After all, a prince died, and the Lu family, the Guan family, and Princess Cheng were involved. After Prince Cheng was executed, people with good intentions focused on Jiuyun Lane, but it was beyond everyone's expectation. , everything in Tang Mansion was as usual, even the banquet scheduled for the next day was not delayed.
Tang Mansion did not send a message to postpone the banquet. Those who received the message looked at Mrs. Rong Guo who was smiling and smiling when they came to the banquet the next day.
Seeing Mrs. Rongguo talking to Princess Leyang in the waterside pavilion in the distance, with a radiant face without any trace of gloom, some people couldn't help but mutter: "This Princess Cheng is too ruthless. She and Prince Cheng are close to each other after all. We have been married for ten years, and King Cheng has just beheaded her, but she is so happy that she unknowingly thinks that the person who died is someone else."
"No, I heard that no one was able to collect the body of King Cheng yesterday. In the end, people from the palace found straw mats, wrapped him up and threw him out of the city."
"Prince Cheng and his wife used to be very affectionate. Although Prince Cheng was wrong, they have never accepted anyone else in these years. At least Rongyue has enjoyed all the honor of Princess Cheng on the surface. Now she doesn't say that she accepts Princess Cheng for her. It seems too narrow-minded to even add insult to injury by hosting this thank-you banquet..."
As soon as Qian Qiyue entered the garden pavilion with Mrs. Zhou on her arm, she heard someone muttering. She sneered at the ladies who were talking with a cold face: "You think this thank-you banquet is not good, why are you still doing it?" What?!"
She raised her head and looked at the person who spoke the most unpleasant words:
"Mrs. Rongguo is naturally not as generous as Mrs. Huang. After all, there is no other family in the whole capital that treats the bastard of your house as kindly as Mrs. Huang. I heard that Mr. Huang Erlang was not only the first to become an official, but also rushed to get married. Before Mrs. Huang’s biological son.”
The pavilion fell silent for a moment, and Mrs. Huang, who had been talking just now, looked extremely ugly.
"You!" She glared at Qian Qiyue: "Whose girl are you from? What are you talking about?!"
Qian Qiyue smiled and sneered: "I'm not like some people who talk nonsense. I always tell the truth. We common people talk about being close and distant, but Mrs. Huang's heart is as big as the sea."
"If a concubine in my family dares to steal the marriage of a direct brother, seduce his sister-in-law and cause scandal before getting married, he will definitely have his legs broken and be expelled from the clan. It's not as good as Mrs. Huang's family. This affair has been stolen to his own brother, and he can still share it with his brother. Eating and living together makes the whole family happy."
The corners of the mouths of the ladies from various houses in the pavilion twitched.
Mrs. Tuesday couldn't help but pull Qian Qiyue and coughed softly.
This incident in the Huang family was a big joke at the beginning. The concubine seduced the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the marriage contract was changed before the wedding. The concubine was so angry that he almost killed the concubine. However, Master Huang doted on the concubine and felt sorry for the concubine, so he forcibly suppressed the matter. , it’s not that Mrs. Huang doesn’t want to settle accounts, but Mr. Huang is standing in the way.
Mrs. Huang was stabbed in the lungs, her face was livid with anger: "You...you..."
"What are you?"
Qian Qiyue raised her chin: "Mrs. Huang, what advice do you have? Oh, if you want to propose marriage, then you can do it. The atmosphere of your house is such that the little girl really dare not compliment you, but Mrs. Huang and Mr. Huang are loving husband and wife, and they will bear it for love." The concubine regards her as her own son, and she can endure even having her daughter-in-law robbed. This little girl admires her."
Mrs. Huang was shaking with anger. Seeing the people around her looking this way, she felt like they were mocking her even if they didn't say anything. She took a few steps forward and waved her hand, wanting to hit Qian Qiyue. .
The girl on Tuesday quickly took Qian Qiyue and took a step back, frowning slightly: "Mrs. Huang, this is Jiuyun Lane, please respect yourself."
Mrs. Huang said angrily: "So what about Jiuyun Lane?! This girl has a vicious mouth and no trace of virtuous women. She slanders the reputation of my Huang family with her words and talks nonsense about other people's back houses. She will definitely be a disaster in the future. I Today, I will teach her a lesson on behalf of the elders in her family!!"
How could Qian Qiyue give in? She put her chin on her hips and wanted to step forward, but at this moment, a voice came from behind her.
"Who does this lady want to teach you a lesson in Tang Mansion?"
Qian Qiyue rolled up her sleeves for a moment, then turned her head: "Tang Ning!"
Tang Ning?
The Lord of Yiyang County?
Those people in the pavilion instantly looked up at the young girl walking outside. She was wearing a long blue dress, with beautiful features and clear black eyes. When she glanced inside, she let the people who were talking together before They all changed colors.
Mrs. Huang, who was pointing at Qian Qiyue just now, also lost color on her face. Before she could speak, Qian Qiyue, whose face was open and her mouth was like a knife just now, suddenly fell down.
"Tang Ning, why are you here!"
Qian Qiyue's appearance was extremely beautiful, and her eyebrows were raised when she smiled, but when she pursed her mouth in aggrievedness, her beauty made her look a little pitiful.
"They bullied me. She said that Mrs. Rongguo was narrow-minded and ignored the relationship between husband and wife. She also said that she did not go to collect the body of King Cheng but instead held a banquet here with others. She was too cruel and heartless. I was just angry that she was slandering us behind our backs. Aunt, I just said a few words to her, but she actually wanted to hit me."
Qian Qiyue hid beside Tang Ning and said, "Tang Ning, I'm so scared."
Lady Tuesday: “…”
Onlookers: "..."
Tang Ning glanced at the serious Qian Qiyue who was "crying" on her shoulder. A smile flashed in her eyes. She patted Qian Qiyue's shoulder comfortingly. When she looked up at Mrs. Huang, her face turned cold. .
Mrs. Huang panicked: "Yiyang County Master, don't listen to her nonsense. I was just chatting with someone. She was the one who slandered our Huang family. I was so angry that I wanted to teach her a lesson..."
"Did this lady say what Sister Qian just said?"
"I……"
Mrs. Huang suddenly choked. She wanted to argue that she had not said it, but there were so many people present and she did not hold back her voice when discussing with them.
At that time, it was also because there were no people from the Tang family around, and most of these people were acquaintances, so they casually said a few words without paying attention at all. Who would have thought that a girl would come out and point her nose at her and scold her?
Mrs. Huang whispered: "I was just chatting with people..."
"Have you said it or not?"
Mrs. Huang opened her mouth but said nothing.
"Then you've said it before?" When Tang Ning raised her eyes, her warmth was gone: "Which family are you from?"
"Her husband's family is Huang Yi, the young minister of Taichang Temple."
After Qian Qiyue put her head around and said that, she turned her head and leaned on Mrs. Tuesday's shoulder.
Mrs. Tuesday could hardly keep her expression steady, and pinched Qian Qiyue helplessly.
Tang Ning, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He just looked at Mrs. Huang and said, "Master Huang works as an errand in Taichang Temple. He is responsible for the etiquette of the ancestral temple. He has received the imperial power and sacred mandate. I think he should be very clear about the imperial edict. Follow the principles.”
"Your Majesty has personally approved the divorce between my aunt and King Cheng. From now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other. Mrs. Rongguo is the master of the Rong family, not a vassal of others, and there is no need to look at people's faces. Mrs. Huang does not understand the emperor's orders. , or are you questioning His Majesty’s will?”
