Chapter 15 Zhuang Wan Goes Mad
Jiang Baohe said, "Sister Zhuang usually stays in her boudoir and rarely goes out. I didn't know there was such a beauty as her in the capital. Seeing her today, I am truly amazed."
"You're too kind. It's just a superficial appearance and not worth mentioning."
"Sister Zhuang, please don't say that. Women have always loved beauty, and there are many words praising beauties in classics and historical books. It can be seen that beautiful appearance is extremely rare. Even I feel pleased when I see Sister Zhuang."
"whispering sound!"
At this time someone spoke.
Zhuang Wan and Jiang Baohe both glanced over. The person who spoke was a round-faced young lady who was a little young and therefore not very patient.
She sneered and said bluntly, "Sister Jiang, you have a sister on your left and a sister on your right. If someone didn't know, they would think you and her were real sisters. Have you forgotten who she is now?"
As soon as the words fell, the others laughed, and someone even whispered bluntly: "You are no longer a noble lady. You are a lowly person. How can you be worthy of sitting with us?"
When this was mentioned, everyone thought of Pei Xingju. If it weren't for Pei Xingju's support, Zhuang Wan might be singing for people in the Jiaofang Bureau right now.
"Sister Yi Yao," Jiang Baohe said gently, smiling, "Everyone here today is my cousin's distinguished guest. If you have any opinions, you can ask my cousin."
Luo Yiyao's face turned red from choking, but she kept her mouth shut. After all, she didn't dare to ask Prince Liang in person why he invited Zhuang Wan.
But today, sitting at the same table with Zhuang Wan, she was naturally not convinced.
After being silent for a while, he stood up and walked towards Zhuang Wan.
"I really don't understand," she said, "Why would Lord Pei, such a good man, fall for someone like her?"
This sour vinegar smell is almost enough to pickle vegetables.
Zhuang Wan winked at her charmingly, then pretentiously smoothed the hair by her ear. "I'm also curious, but Yuzhi said he loves me this way."
“…”
Luo Yiyao was so angry that her chest hurt.
Another person couldn't stand it and offered a "kind reminder": "Ms. Zhuang doesn't go out often, so I'm afraid she doesn't know how to live in harmony. It's better not to say too much."
"What did you say?" Zhuang Wan feigned confusion. "Is it the words 'Yuzhi loves me so much'?"
Her pretty face looked extremely innocent: "But I didn't lie, it was the truth."
“…”
The noble lady endured it for a while and finally chose to shut up.
Zhuang Wan spread his hands inwardly.
She had seen many cases of forming cliques and isolating people. The situations in her previous life were much more serious than those of these noble ladies who were reading the female precepts and instructions. Yet, she, Zhuang Wan, could handle them with ease. How could she be afraid of them?
Come and deal with them one by one!
However, there were still those who were not afraid of death. After a pause, a woman in pink stood up.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but Miss Zhuang's behavior is a bit too arrogant. Putting aside the current state of the Zhuang Mansion, shouldn't you be more restrained as you live under someone else's roof? Even if you don't consider Master Pei's reputation, you should at least consider the reputation of your Zhuang Mansion. Master Zhuang's body is still warm, yet you're still flaunting it everywhere. Do you have any sense of shame or conscience?"
What a shameless hat!
"Master Pei's reputation?" Zhuang Wan asked with a smile. "What is Master Pei's reputation? Oh, I remember now. Before the banquet, Yuzhi accompanied me to Jinxiu Pavilion and spent a fortune on two boxes of clothes and jewelry to please me."
She said slowly, "He doesn't mind, so why should you worry about it?"
"you--"
The woman in pink looked unhappy.
After admiring her frustrated yet helpless expression for a while, Zhuang Wan suddenly stood up and walked towards her.
She picked up a teacup from the table and slowly played with it between her fingers: "As for the reputation of my manor..."
I still remember the day when the family was raided. Madam Zhuang stood there in the sunset, looking dejected. She said, "Your father was wrongly accused. Do you believe it? He was a good official."
In fact, she believed it.
She remembered that later in the book, after Pei Xingju brought down the Liang family, he brought up the case again and restored justice to many people, including the Zhuang family.
It can be seen that Lord Zhuang was framed.
These noble ladies present were on good terms with the Liang family, and perhaps their fathers and brothers in the court had been accomplices in framing the Zhuang family.
These people cannot distinguish right from wrong, have no fear of conscience, and enjoy the power that their fathers and brothers obtained through dirty means and pretend to be noble.
Zhuang Wan sneered and suddenly threw the teacup at the woman in pink.
"You are not worthy to mention my dead father!"
The unexpected change came unexpectedly, and the whole audience fell silent in an instant.
The woman in pink was splashed with tea in her face. She was stunned for a moment and then screamed.
"Zhuang Wan, you bitch!"
She suddenly lunged towards Zhuang Wan, who happened to be behind a railing. Caught off guard, they both fell into the lake.
The pleasure boat was in chaos.
