Chapter 2031: The Hapless Fiancée vs. The Aristocratic Young Lady (Part 66)

When she spoke these words, the face of the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi immediately turned very unpleasant.

And laughter from others in the hall also arose.

A Madam who never really got along with the Marquis Mingyi’s Mansion laughed and said: "County Princess, you picked a good time; you should be able to guess the thoughts of young men and women."

Gu Shengyin looked stunned for a moment, then blushed and smiled: "Oh, is that how it is? No wonder I said Miss Chen cared so much about Young Master Shi..."

The Lady of the Marquis Mingyi said coldly: "Please be careful with your words. Our Ming Zhu never steps out of the house; how could she know those outside men?"

She had already sensed the malice of these people.

If Chen Mingzhu had feelings for someone and rumors of her pining for outside men spread, which young master from prominent families would dare to marry her in the future?

She had to find a way to dismiss this matter.

Gu Shengyin replied softly: "Madam, you are mistaken. If Miss Chen wasn’t concerned about Young Master Shi, how could she even know his former name?"

Also, blame it on Chen Mingzhu’s usual behavior, which is hardly liked. At such times, apart from the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi, there’s not even a single person speaking for her.

Amid the intentional or unintentional laughter from everyone, the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi kept her face cold and endured with Chen Mingzhu, hurriedly leaving right after delivering the birthday gifts.

As for the previously mentioned Crown Prince of Prince An, she had no thoughts about it now.

"Smack!"

Back in the carriage, the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi could endure no longer and, for the first time, couldn’t maintain her poise and slapped Chen Mingzhu.

"Mother!" Chen Mingzhu looked at the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi with grievance and anger.

"You fool! How have I taught you all this time? Why do you keep opposing the County Princess Si Fang?"

The problem was her little brain, always failing to have the upper hand in confrontations!

Chen Mingzhu held her face and screamed sharply: "I know you never liked me. You’ve always resented not having a son, and everything about me disgusts you! If you dislike me, just say so and leave me be! Why do you always have to demean me?"

Hearing such rebellious words, the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi was so angry that her chest heaved, wishing she could faint on the spot.

This ungrateful child!

"You... you get out!"

Without saying another word, Chen Mingzhu fiercely ordered the carriage to stop and actually jumped out to run away.

The Lady of the Marquis Mingyi passed out this time.

...

When Gu Shengyin returned to the County’s Mansion, she was informed that Prince Ping had arrived.

She walked in: "How long have you been here? Why not notify me?"

Qi Chengxuan smiled and said: "Anyway, your mansion is exceedingly beautiful, and I enjoy staying a little longer."

He suddenly said: "Is there a grudge between you and that Chen Mingzhu?"

Clearly, he was aware of what happened today at Prince An’s Mansion.

Gu Shengyin thought for a moment and said: "Probably she resents my Flower King Pavilion for not giving her face? This Miss Chen dislikes me and always wants to harm me."

Speaking of resentment, the two truly have no real grudge.

Qi Chengxuan’s expression turned cold upon hearing this.

He likely investigated Chen Mingzhu specifically and despises this woman.

"I’ll have someone teach her a lesson."
