Chapter 991 - She Will be Sihan’s Consort (1/2)
The woman who came in in high heels was middle-aged, well dressed and charming. She wore a turquoise suit and a hat of the same color, looking graceful and n.o.ble.
Nan Zhi paused slightly in her action of going upstairs.
“Auntie?”
“Please call me Madam Ye.”
Nan Zhi pursed her lips and said, “Madam Ye.”
Madam Ye walked to the sofa with great vigor and looked around her surroundings before sitting down. From beginning to end, she had not even glanced at Nan Zhi once.
The maid saw Madam Ye and brought tea over respectfully.
“Miss Nan, you haven’t married into the Royal family, so why are you already living in the Crown Palace?” Madam Ye leaned against the sofa with a mocking smile on her lips.
Nan Zhi sat opposite of Madam Ye and said in a manner worthy of the lady of the house, calm and unmoved, “I listened to Sihan.”
Madam Ye glanced indolently at Nan Zhi. Seeing that she was all smiles and did not look at all awkward or uncomfortable, Madam Ye felt a little angry.
She was not even married to him yet and was already regarding herself as a Princess Consort?
“Miss Nan, you’re sticking by his side just because you gave birth to three children for him, right?” Madam Ye looked at Nan Zhi, her eyes filled with disdain and judgement. “Giving birth to children with a man before getting married. Didn’t your mother teach you? A woman without the basic sense of shame and self-respect will not be respected, even if she were to marry into the Royal family.”
Nan Zhi knew that Madam Ye did not like her. No, not only did she dislike her, she disliked Mu Sihan too. If it was a normal family, being humiliated by her future mother-in-law, Nan Zhi would definitely be angry.
But Madam Ye was indifferent to her son and treated him like a stranger, why should Nan Zhi be angry because of her?
Nan Zhi’s smile deepened, a faint trace of mockery in her eyes. “My mom taught me very well. Unlike some mothers, giving the t.i.tle of a jinx to her son after he was born and disliking him from when he was young for no apparent reason. Now, seeing that he has become the King, she comes back and acts like a tyrant.”
Madam Ye did not expect Nan Zhi to be so sharp-tongued. Even if she disliked Mu Sihan and did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with him, she was still his biological mother.
n.o.body dared to speak to her in this tone!
“Miss Nan, you haven’t even married into the Royal family yet, what right do you have to speak to me in this tone? You’re being disrespectful to your elder! I can throw you into jail at anytime!”
Nan Zhi looked at Madam Ye. “Madam Ye, why don’t you get to the purpose of your visit today?”
“Leave Ye Sihan. As long as I’m his mother, I will never agree for a woman with no status and upbringing like you to marry into the Royal family!”
Nan Zhi narrowed her eyes. “Oh? Do you think Sihan will listen to you, just because you disagree?”
Her sharp words made Madam Ye speechless.
Yes, now that Mu Sihan had become so capable, he might not listen even to the Queen’s orders, let alone her, a mother with only blood ties and no kins.h.i.+p at all!
Madam Ye closed her eyes and then opened them again, her eyes cold. “Miss Nan, I heard that not only did you move into Crown Palace, you also brought your mother along. I heard about those who brought along children but never have I heard of those who brought along their mothers. Do you know what the people in the Royal family said about you and your mother? You will only affect the authority the King has in the Royal family and among the people!”
Nan Zhi was about to say something when she saw a figure walking over from the corner of her eye.
She raised her eyebrows slightly. She could ignore whatever Madam Ye said about her, but she could not stand aside while someone talked trash about her mother!
Nan Zhi stood up and walked quickly to An Feng. “Mom, go upstairs first. I can handle this myself.” She was worried that Madam Ye would say harsh words later and stimulate her mother’s mental condition.
