Aunt Fang also came out with them today.
Normally, when the Princess Royal went out, she wouldn't bring Aunt Fang. But today, when going to the Yu family to add wedding gifts, it was an exception.
Aunt Fang knew very well that the Princess Royal was annoyed by her advice, so she had been keeping silent all day.
However, the Princess Royal clearly was looking for trouble with Song Wanchu.
Song Wanchu was in a weak position. Facing the Princess Royal's power and pressure, she was bound to suffer a great deal of grievances and hardships.
Aunt Fang couldn't bear to just watch.
"Your Highness, I suppose Miss Song must have gone to pay homage to her father. Those who have just returned from the cemetery carry a heavy evil aura. Be careful not to let it offend you. It's better to let Miss Song avoid this place."
The Princess Royal gave Aunt Fang a glaring look, her eyes cold and sinister, like a venomous snake spitting out its forked tongue.
"When did Aunt Fang become so friendly with Song Wanchu?"
This remark sounded like a baseless suspicion.
Aunt Fang wisely kept her mouth shut.
"What, so your dream of being promoted to the main wife has been shattered, and you've gone to cry to your dead father?"
The Princess Royal turned her spearhead back to Song Wanchu, with a malicious sneer on her face. "It's a pity, a pity. Your father was just an insignificant petty official. He was stabbed like a sieve on the battlefield, and all he did with his humble body was to exchange a position as a concubine in the Duke's Mansion for you!"
Song Wanchu clenched her hands tightly together, and her blood was boiling all over her body.
She knew that the Princess Royal was deliberately humiliating her. As long as she fought back, this sinister and vicious old woman could charge her with the crime of disrespect.
She could endure the humiliation to herself, but no one could humiliate her father!
The angry emotion gradually eroded her rationality. She straightened her upper body and looked at the Princess Royal's face neither overbearing nor humble.
"My father is not a humble body! He sacrificed his life for the country and is a heroic figure in history!"
The Princess Royal seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world and let out a shrill laugh. "A hero? Do you think that just because your father saved the Duke of Jin, he can be famous in history? His sacrifice is just a joke, worthless!"
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's not up to the Princess Royal to decide. My father's memorial tablet is enshrined in the Lingxiao Pavilion, and he was posthumously conferred the title of a third - rank general. The Emperor recognizes his sacrifice and praises his achievements. When the Princess Royal slurs my father like this, is she denying the Emperor?"
The Princess Royal's old face with loose skin became extremely fierce in expression.
"You're really a sharp - tongued little bitch!"
She gritted her teeth hatefully and covered the frustration in her eyes with a sinister smile. "A low - class concubine dares to talk to this princess like this?"
"Don't be angry, Your Highness. This junior will teach her a lesson for you!"
In front of the Princess Royal, Yu Huiyan didn't bother to pretend to be a pure white flower.
Anyway, the Princess Royal had already seen through her true nature. The more vicious she was, the more it proved that they were of the same kind.
She was quite willing to act as the Princess Royal's minion. At least it could prove that she was useful.
"Good. She's a concubine in the Duke's Mansion, and you'll be the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion. It's only right for you to set some rules for her and let her know what it means to be submissive!"
Yu Huiyan walked up to Song Wanchu, roughly grabbed her up, and raised her arm high. The excited light was surging wildly in her eyes.
Just as the slap was about to fall, Song Wanchu suddenly grabbed her arm and stared at her with a fierce look. "How dare you hit me?"
Yu Huiyan couldn't move her arm and got angry from embarrassment. "Why wouldn't I dare? I'll be the future mistress of the Duke's Mansion! Song Wanchu, from now on, you'll only be worthy of kneeling and serving me, wagging your tail and begging for mercy from me like a dog!"
Although Song Wanchu was thinner than Yu Huiyan, she was taller, more imposing, and had some kung - fu skills. Yu Huiyan couldn't shake her at all.
Her slender body emitted a cold and powerful aura. "You haven't even married into the Duke's Mansion yet, but you keep saying that you're the mistress. Miss Yu, who claims to be reserved and gentle, is actually so shameless?"
"You!"
Yu Huiyan was furious. She stretched out her other hand and scratched fiercely at Song Wanchu's face.
She wanted to ruin this peerlessly beautiful face right away!
Song Wanchu pushed her out with a little strength.
Yu Huiyan staggered and fell clumsily at the Princess Royal's feet.
"Yu Huiyan, I was married into the Duke's Mansion by the Emperor's decree. Even now, I can still wear my hair in a formal bun, wear bright red clothes, and enter through the main gate. If you dare to lay hands on me, it's disrespectful to the Duke's Mansion and even more disrespectful to the Emperor!"
