Xiao Yeyang escorted Daohua to the base of the attic.
Daohua glanced at the main hall and saw that everything was ready and the guests had taken their seats. She then turned to Xiao Yeyang and said, "The auspicious hour is almost upon us, you should go."
Xiao Yeyang grunted in response, handed the umbrella he was holding to Wang Manman, but remained standing in place. freёweɓnovel.com
Daohua gave him a look and turned to head up to the second floor.
"I told you so, the Countess of Shengping wouldn’t have any trouble, you’ve lost!"
Seeing Daohua come up, Kang Naixin said with a triumphant smile at Wu Xirong.
Wu Xirong glanced at Princess Consort Ma beside her, whose complexion was clearly not very good, and said in astonishment, "That shouldn’t be, Princess Consort Ma had summoned the Countess of Shengping to see Prince Shengping, surely she intended for the prince to reprimand her. How did she manage to get through it?"
Kang Naixin shrugged her shoulders and said, "Even if you don’t respect a monk out of piety, you respect him for the sake of the Buddha. With the Emperor himself granting the marriage, Prince Shengping wouldn’t recklessly make things difficult for the Countess of Shengping."
"Moreover, the Countess of Shengping’s lack of respect in not serving tea to Princess Consort Ma during the Dragon Boat Festival feast was also tacitly allowed by the Emperor. Today’s incident, when all is said and done, is still a matter of Princess Consort Ma failing to understand her own position."
"The Yan family abided by the proper forms of courtesy. If Princess Consort Ma had been smart, she wouldn’t necessarily have had to welcome them with open arms, but at the very least, she should have shown the grace befitting a hostess. Instead, she’s chosen to stir trouble on the very day of Xiao Yeyang’s capping ceremony. How disgraceful."
Wu Xirong knew well that Kang Naixin despised concubines and looked down on social climbers like Princess Consort Ma who fawned upon those in power. Still, she cautioned her, "Keep your voice down."
Kang Naixin gave a carefree smile and did not continue.
"It’s truly shameless, they’re not even married yet, and here they are, flirting with each other in front of everyone."
Among the young ladies, someone said sourly.
Daohua glanced at the person speaking and saw that the girl was standing beside Jiang Wanying. She indifferently withdrew her gaze, ignoring the various looks cast her way, and walked straight to the railing to look down at the hall.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang was indeed still standing there, she smiled and waved her fan.
Xiao Yeyang, upon seeing Daohua by Madam Li’s side, smiled and headed to the main hall.
Observing this scene, the ladies and young misses in the attic couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sourness.
