Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 19: Autumn Hunting

Madam Lu was relieved with Zhao Chengjun's confirmation. All in all, the Lu family was married to Prince Jing's mansion, not Zhao Zixun. Marriage was meant to tie two families together. As long as Zhao Chengjun recognized Lu Yufei's position in the mansion, no matter how many concubines Zhao Zixun asks for or which concubine he favors later, there would be no threat to Lu Yufei's position.

That was good enough. Madam Lu was a standard official's wife. In her eyes, which man did not sleep around with other women, as long as her position as the legitimate wife was stable, then just turn a blind eye to other things. Anyway, the concubine's room was just a plaything, even if they give birth to a child, in the end, they will have to call Lu Yufei a mother.

Therefore, did it matter on which maidservant Shizi has his heart for? Madam Lu immediately smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness. Prince Jing is very observant and has a clear distinction between public and private affairs. So, he is naturally trustworthy."

Lu Yufei has been dumbfounded since Shizi saved others. At the moment, under the reminder of her mother, she slowly responded and saluted Jing Wang, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhao Chengjun was fed up with this farce. He did not want to watch it anymore. He said indifferently, "Madam Lu has been delayed for a long time today. Later, I will send someone to make amends. Tongxiu, send off Madam Lu and Miss Lu out of the mansion."

Tongxiu answered, "Yes."

Madam Lu was about to say something, and Zhao Chengjun had already expected it, "As for Lu's third young lady, she is ill and it's inconvenient to move, so she should stay in the mansion to recuperate. Once the third young lady's condition improves, I will send her back to the Lu mansion immediately. Madam Lu can rest assured."

Madam Lu was relieved, "Thank you, Your Highness. I'll take my leave now."

Madam Lu knew that Prince Jing was in a bad mood right now, and she did not want to be vapid anymore, and soon took Lu Yufei away. After the Lu family left, only the people from Prince Jing's mansion were left in the room, and everyone inside and outside was obviously tense.

The oncoming events cast their shadows before them. Everyone knew that Prince Jing was very mad, and everyone was waiting for the moment the guillotine to fall. However, Zhao Chengjun's face was calm. He picked up the teacup and slowly skimming the tea's foam on the surface of the tea with it's lid.

The lid of the teacup scuffed the edge of the cup and made a slight scraping sound, which fell into everyone's ears, was more terrifying than the sound of sharpening a knife. Tang Shishi felt that he might as well go ballistic, this was more frightening than serving Empress Dowager Yao.

Zhao Chengjun suddenly closed the lid of the teacup and made a soft "clink" sound. Zhao Zixun could not stand it any longer. He knelt heavily on the ground, "This son is guilty. Father, please punish."

"Oh?" Zhao Chengjun put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Zixun calmly, "What is your crime?"

Zhao Zixun lowered his head, "This son should not save others, should not disobey father, and should not leave holding another woman in front of the future Shizi Consort."

It was over. Tang Shishi sighed silently in her heart. Based on her understanding of Prince Jing these days, she knew that Zhao Zixun had made a big blunder.

Zhao Chengjun looked at Zhao Zixun quietly and suddenly snickered, "Good ah. If I don't let you save people does this mean I'm evil?"

Liu Ji, this old man who has been serving for many years, knew that this was bad and said in a hurry, "Wangye, please calm down. Shizi is young and ignorant... ..."