Aunt Fang had been really worried about Song Wanchu. Seeing that she could turn the situation around with just a few words, she couldn't help but look at her with new respect.
No wonder the Second Young Master Liang couldn't forget her after just a fleeting glance.
She wasn't just a vase with beauty. Her courage and boldness were astonishing. She was far stronger than Yu Huiyan, who only knew how to bully others by relying on the powerful.
Song Wanchu didn't want to use her status as an important concubine in the Duke's Mansion as a shield, but in today's situation, if she wanted to leave unscathed, she had no choice.
Yu Huiyan really didn't dare to act rashly anymore.
She carefully glanced at the Princess Royal, her eyes timid.
The Princess Royal's face was gloomy and she was very unhappy.
As the most noble woman in the royal family, she would never beat someone with her own hands.
The Princess Royal would never do anything that was beneath her dignity.
There had to be someone to act as her minion.
Yu Huiyan gritted her teeth and raised her arm towards Song Wanchu again.
"Slap!"
A loud slap resounded. Half of Yu Huiyan's face went numb, and her head was buzzing.
Princess Lingyang had somehow come to the Cuining Tower and quietly stood behind Song Wanchu.
It was Princess Lingyang who had slapped Yu Huiyan.
"Lingyang, what are you doing?" The Princess Royal's face became even gloomier as she glared angrily at Princess Lingyang.
"Beating someone. Auntie, can't you see with your poor eyesight?"
One of the people Princess Lingyang hated the most was this aunt of hers.
She often sent beautiful women to the Emperor, which made the Empress shed tears secretly.
Since she had arranged a marriage for Yu Huiyan to marry Liang Yuzhou as his main wife, Princess Lingyang had hated her even more.
"Huiyan hasn't offended you. As a princess, how can you beat someone with your own hands? It's really improper!"
The Princess Royal took on the airs of an elder to scold Princess Lingyang.
Princess Lingyang snorted indifferently. "I don't like her. Do I need a reason to beat her? I just do it when I feel like it!"
The Princess Royal was so angry that her face turned ashen. She knew she couldn't reason with this little devil.
"Lingyang, is this how you talk to your elders?"
One was the Emperor's older sister, and the other was the Emperor's most beloved youngest daughter. The two most noble women in the Great Zhou Dynasty were at odds.
Song Wanchu knew that Princess Lingyang didn't beat Yu Huiyan to help her.
But she was still quite grateful to Princess Lingyang.
Princess Lingyang's slap had broken the confrontation between her and the Princess Royal.
Now the Princess Royal's spearhead was no longer pointed at her.
She kept silent and didn't get involved in the verbal battle between the two princesses.
"Your Highness, Lingyang is still young. Don't take it to heart. It's not worth getting angry and hurting your body on such a hot summer day."
Aunt Fang wanted to quickly calm things down and persuade the Princess Royal to leave.
"Yes, yes, yes. People of old age shouldn't get angry. You already have so many wrinkles. If you get angry, you'll look even uglier!"
Princess Lingyang said sarcastically.
Everyone in the palace knew that the Princess Royal's age was a taboo. No one dared to say she was old, let alone that she was ugly!
Princess Lingyang had the confidence to be the exception.
The Princess Royal was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. If it weren't for her status, she might really have beaten Lingyang.
"Your Highness, don't be angry with Princess Lingyang. It's okay for me to suffer a little grievance."
Yu Huiyan whispered with tears in her eyes, and her sinister eyes drifted towards Song Wanchu.
It meant that the person who should be punished hadn't been punished yet.
"Bitch, stop pretending to be pitiful!"
Princess Lingyang grabbed Yu Huiyan's hair bun. Yu Huiyan felt a numb pain on her scalp and had to bend down to relieve the pain of her hair being pulled.
"Humph, I let you get away last time. This time, I won't let you go!"
She wanted to strip this bitch naked and hang her on a tree for passers - by to watch.
Let's see if Second Brother Liang still wants to marry her!
"Your Highness, please show mercy!"
A cold voice sounded from behind Song Wanchu.
Liang Yuzhou quickly walked past her, bringing a gust of wind that lifted the hem of Song Wanchu's skirt.
"Second Brother Liang, I knew you were here!"
Princess Lingyang didn't care at all about Liang Yuzhou's coldness towards her and showed him a sweet smile.
Song Wanchu's face turned pale, and her fingernails dug deeply into her flesh.
So, he had been there all along.
Coldly watching her being humiliated by the Princess Royal and almost beaten by Yu Huiyan.
But as soon as Yu Huiyan got into trouble, he immediately showed up.
