Chapter 321 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Unexpectedly, enemies often meet in a narrow road. After strolling in the garden for a while, I saw the wife of Young Master Yan and two or three of her close friends.
The Third Young Master Yan and his wife, Madam Yan, had both lost face at the hunting grounds last time, suffering both overt and covert losses. Madam Yan, in particular, had suffered repeated setbacks, leaving her completely humiliated.
Today, she wanted to witness Zhao Liya and the Zhao family's misfortune, but she also didn't want to go to the house formally and face the strange looks and indignant ridicule. So, she deliberately arrived a little late and didn't go to the flower hall. She only sent a housekeeper to greet Madam Lin and then went straight to the garden.
Everyone's eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation.
Who doesn't love gossip? As long as you're not involved in it, you'll still be filled with anticipation and enjoy watching it!
Madam Yan Sanshao had prepared herself mentally before coming here, and she felt she could keep her emotions under control. However, when she saw Zhao Liya, she couldn't help but change her expression, and her anger surged.
If it weren't for Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng, she wouldn't have been ridiculed and humiliated! Her husband wouldn't have brought back such a troublesome vixen from the brothel.
All of this was brought about by Zhao Liya!
However, today she will let her taste the feeling of being ridiculed!
"Mrs. Third Young Master Yan!"
"Hello, Madam Third Young Master!"
The two young ladies of the Lin family came forward with a smile to greet the wife of Young Master Yan, and everyone else also came forward with a smile to greet them.
Although Young Master Yan's wife had lost face, and although no one knew how people would laugh at her behind her back, they still praised and flattered her in public, vying with each other.
Just because she is the young lady of the Yan family.
The wife of Young Master Yan became somewhat complacent again and even glanced at Zhao Liya deliberately.
What is Zhao Liya? Look, these people are not blind, they know who to please and flatter.
Everyone rushed forward to flatter and curry favor. Even if there were a few who actually disagreed in their hearts, they still came forward and greeted him with a smile in a meaningful way in order to appear less out of place.
Zhao Liya and Chunfen, the master and servant, who failed to squeeze through, seemed a little out of place.
After a lot of excitement, Mrs. Yan Sanshao looked towards Zhao Liya.
Everyone stopped laughing at once.
Zhao Liya smiled at Third Young Master Yan's wife, nodded slightly, and called her "Third Young Master Yan's wife!" Then she whispered to Miss Lin, "Miss Lin's garden is very unique. I want to go somewhere else to take a look. Is that okay?"
She didn't want to be with Young Master Yan's wife; she was definitely up to no good. The two people accompanying her were even more hostile, their eyes bulging with rage. However, she had never even met them! She had no idea where this deep hatred came from.
The Lin sisters were stunned. If Zhao Liya wanted to go shopping, they would certainly not refuse.
The Second Miss Lin was about to speak when she heard the green-dressed girl next to Third Young Master Yan's wife sneer, "You really have no manners at all! Everyone's all together, yet you, master and servant, want to go for a walk on your own? What's the matter? Are you embarrassed to be with us all?"
Another young woman, also standing beside Third Young Master Yan's wife and wearing a light purple dress, immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Don't you consider your own status? My Third Sister-in-law is here, and she doesn't even bother to greet her. Is this how the Zhao family educates Miss Zhao? The Zhao family's upbringing is truly questionable!"
The two of them were full of malice, covering their mouths and giggling as they spoke, as if they wanted to have the words "I'm just looking for trouble on purpose" written on their faces.
Some of the girls and young ladies had gleaming eyes and looked gloating, some joined in the fun and covered their mouths and giggled quietly, and some looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with them.
Madam Yan Sanshao had a smile on her lips and looked at Zhao Liya leisurely and contentedly, obviously not intending to speak.
Zhao Liya: “.”
Since you brought it to her, don't blame her for being rude.
Zhao Liya walked slowly forward with Chunfen and stopped in front of the two girls. She slowly glanced at them and smiled brightly, "What are your names, ladies?"
The two sisters exchanged a glance, and the girl in green snorted, "You've been in Lingnan for so many years, no wonder you don't recognize us. We are all daughters of the Yan family!"
"Oh!" Zhao Liya asked with a smile, "There must be quite a few young ladies in the Yan family, both legitimate and illegitimate, right? Honestly, I'm a bit ignorant, and I really don't know many of them. Why don't you two explain your identities in more detail?"
The two of them paused slightly.
Zhao Liya continued, "Is there anything wrong with you two?"
"You——"
What's so difficult about this? It's just embarrassing.
In fact, they were concubines' daughters, and almost everyone present knew it. It shouldn't matter. After all, there were more concubines' daughters present. However, being told so by Zhao Liya made her feel extremely embarrassed.
All the legitimate daughters present laughed out loud with their hands covering their mouths.
They didn't like Zhao Liya, but they disliked their illegitimate sisters even more. They thought Zhao Liya's words were very pleasant to hear.
Zhao Liya saw them glaring at each other in frustration, and she understood everything. They were all concubines' daughters, not very smart, not very favored, and very suitable to be used as cannon fodder.
No wonder she is trying so hard to make things difficult for me. Otherwise, how can I please my sister-in-law, Mrs. Yan Sanshao?
Zhao Liya didn't like the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and never thought there was anything wrong with a person's birth. However, since someone was willing to be used as a pawn and even came to disgust her, she certainly wouldn't show any mercy.
She laughed, "Haha!" and glanced at the two of them again, "Can't say it? Well, actually, I already understand. You don't have to say it!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"whee!"
All the daughters of the emperor burst into laughter.
The two girls - the fourth and fifth daughters of the Yan family - were so embarrassed that their faces turned red and white.
At this moment, even if they wanted to say something, it would not be appropriate.
How can I even start this?
Madam Yan Sanshao's face also darkened slightly, secretly cursing these two idiots for being useless.
Someone kindly told Zhao Liya, "This is the fourth daughter of the Yan family, and this one is the fifth daughter. One is from the second wife's house, and the other is from the third wife's house."
Zhao Liya showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "I see, that's how it is. Thank you for your kindness in telling me!"
Turning to look at Miss Yan Fourth and Miss Yan Fifth, Zhao Liya's expression turned cold and she said icily, "It seems that no matter what, it's not the turn of Miss Yan Fourth and Miss Yan Fifth to question the quality of our Zhao family's upbringing, right? You two are truly the best upbringing members of the Yan family. It really opened my eyes!"
Miss Yan Si and Miss Yan Wu's faces changed.
They are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and are born out of wedlock. How dare they question the Zhao family's upbringing? They are truly arrogant!
