"Is she the legitimate daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion? She doesn't seem as vulgar as the rumors say..."

"Hush! She's willing to cancel an engagement on the wedding day. Who knows what kind of person she is!"

The women around who had originally looked at Su Jinyue with curiosity now looked at her with a little strangeness in their eyes.

Hearing their discussions, Su Zhiyao became proud.

So what if Su Jinyue is her biological daughter! Now that she is notorious, everyone will only think that Su Zhiyao is the real noble lady in Shangjing!

"Sister, let me introduce you. This is Miss Jiang, Jiang Qiuse." Su Zhiyao said.

Jiang Qiuse looked at Su Jinyue with disdain, "I've seen her before. At first I thought she was from some low-class family, but later I found out that she was the legitimate daughter of your Ningyuan Marquis Mansion."

She looked at Su Zhiyao and smiled, "She looks much worse than you."

The women nearby also started laughing, and some of them isolated and mocked Su Jinyue who was standing nearby.

"Miss Su grew up in the capital, so her temperament is naturally different from this one. How can she compare with the two of them?"

"Sister Wang is right." The woman next to her did not hide her contempt for Su Jinyue. "We who only know poetry and songs are naturally different from them who grew up doing farm work on the farm."

"It's different from you." Su Jinyue said.

She looked at the woman who was speaking, "If there were no people working on the farm, what would you eat and drink? Can you fill your stomach just by writing poetry and songs?"

Jiang Qiuse snorted coldly, "Don't try to make excuses here! I think you grew up in Zhuangzi and don't understand poetry at all! You are so vulgar yourself, and you come to teach us a lesson!"

"How do you know I can't?"

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "That's right. Judging others by one's own experience is like judging a frog in a well. Miss Jiang herself can't do it, so she probably thinks that others can't do it either."

"You're talking nonsense!" Jiang Qiuse's cheeks turned red when Su Jinyue said she couldn't write poetry in front of so many people. "You said I can't write poetry. Do you dare to compete with me?!"

Su Zhiyao quickly stopped Su Jinyue and said with a look of concern for her, "Sister, no!"

"Don't lose our people in the mansion just because of a fit of anger." Su Zhiyao's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone around to hear, "Sister, you just came back from outside not long ago, how can you know any poetry!"

Jiang Qiuse heard what Su Zhiyao said, looked at Su Jinyue and sneered, "If you don't know, don't embarrass yourself! Apologize to me, and I will let this matter go for the sake of Miss Su Er."

"Yes, sister." Su Zhiyao advised Su Jinyue, "You should apologize, otherwise it will be difficult to end this matter if it gets out of hand. If mother knew, she would probably blame you."

Su Jinyue pretended not to hear Su Zhiyao's words and looked at Jiang Qiuse, "Didn't you say you wanted to compete? What were you competing for?"

Jiang Qiuse snorted coldly: "Since you are eager to embarrass yourself, then I don't have to be polite to you!"

"Since this is a chrysanthemum viewing party, how about we write a poem about chrysanthemums?!"

"Okay." Su Jinyue nodded.

Jiang Qiuse said with determination: "I'll go first!"

"The courtyard is full of chrysanthemums in front of the stage, and the fragrance is so fragrant that butterflies come to it."

This poem expresses a young girl's yearning for blooming flowers, which is very appropriate for the situation.

Everyone's eyes were on Su Jinyue at this moment. Some were disdainful, some were just watching the fun, all waiting to see how Su Jinyue would make a fool of herself.

Jiang Qiuse looked at Su Jinyue, "You continue with the next sentence. If you can't continue, you can admit defeat. It's not that embarrassing!"

Su Jinyue took two steps forward and said without even thinking, "If I become a general someday, I will repay you with thousands of miles of chrysanthemums on the frontier."

…

"puff!"

I don’t know who in the crowd laughed first, but everyone else burst into laughter!

"Hahahahaha, it's so funny that she's a general!"

"She is so arrogant. How can she say such a thing? Do you really know how embarrassing it is for me?"

"I think she is just trying to attract attention!"

Jiang Qiuse laughed sarcastically and said, "Su Jinyue, I just thought you were a person who couldn't stand up to the public, but I didn't expect you to be a lunatic. How could you write such a poem?"

"Do you think it's shameful to have the ambition to serve the country?" Su Jinyue swept a calm gaze over the people present.

Gradually, everyone found it hard to laugh anymore. They couldn't bear the guilt of having such a huge accusation put on them!

Unexpectedly, Su Jinyue would bring this matter up to a high level. Su Zhiyao quickly said, "Sister, they are just talking about you. Why do you have to make such a big fuss about it and embarrass everyone?"

Su Jinyue said: "If you only talk about me, it is also a slap in the face of the Marquisate. You advise me to forget it. Do you not care about the reputation of the Marquisate?"

That's not what she meant at all!

Su Zhiyao's face turned pale, "Sister, how could you misunderstand me like this!"

Jiang Qiuse snorted disdainfully: "It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Do you really think you can write poetry?!"

"Ms. Jiang is better at writing poetry."

Su Jinyue smiled and said to Jiang Qiuse, "However, I still want to remind you that the words in the phrase 'cold fragrance blooms and butterflies come' are a little wrong."

Hearing Su Jinyue's criticism of his poem, Jiang Qiuse immediately became angry and said, "What's wrong with that? What do you know, a country bumpkin?"

"If Han Xiang comes, your butterfly won't be able to come."

Everyone understood the meaning of Su Jinyue's words. How can there be butterflies on a cold day? This word is indeed inappropriate here.

But why did they hear Su Jinyue mention someone's father in her words?

Jiang Qiuse could hear Su Jinyue's indirect criticism, and he was so angry that he rushed over to attack her without hesitation, "How dare you mock my father?!"

Su Jinyue dodged sideways and said with a smile: "I was talking about Butterfly. Why did Miss Jiang pin this incident on your father?"

"You!" Jiang Qiuse was provoked and raised his hand to push Su Jinyue.

"Qiushe! What are you doing!?"

When Madam Jiang and several other ladies came to the Imperial Garden, they saw their daughter about to take action and quickly spoke out to stop her.

"Mother!" Jiang Qiuse ran over to Madam Jiang as soon as she saw her, pointing at Su Jinyue and complaining, "She insulted my father, that's why I took action! Don't blame your daughter!"

"What?" Mrs. Jiang frowned and looked in the direction of Su Jinyue.

Jiang Caiping was also among these ladies. Seeing that Su Jinyue was causing trouble again, she felt a little embarrassed.

Su Zhiyao also went over and took Jiang Caiping's arm to add fuel to the fire, "Mother, I did go a little too far this time, but please don't blame me. This is my first time attending such a banquet, so it's understandable that I made a mistake."

"How can it be excused that she caused such a thing?"

Compared with Su Zhiyao, Jiang Caiping became even more angry!

She said to Madam Jiang, "Don't worry, Madam Jiang, I will definitely teach my daughter a lesson!"

Jiang Caiping walked quickly to Su Jinyue with an angry face, raised her hand and slapped her hard!

Bang!!

"Go apologize to Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang!"
