It was even quieter.
The Second Lady of the Chu Family might have been born by a concubine, but she was a lady from the Chu Family! Now the Crown Prince Consort was slapping her right on the face in public!
Those ladies and madames were so shocked to have witnessed the scene.
Actually, those ladies and madames were all born in the officers’ families, and they could punish either concubines and servants at their own mansions, and the punishment would be more than one slap on the face, but those were just private actions.
On the surface, they would always hold their ill tempers.
And that was a rule they should all keep in mind.
However, the Crown Prince Consort slapped the Second Lady of the Chu Family’s face…
The Second Lady of the Chu Family was also a lady from the Chu Family! And some of them were not even as good as the Second Lady of the Chu Family!
So those people believed that they would not have a promising future when following the Crown Prince Consort.
At this moment, people started to think.
For one moment, they dare not say a thing. They believed that keeping silent was the best solution.
The Second Lady of the Chu Family was helping the Crown Prince Consort a while ago.
The Crown Prince Consort was the Crown Prince’s wife, yes, but she was nothing in front of Mrs. Min. So from the interest point of view, the Second Lady of the Chu Family was helping the Crown Prince Consort.
She was letting Crown Prince Consort vent her anger yet avoid offending Mrs. Min.
However, the Crown Prince Consort could not tell right from wrong.
The Second Lady of the Chu Family was dumbfounded after being slapped in the face.
The annoyed Gu Ruxue had no idea what mistake she had made, so she shouted. “Second Lady of the Chu Family, what rights do you have to defend me?”
The Second Lady of the Chu Family was so anxious that she would like to give an explanation.
Zhou Huailing was here with Junyi at the moment.
He hurried forward and frowned, whispering. “Ruxue, stop it!”
Being in the front hall, he heard the noise but did not believe that it was his business. If not for Junyi’s reminder, he would not have decided to check it out, since he believed that Ruxue was someone everyone admired, and nothing would go wrong. He thought that it must be a fight between two ladies from some families.
However, now… he found out that it was Ruxue who was making the fuss. And she was having a row with the Second Lady of the Chu Family!
Honestly, the Second Lady of the Chu Family was useful to them! She could snap at her, but if she was irritated, he would fail to get the Chu Family to take his side!
Annoyed and anxious, Zhou Huailing could not possibly vent his anger.
He whispered. “Just stop it!”
Gu Ruxue was extremely annoyed, and she did not want to listen to what he was saying. She was about to spew some more curses, when Zhou Huailing gagged her.
That brought silence into the hall, but suddenly, noise arose.
Zhou Huailing frowned. “What is going on?”
The guard said, “Madame Min is not feeling well. She just passed out!”
What happened?
Startled, Zhou Huailing was about to check it out.
Gu Chaoyan stood up too and decided to have a look at it.
For one moment, Madame Min was surrounded by a crowd.
Zhou Huailing was about to show his concern when Gu Chaoyan rushed in, so Junyi got upset. “What are you doing here, useless woman?”
