Chapter 13: A Small Dispute at the Birthday Banquet
By the time Shen Zhilan changed her dress and came out of the back house with her maid Xia'er, Jiang Yuzhu and Princess Yutan had already decided the winner.
"How come?"
Shen Zhilan just felt cold and couldn't stop shaking.
I remember that in her previous life, Jiang Yuzhu was good for nothing and was a hated idiot. Why after her rebirth, some things were not the same as before?
In her previous life, Shen Zhilan had never been to the capital, but she heard from the maid of the Xie family that Jiang Yuzhu humiliated a young lady at Madam Wei’s birthday banquet.
The young lady was so upset that she jumped into the lake in anger.
Shen Zhilan clearly remembered that the young lady's surname was Lu and she was the daughter of the censor.
Because of this, Jiang Yuzhu got into a lot of trouble. Censor Lu held a grudge against the Jiang family and often wrote letters to criticize Jiang Fulu.
In the end, the entire Jiang family was executed, and Censor Lu should be credited with a great achievement.
Shen Zhilan was still in a daze, looking dazed.
Xia Er grabbed her young lady's skirt and said, "I heard that she made a scene to vent her anger for you."
It is reasonable to say that Shen Zhilan was brought here by Jiang Yuzhu.
Shen Zhilan found a place to sit down, her mind slightly moved.
In her previous life, she was rescued by a scumbag after falling into the water, so she has a trauma in her mind.
When Shen Zhilan heard that the Wei family was celebrating the birthday by the lake, she backed out. If she hadn't heard that her cousin Xie Zhao was also there, she would definitely not go out.
At the lakeside, Wei Jing set up a trap for her. The two of them were out of place, and from an outsider's perspective, Wei Jing was pushed into the lake by Shen Zhilan.
In fact, it was Wei Jing who fell into the lake, which was a good show!
"Xia'er, Wei Jing has such a vicious mind, will my cousin fall in love with her?"
What a pure white lotus, it's so disgusting.
There is no harm without comparison. Shen Zhilan even felt that although Jiang Yuzhu was bad, she was open about her badness, which was better than being hypocritical.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhilan said hurriedly: "Xia'er, let's go find our cousin's wife to thank her."
Shen Zhilan did not give up on Xie Zhao, but she was a reborn person and did not want to owe anyone a favor. After all, her purpose was to poach him.
Jiang Yuzhu spoke for her, and Shen Zhilan appreciated it and was willing to give something back.
When Shen Zhilan arrived, Miss Lu was pointing at Jiang Yuzhu's nose and angrily scolding: "Jiang Yuzhu, others are afraid of you, but I am not. How can you, the daughter of a treacherous official, have the face to appear at the birthday banquet?"
Lu Qingxue was so angry that her fingertips were trembling. Normally, she would not be so excited.
Just now, Wei Jing told her a piece of news.
The Jiang family's playboy second son has returned to Beijing, and the Jiang family has spread the word that they are going to select a wife for the second young master.
There are not many young ladies in the capital who are not engaged. The Jiang family is attracted by the Lu family's integrity and is interested in marrying into the Lu family.
After hearing this, Lu Qingxue's head was buzzing. She didn't want to marry Jiang Huaiqing!
Now that I have joined the treacherous minister’s camp, how can I get along with my sisters in the future?
Besides, Lu Qingxue had other thoughts.
Jiang Huaiqing loves his sister dearly, and even though she has said so much, Jiang Huaiqing will definitely not marry her.
Facing the angry Lu Qingxue, Jiang Yuzhu felt that the words sounded familiar and she repeatedly confirmed that she had no connection with Lu Qingxue.
"Yes, I am the daughter of a treacherous official, and you are the only innocent one. You have earned every grain of rice yourself, okay?"
Lu Qingxue was not mentioned in the original book. Jiang Yuzhu only knew that the Lu family and the Jiang family were not on good terms, and she was too lazy to waste time talking to irrelevant people.
Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Lu Qingxue was so angry that her face trembled, and she said in a cold tone: "Jiang Yuzhu, what do you mean, are you mocking me as a prostitute?"
