Chapter 729 - 727: Where there’s no wind, there’s no wave.
Shi Lan faced the Principal Wife she would be serving in the future, wanting to explain but finding the words caught in her throat. She could only glance at the attending mama, signaling her to pass the message to her mother, and hurriedly find someone to deal with the accident that seemed poised to escalate.
Miss Ye was already in her twenties and must keep her composure, absolutely should not start fighting here, at least not until her grandmother and mother arrived.
Sun Shumin, the daughter of Vice Minister Sun, noticed the hostility in Han Yufang’s tone and imperceptibly stepped back half a pace. She could not afford to offend either Miss Han or Miss Ye. Even if she would enter Prince Yu’s Mansion in the future, she still had to make a living under Han Yufang.
And as for Miss Ye, it was even more advisable to stay far away. Such a woman, anyone who cared even slightly about status and reputation should avoid. She, on the other hand, didn’t care about reputation; once her temper flared, she would be willing to lose a layer of skin just to scratch the other party a few times.
With such people, one really couldn’t compete.
At this moment, Grandma Wang’s face was devoid of color. Miss Han was to be a princess consort, naturally unafraid of Miss Ye. Her family, however, couldn’t handle this. This was a disaster she had brought upon her husband’s family.
"Fourth Grandma Ji, please think again, I didn’t say that. I was just agreeing with someone else’s remarks, none of us confirmed it, we just heard, we said it might be possible. Fourth Grandma Ji, Miss Han, I beg you both to speak a word of justice for me," Grandma Wang pleaded with a sobbing tone.
The people in the hall showed pity; at this time, they still thought they were just onlookers, having the mood to sympathize with Grandma Wang. The people Grandma Wang was facing weren’t ones just anyone could afford to provoke. Even if Miss Han and Miss Ye caused a scene, the blame would have to fall on Grandma Wang. What would she use to explain to her husband’s family when she got home?
Han Yufang assumed the role of a neutral arbiter, displeasedly said, "You really don’t know how to behave, what were you doing when you were talking? Now that the trouble has arisen, you want to go back on your words. Where’s the justice in that? Could anyone just comment on the actions of the Duke’s Mansion’s Miss Ye?"
Ye Xinyan raised her eyebrows. Was the daughter of the Chancellor suggesting that although she might act as Grandma Wang had described, she shouldn’t be casually mentioned by others?
