Chapter 111 A Battle of Wits
Chapter 111 A Battle of Wits
Jiang Xinyu was picking at a pink rose, about to ask Qiyue about its variety, when a group of brightly colored girls rushed toward her with an aggressive air.
The person walking at the front was wearing a matching colored Confucian skirt. Upon seeing Jiang Xinyu, he immediately cursed her as a bitch.
Oh ho, looks like they've come with ill intentions.
Jiang Xinyu didn't stand on ceremony, smiling as she praised her.
"Whose daughter is so polite as to introduce herself right away? Hello, Miss Bitch."
Liu Feifei was surprised that Jiang Xinyu had become so sharp-tongued after not seeing her for a while, and she was furious when she heard the faint laughter around her.
"Jiang Xinyu, you are the one who is despicable, ignorant and vulgar. You don't even deserve to stand with us."
Jiang Xinyu scoffed, "So you're calling me a slut? Does that mean you're very expensive?"
How much per night?
"Are you going to offer your services or not?"
Upon hearing this, several unmarried girls blushed immediately, while Liu Feifei turned pale with anger, stammering for a long time but unable to find any words to refute it.
Jiang Xinyu clicked her tongue twice. With this level of fighting ability, she dared to jump out and stand up for others. She was too embarrassed to use her ultimate move.
Another girl in light green, supporting the crying Liu Feifei, frowned and said...
"Why be so aggressive, sister? A little quarrel between sisters is easily resolved. How could you compare Feifei to... to..."
I was so angry I cried, and then this brainless green tea b*tch popped up. She can't even utter the word "prostitute" and she dares to mess with me?
Jiang Xinyu sneered, "Who's talking to you as a sister? My father is Jiang Huai, the Vice Minister of Rites, and my husband is Xiao Yuan, the Director of the Eastern Depot."
You call me "sister" right off the bat. Do you want to share a father with me or share a husband with me?
After leaving the house, turn left and go to the Jiang residence to formally recognize your godfather.
If you want to become a concubine, turn right and go to the Eastern Depot to offer yourself as a bedmate.
In short, don't bother me here; your green tea smell is overwhelming.
Du Fangfang had prepared a bunch of accusations and threats, but before she could even utter them, Jiang Xinyu embarrassed her so much that her face turned bright red.
She wanted to explain that calling her "sister" was just to show closeness, but seeing Jiang Xinyu's ambiguous smile, she swallowed her words back amidst her tears.
Du Fangfang had a premonition that if she dared to speak, Jiang Xinyu would definitely have 100 more things to say to her. If she let that bitch keep talking, her reputation would be ruined.
Jiang Xinyu wasn't like this before. Does she suddenly become a woman and dare to say anything lewd?
She was too hasty; she shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess so rashly.
At this moment, the other girls also regretted their actions, and seeing the fate of the two vanguards, none of them dared to utter a sound.
Zhao Zhenzhen couldn't hold back any longer. She took a few steps forward, pointed at Jiang Xinyu's nose, and angrily cursed.
"You vicious woman, you only bully us because we are young women and have thin skin. If you have the guts, come with me to the flower hall and let the elders judge this matter."
You maliciously spread rumors and smear someone's reputation; I refuse to believe that no one can deal with you.
Sisters, don't be afraid. With so many of us as witnesses, we don't believe she can distort the truth.
Jiang Xinyu was so angry she laughed when she looked at her former sister-in-law.
"Were you reincarnated as a sack in your past life? How can you hold so much?"
Don't you know what it means to be the one who starts the fight?
I was just enjoying the flowers here and you rushed over and barked at me like dogs. I'm not your parents, why should I put up with you?
They were all easily provoked and eagerly became pawns for others.
The brain is an everyday necessity, not an ornament; sometimes it's good to use it a little when things get complicated.
Whether I am noble or lowly, good or bad in character, has nothing to do with you.
If you like upholding justice so much, why don't you go work at the Five Cities Garrison? You could get paid while meddling in other people's business.
And you, Jiang Wanqiu!
I've been having a bad memory lately. Could you tell me if I've been too lenient with you again?
If you're bored, go lick a toilet bowl. But if you dare to gossip behind my back again, don't blame me for being ruthless.
