The Princess of Northern Land
Chapter 511: Really Ruthless(4)_1

When the other ladies heard, they all felt as if she was intentionally challenging them. They looked at Lin Ziyin with even more hostility.

"Ming Consort, Liu Consort, and Lin Consort request an audience." Suddenly, a request came from outside.

"Come in." Chu Suifeng said.

The remaining two consorts had arrived. Lin Ziyin looked up curiously as they entered.

At this time, three differently styled ladies entered from outside the door.

"This humble one pays respect to the Prince and Miss." The woman leading, dressed in white, respectfully greeted Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin.

Lin Ziyin squinted a bit. This one seems to know her place, having the sense to pay respects to her. Quite interesting.

She scrutinized the lady who had just bowed. She had an undeniable respectful look on her face and watched Lin Ziyin with an ease of nonchalance.

"This humble one pays respect to the Prince." The other two ladies bowed to Chu Suifeng first, before nodding towards Lin Ziyin weakly,"Good day, Miss."

Chu Suifeng waved his hand. The three ladies all moved to the side, remaining silent. The room turned quiet.

Seeing the actions of Lin Consort and Liu Consort, Wang Consort felt regret and envy. She knew she should not have been provoked so easily, causing trouble for herself. Now that she has caused dislike from the Prince, she wondered if she would have peaceful days in the Wang Residence in the future.

"You all believe I am of low status and unworthy to be the prince’s consort." Lin Ziyin spoke up, "What does it matter? It doesn’t matter what you guys think. As long as the prince likes me, that’s all that matters. Your opinions don’t affect me."

Her voice was not loud yet it stunned all the women in the room. Although Lin Ziyin’s words were brazen, they had no retort.

True, what good would their opposition do? As long as the prince likes Lin Ziyin and favors her. Who are they to say anything?

Wang Consort felt like she had made a fool of herself. It seemed like everyone was waiting to see her make a spectacle of herself.

They had initially come to enjoy Lin Ziyin’s embarrassment, but in the end, they seemed to be the most laughable and pitiable people.

"What good will the Prince’s protection do, don’t forget there’s still the emperor above." In her shame and rage, Qin Consort pointed and scolded Lin Ziyin, "No matter where you go, you can’t change the fact that you are a cheap woman."

Everyone heard and hastily lowered their heads. Qin Consort was really boneheaded, even under such circumstances, she dared to curse. Now, she wasn’t only cursing Lin Ziyin.

Lin Ziyin was a favorite of the prince. She accompanied him into the Wang Residence. By calling Lin Ziyin a cheap woman, wasn’t Qin indirectly implying that Chu Suifeng was also cheap?

Every woman with a bit of wit in the room instantly felt today’s incident had gotten a bit out of hand.

Liu Consort and Lin Consort remained silent, not looking at anyone, maintaining their composure. Most of the other women were already kneeling, "Please forgive us, my Prince and Miss, I have failed in my management."

"If you no longer wish for a tongue, then cut it off. Pointing fingers at the princess, such great disrespect, might as well cut that off too." Chu Suifeng glanced over coldly, completely ignoring those kneeling on the floor.

"May the Prince punish as he sees fit." Ming Consort’s face turned pale.

"If you can’t keep things in line, I can find someone else." Chu Suifeng coldly responded.

"Please give me another chance, your highness." Ming Consort’s face turned even paler.
