901 Wife and Concubine (6)

When Lu Wan’er and Madam Lu heard this, they almost choked.

What was going on? They originally wanted to trick Shen Miao and accuse her of being rude, so naturally, there was no one guarding the entrance. However, after hearing what Shen Miao said, it seemed like the Lu family was so poor that they could not even afford to hire a servant to guard the door. Shen Miao even asked the guards to guard the door. If the commoners passing by outside saw this, what would they think?

Shen Miao said kindly, “Madam, you don’t have to thank me. If you need it in the future, you can ask His Highness to send a few guards over to watch the door.”

The surrounding madams also understood that this Princess Consort Rui was definitely not someone to be trifled with. The Lu family had originally arranged this show to scare Shen Miao so that Shen Miao would make a fool of herself.

Unexpectedly, not only was Shen Miao not at a disadvantage, but she even gave the Lu family a taste of their own medicine.

Madam Lu forced a smile and said, “Princess Consort, please take a seat first.”

The seat arranged for Shen Miao was in an inconspicuous spot.

Shen Miao did not decline. She did not come today to argue, let alone quarrel. She just wanted to express her attitude and take the opportunity to evaluate the situation clearly.

Ba Jiao quietly leaned over and whispered into Shen Miao’s ear, “That round-faced madam is Madam Yuan. She’s on good terms with the Lu family. The short madam is Madam Wei, the wife of the Minister of Revenue. She’s in-laws with the Ye family and has a good relationship with the Lu family… As for the madam on the left wearing a yellow dress, her husband is the marquis. Young Master Ji is her youngest son.”

Ji Yushu’s mother? Shen Miao looked at Madam Ji. Madam Ji was very composed and calm, lookng completely different from Ji Yushu.

Shen Miao thought to herself that these madams were either rich or noble. No wonder they said that the Lu family was quite influential in Long Ye, and Consort Jing was so arrogant that she did not even take Empress Xiande seriously. Since these families all wanted to get close to the Lu family, it was obvious that the Lu family had a lot of connections with them.

If Emperor Yong Le and Xie Jingxing wanted to completely suppress the Lu family, it would not be easy. The life and death of the Lu family concerned many other officials. If the Lu family fell, many families related to it would suffer. For the sake of their own survival, those families would not sit back and watch the Lu family fall.

Just as she was thinking, someone walked over and sat down beside her. Ba Jiao immediately stood up and stopped explaining to Shen Miao. Shen Miao turned around and saw the beautiful and proud Fourth Miss Lu sitting beside her.
