The little Crown Princess calmly swept a glance over Madam Liu He, walked straight through the crowd without looking sideways, and re-entered her carriage.
Madam Liu was still about to make a scene when Awning unceremoniously shoved her. "Dare to make noise again, just try it!"
Clang. A gleaming longsword flashed before Madam Liu.
Madam Liu He, being a coward, was immediately frightened and retreated several steps, not daring to utter another sound.
The little Crown Princess's carriage drove away, and the manager quickly smoothed things over, smiling apologetically to the ladies. "Our humble shop isn't stopping the sale of Beauty Elixirs altogether. It's just that the crafting of the Beauty Elixirs, ah, is quite complex and miraculous. The Crown Princess puts her heart and soul into each one, and can at most only make two a month. Naturally, it's impossible to sell them every day."
Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood, and most showed expressions of comprehension. Little did they know that the old fox of a manager was simply spouting nonsense.
Although the old manager didn't know if the little Crown Princess found making the Beauty Elixirs as difficult as he claimed,
He did have some understanding: the little Crown Princess seemed to have quite a few ready-made Beauty Elixirs with her...
Hmm, sell them slowly, no rush!
"Prepare the carriage!!" Madam Liu shouted in exasperation. "To Prince Kang's Estate."
"Quick!!" Madam Liu shrieked at a line of servants. The driver, startled, immediately flicked his whip.
Everyone was already crammed together, and with her reckless, headlong rush, many noblewomen couldn't help but gasp in alarm.
Two young servants dodged left and right, almost getting directly hit by the carriage.
Watching the Liu family's carriage charge out of the crowd and drive away, the two servants who had narrowly escaped couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Madam Liu had her carriage go directly to Prince Kang's Estate and attempted to barge in without permission.
The guards at the gate naturally recognized this rude madam, and their faces immediately turned very ugly when they saw her.
This madam didn't care if they needed to announce her. She simply got out of the carriage and quickly pushed her way through the gate.
When a guard tried to stop her, she even raised her hand and slapped him, then rapidly walked further in, wailing and shouting, "Lanyun, your sister-in-law here can't live anymore! Lanyun!"
Princess Kang was in the side hall having a pleasant conversation with Madam Jiang, Royal Censor Jiang's wife, and Madam Li, Royal Censor Li's wife. Upon hearing that raucous cry, she instinctively felt a vein twitching in her forehead.
Sure enough, the ill-bred Madam Liu He, without caring if the host family had guests, brazenly burst in and flopped down by Princess Kang's leg, wailing, "Lanyun, please help your sister-in-law. Please help me ask the little Crown Princess for a Beauty Elixir."
Madam Jiang and Madam Li both felt awkward. They exchanged glances, not knowing whether they should leave immediately or continue to pretend Madam Liu He wasn't there.
Madam Liu He wiped her eyes, crying and acting dramatically, shouting, "You didn't see the little Crown Princess's deadpan face! She's so cold even to family relatives! She gives you no face at all, treating your sister-in-law like a worthless radish."
Princess Kang's face immediately turned cold, and she unceremoniously demanded, "What kind of relative is the Crown Princess to you?"
This Madam Liu He, normally so petty, always trying to gain advantages, now she had gone and embarrassed her in front of the little Crown Princess.
