As a result, when they met face to face, they found out that the other party was neither of them.
Cheng Xueyun is one of the most distinguished women from aristocratic families in Kyoto, so there is no one in the Beijing circle who has a certain status that she cannot name or recognize.
Hence, she ridiculed him so unscrupulously.
Jiang Sui had not expected that the daughter of Marquis Xuanping would be so domineering and unreasonable, but she had just arrived and had no power or influence, so she did not want to offend her.
Thinking that Hechuan still had to take the imperial examination, it was better not to offend a powerful person of this level, so she did not intend to retort, but greeted him with a smile.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. I don't mean to argue with you, but you can't be so aggressive, right?
Would it be beneath her status and dignity to compete with a commoner like her?
"I am just a commoner, so I cannot compare with you. You are a noble person, shining like a pearl, so I am sure you will not be as broad-minded as me!"
As she spoke, she bowed to her and lightly wanted to expose the matter.
Cheng Xueyun loved to hear people bragging about themselves, but now she found Jiang Sui much more pleasing to her.
However, when Jiang Sui smiled and showed a pair of dimples like his brother, Cheng Xueyun became unhappy again.
She is a lowly person, why does she have a pair of beautiful dimples like her brother?
And, and…
When she smiled, she looked 60% similar to her mother when she was young.
And myself...
Thinking of this, she once again lost her good face towards Jiang Sui.
"Stop talking so smoothly. Are you worthy enough to talk to me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Sui couldn't hold back his facial expression. Well, it's really great to use power to pressure people.
If Hechuan had not yet become the Prime Minister, she would have slapped him in the face.
Just bear with you for now and wait until she becomes the Prime Minister's wife.
Jiang Sui started to complain crazily in her heart, and even had these childish thoughts, but her expression couldn't show any sign of breaking.
Cheng Xueyun's behavior made Xiao Hechuan's face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He silently took note of her in his heart.
However, Jiang Sui's smile just now also dazzled Cheng Moyang, who was guarding Cheng Xueyun, because when she smiled, she looked too much like her mother when she was young, even her temperament was so similar. And if you look closely, when she was not smiling, there was also the shadow of her mother in her eyebrows and eyes, which made him almost doubt whether he had a lost sister.
However, it was only a momentary doubt. He did have a biological sister, but she died on the first day of her birth. This has always been a concern for her mother.
"Marquis Xuanping has always been known for his benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness. People all say that Marquis Xuanping is extremely benevolent and kind, and should be a model for the literati. It is also said that the eldest son of Marquis Xuanping has been taught by the Marquis and has a good reputation at a young age. He is extremely benevolent and filial. However, the daughter of Marquis Xuanping is also extraordinary. She is a brave woman from a military family. She is really as good as a man!"
Xiao Hechuan is the one who can curse people without using any dirty words and use yin and yang to provoke others, which is really the best thing he can do.
He was hinting that Cheng Xueyun had none of the demeanor of the Marquis Xuanping and his son. Instead, she was more like those uneducated military generals. She had none of the dignity that a daughter of a noble family should have. She was arrogant and looked down on everyone.
But with Cheng Xueyun's brain, she didn't react so quickly. Her mind was full of the fact that the handsome young man was actually praising her. Only Cheng Moyang's face turned unhappy.
He took a look at Xiao Hechuan and intuitively felt that this man had an extraordinary temperament and appearance. Moreover, he was not afraid that his family was a noble family and dared to make up stories about his sister in front of her.
His sister is the same, she can't even hear that people are trying to seduce her.
Everyone understood, and Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing them making fun of him, Cheng Xueyun thought about it carefully before she realized what was going on and became angry and embarrassed.
"How dare you mock me? How dare you do that. What you mean is that I am not my father's daughter, not the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Xuanping's mansion?
Do you know that what you said today will bring you disaster? With the gate lintel of my Xuanping Marquis Mansion, stepping on you is like stepping on an ant! Um..."
She was talking excitedly when Cheng Moyang covered her mouth.
As the saying goes, "Misfortune comes from the mouth." This is the emperor's territory, and those who come and go in Baixi Garden are either rich or noble. The family of Xuanping Hou is noble, but it is not the only one in power in Kyoto. If someone with ulterior motives makes up a story and gets it to the emperor's ears, it will probably cause anger. The emperor hates it most when aristocratic families use their power to oppress others, especially to suppress ordinary people, which is the most shameful.
"My little sister has been spoiled and has a bad temper. She speaks without thinking. I apologize to you all on her behalf!"
He, the son of Marquis Xuanping, personally bowed down to apologize to them, which was very sincere. After all, they were common people, so he was giving them face.
Cheng Xueyun was furious when she saw that her brother not only did not speak up for her but also condescended to apologize to them.
"Brother, what are you doing? You are the noble prince of the Marquisate, why are you apologizing to them?"
"Xueyun, the mouth can cause trouble. Father and mother always warn you. Have you forgotten this again?"
Cheng Moyang's tone and expression were unusually serious, which frightened Cheng Xueyun a little. She choked and retreated a little. Thinking of her father's stern look, she became afraid.
Xiao Hechuan knew that Cheng Moyang was not a bad person. He was just as kind and filial as the rumors said. He would forgive others when he could. There was no need to hold on to him.
So he responded with a gentleman's courtesy, and Qi Xiuyuan and Lu Yao followed suit upon seeing this.
In the end, Cheng Moyang forcibly dragged Cheng Xueyun away. As Cheng Xueyun left, she kept looking back and glaring at Jiang Sui.
She didn't like her, and would still make things difficult for her next time she saw her, but she wouldn't be as lucky as this time.
Jiang Sui was speechless. He had just arrived in Kyoto and had already run into a tough situation.
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Sui asked Xiao Hechuan, "Has the daughter of Marquis Xuanping always been so domineering?"
Hearing this, Xiao Hechuan thought about what he knew in his previous life and told her:
"She is not actually a legitimate daughter, but a concubine's daughter. It's just that she is lucky. It is said that the wife of the Marquis of Xuanping gave birth to a legitimate daughter in her early years, but that legitimate daughter was unlucky and died in the womb. The wife of the Marquis of Xuanping was heartbroken. It just so happened that Cheng Xueyun was also born on the same day. Her biological mother was in poor health and died not long after giving birth to her. The wife of the Marquis of Xuanping missed her deceased daughter so much that she was depressed. She poured all her longing for her deceased daughter into Cheng Xueyun. After the concubine passed away, she took her to her knees and raised her. Naturally, she became the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping.
However, the fact that she was born from a concubine is unchangeable. Although she has always claimed to be a legitimate daughter, her arrogant and domineering personality has made her many enemies in the circle of noble ladies in Kyoto. The noble ladies like to use this to make up stories about her. I guess she knows that she is just lucky to have such a noble status, so she acts more and more high-profile, trying her best to prove that she is a legitimate daughter. She dresses herself up like a peacock wherever she goes, but she is just deceiving herself!"
