Chapter 255 You have good taste~
Upon hearing this, Madam Rongchang's face turned pale and she staggered back. The maid behind her hurried to help her, and she finally managed to stand steady.
Seeing this, the old marquis' wife looked at her with disdain and said, "Well, I've hit you right where it hurts. You're useless, yet you still look down on Zi Han. You really don't know what you're talking about!"
Ji Zihan, who had been hiding behind the old marquis' wife, popped her head out and said, "Old Madam, please stop saying that. My sister didn't mean to anger you. She just doesn't understand Zihan's feelings for the time being. Please be magnanimous and stop blaming her!"
Upon hearing this, the old marquis' wife stared at Madam Yongchang and snorted coldly, "It's not that she doesn't understand, she's just used to pretending to be noble. As the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, a noble family in Quanzhou, she's so arrogant. Naturally, she looks down on vulgar people like us who work so hard for our family!"
Ji Zihan hurriedly shook the old lady's sleeve and said, "Old lady, you are too serious. Sister definitely didn't mean that. As the mistress of the Rongchang Marquis' Mansion, she naturally has plans for our mansion. She just didn't think clearly just now. Now that she has listened to your teachings, she has realized her mistakes. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask Sister?"
As she spoke, Ji Zihan smiled and winked at Madam Rongchang.
Mrs. Rongchang, who looked pale, did not react at all when she saw this.
She looked at her sister calmly. It was not that she didn't understand why her sister was using such despicable means to instigate others, but it was just too difficult for her to understand!
Her mother-in-law was sarcastic, stupid, shallow, and always picky and disgusted with her. She knew it in her heart, but Ji Zihan was a member of the Ji family and her own sister. In order to stay in the capital and enjoy wealth and glory, she actually joined forces with her mother-in-law to coerce her. She was really disappointed!
The old marquis' wife was waiting for Madam Rongchang to admit her mistake, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't react at all. Suddenly, her nose was crooked with anger and she said, "Ji Ziyuan, you are too presumptuous. Is this how you treat me as your mother-in-law? I'm warning you, you'd better listen to Zi Han's words now, otherwise I will tell my son that you are disobedient and unfilial when we return to the mansion."
Mrs. Rongchang's expression darkened when she heard this. Thinking of her husband's gentle appearance, she didn't want him to be caught in the middle.
Seeing that she didn't dare to resist, the old marquis' wife snorted immediately, then turned to Ji Zihan and said gently, "Do whatever you want. Your sister is familiar with Princess Duanyang anyway. She can help you speak well of her later. She will definitely help you leave a good impression in front of these nobles."
Ji Zihan glanced at the silent Madam Rongchang, a look of success flashed in her eyes, and then she said to the old marquis' wife with a smile on her face, "Thank you for planning for me, Madam. I will not let you down for cultivating me."
The old marquis's wife nodded in satisfaction. "Go ahead. No one is interested in the Dugong's wife right now. This is your chance. Also, remember to tell her about how you just stood up for her so she'll remember your kindness!"
Ji Zihan said obediently, "Don't worry, old lady, I know everything."
After that, she smiled and walked to Madam Yongchang, then took her hand affectionately and said, "Sister, let's go!"
Under the stares and urging of the old marquis' wife and Ji Zihan, Mrs. Rongchang finally took a step forward.
Xiao Tu didn't know that her identity had already been coveted by others. She felt that someone was talking about her, so she turned her head to look over.
In the pavilion in the distance, I saw a gentle and dignified beauty, who seemed to be being criticized.
She couldn't hear what the other person was saying because the distance was too far, but in her sight, a wonderful melon appeared above the beauty's head, which made her dazzled.
It was actually more interesting than the melons of the group of women she had just looked at, so she immediately gave up on this group of people and went straight for this big melon.
As luck would have it, the other party actually took the initiative to walk towards her!
Madam Rongchang was dragged here by Ji Zihuan. Looking at the woman surrounded by people in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Ji Zihan couldn't wait to step forward and said, "Your Highness, you are here. My sister and I have been looking for you for a long time." As she spoke, her eyes moved to Xiao Tu and said, "I wonder who this noble person is?"
Xiao Tu, the leader, smiled. Ji Zihan's eyes lit up immediately. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the woman walk past her and walk in front of Madam Rongchang. She looked at her with her red lips curled and asked, "Who is this Madam?"
Princess Duanyang smiled and said, "This wife of the Marquis of Rongchang is named Ziyuan. She used to be my good friend."
Xiao Tu raised her beautiful eyes when she heard this, "A close friend?"
She looked the beautiful woman up and down, and smiled, half covering her red lips with her round fan. They were indeed good friends, as they had such similar misfortunes!
Mrs. Rongchang forced a smile at this moment, bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Madam Dugong."
Seeing this, Xiao Tu immediately raised her hand to help her, "Madam Rongchang, there's no need to be so polite!"
Mrs. Rongchang was filled with surprise when she saw this. She didn't expect that the wife of the governor would be so enthusiastic towards her!
Xiao Tu, who was eager to see all kinds of fun, looked at Madam Yongchang with a smile and said, "Madam, are you free to chat?"
Mrs. Rongchang was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "I'm free!"
Ji Zihan's smile froze on the side. Even though she came up to greet him so enthusiastically, the other party had no interest in even looking at her. Instead, he was very fond of her, the sister with a bitter face.
How could she accept this? It was clearly her who spoke up for the other party and offended a group of ladies. The other party should be grateful to her for being friendly.
The more Ji Zihan thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. She immediately stuck to Madam Yongchang, blocking her and standing in front of Xiao Tu. She said in a sweet voice, "Sister, are you the Dugong's wife?"
Xiao Tu was about to eat Madam Rongchang's big melon. Upon hearing this, she looked at Ji Zihan, who was clinging to the melon and looking at her with admiration, and raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't call me sister. You should be older than me."
Ji Zihan choked with a sweet smile. How did the other party know she was old when she was dressed so youthfully?
Ji Zihan froze for a moment, then said with embarrassment, "Madam Dugong, you are so beautiful. From the time I was born till now, I have never seen a woman as stunningly beautiful as you."
When Xiao Tu heard people praising her, she immediately curled her red lips and smiled, "You have good taste, don't you? A beauty like me who is once in this world is really not something you can compare to."
Ji Zihan's face darkened, but she refused to give up and continued to flatter him, "Madam is obviously a beautiful and kind-hearted woman. It is my honor to meet you, Madam."
Xiao Tu waved her round fan, her red lips curled up proudly, "You can see that I have a kind heart. Yes, although you are stupid and ignorant, and you are ugly, you still have good taste!"
Ji Zihan, "......"
