Chapter 254 Two Disasters
Ning Cuo saw her eyes shining and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Tu fanned herself charmingly, her eyes narrowed as she smiled, "Look at me, I've made an enemy before we've even met!"
Ning Cuo put his arm around her slender waist and asked, "Oh, how much is it?"
Xiao Tu glanced at him with a beautiful smile on her red lips, "They're all over the floor. You're really something to be hated by others!"
Ning Cuo's wicked smile deepened, and his narrow, beautiful eyes were filled with contempt as he said, "Don't be afraid. No matter how much you hate me, you have to hold it in for me!"
Xiao Tu glared at him with her beautiful eyes, "Bad boy," she said, shaking her maid's fan, and stood up with a lazy smile, "Okay, go and do your thing. I'll go find these people and have some fun, so that everyone won't be too frustrated by you!"
Ning Cuo watched her leave with a charming smile, and then his narrow eyes glanced casually behind him.
The officials of his department were now lowering their heads, waiting as quietly as chickens.
Ning Cuo elegantly placed one hand behind his back, turned around and said calmly, "Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurried to follow.
Xiao Tu was followed by a large group of palace maids, and she walked into the imperial garden leisurely.
When the ladies around saw this, they all avoided and hid away.
Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and with the idea of isolation, no one approached her.
Not far away, the wife of the Left Prime Minister and a group of women were watching this scene with a sneer, secretly proud of what they had done.
So what if she was the wife of a governor, so what if she was a first-rank official in the current dynasty? She was just a newly promoted lady of the imperial court. As long as they used some tricks, it would be a pipe dream for her to integrate into their circle.
After all, who among these noble ladies would not be jealous of the unclean girl from a small family who had married twice and was now so powerful that she could dominate them?
What's more, she is so beautiful and seductive. No matter how you look at her, she looks like a witch who will bring disaster to the country and the people!
The man she married, Governor Ning, who was a disruptor of the government and had the power to cover up the sky with one hand, was simply a pair of disasters!
A group of women were hiding aside and watching the show coldly.
Xiao Tu, who was among the flowers, suddenly looked past the women in the garden and looked at them with a smile on her red lips and eyes.
When the group of people who were watching the joke saw this, their faces froze for a moment, and then they hurriedly looked away as if nothing had happened.
Unexpectedly, the woman smiled at them, then waved her beauty fan and walked straight towards them with her men.
Seeing this, the women couldn't help but look tense and became a little nervous.
Someone frowned and asked anxiously, "Why is she here?"
"That's right. Could it be that she knows that we are instigating everyone to isolate her?"
"Looking at her expression, it seems like she's here with bad intentions. What should we do?"
Everyone spoke nervously, looking towards the wife of the Left Prime Minister.
The latter frowned and said to everyone, "Why are you panicking? Even if she knows, what can she do? She has evidence, so what can she do to us? You guys are just too cowardly. You're so panicked over such a small matter!"
When everyone heard this, they agreed. The ladies ignored her, which was everyone's intention, and it was not their fault.
Besides, their husband's family and Duke Ning were sworn enemies in the court, so they were naturally enemies too, and there was no need to pretend.
Could it be that the Governor, who is in charge of everything in the world, could not possibly care about these little matters of discord among women?
Furthermore, even if the Xiao family's status is superior to theirs, there are so many of them, and they all share the same hatred and enemy. Are they still afraid of her?
The more the women thought about it, the more this made sense, and they immediately felt relieved.
But they were obviously wrong. Xiao Tu came to them not to cause trouble, but to laugh at them.
She just glanced at the people in the yard and found that there were a few women with big breasts. Her eyes lit up instantly. Isn't this coming?
She was about to step forward when a joyful figure ran over with a smile, "Fairy!"
Xiao Tu stopped and looked over with her beautiful eyes, "Princess Duanyang?"
Princess Duanyang came up and grabbed her arm, her face flushed with joy as she said, "Fairy, you're finally here. Duanyang has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Xiao Tu smiled and waved her fan, "Your Highness the Princess, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Princess Duanyang pulled her sleeve, her quiet face blushing as she said, "It's nothing, I just missed you after not seeing you for a few days."
Xiao Tu curled her red lips and said, "If you want to see me in the future, just go to the Governor's Mansion and find me."
Princess Duanyang looked very happy, "Really? Can I go?"
Xiao Tu didn't care. "What's wrong with that? Come if you want me!"
Princess Duanyang's eyes curved with a smile, "It's a deal then. From now on, I'll probably have to visit you more often."
She has heard everything I and Xie Er said. The fairy loves to do good deeds in the capital, and she also wants to follow the fairy to see it!
Seeing the starry eyes she believed in, Xiao Tu smiled and was about to speak, but her keen senses suddenly heard a quarrel not far behind her, and her name was mixed in!
Xiao Tu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, then looked over slowly.
In the flower pavilion not far away.
The wife of the Marquis of Rongchang looked particularly unhappy. She looked at the old wife of the Marquis of Rongchang and her younger sister who was protecting her behind her with both anger and helplessness.
The old marquis' wife glared at the Rongchang Marquis' wife, her tone full of blame, "Your sister just wants to get to know the governor's wife, but you're trying to stop her. What do you want to do?"
Madam Rongchang looked at her mother-in-law and explained, "Mother, I'm doing this for Zi Han's own good. She's still young and outspoken. She just got into an argument with some court ladies. If I don't discipline her, she'll only bring herself into trouble."
The old marquis' wife was furious. "What do you mean it will only bring trouble? Don't think I don't know. Zi Han just told me that she was the one who spoke up for the Dugong's wife. She did it to impress the princess. What was she working so hard for? It was for you, a useless sister, and for more connections for our Rongchang Marquisate. It would be fine if you didn't appreciate it, but instead you blame her. What on earth are you thinking?"
Madam Rongchang frowned and said, "What do you mean, mother? As Zi Han's biological sister, how could I possibly harm her? She wants to make plans for the Marquisate, but she needs to have the ability. Princess Duanyang and Madam Du are just two people. She thinks she can use her cleverness to play tricks on them. She's not doing this for the good of the Marquisate; she's bringing disaster upon it."
Seeing her daughter-in-law dare to lecture her, the old marquis' wife became even more furious. "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is so affectionate, but you're calling it trouble. And you, the wife of the Marquis of Rongchang, never make plans for the Marquisate. You watch your husband, talented but frustrated, yet you don't even consider him. You act like a talented Ji family woman all day long, and yet you haven't laid an egg in years of marriage!"
