I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 320 Peng Xu'an's Marriage 4

Gu Wenxuan didn't care what other people thought. She didn't want to argue with the girl, so she just swallowed her anger and let her do what she wanted. She didn't have a good temper, so the quickest way to solve the problem was to slap the girl in the face and teach her a lesson.

She looked around, trying to find a way to demonstrate her fighting skills without damaging the Peng family's property, so as to intimidate this stupid guy who was causing trouble for her.

But before she could find a suitable exhibit, a woman in a satin dress with several gold hairpins in her hair rushed towards her screaming.

"You despicable little bitch! You have such a vicious heart!" She cursed and raised her hand, ready to slap Gu Wenxuan back.

Gu Wenxuan raised her hand and quickly and accurately grasped the other person's wrist, then used her other hand to quickly pull out the three golden hairpins on the other person's head.

The onlookers were confused. They thought Gu Wenxuan would fight with the mother and daughter, but unexpectedly she actually pulled out the hairpin on the other's head. This......

All kinds of weird thoughts flashed through the minds of those who couldn't understand Gu Wenxuan's motives. Some of them thought that Gu Wenxuan wanted to get a handy weapon for herself so as not to be at a disadvantage when outnumbered two at one. Others thought that Gu Wenxuan was crazy about money and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune. Anyway, no one thought that Gu Wenxuan actually just wanted to intimidate the mother and daughter.

She was seen using one hand to fend off the attacks, scratches and bites from the woman and her daughter. Not only was she not hurt at all, but while the other party was attacking her relentlessly, she used her left hand to pinch the three hairpins of the woman until they were deformed.

Everyone watched helplessly as the three golden hairpins were deformed and twisted in her hands, and finally she rolled them into a lump of gold and stuffed it accurately into the woman's mouth, blocking her constant foul language and even nearly knocking out her front teeth.

Hiss—most of the people gasped in their hearts, while the remaining few couldn't help but look at the girl who had been frightened silly.

Yes, the girl who was originally helping her mother to deal with Gu Wenxuan was so frightened by Gu Wenxuan's move that she stood still.

When Gu Wenxuan pushed her mother away and turned her cold gaze towards her, the girl burst into tears.

She was afraid that Gu Wenxuan would use the same trick against her.

Her mother struggled to pull out the piece of gold that Gu Wenxuan had forced into her mouth, "Don't, don't touch my daughter!"

Gu Wenxuan glared at him, "You don't want to be beaten? Then shut up and get out of here."

Before the woman could say anything else, Peng Xuan'an's aunt came running over breathlessly, "Hey, what happened?"

Gu Wenxuan didn't say anything, but the woman burst into tears. She slapped her thigh and said, "Madam Zhao, we came here with good intentions to congratulate you, but we were bullied so badly by this woman in the county magistrate's mansion. You must seek justice for us, mother and daughter!"

Madam Zhao ignored her and looked at Gu Wenxuan inquiringly, "Miss Gu?"

Gu Wenxuan pointed at the girl and said, "She said I stunk and there were mud spots on the hem of my skirt. I ignored her because the Peng family was having a wedding today, but she kept pestering me. She came over and pointed at my face, saying I was a country bumpkin and asked if I was deaf or dumb."

"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I slapped her in the face. Then the woman rushed over and started insulting and beating me together. While I was resisting, I rolled up the woman's gold hairpin into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth."

This statement was not exaggerated at all. If someone who didn't know her read Gu Wenxuan's calm and objective attitude, they would definitely think she was talking about other people's affairs.

When Mrs. Zhao saw her like this, she couldn't help but admire her even more.

Although she had not had much personal contact with Gu Wenxuan, she had often heard Peng Nian'an and other people in the Zhao family praise this girl, and she was still very confident in her character and temperament.

In addition, the other guests present, including some relatives of their Zhao family, did not show any strange expressions when the girl recounted the whole story. Even a daughter-in-law of the Zhao family whom she was more familiar with nodded at her subtly to show that everything Gu Wenxuan said was true. Mrs. Zhao observed their words and expressions and felt more confident.

She looked at the mother and daughter, "Is that so?"

The woman subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Mrs. Zhao said, "Madam, I advise you to think it over before you answer. There are relatives and friends of the Peng and Zhao families in this open hall."

The woman was suddenly speechless.

Madam Zhao asked again, "Excuse me, are the causes and consequences of the matter as Miss Gu said?"

The mother and daughter lowered their heads, their eyes rolling around, but still didn't speak.

Madam Zhao frowned, "In that case, I'll have to ask you two to go back to where you came from. Also, I'll have someone tell my brother-in-law everything about this matter."

The mother and daughter panicked when they heard this.

They were the wives of a certain gentry family in Qingshan County. Their family owned many fields and shops. The only regret was that, apart from the dying old head of the family who had the title of scholar, none of the male members of the two generations in the family had passed the imperial examinations.

Seeing that the only person in the family with a record of merit is about to die, their family is now looking forward to marrying their daughter to other scholars or even juren in the county, so that they can continue to enjoy all the preferential treatment from the court by relying on their son-in-law's merits.

However, the scholars and juren they admired were either already engaged or even married, or they were unwilling to marry them because of their bad family traditions.

The family was inevitably anxious because of their repeated setbacks. Now, because of Peng Xuan'an's marriage, they finally got the opportunity to get in front of the most influential people in the county. They wanted to use this wedding banquet to achieve their goal.

However, just because they want to cling to others doesn't mean that others will be willing to let them cling to them. This mother and daughter and their family members who were trying to curry favor with them in the front yard all ended up being rejected without exception.

The woman resented others for looking down on her, so she gritted her teeth and pushed her daughter to Peng Nian'an, asking her to curry favor with the eldest daughter of the county magistrate.

She thought Peng Nian'an was a little girl who was easy to fool, but she didn't know that although Peng Nian'an was young and inexperienced, she was very sensitive to other people's emotions because of her past experiences.

The girl's jealousy, calculations, insincere flattery and fawning on Peng Nian'an made Peng Nian'an want to stay away from her immediately.

Although Peng Nian'an did not really avoid the girl as if she were a plague because it was an auspicious day for her brother to get married, her attitude towards the girl could be described as keeping her at a distance.

If not for this, the girl wouldn't have been so blinded by jealousy and gone to cause trouble for Gu Wenxuan.
