Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 126

After the Jing Prince returned to the western pavilion, he and Xiao Hua didn't show it on their faces but they were amused at each other in their hearts.

One thought how the reports of someone trying to barge in must have reached his ears, and wondered how his highness would react. He would definitely investigate the reason behind it, and what sort of stunned expression would he have once he found out his lord uncle's family was stumbling around trying to pair him up with his cousin? When the Jing Prince gets stunned, his expression becomes vacant and Xiao Hua couldn't hold back her smile at the thought.

The other was thinking whether she thought this prince would have a headache about this situation. Thinking of the actions of that group of people, the Jing Prince indeed had a headache, but also couldn't help but smile. Then he thought of his reply to them and wondered what kind of reaction she would have.....

The Li family didn't know they had become a source of amusement. The Li family was also having a headache.

This was because after Li Hong Chang's complaint, the Jing Prince soon sent over his response. He said the western pavilion's Madam Hua's personality had always been this way, and begs aunt to do her best to put up with it.

Wow! This really was a little demoness, to be able to get this antisocial nephew (cousin) to become so protective!

This was a major opponent!

Seeing their daughter (sister) with her eyes red and swollen, the Li family grew worried.

***

The next day after the Jing Prince left, the information was reported back.

The information regarding what happened over at lord uncle's place as well as the Jing Prince's response.

Xiao Hua first frowned, and then didn't know whether she should be angry or delighted.

It was a few simple words, but why did it sound like she was helplessly spoiled?

What does he mean by "Madam Hua's personality had always been this way", making her sound like she was unreasonable. The following words "begs aunt to do her best to put up with it" gave a sense of helplessness. His meaning was that, ai, this little madam has been spoiled by this prince. Aunt, you should just put up with it, this prince is already helpless....

Xiao Hua cursed darkly in her heart, but had Ding Xiang reward Xiao Xia Zi with some coins for his information.

The Li family was at an impasse. The Jing Consort had already made things clear and pushed the responsibility away by saying the western pavilion's Madam Hua was the favored one and the consort couldn't make the decision for his highness. But how were they supposed to get this ill-tempered and arrogant person to agree on sharing his highness's favor? She didn't even give lord uncle's family any face. This was impossible!

Furthermore, all other tricks the Li family could think of, such as chance encounters, intentional obstruction, or coincidentally tripping and falling into her cousin, his highness's embrace all weren't workable. First of all they didn't know the Jing Prince's schedule, and second of all, they didn't have the opportunity to have their daughter (sister) fall over in front of his highness.

The only possible method seemed to be seeking the Jing Prince out for an honest discussion, but that favored concubine would definitely make a fuss and not let them in.

But how would they know without trying?

The Li family discussed and had Li Hong Chang go seek out his cousin for a discussion. Li Hong Chang had tried pushing the responsibility onto his father. Li Xue Bing stroked his beard and said angrily, "Your father is the trump card here, got it?"
