Chapter 190: A Year-Ending Friendship
Not long after Rong Enqing and Princess Anyang sat down, Old Lady Rong and Zhang came into the room.
The two were also arranged on the first floor, and their seats were at Rong Enqing's table.
Because it was a banquet on a snowy day, the Yang family placed a square table in the warm room with a charcoal basin under the table, so there were four people at each table.
In fact, apart from the division of floors, there are no strict requirements on who sits where.
However, since there was no deep hatred between them, they all sat together at tables and chatted with each other.
So, when Old Madam Rong and Zhang entered the room, the maid naturally led them to the table where Rong Enqing and the others were sitting.
"Oh, the wife of the Shun'an Marquis's mansion was not invited to sit upstairs?" Zhang saw Rong Enqing and Anyang County Lord, and she couldn't help but say something sarcastic. However, after listening to Mrs. Rong's introduction to Anyang County Lord, she didn't dare to target Anyang County Lord this time.
It’s a pity that she ignored the relationship between Princess Anyang and Rong Enqing.
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Anyang glanced at her coldly, "Where is the Madam sitting? Is it your turn to care?"
As soon as Zhang opened her mouth, Mrs. Rong's face darkened. Unfortunately, Zhang had already said it, and it was too late for her to stop her.
Hearing what Princess Anyang said, Mrs. Rong knew that Zhang had displeased Princess Anyang.
Thinking of the great achievements of Anyang County Lady, she really didn't dare to provoke her. She quickly reached out and pulled Zhang. She smiled and said, "Don't blame me, County Lady. My wife just can't control her mouth. In fact, she doesn't have any bad intentions."
"Oh, she didn't have any bad intentions, so she beat her own granddaughter, the second Miss Yun, to deafness? She didn't have any bad intentions, so she forced her own daughter, the fourth wife of the Yun family, to death?" Princess Anyang said with disdain, "Tsk tsk, if she really had any bad intentions, I dare not imagine what the result would be!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the banquet hall on the first floor instantly exploded.
Regarding the farce between the newly arrived Rong family in Beijing and the Shun'an Marquis Mansion, everyone had been watching it with a laughing stock attitude, and everyone was actually skeptical about the authenticity of the rumors.
After all, the wife of Shun'an Marquis's wife Rong Enqing was a daughter of the Rong family, and the fourth wife of the Marquis's wife, Xiao Rong, who died unexpectedly, was also a daughter of the Rong family. In the end, it was all a family matter.
Therefore, everyone feels that the possibility of exaggeration is higher.
However, what Princess Anyang said at this moment undoubtedly confirmed those rumors.
Who is the Princess of Anyang? She is a ruthless person who doesn't even care about princesses or princes! She doesn't even bother to lie or slander people!
Moreover, it is well known that Princess Anyang and the Lady Dowager of Shun'an Marquis' Mansion are on good terms.
Princess Anyang said this in public, clearly intending to stand up for Rong Enqing.
"Wow! Those rumors are actually true?"
"No way? Isn't the newly appointed Minister of Rites the eldest brother of Madam Rong?"
"Hey, we're all family, why make it so ugly?"
"Your granddaughter was deafened by your sister-in-law, can you tolerate that? Your mother's family forced your daughter-in-law to death, can you tolerate that?"
"Tsk tsk, I really can't believe that the Rong family are all ruthless people!"
"What kind of ruthless person? They are just a bunch of snakes and rats, right? Madam Rong is not a kind person. I didn't expect that her family members are even worse than her!"
……
But within a moment, all kinds of heart-wrenching remarks were heard in the field.
Mrs. Rong looked extremely unhappy, but she still suppressed her emotions and looked at Rong Enqing earnestly, "Enqing, your sister-in-law is not deliberately looking for trouble. Can't everyone get along peacefully in this situation today?"
Rong Enqing glanced at Old Lady Rong and said with a smile, "How could I be upset? I think it's Zhang Shuren who's upset, right?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang, who looked resentful, and suggested, "If you want the Rong family to settle down in the capital in peace and stability, I suggest that you should not let Zhang Shuren go out again.
"It doesn't matter if you offend me today. After all, our Shun'an Marquis Mansion is just a poor family. But, if you offend some big shot tomorrow, hehe..."
Mrs. Rong's face turned pale and blue, which was very interesting. But she still controlled her temper and said calmly, "You are right."
He didn't say a word to defend Zhang, nor did he argue with Rong Enqing about right and wrong. This was actually giving in.
Just when everyone was waiting to see Rong Enqing and Old Madam Rong quarreling and mother and daughter pulling each other's hair, Rong Enqing smiled and looked around and said loudly: "It is an honor for Rong to be able to talk about the farce between the Yun and Rong families and make everyone laugh. Hahaha, don't be polite, just say it, say it loudly, whoever says it well, this lady will reward you handsomely!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
At this moment, Princess Anyang burst into laughter at an inappropriate time.
"Hahaha, as expected, the Madam is very eclectic! I told you, my vision is still very good! Only someone as wonderful as the Madam is worthy of being my friend! Well, a friendship that transcends age!"
In fact, after she said those words just now, she was still a little worried that Madam Rong would be angry.
After all, this kind of thing is not easy to put on the table.
Normally, even if people fight to the death in private and wish to cut each other into pieces, they still have to maintain a certain social demeanor in public.
What's more, the matter also involves Mrs. Rong's family. If it is revealed, it will undoubtedly bring shame to both the Yun family and the Rong family.
Madam Rong is not only the head of the Marquis's Mansion, but also a married daughter of the Rong family. With this dual identity, she must be doubly embarrassed.
But who would have thought that Mrs. Rong had no shame at all... Uh, no! She didn't care about her face at all!
Well, just like her, free and unrestrained!
After Princess Anyang said this, the people around her dared not to talk about it anymore.
Rong Enqing was just mocking everyone in a sarcastic way, calling them gossipers. The Princess of Anyang would slap you in public if she caught you!
When Princess Anyang said this, it was clear that she was supporting Madam Rong.
Well, who dares to make Rong Enqing unhappy?
Old Mrs. Rong also looked at the two of them deeply, then turned and walked towards an empty table in the corner with Zhang, away from Rong Enqing and Princess Anyang.
Princess Anyang glanced at Mrs. Rong's back calmly, blinked at Rong Enqing, and whispered, "Your mother is so patient! She doesn't even get angry.
"If it were me, I would either beat up your troublemaker sister-in-law or scold all those gossipy women present!"
Rong Enqing couldn't help laughing and said with a smile: "So you are the Princess of Anyang County! A ruthless person that no one dares to provoke!"
"Are you praising me?" Princess Anyang looked at Rong Enqing with sparkling eyes.
She herself didn't realize that she didn't know when she started to address Rong Enqing from "you" to "you". There was less respect for the elders in her conversation, and more intimacy between friends.
Rong Enqing also looked at Princess Anyang with sparkling eyes, "Aren't you worthy of praise?"
“Hahahaha…” Princess Anyang laughed so hard that she fell backwards, unbridled and flamboyant.
At this moment, a voice sounded from not far away: "Hey, what good thing happened to the county lady? Why are you so happy? Tell us quickly so that we can be happy too!"
