Chapter 1082 - 903: Prelude to the Turmoil at the Banquet_3
It’s not just about having Xie Pan’Er betray the sect, but she also gains so many benefits!Hmph! Even a minor folk princess can bring Xie Pan’Er great benefits!
Now she has to figure out how to endear herself to this true royal princess, the benefits she can get will certainly be even greater!
"Princess, your words are mistaken. There are many legitimate young ladies here, but there is only one truly uncultured person!
Taking advantage of a child’s affection, she forsakes her ancestors, not only abandoning her own forebears but also running to others’ mansions to seduce their young master, attempting to climb up in status with her looks!
Princess, how can such a person be compared to you?"
Upon Xie Yingying’s words, everyone in Ningxiang Courtyard couldn’t help but gasp!
Their eyes involuntarily turned towards Xie Pan’Er!
The old Madam Xie, however, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself: Xie Yingying indeed has a formidable mother. Though today’s move is risky, if she plays well, she will surely turn the tables!
As she thought this, indeed Princess Lianchun’s puzzled voice came to her ears!
"What do you mean by this?
I see you and Pan’Er are of a similar age, and you even have some resemblance between your brows; do you have some relation?"
Hearing Princess Lianchun’s words, Xie Yingying became entirely excited.
"Replying to the princess, your female servant is Xie Yingying, the eldest granddaughter of the Xie Family in Wuliuxiang!
You do not know, that the so-called beautiful aunt in that little girl’s words and I are cousin-sisters, but she has a vile character, aiming high and reaching low, even betraying and forgetting the sect; how can such an opportunistic person be compared to you?"
When Xie Yingying spoke such a long string of words, everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar!
People began to whisper.
"So it turns out the person who was the subject of all the rumors around the capital lately is her!
She is Xie Pan’Er!
This indeed is an ungrateful creature; you must not learn from her, do you understand?"
At once, many madams and old madams immediately pointed fingers at Xie Pan’Er.
Some even used her as a negative example to educate their own daughters, granddaughters, and so on!
Xie Pan’Er was entirely numb, dazed, stunned, her mind a blank, knowing nothing.
She stood there dumbly, her left ear buzzing, her right ear hissing, and her head pounding, hurting beyond bear!
She reached out instinctively, forcefully covering her ears!
A hand reached over and directly grabbed her wrist, "Pan’Er! Pan’Er!"
The familiar breath, the gentle language, finally calmed her down.
"Mother!"
"Don’t be afraid! Mother is here!"
Pan’Er’s mother looked at her with heartache, reaching out to gently stroke her face!
"Don’t be afraid!" She repeated "don’t be afraid" once more, and it immediately warmed Xie Pan’Er’s heart!
Pan’Er’s mother took Xie Pan’Er’s hand, passing through the surrounding crowd step by step towards Princess Lianchun and the old Madam Ji.
Seeing their actions, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath. After a while, someone in the crowd continued whispering,
"Even daring to approach, if it were me, I’d duck my head like a quail, how can one still have the face to move towards the princess?"
"Exactly, is this not enough shame?
Or is she not satisfied with just associating with a folk princess, so now she wants to connect with the true royal princess?"
Some people in the crowd spoke without restraint.
Just like the Li Family of Zhongshu Province, ever since their little Lucky Star returned from Yunhang, their family leveraged the event of the little Lucky Star shielding the National Master from a blade, staging a grand event and holding a banquet.
Through the banquet, they made a good connection with many people.
Yet unexpectedly, not two days later, the little Lucky Star was taken away by the National Master and hasn’t stepped out of the National Master’s Mansion ever since!
Yet compared to this bringer of misfortune, according to that rural grandmother’s account.
She indeed is an undeniable jinx, but why does the royal family so fondly favor her?
This baffled Li Xu’s wife from the Imperial Secretariat to no end.
Thus, at this moment, watching the two Xie girls who had broken off and divided into separate sects fighting here, she couldn’t help herself but try to drag that Li Suisui into the mix!
Thus, in the crowd, she whispered a sentence!
Though she whispered, in fact, everyone around heard it, including Princess Lianchun!
"And which family does that lady belong to?
She seems to know quite a lot about the Xie Family affairs!
I have traveled outside for years and have just returned, not knowing much of the capital’s affairs, Madam, care to tell this palace?"
