Chapter 2030: The Miserable Fiancée vs. The Noble Lady (Part 65)

After all, what Chang Fei said about the Chang Family did not seem like a deception at all.

Thinking of this, Chen Mingzhu felt slightly assured.

She coldly laughed and looked at Gu Shengyin, sharply asking: "Oh? Is it that the busy highborn County Princess Si Fang needs me to remind you of the so-called elder brother you’ve called for over a decade, Chang Fei? So soon, you don’t remember anymore?"

Gu Shengyin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, revealing a trace of surprise on her face, seemingly not expecting her to know Chang Fei.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Mingzhu became even more confident.

She turned her tone and said, "Or perhaps the County Princess Si Fang didn’t forget, but intentionally chose to forget?"

The entire flower hall fell into a strange silence due to their conversation.

Many people were examining the two confrontational figures, with ears perked for gossip.

At this moment, Lady of the Marquis Mingyi almost twisted the handkerchief in her sleeves.

She completely couldn’t understand why her daughter would want to oppose the County Princess Si Fang?

She’s the Princess Consort Ping, personally decreed by His Majesty!

Even if what she said today were true, what of it? How could it affect the County Princess Si Fang?

After a month, she would still marry with grandeur, becoming the noble Princess Consort Ping.

While opposing her, the Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion...

Lady of the Marquis Mingyi refused to speculate on this possibility.

In Chen Mingzhu’s triumphant gaze, she suddenly stepped forward to her daughter’s side.

Bowing slightly to Gu Shengyin, Lady of the Marquis Mingyi apologetically said: "Mingzhu has been having nightmares lately, hence her words are often incoherent. I ask the County Princess Si Fang to not take it seriously."

These words meant she wanted to act as if it never happened.

The nearby women all looked at Gu Shengyin, eager to hear her reaction.

"Mother..." Chen Mingzhu looked at Lady of the Marquis Mingyi in disbelief, seemingly unable to understand why she sided with the opponent in a situation where she had the upper hand.

Lady of the Marquis Mingyi shot her a fierce glance, signaling her to shut up: "Be obedient, I’ll deal with you when we return!"

Gu Shengyin gave Lady of the Marquis Mingyi a surprised look.

She said it excellently.

If Gu Shengyin indeed had done something unfavorable to Chang Fei as Chen Mingzhu implied, then her words offered Gu Shengyin a way out.

With such words, it would rectify the previous imprudent remarks by Chen Mingzhu, and perhaps even gain her favor.

Gu Shengyin sighed at the wonders of inheritance: How could a woman as clever as Lady of the Marquis Mingyi give birth to someone as brainless as Chen Mingzhu?

If she were in a good mood, she might not bother to hold Chen Mingzhu accountable.

But unfortunately, her mood was rather spoiled by Chen Mingzhu.

Moreover, the main issue here is, if she overlooked it lightly, others might genuinely believe the Chang Family had done something unjust.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Gu Shengyin softly laughed.

"Lady of the Marquis Mingyi indeed should find a renowned physician to thoroughly examine Miss Chen. Our Chang Family did have a young master raised from childhood, but he found his true relatives over half a year ago, changed his name, and was entered into his biological father’s family genealogy."

She fixed her gaze on Chen Mingzhu, ambiguously saying: "I don’t quite understand, how Young Master Shi, as the legitimate eldest son of the Shi Family in Cloud State, could be destitute as Miss Chen suggests?"

"Moreover..." She gently used a handkerchief to cover half her smile, concealing her grin, "This County Princess is quite curious, Miss Chen, why are you so concerned about Young Master Shi’s matters?"
