Chapter 249 Mother and Son Shame
Just when everyone thought that the confrontation between Princess Ning'an and Shen Junxing should have come to an end, Old Madam Shen jumped out angrily.
Seeing her son suffer such a great loss at the hands of Qin Ruo, Old Madam Shen could not bear it for a moment.
She stood up and knocked the ground heavily with the cane in her hand a few times, then scolded Qin Ruo harshly.
"Princess Ning'an, don't be so arrogant. My family's Xing'er is your elder after all, you are so disrespectful! You are an uneducated person! How dare you act so arrogantly! If this happened in my Shen family, I would punish you according to the family rules! You come from a humble family and you really don't know the order of respect and etiquette!"
One left, and another came? Are they playing a round-robin game?
Especially when she saw Tang Qingmei's gloating expression next to Old Madam Shen, Qin Ruo's face showed a hint of impatience.
Is it so difficult to just drink tea quietly?
"Old lady, that's enough! No matter what my Ruo'er is like, it's not your turn to point fingers. So what if she comes from a humble family? Should I eat your food? The emperor has made my Ruo'er a princess, which proves that she is a noble person with both talent and virtue. But you, in front of so many people, just pick on my Ruo'er and keep finding fault with her. Who do you think you are? Where is your upbringing as a member of a wealthy family? Did a dog eat you? Humph!"
Old Mrs. Qin, who was sitting at the desk behind Qin Ruo, could no longer bear it and no longer cared about the Shen family or the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Now when she saw the expressions on the faces of Old Madam Shen and her son, she became furious.
This mother and son take turns to make things difficult for their granddaughter. Do they really think that the whole world should be named Shen?
Our own Ruo'er is very capable, otherwise why would the emperor confer the title of princess on Ruo'er, and not confer the title of princess on the granddaughter of the Shen family?
If Xun Dong had not reminded her repeatedly before coming to listen more and talk less at the banquet, and she was afraid of causing trouble for her own children, she would have wanted to scold Shen Junxing as soon as he opened his mouth.
She couldn't tolerate the fact that the other parties were bullying her family members one by one.
After Old Lady Qin finished scolding, she suddenly felt relaxed all over.
Looking at the Shen family again, they didn’t seem so scary.
"Grandma, sit down and don't argue with a fool." Qin Ruo slowly stood up and gently opened her red lips to signal Grandma Qin to sit back.
"What are you talking about? You are just a country woman, how can you have the right to speak here?" Old Madam Shen was furious, pointing the cane in the direction of Old Lady Qin and Qin Ruo, her lips trembling with anger.
"I think your tone is worse than your athlete's foot. I don't like people pointing fingers at me."
Qin Ruo's sleeves moved, and the next second Madam Shen felt a shock in her palm, and the crutch in her hand was knocked away and fell in the middle of the hall.
Suddenly, the hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
Everyone's heart trembled. Some of those who were close to Old Madam Shen ignored etiquette and walked forward to look at the crutches on the ground with shocked eyes.
I saw that Madam Shen's walking stick was actually broken, with a small piece of silver clearly embedded in the broken end.
How much internal strength is needed to be able to do this?
"Princess Ning'an is actually a martial arts master!" The people who gathered around to check couldn't help but exclaimed.
When he looked at Qin Ruo, there was actually a surge of admiration in his eyes.
"Haha, Princess Ning'an, you have great skills! I'm really impressed." A man dressed as a military general laughed and bowed in the direction of Qin Ruo.
The person who stood up to speak was the military general who had strongly refuted the remarks of the Censor and others opposing the enthronement ceremony in the court that day.
"General, thank you for your compliment. Ning An doesn't deserve it." Qin Ruo smiled and returned the compliment.
Then, Qin Ruo looked in the direction of Old Madam Shen, and suddenly her full energy was released.
"I don't know when Lord Shen became my elder. I have never liked to make friends with relatives, especially those of you who claim to be from high-class families. If we really want to talk about superiority and inferiority, he is a minister, and I am a princess personally appointed by the emperor. Who is superior and who is inferior? I can't explain it clearly because I come from a humble family. Why don't you explain it to me?"
"Older means elder? According to you, does the emperor have to bow to you when he sees you? My upbringing is to face well-educated people, unfortunately you are not. You ask me what I am? If you are not blind, don't just use your ears to understand me."
"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever said anything so disrespectful? You are so young, why are you so difficult to get along with?"
Seeing her crutch slip out of her hand, Mrs. Shen was shocked for a moment. She lost face in front of everyone and her face was filled with shame and anger.
Hearing Qin Ruo's remarks, he was even more frightened. Who dares to claim to be an elder in front of the emperor?
So much so that the language of rebuttal began to become incoherent.
"Oh! So the old lady has two sets of standards for being a person? This really broadens my horizons. You say I'm a hard person to get along with? You misunderstood. I'm actually quite easy to get along with. If you really can't get along with me, then you have to look for the reason in yourself."
After Qin Ruo said this, the atmosphere in the hall became even more subtle.
The guests either chuckled or exchanged meaningful glances.
Qin Ruo didn't care and just sat back down after saying that.
"Princess Ning'an, why must you be so unreasonable?" Shen Junxing's momentum obviously weakened.
The scene just now not only shocked everyone present, but even Shen Junxing was quite surprised.
After all, in his eyes, Qin Ruo has always been a person who has no real evidence and does not know his place.
"It's not my fault that I was bitten by a dog. Besides, why should I let go of someone when I'm right? Don't you agree, Lord Shen?"
Qin Ruo took the tea from Mo Yue without even raising her head, without a trace of fluctuation in her eyes.
Old Madam Shen suffered a defeat, and after receiving a look from her son telling her to shut up, she sat back in her seat in dejection.
"Haha, Princess Ning'an is really a person of temperament. Lord Shen is a magnanimous person. He should not bother with a junior. Everyone is here tonight to welcome the eldest princess and Princess Ning'an. It's really not a good thing to do this." Mrs. Lin laughed out loud.
It seemed like he was trying to smooth things over, but in fact, everyone present could hear that he was clearly referring to the fact that Madam Shen and her son were taking advantage of their seniority and acting aggressively regardless of the occasion.
The atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely awkward.
Mrs. Lin and her daughter Lin Wanning arrived at the table just a little later than Qin Ruo.
On the way into the palace, Luzhu quietly told Mrs. Lin that Qin Ruo had diagnosed her daughter with pregnancy, including words of warning to Lu Jingchen.
Regardless of whether her daughter was really pregnant, Mrs. Lin was grateful to Qin Ruo for her righteous words and fighting for her daughter.
Mrs. Lin raised the teacup in her hand and gestured to Qin Ruo with a smile.
Qin Ruo smiled slightly and raised her glass gently in response.
The Lin family is a loyal family that never participates in party disputes. They are also favored by the emperor, so they are not afraid of offending anyone at all.