Daughters of officials like them, born into wealth, ever worry about money.
Jiang Yuzhu's behavior was a great insult to Lu Qingxue.
Jiang Yuzhu was annoyed at this: "Ms. Lu, please understand that I don't mean that. Do you have paranoia?"
Zhao Fendie supported her good sister and echoed, "That's right, to make money is to be a prostitute? Ask the young ladies in the capital if they have shops as dowry before they get married?"
The Lu family has a clean and upright family tradition, so they don't do business. Do they do rituals to make money every day?
Trying to put the blame on Jiang Yuzhu? No way!
Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao were injured and went back first. Zhao Fendie from the small group went into battle, fighting against three alone.
Lu Qingxue was speechless: "You...you guys..."
Zhao Fendie wanted to pursue the victory but was stopped by Jiang Yuzhu.
I'm here to celebrate your birthday today, and I've almost had enough of the limelight. If you want to argue, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
In the afternoon, Madam Wei was helped out, and a stage was set up in the villa.
When drama fan Zhao Fendie saw Xiao Taohong, his heart was filled with love and his eyes lit up.
Behind her back, Zhao Fendie said to Jiang Yuzhu, "Xiao Taohong's skin is so smooth that even a woman like me feels inferior to her."
"Okay, just look at me. I'm going to go for a walk."
Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to listen and took Hongli for a stroll.
Just now during the horse race, she found a nice platform.
Thinking of the fat fish in the lake, Jiang Yuzhu decided to eat them and grill them.
Before the master and servant left, Shen Zhilan came over and said, "Cousin, I see Miss Lu is very excited, and I'm afraid she will do something impulsive."
There was indeed something wrong with Lu Qingxue, but Jiang Yuzhu ignored it.
"Thanks for the reminder, cousin."
Jiang Yuzhu is not Lu Qingxue's parents. She doesn't mind her own business.
Seeing Jiang Yuzhu's back, Shen Zhilan whispered, "Xia'er, if Miss Lu jumps into the lake, will it be blamed on my cousin's wife?"
Xia Er asked in confusion: "Miss, how do you know that Miss Lu jumped into the lake?"
As a personal maid, Xia'er was superstitious because the young lady had predicted many things for sure, and it seemed as if she suddenly had the ability to predict things.
…
At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu had already brought Hongli to a secret place.
As soon as she passed through the bushes, she found that her territory had been occupied.
In front, Xie Zhao was fishing. Hearing the noise, he turned sideways and nodded to Jiang Yuzhu, his face calm: "Here?"
Neither too familiar nor too distant.
Thinking of their relationship as husband and wife, Jiang Yuzhu forced herself to put on a fake smile: "I wanted to find a place to take a nap, but I didn't expect the master to be here."
Xie Zhao pointed at the fishing rod and motioned Liang An to move a chair.
"lady."
Liang An was reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey.
The couple sat side by side, looking at the lake in silence.
Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes, wondering whether she should leave immediately.
Just as she was about to stand up, Xie Zhao's fishing rod suddenly moved.
“Come up!”
The red carp ran over to look and saw that Xie Zhao had caught a silver carp weighing at least 15 kilograms.
Seeing this, Liang An quickly got a net bag and put the fish in it.
"Master brought a bucket so that we can take the fish back to the house."
Liang An shook the net bag as he spoke, and the inside was already completely dark.
Jiang Yuzhu was somewhat envious and asked, "What kind of bait is so powerful?"
Liang An curled his lips and said, "Master only used rice grains as bait, but the lake fish was too stupid and took the bait on its own initiative!"
"Of course the master is very capable. These fish are enough for our family to eat for a while."
Red Carp has already made plans, and she is also thinking about releasing the carp if there are any.
Liang An was puzzled: "Why do you want to release the carp? Aren't you afraid that it will eat its own body?"
The red carp tried to argue: "The carp jumped over the dragon gate. Madam said that a carp can turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds. Do you dare to eat it?"
