Chapter 629 - 629 569 Humiliation_1
?Chapter 629: Chapter 569: Humiliation_1 Chapter 629: Chapter 569: Humiliation_1 Daohua’s insistence brought the situation to a deadlock.
Madam Jia stood up, her face set as she watched Daohua intently. She had never expected to encounter such a forthright and unadorned lady among the female relations of local officials.
There were such ladies in Beijing, but most of them came from noble families and were full of confidence. But this Miss Yan was merely the daughter of a fourth-rank official—how could she dare?
She belonged to the Taihou Palace. To disrespect her was to disrespect the Empress Dowager; to offend the Empress Dowager was something a fourth-rank official could not afford.
Seeing the steady and calm light in Daohua’s eyes, Madam Jia felt an inward heaviness. This was someone who wasn’t afraid to make a fuss.
She had ways to deal with ladies who cared about face, making them suffer without being able to voice it, but she had to be cautious around one ready to go to such lengths.
She was a personage of the Empress Dowager, wielding her power, but she also had to maintain the Empress Dowager’s reputation. If word got out that she shamed the daughter of an Imperial Envoy, it would reflect poorly on the Empress Dowager.
Thinking of all this, Madam Jia truly felt a headache coming on. She had already apologized; what more did they want from her?
Daohua looked indifferently at Madam Jia. Of course, she intended to blow things up. She had suffered from malicious rumors several times already and knew too well how harmful they could be.
