Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Unworthy of the Princess Consort’s Name

"It seems that the leading dancing girl knows more than my sister," Lin Fuying said, eyes sparkling as she looked at Yuan Qiu.

At first listen, there’s nothing unusual about this statement; one might think that Lin Fuying is simply innocent and generous, not minding that Ye Yunting is paying attention to a dancing girl, and even genuinely appreciating the dancing girl’s talent.

However, those present couldn’t help but subconsciously compare Chu Nanli to a dancing girl, thinking even she was inferior to a dancing girl.

From her high position, Princess Consort Yang Shu felt utterly humiliated and her gaze towards Chu Nanli was filled with intense displeasure.

An inept woman unfit for public display, uneducated and ignorant, unable to even keep her man in line, and causing Yunting to lose face at the court banquet!

"As a Princess Consort, one should cultivate oneself. Those who are ignorant can only be called foolish women, not fit for the title of Princess Consort."

Princess Consort Yang Shu spoke indifferently, glancing at Chu Nanli before shifting her gaze away.

The statement was just short of calling out Chu Nanli by name for a reprimand.

Some felt sympathy for Chu Nanli, while others reveled in her embarrassment.

In the past, the War God marrying a woman with neither power nor status had spoiled many noble families’ plans and broken many young noble women’s hearts.

Now, seeing Princess Consort Yang Shu openly disliking her daughter-in-law Chu Nanli, they naturally felt delighted and hoped that Chu Nanli would soon be expelled from the War God Residence.

Lin Fuying was also very pleased, her goal being to let everyone see today that Chu Nanli was unfit to be the War God Prince Consort and to make the Prince see that Chu Nanli’s presence was nothing but a disgrace to him!

"My sister is very smart, just never had the chance or the place to learn. Yingying was by my sister’s side in the residence and neglected to teach her what I know. It is my mistake," Lin Fuying spoke out ’in support’ of Chu Nanli.

Her demeanor was humble and even seemed, to many, to be sincerely defending Chu Nanli against Princess Consort Yang Shu, appearing nobler by comparison with the silent Chu Nanli at her side.

At that moment, Chu Nanli simply nodded.

"Right."

The crowd was stunned.

Lin Fuying’s brows furrowed slightly, a bad premonition brewing.

Chu Nanli looked at her and said lightly, "After you came to the residence, I noticed you were frail and took care of you meticulously, rarely getting a good night’s sleep, indeed having no time to learn anything else."

Lin Fuying’s expression stiffened.

The gaze of those present shifted towards her, now filled with contemplation.

Rumors had swirled that Chu Nanli made life difficult for Lin Fuying everywhere, could it be that wasn’t the truth?

Princess Consort Yang Shu coolly spoke up, "As Yunting’s chief consort, you should indeed manage the inner court well and care for the unwell Yingying. Sharing Yunting’s concerns is indeed a part of your duties."

Upon hearing this, the Empress glanced at Princess Consort Yang Shu, a chill flashing through her eyes.

Chu Nanli, however, laughed, "Indeed a duty within my role."

"Yingying truly appreciates you, Sister, and thanks Your Highness for your compassion towards me," Lin Fuying breathed a sigh of relief, accepting Princess Consort Yang Shu’s favor, yet her irritation increased over Chu Nanli’s earlier exposure of her shortcomings.

Then, changing the topic, she said, "The girls from Bright Moon Building are still here, let’s return to them. It’s a pity for the leading dancing girl to stay in a Brothel. Sister, I know you are kind-hearted, and since they are so talented, why not visit Bright Moon Building from time to time to learn something? It will enrich yourself and, with your status as Prince Consort of the War God, you can help them gain more respect in the Capital City, preventing others from looking down on them."

Upon these words, Chu Nanli placed her cup heavily on the table.

A loud "clang" sounded.
