Chapter 391: Pretty Girl with Great Romance
Chen Zishan had never expected that she would say such words, especially saying them with such a smile that would embarrass him.
This is totally not something that a face like this could say.
In his eyes, although the Qiao family and the Shen family did not get along, the second Miss Qiao was, after all, a girl in the boudoir, and children should not get involved in the grievances of their elders, so he was polite to the second Miss Qiao and never overstepped his authority.
Moreover, this second young lady is obviously a kind person who would cry if she accidentally stepped on an ant. It really opened my eyes.
Chen Zishan's face looked ugly, purple and choked, and he couldn't speak.
Shen Lingyi frowned. When she was young and sick, she was told by the concubine at home that she should be sent to her hometown to recuperate. Her angry mother made a fuss but she did not stop them. It was her brother who insisted on following her to take care of her.
Although she was later forcibly taken back by her family, after four years of living together, her brother is the closest relative to her in her heart.
How could she bear to see her brother being humiliated like this?
"You are going too far! You are a girl in the boudoir, but you speak so arrogantly. Is this the upbringing of the Qiao family?"
Qiao Wanyan finally focused her attention on her and looked her up and down with undisguised disdain in her eyes.
Such a beauty, such a gaze, makes people feel uncomfortable and inferior.
Qiao Wanyan did it on purpose. Making people unhappy might be a skill she was born with.
It’s not okay to say that she is not good enough, and it’s even more not okay to say that the Qiao family is not good enough.
Qiao Wanyan slapped everyone in the face when no one was prepared.
Shen Zishan immediately supported her sister, and Shen Lingyi covered her face and looked at her in disbelief.
After the surprise, there came shame and anger.
Qiao Wanyan said calmly: "The upbringing of the Qiao family is to speak human language to others. Since you are not a human, I can't communicate with you because you can't understand."
"You!" Shen Lingyi was so angry, "People say you are a man of high moral character and generous, but now it seems that's all fake. You are so arrogant and domineering! Aren't you afraid that I will tell others and ruin your reputation?!"
Qiao Wanyan smiled instead, "You just returned to the capital and haven't even established yourself yet, who would believe you? I spend money like water to provide porridge and relief, and I'm generous to the young ladies of high families in the capital, who would be persuaded to rebel with just a few words from you?"
If you want a good reputation, you can certainly retaliate against others behind their backs, but what could be more painful than embarrassing someone in person?
He clearly had something on his side, but it was a useless one.
She just wanted the other person to know the feeling of powerlessness.
The double phoenix hairpin in Qiao Wanyan's hand lifted the man's chin, her eyebrows and eyes curved with a smile, "You grew up in the countryside and have never seen the world, no wonder you are so stupid."
Shen Lingyi turned her head away, breathing a little hurriedly, "You, you dare to humiliate me like this!"
Chen Zishan comforted her, "Lingyi, don't get angry, emotional ups and downs will make your illness......"
"She went too far!" Shen Lingyi interrupted, covering her chest.
Qiao Wanyan smiled, and the angrier the other person got, the deeper her smile became.
She inserted the double phoenix hairpin in her hand into Shen Lingyi's bun, "Why get so angry over such a small matter? You really can't take a joke. You just returned to the capital not long ago, and this pair of phoenix hairpins is my gift to you."
After all, if I meet her, she won't wear it even if I take it back. It is better to humiliate her now and make this hairpin more valuable before it is discarded.
As expected, Shen Lingyi pulled it out and threw it to the ground fiercely, "Who wants your charity? Reward? Do you think I am your maid?"
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Jiang Qiyun's voice had arrived before he even arrived. He strode to Qiao Wanyan's side and glanced at Chen Zishan unhappily, then at Chen Lingyi.
Shen Lingyi was stunned for a moment and looked at him straight.
Jiang Qiyun scolded: "A grown man follows his sister to bully a weak woman, do you still have any shame?"
Chen Zishan frowned and wanted to explain, "When there are more people, they become the bully? Should we ask carefully who is bullying whom?"
Who is bullying who, scolding and beating?
"Who are you?" Shen Lingyi asked.
Jiang Qiyun was annoyed, "Who do you care who I am? Chen Zishan, pick up the hairpin and present it to Sister Wanyan respectfully, otherwise I will beat you to a pulp today!"
Jiang Qiyun has always acted lawless, he can say and do this.
It was because of this character that the young men in the capital did not dare to tease or offend him to his face.
Because he really beats people up.
When people came to seek justice, Marquis Jing'an really beat them up.
Find family members to complain to the emperor. Oh, Jiang Qiyun was raised by the emperor in the palace when he was a child.
There is nothing to complain about, and there is no law.
How could there be so many emperors who break the law and commit the same crime as common people? Just try offending one of the royal relatives.
The double phoenix hairpin thrown to the ground by Shen Lingyi was picked up by Shen Zishan again.
Qiao Wanyan didn't answer. No matter whether it was a man or a woman, she didn't give any face.
Jiang Qiyun saw Qiao Wanyan leaving and warned, "If you dare to cause trouble to Sister Wanyan again, I will never let you go! I will beat up Chen Zishan, and I will hire a woman to beat up your sister!"
The old man at home doesn't allow him to beat women, so if he hires someone to do it, it doesn't count as him beating her himself.
After Jiang Qiyun also left, Shen Lingyi asked, “Brother, who is that?”
Although Chen Zishan is unmarried, he is not blind. "He is the young marquis of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. He is of low character and unruly. Although your family intends to find a good marriage for you, Jiang Qiyun is not a good match."
Chen Zishan was afraid that she would not listen to his advice and said, "The Marquis of Jing'an is a noble family, and it is also a top family in the capital, but no one is willing to marry their daughter there because Jiang Qiyun is not a good match."
Shen Lingyi asked: "What is his relationship with the Qiao family girl?"
These words stumped Chen Zishan.
"I used to only hear that he was very protective of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, and that he was not close to the second daughter of the Qiao family. But now it seems that they are on good terms. This rumor must be wrong."
Shen Lingyi said nothing more.
He is very rude to outsiders, but very nice to people he cares about.
If I could become someone he cared about...
The Jing'an Marquis Mansion is considered to be a good match for the Shen family.
Chen Zishan was a little worried. Jiang Qiyun had a bright and youthful appearance. He could be described as beautiful, the kind of appearance that every little girl would like.
But as a person, he is not a good match.
"Lingyi?"
Shen Lingyi smiled, "Brother, I don't want to go shopping anymore, let's go home."
Chen Zishan nodded and glanced at the hairpin in his hand, not knowing what to do with it.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, this pair of phoenix hairpins is worth fifty taels of gold, and it is the only one in the whole capital. You can give it back to the second young lady, but please don't keep it and make things difficult for me."
It would be a hot potato if it was kept at Huibao Tower, and it would be a waste of manpower if it was sent to Shangshu Mansion.
Shen Lingyi really liked it. She had never seen such an exquisite hairpin before. But she felt a little embarrassed to take it like this.
Anyway, it would be fine if I didn't take him out and let the girl from the Qiao family see him.
"Brother, don't make it difficult for the shopkeeper and take it back."
