Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Pretending Not to Know Each Other
Moreover, He Shi also knew that the Tianxiu Pavilion mentioned by the Zhao Family was actually run by her daughter, Xiaojiu. The clothes she wore all came from there.
Zhao Shi gestured happily as she arrived, but went back in a fit of anger.
She... she thought Wenyu was only being filial to her alone, and hurriedly came to show off, only to end up making a fool of herself!
When Zhao Shi returned, she happened to run into Zhang Shi. Upon seeing her, Zhang Shi immediately broke into a smile, "Second sister-in-law, I just happened to see you. A few days ago, Wenyu sent lots of fabrics, and I’ve already instructed them to make them into clothes. I haven’t seen Wenyu these past few days. If you see him, don’t forget to thank him for me."
Instantly, Zhao Shi felt even more troubled.
"No time." Zhao Shi said angrily.
Watching Zhao Shi leave in a huff, Zhang Shi looked puzzled.
In just a few days, the new bride will be entering the house. What’s up with this, why isn’t the second sister-in-law happy?
Inside, He Shi’s previously suppressed mood was alleviated significantly due to Zhao Shi’s disturbance.
"Still trying to show off. She still doesn’t know that Tianxiu Pavilion is run by you!" He Shi said as she looked at Ye Jiu.
Ye Jiu merely smiled.
This second sister-in-law, after so many years, still hasn’t made any progress. She hasn’t accomplished much, yet always loves to show off. Fortunately, after coming to the capital city, she has stayed away from the Zhao Family, and nothing too troublesome has happened in recent years.
This time, with Wenyu being appointed as a General, she is probably the most pleased. But who knows if she can still remember why Wenyu left home back then!
As Ye Jiu was returning, she happened to encounter the carriage from the Crown Prince Residence. Looking inside through the lifted curtain, Ye Jiu saw a familiar face with a smug smile. Of course, it was none other than the Crown Princess Consort herself!
Ye Jiu had a premonition that the days to come would likely only get more exciting.
Ye Jiu turned her head and said to Liang Xia, who was following her: "Let’s go to the palace."
"The Commandery Princess is entering the palace at this time?" Liang Xia asked.
One must know that although the Commandery Princess is showered with favor, she doesn’t particularly like going to the Imperial Palace, unless summoned or for unavoidable palace banquets.
What Liang Xia didn’t know was that Ye Jiu simply didn’t like performing all sorts of etiquette for others when entering the palace.
As for this time going to the palace, of course, it was necessary.
Back in those days, when she was replaced, the Crown Prince Residence played a significant role. So, they must bear at least half of the responsibility for the suffering she endured.
The Crown Princess Consort said she was going to Songye Temple for blessings, but in reality, she was living a comfortable life in a small courtyard, bullying others for fun.
Now that she has returned, a confrontation is just a matter of time. Naturally, she must seize the opportunity to air her grievances. Ye Jiu, nurtured by He Shi, is not someone who swallows grievances in silence.
At the Imperial Palace, when Ye Jiu entered, she happened to encounter Sikong Mo coming out.
In the eyes of outsiders, they should not know each other, so at this moment, they pretended not to recognize each other.
As they passed by each other, nothing of their acquaintance was noticeable.
Meanwhile, someone had already gone to report to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, Princess Changfu has entered the palace and ran into the War King at the entrance."
"Oh, did they have any interaction?" The old Emperor asked.
"No, it seems the War King does not recognize Princess Changfu, nor does Princess Changfu recognize the War King."
"Then what is Princess Changfu’s purpose for entering the palace?" The old Emperor asked again.
"Princess Changfu has now gone to see the Empress. As for her purpose, it is not yet known. I’ll send someone to find out."
At this, the old Emperor waved his hand, "No need, I will go personally."
