Xia Zhixian smiled and asked her to come over and sit down. "You have such a big mouth! If someone hears you, you won't be able to defend yourself."
Mrs. Cheng is the biological mother of Cheng He and Cheng An. Her name is Zhu Yun and she has a close relationship with Xia Zhixian.
Zhu Yun smiled with his eyes curved. "The speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. I don't care what they do."
Then he turned his eyes to Jiang Ling again, "It's not wrong to want a daughter-in-law like Ling'er. It's also a good opportunity to win He'er's heart back. Stop him from running around all the time and being so out of tune all day long."
She joked, "He'er was complaining to us, saying that ever since Buyan got married, he's been spending less time with them. Every time he goes out, he only sits for an hour before going back, saying he's afraid his family will be waiting for him."
Zhu Yun laughed heartily, and was even happier when she saw Jiang Ling's blushing face. She loved teasing these newlyweds, it was really fun.
Xia Zhixian took her arm and said with a smile, "Buyan has finally come to his senses. When He'er meets a girl he likes, you won't be able to get him out even if you want."
The two best friends were chatting and laughing beside her, and Jiang Ling wished she could disappear quickly.
Zhou Jing'an was not around, and she was left alone to endure their teasing, which she really couldn't handle.
Fortunately, the banquet started soon after they started chatting. They sat in the hall and chatted together. The weather was cool today, which was quite pleasant.
After sitting for a quarter of an hour, Xia Zhixian exchanged glances with Jiang Ling and prepared to get up and leave.
She had just stood up and hadn't even opened her mouth to say goodbye when chaos suddenly broke out outside. A bedraggled servant ran in, shouting in panic, "Madam, there's a fire!"
As he spoke, everyone looked outside and saw thick smoke billowing all over the sky, almost covering it.
Jiang Ling and Xia Zhixian looked at each other, and both realized that the current situation was not good, so they hurried out.
When Xiaojia and his companions saw the fire in the manor from afar, they immediately jumped down from the trees and ran over. Ye Song and Ye Bai also hurried in from outside the hall to greet Xia Zhixian and the others, their hands already on the hilts of their swords.
"Madam, young madam, please go quickly."
The hall was in chaos, and the manor was in a state of panic. People were busy putting out the fire, and the ladies of each mansion were also busy responding to the fire. Add to that the thick smoke from something that was on fire, and the whole scene was a complete mess.
Ye Song and Ye Bai were rushing out with Xia Zhixian and Jiang Ling, and other servants were also escorting them. Just as they were about to reach the gate of the manor, men in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere, each holding a sword. At a glance, there were nearly thirty people!
When Jiang Ling saw this group of assassins, he was stunned for a moment.
There was only one thought in my mind - as expected, the bad premonition came true.
The next moment, Ye Song and Ye Bai started fighting with them. Xiao Jia and his men also arrived. In addition, Zhou Jing'an had ordered the secret guards to stay with Jiang Ling at all times before leaving. The two groups fought endlessly and were fighting in the billowing smoke.
Black smoke filled the sky as dozens of people were fighting inside, and it was impossible to tell who was friend or foe.
The sounds of fighting here frightened the ladies, and they all ran back into the hall screaming, making the scene even more chaotic.
