Chapter 550: No Respect for Seniors

But Yun Muyou had forgotten one thing: this was the Prince's residence. Could any of the guests possibly come from modest backgrounds?

Had she not been the wife of Marquess Yuanshen, she wouldn't have even been allowed past the threshold.

So there she waited in place for a long time, yet no one approached her to say hello, nor would they speak to her as they walked past—whereas after passing by, they engaged in hushed conversations.

During lunch, her humiliation was complete: seated before a table of Marchionesses, not a soul spoke to her, as if she didn't exist.

Through the meal, she felt as if she were chewing wax.

The woman wore a smile full of warmth and grace.
