Chapter 298: Second Update
Nanny Yun hurriedly tugged at Zheng Nianru’s sleeve, while Fu Dong and Nian Xia who followed were also too scared to utter a word; how unlucky it was to encounter Eldest Madam Zong at this moment.
"Commandery Princess—" Nanny Yun couldn’t help but raise her voice to remind her; she clearly saw that her own Commandery Princess didn’t want to bother with Eldest Madam Zong in front of her.
Indeed, how could Nanny Yun not know? With such a commotion, Eldest Madam Zong had not come out at the start, and now she chose this moment to appear. She clearly did not consider them as part of her own family, her intentions were elsewhere. How was their Commandery Princess supposed to react now?
Eldest Madam Zong felt somewhat displeased; even though Zheng Nianru was not yet officially their Zong Sheng Family’s daughter-in-law, the betrothal had been set, and it was only proper for her to receive some respect.
Second Madam Geng immediately pulled at Eldest Madam Zong’s sleeve.
Don’t be foolish, she’s not yet married into your family; she remains a Commandery Princess, and Prince Duan’s status is there to be seen.
"Princess Chao Ren, for my sake, let’s put this matter to rest," Eldest Madam Zong took a deep breath. Their Zong Sheng Family had always been the representative of all aristocratic families. Making such a fuss over idle gossip would only lead to mockery in the future.
Moreover, given the status and reputation of the Zong Sheng Family, they were above squabbling with such people, and the pride of Zong Sheng Residence was there for all to see. Naturally, Eldest Madam Zong could understand that this Commandery Princess lacked guidance and therefore couldn’t perceive the intricacies at play; however, in time, she would patiently explain.
Zheng Nianru looked at Eldest Madam Zong, not that she had no impression of her. In her previous life, Eldest Madam Zong’s humble yet poised demeanor had left a somewhat favorable impression on her.
