Chapter 412: Chapter 414: Two People Gossiping
Jhiang Yijia continued, "I’ve heard that over the past few days, Old Madam Chu and Liang Weishuang have been making clothes, wanting to attend the Mid-Autumn Banquet in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Shao He’s brows furrowed. She thought of her own attendance at the event, inevitably running into them, and curiously asked, "The Princely Heir has not yet inherited his title, can they attend as well?"
Jhiang Yijia shook his head and said, "Of course not, but Liang Weishuang will probably ask her maternal family to take her there; moreover, she has been quite troublesome recently, always wanting to seek a divorce."
"I’m afraid Old Madam Chu won’t let her go so easily," Shao He said with a cold snort.
Jhiang Yijia nodded in agreement, "That is certain, Old Madam Chu wouldn’t let go unless she receives enough benefits."
"I had advised her more than once originally, but unfortunately, those blinded by love, knowing there’s an abyss ahead, still insist on jumping. Now suffering in that abyss, they wish to escape from there."
Shao He hadn’t forgotten that when Liang Weishuang first married Chu Yu, she had staunchly claimed that love conquers all. Now, in such a short time, she had started seeking a divorce, which was indeed a swift slap in the face.
"Such people deserve it; she often returns to her parental home causing trouble, even citing you as an example, saying that you remarried and could still become a Prince’s Principal Wife. And she remains a virgin, yet Father Liang furiously scolded her for being inferior to you in every aspect before driving her out of the house."
Jhiang Yijia thought it was laughable, and couldn’t understand how she dared compare herself to Doctor Shao, which was simply humiliating herself.
Upon hearing this, Shao He just smiled knowingly, her gaze landing on the person walking towards them, hinting at Jhiang Yijia with her eyes.
Unfortunately, the person who was speaking so animatedly didn’t notice the glance she cast.
"Talking so happily?"
A crisp voice rang out, and the person in Jhiang Yijia’s arms immediately struggled to run towards the person behind.
Fang Jue took his daughter, kissed her on the face, then turned to look at Jhiang Yijia, "How many times have I told you, do not be too presumptuous in front of Doctor Shao."
After all, Shao He was now the Imperially appointed Fifth Princess Consort, her status and position much higher than theirs, which naturally required some decorum in speech.
They could no longer speak without restraint as before.
Jhiang Yijia pouted, "We are friends, and among friends, there’s no need for such restraint, we laugh out loud when happy, and cry together when not."
"You..." Fang Jue said helplessly as he shook his head.
Shao He, standing on the side, agreed, "Miss Liang and I share no differences in status when together, Young Master Fang, do not overthink it."
"Thank you, Doctor Shao, for your indulgence," Fang Jue responded respectfully.
"It’s getting late, take the child and head back," Shao He urged.
"Alright, I’ll come visit you another day," Jhiang Yijia said as she stood up, smiling and waving at her, following Fang Jue as they both walked out.
The family of three got on the carriage, with Fang Jue gently soothing his babbling daughter.
Jhiang Yijia pouted, "What brought you here all of a sudden?"
"Now that Doctor Shao’s status is different than before, you must be more mindful of your words and actions, avoid senseless chatter," Fang Jue did this for Jhiang Yijia’s own good, fearing someday she might say something inappropriate.
"Even if Shao He becomes the Fifth Prince’s Consort, we are still friends," Jhiang Yijia argued stubbornly.
Fang Jue looked at her for a long while and sighed, "What if she becomes not just a prince’s consort?"
"Aside from the Fifth Prince’s Consort, what other status could she have?"
After Jhiang Yijia had finished speaking, she suddenly reacted, grabbing Fang Jue’s arm and asked, "Has something major happened in the court?"
Fang Jue pressed his lips together, "The Empress has been deposed, and Consort Ming has been promoted to Empress."
"What!" Jhiang Yijia exclaimed, astonished by such a significant change.
In that case, the Fifth Prince’s status might rise accordingly, and with his recent military achievements, the position of the Crown Prince...
"Now you see why I tell you not to be too presumptuous in front of Doctor Shao?" Fang Jue feared her getting used to this habit, which would be hard to change later.
Jhiang Yijia numbly nodded her head; she was glad for Shao He that her sufferings had borne sweet results, but for some reason, she felt a vague sense of loss.
Shao He finished her clinic duties at Anji Hall and went home. She found Pei Huaian standing outside, with a splendid robe laid out on the table.
Pei Huaian stood up and approached her, grabbing her hand and walking to the table, pointing at the robe, "This is for the palace banquet, try it on to see if it fits; if not, we can still have it altered."
Seeing the pink robe, Shao He couldn’t help but recall the couple outfit from last time and asked, "This isn’t going to be like last time, where we’ll both wear the same style, is it?"
Unlike last time, Pei Huaian openly admitted, "Yes, our fabric and style are the same, even the accessories are a matching set."
Shao He raised her hand to her forehead, finding it exactly as she had guessed.
Seeing her like this, the smile on Pei Huaian’s lips slowly fell, and he carefully asked, "Is that not okay? Or do you not like it? If you don’t like it, then..."
"It’s fine, I didn’t say I disliked it,"
Shao He interrupted him, accepting the offer, before teasing, "I fear the reputation of being a femme fatale will spread far and wide."
Pei Huaian’s smile slowly grew wider, "But I just love you being such a femme fatale."
