Tang Zhuyun sighed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come anymore."
Now that the Crown Princess knows her identity, she'll cause trouble sooner or later.
Once it's made public, trouble will likely follow.
From now on, this soup kitchen will have to be handed over to someone else.
Fortunately, there have been few patients recently, so she plans to hire a doctor to continue seeing patients for a while.
"If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future," Tang Zhuyun said to Qin Sang, "Please have someone come to the Prince's residence to let me know. After all, we've known each other for a while and we get along quite well."
Qin Sang bowed her head in agreement and quickly left.
Xiu'er said, "Sangsang is indeed a good person. If others knew your identity, they would all flock to you..."
Tang Zhuyun, seeing the disdainful and accusatory looks from the noble ladies around her, chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Let's go, pack our things, and head back to the Prince's Mansion!"
The Prince of Jin was very satisfied with Tang Zhuyun's performance.
Finally, her gun was no longer pointed at him, but rather aimed at an outsider.
Zong Heng was Crown Prince's Faction, so wasn't he his enemy?
He even had the feeling that Tang Zhuyun was helping him vent his anger.
This was the first time Tang Zhuyun had ever been so satisfied with the Prince of Jin.
--The intelligence was timely and the preparations were thorough, which led to a crushing defeat for the enemy, and they even ate half a bowl more of rice.
"Have you figured out how to deal with the Crown Princess?" Prince of Jin asked, noticing that she was humming a tune while making the bed, clearly in a good mood.
"Is there even a need to think about it? We can improvise on the spot."
There are some things I cannot tell the Prince of Jin.
Although he didn't intend to become a princess, he was very possessive.
"What, you really want to see her?"
"To be honest, I don't want to," Tang Zhuyun sat down on the edge of the bed, "But it has to be resolved so she won't bother me."
"Don't go," said Prince of Jin. "I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. If she can't stand it, she'll come looking for you. She can't do anything in the Prince's residence."
Tang Zhuyun changed the subject.
In the following days, although they couldn't go out, the two little ones were quite happy staying at home because of Jiaojiao.
As expected, the Crown Princess sent people every day to summon Tang Zhuyun to the Eastern Palace, but the latter ignored them all.
On the fifth day, Tang Zhuyun finally agreed.
While she went to change her clothes, Prince of Jin summoned Nanxing and instructed her, "Protect your mistress well. Don't be afraid to cause a huge uproar, but you must not let her suffer any losses."
Nanxing nodded in agreement.
Tang Zhuyun did not bring Xiu'er.
Xiu'er was very worried. "Your Highness, please take me with you; what if you get bullied?"
"Nanxing can help me beat them up," Tang Zhuyun said with a grin. "Alright, I'll be back soon, don't worry."
Xiu'er is impulsive and easily caught in her compromising situation, making her a target for criticism.
After all, the Crown Princess couldn't touch her, but finding a reason to deal with the people around her was still easy.
Yanran wanted to go too, but was also refused.
Tang Zhuyun then took Nanxing to the Eastern Palace.
She was led by a palace maid from the Eastern Palace to the Crown Princess's courtyard, where she met the Crown Princess, Lady Zong, and many other Noble Lady and women again.
Tsk tsk, it seems the Crown Princess is determined to embarrass her in front of everyone.
Great. If there aren't many people, even if you perform exceptionally well, no one will know. Wouldn't that be like wearing fine clothes in the dark?
Tang Zhuyun calmly performed the curtsy to the Crown Princess according to the rules.
The Crown Princess remained expressionless, still talking to the Noble Lady beside her.
Tsk tsk, is this some kind of revenge, copying what they did?
Tang Zhuyun wasn't that foolish. She stood up, supporting her back, and said, "Your Highness, it's so lively here. Actually, as a widow, I shouldn't be joining in such a commotion, but I couldn't refuse Your Highness's invitation..."
"How dare you!" the old woman beside the Crown Princess shouted angrily, "Consort of the Prince of Jin, Her Majesty did not tell you to get up, so why did you get up?"
Tang Zhuyun feigned surprise. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't know about the hereditary deafness in the Zong Family. But luckily I got up, otherwise if word got out that the Crown Princess was making things difficult for the widow of Prince of Jin, that would be so awful! Isn't that right, Your Highness?"
She spoke the last few words deliberately loudly, as if she were really talking to a deaf person.
The Crown Princess blushed slightly, her expression stern. "Sister-in-law, since you know your place, do you realize your mistake by going out and showing your face in public?"
Tang Zhuyun: "I endured the immense grief of losing my husband to treat the disaster victims. What wrong have I done? If Your Majesty were in the same situation as me, could you have done better?"
Don't believe me? Try losing your husband yourself!
The Crown Princess flew into a rage. "Insolence! Guards..."
"Your Majesty, please don't be agitated," Tang Zhuyun said with a forced smile. "There are so many people here. You will be the Empress of the land in the future. It's not good to lose your composure like this. I'll tell you something else later; how can you bear that!"
"Tang Zhuyun! You..."
"Your Majesty, could you please dismiss everyone else so I can speak with you alone for a few minutes?"
"I cannot allow you to behave like this. Today, on behalf of the Empress, I will teach you a lesson so that you will not bring shame to the royal family in the future!"
The Crown Princess blushed deeply; she was clearly a fool.
--Not everyone who sits in a high position has enough wisdom and a broad enough vision. Among so many influential people, some people are just incredibly lucky. Tang Zhuyun believes that the Crown Princess is one of those few people.
"Your Majesty, I want to talk to you about my affair with Lord Zong. Are you sure you want to make this public? I don't mind, since I'm completely open and honest, but what about Lord Zong? I'm afraid it will affect him."
The Crown Princess nearly ground her teeth to powder.
But she dared not take the risk.
Whether it's true or false, if Zong Heng's reputation is ruined, her family will blame her terribly.
Amidst the speculative and curious gazes of the crowd, the Crown Princess ordered them all to leave, then bluntly stated, "Tang Zhuyun, you're very good..."
"Thank you for the compliment. I think I'm pretty good too," Tang Zhuyun said with a half-smile. "If you think I'm good, that's even better. After all, you're Zong Heng's older sister, and I care a lot about your opinion of me."
"What did you say!"
"I said," Tang Zhuyun smiled slightly, "Do you know that Zong Heng has two red moles in that place he can't be intimate with?"
The Crown Princess's face changed drastically. "Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!"
Her brother has always been outstanding; how could he have an affair with such a disgraced woman!
Tang Zhuyun: "You can ask him if you don't believe me. What do you think I've been busy with these past few days? Wasn't it all to rekindle our old flame? So we're all family, let's stop making a scene. If we make a scene, everyone will know, and that won't be good, will it?"
"I don't care about any titles or honors, after all, I am the widow of the Prince of Jin," she continued. "So please turn a blind eye. Making a scene won't be good for anyone; if you push me too far, I might do something drastic!"
She wasn't afraid at all that her lie would be exposed.
Even if the Crown Princess knew the truth, she would be afraid that she would be doomed.
If Zong Heng so capable, he should go around taking off his pants and showing them to everyone to prove his innocence!
Moreover, how could the Crown Princess possibly bring it up?
Tang Zhuyun felt no remorse for bullying someone with a brain disability.
