"I heard from outside that this incident started because Miss Jun laughed in front of the teahouse and annoyed Yanyan and the others, and then the two sides started arguing and cursing."

As soon as Ning Yunzhao said this, Ning Yunyan stood up.

"What?" She said angrily, "It's because she stretched her legs and tripped Lan Fang..."

"The seventh young lady of the Hu family." Madam Ning explained to Ning Yunzhao.

Ning Yunzhao's eyes showed surprise.

"I know that Miss Jun laughed because a lady fell down, but you said that the lady was tripped by Miss Jun?" he asked.

Ning Yunyan snorted.

"That's what she would do," she said. "She would do it secretly, without anyone seeing it. Wouldn't the person she trapped know about it? She can't deny it."

Although my brother had never met Jun Zhenzhen, he had heard some discussions about her, especially after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when she wrote some ridiculous and sour poems that everyone in the city knew about and made many people laugh.

This alone shows how arrogant and rude this woman is.

But Ning Yunyan did not wait for Ning Yunzhao's surprise or disdain. Instead, Ning Yunzhao seemed to be thinking about something.

"That's actually the case," he said, looking a little serious, "She tripped that lady, and no one noticed?"

"She had already walked out the door at that time. We were about to go in and didn't want to pay attention to her. Who would pay attention to her? Who knew she would be so black-hearted." Ning Yunyan said, her eyes flashing, hiding the fact that Miss Hu wanted to vent her anger on Fang Yuxiu.

Anyway, he didn't hit anyone, so this is groundless.

Ning Yunzhao naturally saw it and smiled.

"So she laughed?" he asked directly without further questioning.

Ning Yunyan nodded.

"But other people didn't know. They just saw Miss Jun laughing and you didn't let her laugh." Ning Yunzhao continued.

"She was Lan Fang who fell down because of laughing. Of course we want her to stop laughing." Ning Yunyan said.

Ning Yunzhao tapped his fingers on the table.

"So do you think she tripped up the young lady from the Hu family intentionally or unintentionally?" He seemed to be talking to himself.

"Of course it was intentional." Ning Yunyan said angrily, unable to hold back any longer, "Brother, why are you protecting her?"

Ning Yunzhao shook his head.

"That's not what I meant by intentional or unintentional." He glanced at his sister, "I'm not defending her."

As he said this, he looked at Madam Ning and the two aunts.

"This must be a quarrel between girls. The adults in my mother's and aunt's families must not interfere, otherwise..."

Hearing him say this, a hint of surprise flashed across Madam Ning's eyes, and Madam Ning San even raised her eyebrows.

"What else?" she said.

"Otherwise it wouldn't just be a quarrel between children," Ning Yunzhao said.

Madam Ning Si couldn't help laughing, and Ning Yunyan even stamped her feet.

"Brother, this is not just a quarrel between children," she shouted.

Madam Ning San stood up again and waved to Ning Yunzhao.

"Tenth brother, you don't have to worry about it. This is a woman's business. Your grandfathers don't have to step in. We women will handle it, and outsiders won't say that the grandfathers of the Ning family bully women and children." She said.

Ning Yunzhao also stood up quickly.

"Aunt, this is not a woman's business. If this matter gets out of hand, it will become a lawsuit." He said calmly, "And it will also involve the Jinyiwei lawsuit."

Royal Guard?

The people present were stunned again.

"Can the Fang family convince the Imperial Guard?" Madam Ning San sneered, "I want to see how they can convince the Imperial Guard. Is it by money?"

"No money is needed." Ning Yunzhao said, "Just tell her that Yanyan didn't allow Miss Jun to laugh, and we in the Ning family want Miss Jun to pay compensation and admit her mistake for laughing."

What's the reason for this?

Everyone in the room was confused.

"That doesn't make sense. If I have to explain it, it's just a coincidence." Ning Yunzhao said, looking at them, "Just before my sister and Miss Jun met, the Jinyi Guards had a storyteller in the teahouse to announce the marriage between Lu Yunqi and Princess Jiuli."

The ladies of the Ning family had obviously known about the marriage between Lu Yunqi and Princess Jiuli for a long time, and were amazed at the emperor's attention and favor to Lu Yunqi. Although they lamented that it was difficult to remove evil officials, they were also more wary of the Jinyi Guard.

I didn't expect that the Jinyiwei in Yangcheng would cause such a big commotion.

"First, it is to build momentum for Lu Yunqi and to strengthen themselves. Second, it is to respond to the emperor's favor and express their joy for the emperor's great grace." Ning Yunzhao said.

That is to say, if they acted like this, the emperor would at most reprimand them for being frivolous, but in reality he would not be unhappy.

