"You are a good person, you look sensible and well-behaved, unlike my Qingyue, who has gone wild in a short while!"
This was naturally a self-deprecating statement, but Jiang Mingzhi just smiled and replied "yes", as if he didn't understand. Qin was slightly stunned. Shouldn't she also be humble? Why did she just agree like that?
Thinking that Jiang Mingzhi was a fool in the past, she felt relieved. Why should she bother with a fool? Isn't that just looking for trouble?
"I see you guys went up the mountain quite early. You must be hungry. I brought some cakes and snacks here. You can have some." Qin greeted Jiang Mingzhi kindly. The maid beside her took out a snack box and opened it. Inside were various snacks that exuded an enticing and sweet aroma. Jiang Mingzhi took it and thanked Qin.
"Don't worry if you laugh at me, but our girl Qingyue is just a little greedy cat. I always carry this box with me wherever I go!" Qin joked to Feng. As soon as they spoke, Han Qingyue came back.
"mother!"
Han Qingyue was out of breath, her eyes were still red and swollen from crying. As soon as she came back, she threw herself into Qin's arms and acted coquettishly. It was obvious that she was a girl who had been spoiled and pampered since she grew up.
"Oh, girl, you are such a grown-up, why are you still like a child?"
Qin smiled dotingly, reached out and touched her daughter's head, and said to her gently, "You should pay your respects to the wife of the Marquis of Jinyi first. I'll have someone go down the mountain to buy you the bamboo shoot and pork buns and sour plum juice you wanted. They should be here after a short rest."
Han Qingyue had just been wronged, and now she heard her mother's gentle voice and complained coquettishly, "Mom, you don't know what happened to me just now!"
She looked up at Qin, pouting, "We saw the eldest daughter of the Jinyi Marquisate at the temple fair up ahead. You have no idea how vulgar she is. She was eating at a roadside stall with a bunch of low-class people. I said a few words to her, and she humiliated me, saying I had no manners, and even cursed you! I was so angry I wanted to tear her apart! You must stand up for me!"
She recounted what had just happened at the temple fair in a wronged manner, adding fuel to the fire. Of course, she would not mention that she was the one who provoked first. It was all Jiang Mingzhi's fault. It was Jiang Mingzhi who was ungrateful and did not recognize his great talent and was deliberately making things difficult for her!
She was just complaining and speaking so quickly that Qin wanted to interrupt her daughter several times but never got the chance.
After Han Qingyue finished speaking, she noticed that her mother looked very strange. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her mother, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
As he said that, he followed Qin's gaze and saw that Jiang Mingzhi was sitting on a chair on the right side of the dormitory, holding a box of snacks prepared by her mother in her hand, and eating the snacks that were supposed to be hers with a calm mind!
Han Qingyue is about to explode!
She pointed at Jiang Mingzhi and spoke incoherently for a moment: "You, you, you, why are you here!"
It was unclear whether his face was anxious or frightened, it turned red and white, like a big dye vat.
"Qingyue, please don't be rude."
Seeing her daughter acting so aggressively, Qin quickly grabbed her and stopped her from talking nonsense.
Not only she heard what was said just now, but Feng and Jiang Mingzhi also heard every word!
What should she do now? If what her daughter said was true, then Jiang Mingzhi was no pushover. He even dared to bully her daughter. She couldn't just stand by and watch. But on a day like today, she didn't want to have to deal with any complications. Qin was thinking about how to help her daughter end this, when Feng said dryly, "Well, it's really unfortunate. I have some personal matters to attend to. I'll be leaving first."
"Madam Marquis, would you like to sit for a while?" Qin still maintained her usual decent smile and greeted Feng who was getting up to leave.
At this time, Feng Shi could no longer sit still. She wanted to slip away as soon as possible and leave this place of trouble. She would then go back and talk about this matter with that bitch Jiang Mingzhi. She asked why the two sisters had been gone for so long. It turned out that they had gone to the front to cause trouble!
Feng was not a fool. Of course, she knew that she couldn't believe everything Han Qingyue said. But if she could make Jiang Mingzhi suffer a little, then even if Han Qingyue was lying, she would find a way to make it true.
Just thinking of Qin, the wife of the Marquis of Changyuan, Feng felt uncomfortable as if she was being scratched by a cat. Why was she pretending? Although they were both concubines, she was still a marquis's wife. Qin was just a marquis' wife, but she dared to call herself an elder sister in front of her. If Jiang hadn't introduced her today, she would still look like she didn't want to pay attention to her.
Seeing her eldest sister-in-law come back so soon, still with the same look on her face, Jiang couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong? I saw that the second young lady of the Han family just came back, why didn't you say a few more words?"
Feng's face was grim, and she forced a smile. It was obvious that she didn't want to tell Jiang what had just happened at this time. She said vaguely, "Nothing, I just went over to say hello."
Jiang couldn't help but mutter in his heart, no one would believe what you said!
Thinking of what she had discussed with Feng before, Jiang couldn't help but look at Jiang Mingzhi twice more. "Mingzhi, look at you, it's spring now and the flowers are blooming, why are you still wearing such plain clothes? We will pass by Jinxiu Pavilion on our way back later. I will choose two pieces of cloth with better colors for you to make clothes."
Jiang Mingzhi just nodded slightly and didn't say much. She didn't believe that Feng would be kind enough to make her any clothes. Anyway, she would not use anything the Feng family gave her. Let Jiang do whatever she wanted.
She made clothes for someone with good intentions, but the other person seemed indifferent. Jiang felt bored and curled her lips, thinking to herself, when I go to the Feng family, I wonder if you can still be so noble?
The two people were talking here, but Feng seemed not to hear them, and her mind was still thinking about what had just happened.
Jiang Mingzhi, this idiot, must have offended Qin. He is so ungrateful that he actually went to cause trouble for Han Qingyue. How can she use this incident to make Jiang Mingzhi get the greatest punishment?
Wasn't she finding trouble for herself in every possible way? She even brought that old hag into the capital. Now she had made Jiang Mingzhi agree to temporarily live in the Feng family. She would then create some trouble and make Jiang Mingzhi look like a slut entangled with her two nephews. By then, not to mention entering the Feng family, even families with some dignity would never let such a woman in.
她又得罪了这么多人，墙倒众人推，这有仇的报仇，有怨的报怨，到时候锦衣侯府定然是容不下她的，而她已经坏了名声，王家这样的世家素来爱惜羽毛，想必即便是王家太夫人有心相护，也不得不碍着王家其他人的感受，对姜明枝的事情隔岸观火。
到时候，姜明枝要么找个小门小户委身做妾，要么是远嫁几百里，做个平民之妻，那个时候她还如何给自己找麻烦？说不定还要哭着求着来找她，寻求自己的帮助呢！
想到这里，冯氏险些笑出声来，她忽然觉得，自己应该和秦氏多走动才是，有句话怎么说的？敌人的敌人就是朋友不是吗？