As soon as Jiang Wanqiu saw the fire spread to her, she immediately burst into tears, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Sister, you've misunderstood. I didn't."
Jiang Xinyu chuckled, "You mean you didn't talk badly about me behind my back, and that it was these few smart guys who suddenly gained mind-reading abilities and saw that I was bullying you, so they came to provoke me?"
Wow, that's amazing!
What are you all standing there for?
Hey, aren't you here to condemn me?
If you're afraid you can't win an argument, you can resort to violence. There are plenty of people at today's birthday banquet, so let's have a battle that will ruin our reputations and bring some joy to everyone.
I don't care!
Anyway, once I'm married, someone will take over, but that doesn't necessarily apply to you guys.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed instantly, and the girls who had been hesitant to leave immediately scattered.
Pshaw, there's not a single one who can fight!
Zhao Zhenzhen was so angry that she stomped her feet and cursed her sisters for being disloyal, but seeing Jiang Xinyu's fierce fighting power, she could only tear at her handkerchief in frustration.
Luckily, that bastard didn't marry into their family; if she had become her sister-in-law, she would have no chance of survival.
But then again, if Jiang Xinyu really married her brother, he probably wouldn't dare treat her like that.
Li Mingyue used to be much more formidable than Jiang Xinyu, but now her mother has her completely under her thumb.
Jiang Wanqiu knew that the "public opinion can melt metal" tactic could no longer harm Jiang Xinyu, so she could only helplessly pull Zhao Zhenzhen away elsewhere.
Jiang Xinyu was too lazy to pay attention to these two idiots, and only urged Qiyue to quickly introduce these flowers and plants to her.
She can't live without a reputation. Jiang Wanqiu can't do that. Now that those girls have realized they've been used as pawns, she'll surely have a wonderful time at the banquets to come.
The flowers and plants in the Chengyi Earl’s house were indeed numerous and varied. July was indeed a living encyclopedia. Jiang Xinyu listened with increasing fascination, and the three of them unknowingly walked around half of the garden.
Little did she know that while she was dominating and driving away those girls, two people were standing in the bushes behind her, listening to the whole thing.
One of them pinched his thigh so hard that tears welled up in his eyes before he managed to stop laughing out loud.
The other young man, whose face was gloomy, also managed a rare smile.
Jiang Xinyu, Xiao Yuan's mistaken wife, how interesting!
Jiang Xinyu wasn't interested in the birthday greetings and small talk, and only returned after the people arranging the banquet started inviting people to their seats.
Although Lady Bo wanted to curry favor, she didn't dare to put the table of a eunuch's wife and a noble lady from the border region at that table. After thinking it over, she arranged for Liu and her daughter, along with her sister-in-law and niece, to accompany the guests.
Firstly, since everyone is related, even if Miss Jiang marries well, there's nothing wrong with her being arranged to live with her maternal relatives.
Secondly, since her sister-in-law was also involved in this matter concerning Jiang Xinyu, it would be better to ask the mother and daughter to sound out their opinions first.
Even after the banquet began, Governor Xiao had not arrived. Marquis Chengyi even sent someone to inquire, but Jiang Xinyu gave a perfunctory answer that he was busy with official duties and might arrive later.
That's not surprising.
Important figures don't usually dine out casually; even if they're given face, they won't just come for a drink and leave. The Xie family didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
Unexpectedly, just as the banquet was drawing to a close, an old woman rushed in in a panic and threw herself at Jiang Xinyu's table, crying and pleading with her sister-in-law, the Madam.
"Madam, hurry up and leave! Our mansion has been ransacked, and those people are here to arrest you and Master."
Madam Qin and Miss Qin were immediately frightened and started crying as they went to find Madam Qin for help.
Just as they saw the old lady, they heard a commotion. Two maids hurriedly came over and whispered a few words to the old lady.
The old lady's face changed drastically. Just as she stood up, three people entered through the door.
The man at the head of the group was fair-skinned, had no beard, and stood tall and elegant. His black robe with gold patterns shone brightly in the sunlight.
His eyes were sharp and deep, like a venomous snake waiting to strike, and the two guards behind him, carrying swords, were also full of menacing aura.
The old lady slumped back down, only four words flashing through her mind:
The visitor is not good.
