Mrs. Zhang didn't expect her to react like this and was choked for a moment.

Tao Ti said calmly, "I was reckless and committed suicide by taking poison. I apologize to you. But... I have said many times before that I don't want to marry to the East Palace. Have you ever listened to my wishes?"

The original owner had said this before, but he was crying hysterically and never said it so calmly.

Mrs. Zhang still wanted to scold her with a straight face as usual, but for some reason, looking at Tao Ti's clear and serious eyes, she just felt weak in her heart.

Tao Ti said again, "Mom, I want to ask you, when you heard the news that I had taken poison, was your first reaction to be angry or worried about my safety?"

"I, I..." Mrs. Zhang's throat tightened and she turned her head awkwardly, "Aren't you fine now? Don't keep talking to me."

Tao Ti clenched her fingers and lowered her eyelashes slightly, "I understand."

She straightened her clothes and slowly got up from the couch.

Zhang was a little panicked for some reason and hurriedly said, "Ati, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to get some fresh air. If mother still wants to accuse me..." Tao Ti showed a polite but distant smile, "I've been hearing this for so many years, and I'm tired of it."

Mrs. Zhang froze on the spot. She obviously had a lot to say, but she couldn't say a word. She could only watch her daughter leave the house.

The clear sunlight shines through the carved wooden windows, casting mottled light and shadow.

Mrs. Zhang sat slumped on the couch, feeling that the heart in her chest had become empty.

For a moment, she covered her face with her hands and sobbed, "No, it's not what you think. You are a piece of flesh that fell from my body after I was pregnant for ten months. How can I not feel sorry for you...

"

*****

After coming out of the main room, Tao Ti didn't know where she was going, so she simply asked Zi Shuang to take her to the back garden so that she could find some peace and quiet.

I never thought that instead of being quiet, this back garden would be extremely lively.

"Did you all see it just now? Wu Niang seemed to have changed into a different person?"

"Yes, I feel the same way. Although she has always looked good, she is much more beautiful dressed up like this today than before!"

"Hey, what's so strange? A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Her outfit was all purchased by the palace. If she were dressed in my clothes, she would still look good."

The girls in the four rooms of the Hou Mansion gathered together to chat, and the topic naturally couldn't get around today's protagonist.

"But did she really commit suicide by taking poison? I saw that she looked very good, and she didn't look like she was committing suicide at all."

"I don't know, I just vaguely heard about it." The speaker was the daughter of the second wife, Tao Ti's cousin, the fourth lady of the Tao family. She held the embroidered handkerchief and lowered her voice and said, "Anyway, it was the night she got married.

, the uncle went to the uncle’s mother’s room and lost his temper, and said something like that the whole family would be implicated..."

As soon as these words came out, the girls' faces changed, they were both scared and resentful.

"If she really does something like that, we will all be tricked and killed by her! How can you be so vicious when you look at a person who is silent on weekdays?"

"That's right! She has been engaged to the prince since she was a child, so she should have accepted her fate early. What the hell is she doing..."

"I have heard from my second brother that the Prince Zhilan Yushu is like a banished immortal. When I saw him today, it was true. Not only was he good-looking, he was also so gentle. He actually helped her get out of the car. Alas, it is a pity that the Prince is weak and sick, otherwise it would be like this

The most perfect husband in the world."

"Hmph, if the prince is as healthy as an ordinary person, and like Wu Niang, how can he be worthy of being a princess? I'm afraid he's not even qualified to carry the prince's shoes!"

This harsh remark caused the girls to cover their lips and laugh.

Tao Ti's mouth twitched when she heard this from behind the rockery, and she wanted to rush up and say something: I don't deserve to be the crown princess, do you?
