C11 Wait Person
Shu Jing's face darkened. How could she not understand the reason behind her grandmother's change of attitude? However, she was determined to take Momo Wang with her today.
Momo Wang had a worried look on her face. She was wondering why the old lady let her off just now. It seemed that she didn't want Shu Jing to be troubled after her trump card. She said in a low voice,
"Eldest Miss, since the old lady asked, then this old servant …"
"That won't do, grandmother, are you going back on your word?"
Shu Jing rejected him without thinking.
Momo Chiang looked at her with an unfriendly expression. "Eldest Miss, are you going against the words of the old lady?"
It was just a mere young mistress. It was unknown where her confidence came from, but she dared to say those words of rejection.
Shu Jing calmly retorted, "How could I disobey? As a young miss of the direct line of descent, even if I wanted a servant, I would have to obtain Grandmother's approval?"
Momo Chiang would not be scared by such an identity. In any case, it was just an empty lie in everyone's hearts. She raised her chin and said,
"The old lady is the old master's mother. As his granddaughter, your grandmother should follow the old lady's wishes."
And she was the most eloquent person around the old lady.
Shu Jing knew what she was thinking with a single glance and sneered coldly.
"So it turns out that as the eldest daughter of the crown prince, Princess Consort To-Be, I have to follow the wishes of the old lady even if she wants me to serve her. If the old lady won't let me marry the crown prince, won't I reject Former Emperor's imperial edict and refuse to marry her?"
In any case, she was still carrying the title of Princess Consort To-Be. It would be a pity if she didn't make good use of it, so she decided to pay some interest on Gong Wushang's behalf.
Momo Wang looked at the Eldest Miss in astonishment. She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she actually felt that the Eldest Miss was emitting an innate deterrence that even the Master couldn't compare with.
She hoped that this was not an illusion. That way, the young miss would be able to control the backyard well after she became Crown Princess.
Momo Chiang was also frightened by Shu Jing's sudden burst of aura, but she quickly reacted with an even more unsightly expression on her face:
"Do you mean... do you really want me to take Momo Wang away?" Then I can only report it to the old lady truthfully! "
His last sentence was actually filled with threat.
If it was before, Shu Jing would never dare to offend the old lady. However, after her rebirth, she had only curled her lips:
"Even if you tell me back, I'll still say it this way. Momo Wang, let's go."
Momo Wang wordlessly followed behind Shu Jing with a peaceful smile on her face. This was not an illusion on her part. The eldest young miss had become very bold.
Shu Jing's voice was not soft. Old Madam Shu and Shu Yiyan, who were separated by two doors, naturally heard it.
Old Madam Shu's face was livid with anger, but she knew that even the Prime Minister wouldn't be able to do anything if Shu Jing brought up Princess Consort To-Be's name.
Shu Yiyan was even more shocked. She didn't expect Shu Jing to say such words. Who would dare to say that she was a scum? Even though her every word was a scam, Momo Chiang still jumped down foolishly.
Shu Jing didn't have time to care about Old Madam Shu and Shu Yiyan's mood at the moment. She returned to the courtyard and locked herself in her room. She began to prepare the birthday present she would need to enter the palace tomorrow.
Besides, the most important thing was to wait for the uninvited guest tonight.
When Momo Wang entered the courtyard, she saw the veranda filled with weeds and gray grass, but she couldn't see a single servant. An indescribable sorrow filled her heart; she had long since heard that the servants in the mansion neglected the Eldest Miss, but had no idea that it had already reached such a level.
When it was time for dinner, Lili didn't even see a taker. She was the one who was afraid the eldest miss would go hungry.
Momo Wang was worried. How was this the treatment of a legitimate daughter? She was even inferior to an aunt.
However, the young miss said that she already had a plan. She wasn't allowed to do anything, so she went to rest early.
How could Momo Wang fall asleep? At the Hai hour, they heard someone call and say that it was the personal servant of their cousin Miss Qin Wan'er, Cui Zhu.
And Cui Zhu was the person Shu Jing was waiting for tonight.
