903 Secret (2)

Just as Madam Lu and Lu Wan’er were both stunned, they heard a chuckle from the other side. “Princess Consort Rui is indeed a straightforward person. Prince Rui is young and talented, but most of all, he is devoted. He’s a rare man in the world.”

Shen Miao looked at the person who spoke. That person was sitting beside Ji Yushu’s mother. She was a slightly thin madam. She was wearing a tea-colored embroidered dress. Her skin was slightly dark, and her eyebrows were straight, but because she was old, she looked a little unapproachable. Her eyes were deep, and when she looked at people, she seemed to be studying them, as if she could see through them. At a glance, one could tell that she was a no-nonsense woman.

While refilling tea for Shen Miao, Ba Jiao whispered into her ear, “This is the wife of the Prime Minister, Madam Ye.”

Unlike Madam Lu, who was a little arrogant, this Madam of the Ye family looked much more restrained, but it also made Shen Miao feel that she was even more difficult to deal with.

Madam Ye looked at Shen Miao and suddenly said with a smile, “Royal hunt will be held in a few days. Princess Consort Rui, you will also be present at that time, right?”

Shen Miao smiled and said, “I still have to discuss this with Prince Rui.” She couldn’t make a hasty promise. Today, the entire room was filled with people with ill intentions. She didn’t dare to let her guard down.

“Princess Consort Rui, you’re new here and don’t know the wonders of hunting in Long Ye yet. There are many interesting things. Please join in the fun with us,” Madam Ye continued.

Shen Miao looked at Madam Ye, who was trying to force her to agree to go to the royal hunt.

Madam Ji, who was sitting beside Madam Ye, said with a smile, “Everyone, don’t force Princess Consort Rui. Princess Consort Rui is still young. Just as Madam Ye said, she’s new here. I’m afraid she’s still a little shy. It’s only right for her to think about it.”

She took the initiative to help Shen Miao out.

Shen Miao looked over in surprise to see Madam Ji smiling at her with a nod.

Madam Ji’s husband was the marquis, and his status was not low. When Madam Ye heard this, she did not talk back. She only looked at Shen Miao inquisitively, making Shen Miao frown.

The banquet ended eventually. Lu Wan’er was angered by Shen Miao, so she left halfway through the banquet. Madam Lu treated Shen Miao indifferently. Since the hostess of this banquet was Madam Lu, the other madams naturally followed suit and deliberately ignored Shen Miao.

However, when Shen Miao was young, she was often ignored in Ming Qi, so she did not take it to heart. As she drank her tea, she listened to Ba Jiao secretly explain the relationship between the madams to her and remembered it. Not only did these cold treatments not affect her, but it also allowed her to remember the relationship between these people better.

When she left, no one sent her off. Just as she was about to get into the carriage, she was unexpectedly stopped.

She turned around and saw that it was Madam Ji.

Ji Yushu’s mother had a dignified and amiable personality. She looked at Shen Miao and said with a smile, “Yushu told me that when he was in the capital in Ming Qi, he was taken care of by you. Today, I came to thank you on his behalf.”

Shen Miao blushed and shook her head. It should be the other way around. It was her who often used Ji Yushu’s Exiled Immortal Pawnshop to achieve her goals.
