The little princess was watching the dispute in the pavilion not far from the crowd.
He was prepared to show up and scold Zhao Huaqiong when Lin Jinyan couldn't explain clearly. With this favor, he would definitely be able to help Chu Chengyao.
Thinking of this, the little princess couldn't help but feel good. She raised her chin slightly with a proud expression, secretly hoping that Zhao Huaqiong's scolding would be harsher.
At the side door, Qin Zhixu ordered someone to send a message to Qin Zongliang and detained Chu Chengye, Chu Chengyao and Zhao Shangshu. He hid his figure inside the door, happily watching the show, with no intention of going out to persuade him to make peace.
In the field, Zhao Huaqiong's curses made everyone watching the show feel bold.
Those close to the Gu Lin family frowned secretly and prepared to speak for Lin Jinyan.
The family members of the officials who followed Chu Chengye hurriedly sent people to find Chu Chengye, while preparing to come forward to persuade him.
Those in the prince's party were gloating over the misfortune, especially Xue, the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Household Affairs. Seeing that Zhao Huaqiong was more powerful than they thought, the smile in her eyes could not be suppressed.
Between the backyard and the front yard, there were suddenly crowds of people, and more and more people were watching the excitement.
Before anyone could say anything, Lin Jinyan stepped forward and glared at Zhao Huaqiong. There was only half a step between them.
"Ms. Zhao, I believe that I act with integrity and respect for others. Even if you repeatedly slander and cause trouble, I will still treat you with courtesy. I don't want you to not know how to restrain yourself, but instead go further and humiliate my elders! I dare to ask Miss Zhao, what is your identity today? Stand up for the young master of the Xiao family who has no marriage contract with you? Are you committed to him? Or are you the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family?"
"I……"
Zhao Huaqiong was shocked by the intimidating aura in Lin Jinyan's eyes and took half a step back. Just as he was about to refute, he was interrupted again by Lin Jinyan:
"Children all know that we must respect teachers who educate people, love the army that protects our country, and respect doctors who save people! When Miss Zhao just insulted me, it not only affected my grandfather and grandpa, but even the Cang Sheng who is respected by everyone in the world. Shan, you humiliate me at will without any scruples. Whose power do you rely on to act so wildly? And who taught you?"
Lin Jinyan stared at Zhao Huaqiong closely and stepped forward again without waiting for her to speak:
"You framed me for no reason just because you have feelings for the young master of the Xiao family. After I told the truth, you didn't ask for witnesses or send anyone to investigate. Instead, you corrupted the family tradition, flattered me, and used all kinds of intrigues. Foxy, these vicious words that ruin a woman's honor are being slapped on my head forcefully!"
As he spoke, Lin Jinyan pointed at An Zhixian without squinting:
"Boss An is just telling the truth, but you can actually say that I have an affair with him. You and I are both women. Don't you know the honor of a girl and treat women more than life?! Don't you understand that rumors can destroy a reputation? kill?!"
"Just because of a foreign man, just because you have secret thoughts in your heart, you are so cruel and cruel to destroy people's reputations and lives! Who is the one who behaves so dirty, seduces the foreign man, and ruins the family tradition?"
Zhao Huaqiong was about to open her mouth when her arm was pinched by Mrs. Zhao who rushed over:
"Ms. Lin has a nice mouth. My little girl has been spoiled since she was a child. She has no heart and speaks straightforwardly and loves to play nonsense. If I have offended Miss Lin, I apologize on my little girl's behalf."
"Such words and deeds that ruin a person's reputation, can Mrs. Zhao end the matter just by making nonsense?"
As Gu Hongzhang's voice came, everyone turned around and saw several old men in the longevity hall standing by the door with Gu Hongzhang. Almost all the guests in the front yard were following behind them. The onlookers hurriedly bowed and made way.
Upon seeing this, Qin Zhixu dressed up and prepared to come forward, but Feng Sinian strode out from behind her.
