Chapter 559 - 287 Counterattack_3
Wong Wen and her two elders all blushed, but dared not speak.
Qian Yixiu bowed slightly to the Eldest Princess with tears glimmering in her eyes and said, "Eldest Princess, I’m sorry. As a junior born in the countryside with inadequate education, I have been subjected to such humiliation and have tarnished your plum banquet. I have also disgraced the face of my royal great-grandmother, and alongside her, I have suffered insults. I will definitely go to the palace and apologize to her in person. I have even brought shame upon the spirit of my maternal grandmother in heaven, and I will kneel before her memorial tablet to apologize."
Among Qian Yixiu’s elders were the Empress Dowager and Princess Zi Yang.
Lady Fu hugged Qian Yixiu and said bitterly, "Good child, your aunt knows you’ve been wronged. Tomorrow your aunt will accompany you to apologize to the Empress Dowager. We, as your elders, have not fulfilled our duties."
Fengyang became somewhat panicked and, pointing at Qian Yixiu, accused, "You’re really good with words. I clearly said your rural elders didn’t teach you well, how did you involve the Empress Dowager and Princess Zi Yang?"
Qian Yixiu grew even more upset and, with a trembling voice, asked, "Does the Princess mean to say that I am not a descendent of the Empress Dowager and my maternal grandmother, that they are not my elders? Heavens, how can you say such a thing! I must go back and ask my grandfather if my mother is truly the biological daughter of Princess Zi Yang."
From somewhere, a few soft chuckles were heard.
Fengyang was so angry that she pointed at her and was at a loss for words.
Not to mention that the Eldest Princess was amused, even the Former Imperial Consort and Old Lady Yue were amused as well.
