Qi Yiran started yelling when he came in, and the look he gave Shen Yu'an made him want to tear him apart.
Everyone listened to her yelling, and they didn't know where she got so much resentment towards Shen Yu'an.
Mrs. Xie thought that Shen Yu'an was a guest invited by Qi Wenzhen and Qi Wenqin, so she quickly stood up and pressed Qi Yiran's finger that was pointing at Shen Yu'an, and winked at her, saying, "Why are you here so late? Come and sit down."
Qi Yiran's anger did not dissipate at all, and Chen Yu'an even raised his eyebrows at her provocatively.
The anger in her heart reached a peak in an instant.
Ignoring Xie's obstruction, Qi Yiran's eyes widened, and he walked around the table and headed towards Shen Yu'an.
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
As she spoke, she had already circled half of the table and was heading straight for Shen Yu'an's face.
Shen Yu'an stretched out his legs and fell to the ground with a thud before Qi Yiran reached him.
Qi Wenzhen also called two maids to pin the crazy Qi Yiran to the ground.
Qi Wenzhen slammed the table, and the small bowl next to him flew out.
He said angrily, "How dare you! We have invited guests to dine with us today. What are you trying to do by being so crazy?"
Then he looked at Mrs. Xie and scolded her, "Mrs. Xie, is this the model of a noble lady that you have been so proud of teaching?"
When talking about the model of noble ladies, Qi Wenzhen deliberately emphasized his tone.
Xie married Qi Wenyong, the illegitimate son of the general's mansion. He was the only one in the mansion who had two concubines, and those concubines gave birth to children before her.
So Xie felt that she was always outshined by Wen and Xin Rui.
Only her own daughter, Qi Yiran, was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and because she was the daughter of the general's mansion, everyone had to give her some room to her.
She was one of the most distinguished ladies from a prominent family in this city, and Xie had always been proud of it.
Now, Qi Wenzhen was scolding her like this in front of everyone in the mansion, and her teeth were about to break.
She pressed her nails deep into the flesh, but she seemed not to feel the pain.
She looked at her daughter who was being pressed to the ground and struggling, and said unconvincedly while sitting in her seat: "Brother can't blame my Ran Er as soon as he comes."
"Everyone knows that Ran Er is usually the kindest person to others. She wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death. But when she came in, she pointed at this Miss Shen and scolded her. It must be that Miss Shen did something to provoke Ran Er first."
Wen was watching the farce in the room and knew that she had to speak the next words.
It's just that I have some prejudice against Shen Yu'an in my heart.
When she was considering what to say, Xin Rui spoke up for Shen Yu'an, "Sister-in-law, what you said is right. You can't slander Miss Shen just because Ran'er is your own daughter. Miss Shen is not the type to cause trouble for no reason."
Xie said angrily: "Xin Rui, what do you mean!"
“…”
Neither of them gave in, so Shen Yu'an just sat quietly aside and played cat's tuck with Baozhu.
Wen's opinion of Shen Yu'an dropped again, and she spoke up to stop Xin Rui and Xie.
Said: "Okay, okay, let's listen to what Sister Ran and Miss Shen have to say."
Mrs. Xie was so angry at Xin Rui's "elbow-out" behavior that her face turned red. On the contrary, Xin Rui sat there calmly, and even though they had been arguing for a long time, it didn't show on her face.
After Wen Shi finished speaking, Xin Rui looked at Shen Yu'an who was on the other side of Baozhu, reached out and gently patted her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Shen, just tell me what you want to say, I'll make the decision for you."
Xin Rui meant to let her make the decision, not to let her make the decision as long as she was not wrong.
Shen Yu'an smiled gratefully at Xin Rui.
Qi Wenzhen patted the table again and said, "In that case, Sister Ran, you should speak first."
Before Qi Yiran could open her mouth to defend herself, Qi Wenzhen added, "But no matter what, it's not an excuse for you to disregard etiquette and come in to hurt the guests."
Qi Yiran's lips were trembling with anger. In order to prevent her from attacking and hurting others again, she was still pinned to the ground by the two maids. Unless Qi Wenzhen said anything, the two maids did not dare to let her go.
She pressed her cheek to the ground, her words were not clear, and she said incoherently: "This bitch, I... I just saw that her clothes were familiar and asked her something, and then she hurt me in the mansion and hung me on the tree. I have witnesses."
As soon as Qi Yiran finished speaking, the two maids who followed Qi Yiran knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qi Wenzhen, saying, "Everything the young lady said is true. The young lady just asked if the clothes on the girl looked familiar, and the girl got angry and started to hurt people just because of a disagreement."
As they spoke, the two of them knelt on the ground and cried, saying that they felt sorry for the young lady.
Wen looked at Shen Yu'an again and asked, "What do you think of what they said, Miss Shen?"
"Of course not." Shen Yu'an sneered and continued, "I was walking peacefully on the road, and the third lady came up to me and asked me to kneel down and apologize for wearing her new clothes, and even asked someone to take off my clothes."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I originally wanted to teach those maids a lesson, but who knew that in a hurry, I was careless and accidentally hurt the third lady."
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Qi Yiran who was lying on the ground and asked kindly, "I wanted to apologize to Miss San, but I don't think it's necessary, don't you think?"
Qi Yiran raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yu'an. At this time, Shen Yu'an was sitting high up, wearing clothes that should have belonged to her, but she was pressed to the ground and laughed at by everyone in the room.
Her lips were about to be bitten, and hatred welled up in her eyes.
Listening to what Shen Yu'an said, Wen Shi said arrogantly in her heart and looked at Qi Wenzhen to see his opinion.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions. Qi Yiran was the young lady of their mansion, but Shen Yu'an was Baozhu's savior. In this case, it was difficult to punish anyone.
Qi Wenzhen liked the way Shen Yu'an handled things calmly.
He asked, "Where is the maid assigned to serve Miss Shen? Call her over for questioning."
After a while, the maid was called in and knelt down trembling.
Wen asked her, "On the way here just now, what happened between your Third Miss and Miss Shen? Please tell me in detail."
The little maid knelt on the ground with her head down, and when she heard the words, she looked at Qi Yiran's face, who was pressed to the ground, and seemed hesitant and dared not say anything.
Wen frowned and said sternly, "Why are you asking me questions? Tell me what you have to say. If you dare to hide anything, I will not forgive you."
“Just now… just now, I brought Miss Shen to the front hall and met Miss San San San…”
She didn't know the specific things that had just happened in the hall, and what she said was not in collusion with anyone in advance.
The maid stumbled over her words, and after making a choice in her mind, she spoke very quickly: "Miss Shen relied on her friendship with Miss Baozhu to humiliate the third lady, and even kicked her directly to the top of the tree."
After saying that, he knocked heavily on the ground and said, "General, you must seek justice for the Third Miss."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the scene fell silent. The little maid kept her head on the ground and dared not move, feeling very nervous.
She spoke for the Third Miss, so she shouldn’t blame her for giving her new clothes to Miss Shen.
