Chapter 492 Qiao Qinghe, who specializes in exposing people's shortcomings
"You're not allowed to leave! You bumped into me, shouldn't you apologize?"
Su Rongrong frowned slightly. She had already made herself very clear, so why was this woman still so persistent?
Is she not embarrassed enough? Or has this woman become so thick-skinned that she doesn't even know what embarrassment is?
Just then, before Su Rongrong could speak, Jiang Yingluo, who was standing next to Madam Qian, unexpectedly chimed in, "Madam Enping, why don't you apologize to Princess Feng? So many people are watching, why not let this matter drop?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Miss Jiang as if she were a fool.
Ms. Qian couldn't help but frown and glare at her daughter.
She was trying to avoid offending either side, but her daughter, on the contrary, took sides.
Heaven knows, these two people in front of them are people their family can't afford to offend either of them.
If I had to choose between the two, she would definitely be the wife of the Earl of Enping!
After glaring at her daughter, Lady Enping smiled apologetically at Su Rongrong and said, "My daughter is young and ignorant, and speaks without thinking. Please don't be angry, Lady Enping. I will teach her properly later."
Su Rongrong glanced silently at Jiang Yingluo, then nodded slightly to Xiao Qianshi, preparing to let the matter rest. After all, she was a guest in someone else's home, and it wouldn't be appropriate to be too disrespectful to the host.
But Jiang Yingluo seemed to be bewitched, and angrily spoke up again: "Madam Enping, is it so difficult to apologize to Princess Feng?"
"Princess Feng is of noble birth, while you are merely an orphan. Princess Feng is already being very lenient by only asking you to apologize. What are you so arrogant about?"
"Furthermore, you blocked the way for so many distinguished guests, making everyone stand in the cold wind as punishment. Shouldn't you feel guilty and quickly apologize to Princess Feng to settle this matter and allow the distinguished guests to enter the mansion as soon as possible?"
Jiang Yingluo looked at Su Rongrong with disdain. Did an orphan girl with no family background think that just because she married a good man, she could act recklessly and not care about others?
Ha, she wanted to see if the Earl of Enping would still tolerate her if he found out that Su Rongrong was causing trouble and embarrassing him.
Haha, if the Earl of Enping could divorce Su Rongrong because of this...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yingluo subconsciously looked at Feng Yudie.
She saw that Feng Yudie was also looking at her, with a friendly smile in her eyes.
Jiang Yingluo quickly returned the smile.
Two women with ulterior motives thus formed a friendship.
Su Rongrong looked at Madam Qian with a half-smile, "Mrs. Jiang heard what Miss Jiang said, didn't she? Is this the Jiang family's opinion as well?"
Ms. Qian's face turned extremely pale, and she could no longer maintain her fake smile.
Turning around to scold her daughter, Jiang Yingluo grabbed Xiao Qianshi's arm and whispered a few words in her ear.
Ms. Qian first looked surprised, then hesitated, and finally seemed to have made a decision, her expression turning firm.
“Madam, what my daughter said makes sense. So many people are being blocked at the door, it's not right. Why don't you apologize to Princess Feng?”
"No matter what, Princess Feng is the most favored princess of the Shun'an Prince's Mansion. The Feng family is new to the capital, and even the Emperor has given them preferential treatment."
"Please apologize and let this go, just for the sake of the Jiang family."
Xiao Qian still wore a forced smile, but the words she spoke had completely changed their tone.
However, her words were met with approval from many people around her.
Regardless of who is right or wrong, the most important thing is to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
Apologizing is just a matter of saying a few words, it won't hurt you, so why make things difficult for the host?
They've stood there for so long, they've had enough.
Then, some voices of agreement emerged from the crowd.
"Ha, so they're all bullying Lady Enping because she doesn't have a powerful family to back her up?"
Qiao Qinghe walked out of the crowd with a gloomy face, walked to Su Rongrong's side, and her sharp eyes swept over the people around who were asking Su Rongrong to apologize.
The group of people flinched and turned their faces away in unison.
Qiao Qinghe has an outstanding track record. When she gets angry, she doesn't give face to anyone and dares to say anything.
People used to think that she might be able to restrain herself for the sake of the reputation of the Marquis of Xuanping’s mansion, but the facts proved that she didn’t even give face to her own son.
Now that the Xuanping Marquis's mansion is gone, and her own son has been killed by her own actions, who can she possibly fear now?
Bah! Who would dare to run into her trap? That would be suicide!
On the contrary, the Jiang family mother and daughter and Feng Yudie, these outsiders from the capital, knew nothing about Qiao Qinghe's past achievements.
As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss.
No sooner had Qiao Qinghe stepped forward than Madam Qian's smile vanished, and she said in a sarcastic tone, "Madam Min, oh, no. The Min family is gone, and you and the old Marquis of the Min family are divorced. You should be addressed as Madam Qinghe."
"Back when the old lady was in Huizhou, she interfered in the affairs of our Jiang family and tried to sow discord between my mother and me."
"What, are you going to meddle in other people's business again today, interfering in the affairs of our Jiang family?"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
This Mrs. Jiang is truly brave!
Everyone was eagerly waiting to see what would happen.
Qiao Qinghe lived up to everyone's expectations and publicly exposed their shortcomings, saying, "If Mrs. Jiang didn't scheme against the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, how would I have had the opportunity to sow discord between you and your daughter?"
At this point, Qiao Qinghe seemed to suddenly remember something, and said in a shocked tone, "Speaking of which, back then, Mrs. Jiang schemed against Miss Jiang, stealing her marriage to the young master of the Min family for her own daughter..."
"Is this Miss Jiang the Second?" Qiao Qinghe looked at Jiang Yingluo and asked with a surprised expression, "What? The Min family was raided, why didn't you, their granddaughter-in-law, go into exile with them?"
"You're talking nonsense! I have nothing to do with the Min family anymore!" Jiang Yingluo retorted in a panic.
Seeing the amused smiles on everyone's faces, Madam Qian quickly explained, "No, no! It was Hongling who didn't want to get married. After discussions between the two families, they arranged for her to marry someone else."
"No, the marriage alliance was canceled back at the beginning of the year. My daughter has long since severed ties with the Min family! What's wrong with the Min family has absolutely nothing to do with our Jiang family!"
Xiao Qian was already somewhat incoherent, but how could Qiao Qinghe let her off so easily?
She chuckled softly, and said in a surprised tone, "The Min family and the Jiang family are not related? But I seem to remember that the eldest mistress of the Min family is the daughter of Minister Jiang. Where is your sister-in-law, Mrs. Jiang?"
Xiao Qian hurriedly defended herself again, "Our Jiang family has severed ties with her! Many people in Huizhou witnessed this. It's absolutely true!"
Qiao Qinghe smiled and said, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; when disaster strikes, they all fly away. It's only human nature."
Just as Ms. Qian was about to nod, she realized something was wrong.
Sure enough, the people around her covered their mouths and chuckled, looking at her with the same eyes they had looked at their daughter before.
They're treating her like a fool!
Madam Qian wasn't stupid; she realized it by now. No matter how she explained, from the moment Qiao Qinghe exposed the Jiang family's actions in Huizhou, the Jiang family could forget about having a good reputation in the capital.
