"Liao Xianxian, what are you doing? Come back quickly! I asked you to comb my hair, didn't you hear me?"
Jiang Yuyao angrily lifted the car curtain, but found that she could not call Liao Xianxian back at all, so she simply got out of the car and grabbed her beside the bushes.
After Liao Xianxian jumped out of the car, she wanted only to run to the bushes, using the cover of the plants to relieve the discomfort caused by motion sickness. Victory was in sight, and she only needed to take one more step to relieve the nausea. However, the appearance of Jiang Yuyao shattered her hopes.
She wanted to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the feeling of nausea flooded out like a flood, making her unable to control herself.
"What? Now even you start to look down on me?" Jiang Yuyao tightly grasped her clothes, with anger flashing in her eyes.
"vomit--"
However, what responded to her was Liao Xianxian's violent vomiting.
The vomit was like a dirty waterfall, splashing all over Jiang Yuyao's pink and white Liuxian skirt, and the fishy smell instantly spread.
Jiang Yuyao felt as if she were frozen in place, frozen in shock. She lowered her head and saw that her once pure, snow-white bra was now stained with large yellow stains. The sticky, wet feeling made her feel extremely disgusted and nauseous.
"Liao Xianxian, I will never let you go!"
Jiang Yuyao's emotions were on the verge of collapse. She raised her hand angrily and slapped Liao Xianxian hard.
Liao Xianxian felt as if her head was hit by a heavy hammer, buzzing, her mouth was filled with bitterness, a fishy-sweet taste spread on the tip of her tongue, and blood gradually overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
Half of her cheek seemed to have lost sensation, and for a moment she could not feel any pain. Facing Jiang Yuyao's gaze that seemed to devour her, Liao Xianxian felt both aggrieved and terrified. "Yuyao, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do this. I was so uncomfortable just now that I couldn't bear it anymore, so I wanted to find a place to vomit, but you insisted on holding me. I'll help you clean up right away. There are clean clothes in the carriage. I'll help you change immediately..."
"Get out of my way!"
Jiang Yuyao felt disgusted by every word Liao Xianxian said. If she had a teacup at hand, she would smash it at Liao Xianxian without hesitation, leaving her with a bleeding head and unable to turn over.
Jiang Yuyao felt extremely ashamed at this moment, and she longed to return to the carriage and change her clothes immediately. However, the moment she turned around, her eyes caught the figures of the Fourth Prince and Su Sheng who had just dismounted from their horses.
Behind them came a group of bright-eyed, splendidly dressed young men from aristocratic families, as well as teenagers dressed in the uniforms of students from the White Egret Academy. Her eldest and second brothers were among them.
Obviously, they all calculated the time carefully, waiting for the carriages of the ladies from each mansion to arrive at the princess's mansion before riding together to attend the banquet and appreciate the flowers.
Jiang Yuyao's heartbeat quickened, as rapid as the beat of a drum.
How embarrassing it would be if she appeared in front of the Fourth Prince, Su Sheng and others in her current state!
She had to return to the carriage immediately to tidy up, but when she looked again, she found that her carriage was not far away from the Fourth Prince and his entourage.
If she ran over directly, as long as they still had their eyesight, they would definitely notice it!
Jiang Yuyao's heart was filled with despair. At this moment, her resentment towards Liao Xianxian surged like a tide, and she was even more angry at Jiang Songyi for forcing Liao Xianxian on her.
In a hurry, she suddenly had an idea. She covered her face with her wide sleeves and ran towards her carriage, completely disregarding her usual demeanor. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, her jewelry jingled, and the messy sound echoed in the air.
Liao Xianxian followed closely behind.
Jiang Yuyao hurriedly covered her face and walked past. Her behavior seemed extremely strange. As expected, this scene immediately attracted the attention of the Fourth Prince Xinyi Zigu and his entourage.
Yu Huanshen gently waved his gold-sprinkled folding fan. His eyes caught sight of a figure, and he frowned slightly, a hint of disdain visible. He tilted his head with a hint of disdain and asked Su Sheng beside him, "Brother Su, who is that beautiful lady? Her movements are as unsteady as a duck's. Judging by her gorgeous skirt, she looks like a lady attending your palace's peony banquet. Yet, her manners are so crude and vulgar that they completely detract from the elegance of the event."
He prided himself on being a refined and elegant young man of wealth and status, pursuing elegance and refinement, and favoring those peerless beauties with profound knowledge and elegant temperament.
Su Sheng felt that Yu Huanshen was picky to the point of being harsh. He would find fault with any beautiful painting or calligraphy, and this time he even dared to criticize his mother's taste in the banquet?
Su Sheng naturally wanted to defend his mother's reputation. "My mother always likes to host grand banquets, and she invites guests from all over. All the dukes and earls in Jindu City are invited, and the families of officials of the fifth rank and above are welcome to attend. Although the girl's manners are not good, she may be from a declining noble family and her status is not prominent."
Zhang Dingqian comes from the prominent Zhang family. In the past, he was always on par with Jiang Jinzhao, Su Sheng and others, but now he is ignored by everyone and falls behind alone.
Ever since he broke off his engagement with Jiang Qingmo, angering the Yongding Marquisate, and rumors of his homosexuality and impotence, he faced discrimination from both the aristocratic children and the White Egret Academy. Many of his former classmates avoided him out of fear of being implicated.
At that moment, he could hear the whispers of the crowd. The woman who had hurriedly vanished into the carriage before him, the decorations and colors of the carriage, seemed to evoke a vague memory in him. He had once glimpsed a similar carriage when he accompanied his mother to the Yongding Marquis's residence to break off the engagement. He couldn't help but whisper, "I have a feeling that the carriage that woman hurried to bears a resemblance to the carriages at the Yongding Marquis' residence."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were cast on the two brothers Jiang Jinzhao and Jiang Baichuan.
The Minister of War and the Marquis of Yongding had different political views and often argued tensely in the court.
Yao Zhe, the adopted son of the Minister of War, had always been at odds with the two sons of the Jiang family, especially Jiang Jinzhao, who was also a student at the academy. Jiang Baichuan, on the other hand, often skipped classes, so his conflicts with Yao Zhe were relatively rare.
Upon hearing this, Yao Zhe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Jiang Jinzhao, that woman who just behaved strangely and spoke vulgarly, could she be your sister?"
Yuan Tong, the chubby boy beside him, couldn't help but clap his hands and agree, "I just noticed that the woman's clothing and figure are quite similar to Miss Yuyao from the Yongding Marquis's Mansion, but I was never sure."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Baichuan gave him a slap on the face: "Fatty, are your eyes in the wrong place?"
Jiang Jinzhao frowned. The carriage was undoubtedly theirs. He hadn't noticed the woman who had hurried past. Could she be Jiang Songyi?
Yu Huanshen had always praised Jiang Yuyao highly. Upon hearing Yuan Tong's question, he immediately and firmly refuted it: "Miss Jiang Yuyao is renowned for her skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her grace is exquisite. Even the Imperial Concubine admires her highly. She is truly a leader among the aristocratic families. Her steps are light and graceful, like the swaying of a lotus flower. Her fresh and refined demeanor captivates everyone. How could she possibly commit such a vulgar act?"
