It was obvious to everyone. This woman still had to ask?
Qu Tang’er endured. She continued with soft and gentle voice while replying the first madam.
The first madam once more continued questioning her with a cold voice: “I heard that on the wedding night eighth prince didn’t consummate marriage with you. Was there such thing?”
“Daniang is truly well-informed.” Qu Tang’er solemnly answered. But these words, using a solemn expression to speak, was quite strange.
The first madam coldly asked: “A disgrace. You are bringing shame on us, Qu household! You even have the nerve to come back alone. Do you know what kind of punishment you are going to bear?”
From start to finish, there was only the first madam’s questioning voice. It was obvious that inside the Qu manor, the one who had the words, decision-making rights and was sitting at the top was the first madam. As for that so-called old master Qu, he was henpecked. Thus, he also could only be shunt aside.
Qu Tang’er said: “Tang’er doesn’t know.”
“Housekeeper, stand aside. Don’t get in her way.”
“Jing Xin, you also stay aside.” As the first madam opened her mouth and had the housekeeper to retreat, Qu Tang’er also opened her mouth to have Jing Xin go a little further away. Without waiting for Jing Xin’s reaction, she conveniently gave her a push. Pushing her far away.
Old woman Qu having the housekeeper retreating was definitely not a good thing.
Married daughter, spilled water ——
“Married daughter, spilled water.” At the same time as Qu Tang’er contemplated inwardly this sentence, the first madam who has suddenly emerged also scolded her with these words. Before finishing her speech, all of a sudden, she ferociously spilled out a basket of cold water.
The water splashed around everywhere. It has accurately splashed toward Qu Tang’er, who was standing on the stairs.
Drip. Drip!
Water was drop by drop falling down.
“This is your punishment.” The first madam’s face was full of accusations. Inside her eyes was a very deep disgust.
It was just that when she saw Qu Tang’er’s state after being poured by water, not only didn’t her anger diminish, she was even more furious!
As it turns out…..
Qu Tang’er was still smiling lightly.
Her hair wasn’t wet, nor were her upper clothes. It was only because she has prepared beforehand. And now, she could finally tell Jing Xin, why it was important to take a beautiful cloak when going out. There was no reason. It was only for blocking a water. Regretfully, the hem of her skirt was not so fortunate. It was a little wet, but it was much better than having the whole body wet.
“Wretched girl. Did you grow wings? You even dare to take a cloak to block?!” The first madam was furious. Unfortunately, she has spilt all the water inside the basket at once. There was nothing to use.
“It’s Tang’er’s fault. Tang’er shouldn’t have used the cloak to block water. If the first madam is not satisfied, the first madam can let others pour Tang’er one more time.” Qu Tang’er slightly cowered her neck, her face showed a frightened expression. The corners of her mouth were twitching. She had to resist the urge to laugh. In any case, her current identity was eighth princess consort. But it was obvious that these people didn’t see her as the eighth princess consort.
These people didn’t conforming with rules.
They weren’t even a bit aware of that.
At this moment, seeing her giving in, if the first madam still clung to Qu Tang’er’s faults, it would make her appear narrow-minded. She coldly swept a glance at Qu Tang’er and turned fiercely like not wishing to give her more glances. She used the tone of a highborn woman giving a handout, “Why aren’t you coming in? What are you doing, standing there? Portraying a statue? Unbeknownst, how many lifetimes of misfortune we, Qu household, carried to actually give birth to such an unworthy daughter who concentrated only on bringing disgrace to Qu household.”
“Yes. Tang’er will immediately come in.” Qu Tang’er collected her expression. She dropped her glance and slightly lowered her head.
