Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Spilling Tea on a Shrew_1
“Miss, the Loyal and Righteous Duke has sent an invitation card. Your mother and two aunts intend to visit you tomorrow.”
A servant in the residence handed the invitation card to Wei Ruo.
Since Wei Ruo didn’t like to be called queen, in the backcourt of Wang Residence, the servants always call her “Miss” when there is no outsider around.
Wei Ruo took the invitation card, glanced at it twice, snorted with laughter, and threw it away.
“Miss, why are they coming to see you at this time?” Xiumei asked.
” They are not coming to see me, they would not visit the palace without a reason.” Wei Ruo replied.
Although the invitation card was filled with a mother’s love for her daughter and her family’s concern for her as a married woman, Wei Ruo was not moved at all.
“Then miss, let’s not see them!” Xiumei suggested.
“I actually want to see them. They are coming to see me at this time and three of them are coming together, they must have something in mind. I want to see what they are up to, knowing the enemy and knowing myself, I’ll deal with it,” Wei Ruo said.
Wei Ruo gave the invitation card to the servant who had delivered the message and asked her to reply to the Wei family who had sent the card.
The next day, Mrs. Mo, Mrs. Bai, and Mrs. Yun, dressed in luxurious clothes, all arrived at the King Rui Residence together in a carriage.
They were led to the garden in the backcourt of Wang Residence by the servants.
In the pavilion beside the waterside pavilion, Wei Ruo was sitting elegantly at the table.
Noble golden embroidered dress, her hair half-tied and half-loose, looking a bit delicate, a bit lazy.
The table was set with teaware, and the white steam was lingering above the stove beside it.
Mrs. Mo, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Yun were brought into the pavilion.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
The three women stood in front of the table. Wei Ruo didn’t even lift her head, and only replied to them, “Sit.”
There were three chairs opposite of Wei Ruo.
Mrs. Mo seemed a bit uncomfortable and found a seat to sit down.
Without sitting down immediately, Mrs. Bai turned to Wei Ruo with a smile and said, “Your Highness, you shine even brighter every time I see you!”
Wei Ruo chuckled, placed the purple clay pot she had just brewed tea in, aside.
Raising her head, she smiled inscrutably and said, “Aunt number two, there’s no need for insincere flattery. Speak frankly if you have any purpose in visiting me today!”
Mrs. Bai immediately replied, “Your Highness, you misunderstood. As your relatives, it’s our duty to visit and care for you since you married into Wang Residence.”
Wei Ruo kept smiling, “Really? So today, Aunt number two better not ask me for anything, or I’ll think you were lying to me just now.”
The smile on Mrs. Bai’s face became stiff immediately.
“This…great niece…”
“Respect must be kept, Aunt number two should still address me as ‘Your Highness’.”
Wei Ruo interrupted Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai’s expression worsened. Within just a few minutes of their arrival, her face had changed from a blooming smile to a frown.
Despite this, Wei Ruo still maintained her calm and indifferent demeanor.
“Sit down,” Wei Ruo said to Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Yun again.
