无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

They came over merely to announce their status and laugh at the new Princess Consort.

What about being the main wife?

Still forced to drink contraceptive soup by the Prince, and not given the housekeeper’s authority.

It’s just a joke.

Never thought of bowing down to her in the first place.

Originally thought that she had lost face and would not bring up this matter out of concern for her dignity.

Offending them, who hold the authority of housekeeper, could make her life unbearable in the backyard, right?

Who would have thought, she not only enjoyed herself, using ice and eating fruit, but also casually reminded them to kneel.

It’s really…

Jiang Ning ate a grape and muttered, “It seems that there are no rules in this mansion. No wonder they say when the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked. The master doesn’t follow the rules, and those below follow suit. It is embarrassing when it spreads out. Oh well, I don’t care about these things…”

Madam Zhao hurriedly said, “Princess Consort, don’t say that. It was our fault for being ignorant and forgetting the rules. But don’t involve His Highness; he’s too noble to be affected by this.”

She was afraid that Jiang Ning would speak recklessly outside.

If she ruined the Prince’s reputation and word got around the palace, it would be strange if the Prince didn’t strangle them.

She gestured to Maid Fang, and the two knelt down and bowed.

“You may all get up,” Jiang Ning said with a smile, “Actually, I should have given you a welcome gift, but as you know, I’m in such a situation that I can’t control the household affairs, and I need these bits of silver for my living expenses. I really couldn’t spare anything to reward you. Don’t feel offended, all right?”

The two palace maids were speechless.

The mistress of other families, even if genuinely poor, would still pretend to be generous and give away a few decent pieces of jewelry to the concubines and their servants.

How come everything changed when it came to her?

No matter what, she was the legitimate daughter of the Jiang Family and had brought so many dowries when she married in. Did they all turn a blind eye to that?

And she even had the nerve to pretend to be poor and not give a welcome gift.

Was this not bowing down for nothing?

It was simply maddening.

Jiang Ning looked at them, “Is there anything else? My body is not well, and I need some peace and quiet to rest. Aside from visiting me daily in the morning and evening, there’s no need for you two to come over at other times. So many people following you when you go out is quite noisy.”

Madam Zhao and Maid Fang:”?!?!”

Visiting her every morning and evening?

Just that, and they didn’t need to visit her at other times?

She even casually mocked their low status, saying they had so many servants following them when they went out.

Wasn’t she bothered by the noise of her own maids chattering and laughing in her room?

How could the Princess Consort be so annoying?

The two palace maids, with a dry smile, stood up and left empty-handed.

Returning to their courtyard, Madam Zhao slapped the stewardess and scolded, “Who allowed you to send ice to Laurel Garden? And those fruits, why would you give-away?”

The stewardess covered her face, “I never gave them ice.”

Another stewardess defended, “Madam, you misunderstood. The ice in the main room was bought by them with their own money from outside.”

“Did she withdraw money from the account?”

“No,” the stewardess muttered discontentedly while touching her burning cheek, “She, after all, is the main daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

With so many dowries, she can’t lack these bits and bobs…”

She was clearly mocking her lowly origin.

Madam Zhao was furious.

Maid Fang tried to console her, “Elder sister, why bother getting angry with her? The Prince is already tired of her. Now that she has no authority over the household affairs and the Prince doesn’t like her anymore, she’s just a cripple for us to manipulate at will..”
