Chapter 414: Chapter 416: Huimin Takes Action to Teach a Lesson

"Doctor Shao is truly fortunate, Chu Yu is now serving a sentence in a desolate place, and yet you have become the Fifth Prince’s Consort, fate really plays with people."

After saying this, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise and pretended to apologize, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up your past, it’s just that it’s been a long time and it slipped out unwittingly. You won’t hold it against me, right?"

Seeing her self-directed performance, Shao He originally did not want to bother, but Liang Weishuang obstinately blocked her way and said, "I know Doctor Shao definitely doesn’t want to recall the past, but it’s an indelible fact."

Seeing the person blocking her path, Shao He suddenly remembered what Pei Huaian had said in the carriage about backing her up, and she wondered if hitting Liang Weishuang would have any repercussions.

"Snap!" The crisp sound of a slap echoed in everyone’s ears, leaving everyone stunned in place.

Even Shao He was slightly taken aback, staring dazedly at the figure in front of her.

Unexpectedly, Eldest Princess Huimin had run over to slap Liang Weishuang and loudly berated her, "How dare you, who gave you the audacity to speak recklessly and fabricate stories about the future Prince’s Consort!"

Liang Weishuang covered her slapped cheek, feeling extremely aggrieved, her hand by her side slowly clenched into a fist.

"Your Highness Eldest Princess, I wasn’t talking nonsense, nor was I fabricating anything, this is simply the truth."

Everyone was shocked by her boldness to openly contradict the Eldest Princess.

Huimin gave a cold smile and commanded, "Someone, expel this woman from the palace and forbid her from attending any palace banquets ever again!"

Hearing this, Liang Weishuang’s legs gave out, and she immediately knelt down to apologize and beg for mercy.

"I’m sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have spoken recklessly, I shouldn’t have overstepped, please, Eldest Princess, show mercy and spare me this time!"

"I really realize my mistake, I should not have been loose-lipped. I should not have!" Liang Weishuang bit her lip and harshly slapped her own face.

Hoping this would make the Eldest Princess spare her, but Huimin coldly said, "What are you standing around for? Didn’t you hear what I said!"

Several guards immediately came over, and Liang Weishuang was lifted by them. She did not expect the Eldest Princess to be so ruthless, and she immediately looked at Shao He with a pleading gaze.

"Doctor Shao, save me, I really didn’t mean it, please forgive me, I truly know I was wrong!"

As Liang Weishuang’s voice grew fainter, Shao He could already imagine her future plight, but she was even more astonished that the Eldest Princess would help her.

"Really useless, after all, you are a Prince’s Consort, in the face of such people you should demonstrate the dignity of a Prince’s Consort, not just endure blindly." Huimin arrogantly chided Shao He with feigned indignation.

In fact, she was covertly warning everyone present, affirming the legitimate identity of the Fifth Prince’s Consort.

"Yes," Shao He bowed respectfully, signaling her understanding.

She was no fool; she clearly perceived that the Eldest Princess was using the situation to send a warning, telling everyone that she was now genuinely the Fifth Prince’s Consort, and anyone who annoyed her was going against the Fifth Prince.

"Hmph! This matter shall be considered settled."

Huimin left arrogantly, but Shao He still stood in her place, her brows deeply furrowed.

Xu Han approached with a smile and initiated a friendly gesture toward Shao He, "My mother has always been harsh with her words but soft in her heart. She cares a lot about Brother An, but perhaps her methods are somewhat incorrect."

"Understood,"

Xu Han continued, "Although my mother used to target you, it was because Brother An suffered a lot for your sake, and she felt sorry for him."

"Recently, she has realized that Brother An won’t marry anyone but you, and just the other day, she punished a maid who gossiped about you."

Knowing that Xu Han was deliberately telling this to her, Shao He took the hint and accepted her friendly approach.

"I understand, as an elder, the Eldest Princess has her reasons for whatever she does. It’s an honor for the Fifth Prince to have such an aunt, and it is my privilege as well."

Content with the response, Xu Han nodded in satisfaction and took her hand, leading her forward.

The banquet was about to begin, and en route, they encountered members of the Shao Family.

Seeing the radiant woman, Shao Zhengru’s eyes flashed with envy, and Mei Ying by his side was even grinding her teeth in anger.

"Master, should we go over and say hello?" Mei Ying asked, noticing his expression.

Shao Zhengru had been having a hard time recently, being targeted by the Fifth Prince, and he knew that Shao He would not dare to make a scene in the current situation.

Thinking of this, he revealed a devious smile and pulled Mei Ying along to approach.

"Ah He, how have you been?" Shao Zhengru came over and feigned concern.

He did this not just to ingratiate himself with Shao He but also to let everyone know of his relationship with her.

Shao He slightly lowered her gaze and said, "Lord Shao, are we that familiar?"

This one sentence directly clarified the nature of their relationship.

Shao He obviously knew his scheme, as he tried to exploit her identity as the future Prince’s Consort, but how could he possibly let Shao Zhengru succeed.

"You... how can you speak like that, child."

"I wonder how else you expect me to speak, Lord Shao?" Shao He looked at him, her gaze carrying a warning.
