Princess Ronghe didn't care about the crying maid being dragged away by the guards, instead, she hastily put on a forced smile and apologized sincerely to Mrs. Chu and Chen Afu.
Chen Afu pretended not to hear, while Mrs. Chu lambasted Feng Miaohua for her lack of upbringing, for being ruthless and vile even though she was still young, for being difficult to wed because of her future prospects, etc. Princess Ronghe was livid, and Feng Miaohua was sobbing uncontrollably.
This banquet gathered almost all of the prestigious families in the Capital City. With Mrs. Chu's words, it would be difficult for Feng Miaohua to find a good marital match in the future, unless it was bestowed as a reward.
