Chapter 314 315. Give an explanation
Everyone naturally agreed and agreed on a time for the gathering. Just as they were about to leave, the old lady of the Ning family suddenly spoke up, "This is how you got the top spot in the imperial examination. It seems that Madam Gu has no shame at all."
Jin Qianqian's smile froze immediately, her face darkened, "I respect your age and tolerate your disrespect, but how can you say such horrifying words so easily?
My husband's position as the top scholar was chosen by the emperor himself, and his essay was read by several university scholars. Are you questioning their fairness?
And you said we used some tricks, please give me some evidence, Madam. Just based on your words, I can go to the government office and sue you for slander."
"Did I say something wrong? Everyone said my son was a top-ranked candidate, but it was because of some villain that he only got second place..."
"Mrs. Ning, what you said is totally unreasonable," Yang Wenlan said at this time, "If you say so, since you have the talent to be the top scholar, does that mean you will definitely win the top prize?
If you have any doubts, you can go and beat the drum to appeal. Anyway, many people have circulated Mr. Gu’s articles, so it can’t be false!
If you continue to talk nonsense like this, it will only be Master Ning who will be affected."
"Are you threatening my son?"
Everyone was amazed. This old lady was really too weird. They couldn't tell whether she was good or bad.
Fang Yuan wished there was a hole in the ground he could crawl into. He could only keep apologizing to Jin Qianqian.
Jin Qianqian was not ready to let it go lightly, "Look, what the old lady said is well-founded. If you feel wronged, go and file a complaint. Anyway, my husband has a clear conscience.
And the top scholar position cannot be obtained by relying on the advice of a few fortune tellers, otherwise there wouldn't be so many students studying hard for ten years. If everyone does what the old lady said, just ask someone to shout a few times and get the top scholar position directly, how can it be fair? "
Not wanting to look at her dead fish eyes anymore, Jin Qianqian simply turned around and looked at the young ladies, "It just so happens that everyone is here today and can help to be a witness. I also hope that the old lady can help Lord Ning get the top spot without any empty words."
"Madam Gu, this old lady might be confused and said some incomprehensible things. Don't take it to heart with her." Madam Hu stepped forward to smooth things over.
The old lady, who had no idea that she had gotten into trouble, wanted to go over to argue, but was held tightly by Fang Yuan, "Mom, please stop making trouble. Your husband will be angry if you go back like this."
"How dare he? Who am I doing this for? This is for the Ning family's glory, not just his business."
Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong surrounded Jin Qianqian and protected her in the middle, fearing that she would get bumped into and not be able to explain when they returned.
Yang Wenlan's face also darkened. "Mrs. Ning, you should take your mother-in-law back home as soon as possible! But I hope you can give me an explanation when the time comes."
At this time, Fang Yuan didn't care about saving face outside. He called his personal maid and old woman, and together they took the still struggling Madam Ning out.
"I really didn't expect her to cause such trouble," Now that the troublemaker was gone, Fang Yuan could only bite the bullet and keep apologizing on his own.
Jin Qianqian, "I'm just a little curious, where did Madam Ning get those ideas from? How could she insist that my husband stole the top spot from Master Ning?"
Fang Yuan smiled stiffly, "It's just some sorcerers talking nonsense. This old lady likes to go to Taoist temples or temples to pray to the gods when she has nothing to do. Maybe she has too much hope for her husband, so she is talking nonsense here. I hope you ladies will not take it personally."
Jin Qianqian looked at her with a half-smile, "Madam Ning's words are really interesting. She slandered my husband in front of so many people. If this matter is not clarified, people who don't know the truth will say that my husband is guilty.
Then can I also say that your Lord Ning is just a show-off and stole the papers of other candidates?"
"How can you talk nonsense like this?" Fang Yuan's face changed and he shouted quickly.
"You can't stand this?" Jin Qianqian laughed sarcastically, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really have two sets of standards. You can talk nonsense as long as you have a mouth, but it's not okay for others to say something."
The girls next to him covered their mouths and laughed secretly. This is the truth.
…
Perhaps because he had embarrassed her on this day, Fang Yuan asked someone to say that he was not feeling well and did not come to the appointment on the day when Jin Qianqian held the flower-viewing banquet.
Jin Qianqian didn't care, but she still told Gu Wenheng what happened at the He family that day. Gu Wenheng later found Ning Yuchen and had a good talk with him. He couldn't just swallow his grievances.

Even though Bai Jinglie was a little resistant, his marriage was finally finalized.
Upon hearing that she was indeed the legitimate daughter of a first-class general on the northwest border, Old Madam Bai's face was full of smiles. However, Kuang Yunqiao's face had been stiff since the moment she received the imperial edict.
Kuang Tianman, who had been following her, covered her face and ran back to the backyard. Everyone in the mansion knew why she had been staying in the mansion for so long. Now that the imperial decree of marriage had been issued, it was completely like trampling on her face.
Kuang Tianman suddenly ran back to her room and started packing her things as soon as she entered the door. She really couldn't stay in this marquis's mansion anymore.
Kuang Yunqiao had no time to care about her at this time. She ran to Marquis Wu'an anxiously and asked, "Why did the imperial decree suddenly come? Did the Marquis go to ask for it?"
Bai Yugang looked worried, "Am I that stupid? I'm afraid this is His Majesty's intention. I don't think I can keep my job."
Especially the little military power he holds, it is estimated that this time he will have to hand it all over. If he marries into the general's family, it is impossible for all his in-laws to hold military power.
Deng Zhiyi is still guarding the border, and His Majesty has no chance of touching him, so the meaning here is very clear. Maybe he is waiting for her to take the initiative.
When he thought of this, he felt very upset, "Boss, did you say something to the emperor behind his back?"
Bai Jinglie, "This is the first time I know that General Deng has a legitimate daughter. What can I say to His Majesty?"
Old Madam Bai came over with a cane and stood in front of her eldest grandson. "This is great. We have a good relative. Jing Lie will have someone to rely on in the future."
Bai Yugang felt a headache when he saw his mother. "Mom, what do you know? This may not be a good marriage. Once the new daughter-in-law comes home, my job will be gone."
"It's gone, it's gone. You should have a good rest at your age. When your father was your age, he passed all his titles to you. I suggest you write a petition to pass the title of Marquis to Jinglie and live a comfortable life for a few days."
The old lady glanced at Kuang Yunqiao after she finished speaking, "It's just right that you can spend more time with your good wife, so that she won't feel lonely all day long and have to bring her niece back to accompany her."
