Chapter 1177: Chapter 1175: All Born Actors
Wufu turned her head and looked at her dazed appearance, speaking irritably: "Later, tell your mother, this Princeās Mansion has too many loopholes. Just think, what if it were Ji Furong?"
Changpingās face slightly changed. What would happen? You can already imagine with a toe. This would be a big deal.
Wufu took the opportunity to explain the severity and her suspicions, turning Changpingās face into a colorful swirl as if she had rolled through a dyehouse.
Jadeite returned and said, "Miss, Miss Ji is no longer in that room."
Wufu let out a sigh of relief. Not completely foolish, then.
Footsteps were heard approaching, and Wufu looked over; sure enough, it was the Princess Consort leading a group over.
The Princess Consort hurried forward with quick steps, feeling both relieved and tense to see her daughter standing with Wufu.
"Princess Consort." Wufu curtsied with a salute.
The Princess Consort nodded and looked towards the side room, her face suddenly changing color.
"Mother, Bai..."
"Silence." The Princess Consort scolded her.
Changping pouted in grievance, and when Wufu saw the Princess Consort looking over, she pulled Changping aside, saying, "Weāve been out long enough. Iām afraid Chuying and the others are getting impatient. Letās return?"
The Princess Consort showed a satisfied expression and nodded to the matron beside her.
The matron subtly lowered her eyes, leading the maid forward. Changping had no choice but to follow after Wufuās words.
But they had just taken two steps when they saw Concubine Zhen of the Princeās Mansion leading Madam Zhang of the Marquis Zhongyongās Mansion over, causing the Princess Consortās expression to change once more.
"Oh, what brings the Princess Consort here?" Madam Zhen approached with a sweet smile.
Standing to the side, Wufu observed her, with a gentle and graceful demeanor, and a genuine smile that easily disarmed people.
However, it was all a faƧade.
"Why has Concubine Zhen come?" the Princess Consort asked coolly.
Madam Zhen replied with a smile, "Listening to the opera was boring, so I accompanied the Marquisā wife for a walk. Our garden is even praised by His Majesty!"
The Princess Consort lowered her eyes and gave a gentle smile.
"Madam!" an older maid suddenly pointed to the side room with a slight shout.
"Whatās wrong?" Madam Zhen asked, somewhat puzzled, looking over and taking two steps forward. Her face dramatically changed, and she looked towards the Princess Consort: "Sister, this?"
The Princess Consort sneered inwardly, wondering how long can you pretend?
"Go see who is causing trouble in there!" Madam Zhen stomped her foot, appearing both angry and embarrassed.
Before the Princess Consort could respond, the maid and servants rushed inside, quickly followed by a shriek and shouts of fury.
Wufu watched indifferently, seeing the excitement, schadenfreude, and anticipation in Madam Zhenās eyes. She sighed. All are actors, yet somewhat confused.
Could it be that Madam Zhen is innocent?
No, if this was her doing, Zhao Mingjieās reputation would also be tarnished. Would she ruin her sonās name?
No, in cases like this, what loss does a man suffer? A little reputation is nothing. Itās not like thereās no responsibility, but the responsibility gained is a legitimate daughter of a third-rank official, a guaranteed profit!
Wufu couldnāt quite understand. Indeed, itās even muckier than she had expected. Only those involved would truly know the situation.
At this point, thereās no point in covering up. The Princess Consort entered with an unpleasant face, and Madam Zhen naturally didnāt fall behind. Madam Zhang, knowing something was amiss, hesitated but followed suit.
Meanwhile, Changping, that stubborn girl, broke free of Wufuās hand and barged in. She wanted to see how shameless that White Lotus was!
