Zuo Yunshu's father was the Minister of Rites, who happened to be the superior of Sun Wei's father.
Just now, Sun Wei's attention was all on Tian An, and she didn't even notice Zuo Yunshu.
Being reminded by Tian An, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately treated her like a subordinate meeting his superior, fawning and flattering her, without any of the arrogance he had shown when talking to Tian An just now.
Unfortunately, Zuo Yunshu didn't look at her in a good mood at all. He nodded at Tian An and said, "Lord Sun, as the Minister of Rites, should be the one who pays the most attention to etiquette and rules. But Miss Sun has no intention of bowing to you, the Anping Xiangjun personally appointed by the emperor.
"There are indeed some shortcomings in terms of etiquette and rules. I think it's because Master Sun is busy with official duties and has neglected his children's education."
After being told this by Zuo Yunshu, Sun Wei's face suddenly turned ugly.
But before she could open her mouth to argue, she heard Zuo Yunshu continue, "When I get home today, I'll have a good talk with my father and ask him not to overwork Lord Sun. Official duties are important, but we can't slack off at home either. We should still spend more time looking after him."
Sun Wei's face turned pale. Zuo Yunshu said this, doesn't he just want his father to be suspended from work? Wouldn't a suspension last longer?
She suddenly thought of Zhao Qianhua, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
It seems that it was because he had offended Anping Xiangjun at the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and was reported to the emperor by both the Gu and Tian families.
Not only was she confined to her house, but her father was also implicated and suspended from work, and is still sitting at home doing nothing.
A few days ago, she heard that after the new Duke of Zhao returned, Zhao Qianhua and his family were directly driven out of the main courtyard, and even the courtyard was demolished.
She shuddered all over and suddenly woke up.
Her legs went weak and she knelt down to Tian An. "I'm sorry, it was Sun Wei who was rude. Sun Wei knows her mistake. I beg Lord Anping to forgive my mistake. Sun Wei will follow your instructions and never make the same mistake again."
Seeing their young lady kneeling, the two maids behind her also knelt down and pleaded: "Please forgive us this time, my lord. We promise not to do it again in the future."
Seeing Sun Wei being so humble, Jiang Wanmeng angrily stepped forward and tried to pull her up, "Why are you begging her for help? She's just a little country lady, how can she possibly turn the tables?
Zuo Yunshu is just trying to scare you. She has no control over the deployment of court officials."
I have to say that Jiang Wanmeng really sees things clearly. Zuo Yunshu was deliberately trying to scare Sun Wei, but at the same time he was also reminding and warning her that it's not easy to be the first to stick your head out.
Zhao Qianhua has already given her a sample of the fate of being a ghostwriter. If she continues to be stubborn, she will be the next Zhao Qianhua.
Sun Wei was not stupid. She naturally knew that Zuo Yunshu was trying to scare her, but this also made her realize that she couldn't afford to offend any of the people present.
Especially Anping Xiangjun Tian An. Not to mention that her father's official position is higher than her own father's, her own title of Xiangjun alone is enough to make her far superior to many noble ladies in the capital.
Not to mention that she will become the wife of a duke in a few months. I am afraid that even my own mother will not be qualified to stand with her in the future.
I was also confused. After being provoked by Jiang Wanmeng, I foolishly followed her here to find trouble.
Thinking back to when Zhao Qianhua made a fool of herself at the Gu family banquet, Jiang Wanmeng immediately distanced herself from the matter and never said a word to help her.
Not to mention that he went to see Zhao Qianhua once during the days when she was under house arrest.
Thinking of this, she even felt a burst of coldness coming from the hand that Jiang Wanmeng was holding her, making her feel cold all over!
Although the Jiang family has a queen mother to support them, they don't actually have much real power. Although Jiang Wanmeng's father has a title, his official position is not even as high as her father's.
If something really happened to me because of her, even if she was willing to protect me, she might not be able to do so. After all, how could the empress dowager protect the daughter of an unknown minister?
Now that she thought about it, Jiang Wanmeng had never given any tangible benefits to her group of sisters when she was with them in the past. Not only did she only promise them big things, but even when they went out for dinner, it was the sisters who rushed to pay, and she never paid once.
After calmly brushing away Jiang Wanmeng's hand, Sun Wei once again sincerely apologized to Tian An.
Tian An looked at Sun Wei and Jiang Wanmeng silently for a long time, and was sure that Sun Wei had really thought it through. He didn't want to make things difficult for her too much, so he decided to let her go with ease.
She heard Zhao Yiming mention Sun Wei's father, saying that he was a rare good official. Tian An didn't want to involve others because of the personal grudge between him and Jiang Wanmeng, so he forgave her because she turned back in time.
"Get up now. Think more carefully about what you say and do in the future. Don't let others use you as a tool and foolishly count money for others."
She and Jiang Wanmeng had already fallen out in the palace, and now she spoke without mercy to each other.
Seeing that Sun Wei subconsciously stood further away from her, Jiang Wanmeng hurriedly explained, "Don't listen to her nonsense. She just can't stand seeing us doing well and is trying to sow discord between us!"
Unfortunately, Sun Wei had already let it go and didn't buy her tricks at all. She said politely and distantly, "Miss Jiang, you're worrying. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do at home, so I'll take my leave today."
After saying that, no matter how Jiang Wanmeng called her from behind, she walked downstairs with her maid without looking back.
When gods fight, she'd better not be a cannon fodder. If she can't afford to offend her, she can at least hide from her!
Seeing Sun Wei being so ungrateful, Jiang Wanmeng angrily pointed at her back and cursed, "You're just the daughter of a minor official, and you dare to turn your back on me? Just leave! Don't come back crying and beg me again."
Many people in the restaurant were watching the fun, and they all sighed when they saw the situation. The girl was pretty, but her temper was really bad and her heart was not right.
Sun Wei hadn't walked far when she naturally heard what Jiang Wanmeng said.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say I wasn't sad, but I was also very glad that she understood it before it was too late.
After scolding Sun Wei, Jiang Wanmeng turned the gun and pointed it at Tian An like crazy.
"You, a country girl, are unworthy of being the mistress of the Duke's mansion. I advise you to have some self-awareness and call off the engagement yourself, lest you ruin Duke Zhao's future and harm yourself and others."
Tian An sneered: "If I'm not worthy of her, then who is worthy of her, you?
Why? Just because you're so shameless that you throw things at men in the street, and when they refuse to take them, you still rush over eagerly?
I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of an earl would be so eager to become someone's concubine. She is truly a model of noble ladies in the capital!
I just wonder if your parents know that you are so shameless and give yourself up like this? Will they regret giving birth to you?
