Chapter 491 - 152: Attending the Banquet_7
"What do you mean?" Mother Shen smiled and said, "It’s an honor for our residence that Her Highness the Princess has come to visit."
Princess Yongning tenderly replied, "Madam Shen is too kind. Please don’t mind me, carry on as you were before." She naturally took a seat next to Shen Ruyun.
Shen Ruyun acted as if she had received a great honor, sitting up even straighter, holding her head high.
To Jiang Li, however, this sight was nauseatingly revolting.
"The Shen family is almost groveling," Liu Xu said quietly, "Lord Shen seems like a man of integrity, so why are his family members..."
"You can know someone’s face, but not their heart," Jiang Li simply said. After all, she knew best whether Shen Yurong was truly a man of integrity.
Princess Yongning glanced over at Shen Yurong as if nothing was amiss, but upon noticing that she wasn’t paying attention, a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes, which she quickly concealed before resuming her elegant conversation with the ladies present.
Those eager to please Princess Yongning were not few. Madam Jiang the Elder and Lady Lu, however, remained seated without moving, not even bothering to greet the Princess. Since Princess Yongning was Prince Cheng’s sister and he was in league with the Right Chancellor—who was an adversary of the Jiang Family—there was naturally nothing to be said.