It is said that Lu Yunqi was of humble origin. His father was originally just a minor flag officer of the Jinyiwei. After his father died of illness, Lu Yunqi inherited his father's business and joined the Jinyiwei.

Although the Royal Guard is very powerful and everyone is afraid of it, not every Royal Guard can show off their power. The lower-level Royal Guards can't even guard the streets, let alone bully and intimidate others.

Lu Yunqi was originally supposed to be such an inferior Jinyiwei who could not be found in a crowd.

But suddenly he gained the emperor's favor, rose rapidly to prominence, and was extremely favored. He married two princesses in succession. Although the two princesses are not of high status now and some people avoid them, they are still princesses.

The ladies of the Ning family were distracted for a moment, then came back to their senses.

"But what does this matter have to do with it?" Mrs. Ning Si asked with a frown.

"At that time, the Jinyiwei asked everyone present to celebrate and laugh together." Ning Yunzhao said, looking at several ladies and Ning Yunyan, "Miss Jun was also present at the time."

"So what if she's here?" Ning Yunyan shouted, "What does this have to do with the Imperial Guard?"

Ning Yunzhao looked at her.

"The point is, she was laughing because she heard what the Imperial Guards said and was happy for the princess and Lu Qianhu." He said, "But you dared to criticize her laughter, which means you were unhappy and angry about the princess and Lu Qianhu's happy event."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

"Brother, she was laughing because she tripped Lan Fang." Ning Yunyan said with a glare, "What are you talking about?"

Madam Ning Da, Madam Ning San, and Madam Ning Si did not say anything, and their expressions became solemn.

"Sister, didn't you say that you didn't see her tripping anyone? You didn't see it, and the onlookers didn't see it either." Ning Yunzhao said calmly.

"If she says no, then there is no. If Lan Fang says yes, why can't there be?" Ning Yunyan stomped her feet again in anger.

"Yes, anyone of you can say anything." Ning Yunzhao said calmly, "But the key is that anyone of you can say it, and everyone else can listen, and then everyone can think about it. It's fine for others to think about it, but this time it happens that Jinyiwei is involved. If the people of Jinyiwei think about it, it won't be good."

The Jinyiwei people are very suspicious and can make something out to be true even if it is not true.

Ning Yunyan suddenly didn't know what to say and felt a little confused.

"Brother, I don't quite understand." She said, "Why did you get to this point? To the Imperial Guard?"

"So I said it was a coincidence." Ning Yunzhao said, "It was a coincidence that the Jinyiwei went out to have fun with the people, it was a coincidence that she was there, and it was also a coincidence that you met each other when you went out. What's more coincidental is that your argument started with laughter."

Let me pause here.

"You and she both know the reason for this laughter, but the people don't know. Yanyan, I asked around in Yangcheng, and everyone said it was Miss Jun's laughter that angered you."

Ning Yunyan moved her lips, but Ning Yunzhao didn't give her a chance to speak.

"Yes, if you ask carefully, some people will say that Miss Jun laughed because Miss Hu fell, but no one knows that it was she who tripped Miss Hu," he continued.

Madam Ning put down the teacup in her hand.

"Yun Zhao, do you mean that she would say that she was not laughing because Miss Hu fell, but because she was happy for Lu Yunqi and the princess to get married?" she asked.

"So when Yanyan scolded her for not laughing, she was scolding the Jinyiwei for forcing the people to have fun together?" Madam Ning San asked in surprise.

"Or is he angry about the marriage between the princess and Lu Qianhu?" Madam Ning Si murmured.

Ning Yunyan was even more stunned.

"Isn't this nonsense? I didn't mean that. I didn't even know Jin Yiwei had been to the teahouse. I don't care whether Jin Yiwei made her laugh or cry." She said anxiously.

Madam Ning's expression changed.

"Yun Zhao, are you overthinking it?" she said.

Why would Jun Zhenzhen think so much?

"Auntie Four, it's okay for me to overthink. What I'm afraid of is that if we go to the Fang family to argue, the Fang family will overthink." Ning Yunzhao said, "What I can think of, the Fang family can think of too. When the time comes, they will insist that they are laughing because they are happy together, and that our Ning family is dissatisfied with the behavior of the Jinyiwei, or even dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage between the princess and Lu Qianhu, so we scolded them and refused to allow it."

He was dissatisfied with the behavior of the Jinyiwei and the emperor's gift of marriage to the princess and Lu Qianhu, so he scolded them.

This time, not only the three ladies of the Ning family, but even Ning Yunyan, who seemed a little dazed, turned pale.

Ning Yunzhao looked at them with a calm tone.

"Mother, aunt, think about it, this is really not just a quarrel between girls."
