Mrs. Guo seemed to have heard a joke. "Mrs. Fang, what you said is really nice. Do you think we are all fools? If you sisters are really close, why haven't we seen each other for so many years? It's because you did something wrong and stole her fiancé, so she has not been able to get married for so many years. You are worried that she will cause trouble for you, so you have been avoiding her."

Mrs. Guo spoke bluntly, and every word she said hit Fang Yueru hard in the heart. Wasn't she right?

Fang Yueru frowned. It seemed that Mrs. Guo came prepared today and would not give up easily.

Before Fang Yueru could figure out how to refute, Lin Qingrou beside her couldn't sit still anymore.

Lin Qingrou had heard her mother mention this Mrs. Guo before and had always wanted to curry favor with her mother, but her mother had never paid any attention to her.

She is so aggressive today, I'm afraid she wants to take the opportunity to take revenge on her mother.

How could she just sit there and do nothing while watching her mother being bullied by Mrs. Guo?

Lin Qingrou stood up excitedly and retorted: "Madam Guo, no matter what the truth is, this is our family affair. Madam Guo, you must have forgotten that you are here to attend a wedding banquet. You really don't know any etiquette to discuss the host's family affairs so openly."

Seeing Lin Qingrou come out to speak for her mother, Mrs. Guo sneered.

"Oh, Miss Third, you were frightened by the needle from Doctor Liu just now. You didn't feel any headache or dizziness anymore, but now you are jumping out to bite people? I am your elder after all. You said I don't know etiquette. How polite am I when you say that? Miss Third, you should take a good look at your status before you speak. You are representing the Kang Palace now. If you speak nonsense like this, it will bring shame to the Kang Palace. Princess Kang, do you think what I said is right?"

Madam Guo didn't take Lin Qingrou seriously at all. Although she married into Prince Kang's mansion, she was just a lowly concubine. How could she be afraid of her?

Judging from the situation just now, it seemed that Princess Kang didn't like Lin Qingrou very much.

As soon as she said this, Princess Kang would not sit idly by even for the sake of the reputation of the Kang Palace.

So even if Lin Qingrou stood up for her mother, she would not get anything good.

And she didn't need to do it herself. As long as she passed the message, Princess Kang would naturally come forward to handle it.

Tang Yingqian naturally understood what Mrs. Guo said. As soon as Lin Qingrou spoke just now, she wanted to cover Lin Qingrou's mouth.

She has lost her temper and speaks without considering the occasion. She has to clean up this mess.

Tang Yingqian sighed, reached out and tugged at Lin Qingrou's dress, asking her to sit down quickly.

Then she smiled and said to Madam Guo, "Madam Guo is right. I was ignorant just now. Maybe I was really scared just now, so I talked nonsense. I apologize to Madam Guo on my sister's behalf. Madam Guo is an elder, so don't bother with her."

Mrs. Guo's expression eased a little after hearing this, but she still sneered and said, "Since Princess Kang said so, we have to give her face. But Miss San is really arrogant. She even asked the princess to apologize on your behalf. Forgive me for being too talkative. A concubine is a concubine. After all, she cannot be on the stage. Princess, you can't be too nice to the concubines in the mansion. You have to restrain them more, otherwise they will take advantage of you."

Mrs. Guo did not say it directly this time. It seemed that she just discussed with Tang Yingqian how to govern the country.

Although she didn't mention anyone by name, everyone could tell that she was talking about Lin Qingrou.

After all, Princess Kang has no other concubine except Lin Qingrou.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingrou suddenly became furious and wanted to argue with Mrs. Guo, but Tang Yingqian beside her held her arm.

Tang Yingqian glared at Lin Qingrou with a look of disappointment and whispered, "Behave yourself. Your every move will affect the image of Prince Kang's Mansion. The prince is sitting over there. Think about how he would react if he heard what you said. Think twice before you speak. Don't always make me clean up your mess."

After hearing this, Lin Qingrou thought about it carefully, glanced at Xiao Jingyi who was not far away, and then gave up the idea of ​​arguing with Mrs. Guo.

The old lady was completely fed up with Lin Qingrou. She never considered the situation when speaking and really didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

Fang Yueru at least knew how to save face in front of outsiders, but Lin Qingrou didn't care and said whatever she wanted.

Although Lin Qingrou is now a member of Prince Kang's Mansion, she is from the Marquis' Mansion after all, so in the end, it is up to this old woman like her to come forward to smooth things over.

"Mrs. Guo, today is my son's big day, let's talk about something happy. Let's put those unhappy things behind us and just treat it as a favor to me, an old lady, how about that?"

Mrs. Guo also knew that today was such a happy day that she couldn't go too far. Since the old lady had spoken, she decided to stop while she was ahead.

Madam Guo smiled and said, "The old lady is right. Then I will use tea instead of wine to wish Master Lin and the old lady a happy marriage and a son soon."

Mrs. Guo's blessing really touched the old lady's heart. The old lady also hoped that Fang Yueqing could give birth to a child for Lin Yanming as soon as possible, and she smiled from ear to ear.

"Thank you, Madam Guo. I will accept your kind words."

In fact, Mrs. Guo specifically said this blessing in order to anger Fang Yueru again.

So what if Fang Yueru has a pair of children? Although the son is still the legitimate son, he has severed the mother-son relationship with her.

The daughter was even more miserable. Not only did she become a concubine, she also became a maid.

Even King Kang's concubine could not appear on the stage.

But Fang Yueqing is different. She is now a legitimate Mrs. Lin, and all her future children will be legitimate. She will be superior to Fang Yueru no matter what.

When she thought of these things, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but gloat over her misfortune, and she looked at Fang Yueru with a smug look.

Fang Yueru also found Mrs. Guo's blessing quite irritating. She turned around and saw her provocative look and realized that she was saying it for her on purpose. She clenched her fists in anger.

The old lady was chatting and laughing with several other ladies. Huaping quietly stepped forward and whispered a few words to the old lady, whose face suddenly changed.

After hearing what Huaping said, the old lady was obviously unhappy. She frowned and whispered, "Why did you choose today? Such a festive day, it's really unlucky! I know about this. Let's talk about it after the wedding banquet is over. Don't disturb the guests."

Huaping nodded upon hearing this and retreated silently.

Then the old lady continued to talk to the ladies as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Although the old lady spoke in a low voice just now, Lin Qingyao was sitting not far away and caught some of the information.
