Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Madam Yang and Madam Huang were unhappy.
What was wrong with Shen Chuan?
Why did he have to be on the same side as Fatty Su?
More and more people were watching.
Shen Chuan was the top scholar this year. His words carried a lot of weight.
Hence everyone looked at the mother-in -law and daughter-in-law differently.
Madam Huangâs face turned green and white. âYou⊠you⊠donât talk nonsense! You were deceived by this girl! Weâve never let her mother down! It was her father who kidnapped her from the Chen family and drugged her mother. From then on, they stopped interacting with the Chen family! We came to their house many times and were even chased and beaten up by Su Cheng!â
Shen Chuan said, âYou came to extort money. If they donât kick you out, are they going to worship you like a living Buddha? Feel your conscience. How much family allowance did the Protector Duke give your family over the years?â
Shen Chuan would not pretend to be noble and refrain from arguing just because he had become the top scholar.
Some people deserved to be scolded, so he scolded them openly!
So what if he was the top scorer? Who wasnât a human? âWhatâs going on?â
In the crowd, a vendor asked.
Coincidentally, there was a storyteller at the event location.
He immediately understood. Coupled with the past of the Protector of the Dukeâs Estate, he apprised everyone on the ins and outs.
âDidnât the biological son of the old Guardian Duke, Qin Canglan, wander among the commoners for many years? The wife he married in the countryside happened to be the adopted daughter of the Chen family. The Chen family didnât treat the adopted daughter as a person and abused her for many years. Even after she died, they didnât let her rest in peace and kept squeezing her son-in-law. Now that her biological parents have come looking for her, they even said that they had been wronged and played the blame game!â âCutting pig grass at the age of four,â an auntie said with heartache. The auntie hugged her granddaughter in her arms. âBeast!â
Everyone scolded the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Madam Yang trembled with anger. âNo matter what the Chen family did to her, we raised her! If I hadnât picked her up back then, she would have starved to death by the roadside!â
The hot-tempered auntie scolded, âYou didnât have any good intentions when you picked her up. How dare you say that?â
âThatâs right. Donât you know how many benefits youâve obtained over the years?â
âDidnât you say that you were slandered and wronged just now? Are you admitting it now?â
Hanlin Academy was on a break today.
Chen Haovuan attended a poetry gathering in the capital at Princess Linâs invitation.
After it ended, Princess Lin was a little hungry.
Thinking of the good snack shop nearby, she came over with Chen Haoyuan.
When she passed by the jewelry shop, Princess Lin saw that it was noisy inside and came over curiously to watch the commotion.
Chen Haoyuan could only accompany her.
Chen Haoyuan would never have thought that he would see Madam Yang and Madam Huang in the shop.
The two of them were in a sorry state and had swollen faces. They were surrounded and pointed at in the lobby.
Chen Haoyuan hurriedly walked over. âGrandmother? Mother? Whatâs wrong?â
When Madam Yang and Madam Huang saw him, they immediately felt extremely aggrieved.
Madam Huang immediately cried. âSon, your grandmother and I were bullied so badlyâŠâ Princess Lin walked in with a cold expression. âWho dares to bully the two of
âPrincess Lin!â
Madam Yang and Madam Huangâs eyes lit up and they were about to bow to her in unison.
Princess Lin supported the two of them. âMatriarch Chen, Madam Chen, donât be afraid. I want to see who has the guts to bully you!â
Madam Huang pointed at Su Xiaoxiao proudly. âItâs her! This wretched girl!â
Madam Huang came from the countryside and did not know the power of the capital.
In her opinion, regardless of whether this girl had the backing of a marshal or a marquis, they were only officials of the Imperial Court.
Princess Lin was a relative of the emperor!
The world belonged to the royal family. Could this wretched girl afford to offend them?
Princess Linâs father, Prince Rong, was the youngest concubine brother of the late emperor.
The previous emperor had snatched the throne from his nephew. It was obvious how casual his throne was.
He was useless. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he was sent to his fief.
Last year, Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly thought of this uncle and summoned his family back to the capital.
Princess Lin often went to the nunnery to accompany the Empress Dowager and gained face in front of her.
The high officials and nobles in the capital would more or less give her and Prince Rong some respect.
Princess Lin looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
She thought that the wretched girl Madam Huang was talking about was an ordinary woman, but she was actually so beautiful.
She did not put on any makeup but looked breathtaking.
Her hair adornment was simple. She only used a blue headband to tie her hair into two buns, but it could not stop her from being dazzling.
She was pregnant and had a cute face. There was a rare heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
Princess Lin was in a daze for a moment.
Chen Haoyuan was even more absent-minded than her.
If not for his mother calling her a wretched girl, he would never believe that the beautiful woman in front of him was Fatty Su, who had once pursued him in the countryside.
It was not an exaggeration to say that she had been reborn.
Cheng Sang opened the food box and brought out the barley porridge in the first compartment and a plate of boiled vegetables.
Chen Haoyuan felt awkward.
Princess Lin came back to her senses and frowned at Su Xiaoxiao. âWho are you?â
Su Xiaoxiao said indifferently, âQin Su, from the Protector Dukeâs Estate.â Hearing these words, Princess Linâs expression changed!
Madam Huang did not notice Princess Linâs abnormality. She placed her hands on her hips and shouted, âFatty Su! So what if you change your surname? Let me tell you, the person standing in front of you is Princess Lin!â
Princess Lin had been in the capital for more than half a year and had interacted with all the noble ladies. How could she not know Qin Suâs name?
She was the pearl protected by Qin Canglan and the Marquis of Zhenbei. She was the only sister of the five brothers of the Su family and the seventh young madam of the Wei family.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Qin Su was the first daughter of the Great Zhou.
Even the two princesses were her best friends.
It was true that she was a princess, but she could not be stubborn in front of herâŠ
Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly, âPrincess, do you have any instructions?â
Princess Lin clenched the handkerchief in her hand awkwardly.
Of all the people they could have offended, why did they have to offend herâŠ
Madam Huang urged, âPrincess, punish her!â
Madam Yang also said, âThatâs right, Princess. Look at how she bullied us!â
Cheng Sang said coldly, âI was the one who beat you up!â
Princess Lin saw hope. If it were anyone else, she could still use her status as a princess.
Su Xiaoxiao said, âGrandmother, thereâs no need for you to draw a boundary. Even if you donât beat her up, Iâll beat her up!â What?
Was this person Qin Suâs grandmother?
Princess Linâs head hurt!
At this moment, her maidservant walked over and whispered in her ear.
Princess Linâs eyelashes trembled. She turned around resolutely and said to Madam Yang and Madam Huang, âYou were in the wrong today. Why did you lie to me?â
The sudden change in Princess Linâs expression stunned Madam Yang and Madam Huang.
What was going on?
Wasnât the princess going to stand up for them?
