest maybe she had no Silver, but then remembered her status and position. Even if she lacked Silver, her daughters-in-law were all treasure troves, especially Madam Song II, whose family was enormously wealthy. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s Commandery Princess Dongyang, the entire Prince Dingbei’s Mansion is hers, and it’s said she treats Song Ci like her own mother, showering her with wealth and Silver Coin.

Look at her, emanating wealth, while for herself, she had to scrimp and save for ten taels of Gold.

Comparing oneself to others just leads to despair.

Better not to disgrace myself.

"And the Commandery Princess?"

Princess Anping said, "Since I came with the Madam, naturally, I’ll accompany her in browsing."

Who would want to stay in a room with people whose heads are filled with nonsense, risking their own sophistication getting downgraded?

Song Ci noticed her impatience and said, "In that case, after we’ve finished our tea, shall we go treasure hunting?"

Oh, dear Bao, I missed you!

"It’s more courteous to obey, Madam, please." Princess Anping put down her tea cup, stood up with a smile, and even went over to help her.

Song Ci stood up with her hand, smiling as she looked at Princess Consort Ji, "Then we won’t disturb the Dowager’s enjoyment."

Princess Consort Ji’s face turned cold, "As you wish."

Once the two left, her face turned completely dark.

The Madam realized late and said, "Aunt, they really don’t know how to appreciate kindness, refusing to share a room with you."

Princess Consort Ji pierced her with her gaze, "You should just shut up!" If you can’t speak well, don’t blabber.

The Madam: "..."
