The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Revenge on the Spot

The one who started to trouble Song Ci was Madam Ji, who was accompanying Ji Suhua to accompany the Dowager for a stroll through the shops.

In fact, among the noble families of the capital, there were some madams who valued their status and avoided showing up in public. When there was a need for clothes or jewelry, they would notify the well-known shopkeepers to bring new items to their door, or have them tailor-made.

However, there were also madams and young ladies who arranged to go out personally as a social engagement, like Princess Anping. She originally planned to meet another madam, but the other party was unexpectedly detained by some matter.

Some people just enjoyed the lively atmosphere, similar to Song Ci, this outsider who wanted to stroll ancient streets and shop till she dropped.

While some sought excitement purely for fun, others, like the group with the Dowager, displayed their status in public.

Given the Dowager’s status, she could get anything she desired simply by speaking a word, and shopkeepers would come to serve her. But no, she preferred others to kneel, respect, and fear her.

That is why she brought Madam Ji and the others out. But as it turned out, the Dowager was nearly angered to death by a foolish relative from her maternal family.

Listen to what nonsense Madam Ji said, starting with offensive words. She seemed to have forgotten past pain and dared to stab Song Ci’s heart. Was she not afraid of embarrassing herself?

”Shut up! Do you not know how to speak? How can you tear open old wounds in Madam Song’s heart?”

Everyone: ”...”

Quite a sharp retort!

Madam Ji felt a bit wronged. Did she say something wrong? Wasn’t the third lady of the Duke Ying Mansion having a miscarriage? How could a miscarriage be called good news?

Princess Anping’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The Ji family members, were their brains filled with crap?

She worriedly looked towards Song Ci, afraid she might pass out from anger.

The one with the ugliest expression was Meiniang, as if someone had smeared her face with excrement. Although she was not the one who made the stabbing remark, what if Song Ci turned her anger towards her?

”Madam Ji, you should really count yourself lucky that my granddaughter’s husband isn’t here. Otherwise, he might get so angry he’d want to draw his sword in the street. After all, losing a child is a pain one would rather bury deeply. Who wants it mentioned again and again?” Song Ci smiled slightly, ”You’re still young and have a long way to go. Take the Dowager’s advice and learn how to speak from those opera performers. After all, not everyone has a temper as good as mine. Someone with a fiery temper might just slap you, and how embarrassing would that be?”

Madam Ji’s face turned green.

Dowager: ”...”

For every sentence they said, she had ten retorts ready.

Song Ci then looked at Meiniang, smiling, ”Speaking of joyous occasions, actually, it’s Madam Ji who’s the happiest. I heard the Ji family young lady and Prince Min are deeply in love, and she’s set to become the Concubine Madam. By the way, which young lady is it? Could it be the one behind you?”

They were still at the entrance of the shop, with Meiniang and the maids by her side following Song Ci’s gaze.

Madam Ji proudly said, ”Indeed, it is my daughter.”

Ji Suhua slightly raised her chin, her face full of smugness.

Meiniang’s eyes flickered, and her eyebrows arched.

The Ji young lady’s brows had loosened, her figure alluring. Anyone with an understanding eye could tell at a glance that she was no longer an unblemished maiden.

Song Ci’s remark, even though it didn’t explicitly say the Ji young lady was no longer pure, pointed out the main figure. Anyone with eyes could see it, and to add more about being in love?

Ha, once she entered Prince Min Mansion, she might trigger jealousy from other women, stepping into a pitfall.

The Old Madam of the Song Family was a formidable one, avenging in the moment, yet that mother-daughter pair couldn’t even discern the traps in her words.
