CHAPTER 691: CHAPTER 691: DEALING WITH INTELLIGENT PEOPLE

The Princess Consort Ji knew that nothing good would come from encountering Song Ci. Her good mood was completely ruined, even more annoying because she had a pig teammate giving divine assists right by her side.

She looked at Ji Suhua and said, "You will return to the Uncle’s Mansion with your mother later. Until the Prince Mansion formally welcomes you, do not go anywhere. Stay in the mansion and prepare for the marriage."

Ji Suhua’s expression changed slightly: "Auntie, don’t you want me to stay with you?"

Returning to the Uncle’s Mansion, wouldn’t she not see the Prince? She wanted to take advantage of the fact that before the Princess and that Concubine enter, she could have more in-depth emotional exchanges with Prince Min to get pregnant soon.

But once returned to the Uncle’s Mansion, is there still a show to be played?

Madam Ji was also a bit bewildered and said, "Yes, Aunt, you want Suhua to go back, what about you?"

"Do you think without her by my side, I can’t eat or sleep well? Suhua, since you have been named the Concubine and are just waiting to be welcomed, shouldn’t you go back to the mansion to prepare for marriage instead of staying at the Prince Mansion? And you and Ze’er have already..."

The Princess Consort Ji gritted her teeth, lowered her voice, and said, "Do you want everyone in the Capital to know how you entered the Prince Mansion? You two fools, that old one from the Song Family already hinted that you are not a virgin."

Both Madam Ji and Ji Suhua turned pale.

Even in their foolishness, they knew this was not a good reputation.

"That, that old immortal, how dare she!" Madam Ji was so angry she slammed the table.

The Princess Consort Ji glared fiercely at her: "Try cursing louder, if you want to die, just hang yourself with a rope, don’t bring disaster to the entire Ji Family. Where do you think you are, is that someone you can curse?"

Madam Ji was a bit intimidated: "Aunt, I..."

"If you hadn’t brought up the wrong topic, would she target you? You spoke about people having miscarriages without good intentions, always stabbing others in the heart with your words. No wonder she mocks and ridicules us."

Madam Ji felt utterly wronged, thinking that if she couldn’t speak, wasn’t the Princess Consort Ji just the one to pass the knife? Why scold only her.

The Princess Consort Ji wanted to say more, but seeing that Meiniang was bringing people over, she had to stop and said, "Return and behave yourselves. Even if you don’t care about your face, the Ji Family and Prince Mansion still do!"

Madam Ji nearly cried.

...

Song Ci and Princess Anping went up to the second floor of the foreign store, lingering there among rows of glass counters. While touching her ear, she said, "I say, you might not believe it, but they must be cursing this old lady downstairs."

Look how her ear is heating up.

Princess Anping said, "Do you still care about that?"

"I’m not Buddha; I can’t just ignore it when they’re cursing and pretend I didn’t hear it. These ears are really bothered."

"They only dare to let loose behind backs." Princess Anping saw it clearly, the Ji Family’s people are just greedy and fear death.

They are not unaware of how solid the iron plate that is the Song Family is. Facing them directly, they would only suffer losses.

Compared to the in-laws of the Dowager, a mere granted-to-name Uncle’s Mansion without real power can’t compare to the well-powered Prime Minister’s Mansion, can it?

"The Princess seems increasingly impatient with dealing with them," Song Ci lightly laughed.

Last time at the Prince Mansion, she could still put on an act, but now, she doesn’t even want to pretend.

Princess Anping let the waiter take a long tube to hold in her hand and play with, and as taught, placed it over one eye and said, "There’s no fun in dealing with fools; it even makes oneself seem particularly foolish. I enjoy interacting with intelligent people; it’s a relief. This thing is quite interesting; take a look."

Song Ci took it and glanced at it casually over her eyes: "A kaleidoscope, quite suitable for boys to play with, give me two."
