Chapter 127 Finally Woke Up
This is simply Zhang Zheng's dead xue.
Zhang Zheng's face instantly turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Princess Anping.
In the past, Princess Anping would never allow anyone to humiliate him like this, but today she was unwilling to say a word for him.
Princess Anping stood aside, her face pale but she never said a word to stop it. Qing Xing supported her worriedly, but saw the princess gently shook her head.
Jiang Fei glanced at Zhang Zheng. "Are you going to die now that your true colors have been exposed? You only managed to secure a position in the court thanks to the princess' connections, and now you're acting so arrogantly. Your colleagues are secretly laughing at you for being a gigolo. Do you really think no one knows?"
There was a burst of whispers around, and Zhang Zheng's face turned from blue to white, and then from white to red.
"Some men don't have the ability to hold up their own house. They are submissive outside and rely on bossing women around to gain power. If they rely on their wives, they should just serve them well. Don't try to have it all. It's ugly."
Jiang Fei thought to herself, I wanted to use a basic attack but you forced me to use my ultimate, and now I can't accept it.
Zhang Zheng took a deep breath. He was humiliated here today, and the one he lost was the princess's people, wasn't it?
He got off the carriage and walked towards Princess Anping. "Your husband is here to take you home. Will you come with me?"
Jiang Fei knew what he was planning.
When he acted bossily towards the princess before, only the people in Jiang Mansion knew about it, and there weren't so many spectators yet. If the princess had gone with him, others would have said that he had come to pick up the princess but ended up getting scolded.
Zhang Zheng held on to a glimmer of hope that as long as the princess went with him, he could save some face.
Princess Anping closed her eyes and said, "Please leave. Ah Fei and I have something private to discuss."
Everyone suddenly realized that Miss Jiang was scolding the Duke to support her sisters.
Jiang Fei smiled and took Princess Anping's arm, "It's too sunny here, let's go back."
Princess Anping nodded, and as soon as they entered the gate, Jiang Fei shouted, "Close the door."
The door slammed shut, locking Zhang Zheng's face outside.
The people around were whispering to each other.
"I also heard that his concubine is more powerful than the princess in the mansion."
"That's his ability. Look at the material of his clothes. If he wasn't a princess, how could he afford to wear such material with his salary?"
"My princess has misjudged the person, but this Jiang family's second daughter has a powerful tongue. If she marries into the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
The servant asked in a low voice, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"I know Anping's character best," Zhang Zheng sneered, "He won't last three days and will come back crying."
He suddenly swung down the curtain and said, "Go back home!"
As soon as Zhang Zheng left, the crowd began to gather in groups of three or four, gossiping and then dispersing.
A carriage that was watching the excitement lowered its curtain, and the nobleman inside urged, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to report the news."
…
Jiang Fei and Princess Anping walked towards the west wing as soon as they entered the door, and ran into Yao who had hurried over after hearing the news.
He rushed over after hearing that Jiang Fei was arguing with someone at the gate. Before he could start to question her, he was interrupted by the princess.
Returning to the west wing, Jiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, the princess is here, otherwise she would probably make me copy the Female Commandments ten more times."
Princess Anping said, "If it weren't for me venting my anger, Madam Jiang wouldn't have wanted to scold you."
"I scolded Zhang Zheng like that, but the princess wasn't angry with me."
Princess Anping smiled and took her hand, saying, "I know who treats me well. In fact, what you want to scold is what I am thinking in my heart, but I can't scold you. When you scold me, I feel like the anger that is stuck in my heart has been relieved a little."
Jiang Fei was puzzled, "Then why?"
"Are you asking me why I'm so stubborn?" Princess Anping gave a wry smile. "I always thought that if I could just be patient a little longer, he'd see my kindness and change his mind."
"Your tolerance will only make him more aggressive."
Princess Anping nodded, "I know, Ah Fei, you are the most special woman I have ever met, but not everyone can be as free and easy as you."
