Madam Ji sneered, "Teach a lesson? What identity does Madam Shen have to do this? Just now your daughter said that Mingzhu has nothing to do with the Shen family now, but you are taking over my job and teaching her a lesson for me? What's the logic behind this?"
Su Wanqing never expected that Madam Ji would react like this.
Even after Shen Yuan said that, she still helped Shen Mingzhu.
Could it be that Shen Yuan hasn’t explained it clearly yet?
That wouldn't do. She would never allow Shen Mingzhu to cheat people under the name of the Shen family.
Thinking of this, she began to explain again.
"Old Madam, you may not understand what Yuanyuan just said. Yuanyuan is young and she thinks Shen Mingzhu is her elder sister, so she spoke in a more tactful way."
"Let me explain to you again. Shen Mingzhu is extremely unruly and rebellious. Not only did she make me faint, she also spoke nonsense to my husband, who was her nominal father before. This caused my husband to be furious and he kicked her out of the Shen family. Such a low-quality person is not qualified to be your guest of honor."
"If you were simply deceived by her sweet words, you should cut your losses now. Don't encourage her to become complacent and arrogant!"
Before Madam Ji could speak, she heard a chuckle.
Su Wanqing and Shen Yuan looked at the culprit who made the noise at the same time.
Shen Mingzhu met Su Wanqing's gaze without fear, "So, Shen Mingzhu is so unbearable in your mind. I feel sorry for her!"
Su Wanqing couldn't quite understand why Shen Mingzhu used the third-person perspective in this sentence.
However, Shen Mingzhu had no intention of explaining, and she continued speaking.
"Also, if you came here today just to discredit me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Regardless of whether the things you said are true, your idea that I was invited by the Ji family because of the Shen family's name is completely wrong."
"As Shen Yuan said, I have nothing to do with your Shen family now. I was invited by the Ji family only because of my friendship with the old lady. Don't fantasize that the Ji family treated me like this for your sake. You are so shameless. How capable do you really think you are?"
"Especially since you can be so brazen as to say in front of Madam Ji that you will teach me a lesson for her, I think you should just go home and stop embarrassing yourself!"
"You!" Su Wanqing was furious, but she couldn't think of anything to refute. After all, she had lived a smooth life, and the only thing she had hit a wall with was Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Yuan is more experienced than her.
"Sister, how could you treat Mommy like this? Mommy has raised you for so many years. She has done a lot, but you treat her like this. No wonder Daddy wants to kick you out."
Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Yuan with a smile, "I was so busy with my big brother that I almost forgot about you. But I want to ask, have you not given up the idea of selling tea even at this point?"
"The whole sentence clearly emphasizes that I have nothing to do with you, why do you have to call your sister disgusting at the beginning?"
"You don't think you're cute like this, do you? Why don't you touch your heart before you speak? You're obviously disgusting, aren't you? And yet you insist on shouting like that. Do you have a masochistic tendency? Or are you unable to give up your green tea persona and insist on showing off?"
"But calling you a green tea is an insult to the word. Unfortunately, my vocabulary is limited and I really can't find a word to replace this feeling. Please bear with me!"
"Shen Mingzhu! Don't go too far!"
"Too much? Who is going too far? Didn't you two start it first? Now that you can't argue with me, you're turning the tables?"
"A man must humiliate himself before others humiliate him."
"You guys are eager to put your faces close to me and let me hit you. How can I not satisfy you?"
At this moment, Su Wanqing and Shen Yuan had the same idea, which was to go up and tear that mouth apart.
But Madam Ji said calmly, “Okay, stop making trouble. If Madam Shen has nothing else to do, I won’t stay any longer!”
Although Madam Ji's words were meant to ask Shen Mingzhu to stop making trouble, the doting in her tone was almost overflowing.
Not only does it not mean to deny or dissuade me, but it actually gives me a feeling of letting go.
This made Su Wanqing and Shen Yuan extremely angry.
But what Old Madam Ji said was already an order to expel them.
If they continued to engage in meaningless entanglement with Shen Mingzhu, they might be asked to leave in the next second.
No matter how angry they were, they could not forget the important business of today.
Su Wanqing took several deep breaths to make her voice not sound too sharp.
"Since Shen Mingzhu, the reason why you stay in the Ji family has nothing to do with our Shen family, I won't bother about it."
"But there is one thing that must be said."
Su Wanqing straightened her expression and looked at Old Madam Ji.
"Madam Ji, shouldn't we finalize the marriage that we verbally agreed upon? At that time, Yuanyuan hadn't returned home yet, so the candidate was Shen Mingzhu. But now Shen Mingzhu no longer belongs to the Shen family, so shouldn't we change the public statement about the marriage between our two families? We can't let an outsider take over our marriage!"
Su Wanqing deliberately emphasized the word "outsider" in an attempt to use this word to anger Shen Mingzhu.
It’s a pity that Shen Mingzhu didn’t take it to heart at all, and even took a sip of tea with some indifference.
Madam Ji was even calmer. "Of course, marriage is a matter of opinion. The idea of parents deciding and matchmakers deciding is outdated. And most people who said this were just joking."
The meaning of this sentence is very clear, which is to say that she cannot make the decision and Ji Ci himself needs to make the decision.
What’s even more interesting is that the sentence following it is directly a disclaimer, and even leaves room for any subsequent remarks made by Ji Ci.
If Ji Ci wants to continue to fulfill his promise, there is no problem of course. But if he is unwilling to admit it, then this verbal agreement is just a joke and should not be taken seriously.
Su Wanqing cursed the old fox in her heart.
He actually took advantage of the loophole like this, but I was of a lower generation and had no way to refute it.
However, Madam Ji’s words were not final. According to her meaning, if Ji Ci admitted this, then there would still be hope.
Anyway, she is an old woman and her words are not reliable, so why not save time and talk to Ji Ci who can make the decision directly?
Save yourself from wasting time talking.
"In that case, I haven't seen Xiao Ci for a long time, so why not ask him to come over and tell me in detail."
"It would be better for our two families to make plans if we sort out some things earlier, right?"
Madam Ji ordered the servants behind her, "Go find the butler and ask the master to come over."
When Su Wanqing saw that Madam Ji acted without hesitation, she suddenly felt infinite hope in her heart.
"I was wondering why these two didn't run away even after I harassed them like that. Turns out they were waiting here!"
Hearing Shen Mingzhu's inner voice, Su Wanqing subconsciously looked at her.
snort! Do you feel a sense of crisis now? Too late!
Ji Ci is a smart man and his choice has basically been made.
She wanted to see what gave Shen Mingzhu the confidence to be so arrogant!
