Chapter 59 Supporting the Fiancé
Zhao Xingbang subconsciously dodged backwards, realizing that there were so many people around. He couldn't lose face or let others look down on him, otherwise he would become a laughing stock. How could he survive in the capital in the future?
He stiffened his neck and took a step forward. "Come on! If you have the guts, fight me again in front of all these people! I want to see how capable you, Wei Sanlang, are!"
Wei Mingzhen sneered and was about to step forward, but Wei Ciying quickly stopped him.
The people on the other side also stopped Zhao Xingbang and tried to persuade him.
"Today is Ziqing's banquet, so everyone should give him some face, right?"
Wei Mingzhen clasped his fists towards Chu Xiu and said, "I've ruined Ziqing's mood today. I'll host a banquet another day to make amends to everyone."
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Xingbang coldly and said, "As for some people, they'd better watch their mouths, otherwise they will die one day without knowing how."
Chu Xiu waved his hands quickly, "It's not a big deal. We are not related at all. It's not worth it."
"Did you hear that? Did everyone hear that?" Zhao Xingbang was shocked. "Wei Sanlang threatened me. If anything happens to me one day, he will definitely be responsible!"
Jiang Fei hid at the door and listened for a while. Wei Ciying was in a hurry and ran too fast. When Jiang Fei got out of the car, she had already run into the restaurant.
Later, Jiang Fei didn't know the specific situation and didn't want to rush in, so she just listened at the door for a while. Sure enough, she heard Wei Mingzhen asking Zhao Xingbang to keep his mouth shut. She didn't know if Zhao Xingbang had said something to Wei Mingzhen about her.
There was no way. The original owner, Jiang Rufei, had a criminal record, and Jiang Fei also felt guilty.
Jiang Fei was hesitating whether to go in when she heard Wei Ciying scolding Wei Mingzhen.
"Why are you fighting so well? You scared my sister-in-law into following you. Eh? Where is she?"
Wei Mingzhen turned his head sharply when he heard this. "What? What is she doing here?"
Well, now you have to go in even if you don’t want to.
Jiang Fei walked into the restaurant with her head held high and bowed slightly to Wei Mingzhen, "Third Young Master."
Wei Mingzhen's face turned pale. "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang should go back first."
System reminder: "Wei Mingzhen's favorability towards you has dropped to -1600."
Upon hearing this favorability, Jiang Fei had no doubt that Zhao Xingbang must have said something about her, which made Wei Mingzhen angry whenever he saw her.
You can guess with your toes that it is not a good thing. Either she is having an affair with Pei Jing or Zhao Xingbang.
Zhao Xingbang was stunned when Jiang Fei walked in. He was still wondering which sister-in-law Wei Ciying was when he saw Jiang Fei walk in.
Zhao Xingbang suddenly looked like a rooster with its neck strangled, his face turning pale and blue.
The reason why he fought with Wei Mingzhen was because he said that Jiang Rufei and Prince Zhaoning were having an affair. He kindly reminded him, but Wei Mingzhen didn't know what was good for him and punched him directly.
Now that the real culprit has arrived, he dares not speak again. If King Zhaoning finds out that he is gossiping behind her back, he will be in big trouble.
Zhao Xingbang swallowed, and his previous arrogance disappeared without a trace.
He whispered to himself to save face, "Forget it, forget it, I won't bother with you anymore."
"Who's arguing with whom?" Jiang Fei suddenly spoke up. "The Third Young Master has always been a polite person. Why would he suddenly resort to violence? I guess Young Master Zhao must have said something serious, right?"
She bet that Zhao Xingbang would not dare to say it. Even if he did, if she dared to confront Zhao Xingbang in front of everyone, Wei Mingzhen would believe her a little.
The system reminded: "Good move! Wei Mingzhen's favorability towards you has increased by 200 points."
Jiang Fei was speechless. Wei Mingzhen's favorability was really worthless. It rose and fell quickly.
Zhao Xingbang met Jiang Fei's cold eyes. Of course he wanted to tell her everything at once, but he didn't have the courage because that was Pei Jing, the King of Zhaoning.
Seeing this, Jiang Fei pressed on, "Why? Wasn't Mr. Zhao quite eloquent just now? He was able to make a gentle, refined, polite, elegant, graceful, and outstanding person..."
The system's voice was almost altered with excitement: "Wei Mingzhen's favorability towards you is continuously increasing, -1300, -1200, -1100..."
"Stop arguing!" Jiang Fei said to the system in her head, and then finished the rest of her words: "...This talented, virtuous, knowledgeable, and gentle young man is so angry that he started fighting. I guess what you said must be very complicated, right?"
Zhao Xingbang's jaw almost dropped to the ground and his head was buzzing.
He hates studying the most, so there's no need to say so many idioms at once, right?
Wei Ciying stared at Jiang Fei blankly, and Wei Mingzhen turned his face away embarrassedly.
The expressions of the others varied; some wanted to laugh but didn't dare, while others made faces at Wei Mingzhen.
Could it be that Miss Jiang has memorized the entire book of idioms?
"What do you think?" Jiang Fei asked again.
"Ah?" Zhao Xingbang was stunned. "What did you say?"
He had completely forgotten what they were talking about before. Now his mind was full of idioms, idioms, and idioms. It was the same feeling as when he was in the academy and the teacher read to him incomprehensible books for a long time.
The previously tense atmosphere dissipated in an instant.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Xiu quickly came out to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, it's all a misunderstanding."
Chu Xiu smiled and stepped forward, patting Zhao Xingbang on the shoulder. "Brother Zhao, you've had too much to drink, so it's inevitable that you might have spoken inappropriately. Brother Wei, don't take it to heart."
Wei Mingzhen was naturally willing to give face to Chu Xiu, and Zhao Xingbang quickly stepped down after finding a way out.
He waved his hand and said, "Then let's just forget about it."
"Why not?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door.
Everyone turned around and saw Pei Jing standing at the door without them noticing. He was wearing a black brocade robe, which made him look even more cold and noble.
The restaurant fell silent for a moment, and then greetings were heard one after another.
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Xingbang's face turned pale, his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Pei Jing walked in slowly, holding a folding fan in his hand, which he tapped gently as he walked.
Jiang Fei recognized that fan. It was not an ordinary fan. A blade had appeared on it and pressed against her neck before.
After Pei Jing entered the room, he fixed his gaze on Jiang Fei, then glanced at Wei Ciying and said, "I happened to be passing by and heard that there was a conflict here."
Wei Ciying quickly shook her head, "No, there's no conflict."
"That's good." Pei Jing turned and looked at Zhao Xingbang. "I'm also curious, what exactly did you say just now?"
Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of Zhao Xingbang's forehead, and he stammered, unable to utter a single word.
Jiang Fei was as nervous as Zhao Xingbang.
Could it be that Pei Jing's ghost is still lingering around? He's everywhere. This matter is finally about to be resolved, but he comes out to disrupt it.
Jiang Fei nervously twisted her sleeves.
What she was most worried about now was that if Zhao Xingbang couldn't resist Pei Jing's tyranny and told everything out, Pei Jing would know that she was using him as a shield to frame him behind his back.
In addition to killing countless people, Pei Jing was also accused of raping a woman by force of her love.
What should I do? Jiang Fei's mind raced.
That’s right! She simply refused to admit it. Zhao Xingbang’s reputation was too bad. There must be more people who believed her than Zhao Xingbang.
"What are you doing?"
Wei Mingzhen's voice suddenly came to my ears.
