Chapter 53 I'm looking for the feeling
However, when Zhuang Wan took the bow and arrow, she also imitated Princess Wu Jing and drew the bow to aim at Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan's soul began to fly again, and she couldn't control the expression of fear on her face.
"Zhuang Wan..." she asked in a trembling voice, "You have to think it through!"
Zhuang Wan blinked innocently: "What else do you want to think about?"
"Oh, do you think I can shoot Ringo?" She said, "Don't worry, I'm not a good archer, so I might not be able to hit you. But I also said, if I kill you, I can only pay you with my own life."
She drew the bowstring and squinted her eyes to test the direction.
"Jingzhe, put Ringo on top of her head, I want to get a feel for it."
Everyone: “…”
It was still a small Ringo, but Jiang Shan felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. Her scalp was numb, her legs and feet were trembling, and sweat began to form on her forehead.
Zhuang Wan was adjusting his direction clumsily, and it seemed that he really didn't know anything about archery.
But she still asked: "Jingzhe, teach me how to shoot an arrow quickly, accurately and fiercely."
Jingzhe nodded and came over to help her adjust her posture: "Girl, stand up straight, with your legs slightly apart, so it will be easier to exert force."
"Here..." She lifted Zhuang Wan's arm. "Hold your arm to shoulder level. Grasp the arrow tightly in your right hand. Aim in the right direction and release it quickly and fiercely."
Jiang Shan's face turned pale, and the ends of her hair were covered in sweat, sticking wetly to her cheeks.
She gasped for breath, fearing that Zhuang Wan's hand would slip and the arrow would fly over and pierce her eyes or ears.
After letting Jingzhe teach her, Zhuang Wan nodded and said, "I understand. I can do it."
Jiang Shan wanted to cry.
How can you do it? Have you learned it?
Seeing Zhuang Wan holding the bow and pulling the arrow with her right arm, she was so scared that her heart beat in her throat and the only sound in her ears was her own heavy breathing.
Her whole mind was on Zhuang Wan's arrowhead. She didn't know what the arrowhead was made of, but it was so sharp and bright.
Suddenly, the arrow flashed with a cold light, causing Jiang Shan to close her eyes suddenly.
"Wow!" She collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
"Ah!" Someone screamed, "Did Jiang Shan get incontinent from being frightened?"
Everyone looked over immediately and saw that the hem of Jiang Shan's emerald green skirt gradually changed color and slowly spread out in clumps.
The ladies were stunned. They never expected that Jiang Shan, who was so arrogant in the past, would be so scared and embarrassed today.
There were also people present who had been bullied by Jiang Shan. Seeing her appearance now, they felt secretly happy.
The legitimate daughter of Marquis Cheng'en is no more than this!
Zhuang Wan watched coldly, then slowly lowered her bow and arrow. She hadn't intended to shoot Ringo in the first place; she simply wanted to teach Jiang Shan a lesson. She hadn't expected her to be so easily frightened.
"Princess Wu Jing," she shrugged, "It seems we can't compete."
Wu Jing frowned and glanced at Jiang Shan, who was slumped on the ground, with disdain: "You really are... a coward!"
"Wow..." Jiang Shan was still crying, her makeup was smudged and her clothes were soaked, she didn't look like a lady at all.
As Zhuang Wan handed the bow and arrow to Jingzhe, she felt a gaze from her side that was hard to ignore. She turned and met the gaze of Liang Yixin, the daughter of the Duke of Xin.
When Liang Yixin saw her looking at him, he looked away indifferently.
The martial arts arena was bustling with activity as everyone watched. Not far away, someone ran over, shouting, "Master Pei is here! Marquis Cheng'en is here!"
Zhuang Wan turned around and saw Pei Xingju striding towards her.
He frowned coldly and stared at Zhuang Wan across the chaotic crowd.
Zhuang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she felt something was wrong.
She seems to have...caused trouble for Pei Xingju again!
.
"What's going on?"
Pei Xingju walked over, glanced at Jiang Shan, who was sitting on the ground crying, and asked Zhuang Wan, "What are you doing here?"
Zhuang Wan was worried: "As you can see, we were competing in archery, but something unpleasant happened."
On the other side, Marquis Cheng'en also hurried over and was furious when he saw his daughter being bullied like this.
"What are you still standing there for!" He shouted at the maid, "Help your young lady go back!"
He was so angry that his nostrils flared and his face turned blue.
Today, they were supposed to be discussing matters at the Ministry of Rites, but they heard that Princess Wu Jing had led everyone to the eastern suburbs for a competition, and her daughter was being used as a target.
He was furious at the time. When he learned that the culprit was the man from Pei Xingju's house, he also disliked Pei Xingju and did not speak to Pei Xingju all the way.
Now, seeing that his daughter had brought such great shame to his Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, he was even more furious.
"Daddy! Help me! Help me kill her!" Jiang Shan saw Marquis Cheng'en coming and shouted like crazy: "I want to kill her! Kill her!"
"Shut up!" Marquis Cheng'en slapped him, "You idiot!"
He cared more about the reputation of his Cheng'en Marquisate than the women's victory or defeat. If she had really been shot to death, he could have praised her courage, but she was frightened by just a test shot.
She made such a big fool of herself in public, she brought shame to the Cheng'en Marquisate!
"Master Pei!" He asked Pei Xingju coldly, "How are you going to explain today's events to me?"
Zhuang Wan was also startled by Lord Jiang's slapping of Jiang Shan. The slap had been quite powerful, leaving Jiang Shan's cheek red and swollen, and the corner of her lip bleeding.
If Marquis Cheng'en brings her to justice, will Pei Xingju...
However, the next moment, she heard Pei Xingju say, "I don't understand what Lord Jiang said. Who instigated today's incident?"
Marquis Cheng'en suppressed his anger and turned to ask, "Can anyone tell me how today's incident happened?"
He glanced at the crowd, but these delicate ladies were all frightened into silence, so how could they dare to stand up and speak?
After a moment of silence, Princess Wu Jing stood up.
"Let me tell you something," she said, "Liang Yixin invited me out today for tea and music, and Miss Jiang and the others came with us."
"Later, Miss Jiang said she saw Zhuang Wan downstairs and suggested inviting her upstairs..." At this point, she said with a hint of disdain, "Originally, I just wanted to see what Zhuang Wan looked like, but Miss Jiang said it wasn't worth it for me, and asked how I couldn't compare to Zhuang Wan."
"Since she said so, I can't let others laugh at me, right? So I came here to compete with Zhuang Wan."
"Princess Wu Jing!" Marquis Cheng'en said in a stern tone, "Even if what you said is true, why did you two involve the people from my Marquis Cheng'en Mansion in your competition?"
"She volunteered," Princess Wu Jing said matter-of-factly. "If she didn't want to, I wouldn't force her. Besides, I'm a very good archer. I shot Ringo, but didn't hurt her at all."
"you--"
Marquis Cheng'en was so angry that his liver ached, but he didn't know how to refute.
He looked at Pei Xingju again and pointed at Zhuang Wan. "Then how will Lord Pei explain why she bullied the people of Cheng'en Marquis Mansion?"
Pei Xingju's face was expressionless: "How does Lord Jiang want to explain?"
"What if I take her life?"
