"Ahem~"
"Pfft~"
All sorts of odd sounds spontaneously erupted throughout the room.
Daohua briefly glanced around and noticed many Madams had turned red in the face, and some were still trembling in the shoulders.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Princess Consort Ma felt she couldn’t save face and didn’t know how to respond to this situation. She was so angry she couldn’t speak and could only glare fiercely at Daohua.
Luo Qiong was silent for a moment, then spoke up, "Younger sister-in-law, the Princess Consort is our elder. Even if you’re dissatisfied with her in your heart, you shouldn’t be so disrespectful."
Daohua looked at Luo Qiong in surprise. In the past, when they had conflicts with the Ma family, she had never intervened and was almost always passively standing by, like a wooden figure.
"How filial my older sister is. Why not take in this young lady and fulfill your filial duty towards the Princess Consort?"
Luo Qiong laughed, "This was given to you by the Princess Consort. How could I so covetously take what is beloved by another?"
Daohua’s smile was even more radiant than hers, "I don’t love it at all. Please, Older Sister, take it." Without waiting for Luo Qiong to speak, she continued, "Older Sister, it’s not enough to just talk sweetly; you should also show it through your actions. I’m sure you’re not someone who only talks the talk but can’t walk the walk, right?"
Luo Qiong fell silent, pondering how she should respond.
Daohua didn’t wait for her and, smiling, looked toward the women in the room, "On the second day of my marriage into the Prince Residence, while I was offering tea to my father, he expressly stated that all affairs, big and small, of Pingxi Hall were to be under my control, and the Princess Consort was not to interfere."
"I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the Princess Consort; I’m just acting on father’s instructions. I hope all the Madams here won’t misunderstand me, oh!"
Princess Huijia turned her head towards Kang Naixin sitting next to her, "If in the future you could be like Yiyi, then I wouldn’t have to worry about you being bullied by your husband’s family."
Kang Naixin smiled, "With my mother supporting me, naturally, I am not afraid of my husband’s family."
Princess Huijia glanced at Daohua, who continued to smile, and whispered, "Having your natal family’s support is certainly good, but you also need competence of your own. Whether a man keeps concubines or servants depends not on the woman, but on whether the man wants them or not."
Kang Naixin’s head drooped, "Then this matter becomes difficult; it’s out of my control."
Princess Huijia tapped Kang Naixin’s head, "In the future, spend more time with Yiyi. At first, I also thought that Yechen was enamored by Yiyi’s beauty, but after getting to know her better, I’ve realized that’s not entirely the case."
Naturally, Daohua didn’t bring that Miss Ma back to Pingxi Hall.
After having lunch, Daohua excused herself by saying she had other matters to attend to and left Pingxi Hall.
On her way back, as Daohua reflected on Luo Qiong she had seen today, a puzzled expression appeared on her face, "Have any of you noticed? Older Sister-in-law seems to have been in a much better state recently than she was over the New Year?"
