Chapter 2010: Chapter 2010: Worthless (2)
The Xu Family guest courtyard.
Xu Mengying had already woken up, but her tears hadn’t stopped. She had two children in total, her eldest daughter, Wang Zhengzheng, who grew up with her grandmother and in the palace since childhood, was the pride of the Wang Family.
And her son is only five years old now, still young.
But now, the daughter is just gone without a word. She really... really can’t accept it.
"Enough." Wang Jingze was upset by his wife’s crying, "What’s there to cry about?"
"She was our daughter..."
"You know she was our daughter." Wang Jingze frowned, "But look at her, what has she been taught to become all these years?"
"Become what?" Xu Mengying was stunned.
"Stabbing paper dolls." Wang Jingze took a heavy breath, "Is that what a noble lady should be doing? Don’t you know that occult events have always been very serious since ancient times?"
Xu Mengying opened her mouth, suddenly feeling a bit tight in her throat.
"That girl is trying to drag the Wang Family into the mud." Wang Jingze leaned closer to Xu Mengying, "She’s dead now, if she weren’t, and this matter were discovered, what do you think the Emperor would do? Yang Ruxin is no ordinary person, she has achieved battle merits at the frontier; she has won against the challenges from the Yuan Country’s envoy..."
Xu Mengying stared wide-eyed at Wang Jingze.
"This is the good daughter you raised." Wang Jingze looked at Xu Mengying with a menacing expression.
"You..."
Wang Jingze straightened up, his expression softened a bit: "Tomorrow, go to the Gu Family and apologize to Madam Ruyi."
"Why?" Xu Mengying abruptly straightened up, "My mother is a County Princess, personally conferred by the late Emperor..."
"Your mother might be a County Princess, but that’s only because of the face of the old Commandery Prince Tai." Wang Jingze’s face turned grim, "But do you know the situation with old Commandery Prince Tai now? The Empress Dowager is probably tired of your mother long ago..." The County Princess fainted, and the Empress Dowager didn’t send anyone to inquire, which says it all.
"You..." Xu Mengying’s face turned pale, yet she also knew. Her mother has always been domineering, making many people dissatisfied for a long time, then indulged Zhengzheng to be lawless. Now even her own brother and sister-in-law have inadvertently revealed their past dissatisfaction.
"Don’t forget, you are now the wife of the Wang Family. If you still want to rely on your maternal family’s influence, better drop that thought." Wang Jingze’s tone softened further, "Haven’t you seen the political climate in court? The Crown Prince is no longer the sickly person he used to be, his position is unshakeable, and Gu Qingheng and his wife are his right-hand couple..." Never seen anyone dumber than his own mother-in-law.
Outside, people are all making good relations with the Gu Family, and yet she wants to tear faces with them, it’s really not as he said, just that the title of Anning County Princess truly isn’t worth more than Madam Ruyi right now.
"What if I don’t go?" Xu Mengying had returned to composure, raising her eyes to Wang Jingze.
"Then just don’t go anywhere." Wang Jingze curled his lips, "Your daughter was killed, you’re distraught. After you return, head to the family temple or nun’s monastery to meditate..."
"Wang Jingze, you..." Xu Mengying was truly shocked, she had always prided herself on her marriage, but now it seems to have been a joke.
"Suit yourself." Wang Jingze didn’t even look at her as he turned and left the room.
Xu Mengying was furious, but helpless. There was no way around it, she was the wife of the Wang Family.
