Chapter 252 Making a Fuss
Xiao Tu couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and punched the man with her fists. "Hate you! Even though I'm incredibly beautiful, you can't be so obsessed with me. If others knew, they would say you're obsessed with women!"
Ning Cuo said without fear, "Let them say whatever they want. I can't help but feel for you!"
Xiao Tu was laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter. She kissed the man hard on the face and then ran away smiling!
Ning Cuo smiled lovingly as he watched her leave before looking away.
Then he discovered that Xiao Lezi beside him was looking at him in amazement.
Ning Cuo glanced at him with charming eyes, "Does it look good?"
Xiao Lezi came back to his senses with a start and quickly said, "Forgive me, my lord, I was just shocked by you!"
Ning Cuo smiled when he heard this and said indifferently, "What a fuss!"
Xiao Lezi touched his nose and glanced at his master quietly. Was he making a fuss out of nothing?
It’s obviously a man’s operation that’s amazing!
He saw it clearly just now. The female mistress was obviously trying to do something bad and pick a fight with their family's head, but after their head's action, the female mistress happily ran away!
Could this be the fundamental reason Du Gong always talked about, why he had a wife but they didn't?
Xiao Lezi was thinking absentmindedly and didn't notice the lazy and evil-looking man in front of him. In fact, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough just now. Ning Cuo felt relieved and continued to read the memorial.
Xiao Tu was humming a little tune as she moved among the gorgeous clothes and jewelry.
After all, it was her first time entering the palace, and she had to meet all the officials and ladies. As the wife of the state and the princess of Ning Cuo, she naturally had to behave in a dignified manner!
Jokhang Palace.
At this moment, many officials had arrived with their families. The banquet had not yet begun, and everyone was scattered around the imperial garden.
Today's theme is to enjoy the spring scenery. Naturally, this place has been carefully decorated early on, with countless rare and exotic flowers. Even those who are a little unhappy will find it pleasing to the eye!
Princess Duanyang and her group were strolling among the peony flowers, admiring the flowers with a smile and chatting about family matters.
Ji Zihan followed a group of people, but her expression was not very good.
Her eldest sister, Madam Rongchang, didn't allow her to run around, so she was naturally unhappy. She wanted to build relationships with these people, but they didn't pay any attention to her at all.
But Ji Zihan was not ready to give up. Just as she was thinking about how to attract attention, she heard a discordant laughter coming from not far away.
She looked back and saw several women in luxurious clothes gathered together not far away, talking and laughing at each other.
Ji Zihan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he quietly moved over while no one was paying attention.
Then she heard this group of women actually mocking today's protagonist, the wife of Governor Ning!
This made her eyes light up immediately and she listened carefully.
Someone yelled, "It's almost noon, and they haven't shown up yet. They're really putting on so much airs!"
"Madam Shilang, please don't say that. I'm a first-rank lady, so naturally I have to appear last."
"How can she be considered a first-class person? She comes from a humble family, has no merits, no virtues, and nothing to show for it. She just relied on men to climb to the top."
The women laughed and said, "Sisters, don't say that. That's also my ability."
"I heard they're living together before they even got married!"
"real?"
"Indeed, as expected of someone from a humble family, he truly cares about propriety, righteousness, and integrity."
When Ji Zihan heard this, she immediately felt that her chance had come. She immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Shut up, all of you! How dare you openly gather together to slander the Du Gong's wife? Are you guys going to die?"
Princess Duanyang and her entourage in front, as well as the mocking ladies, all looked towards her upon hearing her words.
Among the women, one immediately warned, "Whose family are you from? How dare you scold the ladies of the Imperial Court? It's simply rude and presumptuous."
Ji Zihan was startled at first, but looking at Princess Duanyang approaching from behind, she steeled herself again and said, "You are being presumptuous. I just heard it with my own ears. You deliberately mocked the Governor's wife. Aren't you afraid that this will get to Governor Ning's ears? Do you think you women will be in trouble?"
When the ladies heard the name of Governor Ning, their expressions changed.
Ning Ze and the others couldn't afford to offend him, otherwise they wouldn't have been forced to come here with their husbands. They were also angry about this matter and couldn't help but mock Xiao in private just now. But they didn't expect that someone would catch them and directly threaten to report them to Ning Ze?
Everyone felt that they were just upset and said a few words, which was just a trivial matter, but if they made it public, they would be held accountable and their husbands might even be implicated!
The group of people looked extremely unhappy just thinking about it, secretly hating this blind girl who didn't know where she came from and how she dared to be so arrogant and presumptuous!
Seeing that they were silent, Ji Zihan immediately became arrogant, "Why, are you scared? You dare to mock the wife of the Governor, you really don't fear death at all."
The ladies were all furious when they heard this. The Left Prime Minister's wife said with a sullen face, "I think you are not afraid of death, young lady. Which family are you from? Why don't you tell me your name?"
Ji Zihan was a little frightened by her gloomy gaze, and immediately ran behind Madam Rongchang and hid herself.
Madam Rongchang frowned upon seeing this, but then she said, "This is my younger sister Zihan. She is still young and has a naughty personality. Please forgive me, ladies."
The Left Prime Minister's wife stared at her and said, "So you are the wife of the Marquis of Rongchang. Since you know your sister has a bad temper, you shouldn't bring her out to cause trouble, and avoid embarrassing yourself by speaking without restraint!"
Ji Zihan emerged from behind Madam Rongchang, her face filled with anger as she said, "Who are you calling shameless? It was you who mocked Madam Dugong first, and I couldn't stand it, so I couldn't help but speak up for her."
The Left Prime Minister's wife raised her neck and said, "When have we ever ridiculed the Governor's wife? You have no evidence, so don't make such nonsense."
Ji Zihan glared and said, "What do you mean by that? I heard it with my own ears. Are you trying to deny it now?"
The Left Prime Minister's wife sneered, "Why don't you tell us everything you heard, and see if we can name anyone?
Or is it that you yourself think that the Dugong wife is the one I spoke shamelessly about with the other ladies, and that’s why you are so eager to identify yourself with her?”
Ji Zihan was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't mean that, it was obviously you..."
Princess Duanyang had already stepped forward. She frowned and glanced at both sides, then said to Ji Zihan, "Enough!"
Seeing the other party's warning gaze, Ji Zihan timidly hid behind Madam Rongchang again.
