However, she did not consider that although she was a noble, she was in someone else's house at this moment, so what qualifications did she have to act like the master of the house.
Chen Yalan could also see that her father wanted to be tolerant, but she didn't want her father, at his age, to tolerate a young woman because of his status.
Moreover, she was the emperor's woman and naturally had the status to fight with Xu Chuchu, so she did not care about much else and stood up as the host and ordered Xu Chuchu to leave.
Xu Chuchu thinks she is a noble person and thinks she is in charge, but Chen Yalan knows that her father defends the country and she doesn't want her father to be humiliated by such a woman.
"What do you mean? Is this how you treat guests? Is this how you treat your guests?" Xu Chuchu asked Chen Yalan with an ugly expression.
Several people who were close to Xu Chuchu had long been watching her every move. When they saw Chen Yalan stand up and try to drive her away, they were all very impressed.
"We in the general's mansion naturally have our own way of entertaining guests, but we have never seen a guest as picky as Concubine Xu, so I'm afraid we can't entertain her. So we can only ask you to leave." After hearing what Xu Chuchu said, Chen Yalan was not angry, but asked her to leave more directly.
Everyone had noticed the actions here a long time ago, and when they heard Chen Yalan's straightforward words, they were all slightly surprised. They didn't expect that Chen Yalan would be so disrespectful to Concubine Xu.
However, they also looked down upon what Xu Chuchu had done, so at this moment not only did no one speak up for Xu Chuchu, but instead they were looking forward to what would happen next.
"You, you, are going too far. It's just a lousy celebration banquet. What's so great about it? Do you think I'm willing to come?" Chen Yalan's words made Xu Chuchu very angry, so she immediately stood up and left, swinging her sleeves.
Seeing his daughter being chased away, the Minister of Rites felt a little embarrassed, so he also said: "Since the general's mansion does not welcome us father and daughter, then we will take our leave first."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
In fact, even if no one spoke at this moment, he didn't have the face to stay here any longer. His own daughter, who was a noble, could be driven away. Wouldn't it be a disgrace for him to stay here?
With the departure of the Minister of Rites, the dinner became a little quiet for a while. After all, no one wanted to see someone suddenly being kicked out of the banquet. Some people didn't know what had happened and even felt that Chen Yalan was ignorant of etiquette.
Seeing that there was no need to continue the banquet, Chen Yalan saw that these people had almost finished eating, so she spoke up to end the dinner.
The next day.
Chen Yalan had not been in the capital for a long time, so when she had the chance, she was dragged out shopping by her maid.
"Miss, you haven't been to the capital for a long time. I'm sure you miss it. Let me accompany you for a walk!" Meng Lan said with a smile.
Thinking of someone, Chen Yalan felt that she should go to the street to buy some things to give to that person, so Chen Yalan did not refuse.
In this way, the master and the servant left the general's mansion and came to the street.
"Miss, look, this hairpin is so beautiful."
“If you like it, buy it.”
"Ah, miss, this bun smells so good!"
"Didn't you just eat?"
The master and the servant walked along the street, talking to each other, and it was obvious that they were very close to each other.
However, this joy did not last long. Just as the two continued to stroll, they heard some unpleasant discussions coming from the side.
"Oh, you know General Chen Yi, right?"
"I know. Even General Chen Yi doesn't know. Is he still a citizen of this country?"
"You don't know, but he actually has a daughter. I heard that his daughter is extremely fierce."
"Is this true? No way, is his daughter really that vicious?"
"Let it be. I heard from others that General Chen Yi fought on the battlefield and never raised his daughter as a daughter since she was a child. That's why his daughter is very fierce."
"You have some truth in what you said."
When Meng Lan heard these words, her face suddenly turned ugly.
"Miss, how can they say that? They have never seen you, for example, how can you say you are fierce?" Meng Lan was so angry that she was about to go up and argue with those people.
I don’t know what’s going on in these people’s minds. They actually say that their young lady is fierce. Although their young lady was indeed raised as a boy, she doesn’t look fierce at all.
Especially since these people knew nothing but were talking nonsense here. I don't know what gossip they had heard. If she knew what was going on, she would definitely break that person's legs.
However, she had only taken two steps when someone pulled her arm away. She turned around and saw that it was her young lady. She was a little confused: "Young lady?"
"Why are you so angry?" Chen Yalan pulled Meng Lan's arm and stopped her, "It's just some gossip. Let them say whatever they want. It won't make me lose a piece of meat."
Meng Lan was somewhat unhappy about her young lady's behavior: "But, young lady, how can a woman's reputation be slandered like this?"
She couldn't understand why. Even if her young lady didn't care about her reputation, she couldn't just let these people frame her.
However, Chen Yalan was very open-minded about this matter. Not only was she not angry, but she comforted Meng Lan: "Those who know my heart say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say that I have no worries. People like them do not understand me, so why should I ask them to praise me? At this time, they just heard rumors from others and thought I was a fierce person. But if they get to know me, these rumors will naturally be refuted. But if you rush over and argue with them, what will be the consequences?"
Hearing her young lady say this, Meng Lan gradually calmed down. Yes, just like the young lady said, rumors stop at the wise. If she suddenly rushed over like this, pointing fingers and cursing at those people, then her young lady's reputation as a fierce person would be confirmed.
Thinking about how she almost ruined her young lady's reputation because of her impulsiveness, Meng Lan said to her with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, young lady. I didn't think about it enough and almost hurt you."
Chen Yalan just smiled slightly: "It's okay, I know you did it all for me, so you acted impulsively."
