Unfortunately, they don't appreciate it.
Jiang Wan dreamed that people in the stands around her were constantly pointing and talking at her. Not only did she not stop, she burst into tears, "Why doesn't it count? Why? I was the one who saw Brother Mingyu first."
"Nonsense, the first person you saw was obviously the midwife, then your mother, and then your father. In any case, it couldn't have been me."
Zhao Yiming's cold voice came from behind Tian An. He tried to distance himself from the relationship, as if he was afraid of being blamed.
The people around laughed out loud.
Jiang Wanmeng was speechless. She kept mumbling "you..." for a long time but couldn't make any sense.
In desperation, he could only bring up the Empress Dowager again.
Seeing that she still refused to change despite his kind words of advice, Tian An simply ignored her. After all, it was not her who was embarrassed.
"Miss Jiang, you keep saying that the Queen Mother said this, but when did the Queen Mother say this? Do you have any evidence?
You can't just speak nonsense and slander the Empress Dowager at will!"
She believed that even if the Queen Mother had once considered marrying Jiang Wanmeng to Zhao Yiming, she must have changed her mind now, otherwise there would not have been any movement for such a long time.
Xiao Chen chimed in, "That's right, you've been talking for so long, you should at least provide evidence! Princess Anping and Duke Zhao have an imperial decree granting their marriage from my father, the Emperor. Do you have one from my grandmother, the Empress Dowager?"
Jiang Wanmeng naturally did not have any imperial decree from the Empress Dowager. If she had, she would not have been humiliated by them like this.
Unable to speak, she bit her lip, her face full of tears and stubbornness, and she looked at Zhao Yiming with affection.
It seemed as if this would make Zhao Yiming sympathize with her and change his mind.
Some people in other stands even started to boo:
A notorious playboy called out to Zhao Yiming directly: "Lord Zhao, it's rare for a girl to be so affectionate, and she's also a noble lady from a wealthy family. Why don't you just take her in and enjoy the happiness of having two wives?"
Hahahaha, that man's words caused a burst of laughter.
Jiang Wanmeng, a lady from a noble family, was teased so frivolously by a man, but she was not ashamed at all. Instead, she felt proud and looked at Zhao Yiming with hope.
The young ladies present all sneered at this, and the wives of the various families also frowned.
I couldn't help but sneer inwardly. What about the Empress Dowager's family? Even after a few years of prosperity, they were still just rotten inside.
Zhao Yiming didn't want to be the subject of public discussion, so he said to the man in a cold voice, "My father-in-law once swore in front of his parents and mother-in-law's tablets that he would only marry the Princess of Anping in this life, and that they would be together for the rest of their lives, until they were old.
This blessing of having a wife like Qi should be left to a talented person like you!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanmeng's face turned pale. She looked at Zhao Yiming in disbelief, "Why? She's just a country bumpkin. No matter her family background or talent, how can she compare to me?"
Zhao Yiming looked at her coldly, and his words hit her right in the heart.
"As Miss Jiang said, the Duke of this country is also from the countryside, so I don't think he is worthy of you.
Since you asked me why you are inferior to An An, I will tell you.
From the moment you came here uninvited and started making trouble, you are no match for even a hair of hers."
"Well said!" A clear and slightly childish female voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Chen.
Yaoyao had always been blocked by Xiaokang, Xiaoqi and Xiao Chen behind her, which made her feel really suffocated. After yelling this, she finally felt relieved.
Seeing Jiang Wanmeng's disheartened and ashen face, the playboy suddenly felt pity for her and shouted from a distance:
"Miss Jiang, since Duke Zhao is unromantic, why don't you just follow me? I will definitely..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Wanmeng pointed her gun at him, unleashing her fury without a care in the world. "Who the hell do you think you are? You're so unworthy of wanting to be my lady. You're a toad dreaming of a swan. You're dreaming..."
The playboy was the youngest legitimate son of a side branch of the Xiao family's idle prince family. He was a proud and spoiled boy who was spoiled by his parents at home and complimented by his friends when he went out.
Now that Jiang Wanmeng was pointing at his nose and scolding him, he couldn't save his face for a moment. He didn't care about being gentle with women anymore and just blurted out a bunch of obscene words.
"What about swans? You're the one who's so eager to throw yourself at them, offering yourself to them, and they don't even want you, a piece of junk that they don't want. I gave you a little bit of love, and you opened a dyeing factory? Do you really think you're a lady from a noble family? You're just a poor and down-and-out family for three generations..."
Seeing Jiang Wanmeng being scolded so hard that she forgot to cry, Xiao Chen laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Hahaha, by offending Xiao Hao's big mouth, Jiang Wanmeng has really stirred up a hornet's nest. She will definitely be in big trouble."
Xiao Chen didn't calm down until Gu Jinyan twisted his lower back.
The old princess rushed over to inquire about the situation. Seeing her son's barrage of curses, she slapped him on the back of the head, twisted his ear, and carried him away. "My little ancestor! Why can't you control your mouth?"
Why not curse someone for three generations? Doesn't that mean you're cursing even the current Empress Dowager? Can you curse casually?
"Your father is just an idle prince, how could he withstand your abuse..."
The playboy Xiao Hao was taken away by his own mother. As soon as he left, the liveliness was suddenly reduced by half.
It was so hard to take Tian An out for a day of fun, but now his good mood was ruined by this woman. Zhao Yiming had lost all his patience.
He said to Jiang Wanmeng in a cold voice, "There are too many of us here. Miss Jiang should go back to your own stand! Or I can ask someone to ask Mr. Jiang to come pick you up."
Jiang Wanmeng seemed to want to make a final struggle, looking at him with tears in her eyes: "Brother Mingyu, are you really so heartless?"
Seeing her so stubborn, Zhao Yiming turned around and said, "Jingyu, go and get Mr. Jiang."
"No, I'll go by myself."
Jiang Wanmeng didn't want the maid to help her. She stood up tremblingly, looking back every few steps. If you didn't know her, you would think she was really in love with Zhao Yiming.
Just as she passed by Zhao Yiming and Tian An, her ankle suddenly twisted, her body tilted, and she fell straight towards Zhao Yiming.
Almost subconsciously, Zhao Yiming ignored Jiang Wanmeng, put his arms around Tian An's slender waist, and moved to the side.
Jiang Wanmeng fell directly to the ground without even touching the corner of Zhao Yiming's clothes.
Wei Lingran and Wu Yufei immediately jumped out with an incredulous look on their faces and accused her.
"You are a lady from a famous family after all. You dare to use such a trick. Aren't you afraid of being disliked by the circle of noble ladies?"
"I suddenly felt that Xiao Hao's scolding was too light."
Zhao Yiming suppressed his last bit of anger and said, "Deng Xue, send Miss Jiang back."
Deng Xue had disliked this woman for a long time, so she immediately went forward and pulled her up from the ground as ordered.
Seeing that she still wanted to resist, Yaoyao winked at Hongtong.
Hongtong immediately stepped forward, grabbed her other arm, and carried the person away with Deng Xue.
