Miss Zheng's words were arrogant and her attitude was arrogant, and she was determined to humiliate Linglong.

The maidservant of the East Palace who was following Linglong felt that it was too much, but Miss Zheng's words were true. This Miss Zheng will enter the East Palace as a concubine in the future, but Miss Shen's status is not correct, and I don't know what will happen in the future. , he is always favored at the moment, but in the end he still has no heirs and no status.

The maid wanted to protect Linglong, but she was worried that she would offend Miss Zheng by offending her, and that Miss Zheng would suffer a lot when she enters the East Palace in the future.

If Qiushui or Luoxia were there in the past, and they met others who spoke contemptuously, they would definitely not let Linglong be wronged.

But now Linglong has no trusted maid by her side, and the maid from the East Palace who follows her is not a loyal slave to her, so naturally she can't count on her.

Linglong raised her eyes and glanced at the maid next to her. The maid hurriedly lowered her head to avoid Linglong's sight.

Linglong's lips were slightly cold, and her eyes fell on Miss Zheng opposite.

"Miss Zheng, you are the lady of the Duke's Mansion, and I am the lady of the Ning'an Marquis Mansion. Although the Ning'an Marquis Mansion is not as high-ranking as your family, my father is also an official in the capital. I am not your slave, let alone the East Palace. Linglong really couldn’t understand what Miss Zheng said about the servitude of a slave and the inferiority of master and servant.” Linglong has always been a sharp-tongued person. In the past, she rarely argued with others because the Qiu Shui around her was more articulate than her, and she said everything for her. That’s all.

Miss Zheng opposite her heard Linglong's sharp-tongued rebuttal to her, and she became even more angry when she thought that a woman with no name and status in the East Palace dared to talk to her.

He cursed in his mouth: "You Ning'an Hou family are snobbish. Seeing your cousin lose power, you married a lowly concubine instead of your legitimate daughter. Now that your cousin has regained his throne, you are planning to marry your legitimate daughter." In the East Palace, two women work together with one husband. You are neither a wife nor a concubine in the East Palace, serving your cousin on the mat. What else is it but a bed-warmer and a maid? If you hadn't used charming tricks to seduce your cousin, your cousin would have killed you long ago. He was expelled from the East Palace."

This Miss Zheng's dirty words, such as "two women work together with one husband" and "a maid who warms the bed", are all stepping on Linglong's pain point.

Linglong's eyes were extremely cold, she clenched her palms tightly, and the smile on her lips became even colder. She looked at Miss Zheng and replied: "The two girls from Ning'an Houfu are both unmarried girls in the official documents. The girl is also a girl raised by a decent family. You should know how important a good reputation is to a woman. As for my stay in the East Palace, Miss Zheng can go and ask the cousin you mentioned. I am still In the East Palace, was it Qi Zhen who robbed the daughter of the people by force, or was it I, Shen Linglong, who used some insidious means against him?"

After saying these words, Miss Zheng's face turned red with anger, she raised her finger and pointed at Linglong and said: "You, you..."

This Miss Zheng looks young, probably around the time she has haircuts. Her arrogance is undisguised, and she is extremely arrogant.

Linglong didn't want to waste any more words with her, and was too distracted by the fuss to listen to the show. She pursed her lips and stood up from the wooden chair, walked around Miss Zheng and walked out.

The maid from the East Palace saw this and hurriedly followed him out.

Miss Zheng in the back saw Linglong walking away in such a arrogant manner, and became even more angry. She raised her eyebrows and wanted to fight Linglong.

The maid who was following her quickly stopped her.

"Girl, don't forget what my aunt said. It seems that Miss Shen is not someone to be bullied. If she really makes a fuss, it will not be conducive to your success in entering the East Palace. If His Highness is prejudiced against you again, it will be even worse than the gain."

The maid persuaded her again and again before stopping Miss Zheng.

This Miss Zheng's temperament is really arrogant and overbearing.

She is the only girl in the Duke's Palace in her life. Although she was born as a concubine, she is still very favored in the family. However, because she was born as a concubine and is quite a few years older than Qi Zhen, the Queen of the Duke's Palace Originally, they didn't think about cousins ​​getting closer to each other. Therefore, since she was a child, Miss Zheng was not brought up as a proper daughter-in-law of a high-ranking royal family, and was only raised by her biological mother and aunt.

That aunt had a shallow temperament, and the daughter she raised had exactly the same temperament as hers, with the added bonus of being a little too unreasonable and overbearing.

Although the old lady of the Duke's residence did not like her little granddaughter's temperament or her aunt's shallowness, she still loved her only little granddaughter and originally planned to choose a husband who was of low birth and easy to control.

However, Miss Zheng's biological mother only hoped that her daughter would marry into the East Palace and become a royal concubine in the future.

Therefore, as soon as the Queen's decree arrived, the only people the Duke's Mansion was happy to hear and see, besides Miss Zheng herself, were her biological mother, aunt, and the Third Master of the Duke's Mansion.

Needless to say, Miss Zheng and her aunt were overjoyed. The Third Master of the Duke's Palace knew in his heart that he had no hope of inheriting the title. He thought that his daughter could become a royal concubine. If she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince one day, she promised You can also get another knighthood.

After Linglong stepped out of the theater, the vendor at the pastry stall opposite saw her and shouted: "Girl, do you want to buy pastries? These pastries are extremely delicious."

Hearing this, Linglong looked up and saw that the vendor looked like an old woman, so she walked over and arrived in front of the pastry shop.

"Girl, do you want some pastries? What flavor do you like?" the vendor asked upon seeing this.

Linglong pointed her finger casually and said, "That's it, please wrap it up."

The vendor looked at what Linglong was pointing at and hurriedly wrapped it up.

At this time, the maid chased him out.

Seeing Linglong in front of the stall, she actually said: "Girl, why don't I send this snack to Miss Zheng? You will have to get along with Miss Zheng from now on. If you offend too much, it may not be good for you."

Linglong glanced sideways at the maid who had followed him, pursed her lips and said nothing.

When the old woman saw the maid approaching, she realized that she was someone from Linglong's side, so she handed over the wrapped cake.

The maid took the pastry and said to Linglong: "Send it to Miss Zheng." Then she walked up to the theater.

Linglong watched the maid running towards the theater, her expression unchanged, but she tilted her head and said to the old woman: "Can you please make another one?"

Seeing this, the old woman wrapped another portion for Linglong and handed it to Linglong.

Linglong came back to her senses, took it with a smile, then took the ingot of silver from her sleeve and placed it on the table with pastries.

Then he said: "I don't have any loose money with me, so you don't have to look for it."

After saying that, he took the snacks and walked to the other end of the street.

The old woman behind saw the ingot of silver and thanked her repeatedly.

Linglong walked straight along the street outside the theater, and arrived at a three-way intersection only ten meters away.

Linglong had been to this theater before. She recognized this fork in the road and knew which road led to the East Palace and which road led to Ning'an Hou Mansion.

Only I don't know where the other branch of the road leads.

Linglong stood looking at the fork in the road and stopped for a moment.
