Chapter 88: Face Slap

Start from the beginning
                                    

The ladies looked at each other. They half kneeled with a dry smile, and begged for mercy: "Wangfei is forgiving, and these slaves know their mistakes."

Tang Shishi closed her eyes, and said lightly: "Okay, get up. If you have nothing else to say, you may leave."

"These old slaves obey Wangfei's orders."

The women retired one after another, and Tongxiu stopped at the door, and waited for everyone to go out before entering the pavilion to give Tang Shishi letters: "Greetings to Wangfei. Wangfei has recieved letters, please take a look."

It was letters from outside, and Tang Shishi looked at it with interest and said, "Okay."

Tongxiu handed over the letters. Tang Shishi opened the first one and saw the characters Mrs. Zheng written on it. Tang Shishi thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that Mrs. Zheng was an old lady. When Zhao Chengjun chose the Shizi Consort, he asked Mrs. Zheng to be the matchmaker.

Mrs. Zheng had a relationship with Lu Yufei, and seemed to have a good relationship with Madame Xi. Tang Shishi sneered and threw the letter away.

Lu Yufei and Tongxiu were surprised when they saw what Tang Shishi did. Tongxiu reminded: "Wangfei, this is Mrs. Zheng, who has always been respected by the prince. When Shizi married Shizi Consort, she was the matchmaker.

"I know." Tang Shishi looked at Tong Xiu calmly, "What does this have to do with me not wanting to read the letter?"

Tongxiu was stunned, unable to speak for a while. Tang Shishi was not a bride who had just entered the door and dared not offend anyone, nor was she a humble person who was in desperate need of a firm footing. She had the Empress Dowager behind her back and a child in her belly, so she didn't really need anyone to rely unto.

What about Mrs. Zheng's high morals? No matter how high her reputation is, can she be higher than the Empress Dowager?

Tang Shishi looked back at the other letters, the Lu family's letters, throw them away; the Li family's, the road is too far, throw them away; the Xi family's, don't even think about it, throw it away.

Tang Shishi's letters were thrown one by one. There was still a pile inside the box. Tang Shishi didn't bother to read them, so she closed the lid and pushed it to Tongxiu and said, "I don't want to read it. Throw it away."

Tongxiu looked at Tang Shishi, before finally choosing to be silent, and quietly took the box. Tong Xiu crouched to pick up the scattered letters, one of them fell at Lu Yufei's feet. When Tong Xiu was about to take it, Lu Yufei picked up the letter one step in advance and handed it to Tong Xiu.

Tongxiu raised her eyes to look at Lu Yufei, nodded and left. Afterwards, the lady in charge sent Tang Shishi the ledger, and the maids were so afraid that Tang Shishi would be angry from looking at the account book.

Amidst the chaos, Tang Shishi sat in the center of the crowd, looking down at the ledger calmly, without any discomfort on her face.

Lu Yufei lowered her eyes and sighed again in her heart. Lu Yufei has sighed in the past months more than the year before since Tang Shishi was appointed as Wangfei. Lu Yufei had never cared about it before, and it was only after the comparison of Tang Shishi and herself that Lu Yufei realized how humble her situation was and how helpless she actually was.

A woman's life will be reflected on her face. When Tang Shishi first came to Jing Mansion, although she was already squeamish, she did not have such a brazen temper. She would also flatter other people in order to win their favor. One year later, the once cautious Tang Shishi disappeared. Now she dared to throw away Mrs. Zheng's invitation, dared to openly scold the Tongxiu who has been in the masnion for years, and told off the ladies who have been managing the mansion for her.
