"Thanks to Concubine Wen's good character, considering that Hu Hongzhi is a member of the Hu family, she is willing to leave it to Concubine Shu. If we don't give Concubine Wen a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid this matter will never end."
"Humph, it's not over yet? If someone dares to slander my daughter like this, I will have to ruin his reputation!"
Madams, you say something, and I say something, and the opinions are as clear as a retreat.
Everyone felt that Hu Hongzhi was fabricating the slander. Without evidence, no one believed him.
The Thirteenth Princess was completely dumbfounded: "..."
She never expected that things would turn out like this.
I originally thought that if Hu Hongzhi said this, everyone would despise the Eighth Princess, thinking that she was reckless and did not know how to behave, which ruined the Eighth Princess's reputation.
But the result... was exactly the opposite.
No one believed what Hu Hongzhi said. Instead, they felt that the Eighth Princess was the victim, and they all expressed sympathy.
Why?
what is this?!
The thirteenth princess was so angry that her heart, liver, intestines and lungs ached, and she couldn't figure anything out.
This is the importance of a good reputation.
The Eighth Princess has always had a good reputation both inside and outside the palace. She was well-educated by Concubine Wen, and never made grudges easily. Instead, she was always kind to others. Except for the Thirteenth Princess, who unilaterally hated her, almost no one in the palace disliked her.
like her.
As time went by, many ladies in the capital also had a favorable impression of her. In addition, the marriage between the eighth princess and Wen Shaoqing was one of the rare perfections in the capital, and she was envied by countless female relatives.
Just imagine.
Who would like someone like Hu Hongzhi if he had such a good marriage?
Family background, talents, appearance, temperament, conduct...
Pick one at random, is he any better than the Eighth Princess's real fiancé?
Nothing!
Then, why did the eighth princess have a private meeting with him?
Do you think you want him to be ugly, weak and incompetent, or worthless?
Isn't this a joke!
No fool can do such a thing, let alone a royal princess. No matter how condescending she is, she will never fall into the mud.
"You... you..."
The Thirteenth Princess was furious and unable to refute.
Because even she knew that if she had a fiancé like Wen Shaoqing, she would not be able to like Hu Hongzhi.
This is too far off, it is simply the difference between the moon and mud!
When the Thirteenth Princess thought of this, her face turned red with frustration, and she felt a breath of depression stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down, and she was extremely irritable.
Seeing her ugly face, several ladies comforted her: "Princess Thirteen, we know you have good intentions. Hu Hongzhi is your cousin after all. It's normal for you to believe his words."
"Princess, you are too kind-hearted! What Hu Hongzhi said is full of loopholes, and he looks guilty. Don't be deceived by him!"
"Only a fool would believe his words!"
Thirteenth Princess: "..."
At this moment, she thought in anger that it was all Hu Hongzhi's fault!
As long as he strives for excellence and can find an advantage in him, these women will not be so sure that the Eighth Princess looks down on him. Instead, they will think that he is a slander.
But the Thirteenth Princess apparently forgot that if Hu Hongzhi was not so worthless, she would not have chosen him to plot against the Eighth Princess.
In the end, stealing the chicken failed and lost the rice.
