Chapter 628: Chapter 568: Publicly Falling Out (Two in One Mega Chapter)_3

Madam Guo smiled and said, “What confusion? Come, tell us, and if I don’t know the answer, there’s always Madam Jiang.” The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and considering how the Yan Family has helped my husband in the past, I am more than happy to help the Yan Family’s eldest daughter get out of her predicament.

Daohua spoke with a smile, “Do people in Beijing always compliment others like this? I’ve heard that there are many noble women in Beijing, each one extraordinarily beautiful, and someone like me can hardly hold a candle to them.”

“Just now, Nanny Jia called my delicate beauty ‘good color,’ so does that mean the noble women in Beijing are even more ‘good color’ than me?”

Seeing the curiosity in Daohua’s eyes, Madam Guo was momentarily at a loss for words. How could she respond to that?

In a public setting, saying a young lady has ‘good color’ is not a compliment at all; in fact, it carries a certain malice.

Madam Jiang and Nanny Jia, who were beside her, were both surprised and annoyed by what Daohua had said.

Nanny Jia was stunned for a moment before she denied the accusation, “When have I ever said that the noble women of Beijing have ‘good color’?” She was not so arrogant as to slander the noble women of Beijing so openly.

With a look that was half-smiling, Daohua turned to Nanny Jia, “What is it, did I misunderstand you? But you complimented even me, how could you withhold praise from the noble women of Beijing? Let’s not talk about the others, but what about those who can enter the Taihou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager? Won’t you spare them some praise?”

Nanny Jia, taken aback and angered, stared at Daohua, who stood unafraid to confront her directly. She was a person from the Taihou Palace; was Daohua not afraid of offending her?

Without a response from her, Daohua continued, “Nanny Jia, you’ve been in the palace for so long, you may not know who my father is, so listen well now.”

“My father is the Magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture, personally appointed by His Majesty. You might not regard him as highly as the senior officials you usually see in the palace, but since he took office, he has been diligent and devoted solely to serving the Emperor. Even if he’s a fourth-rank official, he is still an Imperial Envoy appointed by His Majesty.”

As she spoke, she patted her chest.

“I, the eldest daughter of the Magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture, am meeting you, Nanny Jia, for the first time today, and I don’t know how I have offended you to warrant such humiliation.”

Listening to Daohua’s forthright reproach, Nanny Jia was dumbfounded.

In Beijing, even if a young lady from a high-status family felt aggrieved, she would usually bear it in silence. Even if she couldn’t swallow the indignation, she would at most subtly and ambiguously retaliate with a comment or two. Who had ever seen someone like the Yan Family’s eldest daughter, tearing off all pretense of cordiality in public like this?

Blatantly shaming the daughter of an Imperial Envoy, and without any prior misconduct, this matter could lead to serious consequences if it were to spread, even for someone from the Taihou Palace.
