Chapter 65 Zhu Shanshan's Plea
Mrs. Hu immediately spoke flatteringly, "Yes, it's my sister's fault. It was Shuangyun who brought her here. Her father works for your brother-in-law, and because of some interactions, Shuangyun got to know her. Today is Shanshan's coming-of-age ceremony, and she begged Shanshan to bring her here, saying that she wanted to see the world. As I know, Shuangyun is a simple and gullible child, and she was coaxed into coming here with just a few words. But after she came here, she was ignorant and even offended Yuhuan! I apologize to you first!"
As he said this, he quietly pulled Hu Shuangyun again.
Hu Shuangyun naturally understood what her mother meant. She hurried out and saluted to the City Lord's wife. "Aunt, it's Shuangyun's fault. Sister Yuhuan has been wronged. Sister Yuhuan, Shuangyun apologizes to you here!"
The mother and daughter apologized one by one, but they never mentioned helping Li Yaojia.
"Since you have begged Shuangyun to come and see the world, then we can't let her come in vain. Come, send this young lady to the front hall and ask her whose daughter she is. She came to my City Lord's Mansion and said hurtful things. Who gave her the world?" The City Lord's wife's move was a bloodless murder.
Since ancient times, men and women have sat at different tables, otherwise male guests would not sit in the front hall and female guests in the backyard.
The only women who could appear in the front hall were actors and dancers who were there to entertain people. Ladies of status would never show up in public.
The city lord's wife asked Li Yaojia to go to the front hall, which directly ruined her!
From now on, people who mentioned Li Yaojia would compare her with lowly actors and dancers. Li Yaojia would never think of entering the upper class circle again, and she would never even think of marrying into a good family in this life!
Li Yaojia looked at the City Lord's wife with a pale face, "Madam, I have something to say!"
"Bah! How can a lowly creature like you have the right to speak in front of my aunt? Come, send her directly to the front hall! Let the gentlemen in the front hall see if her face is more attractive than those actors and dancers!" Yuhuan put her hands on her hips and gave the order arrogantly, her eyes full of pride and malice.
Li Yaojia was only a ten-year-old child after all. She was scared. Seeing that the City Lord's wife was indifferent, she turned to Madam Hu and Hu Shuangyun for help, "Madam Hu, Sister Shuangyun, please save me! I was wronged. It was clearly she who laughed at me first!"
"Shut up!" Madam Hu's face darkened as she shouted, "You made a mistake and still refuse to repent. Are you trying to frame Yuhuan?"
Hu Shuangyun also put on a disappointed look, "Yaojia, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Li Yaojia fell directly to the ground, her face pale. She couldn't believe that Hu Shuangyun, who always called her "sister", would have such an attitude!
Xiaoyun was so frightened that she hugged Li Yaojia tightly, "Don't touch my lady, you are not allowed to touch her!"
"Mother!" Zhu Shanshan walked over slowly, first bowing to all the ladies, and then returning the greetings to her sisters of the same generation.
The mayor's wife grabbed Zhu Shanshan. Although her tone was a bit blaming, her face was full of heartache. "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. Why are you running out here instead of changing your clothes?"
"Mother," Zhu Shanshan smiled and took her arm. "Mother also said that today is the most important day for our daughter. Can we just let it go? Otherwise, when people mention this young lady in the future, they will remember that this happened at our daughter's coming-of-age ceremony! Then, I'm afraid even our daughter will be talked about!"
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Shanshan's words, the City Lord's wife's expression immediately became solemn. "Shanshan is right. I was not considerate enough."
