Chapter 5332: Confrontation

A madam offered a fair assessment: "Though Fourth Young Master Fu isn't as handsome, elegant, and charming as Third Young Master, his upright appearance and sound limbs aren't bad either."

"Exactly. This Miss Bao is just from a minor family. To be able to marry into the Changning Marquis's Residence and become a proper wife, what could she possibly be dissatisfied with?"

"Truly, human greed knows no bounds, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."

"Heh, isn't this girl just too ambitious? She's seen better, so naturally, she doesn't want to settle for this."

"Pfft, but that's only if Third Young Master was interested in her. The last time I saw Third Young Master and Princess Wushuang together, they truly were a perfect match."

A young lady cast a disdainful glance at Bao Cuiping. "So shameless. Someone else has already been betrothed by His Majesty and will soon marry. If she were a well-educated young lady from a good family, she wouldn't try to interfere in others' affairs."

"Oh right, she even did something like that before, slandering and spreading rumors, forcibly fabricating a false engagement with Third Young Master. If it were us, after being exposed, we wouldn't even dare to look at the Princess. Even if we met on the road, we would have already covered our faces in shame and fled."

"Exactly, exactly."

"It's said that the married eldest and second young ladies of the Fu family are also very displeased about this matter."

"Of course. Miss Bao slandered their own brother. Which sister would be happy to hear about such a thing?"

"All of you, shut up!" Fourth Young Master Fu's chest tightened with anger as he heard everyone criticizing Bao Cuiping. What was going on? Why was Cuiping perfectly fine this morning, but now she's been beaten into such a state?

And these gossiping women were all gathered here, only speaking ill of Cuiping. How could a young lady like Cuiping endure all this? She had already fainted from anger, yet these people still wouldn't let her go. They were simply heartless!

"Princess Wushuang, even if you are a princess, you cannot bully a young lady from our Changning Marquis's Residence like this!" Fourth Young Master Fu angrily rebuked. "Isn't it enough that you made her faint? You're still letting all these people, all these mouths, humiliate and scold her? Do you have any humanity?!"

"Aiya, Fourth Young Master, we don't like to hear you speak like that." A rather sharp-tongued madam immediately retorted without giving him face.

"How did we humiliate Miss Bao? We are just here, speaking among ourselves. If she doesn't want to listen, she doesn't have to. Why would she faint from anger?"

Miss Yang said softly, "No one said anything bad."

"Exactly. If you dare to do it, you shouldn't be afraid of people talking about it," another young lady covered her mouth with a fan, rolling her eyes with extreme disdain.

"Fourth Young Master, we didn't scold her. You need to get your facts straight about this."

Princess Wushuang nonchalantly glanced at Fourth Young Master Fu. Before she could speak, a gloomy voice came from the doorway.

"Fourth Young Master Fu, take your woman and get out of here immediately. Don't be an eyesore in front of my wife again!"

"If you cherish her, then take her back and cherish her to your heart's content. It's best to keep her locked in your room and never let her out again. Lest she be like a mad dog, biting anyone she catches," Third Young Master Fu strode in, opening his mouth to confront them without giving Fourth Young Master Fu any face.

"Also, we will be getting married at the General's Residence. There will be no need for your mother to come and laboriously organize things. I have my two elder sisters to help out at the General's Residence."
