Chapter 206 Part 2
Zong Yunqian had just gotten into the carriage when Eldest Madam Zong wished she could hammer the person in front of her to half-death. However, before leaving the house, Old Madam Zong had instructed, again and again, that she must not lose her temper again as she still had to enter the palace later, and moreover, she had been whipped the night before. Her hand was raised mid-air, yet she let it fall again.
Gu Dao and Xi Feng, who were carrying gifts, also arrived in front of the carriage, intending to squeeze in and return with it. Before they could load the things into the carriage, they were kicked out by Eldest Madam Zong, two worthless servants following their master’s reckless antics.
Gu Dao and Xi Feng fell on their backsides on the ground and did not dare to approach again. Two guards gave them a look that said they were on their own and had already raised their whips; the carriage arrived at Zong Sheng Residence where servants waiting with fresh clothes, incense, headdresses, jade belts, and sachets had already gathered.
As soon as Zong Yunqian stepped down from the carriage, he saw Old Madam Zong personally standing at the entrance. Just as he was about to go forward and greet her, Eldest Madam Zong, without even glancing at Zong Yuanqian, directly instructed the waiting servants.
"Are you not hurrying to change the Princely Heir’s clothes? Is the carriage ready? What about the people accompanying him?"
Gasping for breath, Gu Dao and Xi Feng had just arrived and quickly moved forward to pay respects. Eldest Madam Zong was just about to say something—how could these two accompany them—but she was stopped by a stern look from Old Madam Zong.
Eldest Madam Zong sheepishly knew that Old Madam Zong was seriously angry this time; she hadn’t paid attention to Yunqian until now and was somewhat worried for him.
"What are you standing around for? Change your clothes and follow your master to the palace," Eldest Madam Zong said to Gu Dao and Xi Feng, as others had already fully prepared their clothes. Eldest Madam Zong, worried about her son, went inside.
"Mother," Zong Yunqian greeted, without the defiant and rebellious attitude of someone who had done something wrong, but rather in a gentle manner. Eldest Madam Zong’s nose tingled, wanting to blame but not daring to, she poked her son’s forehead angrily.
