Chapter 281: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, Tang Ning calms the situation
"I didn't!" Mrs. Huang's face turned pale. "I just said it casually..."
"You just said it casually, and you want my aunt to bear the consequences?"
Tang Ning's appearance was not aggressive, and was no more competitive than Qian Qiyue's, but at this moment his eyes were particularly sharp.
"Princess Cheng is a thing of the past. Prince Cheng is unfaithful, cruel, and shameless. My aunt has long since severed all ties with him. Seeing him executed without setting off firecrackers to celebrate is a sign of kindness. Who dares to criticize my aunt? If Madam Huang has any complaints, please sympathize with Prince Cheng's plight. If the Huang family wishes to collect Prince Cheng's body, they can go before His Majesty and make their case."
"If your status doesn't bother you, I can have someone speak on behalf of the Huang family. I'll make sure His Majesty and everyone else know how generous Madam Huang is."
Madam Huang's face turned pale. Who was Prince Cheng? He was a traitor personally identified by His Majesty and recently executed. What good would happen to the Huang family if they became associated with him? Moreover, questioning the emperor's orders and disobeying the imperial decree were not something she could bear.
Madam Huang's lips trembled, and she lowered her head quickly: "Please forgive me, Princess Yiyang. I was confused just now and spoke nonsense..."
"Since you've lost your mind, you should stay at home and take good care of yourself. Be careful not to talk nonsense and get yourself into trouble!"
Tang Ning turned his head and said, "Come here, Madam Huang is not feeling well, send her out."
Mrs. Huang's color faded, and everyone around her was shocked.
No one expected that the Princess of Yiyang County would directly "send the guests away".
"Princess Yiyang..."
Mrs. Huang wanted to beg for mercy, but she was kicked out of the Tang Mansion. She would definitely become a laughing stock in the future. What's more, after Tang Ning's words were spread, the entire Huang family would be implicated. She just said it casually, how could it cause such a commotion?
But the people in Tang Mansion didn't give her any chance at all. Hua Wu led the people forward quickly, and stood horizontally to block Madam Huang in the middle.
"Mrs. Huang, please!"
"Princess Yiyang, we are guests..." Someone who had spoken to Madam Huang earlier couldn't help but plead, "Madam Huang just made a slip of the tongue. Why are you making everyone unhappy?"
"You slandered my aunt and still think I made her unhappy? If we weren't in Tang Mansion today, I wouldn't let her leave so easily."
Tang Ning raised his eyes to look at the person who spoke, his eyes stern: "It's not that the Rong family doesn't have people, and this Tang Mansion is not a place for people to run wild. My aunt will never tolerate being insulted. Since this lady can't stand it, then go with Madam Huang. You are not welcome in the Tang Mansion!"
The man who spoke for Mrs. Huang had a frozen expression on his face, and before he could react, he was surrounded by people.
Seeing the servant of the Tang Mansion "escorting" her out, the man immediately became furious: "Princess Yiyang, what Madam Huang said is true. Besides, we are all guests invited by Madam Rongguo. Is this how you treat guests? My mother is the Princess Fengyang, and my husband..."
Her eyes fell on the figure that suddenly appeared outside the pavilion, and her words stopped instantly, and her face turned pale the next moment.
Xiao Yan said calmly: "How is your husband?"
"Lord Xiao..."
The lady shuddered, and when she saw Xiao Yan raise his eyes and say "Hmm?", cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
The pavilion was extremely quiet inside and outside. Tang Ning didn't expect Xiao Yan to come over at this moment. He looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked.
Tang Ning frowned: "They are slandering my aunt."
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Throw it out."
Hang Li, who was following behind, led his men forward. This time, he was not as "gentle" as Tang Ning. Madam Huang and the others were frightened and their faces turned pale, but they dared not say a word to those people with swords. After a while, the two were staggered out of the gate of Tang Mansion, and the maids they brought to the banquet were also "sent" out one after another. Even the gifts they brought when they came were returned by the people of Tang Mansion.
"My daughter said that since you two are not sincere about attending the banquet, please take these things back with you. From now on, the Tang Mansion and the Rong family will not have any dealings with you."
There were many carriages parked outside Jiyun Lane. The servants driving the carriages had not entered and were quite surprised to see the two people being suddenly driven out.
Madam Huang and the others looked extremely unhappy under the gazes of the crowd. Madam Huang turned her head and whispered, "How could Song Tangning be so serious? It was just a few casual remarks, and I have already admitted my mistake, but she actually had us kicked out. Madam Lin, what should we do..."
"Who's following you and us!"
Mrs. Lin was regretting her decision so much at this moment. She looked down on Rong Yue for getting divorced, and was jealous of her for being able to inherit the family property of Prince Cheng and be named Lady Rong. But she definitely had no intention of becoming enemies with Rong Yue.
Not to mention Xiao Yan. She was chased out like this today. It was embarrassing, but how was she going to explain it to her family when she got home?
If Song Tangning and Xiao Yan held a grudge, then she...
Mrs. Lin met the gazes of the people around her and shook off Mrs. Huang's hand: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry and leave!"
Mrs. Huang staggered and was supported by someone, her face turning pale and blue.
…
In the pavilion, seeing Madam Huang and the others being "thrown" out, the people who had previously discussed Madam Rongguo with them were all a little panicked.
Tang Ning did not pursue the others, but said softly: "The ladies came to the mansion for a banquet today, but someone disturbed their mood. It is Tang Ning's fault for not hosting them well. I hope everyone can forgive me."
The originally tense atmosphere in the pavilion eased instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are so polite, Princess Yiyang. The scenery in your mansion is very beautiful. We are very happy to see it."
"Yes, there are few gardens as beautiful as the Tang Mansion in the whole capital. The flowers in the County Lord's Mansion are well-maintained. I was just talking to the ladies about this. I will definitely ask the County Lord for advice and get some flower seedlings to take back."
"Yes, you're welcome, Lady County."
Others echoed and praised him.
Tang Ning smiled gently, without any trace of the coldness from earlier: "I'm glad you all like it. My aunt is still reminiscing with Princess Leyang, so I'm afraid it will take a while before I can greet you all."
"It's hot in the summer. We've prepared ice cups, cold drinks, and some snacks and fruits in the flower hall. The other guests are resting there, so you can go over there and cool off for a while."
Naturally, everyone obeyed. Not to mention that Tang Ning's "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" just now intimidated them, they knew that the Yi Yang County Lady in front of them was not someone to be trifled with. Even if it was Princess Le Yang's identity, they would not seek trouble at this time.
Hua Wu led the ladies to the flower hall. Qian Qiyue winked at Tang Ning, then pulled Madam Zhou Er to go find Madam Qian and the others.
Tang Ning was amused by Qian Qiyue and burst out laughing. He laughed and said, "Brother, why are you here at this time?"
Xiao Yan said, "I'm here to ask you for something."
Tang Ning turned her head: "What?"
"Dragon pattern pendant."
