Chapter 232 Confrontation
Gu Baozhu got angry when she heard this, "Gu Jin, how dare you curse my Yiyi!"
"What are you talking about, aunt? I never mentioned Concubine Bai in one word." Gu Jin brushed the flower branches, withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that this flower banquet was organized by aunt, so you should go and entertain those ladies quickly, and don't neglect the guests."
Gu Baozhu snorted coldly, "I won't bother with you today since there are so many people here. You'd better be more respectful to me and Yiyi when you see us in the future, otherwise you will suffer the consequences!"
Gu Baozhu turned away and went to entertain the officials and their wives, acting like a complete host.
"This Madam Bai is so arrogant! Our young mistress is a first-rank lady, how can a concubine compare to her!" Ruyi rolled her eyes at Gu Baozhu's back and said indignantly.
Gu Jinmo smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's true that being a concubine is nothing, but if one day she becomes the imperial concubine, then she will really be the master."
This is also the reason why Gu Baozhu is so arrogant and domineering.
But she might not underestimate the man in this mansion.
How could such a person, who was able to carve out a niche for himself under the watchful eyes of the Jiang family's cunning men, be willing to be trampled underfoot?
"It looks like today's flower banquet is going to be quite lively!"
Since Prince Yu just got married this year, this was also the first time that Prince Yu's Mansion hosted a banquet for the female relatives in the capital.
Bai Yiyi put a lot of effort into renovating the garden to make it luxurious and unique.
Seeing that the one in charge today was actually the concubine Bai Yiyi, everyone looked around and had some ideas in their minds.
Madam Jiang couldn't help but feel a little gloating. Even though Jiang Wanyue had snatched Feng Qi's marriage, she didn't have the ability to keep it and was actually controlled by a concubine. If it weren't for Feng Qi, this would never have happened.
Thinking of Jiang Fengqi, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but feel angry.
She gives up her good job as Princess Yu and insists on hanging out with Gu Jin. What good results can there be in the future?
"This is the first time I see a concubine entertaining distinguished guests. Why isn't the princess here?" Although Mrs. Jiang didn't want to see Jiang Fengqi living a good life, she couldn't let the Jiang family's reputation be damaged like this.
Bai Yiyi smiled softly and explained, "The princess caught a cold and is now recuperating in the courtyard, so she entrusted the preparation of the flower banquet to me..."
"The princess was always in good health before she entered the palace. How come she suddenly became ill? Is there some hidden story here?"
Seeing Madam Jiang embarrass Bai Yiyi, Gu Baozhu immediately stepped forward and said, "There are imperial doctors looking after her in the palace, how can she be wrong?
Mrs. Jiang is not a female doctor who doesn't know medicine, so don't worry about it."
Madam Jiang glanced at Gu Baozhu with disdain and said, "I was talking to Concubine Bai, why did you come out and butt in?
After all, you come from a noble family, how come you don't have any rules at all!"
If it were in the past, Gu Baozhu would not have dared to confront the Jiang family, but now she is in high spirits, so how could she be humiliated by Mrs. Jiang in public?
"I am indeed an outsider and shouldn't interrupt at the palace banquet. But Concubine Bai is my daughter, and as a mother, how can I not help her when I see her being embarrassed?
Mrs. Jiang looked like she was going to accuse someone of something. I almost thought Princess Yu was still Miss Jiang!"
Gu Baozhu undoubtedly stepped hard on Mrs. Jiang's wound. She had been glorious for half her life, and this was her only failure.
Mrs. Jiang was so angry that her body was shaking, and suddenly she heard someone in the crowd say "Huh!"
"Why does this peony look so strange..."