"You've already taken the first step," Jiang Fei said, "The first step is often the hardest. The purpose of life is to make yourself comfortable. If I were as powerful as you, I would have to walk sideways like a crab.
…
The carriage that came to watch the fun passed through the streets and alleys and finally stopped in front of a teahouse.
This teahouse may look inconspicuous and is located in a remote area, but it is a favorite destination for literati in the capital.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Chu Xiu jumped out and walked into the teahouse. The stairs made a "dong dong" sound when he stepped on them. Before he arrived, Chu Xiu's signature voice had already penetrated the door.
"Where's Mingzhen? Mingzhen!"
The bamboo curtain was suddenly lifted, and beads of sweat were still hanging on Chu Xiu's forehead.
Wei Mingzhen was playing chess with Zhuang Ji. Hearing this, he said without even looking up, "What are you talking about? Is the Taiwei Mansion on fire, or is your old man looking for another girl for you?"
“It’s even more lively than this!”
Chu Xiu grabbed the cold Junshan Silver Needle on the table and took a swig. "Just now I passed by the Jiang residence—yes, your future father-in-law's house! Guess who I saw?"
Wei Mingzhen's eyes flickered, "You must have seen Miss Jiang Er, otherwise you wouldn't have come to tell me so anxiously."
"That's right!" Chu Xiu clapped his hands, "But there's more to it than that. I also witnessed a huge spectacle. You know Zhang Zheng, right?"
"How could I not know?" Zhuang Jitong turned around upon hearing this, and the black piece in his hand dropped onto the chessboard with a "clap". "That sycophant? This morning he had the audacity to ask me where I was going. Why don't we go together? He said he 'admired the demeanor of you gentlemen'. Bah! If he wants to be a county horse, he should just be a county horse. Why is he forcing himself on the throne? I've had enough of him. He was just doing it to give the princess face."
"Hey." Chu Xiu sat next to him and said excitedly: "We give face, but some people are unwilling to give it."
"Who is it?"
Wei Mingzhen's mind flashed when he saw Chu Xiu raise his chin towards him. "It's our sister-in-law. This sister-in-law is quite remarkable. She scolded Zhang Zheng in the street until his face turned purple. I think Zhang Zheng almost banged his head against the wall out of anger."
As he spoke, he took a sip of tea and vividly recounted what had happened in front of Jiang Mansion today.
"Oh, what a gift for words! When it comes to cursing without using any dirty words, she's the future sister-in-law. She said whatever was offensive, and every word hit Zhang Zheng right in the heart."
Wei Mingzhen paused his chess game, frowned slightly, and asked, "Have you thought her reckless behavior didn't anger Princess Anping?"
"How could that be?" Chu Xiu said, tossing a grape into his mouth and catching it, then he mumbled, "Then Zhang Zheng pretended to take the princess back home, and guess what? The princess and Second Miss Jiang walked away arm in arm, and Second Miss Jiang shouted 'Close the door!' The whole street could hear it!"
The private room suddenly became quiet.
Wei Mingzhen said, "She is a person who protects her shortcomings."
"That's right!" Chu Xiu propped up his legs and said, "If you ask me, this marriage is a good one. It's better than those people who talk in circles. Eh? Why do you look so bitter and resentful?"
Wei Mingzhen frowned. "Her character is straightforward in the countryside, but it's a double-edged sword in the capital. In a place where powerful people are everywhere, being too rigid can easily break. Acting like this in the capital is likely to cause trouble and make enemies. It's better for her to be more tactful."
Chu Xiu rolled his eyes, picked up some grapes from the fruit bowl, threw them into the air, and caught them accurately with his mouth: "Why do you have to be so smooth in life? I'm always exchanging witty remarks with you. Aren't you afraid of getting uncomfortable when you sleep at night?"
Zhuang Jitong burst out laughing.
Wei Mingzhen's eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of worry in his heart.
